The night breeze was slightly chilly. The moon shone high in the sky, as its silvery-white light illuminated the world in a silvery glow. The street lamps shone with a warm yellow light.Jeanette pushed Damon out of the office building in his wheelchair. A chilly breeze brushed across them, which made her shiver. She stopped.“What happened?” Damon sensed her sudden change and asked.Jeanette fell silent for two seconds and hesitated for a while before asking, “Damon… aren’t you angry?”She had been worrying ever since they entered the elevator. Damon had always resented his brother, and he had already been enraged once in the daytime.Now, Xavier had added fuel to the flames with his nonsensical claims. He must be enraged. She was beginning to worry that Xavier’s words would cause a rift between them.Damon lifted his head and looked into her eyes. “Honestly, I was a little angry when I heard it at first. But I’m not angry now.”“Why?” Jeanette asked.Damon smirked, reached ou
Before Elias could make sense of the strange feeling welling up in his chest, the hospital room door was pushed open. Jeanette walked in, pushing Damon in a wheelchair.“What happened?” Jeanette’s eyes betrayed her anxiety and concern. She had rushed over as soon as she heard about Mimi.Mimi was her closest friend in this city. She had been overwhelmed and busy after accepting the position as the Godfrey Group’s CEO. Furthermore, she had been continuously worried over Damon, who was injured, so she wasn’t able to check on Mimi. She never expected this to happen.She walked to the side of the bed, and Mimi’s face entered her sights. Her face was attached to a ventilator, so Jeanette couldn’t help clasping her hand over her mouth in shock.This was a girl who was always full of energy. She would burst into peals of laughter whenever she was happy, and even when she was upset and drunk, she would still be full of energy.However, to see such an energetic and feisty girl lying quietl
The next day, the hospital room door burst open just as dawn broke. Jeanette, who had been sitting by the bed, dazed and sleepy, was startled by the sudden noise and promptly woke up.Elias walked in, frowning. His face was cold and stoic.“What happened? Are you hurt?” Jeanette asked.Elias shook his head. “No, it’s just that we have a more pressing matter now.”Last night, he had dealt with those gangsters thoroughly and handed them to the police. However, he caught sight of a headline on a big news portal when he arrived at the hospital entrance.“Mimi Norton Bullies Britney Conway”. The glaring headline made his pupils dilate. He tapped on the headline and watched the video. Then, his expression grew increasingly sullen.He knew Mimi very well. She may have an impatient temper, but she was a good person. She would never throw her weight around and bully a fellow actor on set. Then, he remembered the strange things that Britney had said to him over the past few days.He could
Mimi remained unconscious until the afternoon before waking up.When she blurrily opened her eyes, she felt intense pain all over her body. She felt as if her body were not her own, especially her chest, which felt as if it had cracked. Even taking a small breath made her feel as if her chest were bursting open.She frowned in agony. Her face was pale, and even her lips were white.Jeanette saw her opening her eyes and quickly went to her. “Mimi, are you awake?” Her eyes were filled with anxiety and concern.Mimi was in such pain that cold sweat had broken out on her forehead. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn’t make a sound.She felt too weak, and her body had no strength. Furthermore, there was intense pain in her chest. Opening her mouth to speak alone felt as if she could tear her chest apart.Jeanette quickly spoke up to stop her. “Slow down, Mimi. You’ve only just woken up, so your body is very weak. You don’t have to talk if you don’t have the strength. Don’t worry,
Britney softly wept with reddened eyes, “I don’t know… I really don’t know why she was acting like that that day…” Then, she quickly closed her eyes as if she had suffered a huge shock. She even pretended to faint.The reporters were immediately shocked by the sight of this. They quickly snapped pictures and recorded the scene.“Everyone, please step aside. Britney has fainted. I need to take her to the hospital immediately!” her assistant immediately said. The reporters were shocked by the scene and instinctively made a way.The assistant helped the “fragile” Britney into the car, and the car drove off. Once she was sure that the reporters were far away and couldn’t be seen, Britney sat up in the car seat and accepted a bottle of mineral water from her assistant. She opened the cap and gulped down the water.“I’m exhausted. And I still had to put on a show. Those idiotic journalists couldn’t tell at all.” Britney crowed triumphantly.The assistant hurriedly spoke up to flatter he
“That proves that this video was edited. They deliberately maintained the parts where Mimi slapped her and cut out all of Britney’s reactions. They were obviously trying to damage Mimi’s reputation. I may not know what’s going on, but Mimi would never push anyone around like this. Britney must have aggravated her, or she would never react this way.”“Do you believe in her that much?” Zeke asked. “Do you trust me, Russo?” “Pfft. Of course I do. We’ve been best friends for so many years. Who
“What?”“I’m the director of this movie. This is a fight that happened on my set. More people would probably believe me if I published this. Besides, I can’t publish the entire thing. I want to give her a taste of her own medicine,” Zeke explained with a frown.“What do you mean?” Elias was confused.“I mean, we need to make sure that the result is equal to the video online. Cut off all footage of Mimi losing her cool and leaving Britney’s tantrum. That was how she hurt Mimi, right? So we’ll
Elias’ response made Britney feel very awkward. Her face was drained of color.This wasn’t the first time Elias had clapped back on her, refusing to leave her any sense of pride. She would have thrown a huge fit if this had come from anyone else, then do everything in her power to cause trouble for him.However, this man was not to be trifled with, especially not by a celebrity like her.After all, he was an heir to the Burnham fortune. The Burnhams’ power was not to be underestimated. Elias may have kept a low profile and refused his inheritance, choosing to be a doctor at a hospital instead, but even a low-profile swan was a huge rank above a waddling duck.She may be demanding but wasn’t blind. She knew who to avoid offending. She knew that much, at least.As such, Britney maintained an innocent facade when faced with Elias’ snide remarks. She always believed that acting innocent was a woman’s greatest weapon. This was how she had conquered that producer, after all.“What are
