Romaria seemed to start pressing many buttons on Dennis's phone and was ready to copy it as ordered. This kind of task was relatively easy for Romaria because, since working with the Rolin family, she had often been assigned espionage tasks like this.
As the evening approached, Dennis, who was still in the president's chair, welcomed Romaria. He glanced at the handbag behind his assistant's shoulder, guessing it was a flash drive containing CCTV recordings from Cleo's house that he needed. "You're fast,"
"Thank you, Sir. I'm used to doing secret tasks like this. You need to know that I had to play the recording first to make sure this cassette contains what you asked for."
Dennis nodded happily. It turned out to be very easy for him to get back at Cleo. "Oh, so you've confirmed the flash disk?"
Romaria immediately placed a small white cassette on Dennis's desk. "Yes, this is the right cassette. So what do you want me to do with this flash disk?"
Dennis cleared his throat and glanced at the whiteboard beside him. "Isn't Mr. Rollin also the owner of a television station?"
Romaria nodded firmly. "Yes, he is. Then?"
Dennis squeezed his fingers and then pushed the flash disk of Cleo's affair recordings back to Romaria. "Then give this to one of the gossip news reporters so they know the scandal of that shameless woman's affair with a teammate."
Romaria looked hesitant; she certainly didn't want any member of the team in this famous football club to be ruined because of their problems, although she also couldn't deny Dennis's sharp gaze staring at her. "Sir, do you want me to give this evidence to the television station?"
"Yes, do that. I want everyone in this club to understand that marriage status is sacred. So there should be no one behaving unethically in this team."
Romaria nodded and immediately went to the Rollin family television station and conveyed Dennis's intention, which was very dangerous for Cleo, a top model, and Cory, a football field star.
The gossip show producer looked delighted seeing the evidence brought by Romaria. He immediately shook the hand of Dennis's assistant tightly. "You've come at the right time, Romaria."
Romaria frowned. "Why is that, Producer?"
The Producer then recalled the events a few weeks ago when Cleo arrogantly walked on the catwalk and refused to be interviewed by the journalists waiting for Dennis's ex-wife backstage. "It's time for that woman to come down from the stage."
Romaria tried to make the Producer reconsider his plan. "Are you going to support our new president's request?"
"Yes, Romaria. Maybe this sounds bitter, but I don't want a star to forget that she still needs the media for her career development."
"Alright, then I'll wait for the draft news you're going to release, Producer. Make sure this news doesn't lead to our new Club President because I want all of this to go smoothly."
The Producer smiled. "I'll make it soon."
The day passed, and Dennis waited for the news he had prepared yesterday. His eyes kept staring at the TV screen, which, according to Romaria, would soon broadcast the news he wanted.
Dennis's wait ended when a gossip news reporter stood so gracefully on his television screen.
"Good morning. Our news opens with the affair of Cleo Smith with the star footballer of Vanguard Fire Club, Cory Anderson."
Dennis stood up from his seat and put his hands on his hips, facing the recording of Cleo's affair that would be a slap in the face to his ex-wife. "Are you satisfied, Cleo!"
Cory, who watched the unpleasant news first, immediately woke Cleo, who was still asleep at the time.
"Wake up, Cleo. Look at what's being aired on TV."
Cleo woke up with an annoyed face. "What, Cory? Why did you wake me up? I'm still very sleepy!"
Cory looked at Cleo angrily and then glanced out the window. "They're airing our intimate video on television. Who do you think dared to do that?"
Cleo, who was already fed up with Cory's words, then moved her body to sit next to the bed. "What do you mean by video? I don't understand!"
Cory then pointed to the television in front of them. "That, the CCTV video of us making love! Who do you think installed the surveillance camera in this house, Cleo? You couldn't possibly know!"
"What!"
Cleo stomped her foot on the floor and then glanced around the house, looking for the surveillance camera that she didn't know when it was installed. "I'm sure this is Dennis's doing!"
Cory looked frightened when that name was mentioned. His throat felt so dry, as if it were being stabbed from behind. "Dennis?"
