Chapter 1558
Caleb asked, "Is your brother getting married?"
The brother Caleb was referring to was Charles.
Skylar was taken aback. "Getting married?"
She hadn't heard anything about it. Charles had always been firm on his decision not to marry. He didn't even want to get into a relationship, focusing entirely on his work-acting in film after film.
"It seems like it's just another fake news story. It was trending on social media not long ago. The post was like an essay, detailing how Charles met that model and where they are now.
"Anyone who didn't know him would have thought it was true," Caleb said, his lips twitching in disbelief.
The entertainment news these days was completely unreliable.
Skylar rolled her eyes. "It's probably just people trying to use Charles for publicity. Don't take it seriously."
Fake news like this seemed to crop up from time to time. The writers spun stories so convincingly that it almost felt like they were true.
"The rain is relentless. I'm heading to the hotel nearby. Call me if anything comes up tonight," Skylar said as she finished organizing her work. Caleb replied, "Got it."
As Skylar was leaving, Caleb was about to visit Alexander. Just then, Simona called.
"Why the sudden call?" Caleb asked, surprised. Simona had gone overseas for her studies last year, and due to the time difference, they couldn't even call each other for three to four months at a time.
Simona replied, "Do you remember that over two years ago I mentioned that I thought Aiken was in a relationship?"
Caleb thought for a moment. "Yeah, I remember you saying something like that."noveldrama
"And for the past two years, I've been waiting for Aiken to tell me he's dating someone, but he still hasn't said anything. Something doesn't feel right. Do you remember Wendy? I've talked about her with you too," Simona said.
Caleb nodded. "Yeah, I remember."
Wendy was the girl who, along with Simona, had been bullied by a group of terrible people. Her family situation had been heartbreaking.
Later, with the help of Aiken, Wendy managed to escape her difficult home life.
"I suspect they're dating. Aiken just video-called me. Although the camera flickered for a second, I saw
a woman's scarf on the couch. That
scarf is one I gave Wendy-it's a C limited edition, the only one of its
kind that hasn't even been released inJipsburg yet.
"I don't believe it's just a coincidence. I've been chatting with Wendy, asking her why she hasn't been in a relationship these past few years. I always thought it was because of what happened back then, and she couldn't move on.
"But now it's clear-she must be dating Aiken!" Simona sounded like a detective, scrutinizing every detail.
Caleb was taken aback. "They're in a relationship? Haven't you always wanted Aiken to find a wife? You and Wendy know each other, so it would be perfect."
Simona quickly clarified and voiced
her suspicion "No, if they're really together, I'd be happy for them. I know Wendy very well, and she deserves someone great. But He's never publicly

acknowledged her, and I suspect he's just toying with her feelings!"
Caleb frowned. "Aiken isn't like that, is he?"
"You don't know Aiken. He's always been great to family and friends, but when it comes to women, he's never been serious. All the women around him come and go. Sometimes I even think he's a bit of a jerk," Simona said, frustration evident in her voice.
She regretted going abroad to study. If she were still at home, she could've supported Wendy in person.
But now, from far away, she was left to speculate. She knew Wendy wouldn't say anything if she tried to ask directly.
As for Aiken, Simona knew that he would never admit to anything unless she caught him red-handed in the act.
Caleb replied, "So, you called me to help you confirm this, right? Or maybe you want me to hire a private detective? But wait, hiring a detective won't work. Who would dare investigate Aiken?"
Simona chuckled and said, "You're
right. No one in Jipsburg would dare investigate Aiken. But you could go after Wendy. You could get close to her and see what she says. If you' manage to catch a glimpse of Aiken and Wendy together, that'd be perfect. I'd have a real reason to go back home."
"Come one, do you not know me? I'm not the type to pursue people." Caleb immediately declined.
Simona quickly threw out a tempting offer. "Alright, here's the deal. I'll set you up to meet Wendy. You don't even have to actively pursue her. I'll just create opportunities for you two to meet. All you have to do is show up.
"I'll promise you one thing-anything you want from me in the future, I'll do it! Deal?"
Caleb's eyes lit up at the mention of Simona agreeing to do anything he asked. This deal didn't seem like a bad one at all.
