Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute
Chapter 133 Sorry, My Hand Slipped

For a few days in a row, it was Filip who took Starry to the Pearsons' house and back to the villa. Although they saw each other every day, they didn't talk to each other except for polite greetings. On the fourth day of the car accident, Joe received a call from Hamish.

Ever since she'd clearly rejected him last time, he didn't seem to have anything to do with her anymore.

This time, when she received her call, the first thing that came to her mind was a car accident.

"It's me, Starry."

"President Bradley."

"Well, is it for your brother?"

Hamish took a long pull on his cigarette. "Yes, but... no."

Starry lowered her head and looked at the book on her legs. "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about them."

Hamish's words surprised her, but she knew what he was thinking. She didn't want to talk too much with him now. "This is my personal problem. I'll solve it myself. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

"Wait!"

The person on the other end of the phone was a little anxious. Starry pursed her lips and did not hang up the phone. "Is there anything else?"

"Have you reconciled with Filip?"

"Sorry, this question has nothing to do with you."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

In the past few days, Starry had been taken to the Pearsons' residence by Filip every day.

Although Starry didn't spend any night in the Pearson family, he was sent back by Filip after dinner every night.

This matter aroused many people's curiosity in the circle, and they were all discussing whether Starry and Filip would be together again.

But soon, the matter between Starry and Filip was suppressed by Lucia Scott's court announcement.

Starry got up early in the morning and received a phone call from Bentley, who told her that the result of Lucia's trial had come out, a four-month sentence and a public apology to Starry. "What does Miss Bradley think of this result?"

Starry smiled and said, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Wood. I'm very satisfied with this result."

"That's good."

Starry took a look at her injured leg and sighed. "It's not convenient for me now. When I recover, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."

"Then I will accept this with all my respect.."

Bentley did not stand on ceremony.

They talked about the case of the car accident again and then hung up the phone.

The weather today was not bad, and the sun would rise at about eight o'clock.

After washing up, Starry jumped downstairs. The porridge which was put into the pot last night had been cooked.

In the past few days, she had dinner in the Pearsons family, and her legs were injured so she couldn't move. She seemed to have gained some weight.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Filip came to pick her up on time.

As for Lucia, Starry thought that Filip would ask something, but he didn't say anything, just like a few days ago.

The car soon arrived at the Pearsons family's house. Starry looked at the familiar door in front of her and said before Filip got out of the car and came to hold her, "Filip."

Filip withdrew his hand from the car door and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Frances will be fine after a 7-days massage. It's the sixth days today. Izabella will be free tomorrow. You don't have to come pick me up."

"I got it."

Filip answered, turned around, opened the door, and got off the car.

Watching him walk past the front of the car, she could feel that he seemed to be a little angry.

What's there to be angry about?

Soon, he went to her side. She raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck.

However, this time, when he was about to get up with her in his arms, he loosened his grip. Starry fell back to her seat. His neck was hooked by her hands, and his head was also bent forward. When she raised her head, her lips inadvertently brushed past his forehead.

His black eyes changed slightly. For a moment, he quickly returned to normal. "Sorry, my hand slipped."

He looked indifferent, but there was no apology on his face.

Starry didn't argue with him. "It doesn't matter."

When he heard her words, he frowned and looked down at her.

She used to like to say "it doesn't matter."

Thinking of the past, he looked even worse.

He picked her up, got out of the car, and entered the villa.

This time, it was the same. After he put Starry down, he left.

Frances was already used to it. She was now eager to see him not being an eyesore in front of her.

Frances had also heard about the result of Lucia's trial. Starry was the notary of this case, so she asked Starry for more details. "I heard that the case result of the case between the daughter of the Scotts family and you has come out."

Starry glanced at Frances and said, "It was just announced yesterday afternoon."

"How long will she be sentenced?"

"Four months."

Frances took a sip of tea and said, "Such a short time."

Everything Lucia had done was so dirty.

If it had been in the past, she would make Starry be drowned with spit. It was no different from killing someone to ruin one's reputation.

Starry smiled, "It's not light."

After four months, Lucia would probably not dare to provoke her again.

Frances glanced at her and said, "If the Scotts family is looking for trouble with you, just tell me. No matter what, you have been my granddaughter-in-law for five years. Besides, those things were all caused by Filip. You are innocent. If they dare to make things difficult for you, it's totally ok to tell me!"

Frances rarely said these words, but she told these to Starry today.

Hearing this, Starry was moved. "I know, Frances."

"Don't always say that you know, but in your heart, you think that you can't trouble us."

Speaking of this, Frances seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Starry's refusal to get closer to her. "I've told you that no matter whether you and Filip can get married again or not in the future, even if you two get married with other people, you will never be able to erase the fact that you have been a member of the Pearsons family for five years."

"We are not afraid of the anything as long as we are right-minded. Let them say what they like to say outside. In this era, the public opinion is open. You can't think like us elders, who are still affected by other people's words."

After being taught a lesson, Starry had no choice but to answer obediently, "Got it, Frances."

"Humph!"

No matter what she said, the response was always like that!

Martha tried to smooth things over with a smile, and Starry began to give the old lady a massage.

On the last day, Izabella sent Starry back to the Pearsons family. After dinner, it was also Izabella who sent Starry back.

Starry gave Frances a massage for a week, and Frances's headache had been eased. At least, her headache would not appear for months.

Before she left, Martha asked Frances if she would like to come to the Pearsons family during the Spring Festival, but she politely refused, saying that she had to go back to the countryside for the Spring Festival.

On that day, Filip did not even return to the house.

After finishing giving Frances a massage, Starry felt at ease at home to recover from her injury.
