“Sorry about that, Ms. Stovall. Vivian didn’t mean it. She’s having a bad day today. Please forgive her!” The manager tried to ease the situation.
She understood fully that business was all about earning money doing everything in harmonious ways. Yet, the celebrity that he represented did not seem to share the same view.
Rebecca was beyond exasperated seeing her manager was not on her side. She got rid of the latter and cast her a furious look. “Don’t you dare to try to stop me!”
The manager froze on the spot helplessly. She had no choice but to give in to her arrogant celebrity.
By then, Rebecca seemed to have recollected herself a little. However, she acted ignorantly toward my threat as she approached me and leaned close to me.
“I’m not the same fool who was easily manipulated by you and Ashton back then. If you know the law so well, you should know there will be no case without a victim. Why don’t you ask Joseph if he wants to sue me?”
Wow, since when does a useless parasite like her who used to rely on others know how to use her brain?
Just then, the elevator opened, and Ashton walked out. Behind him was Nora, who was leaning closely to Nathaniel.
“Just the perfect timing.” Rebecca’s eyes lit up as she shifted the blame first. “Ashton, what a great assistant you have. I merely joked with him slightly. Yet, he and Scarlett want to sue me? What are you going to do about that? Is this how you repay me?”
Ashton’s gaze darkened, and he shifted his gaze toward Joseph. “What’s going on?”
Joseph bit his lip and said, “Mr. Ashton, it’s just a misunderstanding. I will apologize to Ms. Larson now.”
