《Miss Nobody Is Taking A Backfire》 Chapter 1 Time Travel Mission! Chapter 1 Time Travel Mission! In the hospital of JZ City. Shirley Xia slowly opened her eyes. Her head pounded as pain raked all over her body. Grey walls loomed over her as the scent of formalin entered her nostrils. Ignoring her splitting headache, she tried her best to recall what had happened. She was reading a novel before dozing off. It was the one that had attracted her attention because of all the cliche and overused plot lines. After finishing the book, she had fallen asleep. She had no idea why she was in a hospital. The door opened. Shirley Xia immediately tilted her head up as the next few words shot out of her mouth. "What''s wrong with me?" she asked hurriedly. "Am I dying or something?" Suddenly, a chuckle echoed across the ward. It seemed that the temperature had just dropped by a few degrees. She shivered at the sound. Without another word, she nced at the people who had just walked it. She wasn''t expecting to see a handsome man in a business suit. With such a strong jawline, he could''ve been a popr star. In fact, he exuded the same arrogance of one. But why would such a mane to her room? Puzzled, Shirley Xia nced at the woman standing beside him. Her eyes were bright and shiny, and there was just something about her that emitted child- like innocence. In fact, she looked exactly like... Wait! Shirley Xia froze. It felt as if her whole world stopped before her. How could they look like the main characters in the novel that she had just read? "Who are you?" she demanded. Damon Ji and Ka Lin? Were they really standing in front of her? "Your leg was hit, not your brain," the man sneered. "Don''t act stupid. I didn''t expect that you''d actually hit my car on purpose." Although the first half of his words weren''t in the book, thetter part was. It was exactly what the hero had said to the supporting character. When he said it, Ka Lin pulled his sleeves. "Don''t say that. No one would do such a thing," she stated. "Even if she risks her life, it means that she''s willing to pay for everything..." The words in the book yed over in her mind as Shirley Xia could feel goose bumps all over her body. At this point in time, she couldn''t tell whether this was real or a dream. She pinched her arms, trying to get a hold of herself. "Look, I''m fine," she cut in. "You can go now." From what she had remembered, her character wouldtere to a miserable end. She would be banished to Africa to act as a prostitute. By then, she would have slept with plenty of men. In the end, she would be met with death. Even if this was just a dream, she didn''t want it to morph into a nightmare. While Shirley Xia was thinking, a mechanical voice sounded at the back of her mind. "Wee to Light of Mary Su. I''m Sam, and I''ll be your personal consultant. Now, you''ve be the supporting role in the story The Star Girlfriend of the Master Devil. If you''ll be able to humiliate the hero and the heroine, you''ll umte experience points and upgrade. Once you reached level twenty-three, then you will be able to leave. If you failed your mission, then you''ll stay in the book forever. You will also meet your miserable end." What the hell? What the hell did he just say? "Are you crazy? I want to go home!" she eximed. "Every time you''ve seeded in upgrading one level, there will be a reward waiting for you that could help you in advancing the plot line. Good luck." The monotonous voice disappeared in an instant. "What did you say?" When Shirley Xia came to her senses, she saw Damon Ji stalking towards her. It was then when she realized that she had just yelled out of surprise. It seemed that both of them had heard it. ording to the plot, Ka Lin wanted to give up on Damon Ji because of her, which only made the man despise her more. Thinking of the task, Shirley Xia decided to bite the bullet. She sneered, "Didn''t you hear what I just said? I won''t be repeating myself. Get the hell out of my room!" "Don''t be angry, Shirley. I-I just heard that you couldn''t forget him and how you married his brother just to piss him off. If you...if you really feel that way, I''ll leave him," Ka Lin stated softly. At her words, Damon Ji''s face darkened. Shirley Xia had half of her mind not to punch the woman. It was as if Ka Lin wanted her to disappear in the face of the earth! If she couldn''tplete her mission, then she would not only be banished to Africa, but she would also die from mria! There was no way in hell that she was going to let that woman win. "Really?" Shirley Xia forced a smile into her lips. "It''s not the first day that you know I like him. Why didn''t you leave then?" At this point, Shirley was already getting into her role as a vicious character. "I didn''t expect that you''ll love him that much." Ka Lin cowered under her gaze. Even if she didn''t scream at the woman''s face, the heroine looked as if she was about to cry. "You didn''t expect what? You know for a fact that I was engaged to him, and you''re still with him. Do you think you can take him away just because I wasn''t that interested in him anymore? Don''t be so ridiculous," Shirley continued. Fortunately, since she had just read the book, she knew what had happened all throughout the story. Being the heroine of the story, Ka Lin had eighty percent of the men in the book after her. In fact, they would do everything to help her as if they were some dogs waiting to be praised. Other women Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. who were introduced in the book were either her friends or antagonists ready to rip her life apart. Shirley hated how spineless Ka was portrayed. That was why she had hoped that the supporting actress would give her a hard time. Now, she was handed that task. She wanted to w her way out of this book. What if her mission failed? What would happen to her then? She was now at level zero, and at this point...she knew she had to think for herself. Shirley clenched her fists and red at the woman in front of her. Before she was able to take her yapping, Damon pped her across the face. "How dare you talk to her like that?" he bellowed. Shirley felt blood rushing up to her face as she directed her re at him. "What the hell? How dare you hit me?" she snarled. Although Damon''s domineering aura crushed her confidence, she needed to hold on and restrain herself. There was no way she was going to be defeated like this. "I''m the heir of the Xia Film Company. Who are you? Without your brother, who even knows you? Have you even earned a single penny? And you think you''re deserving of you parent''s money?" Shirley continued. Although he was handsome, he didn''t suit her taste. While she was reading, Shirley always hated reading about Damon. She had tons ofints regarding the rich CEO standing before her. He didn''t earn a single cent for thepany his parents had built. Instead, he lounged around and fell in love with a nobody. His face flushed red. "Are you asking for death?" "It''s none of your business, is it? Now get out of here!" Shirley rang the bell beside her bed to call the doctors in. "If you''re not afraid of losing face, then fine. Stay here all you want." If this was any other day, Shirley would''ve shrunk back at the re he was giving her, but she forced herself to stand her ground. "So you''ve finally learned to y hard to get?" Damon sneered. While they were talking, the nurses and doctors finally came in at the sound of the bell. When they saw Damon standing in front of Shirley, they couldn''t hide the fear that crept up their faces. He turned towards them. "Miss Shirley is fine now. Get her discharged." "How dare you?" she yelled. She had just been in a car ident, and her body still hadn''t recovered. Half of her legs were still numb, and bandages covered her limbs. How was she going to walk? How could he do such a thing? "Do you even know who I am? I''m the sessor of the Xia Film Company!" "The Xia Film Company?" Damon snorted. "It will be gone soon enough." In the plot of the original book, what Damon had said touched the readers. He might be strong and handsome, but he was also willing to risk everything for his lover. However, what he had just said simply disgusted the hell out of Shirley. Damon didn''t even have the ability to throw her out. He only relied on his brother to run the family business, and then he used that money to help Ka rise to fame. At this point, they were nothing but leeches. Before Shirley could add anything, a nurse forcefully helped her up. The other nurses packed up her clothes. In just a few minutes, she was already thrown out of the hospital Damon drove Ka away from her. When the car passed by Shirley, she could see the mncholy and self-pity all over Ka''s face. The sight sickened her. "You''ve upgraded to the first level and got your reward. When will you use it? Now orter?" Sam''s mechanical voice sounded. "Later," Shirley said after a pause. "Okay. As your level increases, you will need more and more experience points. Good luck!" She didn''t even know how to reply. Seeing as she had nowhere else to go, she decided to take a taxi home. The supporting actress in the text married his brother, Samuel Ji, in order to take revenge on Damon. Once she had arrived, Shirley made sure to be quiet. While Damon was only pretending to be a dangerous tiger, Samuel Ji was the real beast of the household. In fact, the Ji Group wouldn''t be where it was if it wasn''t for him. However, it suddenly urred to Shirley that Samuel Ji was just the adopted son of the Ji Family. All he had done was to pave the way for Damon''s sess. Later in the novel, he finally knew the truth about his identity. After a long time wallowing in pain, he transformed into an evil man. He killed his parents out of cold blood. He only chose to turn himself in after Ka had convinced him to. "What did you do?" A calm voice sounded behind her. Shirley froze. The chandelier in the hall suddenly lit up, and the bright line reflected in Shirley''s eyes. She raised her hand to shadow herself, feeling like a criminal in an interrogation room. There was a huge French window located at the other side of the hall with a leather chair right beside it. A man in a ck shirt sat there. One of his hand was holding a newspaper while the other was holding the light switch. Although he appeared casual, there was something about his voice that sent chills down her spine. Chapter 2 Mutual Use (Part One) Chapter 2 Mutual Use (Part One) Shirley couldn''t help but pity the supporting lead. Seeing this, she decided to tell him the truth. "I went to find Damon, but then I was misunderstood by Ka. Damon hurried to exin to her, and then he hit me! When I woke up in the hospital, he told me that I hit the car on purpose, when I didn''t! You know what? I don''t even want to talk about it anymore," she stated. The more she talked, the more upset she felt. Now that she was in Level 1, it would be harder for her to upgrade in the future. When would she be able to go home? Would she even go home? "Are you sure it''s a misunderstanding?" Samuel finally put down the newspaper he was holding and stood up. He walked over to Shirley, cornering her. His dark eyes were as cold as night. "You don''t love me, and I don''t love you. Why are you asking so many questions?" As soon as she finished, Shirley could feel her heart tightening at the sight of his narrowed eyes. Suddenly, she wanted to take back everything she had said. "You''re my wife. Shouldn''t I be asking why you''re seducing my brother?" Samuel seized her by the neck. "In fact, you have the audacity to cheat on me so openly. How dare you?" "I..." "Don''t forget why you''re here. Damon loves Ka, not you. If you were half as kind-hearted as that woman, you wouldn''t even be in this situation," Samuel sneered. