The director stepped forward and explained, "Simone, be it the female lead's temperament or image, Ms. Clarke fits them perfectly, so ...""So how much is Anderson Group going to invest in this web series? Or should I ask how you're planning to curry favor with them?" Simone asked directly, not giving anyone an out. The director and the producer exchanged glances with each other, unable to argue back for a moment. "It's been a while since I had contact with you, Ms. Moore. I didn't know that you have such a strong bias against me," Ariel said softly. Simone found it ridiculous. "So you are aware that you haven't been working for a long time, Ms. Clarke? If I hadn't met you today, I would've even thought that you were planning to give up on your career and settle down as Mr. Anderson's wife. Did you not have a good time? Is that why you're out here again to fight for work with us?" She was aggressive, and it didn't take long for Ariel to be at a loss for words. "Forget it; I don'
After leaving Euphoria Smith through the back door, Nadia and her friends found themselves in a pitch-black alley. They continued running in a fit of panic and ended up at a dead end after taking a wrong turn. One of her friends was so frightened that she cried. "What should we do?" "Worst case, we'll just fight them!" Still holding a broken beer bottle in her hand, Nadia took a step forward and kept her friends behind her. Then she confronted the men who'd chased after them. "What do you want? We're living in a law-abiding society now. Don't think that you can run away from the consequences!" "Tut!" Benjamin spat on the ground. "You can't run away either! Don't forget that you hit my friend in the private room!" Nadia forced herself to remain calm. "That's because you couldn't keep your hands to yourselves! You guys are a bunch of bastards!" "You're quite a stubborn one." Benjamin reached out and rested his arm on his friend's shoulder while leering at Nadia. "I wonder if yo
The next day, Benjamin went home covered in dirt. He'd been grumbling and complaining nonstop since the moment he'd entered the house.When Hazel heard the noise, she walked over to find the source of it and immediately took several steps backward upon seeing Benjamin. "Ben, what happened to you? Did you fall into a garbage dump last night?" she asked, covering her nose. "No. It was a bitch ..." Feeling embarrassed to talk about it, Benjamin turned around and spat on the ground instead. "Damn it. They'd better not let me find them!"He'd asked Stanley for the surveillance footage before returning home, only to find that the surveillance system had been down for a full upgrade last night and nothing had been recorded. How could Benjamin possibly believe that? He'd gotten into a fight with Stanley on the spot. He suspected that Stanley knew the group of women, but he didn't have any evidence to prove it. Besides, Stanley was Stephen's friend. If Benjamin made a fuss about what ha
"I attended a party recently and saw Katie there as Noah's plus one," Simone said, recalling how arrogantly Katie had approached her that day, as if staking her claim on Noah. Simone thought it was absurd. How could she not know what kind of person Noah was? Katie was nothing more than a vice president of a perfume company, and her family had fallen from grace a long time ago. Simone couldn't figure out what made Katie think that she could act like that.Was it because of the sweet nothings Noah had told her at night? Simone had seen those tricks before. She thought that Katie was just like her past self; it was just a matter of time before she ended up doing what Simone had done back then.Simone was able to think about it a lot more clearly now. "Forget it. Who wants to get married into that despicable, wealthy family? I'd rather focus on my career. Besides, there are so many opportunities out there. Losing one doesn't bring any harm. I'd actually been torn between two script
On the same night, a screenshot of a group chat conversation was leaked online. However, the internet was being closely monitored, and it was intercepted before any of the netizens could see the screenshot.Caleb looked at the information his subordinates had submitted and saw that the IP address was from the internal management of Johnson Talent Agency. Meanwhile, Curtis had also managed to get leads indicating that the rumor originated from there. All the clues were clear.Caleb showed the screenshot to Yvonne and said, "They're probably thinking of spreading the news through the fans' group chat. Things like this are pretty common in the entertainment industry. There aren't any photos, so they rely solely on making things up." When Yvonne saw the name of the group chat, she clicked her tongue. "So it's really Ariel." "When did she find out that I have a son? But it seems like she doesn't know Elvin's true identity yet. That's why she's doing whatever she can to spread the ne
"What?" Ariel was so shocked that she almost shot up from her seat.If Yvonne hadn't held her down, everyone's attention would have been on them by now. "If you insist on making a big deal out of it, I can't stop you," Yvonne said calmly. "I'm just concerned that Stephen will end up being criticized for abandoning his wife and son. All the heat will be directed at the Andersons. As the instigator, I doubt you'll be having a good time either. " "You ..." Ariel suddenly grabbed Yvonne's wrist and squeezed the words through gritted teeth. "Don't try to scare me. You aborted your child with Stephen a long time ago. How is it possible ..." "You can go and ask Stephen about it. He took my son to a paternity testing center not long ago." Ariel's face gradually turned pale. It had never occurred to her that Stephen was the father of Yvonne's son. She couldn't believe it!"Don't worry, Ms. Clarke. I'm not interested in Stephen or the Andersons, nor have I ever thought of using my child
Nadia had given Yvonne an invitation card at the beginning of the month. Yvonne had also heard from Rachel that Bernard and Judith had spent a lot of effort and money to pave the way for Timothy in the city. A lot of influential figures in Northerna City were supposedly attending the banquet this time. Rachel tried hard to persuade Yvonne to attend it with her and Andrea, Stanley's mother, saying that Andrea had been wanting to know her.Yvonne couldn't refuse the warm invitation. Hence, she got ready that night and waited for them to pick her up. Andrea started praising Yvonne nonstop from the moment she saw her. "I've always heard Rachel talking about you. Now that I'm seeing you in person, I realize that she's actually been quite modest in her praises for you." Yvonne smiled. "You're flattering me, Mrs. Smith. Rachel often mentions you to me too. She's lucky to have such a good mother-in-law like you." "It's our fortune that Rachel was willing to get married to Stanley. I jus
"Children keep the family together; they're the hope for the future!""Look at how spoiled women are nowadays. They're afraid of getting married and giving birth. When they reach our age, they will understand how good it is to have a child."Yvonne spared a glance at Judith and clearly saw the hint of cunning laced in her eyes. "Tsk, so she planned this," Yvonne muttered inwardly. "Regina, if you hadn't been held up by that bastard, you probably would've had kids going to school by now, right? Just like ours." "Exactly. What a pity. You wasted the best time of your life, Regina." Although the women appeared to sympathize with Regina and sounded like they felt sorry for her, their biting remarks were harsh. Regina couldn't help but look displeased. "Why are you in a hurry to teach people how to live their lives? Do you even understand the lessons taught by the elementary school teachers?" A casual voice came through. Everyone turned to look at Yvonne. One of the women coul
