Jessica won a perfect victory in Bazaar Charity Night. The next morning, she went to the TV station.Although Griffin was dissatisfied with Jessica's leave for no reason, he didn't say anything on the surface because he knew she was Christian's wife. Besides, she had just made a hit. At first, she was belittled and was at rock bottom. Then she was exalted to the skies. Her clout was also the clout of the TV station's programs. The TV station would benefit from her essentially. Thus, as the director of the TV station, he couldn't blame her.Jessica went to the director's office to greet Griffin casually. Then she planned to go to Hammer's office. She would like to tell the TV station colleagues who were waiting to see the situation secretly that she still chose to support Hammer even though now he was not the top male host in the TV station as before...Along the way, two scenarist-directors and one assistant followed behind Paige. She acted as if she was the top female host.When
"I don't know. A moment ago the director's assistant went to your office to inform you, but you weren't in, so I figured you must be in Hammer's office," Gail replied.Jessica said to Hammer with a hand gesture, "I gotta go."When they were out of Hammer's office, Gail affectionately twined her arm around Jessica's and said, "Let me take a good look at you. I've missed you so much in the past three weeks! You've indeed lost some weight!"She had undergone two major operations in a row. It would be weird if she had not lost any weight."I was expecting to be complimented on my curvier figure!" Jessica said jokingly.Gail rolled her eyes at Jessica and said concernedly in a low voice, "You must not shed any more pounds. You're still recovering, which means you need to be extra careful!""I know.""Well, Mr. Maddox has been feeding you foie gras and caviar every day. What's the point of me worrying about you?" Gail giggled. "By the way, you chewed Paige out just now, and everybody
Jessica returned to her office to find Gail waiting for her with a cup of coffee in her hand."What did he say?""He wants me to emcee the press conference the Maddox Group's product division is holding tomorrow," Jessica answered. "He sounded like he's offering it to me on his own account, but I think it's probably because the Maddox Group asked for me."Gail beamed, "So our director attempted to trick you into believing you owed him a favor?"After a pause, she asked, "I was checking the online opinions just now. Mary's talent agency is making its move. They're seeking every means possible to whitewash her actions. Do you have any other plans?""I do."Jessica nodded. She needed to have those unfavorable remarks simmer long enough to deal her opponent a real blow.Now her first priority was to launch a counterattack on Mary with all her strength. She had to help Alice retrieve what was rightfully hers so that the latter would be able to assist Hammer, and then everything would
Only after half an hour, Mary's fans could hardly sit still.They started fighting back against Jessica's fans "J" online.[How dare you say that Mary is ungrateful?][Mary has been hardworking all the time. She relies on her own efforts and gets what she has now!][Although Jessica has helped Mary indeed, Mary has never denied it. Every time Mary is questioned on the interviews, she always says that she thanks Jessica very much. Is that not enough? What do you want?][Jessica just has help Mary once. It's annoying that Jessica mentions it again and again as if Mary asked for help from her at that time!][You should have got used to it. Isn't Jessica always like that? She hypes without limits!][...]Jessica coldly looked at how Mary's fans fought back. Jessica looked up and said to Gail, "Mary's fans are more impatient than I expected. They start fighting back only in half an hour. They save money for Wasin Group's public relation group virtually."Gail burst into laughter, "
"Quincy?Gail did a double take. "I think he does! He addresses you as Jess, and he implicatively requests you to put in a good word for him on camera more often than not. Didn't you say he offered you help when Harrison schemed against you the other day? Although he never confessed his feelings, I'm positive he does have a sneaking affection for you, seeing as how he looks like an overage schoolboy..."Looking at the expression of mixed feelings on Jessica's face, Gail knitted her wavy eyebrows and asked, "Why are you suddenly so interested in Quincy?""It's nothing."Jessica shook her head and dismissed the image of Quincy's face from her mind."You were never a narcissist," observed Gail, still curious.Smiling, Jessica changed the subject. "Quincy is in no fit state to stay involved in the filming. With whom does the producer want to substitute him?""I have no idea," Gail said, her attention successfully distracted. "But you may ask Hazel. The company she works for is super
The next afternoon, Jessica arrived early at Hilton Edifice to prepare for the launch event of the Product Division of Maddox Group.Her cell phone rang. It was Christian calling. She picked it up. "Mr. Maddox, what can I do for you?""Where are you?""I'm working for you at Hilton Edifice," she joked."Okay," Christian said in a low voice, "I'll come over.""What? Do you really need to attend such a small launch event?" She was surprised."It’s on my way."Christian hung up the phone. No matter how small a launch event was, Jessica would add a lot of weight to it as the host.Mary was walking out after promoting a brand in Hilton Edifice. She suddenly saw a tall man coming with a row of subordinates walking behind him. This man exuded a powerful aura.She paused. The next moment, she immediately turned to walk up to him.He walked upright in strides while listening to the report of his subordinates behind him. When he lowered his head for a second, a woman suddenly bumped in
"Mary, are you crazy?"Benson was about to say something else. Mary looked back and said strongly, "Even if I can't get any money, I still want to get the endorsement. I have made a lot of money for you this year. I only have one request. I don't ask for money. You will win it for me, right?"Benson blinked resignedly, kept silent and followed Mary to walk forward.When Christian arrived at the products press conference, the conference was almost over.Originally, the atmosphere was boring. Christian's arrival brought a new highlight. The reporters took turns to ask questions. The enthusiasm of the product department employees ran high.'Mr. Maddox comes here because Mrs. Maddox is the host. We'd better have a good relationship with the TV station and invite Mrs. Maddox to be the host for all the products press conferences in the future. If so, it won't be difficult for us to attract attention for the products...'Mary and Benson sat behind the reporters' rest area. Mary wore a h
"Watch your mouth!"Benson saw that reporters starting taking photos and became nervous. He widened his eyes and played the fool. "Jessica, Mary has regarded you as her friend all the time. How can you frame her? Are you too nervous after being framed by others?""Have I ever said that you framed me?" Jessica seized on a flaw in his argument. "Anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that you have a guilty conscience!"The surrounding reporters became excited!It was big news!Jessica and Mary had a bad relationship! Mary wanted to ruin Jessica secretly! Jessica fought back in public! If all of these were true, the news would be trending topics!The media became excited and asked, "Jessica, is it true? Did Mary spread the rumors that you were pregnant and waiting for delivery abroad?""Don't you have a good relationship with Mary all the time? You recommended her to the director of her first well-known work The Splendid Dynasty!""Mary, is it true?""..."Mary pushed her s
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
