"Who do you hate most in the world?"Gail asked mysteriously."I don't hate anyone.""You don't hate Adam and Adela, who betrayed you?" Gail said through gritted teeth.Jessica replied with a smile, "They do not deserve my hatred."Gail raised her eyebrows and gave Jessica a thumb up. "Then go ahead. The visitor in the parlor is the one who won’t let go of you even though you don't hate her."Jessica fluttered her long eyelashes slightly and got prepared mentally.Upon pushing open the door of the parlor, Jessica saw Adela sitting on the sofa. Adela was wrapped up. It seemed that she did not want to be recognized by too many people in the TV station where she had a glittering career previously."Jess, you're finally back."Hearing the door was pushed open, Adela lifted her head with a soft smile.Jessica stood at the door, not intending to enter. "Don't call me that, and don't smile at me. Otherwise, I will start being wary of you subconsciously."Adela stopped smiling with
Jessica sneered.‘Adela, it is so thick-skinned of you to try to build alliances with me! Don’t you notice your words are full of flaws?’When Jessica turned to leave, Adela said in a pleading tone immediately, "Jess, we've known each other for so many years. If I really become a single mother with no job or income, will you be happy?"Jessica took a deep breath, turned around, and took a good look at Adela. Adela was sobbing, but her makeup was not smudged by tears. "I don't know if I will be happy or not, but I really sympathize with the child in your belly...""Don’t you know why you have no job or income? You are not disabled. Why is a single mother doomed to live a miserable life?"Adela simply turned a deaf ear to Jessica’s words. She wiped her tears and said, "Jessica, I must deal with Paige this time. If she cannot get the trophy, someone else will do. If you are willing to make an alliance with me, the trophy is yours!"Jessica shook her head helplessly, "We indeed have
Tanner appeased the two, not wanting to offend neither of them.He was a sophisticate. Although insiders said that Paige had made connections and her chances of winning the Emerging Host were extremely high, until the award was given, anything was still possible.Paige sneered, "Okay! I'll be waiting for a more exquisite poster." With that, she turned around and left.Tanner turned his head to look at Jessica and encouraged, "Jessica, winning awards is one thing, ability and reputation are another. You have to hold on to both!""Deputy Director Tanner, don't worry." Jessica smile put on an artificial smile.When everyone around the table had dispersed, Gail said with concern, "From what Tanner said, he thinks Paige is a sure winner?""The competition is fierce, and there are plenty of capable hosts," Jessica said nonchalantly."Don't belittle yourself," Gail said unhappily. "You deserve to win the award for Emerging Host!""Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?" Jessica l
Seeing that Jessica did not look right, Quincy became more cautious. He looked at the time and said with uncertainty, "It's probably more than ten minutes."Quincy came here with his friends, and Harrison came later than they did. Quincy saw him as soon as he walked in the door.But he had previously replaced Harrison in the cast, so he didn't go up and say hello to him.Later he saw Harrison put something in the drink that the waiter brought. He felt suspicious, so he paid attention...Jessica frowned.Quincy realized that something was wrong and asked, "Jessica, have you already drunk it?"Jessica didn't deny it."Then should I..." Quincy looked anxious.Jessica raised her hand to interrupt him, "It's okay. I don't feel any discomfort right now...She thought about it, said something to Quincy, and walked back. Then she put the phone on the table and sat down.Harrison was waiting anxiously. When he saw Jessica come back, he hurriedly put down his phone and smiled happily.
