One of the female employees nervously picked up her phone, opened her Instagram app, and handed it to Melanie. She was cautious, as if confessing her own guilt. "Miss Melanie, I followed Vivian on Instagram when I coordinated her advertisement shoot the last time..." Everyone knew Melanie and Vivian had a fight when shooting an advertisement last time, so the female employees feared offending Melanie. However, Melanie didn’t mind. Her eyes were fixed on the phone. In Vivian's latest post, she wrote, [Another long night saved by face masks…] In the comments, Quincy expressed his concern. [If you can, get some rest. Take care of yourself.] The tone he used made it feel like the two of them were more than just acquaintances. Melanie blinked and suddenly recalled a time when she was in Quincy's car. His phone rang, and the screen displayed a contact named "Vivi." Could that person have been Vivian? "Thank you." Melanie locked the phone and returned it to the female employee
Twenty minutes later, an impromptu board meeting was convened. Being bold in a twisted way, Quincy admitted on the spot that everything was his doing. He even provided detailed information on how he leaked the information. The other shareholders present immediately turned their blame toward Quincy's father. "Mr. Quicksilver, you’re too unscrupulous! Why did you do this? You caused us to suffer a loss!” "Even if you used to work closely with Daniel, look at Daniel's current state! Why would you still choose to stand with him?" Everyone voiced their condemnation, and Mr. Quicksilver was furious. He pointed at Quincy and berated, "You ungrateful child! Were you threatened by someone? How could you do such a foolish thing? Did someone force you to take the blame? Speak!" Feeling that she was being indirectly criticized, Melanie calmly sneered, "Mr. Quicksilver, I can't figure out how creating trouble for him benefits me or the perfume department of Jones Enterprise. Do you think
Quincy returned to his office, surprised that the company didn’t instruct anyone to continue to keep an eye on him. Recalling the scene at the board meeting where all the shareholders targeted his family because of him and thinking about his father's anger, he felt uneasy. He went online to check the current situation, and it turned out to be more severe than he had imagined. Even at this stage, Melanie didn’t humiliate him. Her behavior made him feel even more uncomfortable. Just as he was picking up his phone, hesitating whether to call Vivian or not, Melanie knocked on the door. Feeling nervous, he quickly put down his phone. Melanie entered, her expression calm. "I'm here to let you listen to a recording. Do you remember a few days ago when I was falsely accused of having a chaotic private life at Twilight Mansion?" Quincy nodded. The incident had caused quite a stir. Melanie had responded promptly and effectively, proving that it was a plot by the Wilhelm family. It
After a long time, Vivian finally answered the phone. "What's up, Quincy?" "Vivian, you promised not to go astray, but now, Jones Enterprise is almost ruined because of you. I know you’re angry because they deleted your scenes and want to get back at them, but you shouldn’t have pushed them to a dead end," Quincy said. "Jones Enterprise can't even withstand such a small negative incident. Doesn't that just prove that they're not that great themselves?" Vivian just finished her live stream, and several beauty products she endorsed were selling well. She spoke smugly. "They already know it's me who did it." Quincy sighed, revealing everything to Vivian without reservation. "What?" Vivian became agitated. "Did you tell them it's me?" Quincy furrowed his brows and lowered his voice. "No." "Oh, I didn't mean that... Are you okay?" Vivian sensed Quincy's discomfort and quickly tried to smooth things over. Quincy initially wanted to tell her that his family could no longer sta
In the past two years, Jones Enterprise had been looking to expand its production capacity. They needed a new factory, especially since the perfume department had launched a new product line. Eliza had been eyeing a piece of land right next to the existing Jones Enterprise factory, but the land had not been released for sale. A month ago, the Land Management Bureau issued an announcement, saying that the land was up for auction. Jones Enterprise seized this opportunity to submit the required documents for bidding. However, the bureau rejected Jones Enterprise's application, citing priority for nearby businesses without factories. Eliza was troubled by this for a few days. What should she do? "Mr. Lincoln just received a notification too, saying that the Land Management Bureau has agreed to allow Jones Enterprise to participate in the auction," the assistant said. Melanie nodded. This was good. Even though Eliza couldn't return because she had to deal with some matters abroa
"Me?" Melanie asked in surprise.The director nodded. "I've noticed you, Miss Melanie. Every time you appear on camera, you become the center of attention. You’re a natural, and you make any shot look good.""I can't do it," Melanie chuckled, waving her hand dismissively. "I'm neither an actress nor a model.""Do you know why we want to pair actresses and models with Stephen?" The director began to persuade her. "It's because they bring their own fame. But Miss Melanie, your popularity now rivals that of some lesser-known models, especially after Vivian added fuel to the fire."Hearing this, the crew members chimed in, "Miss Melanie, give it a shot. Not only will it save time, but it will also cut down our costs.""That's right. We don't need you on screen too much. Just a few shots. It's not difficult," the director added persuasively.After weighing her options, Melanie gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed.As Melanie began her makeup, she was surprised to see Vivian accom
Online, the four beauty influencers who had previously collaborated with Vivian unexpectedly turned against her. They claimed that the night before using the perfume, Vivian had invited them to dinner and tampered with their fragrances during the meal.The scandal escalated when they realized something was amiss. Upon analyzing the perfume's ingredients, they found an element known to cause allergic reactions. This ingredient was absent from other samples, leading them to conclude that Vivian was behind the tampering.To make matters worse, the most influential beauty blogger leaked chat records with Vivian. These records confirmed that after the incident, Vivian had continuously encouraged him to manipulate public opinion online, aiming to utterly ruin Jones Enterprise's perfume line.Vivian's motives stemmed from personal revenge. She had initially shot the first commercial for the perfume but was edited out significantly due to her unsatisfactory performance. As a result, view
It would be better if Jeffrey didn't come, Stephen thought as he discreetly pocketed his phone.-Having finished handling the documents on his desk, Jeffrey pondered over Stephen's unusual question earlier. He instructed William, "Find out what Stephen is up to."Soon after, William reported back, "Sir, Mr. Stephen is shooting the second advertisement for Jones Enterprise's perfume today. Moreover... Madam has replaced his co-star."What?Jeffrey furrowed his brows. "Bring me the last advertisement proposal that Jones Enterprise submitted!""Yes, sir!"Without delay, William quickly presented the plan before Jeffrey.
