Sherry stood there, dumbfounded. She was in disbelief. Sherry was the star of the local network, the woman of countless men’s dreams. Yet, she was not worth the mention to the chairman of Perfect World Group. That was not the only thing. She was trash who did not deserve to meet the chairman. Sherry had no idea she was merely paying the price for her decision. When she used her body as a weapon to climb her way to the top, she had cut off her path to join higher society. No man was foolish. Sherry was a woman to have fun with, not someone men would take home to make their wife. Her future husband would not be better than a naïve member of the nouveau riche. As reality sunk in, Sherry said exasperatedly, “What’s so great about your lame chairman anyway? “The nerve of him to make such a vile comment about me. I’ll have my friends in the media to dig out dirt on him. “Perfect World Group will have to pay for his crimes. “Karma’s a bitch!” Losing her cool, Sherry
Soon, the media in the South River State reported on Kaze in great detail. After the warning from Ray, Sherry did not target Hudson Investment Firm, a subsidiary of Perfect World Group. The news report downplayed Kaze’s relationship with Hudson Investment Firm and focused on his affair with Winnie and his usurpation of Shangrila Group. To capture the readers’ attention, Sherry revealed another dirt. Agnes’ medical mishap which led to a girl’s fatal death was rolled out once more. For that reason, Agnes would not even leave the house. A crowd stalked outside Skylar View District, demanding justice for the victim’s family. Agatha had been in touch with the Otters to put in the good word for Agnes. She hoped the Otters would accept Agnes back into their lives again. Following the news report, the Otters would not even take calls from Agatha anymore. It was as if they disappeared off the face of the earth. Various media outlets even wrote that Agnes was disowned by the Ot
Roland and the employee were taken aback. The mayor mentioning Sherry suggested the mayor must have a strong impression of her.Maybe the mayor was interested in her. Mindful of the mayor’s needs, Roland tipped the employee the wink. The employee asked probingly, “Do you want to meet with her personally? Should we arrange a meeting?” “Take the candidates to the reception area. I will meet with them later.” Kaze waved his arm. “Let Sherry from the local network wait.” … “So the mayor wants to meet me alone later?” When Roland conveyed the message to Sherry, she made a sultry expression. She got the wrong idea, thinking she was different from others to secure a private meeting with Kaze. “Maybe the interview broadcast on a bigger platform made the mayor notice me. He might like what he saw. “That would explain why he wants to meet me alone while the others have to meet him altogether.” When one door closed, a window opened. She might have encountered a dead en
Sherry was delighted because she knew Moses was right. She said, “But I don’t want to let the mayor win me so easily. “He won’t appreciate me if I am easy. “I want to be his secretary to build a bond. “You need to help me, Daddy. Come with me to meet the mayor and recommend me to be his secretary.” It had always been Sherry’s dream to marry for money. She could get what she wanted with her body, but the benefits were only temporary. Sherry would fight for any chance to become the new mayor’s wife instead of some shameful lover who could not be shown in public. “You must help me, Daddy. I will return the favor,” Sherry uttered coyly. Moses had been the director of the local network for more than a decade. He was a veteran with extensive connections in the system. Sherry believed the mayor would take Moses’ advice and bring her on board as a secretary. Moses fell into contemplation. Truth be told, Sherry was beautiful, but Moses had enough fun with her as it had b
“You give me a lot of credit, Mr. Hobbs. You run Lee Investment and have the Lees as your ally. Even the media outlets are subservient to you.“I can’t compare to you.” Sherry doubted the phone call from Samson was just to pay her compliments. She asked coyly, “What can I do for you, Mr. Hobbs?” “I was intrigued to learn that you were going after Kaze and his wife,” Samson said with a smile. Sherry was relieved. She knew Samson, representing the Lees, was feuding with Kaze. Danny was somehow linked to Samson too, but Kaze became Danny’s downfall. It was highly likely Samson would take Kaze’s side. With that in mind, Sherry played the victim. “You have no idea what Kaze and his wife did to me, Mr. Hobss. They made me kneel and lick the soles of their shoes. “I’m at war with this couple. “But they are too powerful for me to handle. Even at my best, I can’t destroy them. I hope to get your support, Mr. Hobbs.” Sherry knew Samson had his hands deep in the media. Sam
“Moses has been around the scene for quite some time, and he has worked in the network for many years. He is pretty reputable in the city. Do you want to see him?” Caleb asked with respect. “The director of Lilyrose TV Station?” Without looking up, Kaze replied, “He can enter.” Soon, a middle-aged man with a balding spot cautiously followed Caleb into the office. “Mr. Mayor, this is Mr. McKentucky from Lilyrose TV Station,” Caleb said. Moses realized the new mayor was exactly as rumored when he laid eyes on Kaze. The mayor was younger than he imagined. “Hello, Mr. Mayor. Just call me Moses,” Moses said while drawing close with a nod. Kaze greeted back aloofly and asked, “Caleb said you are briefing me on a business report. Is it related to the award for exemplary journalism?” “Huh?” Though taken aback, Moses quickly replied, “That’s right, Mr. Mayor. Sherry Zauer is the candidate we chose to represent Lilyrose TV Station. She’s the host of the financial channel.“A
“K-Kaze?” Sherry suspected that she was seeing things. She was hallucinating from either overindulgence or fatigue. Sherry did not expect to see Kaze there. The mayor’s office held the core power in the city, and it was also the most prestigious place.Kaze was a loser. The last place he belonged was the mayor’s office. Sherry shook his head and took a couple of steps for a closer look. She was shocked. The man standing behind the desk was indeed Kaze. Sherry was stunned. Thanks to Sherry’s great effort to spread rumors for the past two days, Kaze had become the subject of ridicule and criticism in the city. The way Sherry saw it, Kaze should be holing up at home or considering leaving the city. However, the man stood overtly in the mayor’s office. With her head spinning, Sherry pointed at Kaze and yelled angrily, “What are you doing here, loser? “This is not a place for a vile scumbag like you.” Sherry’s words echoed in the office. Caleb, Moses, and oth
Moses was frightened. Sherry was an idiot to land them both in hot water. It was clear that the mayor was not pleased with the local network. Moses wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said awkwardly, “M-Mr. Mayor, I don’t understand Sherry’s sudden outburst.“Our network has the utmost respect for you. We don’t mean to offend you.” While talking, he glanced at Kaze, who carried a blank face, and kicked Sherry to the ground. Sherry fell on her bottom, her hair ruffled. Moses gave her a couple of boots. “Argh! It hurts, Daddy! Don’t hit me!” Sherry cried out in pain while rolling on the ground. “What are you talking about? I’m not your daddy.” Moses nearly wet his pants. He grabbed a chunk of Sherry’s hair and pulled her up to slap her face repeatedly. “I’m not related to you at all. Don’t act like we’re close.“I’ll kill you if you continue to make false claims.” Moses did not hold back from hitting Sherry. The bad blood between Kaze and Sherry was a
