THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY – INTENTIONALLY WHIPPED
Gwyneth was on her knees and although her hands were tied, her head was held high.She distinctly enunciated each word. “I am a princess of the Empire. Why should I acquire the lowly expertise of a performer? Kill me as you please, but you can never break my spirit!”“Snap!”The whip was wielded.Following a grunt, she quivered out of pain.In the audience, Priscilla suddenly changed her face.When Lyla was auditioning earlier, although the matron waved a whip the whip was skillfully lashed to an empty spot beside her.Although the sound was alarming, the whip never touched her.Yet, Regina whipped Gwyneth intentionally?Caught off guard by her, Gwyneth gawked at Regina but the latter was already running through her next lines.The searing pang on her arm distorted her face, but she quickly snapped back and resumed her acting.Gritting her teeth, she glared at the matron on high and spat.“I can’t teach you a lesson, but I can do so to others. Bring them to me!”It was the same action
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE – ACT ON THE SAME STAGE
Regina’s face stiffened slightly.If she refused, she would be considered mean.Fortunately, she had been acting for so many years, while Priscilla had never engaged in acting, so it was conceivable that she knew anything about acting at all.If she wanted to be humiliated, let her be.Thinking like this, Regina smiled with confidence.“Sure!” Seeing this, Director Romans agreed.He sat back down behind the monitor with a vague sense of manipulation.After all, although he chose Regina to act as Stefanie Marion, to be honest, she was not the perfect candidate in mind.However, without a better candidate on deck, he had to put up with such an arrangement for now.As for Priscilla, he was amazed at first sight.She had a calm and indifferent temperament, which was similar to the character of Stefanie Marion in his mind.That calm yet distant demeanor and the chilling presence presented by the slight furrow between the brows was a similar resemblance to the Stefanie Marion in his mind.B
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO – PAYBACK
“Where is the general? And soldiers warriors? Where are they?” “They have been killed!”The ministers were in a great uproar, but the Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the throne, remained expressionless and calm.It was then the palace gate was opened.Soldiers in black armour rushed in.“Kill them all, except those who surrender!”The stage echoed with the sounds of cries and weapons clashing.Staring at the figure walking through the palace gate, Sofia’s unperturbed face finally wavered.Stefanie was of such mighty presence, cladded in black armor and equipped with a spear. Her furrowed brow addressed a chilling bearing that could only be if Hades from Hell, casting the arrogance and imperiousness of worldly disdain!Back in the auditorium, Paul was looking at Priscilla as Stefanie was coming, and his pupils shrank.That was… The picture in his head overlapping with his stirred quiet and emotion in him.This was Stefanie Marion in the flesh.The woman whose homeland and family
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE – THE PAST
“Do you know how hard it was for me to become the Empress? How much I had to endure to become an empress dowager? Finally, I sat high above the masses, without being held in contempt. Why wouldn’t you allow me to indulge a little longer?”Crying, and shouting, Sofia’s tears finally let out.Stefanie didn’t say anything. Gazing at her once beloved sister for a moment, she cracked into a smile. “You said nobody loves you? When you were a child, you stole your father’s jade fan. Who was the one beaten for you? When you were ten years old, you fell into a pond and nearly drowned. Who risked their life to save you? When you were fifteen years old, we were escorted to the Empire…”There was a sudden break in Stefanie's voice as if she had been reminded of some terrible memory.Those clear and cool eyes caught a scarlet, with deep disappointment and hatred.“Who was the one who came in the way when countless people tried to defile your innocence during the journey of a thousand five hundred
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR – BAD FEELING
“Sister, I was wrong! Please forgive me! I’m begging you!”Sofia fell on her face and crawled all the way, with tears and snot mixing. She no longer looked like an Empress Dowager of the Empire.The woman in the combat wear still did not look back, but her eyes, which were covered in the sunset glow, were stained with twinkles of red.Her face tightened, and the hand holding the seal trembled slightly.Scenes of their younger days-taking her sister to climb over walls, on trees, and play with mud but being met with her sister's dislike, flashed through her mind.Nevertheless, these scenes were soon replaced by images of innocent people dying in her hands.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.After a long time, Stefanie said in a cold voice, “The empress dowager of this empire is found guilty beyond forgiveness for the absence of virtue, going rampant and oppressing the people! She is hereby sentenced to death! The sky thundered and a thunderstorm began to sound.Sofia stood st
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE – I THINK I SHOULD CHANGE THE ACTRESS
Was it for real?It was a production that cost four hundred million dollars, and he wanted a newbie with no experience to act in it.Director Romans must be out of his mind.Regina believed this was impossible. Priscilla was indeed great with her performance, but the way she saw it, it was because she guided her into the role. So, she didn’t give it a second thought, she said to Paul in a sweet tone, “Director Romans, you only praised my sister and forgot me.”Paul noticed her now and said with a smile. “Regina of course you are great too. Wait, what happened to your face?”Seeing he finally noticed her, Regina forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing. My sister just slapped me, it is okay, and I’m fine now!”Priscilla looked at her and smiled, “Oh, I’m sorry. I was too occupied in my role to hold back. You can’t deny that I managed to invoke stronger emotions in you. Don’t you agree sister?”She returned the same words Regina told Gwyneth.Regina's face stiffened.At this point, Paul
