"I'd much prefer a new assistant. Ramona is no use to me now since she keeps crying all day."Misty frowned slightly, but soon she continued nonchalantly, "Get me an assistant who won't run her mouth. Ugh, Ramona seriously pisses me off with her stupid crying!""Yes, yes. Got it." Jessica's smile became stiff for a moment, but she still agreed to Misty's demands while keeping her voice nice and gentle.Only good-looking people with rich backers could become famous in the entertainment industry these days. Misty was now Jessica's cash cow. No matter how much Jessica despised Misty's attitude, she still had to treat the latter nicely because of Cedric's influence."How are you faring with the shoot so far? Is it tiring for you? Make sure to raise any problems with me if you do encounter any, alright? I'm your manager, so I'll definitely deal with them properly for you.""I'm fine." Misty didn't care about Jessica's efforts to butter her up. She shot a lazy glance at her phone, n

"Did you hit your head?" The man chuckled disdainfully. "I never expected that a manager as wise and capable as you would do something that dumb.""What do you mean by that?" Jessica perked up immediately as she turned to look at him."A man can do anything for a woman as long as he likes her. Similarly, he can abandon her in a heartbeat once those feelings have receded."The man smiled as he tightened his grip on Jessica's hand for a moment. He continued smugly, "I received intel from a trustworthy source that Cedric Garner is about to get into a business arrangement with Diana Sorsby from the Sorsby family."Ms. Sorsby is no ordinary woman, you know. That diva you're managing is nothing before her."Was Misty nothing before Diana?Of course, she was worth nothing before the Sorsby family, which was one of the symbols of ultimate wealth.Jessica frowned at first, but soon her brows relaxed. A smile bloomed on her face as well. "Excellent! I'm sick and tired of Misty's diva-like

"Nigel keeps reminiscing about his old friendship with you, Mrs. Winchester. He was worried that you wouldn't show up today."Catherine continued smiling sweetly as she addressed Hannah in an overly familiar fashion. "Oh, Mrs. Winchester! Nigel and I are so happy to see you here!"She kept hinting that she was Nigel's actual fiancée the whole time.Nigel's expression darkened immediately. He yanked his arm away before stepping away from Catherine. In an awkward tone, he said, "Stop it, Cath."A flash of embarrassment streaked across his eyes at that moment.Hannah was amused by the engaged couple's interactions. Catherine kept boasting about how amazing her beloved fiancé was. At the same time, she kept thinking that all the women out there were vying for Nigel.Meanwhile, Nigel put on a big show of wanting to stay away from Catherine, but he just didn't have the heart to commit to that action.What a hypocrite."It's only natural for Mr. Winchester and me to attend your engage

Hannah thought it was funny sometimes.She wasn't sure what had gotten into Nigel. He seemed to be extremely touched by her presence and was sending her messages to express his affections periodically.Hannah blocked his number. Her phone constantly notified her that countless messages were being blocked.It was getting on her nerves."I will never trust your nonsense. It doesn't matter how you seduced my brother in the past. It won't work. My brother is getting engaged to Catherine."Lila turned a deaf ear and continued, "Let me warn you: if you make any inappropriate moves, I will get someone to show you the door. A despicable person will always stay despicable. You will never succeed even if you crawl into the circle of the rich.""And who do you want to show the door to?"A cold glint flicked in Darren's eyes. The tension was palpable. "You're very bold, Ms. Moore."Lila's face was drained of color as she faced the oppressive vibe coming from him. She shuddered in fear."D

"Mr. Winchester, you've gone too far."Gregory felt for his daughter. Yet, he couldn't bear the humiliation. He lost his cool and said angrily, "This place belongs to the Moores. Don't you think you should respect the Moores and Langleys while you're here?""Respect? I don't think you deserve any."Darren was arrogant as he smirked. "I can stop your engagement party if I want to."The hotel manager heard the commotion and came over quickly. His head throbbed as he witnessed the mess. He said cautiously with an apologetic smile on his face. "What's the matter? Let's all take a minute to calm down first." "Mr. Winchester!'His face instantly changed when he noticed Darren. He went up to him enthusiastically, "Why didn't you inform us that you were visiting us? Who on earth was dense enough to offend you, Mr. Winchester?""When did the Golden Palace start serving people of such low standards?" With a stern face, Darren scoffed, "Stop this engagement party now!""Mr. Winchester,