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Upon hearing his words, Shirley clenched her fists. Kind-hearted? That woman was kind-hearted? Ka was a bitch who wanted to bring her to her deathbed! In fact, that self-piteous woman was going to be the death of her. Shirley felt blood surging through her veins, as she had the urge tough at everything he had said. In the novel, everyone thought that Ka was the kindest human being in the universe. Not only was she innocent and lovely, but she was also incredibly beautiful. A sense of powerlessness made Shirley even angrier. If such a woman would''ve been born into the real world, she would''ve already been trampled on the amount of people she had pissed off! She wouldn''t go anywhere in life. "I''ll keep that in mind." Shirley raised the corners of her lips and bravely brought herself to look into the man''s eyes. "If that''s the case, then I hope you don''t forget who you are as well. You''re just an adopted son of the Ji Family. No matter what you do, no one would even remember you. You think you''re trying to help them, but you''re simply helping the enemy. You''re nothing but a self-righteous idiot!" Samuel was immediately irritated by her words. He threw her onto the wide sofa and towered over her. "What the hell did you say?" "Oh, what a pity. You''ll know it one day." Staring into his angry eyes, Shirley grew even braver. Her only task was to reach the full level. She couldn''t care less if this man was alive or dead by the end of it. Samuel grabbed her neck and forced her closer. His voice was cold enough to freeze her over. "Are you asking for death?" "I just¨C" Before Shirley could finish, he bit hard on her thin lips. Her skin broke from the pressure as the smell of blood wafted around her. She tried to push him away as tears ran down her cheeks, but Samuel forced himself against her. His lips against hers was enough to make her suffocate. In all her life, she had never met such a domineering man like Samuel. When he threw her onto the bed, panic and fear rushed through her system. Shirley whimpered under his grip. "Samuel!" She hit him against the chest. "I love Damon! You''re nothing but a dog for the Ji Family, right? And you think you can fuck his ex-fiance? Get a grip!" She could see the anger and pain hidden inside the depths of his gaze, but in a second, they were gone. "Fuck off!" Regardless of her injury, the man threw her out of the bedroom. In the next few days, Shirley would stay at home to recover from her injuries. She had just married Samuel, and the two of them felt nothing for each other. The only reason they got married was because he needed a wife. She only married him because she wanted to take avenge herself. In short, they were simply using one another. There weren''t any strings attached. As she gradually recovered, Shirley was trying to find another opportunity to upgrade, only to be hit by another crisis that the Xia Film Company was going through. The scandal was all over the inte. It was said that the CEO of the Xia Group was having an affair with a female star. Not only that, but he was alsoundering thepany''s money so that it could evade its taxes. Shirley''s father was the current president of the Xia Film Company. Upon hearing the news, he promptly cked out in anger. He had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital to recover. Soon enough, the news became more and more rampant. Their stock price began to plummet, and all their partnerships began to cancel. The projects they were about to start were on a standstill. Even Ka, the famous movie star, terminated her contract with the Xia Film Company. Although she had to pay for damages, it was a drop in the bucketpared to the copse that herpany was about to have. Shirley gritted her teeth, feeling agitated. She could remember this happening in the book, but she had skipped over that part. She had never been interested in business anyway. ''What the hell am I going to do?'' If herpany would fall, then she was done for. Flustered, Shirley thought of the mechanical voice. "I want to use the reward opportunity now," she demanded. "The first option is to increase your skills. Your irvoyance, strength, medical skills would all be increased. However, the skill level would not be able to exceed the host''s. The second option is to open a box to solve the current predicament." "The second option," Shirley said hurriedly. Chapter 4 Every Word Stab In The Heart Chapter 4 Every Word Stab In The Heart In the crisis of the Xia Film Company, many smallpanies had terminated their contracts with it. Among the few TV dramas that were about to shoot, there was a big IP that was adapted from the work of a famous writer. The investor valued Ka''s fans and appeal, and selected Ka as the heroine. But now, with the help of Damon, Ka had terminated her contract with the Xia Film Company. The investor was unwilling to change the heroine, so Shirley had no choice but to negotiate with Ka. In the cafe. Sitting opposite to Ka, Shirley couldn''t tell that she was the girl who had been innocent in the beginning of the novel. She was wearing thetest T-shirt of the season and a bag of the limited edition, looking casual and noble. Damon knew that Shirley made an appointment with Ka. Afraid that she would be bullied, he came with her. "Shirley, what''s up?" But her tone was still soft and weak, which made Shirley want to overturn the table. She stirred the coffee slowly, and the sugar and milk mixed perfectly. "Before you terminate the contract, I signed a TV drama. Now the investor must let you act in it. So I want to talk to you and see if you can help me finish this drama for the sake of the help from the Xia Film Company you received." Shirley tried her best to keep a low profile and didn''t want to cause a dispute. However, Ka seemed to be in a dilemma. She turned to her and said, "Shirley, thank you for cultivating me and giving me resources. At that time, I really treated you as my friend, but I didn''t expect you to treat me like thatter... I''m really hurt..." It''s none of my business of your injury, okay?! Shirley roared in her heart. What''s more, after signing the contract with the Xia Film Company, Ka knew Damon. Then she fell in love with Damon regardless of the engagement of Damon and Shirley. Since then, love begot hate, and Shirley had been setting up Ka and even kidnapped her again and again. Out of her expectation, the meaning was distorted in Ka''s mouth. Shirley put a restraint on her anger and continued, "I apologize to you for what happened in the past..." At this time, the rm rang in her mind, "the host is about to fail." Shirley was shocked and almost forgot that her task was to embarrass Ka and Damon! "If apology works, will it be fine as long as I apologize to you after I stab you?" Damon said with a gloomy face. Shirley gritted her teeth and said, "Damon, since you said so, why don''t we settle ounts with each other! You were engaged to me, but you still fell in love with Ka. Later you fell in love with her, but you said that I was jealous and that you were just working together... Later, I became more and more extreme, so you just found an excuse to break off the engagement with me. Then you were with Ka... Tell me, how did you two fall in love if there was really pure working rtionship between you two? !" "I don''t want to talk nonsense with you." Damon said with a long face. "Don''t leave in a hurry." Shirley stopped him. The rm bell in her mind had slowly faded away. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Ka, I just want to ask you a question today. You promised me that you didn''t have any improper desire for Damon. Then why did you be his fianc¨¦e now? !" Under the reproach of Shirley, Ka''s eyes slowly turned red. She said, "I know I don''t deserve Damon, so I never dream of being with him. But I had never seduced him. There was something wrong with your rtionship. I didn''t agree to be with him until you broke up." It seemed that she was innocent after saying that. Although Shirley was angry, she tried her best to keep calm on her face. "You said you took me as your best friend, and then my fiance became your fiance now? Ka, I don''t know if you are shameless or not! " Shirley''s voice was not loud, but her words were powerful. "Shirley, you are more and more like a shrew now." Damon sneered and pulled up Ka, who was about to cry, and whispered, "Ka, there''s no point in talking more. People like her won''t understand." What a loving couple! "Damon, I..." "I know." Damon held Ka in his arms and called his bodyguard, "drive this woman out!" After saying that, he raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Shirley. "As I said, the Xia Film Company will soon disappear!" Embarrassed, Shirley was driven out of the cafe by Damon. Last time, Shirley still had the confidence to ask Damon that how dare he! ! But now, the Xia Film Company was on the verge of bankruptcy... Shirley endured her anger. After dinner at home in the evening, the investor called to her, "Shirley, you said you had a talk with Ka. What''s the result? ?" "Please give me some more time... I will persuade her..." Shirley said slowly. However, the person on the other end of the line said bluntly, "I invested in your project because I''m interested in the huge fans of Ka. Without Ka, yourpany will be a loser even if you go to shoot online dramas!" "I..." Before Shirley could say anything, she was hung up. She felt depressed and ufortable. She held her cell phone and sat on the swing downstairs. The night wind blew gently, making her feel a little cold. It was autumn now. Looking at the starry sky, Shirley wanted to cry for the first time. She was just a college student who had just graduated. She was not the supporting actress in the book at all! It was just because they had the same name and it happened that she read the novel, why did she enter the book? If she couldn''tplete the task, she would die! She missed her parents so much... Shirley clenched the rope of the swing, tears streaming down silently. Why was it so difficult to go home? Her crying sound was particrly quiet and helpless in the night. "I want to go home..." She sobbed intermittently. The swing suddenly stopped, and someone pulled the rope behind it. A colder voice came, "it''s so noisy." Shirley quickly stopped crying and turned around, looking at the person in front of her with her wet eyes. It was Samuel. "I''m sorry." Shirley wiped the tears on her face. "Why are you crying?" Samuel looked down at Shirley sitting on the swing and asked coldly. Shirley had too much to say, but... Both Samuel and Ka were fictional characters made up in novels. How could he understand her sadness? Shirley forced a smile and said, "I miss home." "I will arrange for you to visit your father in H Country in a few days." Said Samuel. "I can''t go back." There was a hint of despair in Shirley''s voice. After what had happened in the cafe today, her experience point had only increased by a little. She really didn''t know how long it would take for her toplete the task and return to reality... Samuel remained silent. He raised his hand slightly and put it back. He said coldly, "the wind is blowing. Go back to your room." However, Shirley never knew how to give up. After a sleep, the next morning, Shirley was revived again. Since Ka couldn''t agree her request and she couldn''t give up this project, Shirley decided to take the risk to find new actress to y this drama. This drama was an innocent campus idol y, and that was why Ka, who had a pure image, was chosen. Shirley quickly made a decision and began to send people to look for new actress in each college. When the investor heard the news, he was furious and withdrew the capital. She had lost the capital, and the project was about to start shooting. But she had already paid the fees of the scriptwriter, and all stuff had been hired. Therefore, Shirley had no choice but to continue it. She sold several of her apartments and invested in the drama. Because this story was fresh and touching. As long as it was well shot, there would be a market for it. On the other hand, Shirley knew well about Ka''s acting skills. She was supported by Damon and hadn''t been trained from a formal college, nor did she have any talent or spiritual energy. In fact, maybe it would be better if not using her as the heroin. Shirley cheered herself up in her heart. When the TV series started shooting, in order to focus on the shooting quality, Shirley followed them to the film and television city. "Director Zhao, thank you. I bought some food. You can have some with us." Shirley said to the director. While they were talking, she heard a familiar voiceing from her back. Subconsciously, Shirley looked at the direction where the voice came from. It was exactly Ka! Shirley''s mind was in a mess. Didn''t Ka say that she wouldn''t take part in this drama? Then why was she here? While she was thinking, Ka and Damon, who was beside her, had alreadye over. