Jessica changed her mind. 'Adela was always the queen of finding a sugar daddy.' Now Adam couldn't help her much, so Adela began to curry favor with another man.Deputy Director Jameson whispered something in Adela's ear. Adela nodded cutely and turned to Jessica, "I'll leave first, and I look forward to your wonderful show!" "Why did she come?" Gail rushed over. Seeing Jessica frowning in a daze, Gail comforted her, "Don't take it personally. That b*tch just wants to irritate you."Jessica nodded. She was not angry. "Gail, you need to go backstage, notify the crew to check all the safety precautions carefully and then confirm the alternative plan again.""What's wrong? What are you worried about?""I am not sure. But Adela's smile makes me worried. I think it's better to double check."Gail was about to leave when Jessica held her, "One more thing.""Change Paige's position to the front..."At eight p.m.The press conference started on time.Jessica stood in the middle of
Jessica was surprised.‘Me? But I was not told about this before…’The product manager smiled faintly and gestured for her to stand beside him. Jessica quickly calmed down and calmly cooperated with the product manager to say hello to the audience.But just as the product manager was about to project the product onto the big screen, the lights suddenly went out. The hall was plunged into darkness instantly."What's going on?"The product manager held the luminous machine. Jessica saw his pale face against the faint light.She reached out and turned around the machine that was pointed at the product manager's chin.The audience instantly panicked.Everyone thought something had happened. They forgot their manners and whispered. Some even suggested running away along the emergency passage."The power is out. Don’t panic. We are prepared."Jessica reassured the product manager. She then took the machine from him and turned it towards Gail standing offstage. When seeing Gail maki
Jessica heard Gail grumbling by the stage at her feet.She also clenched fists secretly. It seemed that Adela thought Jessica was not easy to deal with, so she turned to vent her anger on Jessica's holographic projection!The product manager was also a bit embarrassed.After all, he promised just now, and Adela just wanted to test Sunny's motor skills. It was unreasonable to stop her right now...Jessica blinked slightly, and a cold light appeared in her clear eyes. Even if it was just her projection that tied Adela's shoelaces, Jessica couldn't accept it...At this moment, there was a crisp sound.Everyone looked at the sound source behind.The gate of the venue opened. A tall man stood in the passage, with his back to the bright light.He was wearing a blue and white gown with his hair tied up. His dashing eyebrows, the fluttering gown in the wind, and his perfect figure were so captivating when he stood between light ad shade. Someone whispered, "...is that Wade Maddox?"
‘We are now on stage and this is a live broadcast!'‘Does Christian think we are in his bedroom? Why is he kissing me so passionately?’Jessica came back to her senses soon and pushed the man in front of her away. She composed herself and touched her hot lips. Christian kissed her too hard...The perfect ending just now impressed everyone. After a brief silence, the applause burst out.Adela sat down with depression. Her request just now was drowned in the endless applause.Two seats away from Adela, Paige showed a disdainful look. She took a look at a video she had posted in advance on her phone and smiled maliciously...The product manager said excitedly, "Thanks. Thank Wade and Sunny for the amazing dance!"Everyone thought that the man on the stage was the spokesperson, Wade Maddox.Only Jessica could tell that he was Christian.Wade didn't look so mature and have such an aura of authority.Christian took Jessica's hand in applause and walked from the sub-stage to the cen
Jessica took out her phone and sent Gail a voice message. "The sabotage may be related to Adela. Ask them to keep an eye on her while investigating.""Miss Bush, thanks to your quick response!" A man said behind her.Jessica turned around. It was the product manager."You're welcome. It's my duty as a host."Then she thought of something and asked, "We had many rehearsals. Why didn't you tell me the prototype of the holographic projection was me?" The product manager smiled apologetically, "Mr. Maddox asked me to keep it as a secret."‘Christian... was indeed meticulous...’Maddox Group's AI products attracted the present guests' attention successfully. The product manager left as soon as he thanked Jessica. The other employees of Maddox Group were also surrounded by a lot of people to answer questions.The other people were leaving orderly. Suddenly, the good atmosphere was destroyed by a woman's scream."Adela Black!""You're a shameless b*tch!"Before all the people reac
Jessica went downstairs for brunch and found it was very quiet.The housekeeper said that Christian went to the company early in the morning, and Madam Maddox also went out early in the morning and hadn't returned yet.Madam Maddox was in the old mansion of the Maddox family right now.Christian's grandfather used to live here. But Christian's grandparents had been living abroad for the recent years, and no one lived at the old mansion most of the time.Recently, Madam Maddox heard that they had returned from abroad. After the death of Christian's father, Madam Maddox remarried abroad; she never went back to the old house every time she returned to the country. This time, she paid a visit there. Granny Maddox asked her about her two grandsons' marriage, and Madam Maddox proudly said, "Don't worry, Christian has a very nice girlfriend.""Girlfriend?"Granny Maddox’s eyes lit up. "The women around Christian are all from snobbish families. I don't think they deserve Christian... Wel
The man standing in front of Jessica was tall.But he was fat and jowly. His chin even seemed to be stuck in the collar of his shirt, which made him look a bit comical.The man was obviously excited. He did not expect to meet Jessica here. "I'm Daniel Lord. We met at a wine party before. I remember you. Do you remember me?"The man leaned his fat face forward with enthusiasm. Jessica dodged him in a hurry.The waiter served the food. Daniel did not even glance at the food. He fixed his gaze on Jessica’s face and impatiently waved his hand at the waiter."Miss Bush, you wore a white cheongsam at the party that day and looked very beautiful. I even dreamed of you wearing that dress later. Haha.”Seeing Daniel drool over her with a smile, Jessica felt a little disgusted.At the same time, it was the first time that she had been disappointed with Granny Maddox’s taste.This guy was not ugly?He was outstanding and silent?"Then you might as well buy that dress and admire it at ho
"Jess, did you miss me?"Adam smiled meaningfully, making the space where the four men were a little gloomy.Daniel gave him a cold stare, not wanting to pay attention to Adam.After the last time they were denounced by the whole nation on the Internet, Adam and the Smith Group were still a joke in the upper class.Adam ignored him and turned to look at Jessica, "Mr. Lord, are you on a blind date with my ex-girlfriend?""What's wrong with her being your ex-girlfriend? I don't care!" Daniel straightened his back.Adam sneered, "She is so beautiful. Not only you don't care, no one else does either. Even I've been missing her a lot lately."Jessica felt a little sick and looked away."Do you know what I miss about her? Adam continued, "I miss her every night..."Jessica frowned and glared at Adam.Yet he ignored her warning and turned to look at Daniel, "Jess didn't have any other preferences, and she just liked to play some little games!"Daniel shuddered and took a step backw
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
