Britney affected vulnerability. “That’s a scandal, Mimi! I never hit you at any point in time! How could you… How could you make up lies like this? You beat me up and tore my hair. Just what is wrong with you? Why do you hate me so much?”Zeke scowled. “Stop it!” he bristled. “Noise… Just endless noise, and for what?! I don’t care who started this. You’re wrong the moment you decided to use violence against Britney. I’ve given you second chances, Mimi, and yet I fail to see you making the most
Britney’s feet remained nailed to the ground, her eyes glaring uselessly at Zeke’s retreating back, her face twisting in rage soaring from her chest. The director had disparaged her in front of a large crowd who now thrived in the intrigue and amusement of the episode. She had never been so thoroughly embarrassed before.However bilious she was, she dared not take it up to Zeke. That man laid beyond her power.But the crowd murmuring excitedly to themselves were not. With her hands clutched ar
Britney chortled smugly. “Enjoy, Mimi Norton. You’re gonna regret disrespecting me very, very soon!”…Mimi had no idea just what had happened after she stormed out of the set, but her indignant march was interrupted sooner than she had expected when her manager gave her a call. Seeing the name flashing on her screen, Mimi found every bit of her fury chilled. It was a rude awakening, one that jolted her out of her adrenaline.It was in that moment of sobriety when she became stunned and slowl
Oh God. How could Mimi be this dumb? How could she be so bad at mastering her temper? Now, look at what she had done. She could lose her career because of this—permanently!Mimi forced a sigh as more panic threatened to consume her.…Outside the entrance to Fordspring’s most luxurious hotel, a frantic mob of reporters and journalists—all armed with cameras, microphones, and other usual to the media’s arsenal—waited restlessly.Today was the Godfrey Group’s press conference. News of the event had attracted media attention, and many deployed representatives to catch a potentially explosive story, worried that they might miss out on one of the biggest headlines in the city otherwise.Jeanette was still inside her office, losing count on how many deep breaths she had taken to mollify the rebellion of nerves in her chest. There was a knock on her door, and her secretary walked inside.“It’s time, Miss Leighton. We should go now.”“Right.” She inhaled deeply and rose, tidying the cri
Suddenly, other reporters started asking questions as well, "Yes, Ms. Leighton, is the Godfrey Group still trying to shift the blame?""No matter what, you can’t twist the facts. The accident has already happened at the amusement park built by the Godfrey Group. Scammers like you are still trying to downplay your responsibilities?""Didn’t you say that you’d give everyone an explanation today? Why are you still evading your responsibility?"Jeanette was anxious, but when faced with the aggres
Damon's face was cold, and his voice was deep. The entire venue seemed to have become colder in an instant, and the reporters in the audience seemed to feel the harsh cold too.Damon continued. "The Godfrey Group held this press conference today to give you an explanation, but we didn’t even get to finish what we wanted to say. All of you are acting like this while the woman on stage is alone and powerless. Aren’t you guys taking advantage of us?"The reporters in the audience were rendered sp
The reporters in the audience were still trying to argue. "Mr. Godfrey, anyone could say nice things. Who would call themselves a scammer? A huge company like the Godfrey Group did something to cut corners, and now you’re trying to shift all your responsibilities. You should at least fabricate some decent evidence. There’s no evidence at all, so it’s ridiculous for you to be speaking out like this."Damon frowned, and his eyes were glaring. "Do you have the guts to bet with me then?"Damon's c
The reporter was completely stunned. How could he find that “friend” who had transferred the $30,000 to him? Because what Damon had said was true—he had dishonestly gotten the money.Yesterday, a stranger had called and told him to cause trouble at the Godfrey Group’s press conference by influencing the public opinion to ruin the press conference. He had also promised to give him a deposit of $30,000 first and an additional $30,000 after carrying out his task.He happened to be in need of mone
