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
"I acknowledge that the incident that happened at the amusement park was heart-wrenching, and it was because of my poor supervision indeed, but the Godfrey Group has never done anything to cut corners. We’re not going to take the blame."I’ll make this clear today. I would like to ask all news outlets and the public to give me one month. I’ll definitely find the perpetrator who framed the Godfrey Group and give all of you an explanation!" Damon said solemnly.As soon as Damon said that, there
"Silly…" Damon smiled helplessly, "Last night, the subordinates I sent told me that a few of the reporters who were coming to the press conference today were acting strange."At such a large press conference, there’d likely be troublemakers, so I asked my subordinates to keep an eye on the reporters. Surprisingly, they did find out about the changes in their bank accounts, so I was guessing someone would cause trouble and embarrass you at the press conference today. That’s why I'm here."Jeane