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. "Shirley, what a coincidence!" Ka smiled as if she hadpletely forgotten the previous unhappiness. Damon snorted and said, "I don''t think it''s a coincidence. Someone did it on purpose." Shirley raised her eyebrows. She knew what to do without Sam''s reminder. "Damon, when did you start to talk like a woman? You can directly say that I met you on purpose. " Shirley said sarcastically. To be honest, she didn''t expect to meet them here at all. Damon''s face changed, "what did you say?" Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Ka hurried to mediate, "Damon didn''t mean anything else. He just thought it was too coincidental." It seemed to be an exnation, but in fact, it was more annoying. Didn''t he doubt her? Thought Shirley. With a smile at the corners of her mouth, she asked, "does Miss Lin suddenly regret and want to take part in this y?" Damon scowled, "how could Ka y such a bad quality drama like yours! The film and television city is not owned by your family!" "Is that opened by you?" Shirley said sarcastically, "I think Mr. Ji really has nothing to do. You don''t need to work or make money. You can only stay with your fianc¨¦e every day and make trouble everywhere." Damon''s face darkened. Every word of Shirley was stabbed in the heart. Especially for Damon, he had long hated the days when he was overwhelmed by Samuel''s brilliance. But because of hisck of working experience, Samuel was still in charge of the group''s big and small affairs. Chapter 5 Find New Actress (Part One) Chapter 5 Find New Actress (Part One) "What did you say?" Damon was furious, "you know Ka is screening a new y here, so you deliberately set your own y here. Now you are ming others?! Is this what you want! You''re living a miserable life, but you still want to drag others into it!" ming? Shirley sneered in her heart, but she didn''t show it on her face. She still smiled and said, "Why are you angry? Are you angry because I''m right? It''s unnecessary, Mr. Ji. You can do whatever you want. Just a few words can make the Xia Film Company go bankrupt and make it difficult for me to move a single step. I think you should be proud. Although you don''t work hard for these powers, connections and resources, you are born with such good luck. How many people envy you?" Damon was getting more and more irritated. He called the bodyguards to surround Shirley. The sturdy men wore ck T-shirts, and their clothes seemed to break. Shirley couldn''t help but feel panic, but she tried to pretend to be calm. She looked at Damon and said, "What do you want to do?" In public, no matter how capable Damon was, he wouldn''t hurt her. Shirley tried to calm herself down. "Take off her clothes." Damon sneered. His smile was cruel and sarcastic, showing his superiority over others. Ka had been keeping silent all the time, allowing the conflict between the two to escte. Her face sometimes showed a worried expression, as if she was a kind-hearted and pure girl. It was not until then that Ka grasped Damon''s hand and said, "Don''t be angry. Shirley is not on purpose." "Ka, you are always so kind. What should you do if bullied by others? You will get hurt..." Shirley didn''t have time to listen to their sweet words, because the bodyguards had already grabbed her shoulders and caught her. Even though Shirley was about to run away as fast as she could, she was still caught back. In the eyes of these bodyguards, her struggle was as weak as that of an ant. "Damon, you will die a horrible death! ! !" Pressed by the bodyguards, Shirley knelt on the ground and Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. shouted in humiliation. She didn''t want her tears to fall. While they were talking, Shirley''s denim jacket had been taken off. "You''d better worry about yourself first." Damon smiled and held Ka in his arms, watching Shirley being humiliated. The bodyguards took off Shirley''s clothes. Shirley tried her best to struggle, but her hands were firmly held, unable to escape. When the corner of her shirt was lifted up, she waspletely desperate. At this moment, she forgot who she was and where she was. She only knew that endless hatred wrapped her whole body and she felt infinitely helpless. "Let me go! ! !" Shirley roared. More and more people gathered around them, including the director and actors of the y that Shirley invested in. They just watched. They just looked at her. No one came to help her. Because that man was Damon, no one dared to offend him. Shirley struggled madly to stop those people from continuing to peel off her clothes. But she was too weak. "Let her go!" A cold voice came through, neither high nor low, but everyone could hear it. Then, Shirley felt that her body was freed. She quickly stood up and tidied up her clothes. Her hair was in a mess, and her eyes were red, but she did not fall a tear. A suit jacket was put on Shirley''s body. She looked up along the hand. She only saw Samuel''s usual indifferent face. He held Shirley tightly, and his face seemed to be covered with ayer of haze, and there was a bit of cruelty in his eyes. His voice was calm but dangerous. "Damon, Shirley is your sister-inw. If you don''t know how to respect others, I will teach you." Damon had thought that a big shot woulde to save Shirley, but when he saw Samuel, he looked at him with disdain and arrogance. Damon said to Samuel in a frivolous tone, "Brother, why do you meddle in this matter. We all know that you and this woman are just nominal couples. As long as I don''t tell you today, no one knows. As for those people... " Damon nced at the actors and directors that Shirley had attracted. He continued, "They don''t dare to spread this to the outside world." Samuel was unhappy to hear what Damon said. Then he thought of that night when Shirley was sitting on the swing alone and crying. He thought that this woman was actually very pitiful, so he couldn''t bear it. Samuel released Shirley and walked towards Damon step by step with cold eyes. "Damon, have you forgotten who gave you everything you have now?" Samuel reminded Damon to restrain himself. Hearing Samuel''s threat, Damon wanted to retort him. However, Ka, who had been watching the drama aside, realized that the situation was not right, so she quickly stopped Damon and gently persuaded him, "Damon, forget it. You''ve really gone too far on this matter. After all, Shirley is a girl, and Samuel is your brother. You are a family. Don''t hurt the harmony." After saying that, Ka turned to Samuel and said to Samuel in a pitiful tone, "Samuel, don''t be angry. Damon just went too far because of anger. For the sake that he is your brother, please forgive him, okay?" Ka was good at using her delicate image. Tears were welling up in her eyes, as if they were about to fall the next second. Shirley remembered that the men in the book liked Ka the most. She was kind- hearted and knew how to think for others. As long as she opened her mouth, they would give in. But this scene was really ironic in Shirley''s eyes. As expected, after hearing Ka''s words, both Damon and Samuel''s expressions softened, especially Samuel''s. When he looked at Ka, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be able to melt the ice. A smug smile shed across Ka''s eyes. She thought this way worked best. Would Ka really care about the harmony between the two men? Would she really care about Shirley? It was just that she heard Samuel threaten Damon. If things got worse and Samuel was angry and stopped Damon''s card, she would lose her way of earning money, so she had to calm down Damon and Samuel. It was all for herself. After saying these words, Ka ran tofort Shirley. She hugged her gently and said, "Shirley, are you okay? I was so scared just now. I couldn''t persuade Damon myself. I''m sorry to make you suffer." Hearing this hypocritical tone, Shirley felt disgusted. She even dared to hold herself. Did she think that no one saw her expression of watching the fun just now? Shirley pushed Ka away at once and said, "Fuck off!" In fact, Shirley didn''t use much strength to push her away, but Ka kept stepping back until she fell to the ground, pretending to be weak. But in the eyes of others, it was Shirley who pushed her to the ground. Chapter 6 Find New Actress (Part Two) Chapter 6 Find New Actress (Part Two) Damon rushed over and helped Ka up. He pointed at Shirley''s nose and scolded, "Shirley! Are you out of your mind! Come at me if you can. Why did you bully Ka? " "It doesn''t matter. Shirley was just too emotional. She used too much strength by ident. After all, anyone who meets such a thing will be angry. I can understand her. Since she doesn''t like me, let''s go." Ka immediately hugged Damon and began to pretend to be a good person. Her tone was still so Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. considerate, and even Samuel, who had just helped Shirley, looked at her with dissatisfaction. Shirley rolled her eyes andined in her heart, ''Are you serious? It were you who humiliate me in front of everyone just now, okay? I''m the victim, but why should I be regarded as a guilty person after Ka''s few words? Oh, by the way, ording to the plot, Shirley is just a supporting actress. No matter how badly she is hurt, she deserves it. Well, I, Shirley, don''t believe that.'' Shirley didn''t want to see their faces or talk to them anymore. She turned around and left. She hated Damon even more, but it''s not toote for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. ''When I''m strong enough, I''ll pay back ten times the humiliation you brought to me today!'' She made up her mind. At this moment, Sam''s cold mechanical voice sounded again, "You didn''t humiliate the hero and heroine sessfully. On the contrary, you were humiliated. Points deducted! Points deducted! You have to hurry up. You are in danger now!" In her heart, Shirley shouted at Sam, "I know! You don''t have to remind me! Damn! The experience point was really deducted. When can I go back home!" When Shirley got home, she was in a bad mood. All she wanted now was to take a shower and have a good sleep, hoping to forget the unhappiness in her sleep and regain her strength tomorrow. When Samuel came back home, he saw that the light in Shirley''s room was still off. He thought that she hadn''te back yet. So he opened the door and found that Shirley had fallen asleep on the bed. He thought to himself, ''this woman is really strong. How could she fall asleep after such a thing happened?'' Samuel shook his head and felt that he was thinking too much. There was no need to worry about her. Sure enough, he couldn''t underestimate her. Then he quietly closed the door and went out. What he didn''t know was that the moment he closed the door, Shirley opened her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye It dripped on the pillow and left an obvious water stain. In fact, Shirley couldn''t fall asleep at all. But in order to make the Xia Group rise again and make herself return to the real world as soon as possible, she had to cheer up and force herself to fall asleep as soon as possible. In the morning, Shirley woke up early and came to thepany in her best spirit. This time, she gathered all the shareholders asst time and discussed with them about changing the protagonist. Standing in front of the meeting table, Shirley said, "Well, everyone knows that Ka terminated the contract with ourpany, but our investor only believes in her. So now we have no way out. Our best way is to find a new way!" After saying these words, Shirley was actually very nervous. She didn''t know if this method was feasible, so she had to go all out! One of the shareholders asked, "have youe up with any idea?" "Of course!" Shirley said firmly. "We need to find a new actress. Compared with Ka, who often appears on the screen, if we find a new actress with pure temperament. She will bring different visual experience to the public. At that time, we will achieve our goal." Shirley pointed out the current situation of thepany, but this method could not be agreed by everyone. Some shareholders were dissatisfied. "I don''t agree with you! This method is too risky. I know you young people like to take risks, but the Xia Group can''t afford such risks now!" Shirley had expected this. She asked the shareholder, "Well, do you have any other better way except the one I said?" Another shareholder said, "Shirley, he''s right. This method is too risky. Don''t forget that your father started the Xia Group from scratch. