“Calm down.”
Henry reached out to squeeze her shoulders. The corners of his lips curled into an evil grin as he watched her expression darken.
“Since we’ve already done it, we should do it until the end. We should kill everyone!”
Joseline was rendered speechless.
She felt like she had lost all her energy. She stumbled on her feet and had to hold onto the edge of the table to stabilize herself.
That’s right. I’ve already been called a murderer. There’s no turning back now. Angeline is the one who forced me to become like this. Since I’m already going to hell, I’m dragging her down with me!
For the next few days, Angeline stayed at home to recuperate. Ever since she used the medicated lotion that Roger sent, her allergies had gotten better. If one did not look closely, it would be hard to tell that there were swelling bumps previously.
Initially, she thought of thanking Roger properly when she got better. However, when she thought of his relationship with Evander, she had no choice but to remain things as they were.
During that time, “The Journey” was released. Only ten episodes were aired, but it already had high ratings.
On the internet, there were many heated discussions about their film. However, the most welcomed discussion was about Alleria, the character that Angeline played.
The netizens were all praising Angeline for making Alleria come to life. Her portrayal of Alleria was exactly like her description in the novel.
There were also people commenting that it had been a long time since they’d seen such a career- driven female lead. Others said that it was refreshing to watch the film.
Angeline was elated to read all these comments. Although Alleria was the one that the netizens liked, this was also an acknowledgment of her acting.
She opened Twitter and posted a photo that Nancy had taken of her when she was filming.
In the photo, she wore a suit of armor, held a sword, and even had blood splatters on her face. She was looking back, and her gaze was sharp and piercing.
That was Alleria’s personality.
Angeline wrote in the caption. “See you at eight in the evening. Please continue watching to see how Alleria tortures those pieces of trash.”
She had only just posted the tweet when good comments started flooding in. Her followers immediately rose to two million.
Meanwhile, at Golding Group, two secretaries stood outside Evander’s office. They had trays of food in their hands as they jostled and debated with one another.
Sylas noticed them and could not help but frown. “What are you two doing?”
“Mr. Miller.”
The secretaries bowed their heads in respect. One of them wore a conflicted expression and hesitated for a moment before she said, “Mr. Golding hasn’t eaten for the whole day. We don’t dare to bother him since the last assistant who brought him food was demoted.”
“A whole day?”
Sylas’ expression turned grim, and a hint of guilt could be seen in his eyes.
He took the food from the secretaries and ordered them to leave. He then pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
Knock! Knock!
He gently knocked on the door and felt his heart ache when he saw the man working at the desk.
“Mr. Golding, you should eat. You can continue your work later.”
“Leave it there,” Evander’s voice was hoarse as he said that. Although he spoke, he did not raise his head to look at Sylas or the food.
Sylas noticed that and stood rooted to the ground with the food in his hands as he waited silently for Evander.
Shortly after, Evander finished the last document. He looked around at the empty table and scrunched his eyebrows in annoyance.
“Go and ask if any more documents need to be signed. I’ll settle them altogether.”
Sylas lowered his head and persuaded, “Mr. Golding, you’ve already settled all the documents in the company. You can’t exhaust yourself like this.”
Although Evander still had a dark expression, he seemed to have relaxed a little.
“Bring it here.”
Sylas quickly brought the food over and felt relief wash over him as he watched Evander finally eat.
“Mr. Golding, ‘The Journey’ started airing, and the ratings are unexpectedly good. Ms. Sorelle is famous on social media nowadays.”
Sylas noticed that Evander’s expression gradually softened after eating. He then plucked up the courage and reported the news to him.
“Okay.”
Evander’s expression turned cold again as he grabbed tissues to wipe his mouth.
The way he looked unbothered made it seem like he had never met Angeline.
Sylas could not help but frown. “Mr. Golding, will we continue blocking her road to fame? Since she’s famous now, I think we can get her to do an advertisement so we can earn more…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Evander shot him a cold and cruel gaze.
Sylas felt a chill run down his spine in an instant, and he stopped, not daring to continue.
Evander scrolled through his phone and noticed that Angeline was indeed trending everywhere. She had posted a selfie on Twitter half an hour ago, and it looked like she was in a good mood.
On the other hand, he felt a stinging pain in his heart when he saw the picture. His grip on the phone tightened, and his expression slowly darkened.
It looks like that woman is having the time of her life these days without me around.
“Does Starlight Jewelry need an advertisement?” He asked coldly as he got up from the chair.
“They do. A new product will be released into the market soon, and they need a brand ambassador. The organizers wanted me to ask for your opinion to see if they should get Angeline to do it.”
“She will do.”
Evander shot Sylas a glare and said coldly, “Continue to block all of Angeline’s other jobs. Make it so that she has no choice but to come to us.”
Sylas was rendered speechless.
He immediately understood what Evander meant. Mentally, he complained about how cunning the latter was.
Obviously, he doesn’t like to see Angeline having a good life. However, it seems like he still has feelings for her. With his influence, it’s easy for him to get her blacklisted. He won’t need to waste much effort if he really wants her out of the picture. It looks like Angeline won’t be having good days ahead. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Meanwhile, Angeline was shocked to hear from Nancy that no other companies wanted her to become their brand ambassador apart from Starlight Jewelry.
Her grip on the microphone tightened as she wondered whether she had heard that right.
“Are you sure? What did the company say?”
Nancy was pissed. At that moment, her voice was even more deafening. “I’ve already confirmed it several times. The people at the company aren’t doing their jobs either. They said you must’ve offended a big shot to be blocked off like this. They don’t give a d*mn about it.”
Angeline was at a loss for words.
Her expression darkened, and the hand on her thigh balled into a fist. Her breathing became heavy.
She had already guessed who the person suppressing her was this time.
What a despicable, cold-blooded man!
Why is he bringing personal matters into work? And he didn’t even block me off fully. He purposely left Starlight Jewelry as bait.
Nancy could guess what Angeline was thinking through the phone, and she hesitated before saying, “Angeline, although the salary given by Starlight Jewelry is higher, I know your relationship with Mr. Golding is at an awkward stage. I can reject the offer if you don’t want to do it.”
“Who said I’m not going to do it?”
