Chapter 554 Rich and Powerful
Laura shook her head.
“No.”
She compressed her lips. It wasn’t easy for her to say it out. In fact, if Max hadn’t forced her to do that,
she wouldn’t be able to be so cruel to Isaac.
But now she was left with no choice.
After thinking for a while, she was ready and opened her mouth.
“Isaac, I’m so sorry, but I think our pact should end now.”
Isaac was shocked. It was totally beyond his expectation that Laura would talk about that with him.
He couldn’t believe his ears at all. “Why?” he asked after a long while.
Laura felt quite guilty. They were friends and had a pact.
Laura agreed to be his girlfriend to help him deal with the pressure from his family. And he would help
her take care of her mother so that she could focus on her career.
Back then, Laura wasn’t so famous with less income. Bothered by her foster father, she barely had time
to take good care of her mother.
Luckily, Isaac helped and supported her to go through some hard times. Now she had a stable life and
everything was getting better. But she ended the pact with Isaac. It seemed Isaac was no longer useful
in her eyes so she kicked him away, which was really unfair and unacceptable.
But Laura was literally left with no choice. If she didn’t do what Max said, she honestly didn’t know what
Max would do afterward.
Isaac had helped her a lot. She didn’t want him to be in trouble because of her. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
The Morgan family was no rival for the Nixon family when it came to power and wealth.
Thinking of that, she took another deep breath and said calmly, “Well, just you know I’m a celebrity, an
actress. Since we’re not a real couple. I don’t think it should go on. I don’t want my career to be
affected if it’s exposed one day in the future.”
Saying that, she put on a wry smile, “You know I’ve paid much for my career. I don’t want to ruin it.”
She tried to sound as selfish as possible, as if she couldn’t care less about his feelings.
Only in that case would Isaac be really disappointed and leave her.
But Isaac had known her for a long time. He knew her very well.
He didn’t believe a word she said.
“I don’t think this is what you’re thinking. Tell me what happened? If there is anything I can do, I won’t
hesitate to help. We’ve been through a lot together before. And we've always been there for each
other. Why do you suddenly want to give up?”
Laura really didn’t want to hurt him, but she had to end this now.
“I’m sorry. I’m very grateful to you for your help. It’s my fault that our relationship must end now,” she
said in a calm voice with a frown.
But Isaac wouldn’t listen. He reached out to hold her shoulders all of a sudden. “No! Laura, tell me why.
I need an explanation. You can’t call me over when you need me and chase me away without a reason.
Didn’t you say you wouldn’t push me away no matter what happened? We had a pact. How could you
betray me like that?” It was painful for Isaac to even ask these questions.
Laura felt a little dizzy when he shook her, and it wasn’t easy for her to do that either.
She was unwilling to upset him. During these years, it was Isaac who stayed by her side all the time.
She didn’t want him to be sad, but she was left with no choice.
She knew Max too well. If she didn’t deliver her promise to him, not only her mother, but Isaac could
get into trouble.
She owed Isaac too much, and it must stop now. She couldn’t drag him into this.
Thinking of that, Laura pushed Isaac away.
“I’m sorry. There is no other reason, believe it or not. We should stop seeing each other from now on.
Take care.” she said in a serious tone.
She didn’t dare to meet Isaac’s eyes again, and quickly walked away.
In Isaac’s sight, she was ruthless and gradually disappeared till she was totally gone.
The door of the lounge was slammed with a bang. He felt that it was slammed in his face.
Standing there, Isaac didn’t know what to do. His face almost turned purely pale.
After a long while, he stood up and slowly walked out.
Once Laura was outside, she attracted much attention.
Isaac was a handsome young man after all. Although no one knew him, he was obviously not from an
ordinary family given his appearance and quality.
Everyone believed he must be a rich heir or a senior manager of a company, and was quite interested
in his relationship with Laura.
But Laura chased them out, so nobody heard their conversation.
Even though they couldn’t hear what they were talking about, they stood not far away and observed
them in silence. Everyone thought they might stay in the room for a long time, but unexpectedly Laura
was out in just a few minutes. And she looked unhappy.
In a short while, the handsome young man walked out as well. He looked even more displeased, as if
he lost his soul.
Onlookers all looked at each other. What exactly had happened?
“Did anything go wrong between them? Did they quarrel?” someone asked in a low voice.
“No idea.” Another person shook her head.
At this time, the assistant director walked over.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing here? Hurry up and get back to work!” He clapped his hands and
shouted to them.
They dispersed right away.
On the other side.
Laura didn’t feel relieved until she learned that Isaac had left the set.
It was a great burden lifted from her shoulders.
She stopped thinking about him and devoted herself to the shooting.
Because it was a short drama with only 24 episodes, the filming cycle was relatively short. They only
had three months.
She thought Max would soon come to see her again. But surprisingly he didn’t show up in those three
months.