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Shirley remained silent, but if she didn''t give it a try, the Xia Group would never be able to turn over. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and said, "Dear shareholders, today I, Shirley, swear that I will bear all the consequences alone. Please support me. Believe me, I will definitely let Xia Group create a new glory!" Hearing Shirley''s promise, all the shareholders were speechless. After a fierce discussion, the shareholders chose to believe Shirley. Finally, Shirley got their support and finalized the n. As one of the shareholders, Samuel didn''t attend the meeting that day. But he would know everything about the Xia Group. When he heard about Shirley''s decision, he didn''t say anything, as if a looker-on. Seeing that Shirley was busy looking for a new actress, Samuel couldn''t help saying, "don''t you think what you have done will be in vain in the end?" Shirley knew that Samuel didn''t believe she could make it. "How do you know if you don''t give it a try? Let''s wait and see."'' It was very difficult to find a new actress. Some famous actresses distained the Xia Group, and on the other hand, they couldn''t leave a refreshing impression as Shirley said. However, those new actresses didn''t have enough acting skills, and it was toote to cultivate them now. Shirley was really having a headache. She had to find a new actress as soon as possible. That day, when she walked on themercial street, she raised her head and saw an advertisement that was being broadcast. The girl in the advertisement had a pure and energetic face, which was more suitable for the requirements of this TV drama than Ka''s kind and harmless face. Shirley quickly took out her phone and asked her assistant to contact the girl''s agent. When the time and ce were settled and everything was ready, there would always be idents. In a well decorated cafe, Shirley was talking with the agent of the girl she liked. But what she didn''t expect was that Agent B, who had already taken a fancy to Ka, was sitting at the table behind her left. In fact, Agent B didn''t expect to meet Shirley either. Not only could Shirley not see her, but also could she hear their conversation clearly. When Agent B heard that they were discussing about the actress of the new y, she took out her phone and put it beside her bag, secretly recording the conversation between Shirley and another agent. Chapter 7 Online Criticism Chapter 7 Online Criticism Shirley had deliberately asked her assistant to reserve a cafe for their discussion. This cafe was well decorated and more importantly, had good concealment. She was afraid that if too many people see her, her n might be given away. But she didn''t expect that she was still encountered by someone. And what''s worse, it was Ka''s agent B who saw her. In fact, the decision that Shirley wanted to choose a new actress was confidential information ofpany. She intended to give the audience a surprise when the TV series was broadcast. Only she and her assistant knew what Shirley was going to discuss with the new actress''s agent. Shirley nned to discuss with the investors in person after she arranged everything. After the actress and directors were confirmed, Shirley directly took theplete n to find the This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. investor. With her eloquence, she was confident to convince the investor to invest. Then there would have nothing to do with Ka. However, things didn''t go as she wished. It was the second day that Shirley met the new actress''s agent. News about Shirley meeting the new actress agent alone had been exposed on the Inte and entertainment newspapers, and even video had been posted. It was not until Shirley''s assistant told her in a hurry that she knew this. She opened a website, only to find the distinct and bloody title that almost pissed her off: The Boss of An Entertainment Company Had Broken Her Promise with A Popr Female Star, Making the Entertainment Circle Angry! Shirley opened the video and found that everyone could recognize Shirley as long as he was not blind. She could even hear her voice clearly. Obviously, this popr female star was referring to Ka. After watching the video, she found that thements below were even more infuriating. Usually, when it came to this kind of thing, there would definitely be a lot of keyboard men and nders. "The editor is so euphemistic by using the expression of " the boss of an entertainmentpany". Judging from her profile and voice, this is certainly Shirley. I didn''t expect her to be so shameless!" "I heard from the first floor that it''s really Shirley. She''s really stupid. How could she be found doing such a thing? Ha ha." "Poor Ka! She trust Shirley so much. I didn''t expect that she would cheat Ka. Who recorded this? I really hope Ka can see this video as soon as possible. Don''t be kept in the dark by this bad woman." "Where are Ka''s fans?! We must seek justice for Ka! !" There were morements and more offensive words. At the same time, Ka was also watching the video and reading thements. Ka was very proud to see that all theizens supported her and criticized Shirley. As soon as she finished watching the video, Shirley''s phone rang. The word "investor" appeared on the screen. Shirley braced herself to answer it, but before she could speak. "Shirley, what''s going on? The Inte is full of news that you broke your promise. Didn''t I say that I would invest only if Ka acts in the drama? Who allowed you to change the actress without my agreement? ?" "Please don''t be angry. Let me exin. My opinion is..." But before Shirley could exin, the investor interrupted her. "Don''t exin. Don''t find any excuse. I am determined and I don''t ept anyone except Ka! Now, you''d better think about how to solve your problem of breaking your promise." "Du Du..." The investor hung up the phone immediately. Shirley put her hand on her forehead and sighed, but she told herself, ''Shirley, you can''t be defeated!'' She must figure out the ins and outs of the matter. Looking at her phone, Shirley found that the nickname of the person posted the video was Mr. B, and he had only posted this one video anonymously. So this was the ount he had just applied for. The purpose was very simple. He wanted to destroy Shirley. Through the video, it could be seen that this person was sitting behind Shirley. It was also because of Shirley''s carelessness that she did not find anyone recording the video. Therefore, Shirley decided to go to the cafe to ask. There should be a surveince video. As long as she asked the people working in the cafe for it, she would know who wanted to frame her. If Shirley came to the cafe and directly said that she wanted to watch the surveince video, they would definitely not agree. Shirley came up with an idea. "Hello, I stayed in your coffee shop to deal with my business the day before yesterday. When I left, I found that my wallet was left here. I didn''t find it until today. Did you see it?" Shirley asked the worker in the cafe politely. "No, we didn''t see it when we were cleaning. I''m sorry." The staff said apologetically. Shirley used her acting skill and pretended to be anxious, saying, "then what should we do? Many of my credentials are in my wallet. They are very important to me." Seeing that Shirley was so anxious that she was about to cry, the waiter couldn''t bear it and said, "how about this? We have a surveince video in our coffee shop, or we can show it to you. You can check if someone took it away by ident." Hearing the waiter''s words, Shirley''s eyes lit up. That was exactly what she wanted. "Is it inconvenient for you?" Shirley still pretended to be embarrassed. "It''s okay." As expected, Shirley saw the surveince video. When she saw clearly, she found that the person sitting behind her was Ka''s agent. mes of fury were ignited in her eyes and she was angry. It turned out to be her. She didn''t expect that she would get into the trap set by her. It was really a good y. Ka refused to act in the TV drama and lost Shirley''s face, so Shirley wanted to find a new actress. But now, she didn''t expect that she would be so unlucky to meet her agent, and Ka made a false countercharge. Now she made a fool of herself in the entertainment circle and everyone scolded her for breaking her promise. Ka yed the victim image again. However, while this matter was not over, there was another incident happening. Just as everyone was still talking about the video, Ka threw another big bomb. After watching the video, Ka felt that it was not enough. She needed someone to make a scene, and that person was herself. Ka asked her agent to record a video for herself. In the video, Ka said, "Hello, everyone. I''m Ka. The purpose of this video is to rify the topic that you are discussing. In fact, Shirley didn''t break her promise on purpose. I was because my schedule is too full. Shirley might not have contacted me and thought that I couldn''t ept this TV series, so she contacted the new actress. In fact, it''s not like that. I''m willing to take part in this TV series, even for the sake of Shirley. I beg you not to me Shirley anymore. She did nothing wrong. It''s all my fault. I have been too busy. Please don''t hurt her anymore. After all, she is also my best friend." As soon as the video was released, everyone knew that Shirley was "the boss of an entertainment wanted to make Shirley never have a chance to make aeback. "My Ka is so kind. She even spoke for others when she is bullied." "Shirley is so shameless. Ka still treats you as her best friend. How could you do this to her? What a bitch!" "Ka, how could you speak for her? She doesn''t deserve you to do this to her. Stay away from her, or you will be destroyed by her." Thements on the Inte criticized Shirley again. As soon as Shirley found out who wanted to hurt her in the cafe, she was framed by Ka again. When she arrived at thepany, there were already a group of reporters waiting for her at the gate. Seeing that Shirley finally showed up, the reporters swarmed over, raising their cameras and microphones and pointing them at Shirley. "Miss Shirley, Miss Shirley, why did you betray your good friend, Ka?" "Miss Shirley, although you broke your promise, Miss Lin, Ka, spoke for you. Is there anything you want to say?" Shirley was confused. Who did speak for me? Ka? The assistant finally helped Shirley out of the crowd and told her to watch the video released by Ka as soon as possible. After watching the video, Shirley waspletely desperate. Facing the huge public opinion and pressure from the investor, Shirley was forced to almost give up. Dragging her heavy body back home, Shirley slumped into the sofa, feeling like weeping but had no tears. Coincidentally, Samuel happened to go back home. He felt a little sorry for Shirley when he saw her. Samuel was frightened by his thought. Samuel had heard about what happened today. He also thought it was not appropriate for Shirley to contact the new actress in private without discussing with Ka, and thought that Ka was really kind. But when he saw the curses on the Inte, he felt that a girl should not have born so much. Moreover, she just wanted to restore her father''spany as soon as possible. She couldn''t help but care about her. "Hey! Are you all right? Are you okay?" "Yes, I''m fine." Said Shirley, gritting her teeth. "I advise you to ask for Ka''s forgiveness. Although you did something wrong, I think a kind girl like Ka will forgive you. Besides, she said she was willing to act in your TV series. Why did you make such a mess?" Samuel was still defending Ka, which made Shirley''s heart ache. Now she finally understood why the supporting actress in the book hated Ka so much. "Yes, yes. In your eyes, Ka is an angel and I am just a pile of mud on the ground, okay? Please