The reporters rushed forward and started bombarding Britney with questions, one after another. Every single word and question was extremely incisive. Britney was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.It seemed like the public was completely on her side now, and that was great. Mimi would be criticized by everybody soon.Britney’s lips curved upward as she was secretly ecstatic, but she still had to pretend to be a weak, naïve girl. Since she had already put on a show, she had to go all-in
Britney nodded in satisfaction, her expression full of contempt. "Mimi was disrespectful just because the Burnham family got her back. She’s challenged me several times already. Not many actresses my age had the guts to go against me. She challenged me, so I’m going to make her pay for it!""Queen B, you’re doing the right thing! We’re solving violence with violence! Serves her right for being so arrogant," the assistant added.Britney smirked and felt proud, but she could not help but wonder
As Britney thought about it, she realized it had been a few days since she saw her sugar daddy.Britney was not young anymore.For ordinary people, being 28 years old was probably still considered being in their youth, and it was only the beginning of their wonderful life.However, in the entertainment industry, where beautiful men and women were abundant, being 28 was already considered a little old.Especially in recent years, talent shows had become popular. There were more men and women
Damon sighed. Seeing her like that made him feel sorry.‘Silly girl. She must’ve been so exhausted.’After getting home, before she could even remove her jacket, she had fallen asleep on the bed within seconds.It was no surprise that she was so tired. There had been too many things happening in the company lately. Since Damon was no longer the CEO, she was responsible for all work matters.She was an inexperienced girl who had no knowledge of any of the Godfrey Group's affairs. She had to s
It was as though Damon was born for business. Although he had been away from the office for a long time, he quickly got into the zone as soon as he returned to the office. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner."Yes!" the secretary nodded respectfully. For a moment, it felt like no one was a more perfect CEO than Damon. If it was not for the incident, the company would have let go of such a wise CEO.Damon nodded. The purpose of his visit to the office was to share some of Jeanette's wo
Xavier's words were incisive, and it was clear that he was trying to embarrass Damon.Damon sneered as he looked at his brother in front of him, who had been picking on him since he was a child. He found it extremely ironic."Well, since you said that it doesn’t make sense for me to be here when I’m not even an employee at the Godfrey Group, would it be appropriate for me to be here as the second largest shareholder of the Godfrey Group?"Xavier was rendered speechless when he said that. For
Xavier stood at the door to the CEO’s office, frowning and wearing a complicated expression on his face. He stared intently at the office, then smiled. His eyes flashed with mischief. He turned around and walked to the pantry.‘Well, Damon, since you’ve served yourself on a silver platter, I’ll have some fun with you.’Damon was sitting in an office chair, bowing his head as he managed some documents. His face was the picture of professionalism. He always looked serious whenever he was focused on his work and emitted a very stand-offish aura.Although he hadn’t gotten much rest last night, he had occupied the CEO’s seat in the Godfrey Group for many years. He was just as proficient as ever. He had smoothly caught the root of all the problems in the difficult, unsolvable tasks that Jeanette had left him, then promptly solved them all.However, just as he was in his zone, his office door suddenly swung open, and the voice that came along with it broke Damon’s train of thought. He w
“I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t have proof. You’d better give up, Xavier. You’re a Godfrey. You can’t let people with evil intentions exploit you, no matter your personal grudges, then turn around and hurt the company,” Damon icily said.“You’re lying!” Xavier was stunned.“Whether it’s a lie or not, you know better than anyone else. You know the contents of yesterday’s press conference. I will find the person who hurt the Godfrey Group in a month, as soon as possible and give everyone a good explanation.“But when the time comes, I really don’t want everyone to find out that the second Godfrey son was playing tricks, just to hurt the company. Your reputation won’t be the only one in jeopardy. The Godfrey Group would be completely humiliated too. If you give up now, I will consider keeping this information to myself,” Damon said.Xavier was taken aback. He was always under the impression that he had successfully hidden the matter very well, but Damon found out anyway.“Are yo
…In jail, Xavier stared at Jeanette’s face through a layer of glass. His expression was filled with hatred.Jeanette stared at him and took a deep breath. Then, she picked up the phone.“How’ve you been?”Xavier smirked. “Since my own brother has decided to send me to jail, why has he asked you to come all the way here? To insult me? You really are a match made in heaven.”Jeanette sighed. Actually, Xavier was a very smart man, on par with Damon. Besides, when she had first joined the Godf
In the car, Mimi turned to look at Zeke, who was next to her. For a moment there, she had no idea what to say to him.They had pretty much silently admitted to the media’s claims over their engagement. Over the past few days, Zeke had been making preparations for their engagement party. She had been the one to suggest getting married, but now she was beginning to feel cold feet. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to spend the rest of her life with Zeke.Zeke seemed to be in a good mood. He had
“Damon Godfrey! It was you, wasn’t it? How could you do this to me?” His expression was ruthless. His eyes were filled with a terrifying expression, unlike ever before. He looked like a wild animal that had been suppressing its urges for a very long time.Jeanette had never seen such a terrifying look on Xavier’s face before. She paused in fright as she stared at Xavier from afar.Damon seemed perfectly calm. “You brought this on yourself, Xavier. I know what you’ve done. It’s just that I neve
“You’re overthinking it!” Elias slapped her hand away.Vanessa laughed bitterly. “Oh, I wish I was, Elias. But the facts prove that you’re in love with Mimi Norton. You’re in love with your best friend’s fiancee!”“That has nothing to do with you!” Elias was like a cat who had his tail trampled on. He was tense. He had grown increasingly annoyed now that the heart of the matter had been prodded at.“Nothing to do with me? Elias, do you really think that I was only in love with your position?
