I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 52: Chapter 51: Seeing is Deceiving 1

Alright, this has nothing to do with you, you should go first,”

Harrison Clark said to Lucy Haywood with a stern tone.

Lucy was just a minor character compared to him, and he didn’t want to drag her into this mess.

As a mere university student, she probably couldn’t withstand the wrath of Eric Mitchell.

No way! I can’t just stand by and watch my idol get slandered like this.” Harrison’s protection only emboldened Lucy, who stepped forward and said, “I am Lucy Haywood, a junior in the vocal department at the Milton Music Academy! I’m just a small server. Compared to all you important people, my opinions don’t matter much. But I can’t stand by and watch you fabricate the truth here!”

Eric Mitchell said coldly, “Very well, I’ll remember you. But you’d better find out who I am, so you know who would be a better choice to fawn over.” “Bah! Who wants to fawn over you? I don’t care who you are! I’m not trying to fawn over anyone… Oh wait, I do want to fawn over Mr. Harrison Clark. I wish he would take advantage of me!”

Eric was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you here to make us laugh, little girl?”

Harrison Clark covered his forehead with one hand, beginning to feel a headache coming on.

The other guests’ expressions turned strange. Was this girl, Lucy Haywood, really here to help clarify things for Harrison and Carrie Thomas?

Why did she seem like a liability?

“The reason I’m willing to vouch for Mr. Harrison Clark’s integrity is that I couldn’t get close to him! I was so forward, but he didn’t take the bait!” Lucy stood with her hands on her hips, exclaiming while casting resentful eyes at Harrison.

Eric waved his hand, turning his attention to someone else, “Lucia, I’m sorry for this little scene at your birthday party. However, this girl seems a bit off. I can’t understand what she’s getting at. Maybe we should kick them all out?” Indeed, Lucy’s logic was a little chaotic. It seemed like she was on Harrison’s side, but her words were utterly bewildering, sounding a bit like a lunatic.

But Avril Green didn’t listen to Eric’s instigation. She made a downward motion with her hand for the event manager to calm down and asked, “It seems that you knew Mr. Clark before? I’d like to hear how this all came about.” Finally addressed by Avril, Lucy felt both excited and nervous, and her momentum weakened slightly. She stammered, “A few days ago, Mr. Clark came to our school to find someone to help him with a demo for a song. He happened to meet me. I was so excited when I heard that he was the producer of ‘Boring.’”

“The demo? The one you plan to sell to Jenny Hart?” Avril asked Harrison curiously.

Harrison nodded, “Yes, it was already recorded, and the contract was signed several days ago.”

“No wonder Jenny initially had no time today but decided to come personally when she heard you were coming,” Avril said with sudden understanding. Speak of the devil, Jenny Hart’s voice came from the crowd behind them.

“Hey, what are you all doing here, gathered in such a large group?”

Avril laughed, “The main character is here. Let’s sum it up: Lucy, are you a crazy fan of Harrison Clark?”

Lucy nodded, “Absolutely!”

“So much so that you threw yourself at him?”

“Who wouldn’t want to! I felt it; I had been single for twenty years, just waiting for him! From the moment I saw him, I wanted to have a baby… with him!” Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

What’s the most precious thing in the 21st century? Talent!

This girl really was a talented character!

Though she looked bright, her train of thought was quite unconventional. Perhaps she had been hit on the head as a child?

Interestingly, Avril didn’t laugh, probably because she had met all sorts of strange people before.

She just asked, “But he rejected you?”

“Yes, he rejected me so cruelly.”

“So you firmly believe that Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas have nothing going on?”

Of course, I believe that given their characters, if there was something between them, they would have been upfront about it. If they said there’s nothing, then there must be nothing!”

Avril fell into a moment of thought.

After a while, she finally said, “The only one who can prove the truth of what you’re saying is Jenny. Listen to her speaking, is she the one who sang the demo?”

Jenny was slowly beginning to grasp the situation, but she couldn’t be certain just yet, “There’s still some difference between someone singing and speaking. I can’t say for sure.”

Lucy anxiously said, “Mr. Hart, can I sing a few lines for you?” Jenny nodded, “Sure, we’ve already registered copyright protection, and we’ll be releasing a single for promotion next month. You can just sing the first two lines.”

As soon as Lucy finished singing, the eyes of several professionals in attendance lit up.

This rare and exquisite contralto voice-she truly was a talent!

“It’s definitely her, no doubt about it!”

