Cordelia was always worrying and afraid, fretting that something was wrong with her baby. Sometimes, she was so
anxious at night that she felt for her son’s breathing from time to time.
Zuko clung to her especially much too, crying whenever he did not see his mother. Cordelia could not get away
even if she wanted to.
“Motherhood’s never easy!” Helen said with a grin, “Our baby Zuko’s already very easy to handle! Right, there’s a
term for it online… angel baby!”
Cordelia chuckled. “Aunt Helen, you go online too?”
“Of course! I might be old, but I’m trendy! Just this afternoon, I went on social media!”
Cordelia grinned. It was no wonder she did not see her for the whole afternoon.
“Sigh, it’s just my bad eyesight that I can’t see some words clearly. I don’t know if it helps Aurelia!”

“Oh, well…” Helen explained, “The child came to me during noon, panicky, and asked me to sign up dozens of
accounts to help her publish posts! Almost got to her knees to beg me! She can only speak Acian but not write and
barely can read. I taught her for quite some time!”
Cordelia was confused, listening until Helen showed her the phone. It was only then she figured the situation out.
The posts were right below the same video clip—by different accounts but all Aurelia’s tone of speech. The video
clip was Neil’s interview.
…
Neil was in Shane’s office. Both of them spent a long time looking at their phones.
Shane had pulled several strings to cut the video clip’s clout, but he was still amused by the posts he saw here and
there.
There were a few of them that stood out.
[Disclaimer: I’m Neil Harris’ friend. I can be witness that he absolutely does not have a fiancee!]
[I have insider news. Neil’s not in any relationship. He has never lied to his fans. He’s been sincere and open!]
[Me, me! I also know that the girl by his side isn’t his fiancee! He doesn’t like her! Please don’t be misled by
conscienceless paparazzi and misunderstand Neil! He’s your best actor, always!]
Shane could not help laughing.
“Hey, what fans do you have? Good job trying to get you out of this!”
Neil was silent. The complicated emotions in his eyes spread like ink.
With that awkward Acian, he knew right away that it was the girl! Not only had she left comments, but she also
retorted to every post that was unkind to him. It was just that her Acian was so bad that her retorts read like an
elementary school kid.

Aurelia probably did not know that his agency would take care of things like this and that his PR team was one of
the best in the industry. She had signed up for so many accounts and left comment after comment, retorting post
after post and bumping posts that got flooded by newer ones. She was using her clumsy ways to protect him
stubbornly.
“Hey, look at this one!” Shane got to the last page.
The comments on that page were posted when the video clip had just been uploaded. People were influenced, fully
criticizing Neil for disrespecting the reporter and not caring about his fans. Some even instigated that Neil’s talent
did not deserve such a reputation and that he was unworthy of his title as an award-winning actor.
There was also a rather insignificant comment on the same page, [He’s the best uncle in the world. You can’t say
that about him!!]
Neil’s gaze dimmed as his heart suddenly throbbed in pain.