Cleo sighed and then glanced at Cory, who looked stupid. Cleo was very annoyed; she knew this news would ruin her career in seconds. "Ah! Damn it! That man is annoying!"
Cory, whose knees trembled upon hearing Cleo's anger, could only fall onto the sofa. Cory had never imagined that the man who used to seem so weak in his eyes could be so cruel to his career. "So what do we do now?"
Cleo vigorously shook her head. "I don't know."
Cory fell silent upon hearing Cleo's words and felt useless at the moment. "Are we defeated?"
As Cory gave up, Cleo quickly got up and went to the bathroom to prepare to meet Dennis, who she still believed could quickly spin the scandalous news.
After getting ready, Cleo left Cory, who was still stunned on the sofa, because for her, she had to keep trying before it was too late.
Cleo then walked to her car. But unfortunately, before she could even start the engine, a horde of journalists who had been waiting for intercepted her vehicle. "Cleo, is it true that you're cheating on Cory?"
Cleo continued to cover her face from the blitz lights that kept hitting her face. "Damn it!"
The journalists continued to barrage Cleo with questions that made Cleo feel low. "So, Cleo divorced because of an affair with Dennis's teammate?"Cleo ran back into the house, covering her face with her bag. "Get out of here!"Cory, who was still on the sofa, then approached Cleo to see what was happening outside the house."What's going on?"Cleo snorted and walked away with an empty gaze. "It's too late. I thought I could fix it, but they all know now, and I'm helpless because of it."Cleo's phone rang, and her slender hand quickly grabbed it. "Hello,"Cleo fell silent for a long time, and her angry eyes looked despondent upon hearing the words from the other end of the line. "Fine!"Cory nudged Cleo's stiff shoulder beside him. "Who was that?"Cleo leaned her back against the sofa and looked at her accomplice with teary eyes. "He's ruined my career.Now I'm no longer the face of famous products, Cory!"Cory closed his eyes upon hearing Cleo's words. "This is scary!"As Cleo and Co
"No! It has nothing to do with you. Just calm down."Of course, Cory didn't believe it so quickly; he immediately grabbed Cleo's phone roughly. "I need to know everything about you, Darling. Don't make me wonder."Cleo, who was not pleased, immediately grabbed her phone again, although eventually, the device fell onto the sofa, and Cory managed to see it. "Give it to me!"Cory's angry face was visible once Cleo realized who was being watched. Cory's face began to turn red as he couldn't contain his anger. "What? You're still keeping an eye on the man you divorced?What's wrong with you, Cleo? Am I not enough for you?"Feeling like this argument was futile, Cleo then stood up from her seat while holding her phone. "I think it's time for me to meet that man; he has to forgive me, and I'm sure he can put me back in my rightful place."Cory firmly grabbed Cleo's hand, trying to stop this beautiful woman's crazy intention. "No! You're mine now. Don't you dare approach that man again. Enoug
Unable to tolerate Cleo's behavior, Dennis's threat was heard immediately. "Get out, Cleo, or I'll make your career even more ruined!"Cleo was shocked to hear Dennis's words and finally just surrendered when the security guards dragged her hands to Dennis's luxurious house's gate. "What?"Cleo finally left Dennis's house after being escorted by the security guards to her car. During the journey, her eyes continued to be teary, feeling foolish for her behavior in front of Dennis, who was angry with her.As the car she was driving almost arrived in front of her house, suddenly, many text messages came in, and her eyes immediately glanced at the screen."[Your contacts have been canceled. Sorry Cleo, but you're boycotted because of your affair, Cleo]."Cleo became even more aware of her mistakes and regretted ever hurting Dennis so much with her affair."He's even more ruthless than I imagined."Cleo's weary legs then stepped into the house, and she sat on the sofa with her head bowed.
