Chapter 4 The Best Actor Boyfriend
Edie had no idea what Carl was thinking. She lifted the blanket off him, helped him from the bed to his wheelchair, and then moved him to the bathtub.
Carl was a tall man, and for Edie, he was heavy. Just these few actions left her panting.
She knelt on the ground, leaning half her body on Carl as she caught her breath. “This is exhausting me.”
But then she thought about not only the money but also getting such a desirable husband, and she quickly regained her energy. She pinched his chiseled face and laughed. “Okay, I’ll let it slide since you’re so adorable.”
Hot guys were always adorable.
Edie’s breath tickled Carl’s neck, and he let out a cold laugh in his mind, ‘She’s just after my money.’
It was not until Edie started undressing him that he remembered she was there to bathe him.
Carl cursed Drogo several times in his mind for taking money but not doing his job. ‘ Drogo, you just wait! When I wake up, I’m docking your salary by a month.’
Edie stripped Carl naked, filled the bathtub with water, and went about her work with professional ease. She even chuckled while washing him. “It’s so big.”
Carl was speechless. ‘Not only is she greedy and scheming, but she’s also flirtatious.‘
Edie didn’t notice that Carl’s right hand fingers, submerged in water, twitched rapidly in anger.
It was almost unnoticeably; or else, with Edie’s professionalism, she would have reacted immediately–this could be a sign of consciousness in a vegetative state patient.
Considering they were now legally married, Edie felt completely at ease while bathing Carl, not feeling awkward at all.
Even though she had touched every part of his body, Carl had to admit that Edie was impeccable in her profession. ‘With her taking care of me, it really increases my chances of recovery.‘
He gritted his teeth. ‘Alright, I’ll bear with it for now. We’ll settle accounts when I wake up. 50% of my private property? No way; you won’t get a cent after the divorce.‘
*****
After dealing with the Brooks family matters, Edie returned to the hospital and continued her work.”
By the time she got off work, it was already past nine o’clock.

Chapter 4 The Best Actor Boyfriend
She still had a message from her boyfriend Sebastian from last night, suggesting they needed a talk.
Edie and Sebastian had been dating for over a year. She knew where Sebastian’s studio was and drove straight there.
Sebastian, the mega–famous best actor.
Sebastian was always in the headlines, and although rumors about his love life never ended, none of them had ever been confirmed.
Edie walked into Sebastian’s studio. Assistant Ebenezer Ray was guarding the outside. Upon seeing Edie, he quickly stood up in front of her, his guilty demeanor
unconcealed. He stammered, “M–Ms. Thornton… What brings you here?”
Edie took another few steps forward and heard some ambiguous moans coming from the lounge. She let out a cold laugh. “Am I interrupting something?”
Ebenezer looked embarrassed and did not dare to respond.
However, the conversation coming from the two people in the lounge who were indulging in each other had already made it unnecessary for Ebenezer to explain anything to Edie.
“Sebastian, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I would have had to serve that vegetative state guy for the rest of my life.”
“No problem. The engagement was supposed to be Edie’s in the first place.”
Eliza said as she acted cute, “My parents forced me into the engagement with Carl to connect with the Brooks family. My heart has always belonged to you. You won’t blame me, will you?”
“Of course not. I know you had your difficulties. I feel sorry for you.”
“I knew you would be best to me.” Eliza smiled.
“Say something sweet to me.”
“Let’s do it again, Sebastian.”
Edie waited patiently for them to finish once, but she didn’t have much time for their
second–time sex.
Before she could quickly head to the lounge, Ebenezer tried to stop her. “Ms. Thornton,
you…”
Edie patted his shoulder: “I’m here to catch the best actor cheating. Don’t block my way. Decide whether you want to save some dignity for Sebastian or plan tomorrow’s trending search in advance. How does the title ‘The best actor caught in adultery‘
sound?”
Ebenezer knew Edie was capable of doing such a thing and cowered, not daring to stop her anymore.

Chapter 4 The Best Actor Boyfriend
Edie started recording with her phone, kicked open the lounge door, and after the screams from inside, slightly tilted her head, revealing her smiling face from behind the phone. She said gently, “Hey, our best stars, do you want to strike a more photogenic pose?”
