Chapter 3

Before I could think too much about it, I walked straight towards the gates, only to be stopped by the security guard.

"I'm sorry, only residents are allowed in!"

I was taken aback. I had sold my house in the complex before going to Sea City.

"I'm a friend of Ethan North. I'm here to see them," I said. Surely a resident's friend would be allowed in.

The guard gave me a look that said "I knew it", his tone full of impatience as he pointed at the group of young girls,

"Every woman who comes here claims to be here for them."

"And they all say they're their girlfriends too."

He started pushing me away, "You're so young, don't you have anything better to do? Chasing after celebrities all the way to their homes."

"Have you no shame!"

Suddenly I remembered Ethan mentioning something about their debut a while back.

I hadn't paid much attention then, but it seems they've become quite famous now.

But how was I supposed to get in?

"Wang, do you still want this job? How could you let someone rush in like that?" A familiar female voice came from behind just as we were at an impasse.

The guard immediately put on a respectful demeanor, apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry, Miss Sullivan. I'll send her away right now."

Miss Sullivan?

I didn't know many people with the surname Sullivan!

Curious, I turned around, startled to see Amber's face. It was her! Wasn't she with Lucas? What was she doing here?!

Amber looked equally surprised, but only for a moment before switching to a mocking tone, "Well, if it isn't Miss Thompson! Just got dumped by your boyfriend and now you're here to chase celebrities?"

"Aren't you moving on a bit too fast?"

I felt extremely annoyed. Who did she think she was?!

Trying to control every aspect of my life!

She clearly thought I was easy to bully. Well, it was time to show her who Mia Thompson really was.

"None of your damn business!" I snapped.

Before Amber could respond, the guard roughly shoved me. "How dare you speak to Miss Sullivan like that!"

"So vulgar. Dressed like that and claiming to be friends with Mr. North and the others. Have you no self-awareness?"

"If you want to get close to celebrities like Miss Sullivan, at least buy a villa in our complex first!"

Seeing the guard's arrogant attitude, I couldn't hold back my anger. "You think I can't afford it?"

Amber and the guard were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Especially Amber, who was laughing so hard she could barely stand straight. "This is hilarious, Mia. I think it's not just your eyes that are messed up, but your brain too!"

She came closer, whispering in my ear, "Do you still think you're some millionaire sugar mama?"

My heart sank suddenly, an ominous feeling washing over me.

I stared at her intently, my voice trembling uncontrollably, "What... what do you mean by that?"

Seeing my panicked expression, Amber's face lit up with a smug smile. She turned to instruct the guard,

"Wang, make sure you guard the gate well. Don't let any riffraff slip through."

"Especially blind ones like her. Be careful she doesn't try to scam you later."

The guard agreed eagerly, turning to drag me out.