don''t talk to me anymore. Go ahead with your work." Shirley thought if she continued to listen to what Samuel said, she would be so angry that she might die on the spot. She needed some time to calm down and think about a strategy. Otherwise, she would end up like the result of the female supporting role in the original novel¡ª¡ªin the end, she would be ruined by Ka and would never go back home. No, she would never let this happen. Seeing that Shirley was so unreasonable, Samuel didn''t want to say anything more to her. When he went back to work in the study, he felt sorry for her again. ''She was pitiful? What''s wrong with my brain?'' He thought. Chapter 8 There Is Something Wrong With The Contract Chapter 8 There Is Something Wrong With The Contract It was until now that Shirley really knew what helplessness was. She was taken to this damned ce just because she had read a book. Not only did she not have families and friends around, but everyone around her was on Ka''s side. Now she just wanted to be alone. But at this moment, thest voice that Shirley wanted to hear rang out -- Sam. "Your current experience point has returned to zero." Sam''s voice was as mechanical and cold as the voice of a human service. Just now, Shirley, who was still in despair, suddenly stood up and couldn''t help shouting, "Why? ?" Because the living room was very quiet, so there was even an echo. When Samuel, who was working in the study, heard the cry of Shirley, he stood up instinctively and wanted to go out to have a look. But thinking of the woman''s attitude just now and thinking that she was not worth it, he sat back. But he didn''t know why, he always had an impulse to go out to have a look. He tried to restrain this impulse and told himself again and again in his heart, ''you are not a real couple. You are just using each other, so don''t meddle in her business.'' But Samuel couldn''t know that Shirley shouted this to Sam. At this time, Sam''s voice rang in Shirley''s mind again. "Recently, you have been tricked by Ka for two consecutive times and failed to humiliate the hero and the heroine, so your experience point is zero. If you don''t find a way, you have to stay in this world forever." This time, Sam still reminded her cruel consequence with a rx tone. Shirley rolled her eyes in her heart. Well, it was quite human, but could he not tell her the cruel reality in such a rxed tone? Now she wanted to die, but Shirley was so stupid that she even wondered if she would go back if she But Sam stifled her thought again. "Let me remind you. Please stop thinking about it now. If youmit suicide in this world, you will never be able toe back." Shirley was speechless. I just thought about it casually. How could you hear me? Sam replied, "of course, I know what you think. Please keep going and gain more experience points! " Shirley had no choice but to continue walking forward. Thinking of her parents, she became motivated in an instant. She thought for a while calmly. At present, she''d better not start with Ka. Although she said she was willing to act, Shirley knew that she had already refused her. Therefore, at present, he still had to carry out the n to discover a new actress. She returned to her room and tried her best to be sober. She took out the contract to sign the new actress, which was basically drawn up by the new actress''s agent. Shirley read it from beginning to end. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn''t tell what it was. After all, she was not a professional. If it was the original Shirley, she might have found it. But now she was just a university student who had just graduated without any social experience. To be honest, it was the first time she had seen a contract. Shirley had no choice but to read it again and again. She surfed the Inte little by little to search for relevant information. It had been already midnight without awareness. Samuel finished his work in the study and found it waste. He was about to take a shower and go to bed. However, when he passed by Shirley''s room, he found that the light of her room was still on. He ignored it and went straight back to his room. But somehow, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn''t fall asleep, as if there was a force pulling him to see Shirley. After struggling for two hours, Samuel still didn''t fall asleep. He lifted the quilt, got out of bed and opened the door. As he expected, the light in Shirley''s room was still on. He walked to the door, hesitated for a long time, and gently knocked on it. After a while, no one opened the door for him. He was about to turn around and go back to his room, but when he thought of Shirley, he felt it necessary to care about her. Samuel slowly twisted the doorknob and pushed the door in. To his surprise, Shirley fell asleep on the table. Theputer was still on, and it showed that she was searching for information about the contract. He also saw a contract for signing actors on the table. Thinking of what had happened these days, Samuel guessed that this might be a contract for signing a new actress. Samuel picked up the contract on the table and read it from beginning to end. After reading the contract, he really felt that Shirley was a stupid woman. She didn''t find such a big loophole in the contract. If the contract was settled, then something bad would happen to her. Stupid woman! Shirley was awakened by the sound of paper turning. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a person standing beside her. She rubbed her eyes and saw clearly that the man standing in front of her was actually Samuel, who was holding the contract she had just read. She suddenly woke up. Shirley suddenly stood up and grabbed the contract from Samuel''s hand. Samuel was frightened by her sudden move and took a step back. Before he could say anything, Shirley shouted angrily, "who allowed you toe in? How dare you touch my things! Get out!" Hearing Shirley''s shout, Samuel still looked calm. He turned around and left. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he said, "There''s a problem with the contract. Believe it or not, it''s up to you." Hearing Samuel''s words, Shirley turned a blind eye to it. She thought to herself, ''it''s impossible. I''ve read this contract several times. It''s in the correct form and the requirements are all urate. There''s absolutely no problem!'' But on second thought, Samuel must be very experienced since he had been in the business world for many years. Besides, there was no need for him to lie to her, because they were partners. If something happened to her, he would not get any benefit. However, she had yelled at him just now, and it would be too embarrassing if she went to ask him now. Wandering in the room for a long time, Shirley stamped her feet and decided to brazenly beg Samuel. Dignity was nothing. She''d better solve the problem in front of her as soon as possible and return to the real world! Shirley tiptoed to Samuel''s room and knocked on the door. "Mr. Samuel? Mr. Samuel? Are you asleep?" There was no response inside, but the door opened by itself. Seeing this scene, Shirley also went in. She found that Samuel was sitting at the table and looking at theputer. She gritted her teeth and slowly approached Samuel. "Mr. Samuel? I have thought carefully about what you said just now. I think it is necessary for you to point out the mistakes for me." Shirley put the contract in front of him. Shirley really hated her ttering look now, just like the eunuch in the ancient China. But what could she do? As long as Samuel was willing to help her, she could do anything. Samuel didn''t say anything and silently took the contract. "Thank you, Mr. Samuel!" After saying that, Shirley sat down on the chair next to him. "I really doubt the value of your bachelor degree in finance and management. It''s so obvious that you are not smart enough to notice it." Samuel''s words scared Shirley to sweat. She didn''t have such a high education, okay? Why did the author put such an excellentbel on a supporting role? "Yes, yes, yes. Please grant instruction." Shirley tried her best to be humble. Samuel nced at her indifferently and continued, "The problem is that although the contract stiptes that the breaching party shall bear the loss, there is no specific standard. So once the other party breaks the contract, you don''t have enough evidence, and the court won''t ept it. Because the problem of breaking the contract can''t be determined, then the loss or penalty will be meaningless." Hearing Samuel''s words, Shirley was suddenly enlightened. She quickly looked through the contract and found that there was really no such terms as how much responsibility the other party should take if it broke the contract. Therefore, once the actress wanted to terminate the contract, she would not lose anything because of theck of evidence. However, Shirley would be in trouble. She would have to bear all costs including the training expenses of the actress. By that time, the Xia Group would be even worse. It turned out that there was such a big trap. Fortunately, Samuel was there and helped her fine it. However, on second thought, she thought that this agent was so shrewd that she set such a trap for her. Damn it, I still wanted to cultivate this actress well, but I didn''t expect... As expected, it was not easy to be a supporting role. It was too miserable to be a woman! Samuel looked at Shirley, who was suddenly enlightened, suddenly thought about something carefully, and suddenly gnashed her teeth as if she was going to kill someone. He felt it interesting. He didn''t find that this woman had so rich expressions. He didn''t realize that he was looking at the woman next to him with a smile. All of a sudden, Shirley turned around and said happily, "thank you, Mr. Samuel!" Just as she turned around, Samuel also turned his head quickly. He didn''t expect that he would look at her for so long. He coughed awkwardly. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Then Samuel changed back to his usual expression as soon as possible, "well... Well, go back now." Seeing the strange look on Samuel''s face, Shirley couldn''t help but look at him a few more times. She was so anxious just now that she didn''t notice that Samuel was so... Sexy? Samuel was wearing a night robe with a dark V cor. Through the cor, one could vaguely see Samuel''s chest muscles. She didn''t expect that he had such a good figure. Shirley had never seen him dressed so casually before. He was not as serious and cold as usual, but looked more rxed. No, No. It''s not the right time for Shirley to be anthomaniac. She shook her head and told herself in her heart, ''so many problems haven''t been solved yet, but you are actually anthomaniac. You really should be beaten.'' What''s more, in the novel, the supporting actress and Samuel have no emotional connection. They just make use of each other. That''s all. After warning herself in her heart, Shirley became much sober. She stopped thinking and went back to her room to sleep. Chapter 9 Observe Carefully Chapter 9 Observe Carefully After saying goodbye to Samuel, Shirley went back to her room to sleep, although she didn''t have much time to sleep. But she had to sleep. On the one hand, she had to calm down the emotion that she shouldn''t have just now. On the other hand, she had to raise her spirit so that she could face more challenges. She knew that upgrading was a long way to go. However, in the dead of night, Shirley, who was lying on the bed alone, missed home again. She could be loved by her parents at home, and maybe she could find a job now. She didn''t expect to be taken here just because she had read a romantic novel. She missed her parents and friends so much. She wanted to return to the real world! Thinking of this, Shirley''s eyelids became heavy and she slowly fell asleep. Just when Shirley was asleep, she had a dream. She dreamed that she hade back home. When she opened the door, her parents had prepared her favorite dishes, waiting for her, as usual. She dreamed that she went shopping with her friends and went to the amusement park together. Shirley smiled happily. But the man in the other room couldn''t fall asleep. Shirley''s smile kept shing through Samuel''s mind. He forced himself to fall asleep, but the figure of that woman had always upied his mind. It must be because they had lived together these days, so he always thought of her. Samuelforted himself like this. Shirley had a good dream all night, while Samuel had a sleepless night. The second morning, when Shirley woke up, she found that she was still in this damned world. Everything had not changed. It was just a dream and she felt so lonely. However, even so, she had to work alone to change the fate of the supporting actress! On the table, although Shirley had only slept for a few hours, she was in a good condition. But Samuel was eating with obvious dark circles under his eyes. Samuel didn''t want to be seen by Shirley, but when they had breakfast together in the morning, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, so they were still found by Shirley. Looking at the dark circles under Samuel''s eyes, Shirley felt very guilty. She thought she must have disturbed his sleepst night. Although the two of them didn''t have any feelings for each other, she should thank him. Shirley thought. "Well... I''m sorry to bother youst night. But thank you very much for helping me find out the problem of the contract. