Chapter 18 Double Blows
Chapter 18 Double Blows
"Mr. Edison announced your breakup, but you said that he wants to marry you?" Reina found it
amusing, so she did not hide the smile and scorn she felt for Nancy.
However, Nancy did not argue with Reina, instead, she stated, "He''ll marry me sooner orter. Let''s
make a bet if you don''t believe me."
"What should we bet on?"
"Twenty percent of the shares of Wace Entertainment."
Reina snorted. "You''re so greedy. I want to bet with you, but Wace Entertainment is my aunt''s
company, not mine. I can''t decide on this."
"Doesn''t your aunt want you to be a part of the film industry?"
"Yes, she does, but I don''t want to. I like being a model more because I just need to walk the
runway in beautiful clothes, but being an actress is too tiring. It''s very easy to get criticisms if my
acting is bad."
While talking, Reina put her arm on Nancy''s shoulders to hug her as if they were confiding in each
other. "I heard that you epted a role. Is it the leading actress?
"Yeah."
"Work hard at Wace Entertainment. My aunt knows that you''re my friend, so she''ll think of you if
there''s a good resource."
"Help me to say something nice in front of your aunt then. I''ll thank you here."
"You''re wee. Of course, I have to help you with your career since you''ve lost your man."
However, Nancy hated that statement very much. When did she lose her man?
Edison was just throwing a tantrum. When he had had enough fun, she would go and see Master
Yates and coax him well. As long as he gave an order, Edison would beg her to get back together
with him.
Hence, she showed no signs of displeasure. She just patted the back of Reina''s hand gently. "I''m so
honored and lucky to have such a beautiful and loyal friend like you."
Being ttered, Reina grinned happily.
"You talk so nicely. Just behave like this in front of my aunt from now on. She''ll like you."
"Okay, I''ll listen to you."
"By the way, will Mr. Yatese tonight?"
"Of course."
She leaned into Reina''s ear and whispered briefly. After Reina listened to that, she widened her
eyes. "Mr. Yates hired a woman..."
"Keep it low. Don''t let others hear you. You''re the only one I told." Nancy hurriedly covered Reina''s
mouth and reminded her softly.
"So, Mr. Yates is just throwing a tantrum, huh?"
Nancy lifted her chin slightly and appeared very arrogant. "Yes, he''s angry at me because I turned
his proposal down."
"Do you have to pursue your career? Isn''t it good to marry him and be a rich young wife?"
"I can''t ept it to just marry him like this."
While talking, Este quickly walked over and whispered in Nancy''s ear, "Mr. Yates is here with that
Miss Lovce."
Consequently, Nancy''s expression changed drastically because she could not believe what she had
heard.
It was fine even if Edison was making a fuss, but it was her birthday, which was a big day for her.
He should have done her the favor. However, he brought that woman along. It would be a huge
humiliation for her in front of her friends.
The only person who knew the truth was Reina alone except Este. The other ignorant people
would make fun of her.
No.
She could not allow Edison toe in with Gwenyth.
Hence, she got up and pulled Este to the door with her.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
That house belonged to her mother before she passed away, and it was an individual vi that her
father bought. It was located in the best area in Zelicon City. Its price was extremely high and she
heard that many famous people had properties there.
How could anyonee into her house randomly?
She and Este went out. They soon saw a ck Bentley being parked in the yard. Edison got out
of the car while holding Gwenyth''s hand.
Gwenyth was wearing a long ck dress. It was a limited edition of the FIO brand under the Yates
Group, and there were only a few such dresses. Nancy had yearned for one for a very long time,
and she had been pestering Edison to give it to her.
However, he did not do so, and now it was Gwenyth who was wearing that.
As a result, Nancy felt like she had received double blows.
"Eddie."
She forced a faint smile and went to them, blocking them below the stairs.
"It''s my birthday today. I think it''s not very suitable for you to take Miss Lovce here."
Edison raised his arm lightly to hold Gwenyth''s shoulders. He then turned around and was about to
get in the car.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Nancy became anxious. "Wait."
So, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her quietly.
When Nancy''s gaze fell on the dress on Gwenyth''s body, oppression engulfed her and she found
difficulty breathing. So, she felt very ill at ease.
"Miss Lovce, your dress is so pretty."
Gwenyth smiled lightly and replied, "Thank you."
"Juste in since you''re here."
Helplessly, Nancy stepped aside and let them through.
However, Gwenyth was rather terrified. She wanted nothing but to leave with Edison, but Nancy''s
attitude changed so quickly.
She walked alongside Edison while holding his arm into the house. A man with dreadlocks was
ying music in therge hall on the ground floor. It was quite lively. Some very charming young
men and women gathered on the couch or in the corner. Most of them were from the entertainment
industry.
The waiters in white shirts and red ties were either carrying food or drink, walking around the hall.
The people who wanted food or drink could get them from the trays in the waiters'' hands or they
could ask for it at the bar. A bartender who Nancy hired at a high price was there.
Edison sat on the couch with Gwenyth. A beautiful woman immediately walked over and sat beside
Edison. She then tilted her head and looked askance at him with interest.
"Mr. Yates, do you still remember me?"
Edison nced at her and replied indifferently, "No, I don''t."
"I''m Nancy''s good friend, Reina O''gen. We met a few times."
"Is that so?"
Edison did not have much of an impression of her, so he dealt with her perfunctorily.
Reina saw that he did not feel like talking to her. If it weren''t for the fact that Nancy asked her to
greet him and she also yearned to see the woman he hired at a close distance, she would not have
brought contempt upon herself.
Gwenyth felt Reina''s gaze on her, so she smiled briefly at Reina out of politeness.
Reina then smirked. "Mr. Yates, aren''t you going to introduce her?"
"My girlfriend, Gwenyth Lovce."
He did not speak loudly, so only the people nearby heard him.
Consequently, they felt as if they had heard some shocking news before they turned to look at
Gwenyth in unison.
The people who could tell good from bad instantly discovered that she was wearing a limited edition
dress from the FIO brand, and it was not cheap. Her makeup was light, and her temperament was
exceptional. So, a lot of people thought that she came from a powerful family.
After all, it was impossible that Edison would fall for an ordinary woman, so she must be rich and
noble.
Nancy was at the bar waiting for the bartender to make her drinks. Este walked over and stuffed a
small paper bag into Nancy''s hand. Nancy then turned around and opened it to take a look. It was
full of white powder.
"What''s the effect? Is there any side effect?"
She asked Este softly.
"I heard that its effect is pretty good but ites with a bit of side effect. There may be a slight
headache the next day, but it''s different for each individual."
Nancy nodded. There might not be a big problem given how good Edison''s body was.
Edison would soon be hers, and they would enjoy a great romance on her birthday. When Nancy
thought of that, she felt that it was undeniably the best gift for her.
