MasukWhen it came to poaching talent, profit was paramount. Especially for a shrewd and ambitious woman like Vivien.So Sheila employed the most primitive method: offering the most enticing terms, coupled with a sincere heart.After reading the contract, Vivien's face was a mask of disbelief. "Ms. Emerson, I'd like to know, what category of agents at Orange Entertainment are these terms targeted at?""Only you." Sheila sincerely recounted Vivien's shining journey from assistant to golden-tier agent, her eyes reflecting pure sincerity. "My admiration for you is genuine, not empty flattery. As long as you can elevate Orange Entertainment to the next level, I can even promise you five percent equity."Then she stated solemnly, "Ms. Smith, only by joining Orange Entertainment will you truly shine and thrive in this industry!"Vivien had actually looked into Sheila long ago. From Orange Entertainment's multiple crises to the success of , she had always been curious about this
Ryan pushed the door open, letting in a gust of early autumn chill.“Sheila!” His voice held the joyous flutter of a long-awaited reunion, his fingers unconsciously tightening on his backpack straps.Sheila motioned for him to sit. The steam rising from the purple teapot blurred her expression. “Three years, and you’re still…”She surveyed his utterly unchanged attire, then chuckled, “Haven’t even changed your glasses?”Ryan adjusted his signature black-rimmed glasses, his ear tips faintly reddening.They hadn't really kept in touch online during those three years, but every holiday, she'd receive a blessing message from Ryan. They'd exchange a few pleasantries. However, for her wedding with Killian, all of the Ford Group's employees, even the cleaning ladies, had attended. Yet, she recalled Ryan hadn't shown up, only sending her a congratulatory message.Sheila pushed the pastries in front of him. “Have something to eat first; we can talk while we do.”Ryan nodded. “Okay.”Sheila act
Rock's face was ghastly pale, his lips trembling uncontrollably. "Impossible... This is impossible..."He turned to Kane, his voice carrying a last shred of hope. "Mr. Maxwell, quickly, you must find a way!"Kane stared at Maxwell's plummeting stock prices, suddenly noticing familiar account numbers in the transaction details.They were the offshore accounts Killian had used three months ago to acquire scattered shares of Ford."Killian Ford." He ground out the three words through clenched teeth, then crushed the wine glass in his hand with a sudden, forceful grip, smashing it fiercely against the smart screen. Spiderweb cracks spread out from the center of his fist.Toby ripped off his gold-rimmed glasses, the arm breaking into two pieces in his palm."We've been played," his voice was a terrifying rasp. "From the very beginning, this was a setup."The conference room door was violently pushed open. The secretary, looking frantic, followed behind three uniformed investigators. "Mr. F
Under Killian's meticulous operation, the Ford Group's stock price steadily rebounded, and Sheila closed her laptop with a sigh of relief.Just then, her phone vibrated.Seeing a message from Morris, she eagerly checked it."Mrs. Ford, we have news. We found out Ivan has a friend named Norman, an ophthalmologist at Finch Hospital. They used to be in close contact, but Norman disappeared six months ago. If we can find him, we might find some evidence."Sheila stared at her phone screen, her fingertips unconsciously tightening.She immediately replied: "Can you find out more specific information about Norman before he disappeared? Family, address, last known location?"Morris sent an encrypted file: "This is all the information we have so far. He was last seen in a small town on the border of Z Nation, then vanished as if into thin air."After reviewing it, Sheila replied to Morris: "Mr. Morris, I beg you, money is no object!"Morris: "Understood, Mrs. Ford. I will do my utmost."Just t
Kane's eyes flickered at the words.Killian not only didn't help Sheila investigate, but he was actually covering up what happened back then?Why would he do that?Kane pondered seriously for a moment before a sudden flash of insight struck him. He said to Barry, "Besides Sheila, the two people Killian cares about most are Nicole and Andrew. And Andrew is exceptionally close to Ivan.""I suspect this might have something to do with Andrew. Also, Killian once had a corneal transplant. Do you think there could be a connection?"Barry gasped, "Mr. Maxwell, you're not suspecting that Killian's cornea donor was Antony, are you?""This... this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it? It's like something out of a TV drama.""While it's just a guess, it's also the most logically consistent possibility," Kane's lips curved into a perilous smirk. "Immediately investigate in this direction. I want solid proof."Barry replied, "Understood, Mr. Maxwell."After hanging up, a spark of excitement lit
Caroline's hand trembled, her phone nearly slipping. "I... I was just observing the techniques!"Sebastian chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned in. "So, did you learn anything, little fan?"His breath was right there, carrying a faint scent of beer.Caroline's cheeks flushed crimson as she pulled away, taking several gulps of beer to cool down.Before they knew it, they'd finished all the food and drinks.Lying side by side on the blanket.Caroline's cheeks were flushed, whether from the alcohol or simply the joy in her heart, she couldn't tell.She tilted her head back, gazing at the starry sky, and suddenly asked: "Do you regret becoming a celebrity?"Sebastian was silent for a moment, the starlight reflecting in his deep eyes as tiny, fragmented points of light. "With moments like tonight, it's not bad."Then he turned his head to look at Caroline. "What about you? Do you regret it?"She had initially entered this industry for him; they both knew that.Caroline slowly turned her h
"Don't worry," Killian said. "It's a sensitive time right now. Take a few days off and rest."In this situation, the only option she had was to temporarily take a break to avoid the media.Just then, Nicole called. Killian glanced at the phone before answering."Killian, what
The city lights twinkled as the massive cruise ship, like a colossal building, glided across the placid sea.Besides Ben and Killian, they had invited several friends, including Marina, and a few men and women whom Sheila didn't immediately recognize.However, her mental database co
"Who said that?" Nicole gently patted Sheila's hand. "That's other people's business. Our Killian is capable enough; he doesn't need a marriage to consolidate his position. I just want him to be happy. As long as he's happy, that's more important than anything else."Killian put the peeled shrimp o
Upon hearing those words, Kane felt as though he'd been struck by a hammer, his inner defenses crumbling in an instant.He abruptly raised his head, tears welling up and overflowing, his hands scrambling to cover his face, desperately trying to hide the uncontrolled cascade. "How could you