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX – SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY ANY ROLE
But Frederick sure took things seriously.Paul wept without tears.A minute later, he suddenly understood when David came in with a brand new set of cutleries. He turned to look at Fredrick and was greeted by a teasing smirk reflected in the latter’s eyes.Paul took over the tableware and said, “Thank you, cousin.”Paul was a distant cousin of Fredrick. Although he was older than Fredrick almost twenty years. Fredrick could not let him wait with an empty stomach.Putting down the bowl and utensils, he took a napkin to wipe his mouth and said, “Clean up when you finish, I got to take a break.”With that, he was about to go inside the lounge.Seeing this, Paul quickly got up, “Wait a minute!”Fredrick turned his head.Paul swallowed the food in his mouth in a rush. Without a care for his meal, he grabbed his laptop and trod over. “Cousin, I’m here for business.”Fredrick frowned, “What’s wrong?”“I want to change the actress,” Paul said seriously.Next Paul placed the computer on the
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN – IT’S MY MOTHER
He already had a plan in his mind about how to persuade Priscilla to join the cast.From today’s performance, he was sure that she was absolutely the best.There were two kinds of actors, those born with innate skills and those nurtured.The latter acquired and honed their acting skills through practicing and hard work, but the former were born to be on the screen and in the spotlight.He had been doing this for decades and could not be mistaken. Priscilla was gifted in performing arts! With his polishing, the film would be a huge hit.He couldn’t figure out why Fredrick refused him.Fredrick sat there, looking at him and sneering. “For the actress in the leading role, you can choose anyone but her! I don’t need to explain myself to you. You can leave now!”Paul’s face was constantly changing.He had the urge to throw a tantrum but he did not have the guts. Paul wanted to reason, but Frederick had made it clear that was it.Finally, he got up and walked out in anger.Paul was halfway

Meanwhile, Priscilla and Frederick got into the car together. “Where are we heading to?”Fredrick looked at Priscilla’s face, frowning, “Let’s go to the hospital first.” He said to David. “Yes, Mr. Lincoln,” David replied. Priscilla took a breath and said, “No, I’m all right. There’s no need to go to the hospital.”“No talking.” Frederick ignored her and Priscila could only shut her mouth at this insistence. The man held her face in his hands and looked at it closely. The face, once delicate and fair, was now slightly swollen, and there were clear marks of the five fingers of Lindsay. His eyes grew cold again. “You did a good job today, but the next time you meet one of those crazy dogs, don’t beat it yourself, call me, okay?”Priscilla looked at him and curled her lips, “Lindsay has always been like that. When she was in high school, she liked to bully other girls in school. I did not expect to meet her here. Hiss—”The wound on her face was touched by Fredrick’s finger and s
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE – PLEASE FORGIVE ME
“What do you mean by How can it be? Apologize to Mr. Lincoln and Miss Waals now!” Calix ordered. Lindsay came back to her senses. Although she did not want to, and her hatred towards Priscilla had run down to her bones, she knew that she could not afford to cross Frederick Lincoln. So, she said reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lincoln.” Fredrick raised his eyebrows. He said, “I could not feel the sincerity of your apology.” Lindsay clenched her fingers. She was humiliated the first time she had a chance to meet this extraordinary man. But it was still okay if that was just it. But Priscilla was also here. Intense unwillingness and resentment surged in her heart, but after she met the cold gaze of Frederick, they were all pressed down. She took a deep breath and repeated, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lincoln I was wrong.”“Sorry for what?” Frederick asked. “For what I have done…” Before she finished, Lindsay understood what he meant and took a glance at Priscilla, “To Miss Waals…”Priscilla t
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT – CRAZY DOG
“I was just returning what you gave, normally when you get bitten by a crazy dog, you certainly should not just bite it back, but I always feel that some animals shouldn’t be spoiled or else they will forget who they are.”“AHHHH... You bitch!”Lindsay charged at her like a mad bull, the clerk in the store was also stunned. They did not know whether to call the police or to stop her first.Priscilla’s eyes were cold. She took a step back and snapped, “Mr Calix, so you are just going to let your girl make a scene here?”Calix came back to his senses and hurriedly came forward to pull Lindsay, “That’s enough!”“Don’t pull me, this b*tch hit me! I won’t let you get away with it today.”Lindsay broke free from Calix and continued to rush toward Priscilla.Priscilla’s face changed drastically.She was wearing a dress today, which was not suitable for a fight. Now Lindsay was a crazy dog, anyone with sanity would be afraid.Priscilla retreated towards the door.Having lost her mind, Lindsay
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN – SMACK; SMACK
