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 Cory were frightened by realizing the consequences of their actions, Dennis was celebrating with joy. Dennis asked Romaria to prepare a small party at his house, even though it was still early in the day.
Dennis wanted to invite a model who was very close to his ex-wife, but of course, Romaria had to find the right person because Dennis wanted this event to make Cleo more annoyed than ever.
After asking some of her friends who worked in the modeling industry, Romaria finally found the name Olivia Blue. This beautiful model was close to Cleo, but she also had a fierce argument with her colleague because Cleo's attitude was considered too arrogant.
Initially, Romaria was worried that the woman she invited would not fit her boss's request, but when Dennis's smile widened, she finally felt relieved.
Dennis extended his hand and recognized the beautiful model. "You're Cleo's friend, right?"
Olivia smiled and bowed as a sign of respect to this wealthy man, then asked. "What does Miss Cleo Smith mean, Sir?"
Dennis, upon hearing Olivia's words, immediately cut her off. "Don't call me that. I am your friend, even though maybe you didn't notice me before."
Olivia, realizing her past mistakes, immediately shook hands with this powerful man. "Forgive me for my rude behavior towards you before, Sir. You should know that at that time I ignored you not because of disrespect. But because I respected you as my friend's husband."
Dennis understood those words, so he nodded happily. "Your reason is sweet, Miss. Romaria, leave us alone."
Romaria then left Olivia and Dennis in the living room to let them talk at length.
From Olivia's story, Dennis knew that this woman actually held a grudge against his ex-wife, and now everything was complete because, slowly, Dennis found many similarities with Olivia, who was good at capturing the heart of this heartbroken man.
Dennis looked at Olivia's gentle face and smiled when this beautiful woman continued to say words that made him increasingly convinced that she was the replacement for the traitorous Cleo. "I hope we can get closer, Oliv. Can I call you that so we can be closer?"
Olivia smiled, realizing that the new president of Vanguard Fire Club had received her presence.
"Just say what you want, Dennis. I will fulfill whatever you want."
"Oh, in that case, let's go up to the second floor. Let's celebrate our victory with some light sports there."
They then entered Dennis's room and started to embrace each other, beginning their hot relationship passionately.
Of course, Olivia saw this as an opportunity for herself, considering her career had always been overshadowed by Dennis's ex-wife, and what Olivia felt now made Dennis even more convinced that this woman would be a sweet revenge for Cleo, who cheated behind his back.
Olivia climbed onto the bed and served Dennis well. She didn't expect to receive a barrage of sweet kisses from Dennis, even though she used to think this man was nobody.
As the afternoon approached, they both looked tired on the bed. Olivia's eyes glanced at her phone, her hand itching to capture her time with Dennis, which, if Olivia uploaded it to her social media, would make it the talk of the town at a time when Dennis was ruining Cleo's name.
Dennis's keen eyes immediately noticed something unusual about his female friend, so he quickly asked to know the reason. "Why do you look so strange?"
Olivia smiled and whispered her plan. "Can I post a photo of us together in this bed?"
Dennis grinned and allowed Olivia to execute her plan. "You're very clever. Do whatever you want, Oliv."
Olivia Blue then took a selfie with Dennis. At that time, she only showed her face, while Dennis didn't hesitate to show his face and his hairy chest.
It didn't take long for the photo to attract sharp attention from reporters. Eventually, the news of Olivia Blue and Dennis Brown's closeness became the talk of several online news media in the country.
No!
Cleo screamed as soon as photos of her ex-husband and Olivia, whom she despised, quickly spread in online news. "He can't take my Dennis away!"
"What did you say?" Cory asked, looking jealous at Cleo.
Cleo looked at Cory cynically and closed the screen of her phone, which was displaying Dennis and Olivia.
"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
Dennis and Romaria then headed to the car and arrived at the Vanguard Fire Stadium when the company's Lawyer was already waiting for Dennis at the door of his office. "Good morning, sir."Dennis glanced at the company's Lawyer, who looked neat in a dark blue suit with a bow tie. "Good morning."Romaria then opened the office door so Dennis could sit in his chair before continuing their conversation with the company's Lawyer.Once Dennis sat in his chair, the company's Lawyer continued his report by handing over a file to Romaria."This is a sales report of jerseys for the past week. There is a significant increase in sales of Mr. David's products, so I think you should consider terminating the cooperation with Mr. David."Rom
