?Chapter 777: Chapter 510: Why Does She Want to Reward Me? Chapter 777: Chapter 510: Why Does She Want to Reward Me? Fei left the hotel and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he had broken the rule of not becoming deeply involved with married women by 95%, as long as he hadn’t crossed the final line, he could still claim he adhered to it.
After all, he had only made a mistake that many American presidents likely could have made.
But Clinton had redefined the boundaries of sexual relations for all Americans more than a decade ago.
The standard was, as long as the connecting act did not occur, it didn’t count.
If this were a gold standard, then there was nothing between him and Scarlett tonight.
(PS: Yesterday’s chapter was edited)
Thinking this, Fei quickly got into his personal car.
His bodyguard asked, “Did everything go smoothly?”
“Hmm…” Fei chuckled, “Pretty well.”
“Where to now?”
“Back to continue the party.”
For the Supersonics, one of the perks of playing in Los Angeles was that entertainment was never lacking after a game.
Especially after such a major game.
Most of Fei’s teammates had attended the Marvel actors’ party, which was a novel experience for them.
Even though they earned tens of millions of dollars in the NBA, there was still a gap between professional sports and Hollywood, crossed only by a select few.
Fei had now truly become a significant influencer, crossing boundaries was effortless for him, and bringing his teammates to a Hollywood star’s party was just a matter of raising his hand.
Fei’s return to the party surprised many, since he had left with Scarlett, and according to usual habits, it was almost impossible for him to return.
“Frye, how come you’re back?”
Jermaine O’Neal thought he was seeing things.
“Scarlett wasn’t feeling well, so I took her back to the hotel,” Fei said, “Did you think I shouldn’t come back?”
Little O chuckled awkwardly, “Is that so?”
Before Fei returned, everyone at the party had been gossiping about him and Scarlett. The consensus was that even if there had been nothing between them before, something would definitely happen tonight.
To everyone’s surprise, Big Fei had returned.
Kevin Durant was naturally the happiest person.
Seeing Fei leave with Scarlett had felt to Durant like seeing the girl he had a crush on walking away with the class president; although he felt jealous and envious, it didn’t turn into resentment. At most, he felt that Fei’s constant claims of not entangling with married women were double standards.
Just as he had given up, Fei returned.
Durant offered a few perfunctory greetings and then refrained from asking further questions.
People around him continued to talk to Fei about Scarlett.
Fei didn’t change his expression.
However, only Robert Downey Jr. noticed that Fei wasn’t claiming disinterest in married women anymore.
The next day
As the sun rose again, a new day’s updates arrived.
Industries pushed the news to reflect what had happened last night.
Los Angeles is a world of celebrities.
No matter the level or ranking, anyone with aspirations for that glittering world would find a way to burrow into it.
To match celebrities’ vanity, since the 1920s, Los Angeles’s entertainment media industry had become very developed.
As the world’s most powerful paparazzi, they witnessed the rise and fall of generation after generation of Hollywood stars; nothing could escape them.
The news of Fei and Scarlett returning to the hotel together was captured in photos and reported in the newspapers the next day.
The gossip tabloid TMZ, a subsidiary of FOX, reported Fei and Scarlett’s entrance into the hotel using all sorts of suggestive words.
For the gossip-hungry public, this was a bombshell.
Scarlett’s marital troubles were already known nationwide, and Fei was rumored to be the catalyst for her discord with her husband.
Lakers fans were furious that Fei could devastate them in the playoffs while also getting involved with Scarlett.
Next came the job for Fei’s public relations team.
This incident didn’t have a significant impact on Fei personally; he was used to being the subject of tabloid fodder, only now Scarlett was his latest co-star.
As Fei was trending in gossip news, the sports world began its analysis of the Supersonics and Lakers’ first playoff game.
The first to fire was Fei’s mouthpiece at ESPN, Marc Stein.
Stein, one of ESPN’s basketball reporters in charge of coverage, published an article unrelated to news, titled “The Death of the Traitor.”
“Last year at this time, if you walked the streets of Cleveland, you would see many people wearing LeBron James’ jerseys. Now, those jerseys have been burned to ashes. Those who once loved him either hate him now or have turned to embrace Frye. Over the past year, Frye’s number 44 jersey has been the best-selling sports merchandise in Cleveland. It seems strange, why would Clevelanders, hurt by LeBron, support Frye? I think a big part of the reason is that Frye left a team that had just won back-to-back championships to support his hometown team, while LeBron had easily abandoned a team that would’ve given him their hearts for a championship. Frye was drafted by the Cavaliers in 2001, he didn’t play a single game for them, but now, every Clevelander wishes for the traitor to die before him. That’s the significance of last night’s game.”
Media powers within the empire regarded Stein’s article as a signal.
If Stein was doing so, it meant they needed to do the same.
Within a day, major media outlets followed suit, each offering their perspective.