She and Lindsay Campbell went to the same high school, they were in the same grade but different classes. However, Priscilla did know her.When she had just met Ryan, Lindsay also liked him.But Ryan gave her a cold shoulder and did everything he could to pursue Priscilla. After they were together, Lindsay held a grudge against her for a long time. It still surprised Priscilla that after six years, she could still not let it go. She stared at her coldly and then showed a sarcastic smile. “I’m sorry but I pretended I could not see you because I really don’t think it is a good thing to know you. Are you satisfied with this answer?”Lindsay's face changed instantly. “You!”The man she was with came up instantly and asked her, “Your friend?”However, Lindsay was so angry, she pulled his arms and said in an aggrieved tone, “We are not friends! Calix, you don’t know her, right? She is the abandoned daughter of the Waals family, she stole my boyfriend and also stole her sister’s artwork jus
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX – LINDSAY CAMPBELL
A few days ago, Frederick went back to Spark Land City. He had wanted to go back with Priscilla, but she rejected him.Priscilla hadn’t decided whether to go back with him to meet his family or not. She always felt that it would be somewhat awkward for her to go to Spark Land City, considering their relationship.Fredrick did not force her, because he knew what she was thinking and he also knew her that if he forced her, it might just backfire. So he could only give her time to think.Fortunately, she was always by his side, and she was not going anywhere, so there was nothing to worry about. It was all about time.He had got all the patience in the world.It was five in the afternoon when Priscilla received the call.Priscila cast a glance at the screen and a gleam of surprise flashed across her eyes. She picked it up in a hurry and heard a familiar voice. “Have you arrived?”Fredrick coughed before he added, “Darling, I just got off the plane, but I need to go to the company to deal
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE – HE IS PROUD
Priscilla frowned, she hated everything with a pungent taste and smell all her life.She sneaked a glimpse at the man on the sofa with the corner of her eyes. He did not raise his head but said slightly, “I don’t mind feeding you personally.”Priscilla was stunned.She picked it up, pinched her nose, and drank it all. After drinking the soup, she also took the medicine.Fredrick was finally satisfied.After sending the bowl downstairs, he came back, put her on the bed, and covered her up with the quilt. “Sleep well and tomorrow you will be fine.”Feeling out of it, without the energy to say anything more herself, Priscilla fell asleep very quickly.When she woke up the next day, she did feel better.Fredrick had already gotten up and was waiting for her downstairs in the dining room.Priscilla got downstairs and greeted Wilma who was already serving breakfast, “Thank you for the ginger soup last night, I feel much better now.”Wilma answered with a smile, “You are welcome ma’am.”But
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR – SHE SLIPPED
Priscilla was stunned, she looked up and saw the handsome face of Fredrick.With a slight start, she wanted to sit up and wanted to leave.However, the space in the car was quite limited and the man was taking enough when she straightened up from his lap. Her head hit the roof of the car.“Look out!” Fredrick shouted.Fortunately, Frederick had a quick reaction and put his hand between her head and the roof of the car.Priscilla bumped into his hand. Fredrick held her on his lap and said seriously.“Don’t move, we will be home soon.”She had no choice but to stay still and then she asked in confusion. “I fell asleep?” “Yes, you have caught a cold. When we reach home I will ask Wilma to prepare some ginger soup for you.”Priscilla frowned and touched her forehead.Indeed, it seemed to be a bit hot.After the car arrived home, they got off. Fredrick ordered Wilma to make ginger soup and ordered her to go to the room to take a hot bath.The heater was on in the room, and the hot bath w
THE CEO'S WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE – GO HOME TOGETHER
In his office, he was still engaged in a meeting.As the chairman of Lincoln Group of course he would be busy since he would have to take care of everything in the company.Moreover, the overseas branches had recently made some progress in the digital technology they were developing. Fredrick had paid most of his attention to their work and felt it was necessary to know everything about it before he could even feel at ease. As a result, he had a lot of meetings with the overseas branches recently. When Priscilla got there, she could see the office on the other side from the giant screen in the office.She was stunned for a moment when she realized what just happened, she had been seen. She just walked in quietly without making a sound.Fredrick saw her and almost immediately ended the meeting as he stood up.“Is it raining?” He asked her knitting his eyebrows, seeing her clothes were kind of wet.Priscilla smiled and wiped off the water on her hair casually. Then placed the takeout o

The next day Priscilla went to Anderson International directly.After a series of contracts were signed, Big Hit Entertainment was now officially a partner of Anderson International.As the order was given by Frederick directly, though the managers in the company were all surprised, they dared not say much.After signing the contracts, David took Priscilla to the Public Relations department and announced her role as the manager of the department.In the past two years, Priscilla has already made herself quite famous in Famous Entertainment.Though she has tried to keep a low profile, most of the people in the business have known her and recognized her capability.Now that their boss had invited her over, they all felt pleased.Of course, there were still some people who had been in the company for many years and felt so happy when there was finally a vacancy in such a position thinking they might have a chance. But now someone from nowhere came and took the position from them.They fe