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. In order to thank you, I have decided that you can ask me to do one thing now! " Shirley gritted her teeth and decided that no matter what request Samuel put forward, she would try her best to do it. Hearing how Shirley thanked him, Samuel said helplessly, "I only have one request. Can you be smarter and use your brain when you do things. Don''t forget that we two are in the same boat now. If I didn''t find anything wrong this time, I would also be implicated in your ident in the future. How can you defeat Damon and achieve our goal in such a desperate situation?" "Oh, I see. I know I let you down this time. I won''t do that again. " Samuel was surprised that Shirley agreed obediently. If it were in the past, Shirley would not listen to him. She would have her own opinions and think that Samuel was verbose. But he would never know that Shirley had changed. Although her appearance was the same, the soul living in it hadpletely changed. In fact, Shirley was not stupid. She could understand what Samuel meant. But sheined in her heart, ''he means I''m stupid. But I don''t have a double bachelor''s degree. Of course I don''t understand the contract.'' She even beat around the bush to curse her. Didn''t he dislike her for dragging him down? However, she had to be humble when she was trapped in an inferior situation. She had no choice but to agree obediently. Moreover, what he said was not wrong at all. Afterining, Shirley felt much morefortable. After saying that, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly and lowered their heads to eat breakfast silently. In the past, Samuel had never looked at Shirley in the eye. He just had thought that she married him because she saw Ka have taken Damon away and she just wanted to revenge on Damon and Ka. He had thought that she was a vicious woman and would do anything to take revenge. Before she married him, Samuel thought so. But after the two got married, Shirley found that Shirley seemed to have changed into another person. She used to be domineering, wily and capable, as if there was only darkness in her heart. But after this period of life, he felt that his understanding of Shirley seemed too one-sided. These days, Samuel seemed to have known Shirley again. He found that sometimes Shirley was just like a fresh graduate university student who was confused. Taking the contract for instance, as a person who had double degree in financial and management, how could she not notice the problem? Sometimes, she was as childish and funny as a child, and often talked to herself, totally different for the past Shirley. Samuel looked at the woman who was having dinner with his research eyes. Wasn''t she the same person as before? It was impossible. She looked exactly the same as before. He had never paid attention to Shirley before. Now he saw her beautiful long hair cascading down to her waist, and her wavy hair at the end of her hair made her look mature and sexy. Different from Ka, who was obedient and innocent, Shirley''s appearance was stunning and easy to remember. With smooth and clean forehead and heroic eyebrows, a bit of toughness of a man was added. She had a pair of beautiful eyes like gems, long eyshes, upturned nose, red lips and white teeth. She was very beautiful without makeup. At this moment, Shirley had put on a light make-up, which made her more attractive. If Ka was a light ink painting, then Shirley was a painting with heavy colors, each with its own merits. In the past, he only thought that Ka was the most perfect girl in the world. But today, after observing Shirley carefully, he found that she had a face that was not inferior to Ka''s at all. Moreover,pared with Ka''s usual soft, pitiful and lovely style, Shirley seemed to be livelier and her style was more varied. At this time, an unknown strange feeling was slowly growing in Samuel''s heart, and he didn''t even notice it himself. Shirley focused on eating and felt a pair of fiery eyes staring at her. She looked up and saw Samuel staring at her as if he was going to eat her. She thought guiltily, ''why does he look a little angry? Did he hear what I said in my heart just now? Could he read people''s mind? It was impossible! It was impossible.'' But Shirley was still nervous by his stare. After breakfast, Samuel proposed to send her to thepany in case she would cause any trouble. Although Shirley was ttered, she refused him. She knew that after the contract incidentst night, Samuel would definitely think that he would give up the n of finding a new actress and would ask for Ka''s forgiveness to let her act in the TV y. However, it was impossible, because there were no "give up" in Shirley''s world. Besides, he didn''t know the truth. So now she was not going to the the lie would be exposed. Shirley, who took a taxi, came to the actress''s agency early to talk about the contract, but the reporters arrived earlier than her. On the way to work, Shirley''s assistant called her and told her not to go through the front door. Therefore, in order to avoid the reporters'' siege, Shirley obediently entered thepany through the back door, but she still did not avoid the reporters. The moment she got out of the car, she was blocked by a group of reporters, and countless microphones reached out to her. "Miss Shirley, Ka had already agreed to act in the TV drama. Why are you here to meet the new actress?" "Shirley, why did you terminate your contract with Ka? Why did you give up Ka? Have there been a conflict between you two for a long time?" "Miss Shirley, what do you want to say about Ka''s video?" "Miss Shirley, what do you want to exin about the matter that you changed the actress without informing Ka?" "Shirley, as far as we know, the investor asks Ka to be the heroine. Why don''t you give an exnation to the investor now?" Hearing these questions, Shirley was almost pissed off. ''Give up her? It was she who said she wanted to terminate the contract and refused to act in this TV drama! Is there any contradiction between them? It''s a big problem. Either she dies or I live. Do you think if it''s a big problem or not?'' She thought angrily! ! ''What do I want to say about the video? I want to say dirty words! Why don''t I exin it to the investor? I also wanted to give an exnation to the investor, but the investor didn''t ept my method. What can I do?'' However, Shirley could only say these words in her heart. She couldn''t say these words in front of the media now. After saying these, she would only attract more curses. Therefore, she had no choice but to endure the angry the keep these words in her heart. She had to force a smile and said to the reporters, "Dear media friends, I know you are very curious about what happened recently. I sincerely apologize to you. It''s all my fault. I will personally find Miss Ka to thank her for her generosity and tolerance, and I will give the investor a satisfactory reply as soon as possible. Please wait patiently." After saying that, Shirley squeezed a way for herself with her body and walked quickly into the The angry Shirley swore in her heart as she walked, ''Ka, you made a fool of me today and made me speechless. When I have enough experience point, when I slowly upgrade, I will certainly abuse you!'' Chapter 10 Successfully Humiliating Her Chapter 10 Sessfully Humiliating Her Shirley was very clear that it would be really good to rush in and scold the dark heart agent, then m the door and leave. However, it would not have any substantial effect on solving thepany''s predicament. Therefore, she had to be more imposing. Finally getting rid of the reporters, Shirley came to the office of the new actress''s agent. Before she pushed the door open, Shirley took a deep breath and was ready for the uing battle. Shirley knocked on the door. When she heard e in," she pushed the door open and came in. The agent saw her and paused. Although it was only for a moment, Shirley still noticed it. The agent immediately responded with a smile. Looking at her face, Shirley felt that she was about to spit out the breakfast. Her smile reminded her of a saying, "there is a knife hidden in a smile.'' But she must hold back her anger. The agent said, "Why does Miss Shirleye here in person? Why don''t you ask your assistant to deliver the contract?" "If I don''t send this contract in person, I''m afraid your plot will seed." Shirley looked at this agent with a sneer. The agent smiled just now. After hearing Shirley''s words, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened and his whole face looked unnatural. "What did Miss Shirley mean? What plot?" Humph, don''t y dumb. I''ll make you cryter! Shirley thought to herself. "Hey, you are not a neer. Why don''t you even know how to make a contract? Why didn''t you specify the responsibilities you should bear in the event of a breach of contract? Do you look down upon my bachelor degree in finance and management? The trap is so obvious." When Shirley said this, her eyes were full of sharpness, and she pressed the other party with an imposing manner. But it was really embarrassing for her to say that she had two bachelor degrees. Moreover, this trap was discovered by Samuel, not her. The agent was scared to sweat by Shirley''s imposing manner. She quickly stood up from the chair, walked up to Shirley and said in a trembling voice, "ah... What? Really? Maybe I was too careless. This has never happened before." "Humph!" Shirley snorted coldly and thought to herself, ''it''s really nonsense. Up to now, she still denies it.'' Shirley continued to approach her step by step. "By the way, when we had a negotiation that day, I had told you that the n of finding a new actress in ourpany was confidential. Why did you tell others? ?" Originally, Shirley thought that it was her bad luck to be recorded and posted online when she was looking for a new actress. However, she thought carefullyst night. The cafe she found was very secret, and very few people knew this ce. How could she be so coincidentally caught? She had always been confused about it. Last night, after she knew the trap in the contract, she saw clearly the character of this agent. She felt that what she had been wondering seemed to be easily solved. Since this woman was so despicable, it was possible for her to tell Ka''s agent B that he was looking for a new actress. Originally, Shirley was just guessing, so she said this just to test her. However, this agent''s reaction The agent was very surprised. "You... How can you know? It''s impossible. I..." "Well, it''s really you. My guess is right!" "What? You were just guessing? You lied to me! " When the agent saw that the matter was exposed, there was no smile on her face at all. She was even angry from embarrassment. "You have to use the same means to deal with the same kind of person. For people like you, how can I make you tell the truth without using any tricks?" Said Shirley, staring at this agent. At this moment, Shirley looked calm, but this agent was frightened by her queen''s aura and didn''t dare to y tricks in front of her. Shirley''s guess