Fern knew very well that Eugene made that inappropriate remark on purpose. Was he trying to humiliate her or show off in front of Jeremy? Regardless of why he did it, he had achieved his goal. His words made her feel extremely awkward. She felt even more embarrassed in front of Jeremy. She turned around and stared at him coldly. She corrected him, “You should’ve said that the three of us slept on the same bed last night. It wasn’t just both of us.”Eugene held Rue’s hand and stuffed his other hand in his pocket. He pressed his lips together into a thin line. Did she refute his words so quickly in order to clarify things to Jeremy? “I didn’t say anything wrong. I was referring to all three of us. Me, you, and Rue,” he said in a mocking tone as he raised his brow. “Let’s go,” she told Jeremy. She then got into his car. Jeremy and Eugene met each other’s gaze. They did not say anything. They simply glared at each other in a hostile manner. Jeremy then got into his car as
Yuki raised her head and looked up at him with teary eyes. “Really? You’ve been trying your best to rescue me all this while?” “Of course, I won’t leave you here just like that.”“I knew that you still care about me!” Yuki jumped into his arms once again. She hugged him tightly. “Alright, you should’ve learned your lesson by now, right? Don’t throw a tantrum for no reason and drive recklessly on the road.” Jeremy thought that this had been a good chance to educate her. Yuki pouted and said, “I didn’t throw a tantrum for no reason. It was all because of you…” She suddenly remembered why she had gotten angry in the first place. She suddenly stared at him and asked, “How about Fernie? Is she still in our house?” She still thought that his house was her house. Jeremy nodded and said, “Yes.” “You… How can you allow her to continue staying in our house? Why aren’t you kicking her out?” She hated Fern Thompson! “Are you going to behave recklessly again? She’s important to me.
Jeremy’s assistant rushed over and showed Jeremy the news that had spread online.“Jerry, everyone is discussing this incident right now. Our competitors have already hired bots to spread the news and make it into a large issue. If we don’t handle it now, I’m afraid that the negative comments online will only keep increasing.” Jeremy’s assistant had already contacted the social media platform to stop the news from spreading online. However, everything had progressed way too quickly. It would be hard to stop the news from spreading for the time being.Jeremy looked at the comments online. Most of them were cursing him. The accounts had similar usernames and the content of their comments was almost identical. It seemed like their competitors had really hired bots to attack him. The news articles online mentioned that Yuki was his sister. They said he used his status as a celebrity to get help from his connections and commit bribery so that Yuki could be freed in advance without havin
Jeremy had never looked down on the law. He just cared about his family. Why did everybody have to overanalyze it and make a big issue out of it?Now, he just had to send Yuki back to the detention center. That way, nobody would talk about this incident again. Of course, Yuki was not willing to go back. She had enough of that place.“I don’t want to! I’ve already come out! I won’t return to that place ever again!” Yuki rejected Jeremy loudly.“It’s not up to you. I’m now involved in this incident. Everyone is paying attention to this incident. If you don’t go back and serve your remaining punishment, things won’t be good for either of us.” Jeremy clearly understood the terrifying power of netizens. He would not allow something like this to ruin his career. Yuki had never experienced something like this before. Of course, she was not at all afraid.“I don’t care. Help me resolve this. Anyway, I won’t go back there.” She had been loved dearly by her parents since she was young. S
Regardless of how much Yuki protested and the ruckus she caused, Jeremy eventually sent her back to the detention center.He did not have to arrange for reporters to take photographs this time around. There were already reporters at the detention center. They had taken photographs of the entire incident and posted them online. All the netizens had taken his side now, especially his fans. Public opinion was completely dominated by them. There was not a single malicious comment online. Newton Corporation.“President Eugene, look at the most recent news articles.” Wyatt showed Eugene the news articles about Jeremy sending Yuki back to the detention center. Eugene glanced at the news articles and smirked in amusement. “Jeremy Ziegler has quite some tricks up his sleeve. He’s a worthy competitor.” That was right. At least, his competitor was not a dimwit. “It seems like he’s resolved this crisis on his own. Public opinion favors him now.” Wyatt admired Jeremy for being able to c
Fern had to be suspended on wires for the filming this time around. She went up the platform to prepare for the filming. Jeremy watched her from below. A dark and conflicted glint flashed across his eye. His assistant walked to his side and told him, “Everything has been prepared.” His gaze was still fixed on Fern. He replied, “Alright.” He had to take action now. He could not allow Eugene to continue acting in such an arrogant manner. After Fern put on all the equipment, the director called out and signaled the start of the shooting. Dangling from the wires, she jumped down from the platform straight away. She thought that she would be able to complete the shoot by flying down smoothly just like the previous time she worked with wires. However, right after she stepped off the platform, a loud snap rang out from behind her!Before she could get a grasp of what was going on, she felt gravity pulling her down as she rapidly fell! “Ah…” Fern screamed out in fear. What was
“Really? You’re agreeing?” Jeremy was so happy that he suddenly grabbed her hand. There was an unconcealable smile on his face. Fern could not help but burst out into laughter when she saw him being so happy. He looked just like a child that had gotten some candy. She nodded and said, “Yes, I agree.” “That’s great. I’ll ask my assistant to get someone to determine an auspicious date. We’ll hold a signing ceremony on that day and invite all the large media companies to report about it so that everyone will know that we’re together now… Oh, no, I mean I’ll let everyone know that we’re work partners now.” “That’s way too troublesome,” Fern said in amusement. She did not really mind whether he decided to hold a ceremony or not. She preferred keeping a low profile. “This isn’t troublesome at all. This is how I’ll treat you. This shows how sincere I am and how important you are to me.” Fern looked at his injured hand. Even if he did not say it out loud, she knew that she was i
“You’re back. Come here, let me introduce you to Uncle Sonne,” Old Master Newton told him. Eugene looked at the expression on his grandfather’s face. The old man did not seem enthusiastic to entertain this guest as well. He must be one of the Newton family’s old friends, which meant that he was one of his father’s friends back when he was the head of the Newton household. “Uncle Sonne,” he greeted him politely. Did his grandfather ask him to come home just to introduce one of his old friends to him? Parker gave him a once over and said, “He looks a bit like his father back in the day.” Eugene could not tell if that was praise or condemnation. After a brief pause, he told Eugene, “I heard that you’ve been managing the Newton household pretty well.” Eugene was not humble about it at all. “It’s better than it ever was.” Parker could not help but guffaw loudly. “It’s good for a young man to take pride in himself. It’s no wonder you do things in such a cruel and merciless