In the corner.Someone was quickly taking pictures--Harrison helped Jessica, "I'll drive you back."Jessica was indeed dizzy, but she made a more exaggerated gesture, with her eyes closed, "My car is over there. Just drive my car."Helping Jessica into the car, Harrison got into the driver's seat. He was about to start the car when Jessica reached out to stop him, "Wait.""Wait for what?" Harrison wondered."There is one more person." Jessica continued to pretend to be dizzy.Before Harrison could understand what was going on, there was a knock on the window.He lowered the window, only to see Quincy, and he was even more confused, "...?"Quincy ignored Harrison's surprise, pulled open the car door, and said forcefully, "You get out of the car! I'll drive Jessica back.""Who are you!"Harrison reacted then and instantly lost his temper."Harrison, we used to be schoolmates. I will remind you for the last time that not all compromises can save everything. Is it really worth
"You have made yourself hurt. How are you going to make a move?"Christian frowned. Jessica often pissed him off. But she had a special ability: to make him unable to lose his temper with her.In front of her, he could only say something jealous and vent his anger a little.Jessica was texting on her phone. When the text was successfully sent, she put the phone down with satisfaction.She pouted, "Tigresses have to be diligent in preying. If it doesn’t even have any hair left, it’ll be eaten soon if it is not alert enough."Christian sat down beside her discontentedly and looked her up and down. On his way here, the doctor at Boen Hospital had given him a detailed report on her physical condition.Seeing that she was fine except for a bit sluggish, he also put his mind at ease, "Preying is about quality, not quantity. You have to weigh the pros and cons, identify the conspiracy, and beware of acting impulsively. The hunter is behind!"At this time, her phone rang.Jessica looke
Soon it came to the day to present the Best Hosts award. Jessica would walk down the aisle accompanied by Gail. After they got in the car, Gail asked Jessica, “Harrison is such an idiot... to have told you everything about Flora. Tut-tut. It’s hard to tell who is stupider in this couple!”Jessica nodded. “They are equally stupid! Harrison sent me messages afterwards to question me why I recorded our conversation secretly.”“He sounds like a moron!”“Flora must have gone ballistic. She might break up with him. Harrison was such a fool!”Gail pursed her lips. “Flora is now out of favor. Shouldn't she keep Harrison tight? He loves her so much. Would she break up with him?”“Maybe for Flora, she would break up with Harrison exactly because she lost popularity.” Jessica considered, “In her mind, now she is out of favor, so her last chance is to get married to a rich man.”Gail rolled her eyes. She roasted, "Would Flora dream of turning the tide? In my opinion, you should reveal a
"Do you mean that Paige united with Deputy Director Jameson and bribed the judges of Best Hosts committee, right?"The interview was broadcast live. The reporter had his back to the camera and Adela faced the camera."It's not accurate."Adela thought that she was doing the right thing and looked fearless. "Paige didn't unite with him. To be exact, she bewitched him!"A lot of comments appeared on the screen because of what Adela had said.Adela hadn't showed up to stir up trouble for a long time. Unexpectedly, she announced such a piece of breaking news as soon as she showed up!Paige, who sat in the front row, was shocked by Adela and at a loss.The reporter asked again, "Miss Black, do you have any evidence to say so?”"I'm the evidence!"Adela was confident. "I have got her chat records about how she bewitched Deputy Director Jameson. However, I was trapped at home this morning and they took away my phone. Someone wants me to shut up, but I have to speak it out!""So don'
The next day, Jessica went to work in the TV station. Her assistant reported the recent schedule to her.Jessica listened for a while, raised her head and asked, "Didn't you say that I needed to prepare for Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve next week?"The assistant said in a hurry, "It occurs to me... It may be changed. We'd better delay the preparation in case you will prepare for it in vain...""What's the matter?" Jessica frowned slightly."I have arranged for someone to investigate and haven't gotten the exact news yet. It is said that the organizers of Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve have changed their minds and will invite Adela to replace you...," the assistant said."Adela?"Gail was drinking coffee and writing the plan in Jessica's office. When Gail heard that, she stood up and said anxiously, "Adela has just made a comeback. Even though she becomes popular slightly, how can she replace Jess in the image or influence?""It is said that Adela's remuner
[It's because I think my acting skills are not worthy of your script.]Jessica replied seriously.Hawley became anxious and replied without punctuation. [Don't worry I will try my best to help you and won't urge you]Jessica paused and replied with a smile. [I haven't finished speaking. Hold on. Since you have waited for a long time, please give me some time if you don't mind. I would like to find an acting teacher and learn how to act. After I'm sure that I can play the role, I will join in your movie. How is it?]Recently, more films and TV dramas started inviting Jessica. Many of them had great investments and groups. Jessica obviously felt that the current situation was pushing her to change.It was impossible for her to reject all of them, but she couldn't shoot all the films or TV dramas with the attitude as if she was doing a guest appearance. She would better be prepared before she met the chances. If so, she would be more confident.Hawley paused. It took him some time t
