Chapter 203 Mesmerized
Upon hearing the voices, Alfred ran over in a hurry. He was also shocked when he saw the wound on Nathaniel’s head.
“Mr. Webster!”
“You guys go back first. I want to be alone for a while.” Nathaniel said indifferently.
Be alone?
No, Alfred definitely couldn’t leave Nathaniel here alone unless he wanted to be fired.
He was smart. After thinking about it for a moment, he rephrased his words.
“Mr. Webster, your head is bleeding. If you don’t bandage it, the wound will get inflamed, and you’ll cause trouble for Ms.
Longfellow.”
Nathaniel finally realized something and moved his fingers.
The wound on his forehead affected his nerves, and it hurt.
After a long time, Alfred heard Nathaniel’s low voice.
“Let’s go.”
Janet stood by the window and watched the people downstairs go away. She stared at the car. When the three of them got in the car, she finally closed the curtain.
Despite not caring about Nathaniel, Janet didn’t want him to die outside her door. It might bring bad luck to her.
After dealing with the work at hand, Janet went to sleep as if she had forgotten what had happened to Nathaniel.
Janet went to work as usual the next day.
As soon as she entered her office, her assistant came in with excitement.
“Ms. Longfellow!”
Janet sat down and frowned. “What’s so exciting in the company?” she asked.
She was warning her assistant not to be so excited as to affect the working atmosphere of the entire company.
Janet’s new assistant was very young. She stuck out her tongue and composed herself before handing over her iPad to Janet.
The joy on her face was hard to suppress.
“Ms. Longfellow, look. This is today’s showbiz news.”
Janet raised her eyebrows.
The words on the iPad were large. It was indeed big news.
“Shocking! The investors had Nikki replaced in the new movie!”
“Shocking! Rumor has it that an A-list actress seduced the boss behind the scenes. The boss’ wife caught the adulterers in the act. The actress will probably be gone for some time.”
“Huge news! An A-list actress rejected the unspoken rules of showbiz and offended the boss behind the scenes. Her part in the new movie was downsized to five seconds, and only her back can be seen.”
The various marketing accounts were all trying to take advantage of this opportunity to gain popularity.
Many advertising companies cherished their reputations and terminated contracts with Nikki. The netizens couldn’t believe it.
“That can’t be. That’s Nikki. She’s my favorite female celebrity. Was she really involved in the unspoken rules? However, the timing and location mentioned in the news can be matched with her work schedule. No way! Is Nikki finished?”
“What’s so impossible in the entertainment industry? She was always acting to be a young girl. I knew this would happen.”
Of course, many of Nikki’s loyal fans defended her.
But still, Nikki’s business activities had indeed been affected a lot.
Janet browsed a few news articles and sneered.
She had expected such a result.
Just then, she received a text message.
“It’s all settled.”
Janet expressionlessly put aside her phone and handed the iPad back to her assistant. “Nikki was wrong because she had no contractual spirit and made friends with the wrong person. The entertainment industry doesn’t lack female stars, but it lacks
smart ones.”
Janet didn’t mean to destroy Nikki’s career. She just wanted to teach Nikki a lesson. Nikki had stood her up. She should have thought of the situation she would face today when she did such a stupid thing.
Janet didn’t intend to waste too much time on Nikki. She continued to work after reading the news.
What Janet didn’t expect was that Anastasia, who she had long forgotten about, made a ruthless move after taking Nathaniel to the hospital.
She dialed a phone number.
“I want to ruin Janet’s reputation!”
The man on the other end of the line laughed. “How? What do you want me to do?”
Greed and lust were plain in the man’s voice.
If Janet fell into the hands of such a man, she’d be doomed.
Anastasia stood in the dark, her voice full of ferocity.
“I want her to be ruined. Make a video. If it can be broadcast live, it will be even better. Once it is done, there’ll be generous benefits for you!”
The man smacked his tongue and replied in a cold voice, “Consider it done. Just name the time and place.”
Anastasia looked at the scenery outside the window and narrowed her eyes.
Janet, Janet.
I want to see if Nathaniel will still like you so much after you sleep with another man!
She didn’t understand what Nathaniel saw in this bitch.
Why was he so mesmerized?
Back in the ward, Anastasia glanced at Nathaniel, who was treating his wound on a stool. Fatigue was obvious on his stony face. The madness of the previous night could be imagined.
