Lornell was taken aback. He had indeed forgotten about Harley's mother's past.
For him, everyone around him belonged to prestigious and wealthy families. He had grown up in such an environment, and all his friends were from similar backgrounds. So much so, that he sometimes forgot that there were always exceptions in this world.
"If what I said earlier upset you, I apologize," Lornell said.
Harley was somewhat surprised. After all, the Lornell she knew wasn't someone who would apologize easily.
"But I still hope you won't give people like Calvert a chance. I don't want to see you get hurt," he said.
Upon hearing this, Harley couldn't help but inwardly mock herself, considering that the person who had hurt her the most was Lornell himself!
However, to avoid any awkwardness, Harley said, "I'll be careful, but Calvert is my friend!"
Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the spot below where they were originally filming. A few people, who seemed to be onlookers, tried to rush towards the model, but they were stopped by the staff on site, turning the scene into a bit of a chaotic mess.
Harley frowned, what on earth was going on?!
She immediately wanted to rush out of the private room.
"Don't go!" Lornell abruptly pulled Harley back. "If you go now and someone recognizes you, you'll probably end up in the news again, and become the subject of all sorts of rumors and gossip!"
Harley pursed her lips, "Even so, I want to go and make sure. As for what happens next, I'll handle it myself!"
With that, she quickly left the private room.
Lornell stared at his empty palm, the sudden loss of warmth made him feel as if something was missing.
But she didn't take the photo!
