No matter how mad she was, she still had to try to smile on the surface. "I won't disturb your dinner, then. I'll come back to see you when I have time." "Wait," Jeremy abruptly spoke. For a moment, Jenna was happy, but unfortunately, what she heard next was nothing pleasant. "It’s best if you don’t come. I don’t want you disturbing my rest." His words were nonchalant. Jenna could no longer hold her anger. She turned around and sneered, "Jeremy, you’ve been doing this for so long now. Don't you know that you should never piss off a woman?" Most importantly, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy in this industry. She had put down her pride to please him. Even if he did not like her, there was nothing wrong with them being just friends, right? Why did he have to say such rude words? Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "You do realize that I've been in this industry longer than you, right? How can I not understand what you're implying?" He paused for a second bef
Jeremy's injured hand was not completely healed, but he had recovered enough to be discharged. He immediately arranged for Fern's signing ceremony. "Aren't you rushing it? Besides, your injury isn’t healed yet, so why don’t we do this another day—" Fern was not in a hurry, but she was quickly interrupted by him. "I don't want to wait for even a second more. I’m worried you’ll regret it if we don’t do it now." Not to mention that he had already set the location and made appointments with the media. "I won't regret it. I’ve already given you my promise." She thought he was overthinking it. Jeremy looked straight at her and said, "I even got a professional to decide the date for us. I was told this day would be a good day for a signing ceremony." So she should just accept his arrangement. Fern could not persuade him. She thought that since she would need to sign the contract eventually, she might as well have it done all at once. On the day of the signing ceremony, many media
The security guards only reacted at that moment and immediately ran on stage, grabbing the man who exposed such things to the media reporters. It took some effort to subdue him, but ultimately, several security guards brought him down the stage.Jeremy's assistant had also dealt with the photos on the screen, while the other staff members were maintaining order. Jeremy went over and pulled Fern back. "It's okay, don't be nervous." Fern was fuming. Now that the cat was out of the bag, her daughter’s existence would certainly be revealed to the public. "Fernie, is there any truth to what he said? Are you the lover of Newton Corporation’s President Eugene? Did you give birth to his daughter?" The reporters were not going to let her off the hook just like that. They all gathered around to ask questions. "What was the real reason President Eugene beat up Jeremy last time? Did you really cheat?" Fern could not answer a single question, and her thoughts were in disarray. "We’re h
Fern was chased by reporters. Lena protected her and the two of them quickly got out of the venue. When they arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Lena tried to hail a taxi but there were already people in the vehicle.The reporters behind them were about to catch up to them when a black Maserati suddenly drove over and stopped in front of them.The car window wound down, and the person in the car was Eugene. "Get in." He beamed at Fern. Fern was surprised to see him and did not want to get into his car.However, Lena hurriedly pushed her into the car. "Fern, get in! I’ll distract the reporters."The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. She and Eugene looked at each other. After a moment, she finally got into his car. She did not want to be surrounded by reporters.Eugene's car drove away before the reporters managed to catch up. Fern saw from the rear-view mirror that some of them were trying to chase after the car, while some drove their cars to give chase. "Lose
Eugene frowned. What troublemaker? He did not understand.He hesitated a little and kept quiet. His silence was all Fern needed to conclude that he was behind it all. "Are you trying to ruin me forever? What good will it do you to make everything about my life public?!" He did all that just to stop her from signing a contract with Jeremy's agency? "It'd be fine if you exposed my relationship with you, but why did you expose Rue as well? She’s your daughter!" Fern was furious. She now regretted giving him custody of her daughter very much."You’re despicable! You don't deserve to be Rue's father!" Fern rebuked him one sentence after another, unable to ease her anger."What are you talking about?" Eugene wrinkled his eyebrows at her. He had only stopped her from signing a contract with Jeremy. Why was she talking about Rue now?Fern was so disappointed with him that she coldly said, "Eugene, I'm telling you, the more you stop me from signing a contract with Jeremy, the more I’ll
The events that had happened at the signing ceremony were reported by the media, and those photos of Fern's so-called cheating were also posted online.This instantly triggered public outrage. Jeremy's fans stood united and demanded Fern to get out of the entertainment industry as well as stay away from Jeremy!"Eugene, the bastard!" Fern saw the articles and was furious not because they claimed that she had cheated on Eugene and seduced Jeremy but because her daughter’s existence was also exposed.The articles said that Rue was her illegitimate daughter whom she had with Eugene and that she used her pregnancy to trap Eugene as she thought she could marry into a rich family. However, she did not expect that Eugene knew about her plan, which was why he never gave her an official status.Her wish of marrying into a rich family could not be fulfilled, so she started seducing Jeremy, wanting to drain him of his wealth. Jeremy watched her fume. She looked as though she was ready to cu
"You're right." She smiled back at him.While they talked, Parker and Yuki came over to look for Jeremy."Jerry, are you okay? I heard that you hurt your hand?" When Yuki saw that his arm was really in a cast, she completely disregarded the fact that he had sent her back to the detention center and felt sorry for him."Did you break your arm? Was it because of Fern?" She saw that Fern was right next to him and her anger came surging forth. "You vermin! First, you hurt me, and now, you hurt Jerry. Why don't you just get lost already?!""Yuki, mind your manners," Parker growled at his daughter. "Am I wrong? That’s exactly what she is!" Yuki puffed up and replied. Jeremy frowned and was about to say something when Fern spoke first with a serious look on her face, "I’m not, and I’ve never harmed anyone. You were sent to the detention center because of your actions, so stop blaming me for that. You need to do something about your rotten temper before you really regret it in the futur
Jeremy quickly arranged a press conference. He and Fern attended it together to clarify those rumors on the internet.With the reporters present, Fern spoke about the grudges and entanglements between her and Eugene.She was not his lover. They were previously lovers in college but he later broke up with her.The child was conceived at that time. She had asked him if he wanted a child but he only told her to abort it.She could not bring herself to do so. Even though she was kicked out of the house by her parents, she insisted on having the child.She had no trouble raising the child, but she unexpectedly met Eugene again who pestered her and threatened her using the child. He insisted that she got back together with him.She did not sign a contract with his company, but he took her contract away from Simon's entertainment company.Together with his repeated threats using the child, she was forced to comply with his wishes and stay with him. However, she had always rejected him
