At that moment, Britney was in a complete panic. She did not dare to have herself photographed because she knew she was never going to be able to remain within the entertainment industry if she had another scandal on the news. Hurriedly, she called her assistant’s phone number to have the latter get her out of there. But, what she did not expect was that her assistant did not answer the phone call. It was not after Britney had urgently called many times that the phone call was finally answered
Britney could feel the anger within her rising. Her chest felt as though a blazing fire was burning it, and her mind was filled with so much rage that she could hear ringing in her ears. She never thought that her assistant, who would usually behave like a puppy as she diligently brought Britney her drinks and remained quiet as she got beaten plus still tried to curry favor, would actually say such ugly words to her on that very day. “You opportunistic b*tch!” Britney scowled. “Do you think
As she said that, she took $45 out of her purse and threw them onto the box. Then, without even saying a word of thanks, Britney put on her mask and sunglasses as she turned around to leave. Britney intended to head back to the company to have a discussion with her manager about what was going to happen next. However, the moment she arrived at the company’s entrance, she realized that there were also reporters there, waiting for her to show up. Slightly dumbfounded, Britney hurriedly left. W
Britney was dumbfounded at that point. ‘How is this possible!?’“Why? Why the f*ck am I replaced? That’s my contract, and it’s clearly written on it. I can sue you for having me replaced all of a sudden, you know!” Britney urgently yelled. However, her manager was snickering as he said, “You still don’t get it, do you, Ms. Conway? As a celebrity, it’s your duty to make sure that you don’t have any negative news on you. Only by doing so will you not affect our investors’ activities.“However,
Aside from worrying about Damon, who was lying in hospital with his injuries, she still had to take care of the company’s matters, which caused her to spend less time taking care of her son. At that moment, Jeanette felt extremely responsible for Felix’s tears. ‘Is it because I’ve been leaving him out at home for too long? How do I not even know that he’s aggrieved?’The little boy then reached out his hands and tightly hugged his mother’s neck like a koala bear. Unwilling to let go, he would
“Huh?”Jeanette was stunned. She did not expect her son to be so hard to coax with his stubbornness. However, she really was able to understand the little boy’s feelings at the time. Children all wanted their parents to accompany them, especially when they were around Felix’s age, where they were feeling insecure. Most children his age would not be able to leave their parents’ side for even a day. However, Felix had been left at home for such a long time, so he would definitely feel scared an
‘He’s only just recovered a little, but he didn’t sleep for the whole night in Mimi’s ward that day.’“Mommy, Daddy told me this morning to take care of you and make sure you have something to eat when you wake up,” Felix said in a serious tone. Once again, Jeanette felt a rush of warmth in her heart. Actually, this was how Damon had always been. After the both of them had been married for so long, he seemed to always be able to take care of every little detail of Jeanette’s lifestyle. Alth
Damon had always been a very self-confident man who would always seem like he had a plan in his mind. No matter what happened, he was always able to remain calm without even being fazed in the slightest. It was as if nothing in the world was going to be able to throw him into a panic. Thus, his secretary could not help but muster up some confidence in him, and her worried emotions significantly faded away.‘I should believe in Mr. Godfrey since I’ve been working for him for quite some time no
…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
