Two hours before the big show, Ethan noticed a secret deal between Adam and another man…In fact, after Adam was bailed out, his boss instructed him to keep an eye on Adam, fearing that the man might harass Jessica again. This time, Jessica went aboard to perform, and Adam happened to be here. An alarmed Ethan had Adam under close watch.The meticulous assistant later discovered that Adam was striking a deal with Jessica's dance partner backstage and realized how serious the matter was.Then Jessica ventured to borrow Mr. Min's precious design. Unexpectedly, the exquisite design and she brought out the best in each other. The stage effect they sparked was even better than imagined! Ethan blushed instantly, "Madam, I'm flattered. It's my duty!""Come on, you helped me and should be rewarded."His face flushing, Ethan complimented, "Madam, you were amazing on stage. The audience was full of praise, and Mr. Maddox also nodded repeatedly in approval." "Really? Am I that
Jessica and Christian stayed abroad with Madam Maddox for a day before returning home.She had several shows to record while Christian was busy with his business. Neither of them could leave for long.The plane landed, and she got into the car when Gail's report came in, "Jess, my proposal for the talent show of the boy group worked!" "So soon?" Jessica smiled, "Looks like Cain's intelligence only works in shady aspects… He's stupid where he should be smart!" "My friend working with Cain's company told me that they had received the task and started preparing to invite the contestants," Gail sounded excited, "Also, Cain has been very active recently. With his secretary, he meets all kinds of investors. Jess, what is our plan?""You've left the case in Serena's care?" asked Jessica."Yeah, just her.""Let her follow up then. She will definitely resort to delaying tactics. Let her be," Jessica instructed, "We'll do nothing, and Cain is on his own to attract investors."
The result was surprising for everyone.The police rushed to the stage and walked to Cooper who sat at the center. The police said, "Cooper Eddy, I have received a report. Please leave with us to cooperate with the investigation!"Cooper didn't turn off his microphone. What the police had said filled the air in the meeting room! It caused an uproar!The offstage people burst into an uproar!All the people saw Cooper being handcuffed. Cooper didn't say anything to explain. He lowered his head and was led away by police...There was complete anarchy in the meeting room. Tanner calmed down first, comforted all the people and asked them to continue to work and not to delay the work in their hands.However, the people who had witnessed the incident were inefficient.Gail didn't return to her own office. She stayed in Jessica's office. Except for the necessary work for shooting the subsequent programs, there was no development for new work.After an hour, the news about the incident
Cooper was Nathan's uncle. Their families had a close relationship.Nathan was young but he had been promoted in Wasin Group for these past few years. It was not only because he was capable, but also it was because of Cooper's social relationships and influence.Suddenly, Cooper was in trouble and Nathan had been involved. Soon, Wasin Group's share prices fluctuated. The shareholders were worried...Last time, Jessica pulled Cain and Jared down. She supported Nathan to be the president. At that time, some people were unconvinced. Now these people who were unconvinced wouldn't miss the chance!Cooper had been dismissed and was powerless. They wanted to take advantage of it to pull down Nathan who was the president of Wasin Group...Jessica calmed down and said, "I see. Please inform me the time of the meeting."She paused for a while and asked Nathan again, "What's your plan?""It's too sudden. To be honest, I'm not sure about every shareholder's standpoint temporarily, so..."J
"Good!" Jessica agreed readily. Benson came closer and looked at her. "Although you've been vying fiercely with Mary for resources, I have this feeling that you two appreciate each other."Jessica was about to leave. Upon hearing that, she looked back at Benson and a silent Mary. "I always appreciate her acting skills. It has never changed," she said with a smile.Then she winked at Gail, and the two got in the car.Benson and Mary made way… Benson watched the car leave and frowned. After chewing over her words, he felt upset.Was it a pun? **Jessica had dinner with Nathan.They discussed strategies for the stockholders' meeting. Nathan told her that he had contacted the other shareholders and had done his best to win them over. "Am I the last one on your list?" Jessica teased him.Nathan gave a wry smile, "You know, saving my most trusted for last…""Since you trust me so much, I'll support you regardless of everything. What are you surprised f
"I heard that Wasin Group was forbidden to cooperate with Maddox Group. Why did all the shareholders who founded Wasin Group acquiesce in that rule?" Jessica asked directly.Madam Bush's eyes flickered for a moment. She asked back, "Does Nathan intend to cooperate with Maddox Group?""He's conservative. He won't take the risk if the shareholders are against it," Jessica explained, "so he wanted me to ask you first."Madam Bush pondered for a moment and raised her head, saying, "This is a rule made by your dad and his friends. You’d better not break it.""What exactly is the reason?"Jessica couldn't suppress her curiosity.Too many things had happened in the past six months, many of which linked Maddox Group to her dad's death. She could not help wondering whether her dad had foreseen something when he and his friends founded Wasin Group so that they were determined not to cooperate with Maddox Group.Madam Bush shook her head. "I don't know. I never interfered in your dad's bus
"Jessica, are you still unwilling… to forgive him?"Vanessa minded it and observed Jessica's face.An expressionless Jessica looked back, saying, "Wasin is in trouble. As shareholders, we're here today to solve the problem. Could we put other things aside for now?"When they reached the door of the conference room, the secretary opened it for them. Leading Vanessa in, Jessica took the seat of honor across from the chairman and asked Vanessa to sit beside her.Vanessa observed her. A flicker of amazement flashed across her eyes as she was impressed by Jessica's confident demeanor. "I like your style, Jessica," she blurted out."What style?" Jessica smiled."You're like a queen," Vanessa answered, her eyes glittering."Am I that noble?" Jessica was amused, "You're the real noble one!"Vanessa froze and thought for a while, "I'm a princess at best, and you're a queen.""Well then, my dear princess, keep your head cool, listen carefully to the other shareholders' opinions, an
Originally, Jessica didn't care about Wasin Group's business. This was her first time to listen carefully to Nathan's business plan of Wasin Group.Only then did she know that Nathan was so meticulous. It was beyond her imagination.Maybe he had foreseen that such a thing would happen one day, so he had been prepared and thought of ways for Wasin Group to expand business in the future.The plans, the specific implementation strategies and the expected rewards were all detailed. Nearly every piece of them made the shareholders be silenced.Nathan finished the speech on strategies and plans. It was so excellent! Jessica took the lead to applaud!Vanessa, who was nearby and admired Jessica very much, was also impressed by Nathan. She followed Jessica to applaud. The applause was sparse in the meeting room."Mr. Eddy, your plans are great, but these plans are all long-range. Won't it take a long time for us to see the rewards?" Some shareholders found fault.Before Nathan replied, J
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
