Chapter 241 Digging Into Mervin
Reluctantly, Shirlene stood up and approached the door to open it.
Cavalier, a 12-year-old boy, stood outside with a partially eaten apple. He naively looked up at her and offered it to her. “Shirlene, would you like an apple?”
“I don’t want it! Don’t knock on the door. I’m busy!” With that, she slammed the door shut, her heart consumed with anger.
Rejected at the door, the little boy had a gloomy look in his eyes and hung his head as if he had committed a grave mistake. He simply admired his beautiful sister, Shirlene, and wanted to be close to her, but she always ignored him.
As she sat by the window, her phone rang, and she quickly answered, “Hey, what have you got?”
“Miss Grayson, Mervin Laurent is a discreet rich heir. His net worth is estimated to be at least billions,” the caller reported.
Hearing this, she was utterly astonished. “Billions?”
“Yes, he fully paid for a seaside villa worth nearly 15 million approximately two weeks ago.”
This completely shattered her understanding of Mervin.
The caller continued, “He’s quite carefree. We haven’t discovered the identity of his parents yet, so they might be abroad. Regardless, there are no constraints on him; he does as he pleases. He used to lead a cyber security club, mentoring talented team members and competing in international competitions. He possesses a strong sense of patriotism, but for some reason, his club was shut down, seemingly due to Mr. Fox. However, the team remains together, and they recently achieved a
championship victory in a competition. He entered the entertainment industry abruptly without any prior indication. It seems like a spontaneous decision, and it’s uncertain how long he will stay. He might only participate in one or two dramas before leaving the industry.”
Shirlene was taken aback. Is he like that? What a peculiar man!
“Does he have a girlfriend?” she asked the most pressing question.
“Based on the information so far, he doesn’t have one consistently.”
At that, her heart sank. “What do you mean by that?”
“In recent times, he hasn’t been seen with any women, but before entering the entertainment industry, he was never short of female companions. The caller continued, “He has a reputation for changing partners frequently, with clear boundarinovelxo.com fast updatees and breakups. Many women were attracted to his playboy charm, but it appears that he never invested genuine feelings.
Pondering, Shirlene began to grasp Mervin’s personality better. This behavior is in line with his personality. I can’t do anything about it. After all, I also have feelings for him.
“What are his interests and hobbies? What fitness activities does he enjoy? Which bars does he frequent? And what’s his favorite drink? Please gather all the information for me!”
“Miss Grayson, do you… have an interest in him too?” The caller expressed their concern.
She lifted her lip, raising her glass of red wine. “What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to pursue a relationship with him?”
“He isn’t a loyal man.” The caller treated Shirlene as a friend. “I’m worried that you’ll get hurt and end up being just one of his countless ex-girlfriends.”
“That’s because you don’t believe in my charm. Just get me the information I want.” With those words, she abruptly ended the call.
She had been in the entertainment industry for many years, working with numerous young heartthrobs, but someone like Mervin was a unique case for her. He’s like an untouched leaf in a garden full of blossoms. Everyone has a heart, and he just hasn’t found someone who truly captivates him. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
With a smile, she sipped her wine, knowing he was the only man who truly captivated her heart.
Shirlene had once dreamed of becoming Stanley’s wife, but she knew deep down that it was an unrealistic fantasy. Besides, he was already married and had children. With Mervin’s immense wealth, marrying him would also mean entering a wealthy family.
In the Seaside Estate, the evening breeze whispered through the leaves while the gentle touch of night dew adorned the grass in the yard with tiny, glistening droplets. The moonlight shone in a serene, watery glow.
After dinner, Melinda retreated to her bedroom upstairs. Seated by the window, she was lost in thought. Throughout the day, she would gaze at the clouds and the moon.
On the coffee table sat the teacup that Stanley had given her, filled with warm water. During this period, she had been using this cup to drink water as if it still held his warmth.
Unable to resist, she turned on her phone and searched for news about his car accident but found nothing. She desperately yearned for updates about him, even the tiniest ones. Has he awakened? Is he still in Navelie! Has he overcome the life-threatening situation? Is he experiencing any pain?
At that moment, Mervin entered the room. His steps were light, or perhaps she was so lost in thought that she did not notice his presence.