Rob sighed heavily and leaned close to Cory's ear. "Meet me after training."Those words suddenly made Cory feel strange hearing them from his coach. Usually, Rob only does something like this for players who have problems on the field during matches.That feeling made Cory continue to wonder about Rob's reasons during training. "It can't be that I have a problem. I never make mistakes on the field."Despite being frustrated, Cory remembered Owen's words assuring his position on the team. Cory continued to train because he knew he had to perform impressively in the upcoming match to maintain his position as a star player for the rest of the season.The training session ended, and it was time for Cory to meet Rob. He walked slowly down the hallway to the locker room where Rob usually talked with players.Cory approached Rob immediately to ask. "Coach, I'm here. What do you want to talk about?"Rob looked around and then glanced toward the coach's room, which was still dark. "I think it
Cory, who didn't get a response from Dennis, then walked towards his car and drove towards Cleo's house. During the journey, he kept grumbling as if preparing sharp words to vent his anger at Cleo.When he parked his car in front of Cleo's house, Cory immediately entered the house and found Cleo crying uncontrollably in front of the screen, which had been playing and replaying news of their affair.Cory, without any pity, immediately grabbed Cleo's hand, who didn't realize his presence. "Do you know what happened to me this morning?"Cleo looked at Cory's newly arrived face and asked. "What happened to you?"Cory, who had prepared his words, immediately shouted. "My career is ruined, Cleo. I'm just going to sit on the bench indefinitely!"Cleo shook her head, realizing that Cory was also ruined because Dennis was spreading the video. "Dennis is truly evil!"Cory pushed Cleo's body onto the sofa. "Dennis? This is your fault, Cleo. If it weren't for you tempting me. I wouldn't be like t
Dennis remembered the name David Smith, which was not unfamiliar to him. Dennis then whispered, "He seems familiar to me. He's the cousin of that annoying guy."The Lawyer nodded. "You mean Cory Anderson's cousin?"Dennis smiled, and an idea filled his mind. "Let me see his partnership with the company."The Lawyer opened a folder containing copies of agreements made ten years ago. "David is the sole supplier of jerseys at the club's official store. David decides the colors and quantities of jerseys we sell there."Hearing the Lawyer's explanation, Dennis frowned. "Decides?"The Lawyer nodded. "Yes, Sir."Dennis grabbed the document and slowly read the agreement made by his father, then found one by one the cooperation clauses that Dennis considered outdated. "I think it's no longer the time for monopolies to exist. This will make him overpowered."The company lawyer approached to caution Dennis, but before the Lawyer could speak, Dennis shook his head. "We need to make a new agreemen
Uh!Dennis smiled sweetly, making their encounter feel like an intensely passionate and unbearable photo shoot.Olivia knew this was what they needed to make Cleo more jealous, and Dennis kept intensifying their kisses, making him seem like the star of this show.Certainly, what Olivia and Dennis were doing encouraged the paparazzi outside the restaurant to take even more intimate pictures, Dennis's smile widened, and he realized his partner supported his revenge plan.After feeling that the photos taken by the paparazzi were more than enough, they then sat at the table Dennis had reserved, and soon, the waiter approached them to start serving their warm lunch.While lunch was still ongoing, photos of Dennis and Olivia taken by the paparazzi were finally picked up by the gossip media in Vanguard City, and it didn't take long for Cleo to find out.As Dennis wanted, Cleo was consumed by jealousy until she felt like smashing the screen in front of her."Damn it! Why do they have to broad
Of course, that statement was met with cynicism by David. "Are you sure you're going to help me, Cleo? I'm not sure."Cleo grabbed David's hand, who was sitting in front of her, and then smiled with a confident expression that this time her plan would work. "I want us to work together against Dennis. I believe this plan will return you to your starting position, David. Isn't that right, Cory?"Cory, still drunk, quickly nodded to reassure David of what Cleo said, but David still frowned, not convinced."First, tell me what your plan is, Cleo. I don't want to worsen my situation with your ridiculous plan."Cleo then began to whisper her plan to Cory and David. Cleo didn't want any of David's servants to overhear and potentially leak the plan until Dennis knew about it.After laying out all her plans, David, who initially didn't favor Cleo's arrival, finally smiled again. "I think the plan makes sense. I'll get Owen to execute your plan, Cleo."Cory smiled at Cleo and praised her. "I di