Jenny Hart delivered the final verdict.Meanwhile, Eric Mitchell, standing at the side, was utterly confused. The situation didn’t develop in the way he expected Neither Harrison Clark nor Carrie Thomas said anything, but it seemed like the crisis looming over the couple’s heads had been dispelled?

No, you still can’t explain why you two are living together!”

Carrie Thomas coldly retorted, “Why do we need to explain? What’s wrong with living together? Haven’t you ever shared a rental before…”

Harrison Clark coughed and interrupted Carrie, “Eric comes from a wealthy background, so he’s never shared a rent before.”

Carrie gave him a sidelong glance.

Could he be any more brutally honest?

Luckily, Jenny Hart spoke up at this moment, “By the way, friends, you may know that I recently took on a spokesperson job for Chesterton Apartment in Oxfordshire, right?”

A few people nodded.

“I’m afraid nobody knows that Mr. Clark, besides his songwriting career, previously worked as an employee of Chesterton Apartment. He was responsible for the very residential area where he and Carrie live. Am I right?” Jenny’s question was directed at Harrison.

Harrison knew she was providing him with an easy way out based on the truth “Yes.”

“I won’t advertise here, but Chesterton Apartment does provide staff accommodation. I’ve visited the company before, and the room Carrie and Harrison share is in the same suite, but separated by different floors. Harrison’s is the company provided accommodation, while Carrie is a renter who moved in on her own. It’s a mere coincidence, right?”

“Yes.”

At this point, everyone seemed enlightened. Eric’s previous attacks were quickly neutralized by Jenny, the key figure who played both offense and defense.

Harrison felt relieved and silently praised Jenny for her sharpness.

However, Carrie was becoming impatient at this point, “Alright, I shouldn’t have attended this high-society gathering. It’s BORING. Do whatever you want; I’m going home to sleep.”

As she finished, she really intended to leave, as her patience had been worn down to the limit.

But she abruptly stopped and pointed at Eric, “The impure will always be impure, the pure will always be pure. Eric Mitchell, no matter what you say or how you want the reporters to write, I don’t care how you want to smear me, even if you want to tarnish me as a loose woman. Moreover, what’s the problem if Harrison and I are living together and dating?”

“All I want to do is sing; all I care about is singing. As long as my songs are good and I don’t break the law or commit any crimes, what do I have to fear? Eric, I can tell you outright-if you truly have the ability, find someone to kill me, run me over! I said I won’t be with you; I’d rather die than be with you!” “You’re a fucking animal led by your crotch, walking around with your dick on your head proudly on display. Do you have any shame? Does your prominent family in Oxfordshire have any shame? Is there any justice under the bright sun and sky?”

“Come on!” She blatantly spread her legs and assumed a horse stance.

She pointed to her lower abdomen, “Eric, you shameless dog, you want to sleep with me, right? Take out your ugly thing right now; I’ll let you have a good time in front of everyone! Do you dare?”

Carrie’s words tore up the last semblance of civility.

Although many people present knew what kind of person Eric was, no one had expected that Carrie would so boldly and publicly expose Eric’s malicious heart and lay it open for everyone to see and judge.

She really dared to swear at Eric like that!

She was really going all out.

Harrison, too, was shocked, his mouth agape.

Carrie, you are truly fearless!

Eric was dumbstruck.

Avril Green covered her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Carrie.

She stepped forward and grabbed Carrie’s hand, “You’re my guest tonight; I can’t let you leave like this. Calm down, the matter has been cleared up, and Eric wouldn’t dare let the media write anything false. Right?”

Avril’s latter words carried a hint of threat.

Carrie shook off Avril’s hand and said impatiently, “You only now remember that we’re also guests?… Forget it.”

In fact, Carrie had been somewhat annoyed for a while but hadn’t lost her temper.

Now that she had let off some steam and remembered that she needed help, she held back a little more.

Avril apologized repeatedly, “It’s my fault, but I just wanted to clear things up and maintain your and Harrison’s reputation. Am I right?”

Carrie forced a grim smile, “What’s the big deal about a reputation? Even if it wasn’t clear, so what? It’s just that I’m a believer in singlehood; otherwise, a good man like Harrison should be tied down and taken home for a normal’life.” Harrison pointed at his nose, dumbfounded, “Am I… am I that good?” At this moment, Eric was now completely left out of the conversation.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

Avril glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, squinting slightly, “Young Master Eric, I didn’t host you well tonight, and I didn’t know about your issues beforehand. I’ll host a private dinner party for you in the future, apologizing for my mistake, alright?”

Eric couldn’t believe his ears.

She was actually kicking me out!
