A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 62

Everyone got busy with chopping and skewering the ingredients. There were also two long tables to house all of them.

Demi, Chad, Maria, and George shared a table, while Thomas, Ana, Nigel, and Wendy shared another.

While Demi's table was bustling and lively, Thomas' table was comparatively quiet.

Nigel and Wendy actively conversed with the Pitt siblings to break the ice.

After skewering the ingredients, Chad and George started the fire and grilled the food. Although cooking wasn't their expertise, they at least knew how to barbecue.

The aroma of grilled food started filling the air.

Maria leaned toward Demi and whispered something into her ear before looking at her.

"Sure. I'm the one who has grudges with them. You guys have nothing to do with them. You may do whatever you want." Demi lightly nodded.

Then, Maria leaned toward Chad and George and whispered something. Afterward, the two brought some food skewers and walked toward Nigel and Thomas' table.

"Here, Mr. Yale. Here's the food we prepared. Please try it with Mrs. Yale," George said.

"Mr. Pitt, these are the food we've prepared. Please give it a taste with Ms. Pitt," Chad said.

"Thank you very much!" Nigel humbly accepted the skewers before giving some of his in return.

"Thanks." Although Thomas felt awkward, he accepted their offer and shared some of his own.

The netizens started speculating in the live chat.

"I wonder what grudge Demi has with the Pitt siblings?"

"It's probably something like the big shot actress bullying her assistant. Nothing new."

"Please don't spout nonsense if you don't have solid truth. Annie is very kind-hearted, okay?"

"I'm not supporting anyone here, but do you remember when Demi yanked her necklace off Ana's neck in the last episode? I was wondering back then if Ana had stolen Demi's necklace."

"Quit joking! That necklace looks like it only costs about 30 dollars. Annie comes from a wealthy, aristocratic family, and she's the hottest celebrity! Why would she care about a cheap necklace?"

"But some people won't care about the price if they want to steal from others. In other words, she's probably mean."

"And not to mention those who said she snatched roles! I never heard someone would snatch the role as an evil side character!"

"Apparently, Demi snatched the protagonist role for the new movie by Director Hanh from Annie. The news is all around the web!"

"How did she even snatch it? Ana is the hottest celebrity and an aristocrat, while Demi has zero authority. How could she even be a match for Ana?"

"Perhaps she has other ways to do it?"

"Jeez, someone sure is devilish!"

…

While a fight broke out in the live chat, Demi and the others were having a great time with their meal.

"I also believe Ms. Demi isn't as they said. We should find a way to look into the truth and help her clear her name," Benedict said with furrowed brows.

"I'll let Mr. Harrington know about this, Mr. West Senior. The Harrington family owns an entertainment company. They should be more familiar with this," Sean quickly replied.

Benedict nodded before suggesting, "By the way, Sean, how about we have a barbecue tonight?"
