Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 146

It was warm that day, but Starry was frozen.

She felt like drowning in an ice river that she couldn't get out of.

Jackie wanted to get rid of Edward but failed.

After a few seconds, Edward took back his hand. Jackie wheezed, glancing at Starry coldly. "You knew better than anyone about what you have done, Starry! If I were you, I won't come here to annoy Sebastian even more."

Jackie went abroad half a year after Sebastian died. After the accident, Starry disappeared. The funeral was organized by Jackie and Edward. Jackie had heard a lot of stories of Starry since she came back last year.

Starry's life was splendid, while Sebastian was dead. That was unfair!

Jackie didn't want to say such words on such an occasion if she didn't happen to meet Starry today.

She was angry, for herself, and for Sebastian.

Sebastian was so good to Starry. If Starry didn't argue with him that day, if she didn't smash his phone on purpose, he wouldn't have been locked in the storage room and burned to death.

Starry caused his death indirectly.

"Jackie!"

Edward's face was frozen. He grabbed Jackie aside and said from his teeth, "It wasn't easy and she is finally getting better. Are you trying to kill her?"

Edward kept his voice low, and at the same time glanced at Starry.

Jackie sneered. "Where was she the half year after your brother died? Look at her now, she is living her life. And you are speaking like she is a nice person. Do you even care about your brother?"

"It was an accident."

"It won't happen if it weren't for her."

Jackie's eyes turned red while arguing.

Edward felt sad too thinking of the accident. "No one wanted it. Starry suffered too.

"She doesn't look like suffering. She had been the rich wife for five years. How did she suffer?"

Edward kept his voice low, yet Jackie finally lost control of her tears.

"Do you know why she married Filip then?"

"For money. Everybody knows that!"

Edward saw Starry staggered to the car and felt worried. He had enough of the argument. "Look at Filip carefully. Don't you think he resembles my brother? His side faces."

After that, Edward ran to Starry without paying attention to Jackie anymore.

Starry reached for the car door but failed to open it.

Edward rushed over. "Starry, I'll drive."

He looked at her very carefully while speaking.

Starry was shaking. Glancing at Edward, she said, "Alright."

"Starry, are you…"

Edward looked at Starry, who was walking to the other side of the car. She lost her balance. Seeing so, Edward subconsciously reached out, wanting to support her.

Starry supported herself up with the car and refused Edward's hand. "I am fine, just kind of cold."

But it was not cold today. It was sunny and warm.

Edward took back his hand. He watched Starry get to the other side of the car and opened the car door with great force.

Starry looked at Edward, "Get in."

Then, she got into the car.

It was kind of muggy inside the car, yet Starry was still cold.

Edward looked at Starry from the driver's seat.

Starry frowned a little. "What's wrong?"
