Chapter 1845: Explaining Through Actions

Lacy had no choice but to turn away in tears; carrying her suitcase, her lonely figure vanished into the darkness.

Anton Miller didn’t even stop to think whether it might be dangerous for a girl to go out alone in the middle of the night. He just sat on the sofa drinking.

He wasn’t sad about the breakup at all, just furious, and he figured he’d be in the news again tomorrow, getting chewed over by the public.

Sure enough, the front page the next day was dominated by Anton Miller, and the comment sections on Weibo and the forums were completely overrun.

He was traffic all by himself—handsome in that bad-boy way, led a team to compete and win glory for the country, frequently taking the championship.

Not only was he good-looking, his acting was solid too; his very first drama made him blow up completely, and offers have been nonstop ever since.

Plus, being Justin Kingston’s younger brother also boosted his traffic, so his popularity basically never cooled down.

The thing people love gossiping about most is his dating history. He’s never tried to hide it; every relationship is clean and decisive. The transitions are a bit "seamless," but he’s never two-timing.

And no woman has ever badmouthed him afterwards.

The richness of his love life doesn’t lose to any male celeb in the country; saying he changes women like clothes is not an exaggeration for him.

Early morning, Emerald Cove. In the elegantly styled restaurant, the beautiful dawn light poured in through the windows.

Justin Kingston and Mia Lane were sitting at the dining table having breakfast. The food was exquisite and plentiful, with a portion custom-made for a pregnant woman.

"Anton’s on the front page," Justin said to her. "Did you know?" He’d checked the news right after he got up.

Mia lifted her glass of milk. "Why?" She clearly had no idea.

"That girl went live at his place yesterday evening. Netizens all know he took a girlfriend home, and a lot of people started pushing them to get married."

Mia fell silent at that, because Anton had made it crystal clear that the word "marriage" doesn’t exist in his dictionary.

Justin took a sip of milk and analyzed coolly, "This girl stepped on a landmine. Very likely Anton kicked her out last night and slammed the door behind her."

"Could be." Mia sighed and shook her head. "Dating is fine, but getting greedy isn’t. Especially with a playboy like him—you take what you both need, but of all things, don’t catch feelings."

Justin said, "Her name’s Lacy. I dug up some stuff online about her and Anton. They’ve been together for a little over a month. They were photographed eating out together, soaking in hot springs, and he bought her a bunch of high-end designer clothes."

"Looks pretty considerate, just not genuine. How does he even manage that? Don’t people have feelings?" Mia couldn’t help sighing. "No idea if some woman in the future will actually be able to tame him."

On that point, Justin didn’t dare make any easy predictions either. After you’ve played around with too many women, it’s got to be hard to really fall for just one.

But Justin is the type with a kind of cleanliness obsession—no matter how outstanding a woman is, if he doesn’t like her, he absolutely won’t touch her.

By the afternoon, Anton really couldn’t stand looking at those news pieces anymore. All the speculation and all the blessings made him feel like the punchline of a joke.

And his Weibo was a disaster zone too.

Lacy was already secretly getting drunk in some bar, while clueless netizens were still showering her with blessings online, thinking she’d locked in the title of Mrs. Miller. Any woman Anton took home had to be something special.

"Heh, what’s so special about it?" Lacy’s heart felt like it was being ripped apart as she mocked herself. "Didn’t I still end up dumped just the same?"

Faced with this situation, Anton decided to explain himself with actions. When the media hounded him about marriage, he kept his mouth shut.

He simply brought a long-legged beauty back to the villa, let her spend the night, and of course they were photographed!

Anton’s new romance exposed!

Everyone got it now: Lacy had crossed his bottom line and been booted from the game.

So, netizens all joked in unison—

It’s fine to play, but getting too greedy is not.

Since it’s a game, breaking the rules comes with some pretty serious consequences.

Three days later.

The Lorelei royal family arranged a private jet to fly to Riventhal to pick up Bertie and Princess Annie. Ian Shelby and Jocelyn, Nathan Mills and Carlotta Sterling went along, and Trevor went too.