The next afternoon, when it was time for Jessica to get off work, Hawley arrived at the appointed time.Jessica took him to the nearest restaurant to the TV station. She said with a smile, "It's not a high-end restaurant. Just order expensive dishes."Hawley also smiled, "Expensive dishes do not necessarily taste good!""Having said that, I would like to thank you. Expensive dishes can show my sincerity at least," Jessica said.Hawley put down the menu, looked at her and said seriously, "If you would like to thank me, how about consider my invitation seriously? I want to invite you to be the heroine in my first movie!"Hawley was sincere. He looked passionate and vigorous for his first movie. It was hard for Jessica to refuse."Have you drawn your inspiration in France?" She didn't refuse him directly but changed the topic.Hawley said seriously, "I have spent three years on the script. When I studied abroad, I wrote it with my best friend. I almost finish it recently. I believe
Griffin kept his promise.The next day after Jessica's return, Jakesville TV Station put the interview of GL's successor, Neil, on the air. Meanwhile, everyone received the email that announced Gail's promotion to senior editor.The directors in their team were all delighted. People from their sister teams also urged Gail to treat them to dinner. Gail agreed generously and decided to throw a party to celebrate her promotion in the evening. *After several rounds of wine, Gail was giddy with delight and tipsy. With a goblet in her hand, she sat beside Jessica and grinned. "Jess, I owe my promotion to you. I've racked my brains but still know not how to express my gratitude… How about I leave my paycheck to you?" Jessica couldn't help but giggle.She poked Gail's forehead. "Are you going to marry me?""Look, this is all that I can give. Then again, you're not short of money. Tell me what I should do."Jessica looked at Gail's tender, pursed lips and wrapped her arm around
At sea, the anxious Christian calmed down and was relieved finally. He took off his coat and wrapped her up tightly.She looked at him and asked, "Why did you come here?"Christian compressed his thin lips and reached out to smooth her hair beside her ears. It was a little messy because of the wind.Christian had arranged for someone to protect her since she pissed off GL's Neil in France. The nobles all knew that GL's Neil was malicious, especially for beautiful women.As soon as Christian's men reported to Christian that Jessica suddenly bought an air ticket and went abroad alone, Christian guessed that she was going to deal with Neil.Christian was afraid that Jessica would be unable to deal with Neil. He didn't have any time to care about other things and followed Jessica to come to France.Luckily, he arrived in time. Otherwise, even if Jessica dealt with Neil, she would be unable to deal with Jerome. Jerome was not a man to be trifled with."Don't take risks again! If you
As Jerome confronted him coldly, Christian's narrowed eyes slid out of focus for a second.Soon, he collected himself, and ferocity suppressed the gloom in his eyes. "Before I figure out the entire thing, I'll keep her out of harm's way! Even if someone tells her the truth one day, it has to be me and not you! You'd better stay away from her!" Jerome's face also turned gloomy. "I was not interested in her or those trivial matters in the past, but destiny guided me to meet her. Then I find that those matters are pretty interesting…And the more annoyed you are, the more interesting I find it… Besides, you stole my lines. The one who should stay away from her is you!" "Don't bother. This is between my wife and me," Christian declared his sovereignty once again.Jerome looked askance at Christian. His gloomy voice became huskier and more horrifying. "If she knew the truth, do you think she would still believe you?"Christian knitted his brows as he exhorted in a
"Christian?"Jessica spun around and did a double take, mixed delight and incredulity in her eyes.Christian made his way to her and took her by the hand. "You're still recovering. How could you run around like this?"Christian's voice was steely. Though he was speaking to Jessica, it was the man opposite her that his piercing eyes flashed at.At this moment, the bodyguards outside the cabin hurried inside all at once. One of them bowed to Jerome and explained apologetically, "Mr. Garan, he's brought some men here... We failed to stop them..."Jerome waved his hand testily and, restraining his annoyance, rose to his feet and looked at Christian. "Nice to see you again, Mr. Maddox." Though his words were a greeting, his face were rather tight."I heard only a few days ago that there's some turbulence going on in the Garan family. It surprises me Mr. Garan is still in the mood for partying," Christian said acidly."Oh, you're pretty well-informed, Mr. Maddox!" Jerome remarked with
"I'm just a nobody, and all I want is for the job to be done in a peaceful fashion. I have no reason to work against you on my own initiative unless you leave me no choice, don't you think?" Jessica said, her face bland.Having no alternative but to resign himself to accepting it, Neil said testily, "Fine! Get it over with!"A smile curled Jessica's lips as her beautiful eyes moved to the outline for the interview on the sofa. "Speak according to the outline and answer my every question. Here we go."Watching Neil obediently pick up the interview outline with resentment etched on his face, Jessica snickered and turned on her digital recorder.**Twenty minutes later, the interview came to a successful end.Having obtained what she wanted, Jessica operated the digital recorder for a moment and then stowed it in her handbag.Neil had had enough of it. He hurled the interview outline she'd given him to the floor and, springing to his feet testily, blustered, "I see any of those pho
Neil's eyes glittered with alarm at the sight of the picture on Jessica's phone, the corners of his mouth twitching in spite of himself.On the sofa he'd been sitting a moment ago sat a couple of female models. Neil glared over his left shoulder and then the right one at the girls and thundered, "Beat it!""Neil..."A charming girl, unwilling to leave, walked over and, holding his hand, said, "Where do you want us to go?""Get out of my sight! Now!" Neil stormed shiftily.His bawl brought all the girls trotting out helter-skelter...Jessica, taking advantage of the opportunity, took back her phone and unhurriedly put it into her handbag in the presence of Neil."Let's go somewhere else to talk," Neil said to Jessica, rising to his feet and leading the way for the door.Jessica remained where she was. With a smile that never reached her eyes, she said, "I thought you liked the lively atmosphere in this place."The corners of Neil's mouth twitched and he snapped, "It's not every