Damon reached out and held her wrist. “You don’t believe me? Then come with me.”Jeanette smacked his hand away, looking very stern. “What are you planning? I’m not leaving with you.”Felix suddenly emerged from his room, holding a teddy bear, just as the pair were in the midst of conflict. He widened his large, limpid eyes and looked at Damon at the doorway. His expression filled with immense joy.“Daddy!” The little boy smiled and happily rushed to wrap his arms around Damon’s waist. “Daddy, are you here to take Mommy and me home?”Damon smiled and gazed at his clever son, a god-send, and spoke in a gentle voice. “Of course. Would you like to come home with Daddy?”“Yes!” The little boy’s voice was clear. Then, he carefully turned to Jeanette. “Mommy…”Jeanette frowned. Her heart was a mess. Felix missed his home. He was such a small child and had been forced to endure the conflict between her and Damon. He must have suffered. However, she couldn’t go home with Damon like this.
Jeanette was standing in the kitchen, staring dazedly at the pot of burnt potatoes, looking exasperated.‘I’m such an idiot! I’ve actually managed to burn potatoes… by boiling them. This is completely unheard of! It’s all my fault for being so careless. I left the potatoes to boil and ran off to do something else. I was so busy that I completely forgot about them, until two minutes ago, when I smelled the burnt potatoes. Then I remembered that mine and Felix’s dinner was in that pot. All of the water had actually evaporated!’Jeanette felt a massive headache as she stared at the blackened potatoes stuck to the pot. This was the only food they had at home. Now that the potatoes were ruined, she had no other choice except to take Felix out for food.She scratched her head in exasperation. Felix appeared from behind her, hugging the teddy bear she had just bought for him, and walked into the kitchen. He lifted his chubby, naively little face and stared pitifully up at Jeanette.“Mommy
In a restaurant, the surrounding atmosphere was illuminated by a gentle, dim light, which made it all feel warm and comfortable. Mimi stared at Zeke, who was seated in front of her. She looked hesitant and nervous. She released two soft coughs, unable to say the words she wanted to say.‘Get engaged…’These words felt very distant to her. She did believe that Zeke was the kind of man she could spend the rest of her life with, but to prepare herself for marriage with him in such a short period… She couldn’t bring herself to accept it. After all, she and Zeke had only been dating for a very short time. Unfortunately, Vanessa’s threat had rendered it impossible for her to avoid the subject. Upon careful consideration, it made sense. Since she was going to be with Zeke, why would the time of marriage make any difference?Perhaps it was time for her to truly accept this relationship and start a new life.She took a deep breath and looked at Zeke, who sat in front of her, then swallowe
“Father, even if he is my brother, he should be responsible for his crimes. We live in a civilized society. Besides, he’s worked with an outsider in a plot against our company. You know this. The company wouldn’t have been reduced to this mess if it weren’t for him. Father, your constant shelter and indulgence has caused him to make so many mistakes! If you continue spoiling Xavier, he’ll resort to something even more terrifying in the future,” Damon said with a frown.Christophe smirked in his rage. “Damon, has your search for power driven you mad? How could you be so cruel to your own brother? It’s not like you’re unaware of why I’ve been so indulgent toward him. Xavier has never been of sound mind from a young age. Are you worried that I’d leave the Godfrey Group to him? That he would take everything that belongs to you?”Damon was taken aback. He chuckled bitterly and exasperatedly. “Father, do you really think that that’s what I think? Would you really be bold enough to leave th
The car drove along the road. The driver, a woman, dressed in black wearing a baseball cap, slowly spoke. “What did you say to her?”Vanessa pursed her lips, looking particularly relaxed. “I told her to get engaged with Zeke within a week.”The sound of the car coming to a screeching halt filled the air. The car stopped in the middle of the road, just like that, forcing a row of cars behind them to stop as well. The driver widened her eyes. Her expression was full of rage. “I thought we agreed to expose her affair with Elias? It was a great opportunity for us to ruin her, and you just gave it up?”Vanessa shrugged, looking unperturbed. “Why would I want to ruin her?”“I thought you hated her? Don’t tell me you’re going soft!”The woman frowned. Her expression was filled with anger as if she resented her for not doing any better.She had been planning for so long, coming up with all sorts of schemes to find someone who hated Mimi just as much as she did. However, who would have th
