Jodie furrowed her brows. "Ariel, what's going on with you? What's there to be excited about?"Ariel grabbed Jodie's hand gleefully. "Think about it. What is Boaz's status right now? With his influence, do you think his fans would let a woman who wants to gain fame through him off the hook?"Jodie came to a realization. "You want to use him to go after Yvonne?"The entire entertainment industry knew that Boaz's fans were the craziest. Almost every female celebrity who had worked with Boaz and appeared with him on social media would be boycotted by his fans.As long as Ariel and Jodie instigated this, Yvonne would surely be boycotted to death!That made Jodie excited too. How had she not thought of this? All this while, she'd only been jealous of what Yvonne had!"Ariel, this is a great idea!" Jodie patted Ariel on the shoulder. "I'll go and leak the news about this. I'll find a few other trusted paparazzi to take some shots of Boaz and Yvonne."Ariel smiled. "Hmm, I have faith i
After ending the call, Yvonne opened the calendar on her phone and added a reminder for Caleb's birthday this weekend.Since he was a good friend, she had to prepare a birthday present for him. She thought about it for a while and opened her browser. She started researching what would make great gifts for a person passionate about IT.On the other end, Rachel placed her phone down and looked at Caleb on the couch. She looked at him smugly with her chin up. "Do you want to thank your cute little sister?"Caleb gave her a glance. "In your dreams."Rachel snickered. "You only dare to be like this in front of me. You're still a coward when you see Yvonne. Look at you. You've been by her side for so long, yet she doesn't even remember your birthday. How important are you in her eyes?"Then, Rachel kicked Caleb. "Do you want my help?""Mind your business." Caleb stood up and ruffled her hair. "Just look after yourself."Rachel yelled, "Caleb! I'm helping you get a woman! Why are y
Seeing Stanley leave, Yvonne bent down to say to Elvin, "You see? It's a dangerous place here. A fight could happen at any time. Stay close to me."Elvin nodded and held Yvonne's hand tighter.Yvonne opened the door to see Rachel holding the microphone up high. She was singing to a crowd that was covering their ears.When Rachel sang, she only cared if the notes were high enough. She never cared about whether they were in tune or not.Although it was loud and unpleasant, it always made everyone bawl out laughing. This was her go-to method to liven up the mood.Yvonne led Elvin to Caleb. She handed him the gift they had wrapped. "Happy birthday."Caleb looked surprised. He accepted the gift with both hands. "I never thought that you would prepare a gift.""It's your birthday. A gift is necessary." Yvonne picked Elvin up and placed him on the couch. Elvin leaned closer to her and asked her seriously in her ear, "Mommy, can Aunt Rachel really survive in the entertainment indust
"I caught this jerk harassing Linda at her office." James thought back to how he'd seen Aston forcing Linda into a corner at Finspatial Securities. Getting angry all over again, he stepped on Aston."Let me tell you. Linda was there last time, so I couldn't do anything. Now that you have met me alone, consider yourself unlucky!"Seeing how he'd been stepped on, Aston couldn't speak. Still, he glared daggers at James.James laughed in fury. He took his foot away, bent down, and grabbed Aston by the collar. "Oh, you're not conceding? Come! I dare you to fight me!""Pfft!" Aston spat a mixture of saliva and blood on James' face and snarled, "Who the hell do you think you are? Linda, that bitch—"James sent another punch at Aston. A tooth flew out of Aston's mouth. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.James spoke through gritted teeth. "Let's see how you fare when Stephen gets here." Then, James signaled for the guards to tie Aston up.Half an hour later, Stephen entered
Stephen opened the door and ruined the lively atmosphere in the room.Caleb had just made a wish and smeared some cream on Elvin's nose.Elvin's smile vanished the instant he noticed Stephen. Stephen's expression turned uglier when he saw Elvin's reaction. How dare Yvonne bring his son to celebrate another man's birthday?Xavier was the first to react. "It's a lively celebration! Even Stephen is here!"Stephen said nothing. He walked over to Yvonne and pulled her over.He had just finished dealing with Aston, so he was still brimming with anger.Yvonne could sense a whiff of danger coming from him. She furrowed her brows and tried to pry her hands out of his grasp. "Let go of me!"Stephen suppressed his anger and smiled ambiguously. "Why didn't any of you tell me you were celebrating Mr. Turner's birthday? Am I not your friend?"Yvonne's gaze darkened. "Stephen, don't cause a scene.""You evil man! Let go of Mommy!" Elvin threw cake on Stephen's face. "Let Mommy go!" Steph
Aston was unconscious. Isabel only knew that he had gone to see some friends at Euphoria Smith.In the end, Isabel's father, Conrad Solace, headed over to Euphoria Smith to ask for an explanation.Stanley welcomed the huffing Conrad. "Mr. Solace, you're already so old. Why do you still have such a huge temper?""Stop smiling at me! My son-in-law came here yesterday, and he ended up being beaten up and sent to my door! They even called him a lapdog!" Conrad slammed the table. "This is Northerna City. No one would dare to bully the Solace family. You better have an explanation for me!"Stanley sighed. "Mr. Solace, why are you treating your son-in-law like he is the best thing in the world?"Conrad was baffled. "What do you mean by that?""From what I know, he isn't some scholar with a master's degree from abroad. He is at most a conman who has returned from abroad. You're a smart person. All you need to do is go investigate, and you'll see whether I am lying or not."Stanley con
A frown instantly took over Yvonne's features. "Nonsense.""Yes, I thought you were framed too. From what I know of you, it's hard to imagine that you're the type of person who would secretly promote this." Boaz shrugged. "But netizens wouldn't know that. If it weren't for the program department's influence and spending money to quell this, I wonder what the public opinion would be like."Yvonne looked at him. Why did it sound like he was reveling in her misery?Boaz smiled. "I'm only analyzing it for you. Think about it. If it wasn't you, that means someone was trying to point the arrow at you. Who could it be?"Yvonne understood what he was saying. "Are you saying that I have offended someone from the program department even before shooting?"Boaz snapped his finger. "Smart woman."At this moment, a staff member asked them to head to their respective dressing rooms to change and get ready.In her dressing room, Yvonne let the stylist do her job. She was still mulling ove
"Nothing." Yvonne turned to look at Boaz. "You said a meal, right? Call your manager to join us. The more, the merrier."Boaz was perplexed. Yvonne had just told him that she liked to eat alone. So why was she telling him to bring more people?Yvonne shoved Boaz. "Go, quickly. If not, I won't join you."Boaz left in a daze. Standing in the same spot, Yvonne looked at a tree in the distance from the corner of her eyes. A small flash went off from time to time.Sure enough, she wasn't hallucinating. It was the flash of a camera. Yvonne smiled. She wasn't even a celebrity yet. How were the paparazzi already onto her?This was most likely Ariel's doing. Why shouldn't she go with the flow?…Yvonne randomly picked a restaurant. The moment they entered, the staff recognized Boaz and immediately gave them a private room.Yvonne was the only lady, so naturally, the responsibility of ordering food fell on her.However, when the dishes were served, Yvonne questioned herself. Many of
