Jessica was in William's office. It was on the top floor of Charm Valley Building.Jessica explained why she had such an idea, "When I heard that Charm Valley Group wanted to make it to the fashion market in the country, I had thought about it. Charm Valley Group has left a high-end impression on people all the time, but the stereotype of the high-end image is unapproachable. As for the fashion industry, more consumers need amiable and affordable products. Vanessa is an adorable girl in private. Her designs are youthful, vigorous and lively. Thus, her designs are not suitable for Charm Valley Group's traditional target market.""Then why haven't you mentioned it before?" William asked."Charm Valley Group has chosen the high-end market for Vanessa's brand and Vanessa has a high status. The high-end market is in accord with her identity and Charm Valley Group's consistent image. It might be an unnecessary move if I brought it up," Jessica told him the truth.William smiled, looked a
Soon, Vanessa called Jessica, "Jessica, I hear from William that we solve the matter this time thanks to your plan. Thank you.""My pleasure. If Wasin Group offends Charm Valley Group, it won't be good for me either.""Jessica, why are you always so modest?" Vanessa said with a smile.Jessica also smiled, "Vanessa, I would like to remind you one thing. Wasin Group cares about the leak very much. Mr. Eddy has arranged for someone to investigate our group thoroughly and hasn't found out any suspicious people... Do you understand my meaning?"Vanessa kept silent for a while on the phone and said, "Do you mean that the manipulator is from Charm Valley Group or someone who stays by my side?""You're right," Jessica replied.Vanessa kept silent again and said, "But I have also investigated it after it happened. I believe that the manipulator is not the person who stays by my side."Although both of them didn't mention the person's name, they knew in their hearts that the person they m
The following evening.Christian drove Jessica and Wade to visit the Baileys.The two families greeted each other. Jessica whispered in Alice's ear. Then Alice asked a servant to turn on the television. The fashion conference of Charm Valley Group was going out live at Jakesville TV Station.Wasin Group needed to change the plan in a short time. The high-end and luxurious style was changed to be the affordable style. Although Vanessa's designs almost needn't be changed a lot, Wasin Group needed to adjust the layout of the scene and models' hairstyle and make-up.Wasin Group only had two days to prepare for it. Jessica was worried.Unexpectedly, the live conference scene looked smooth on television. The models on the runways were calm. The offstage guests admired Vanessa's designs very much."I have heard about the leak."Hammer traveled with his wife and son. Now he had come back and changed his hairstyle. He looked much more relaxed than before. "Although it's breathtaking, it'
"In these two days."Hammer said, "I have asked for leave for too long. It's time for me to return.""Director Cooper has left. It seems that Director Jameson dislikes the people that Director Cooper valued. Be prepared," Jessica reminded.Hammer compressed his lips and nodded to show that he had got it.Jessica and Hammer left the Bailey's.Christian looked at Jessica who sat on the passenger seat. She was worried about something. He asked, "Where would you like to go?"Jessica unfolded her eyebrows suddenly and smiled, "Mr. Maddox, I'm not available tomorrow either. You also heard that Hammer would return to the TV station on Monday. I need to be there at that time. Please allow me to delay our plan...""You have stood me up twice." Christian turned to glance at the frank Jessica."It's not that serious..."Jessica raised her hand and played the woman. "I have come up with the plan to help Hammer. I promise that I'll accompany you to relax in three days..."Christian looked
Paige crossed her arms over her chest arrogantly as if she was the TV station director's wife.After she said so, the people in the meeting room looked at each other.Griffin kept silent. It was obvious that he was supporting Paige!"Then what do you want? Do you want to snatch the program from me?" Hammer frowned.Paige smiled brightly, "I'm not that unreasonable. However, Director Jameson has arranged for me to be in charge of the program, so I will shoot several episodes first. It depends on the audience's feedback whether I need to give it back to you later. The TV station's performance is the most important thing. Do you think so, Hammer?""You're right. Our TV station's interests are more important than personal interests. Your opinion is great!" Griffin looked at Paige with a smile.Seeing that Griffin supported Paige obviously, Hammer's face clouded over.At that time, Jessica said beside them, "Paige is right. We all work hard for the TV station's interests.""Well, Je
The meeting ended.Jessica called Hazel. Hazel was straightforward and wouldn't hide her mood when she was happy or not. Jessica talked with Hazel for a while and got the reply she wanted soon.Jessica didn't waste any time and went to see Hammer directly.She knocked on the door."Come in."Jessica pushed open the door and walked in. She asked baldly, "Hammer, have you invited the guests for your next episode of the variety show?"Hammer roughly guessed the reason why she came here. He shook his head and asked her expectantly, "Would you like to help me?""I didn't come here to help you."Jessica sat opposite and left him hanging. "I have got it done for you.""I have contacted Hazel of WJ Entertainment. She allows Wade and Alice to take part in your variety show and they will hype some clips of the dating show to attract the audience's attention."Jessica said calmly, but Hammer was surprised. "Wade and Alice...?"Alice was his younger sister. It was not surprising that sh
Madam Bush looked calm, but she said less than usual. After all, she was frightened.Jayden and Samuel were at home. They told Jessica what had happened briefly.After they ate breakfast, the servants cleaned each room as usual. Only then did they find that Mr. Bush's study was burgled and was in a mess. The other rooms were intact.The Bushs didn't notice that when the thief sneaked in. Even the police didn't find any traces that the thief had left either. Absolutely, the thief was a veteran...Jessica stood at the door of her father's study. Looking at the mess, she had mixed feelings...After Mr. Bush passed away, Madam Bush ordered the servants to keep everything in the study the same, but now the books that were originally on the bookshelves were scattered here and there on the ground. The things on the drawers were also scattered on the ground..."Before the police arrived, they asked us to keep the scene. We'll tidy it up immediately," the servants said beside Jessica in a
Early the next morning, Christian took Jessica out to travel overseas.Having perceived that she was still worried about Madam Bush, Christian said consolingly, "Don't worry. My granny will bring some bodyguards with her when going overseas.""I see."Actually, it was not her mother's safety that concerned her. She was just apprehensive that the matter of her father's study being burglarized was still troubling her mother's mind."You know very well what kind of person my granny is. I'm positive she'll figure out a way to set your mother's mind at ease," Christian said reassuringly.'He's got a point,' Jessica thought.With Christian's grandmother keeping Madam Bush company, all the latter needed to do was enjoy herself to her heart's content.*Christian, taking his cue from his grandmother, arranged a series of recreational activities for Jessica, ranging from popular ones to classy ones.On the third day of their overseas trip, he took her to an art exhibition.Every one o
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
