The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 709

Suddenly, everyone Josh Batton had ever worked with before seemed to have vanished into thin air. None of them came out to speak up for him.

The person who sabotaged Josh must have been unusually powerful to influence so many well-known people to speak against Josh.

“Knock, knock, knock—”

Right then, Xyla Quest could hear someone knocking on the door frantically.

“Come in…” Xyla looked at the door.

Very quickly, the door opened.

Georgie Clementine came in and walked over to Xyla hastily in her high heels…

“There’s someone else behind this…” Georgie said with a frown.

“Who is it?” Xyla asked.

“Shawn Gilbert…” Georgie said.

“Him? Did Josh do anything to offend him?” Xyla asked.

Shawn Gilbert…

He was the son of someone who governed a district in the country.

Shawn was already a middle-aged man, and he had been quite actively investing in drama series and films within the entertainment industry.

He was quite famous in the entertainment industry too.

“Hmm… I just asked Josh about it. He said that the man had been trying to flirt with him some time ago on WeChat. He tried to make Josh his male escort… Josh rejected him…” Georgie said.

“I can’t believe something like this happened.” Xyla snorted coldly.

Georgie nodded. “Yeah… After Josh rejected him, he didn’t tell anyone else about it because he found it rather embarrassing. I only asked him a while ago, and that’s when he told me…

“Josh also said that Shawn texted him on WeChat today just as he left the police station. Shawn told Josh that he would have to give in if he wanted all of this to end. Otherwise, Shawn would make Josh disappear from the entertainment industry for good…” Georgie added.

Georgie felt very angry when she talked about this.

Xyla decisively stood up and walked over to Georgie before picking the phone up. “Show him to my office…”

After saying that, Xyla hung up the phone.

She wanted to see what Shawn was up to.

After that, Xyla tugged at Georgie’s hand and walked her over to the couch. They sat down and waited for Shawn.

When Georgie saw a pot of hot tea on the coffee table, she slowly poured Xyla and herself a cup of tea each…

Very soon, the door opened.

Shawn walked in.

He was a middle-aged man. Apart from being bald, he also had a beer-belly.

Xyla felt disgusted by the sight of his face.

Shawn seemed very arrogant when he looked at Xyla and Georgie. “One of you is the CEO, and the other is the president, right?” he asked.
