Eugene was meeting one of his friends here tonight. He did not expect to bump into Fern here. He looked extremely cold on the surface. It seemed like he had stopped paying attention to her after casting an icy glance at her. However, he had noticed her exquisite makeup and the elegant dress that she was wearing. It looked like she was here to meet someone important. His eyes gleamed coldly. Did she intend to meet up with Jeremy in secret over here? A gloomy haze loomed over him, but he let out a silent huff at the thought of the agreement that she signed. Regardless of how much she met up with Jeremy in secret, it would be useless. She had promised not to ever get together with him, let alone marry him. Eugene continued walking forward. Just then, he then saw an attendant bringing a few middle-aged men toward the room that Fern had just entered. “This is the room booked by Director Zimmermann. He’s already waiting for you inside,” the attendant said as he opened the do
Director Zimmermann’s expression changed immediately when he saw that she was leaving. He shouted, “Stand right there!” Director Zimmermann’s assistant blocked Fern’s way and stopped her from leaving. She frowned and turned around to look at Director Zimmermann. “Is there anything else?” she asked in an icy tone. Director Zimmermann fixed his gaze on her as he sneered with a cold glint in his eyes, “Stop acting like you don’t know anything. Sit down if you want to be the female lead. Accompany Mr. Stewart well and have a meal with him.” “I told you that I don’t—” Before she could finish speaking, Director Zimmermann’s assistant pushed her to the side of the dining table and pressed her down onto the seat. She immediately avoided him. Although panic bubbled up within her, she still looked extremely calm on the surface. “Go away! What are you guys doing? I told you that I won’t accompany him. Are you guys going to force me?” “How are we forcing you? Didn’t you come here o
Initially, Mr. Stewart was interested in a woman with a fiery temper like her. The women around him were always obedient to him. They were not as interesting as her.However, Fern had slapped him in front of so many people! Regardless of how interested he was in her, he could not put up with her behavior anymore! He slapped her harshly across the face right away. Fern fell onto the ground due to the impact. “You just want to do things the hard way, don’t you? How dare you act all pure and innocent in front of me?” Mr. Stewart yelled at the woman on the ground. Director Zimmermann immediately came over to calm him down. “Mr. Stewart, calm down. She doesn’t understand the rules. You can just teach her.” Mr. Stewart shouted angrily, “That’s right! A treacherous woman like her needs to be taught a lesson!” Fern felt dizzy after being slapped across the face. Besides, she had downed several glasses of liquor just now. She felt even dizzier now. However, she was not comp
Eugene’s expression darkened as he said, “Bring a few men into the room she’s in to take a look. Bring her away if possible.” Regardless of whether she was being sexually harassed, he would not allow her to have a meal with those men. No matter what had happened between them, she was still his daughter’s mother. If her dignity was ruined, their daughter would be affected as well. Although Eugene had not even mentioned Fern’s name, Wyatt understood what he meant immediately. He said, “Yes.” Alas, Euegene still could not bring himself to ignore her completely. Wyatt barged into the room with his men, only to see Fern raising the bottle and smashing it against the skull of the man who was trying to harass her! Mr. Stewart froze. The men beside him were so shocked that they did not react in time as well. He returned to his senses when blood flowed down his head. He glared at the woman underneath him ferociously. He felt like cutting her into pieces! “F*cking b*tch! How dare
Upon arriving home, Fern took out the medical kit and prepared to treat her own wound. She did not expect Rue to return home from school right then. “Oh, Mommy, how did you get hurt?” Rue’s heart hurt so much that she almost burst into tears when she saw the blood on her palm. A hint of panic flashed across Fern’s gaze. “Oh… I went to film just now. I accidentally hurt myself,” she said at once. “Why were you so careless?” Rue blamed her. Nevertheless, her gaze was full of pity. “Huh? Which uncle’s jacket are you wearing, Mommy?” Rue noticed that her mommy was wearing a men’s suit jacket.“It belongs to one of my colleagues. He lent his jacket to me since my shirt was torn after I got hurt while filming.” She did not dare to tell her daughter what she had experienced.“Oh, then I’ll help you treat your wound, Mommy. Change your clothes after that.” Rue did not suspect her words at all.“Alright.” Fern let Rue help her bandage her wound. Her gaze landed on her daughter’s gen
Half of her face had been ruined. She had to put her hair down and use it to cover half of her face now. Eugene told her that he would take responsibility for her, and she had moved into his villa as well. With this, she was no longer as upset. She heard the sound of a car driving into the driveway in the living room. She exclaimed happily, “Is President Eugene back?” The servant beside her replied, “Yes, President Eugene is back to have dinner with you.”A smile appeared on Sydney’s face. Joy bloomed in her heart. She felt like she was already his wife and was waiting for him to come back from work so that they could have dinner together. After a while, the handsome and elegant man walked in. She immediately rushed toward him and took the suit jacket that he had taken off from him. “President Eugene, you’re back.” Eugene nodded and said, “Yes.” He thought of something and told her, “You can call me Eugene at home in the future. You don’t need to address me so courteou
“Fernie, they hung up on us again,” Lena told Fern in a tone of dismay. They had taken the initiative to contact plenty of movie crews but they were rejected by all of them. Fern seemed to have expected that this would happen. She looked pretty calm. “It’s alright. If I can’t find any work now, I’ll just give myself a break for a period of time and take some rest.” Lena was panicking even more than her now. “You can rest for two to three days, but you can’t go on a long hiatus. You know as well just how many newcomers are entering the industry on a daily basis. Everyone is trying their best to gain fame. If you stop here, someone else will take your place soon!” Furthermore, Fern had lost everyone whom she could depend on. She had to do everything on her own now. It was extremely difficult. Fern understood everything that Lena said. She did not want to stop here as well, but she had been banished from the industry. She had no choice but to lay low for a period of time.
Lena felt that it was unfair. “Fernie, they’re being way too much. Should I scold them for you?” “It’s alright. It’s meaningless to argue with them. We just need to carry out our own responsibilities.” Fern looked at her own reflection in the vanity mirror to make sure that nothing was wrong with her makeup.“Hmph, they’re just looking down on us. They’re disregarding us because we’ve been ostracized!” Lena understood how much power those within the entertainment industry held. Just then, someone ran into the room excitedly and exclaimed, “Guess who I saw outside?” “Who?” the others asked curiously. “The president of Newton Corporation, Eugene Newton!” “He’s here for the jewelry exhibition?” The models instantly got excited. “It seems like he was invited. He’s seated in the VIP seat. But it looks like he’s brought a date with him.” “It’s just a date. She’s not his girlfriend. We still have the chance to attract his attention…” Waves rippled within Fern’s calm hear