was right. After she contacted the agent of the new actress, the agent contacted Ka''s agent B and told her Shirley''s n as well as the time and ce of their meeting, because the agent knew that the Xia Group was in danger now and it was not a good idea to cooperate with the Xia Group at this time. On the contrary, Ka was now famous now. It was possible for her to set up a studio one day, so in order to please Ka, she chose to frame Shirley. On the day of their meeting, agent B first stayed in the cafe before Shirley arrived, and then secretly recorded a video and uploaded it on the Inte. In this way, Shirley would make a fool of herself in front of the public, and at the same time, she would show Ka''s innocence and kindness. "But I don''t understand. The conditions I give you are very generous, which are not avable to all stars in the entertainment circle now. Besides, we have no enmity against each other. Why did you frame me?" Shirley asked the agent. Before the agent could say anything, someone knocked on the door. Theers were exactly thest people Shirley wanted to see -- Ka and her agent B. Ka was also shocked when she saw Shirley. Obviously, she didn''t expect Shirley to be here. Shirley thought, ''now that everyone is here, it''s more convenient to question them.'' But their appearance also made Shirley understand what she was confused about just now. It turned out to be her! Ka! In this way, everything could be made clear. The man who released the video online was Ka''s agent, B, and then Ka would ask the public not to me Shirley. This time, she would make Shirley the target of public criticism. As for the reason why the agent of the new actress chose to work for Ka, it was clear too. If Shirley were the agent, she would also choose Ka. After all, the Xia Group was in crisis now, and she didn''t dare to take any risk. But Ka was different. Her backer was Damon, and what behind Damon was the Ji family. Of course, choosing Ka was the best choice. "Shirley, why are you here?" Ka asked Shirley with a friendly smile. However, Shirley didn''t want to be kind to her. "I should be the one asking you this question. Thanks to your effort, my n to find a new actress is known to all. Is it strange that Ie to her? But you, why are you here?" In fact, Shirley had already thought of it, but she deliberately asked Ka to see what else she could say. At this time, Sam''s voice sounded again. This time, it was not about deduction, but about the increase in experience point. "Congrattions for gaining experience point, guessing out the n of the heroine, and sessfully humiliating her. Congrattions!" Hearing the voice in her mind, Shirley smiled. Ka, who was just bumped into by Shirley, showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Oh, just... I have something to ask her." "Really?" Shirley turned around, crossed her arms over her chest, slowly walked towards Ka and continued, "What''s the matter? What happened? Are you going to talk about how to frame me together?" When Shirley said this, a charming smile appeared on her face. But in the eyes of the other three people, Shirley''s smile was full of coldness. She was like a wolf waiting to catch its prey, beautiful but dangerous. In the past, Shirley couldn''t have such an expression at all. It was all attributed to Ka and Damon. After seeing people''s true color, she was no longer the innocent girl who could be easily bullied by others. She had to make herself stronger in order to survive in this world. The reality was that thew of the jungle prevailed, and the fittest survived. Now that things hade to this, there was no need for the three of them to disguise. "Shirley, I underestimated you. How could you know it was me? Yes, I want to hurt you. What can you do? How long do you think your Xia Group can hold on? And should you thank me for helping you? Don''t you feel good to be cared by theizens?" Ka no longer pretended to be weak and pitiful. She exposed her fox tail and humiliated Shirley with a vicious expression. Oh, she had knew that Ka would show her true face sooner orter. At this moment, she really wanted to record what Ka was like now, so that those brainless and blind men could see that their goddess was a real bitch. "It''s not up to you how long I can hold on. Don''t you feel shameful to swagger around by relying on men? At least I am working hard by myself. How about you? Not to mention that your man also relies on his brother." Shirley really didn''t like Ka hiding behind a man and pretending to be pitiful. "What else can you do if I don''t work hard? After all, your man was taken away by me, hahaha." After saying that, Kaughed viciously. Then she continued, "even if Damon relies on Samuel now, we all know that the Ji family will belong to Damon sooner orter, and I will also be the hostess of the Ji family. At that time, if you make me unhappy, I can kick you out of the Ji family at any time." Shirley found that this woman was so shameless that she still felt proud of robbing her best friend''s boyfriend. When she read the novel, she didn''t think so. She just felt that the heroine was too fake. But when she really came here, she found that Ka was not just fake. It was true that people knew people''s faces but not their hearts. "You are so generous to eat my leftovers." Shirley deliberately made her angry. Sure enough, Ka was irritated. "What did you say?! I tell you, don''t be too arrogant. Sooner orter, I will make you kneel in front of me and beg me! " Pointing at Shirley''s nose, Ka roared. Compared with Ka''s anger from embarrassment, Shirley was much calmer. Hearing Ka''s words, she smiled wickedly and said, "Okay, I''m looking forward to that day, too." After saying that, Shirley walked past her and left the office. She concluded that when dealing with this kind of person, you shouldn''t be impulsive. You had to defeat her with actions. Chapter 11 Brainless Man Chapter 11 Brainless Man Damon had been setting about the management work of thepany recently in order to get familiar with the business of thepany so that he could take over thepany smoothly in the future. Of course, it was Damon''s parents who let him enter thepany. They said that they wanted Damon to learn more in thepany so that he could better assist his brother and make the Ji family stronger. However, Samuel was very clear about their wishful thinking. But he couldn''t refuse. If he refused, it might arouse their suspicion, so he had no choice but only to let Damon stay in thepany. His foster parents asked Samuel to teach his brother more and Damon could ask him for advice whenever he encountered any problems at work. He had no choice but to agree reluctantly. Therefore, Damon came to Samuel''s office from time to time. On the one hand, he had to know what a CEO should do; on the other hand, it could cause trouble to Samuel. Therefore, Damon was never bored with asking Samuel questions, but in fact, they were all stupid questions that could even be solved by ordinary employees. One day, Damon encountered some problems at work and nned to go to the CEO''s office again. When he was about to knock on the door, he heard someone talking inside. It seemed to be Samuel''s assistant. He was about to turn around and leave, but when he heard a name, he stopped. He heard that Ka''s name was mentioned. Did Samuel investigate Ka? Did he also like Ka? ''How dare you steal my woman?'' he thought. Damon came back and pressed his ear against the door to eavesdrop. The assistant seemed to be reporting to Samuel what had happened between Ka and Shirley, including that Shirley went to the agency of the new actress today, and Ka followed her in. Of course, they didn''t know what happened inside. The assistant only said that Ka didn''t look good when she came out. Damon was very angry. He had heard about what had happened these days. He thought that it was Shirley who broke her promise and changed the actress without Ka''s permission. His kind Ka even recorded a video to ask everyone not to me her. In Damon''s eyes, this kind of woman didn''t deserve sympathy at all. Only Ka was so kind-hearted that she could even speak for others when bullied. He thought that Shirley woulde to her senses and ask Ka to act in a TV y. But he really underestimated this woman''s shamelessness. She even contacted a new actress. Just now, he heard that hateful woman, Shirley, had done something to Ka, which made Ka angry. How could such a gentle and considerate person not look happy? It must be this woman who had said something unpleasant to Ka. Damon had nned to get even with Shirley. However, it happened that Samuel''s assistant came out. The assistant bowed to Damon and called, "Mr. Damon." Samuel happened to hear that. He couldn''t leave now. So he had to suppress his anger and solve the problem with Samuel. After Samuel told him what to do, he left in a hurry. Samuel still felt strange. Normally, Damon would pester him for several hours and dy his work time. However, Damon was not in a good mood to mess with Samuel. He just concerned that his woman had been bullied, He wanted to avenge his woman. In the Benz sports car on the road, Damon clenched the steering wheel in his hand. His eyes were full of anger. He felt that he had been tolerant enough to this woman, Shirley. He tolerated that she offended Ka again and again. What did Ka do wrong? She just loved him and chose true love. Why should she suffer such an insult? How could he have been blind to fall in love with such a vicious woman, Shirley? If he had met Ka earlier, he would not have been retaliated by Shirley. But today, Shirley really crossed his bottom line. She dared to bully Ka when he was not around. Damon had already cursed Shirley for many times, and he couldn''t help stepping on the elerator. When he arrived at Shirley''spany, regardless of the security guards'' obstruction, he rushed all the way to the door of Shirley''s office and shouted, "Shirley,e out! How dare you bully my woman!" "Mr. Damon, please stop messing around here. Miss Shirley isn''t here. She hasn''te to the Hearing that Shirley hadn''te back yet, Damon had nned to wait for her at the gate of the After leaving the agent''spany, Shirley drove away, intending to go back to thepany. Ka also left after she left. Because Ka still had something to pack up, she also came to the Xia Group. Just as Shirley walked into the hall of thepany, her phone rang. The assistant''s anxious voice came from inside, "Miss Shirley, don''t go back to thepany now. I don''t know what''s wrong with Mr. Damon. He came to you and shouted that you bullied his woman." "What? Is he insane? Now he... " Before Shirley could finish her question, she felt a shadow approaching her. She looked up and saw Damon, who was making trouble. She hung up the phone calmly and said, "what are you doing here?" "You know what I''m doing here. Do you really think I don''t know what you have done to Ka? Do you really think Ka is easy to be bullied?" Damon said fiercely to Shirley. The coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze Shirley. But now, Shirley was fearless. She raised her head and asked, "I bully her? Damon, why do you ask me what I have done to her instead of reflecting on your making a fool of mest time? Tell me, what did I do to her?" Damon didn''t expect that this woman was so shameless. He had the nerve to mention what happened think you can still stand in front of me and talk to me now? Let me ask you, did you bully Ka again in the agency today?" Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. "Ha ha, it''s so funny. When did you see that I bullied her? ?" "I heard that Ka didn''t look good when she came out of that agent''spany. It must be you!" "I..." Before Shirley could say anything, she saw that Damon had passed her. Shirley turned around and found that it was Ka who entered into thepany. Seeing that, Damon pulled Ka into his arms and asked in a soft voice like asking a baby, "Ka, are you bullied by this woman again? Tell me, I''ll get even with her this time." At first, Ka didn''t expect to meet Damon. When she was held into his arms, she was still confused, but after hearing what Damon said... She immediately put on an expression that she was good at. Ka said in a sweet voice, "Damon, why are you here? Don''t ask anymore. Shirley didn''t do anything to me. Let''s go home, okay?" Ka knew very well what kind women men liked. She leant weakly against Damon''s arms and looked at him affectionately. Her eyes were pretty and filled with tears, as if she had been wronged and dared not say anything. But she stillforted the man that she was fine, which could most arouse the man''s desire to protect her. After watching the y, Shirley was stunned. She couldn''t help but give a thumbs up to Ka''s acting skills. She hadn''t known how good her acting skills were in TV dramas. It was really amazing that she always acted perfectly at this time. After hearing what Ka said, Damon really felt that she was bullied. He looked up and red at Shirley viciously, and then continued tofort Ka affectionately, "Ka, don''t be afraid. Tell me if this woman threatened you. It''s okay. Tell me, I''m your man. Do you believe me?" Looking at the scene of the couple in front of her, Shirley was really speechless. She felt that Damon must have a paranoia and a rich imagination. "Hey, hey, hey, can you stop acting? Ka, aren''t you tired of living like this every day?" Shirley couldn''t help interrupting them. "Shirley, you deserve to die. I think you are the one who has been acting all the time. You just tortured Ka like this because I don''t love you anymore." Damon was still living in his imagination. Sometimes, Shirley admired the author very much. How could he write such a romantic story? "It''s the woman you are holding now. She refused me at first. She didn''t want to act in this TV drama, so I had no choice but to find a new actress. However, she bribed the agent of the new actress to cheat me. She even posted the video anonymously on the Inte, and then hypocritically sent a video persuading the public not to me me, so that everyone would target at me. Meanwhile, she could pretend to be a victim and watch a good show as if a looker-on. This is what the woman you love did. Do you still think she is kind?" Shirley told all the plots nned by Ka. Although Ka was also shocked, she was confident that she wouldn''t let Damon believe her. After all, she was the heroine. Sure enough, Damon didn''t believe it. He freed Ka''s body and walked up to Shirley. "I find that your ability to make up lies is getting stronger and stronger. Are you suffering from persecutory delusion? It was you who did something wrong to my Ka. Now you want to nder Ka with a few words? " After Damon finished his words, Shirley saw that Ka behind him smiled very proudly, as if she was telling her with an expression, "do you know? I''m the heroine. No matter what you say, others will think that you''re making up a story. They only believe me.'' Shirley rolled her eyes. She knew that even if she told the truth, this brainless man wouldn''t believe her. Chapter 12 What Have I Done To You Chapter 12 What Have I Done To You Damon still didn''t want to let go of Shirley, but Shirley didn''t want to be entangled with him anymore. At this moment, Ka came up at the right time and gently held Damon''s arm. Hercent eyes instantly turned soft like a rabbit. "Damon, you can go now. Don''t worry about me. I''m really fine." "No, you''ve suffered a lot without me by your side today. I must let this woman pay the price, or she will hurt you again." Damon turned to look at Ka and said. Then he slowly walked towards Shirley, like a beast ready to attack at any time. His eyes were terrifying, as if he was going to swallow Shirley in front of him in one gulp. Seeing him like this, Shirley was a little scared. She unconsciously took a step back with her right foot, but she immediately calmed down. Damon was just bluffing. Moreover, if it was on the original Shirley, she would not be afraid, but fight back more fiercely. Thinking of this, Shirley straightened her waist. Then she heard Damon''s threatening voice, "Shirley, I tell you, don''t let me hear you hurt Ka again, or I really won''t let you go." "Well, I have told you the true face of this woman. Since you still treat her as a treasure, I have nothing to say. Won''t let me go? Okay, let''s wait and see. " Now, Shirley tried her best to suppress her anger. Because of the quarrel just now, many people had gathered around the three of them. So she couldn''t lose her mind. After all, she was surrounded by hundreds of pairs of eyes, waiting for her to make mistakes and jump into the abyss. She would never let those viins see that day. Even if the whole world was her enemy, she had to grit her teeth and carry on. When Shirley was reading the novel, she had a bad impression of the hero. He thought that love was all. He treated the heroine, Ka, as a goddess, and trampled on the supporting actress under his feet. But when she really met Damon, she realized that she hated the man even more. Under the gentlefort of Ka, Damon gradually calmed down and drove away. But what Shirley didn''t understand was why Ka kept staying here. What did she want to do? After a quarrel, Shirley was really tired and didn''t want to waste time on her anymore. Whether she left or not, she turned around and went back to her office. However, as a shameless woman, Ka certainly wouldn''t let go of this opportunity of showing off after Damon humiliated Shirley. Ka followed Shirley into the office. Sitting on the chair, Shirley didn''t want to look up at her. Seeing Shirley in such a state, Ka thought she was frightened by Damon''s warning and became coward, so she didn''t dare to provoke herself anymore. She walked to Shirley''s desk in his white high-heeled shoes and sat in front of Shirley without permission. "What? Are you scared to cry? I''ve told you a long time ago that don''t go against me. You''re weak. Look at me. Damon always defends me. He will never believe what you said, even if you are telling the truth. Youugh at me for relying on men, but don''t you think it''s more ridiculous that you have nothing?" Ka said to Shirley slowly, twisting her hair with one finger. "Are you done? Then please go out, okay?" Shirley raised her head and looked at Ka coldly and indifferently. "Let me out? What qualifications do you have to let me go out? I think you''d better beg me to save your Xia Group. Huh? What about? Isn''t my idea great? " "Fuck off!" No matter how Ka provoked her, Shirley was always quiet and indifferent, which, however, aroused Ka''s anger. She stood up abruptly, put her hands on the desk and said to Shirley, "you''re dying. Why are you still so arrogant? How dare you ask me to get out? All I am doing to you is what you have done to me before. I just want to give you a dose of your own medicine!" Hearing this, Shirley''s mood finally fluctuated. She said that Shirley had done something to her. But now she really didn''t know what Shirley had done. After all, when she came in, Damon had already fallen in love with Ka, and she had also hot married with Samuel. Therefore, she didn''t know much about what Shirley had done to Ka in the past. Even the author didn''t illustrate this in detail in the novel. So, if she wanted to know the details, she could only learn it from Ka. "Oh? What did I do to you? " Shirley asked, pretending to know the answer. "It''s disgusting of you to pretend to be innocent. How dare you ask me? When you asked me to sign yourpany, I thought you would really be so kind to train me and make me famous, but you took me to a social engagement. Why did you ask me to apany that old and fat man? You even gave me an excuse that you just wanted him to invest in yourpany. How could you be so selfish to betray your good friend? No, maybe you haven''t treated me as your friend from beginning to end. You have been using me all the time. I refused to go to the party with you, and you threatened me to banish me from the entertainment industry so that I would never be able to be famous. At that time, I even wanted to kill you, but I won''t do that. I will make you suffer a lot in life. Let me tell you, Shirley, you deserve what you have suffered. You deserve it." Shirley knew that the original supporting actress had a bad mind and always tried to frame Ka, but she didn''t expect that she would do such a vicious thing. As Ka said, her eyes gradually turned red, but it seemed that she wouldn''t stop, as if she wanted to pour out what Shirley had done to her. She continued, "It''s all your fault that I be like this! It''s all your fault! Now I can finally stop living under your oppression, so I won''t let you live. I want you to feel my despair at that time. You don''t know how happy I am when I see you like this!" Now Shirley understood why Ka always went against her. Shirley felt helpless. It turned out that she had to take the responsibility for the sins caused by the original female supporting role, just because of the same name? Ahhh! Why did she encounter this miserable life at this time! "Are you satisfied with my current situation?" Shirley still had to keeping acting. She couldn''t be found out that she was not the original Shirley. "No! I''m not satisfied! I will make yourpany go bankrupt and you will never bully and take advantage of me again. That day, when that agent told me that you wanted to sign a new actress, I knew that I could take advantage of this opportunity to put you in trouble. If that agent hadn''t reminded me, I wouldn''t have thought of taking a video." Looking at the crazy woman in front of her, Shirley felt that she was not as elegant and gentle as usual. Wait! What did she say? That agent reminded her? That was to say, it was that agent who gave her the N?velDrama.Org owns this text. idea. Thinking of this, she remembered that the agent of the new actress was also in contact with agent B, not Ka directly. Shirley finally realized that she had been wrong. She had always thought that it was all because of Ka. Unexpectedly, these two agents worked together to defeat her, and Ka was just on their side and she was used by them two. But why did they frame her? If she was right, the two of them belonged to the same entertainment really scary to think about it carefully! Thinking of how poor Ka was, she felt sorry for her. She had been used by the supporting actress in the past, and now she was used by her agent. After showing off and venting her anger in Shirley''s office, Ka left the office, leaving her alone to think about countermeasures. Her current enemy was not Ka alone, but the two malicious agents. However, with her own ability, she could do nothing to them now. At this time, Shirley thought of a person. Only this person had the means to help her. It was Samuel. Shirley came back home early. In fact, she had been wondering whether she should ask Samuel for help. Although the two of them were using each other now, it was too embarrassing to let him help her rashly. Besides, thinking of that cold-blooded man, Shirley felt a headache. But he was the only one who could help her. Therefore, Shirley came up with an idea that she could cook a meal for him first, so that theirmunication would be smoother. She took action immediately. But Shirley didn''t know what that man liked to eat. Forget it. Just cook what she liked. When Samuel returned home, he smelled the aroma of the meal. Following the smell, he walked to the kitchen and saw a table full of dishes. When he saw that it was Shirley who was cooking, he was fascinated by the busy figure. At this time, Shirley was wearing ordinary loose home clothes, but they could not hide her good figure. Her long wavy hair was simply tied behind with a hair rope, revealing her slender and white neck. Her figure was tall and well proportioned, and she was a little different from usual beauty. Samuel leaned against the door frame and looked at her carefully for a long time. It was not until Shirley turn around and saw him that he realized what had happened. He clenched her fist and coughed to cover her embarrassment. Seeing that Samuel hade back, Shirley smiled charmingly and said, "You''re back. Let''s have dinner." Hearing this, Samuel was in a trance. Wasn''t this the life he had been longing for? He felt that his whole heart was soft now. The two people at the table were very quiet. Shirley was thinking about how to start that topic. Samuel broke the embarrassment and said, "I don''t want to eat lentinus edodes. It tastes bad." "What? Oh, I see. " Shirley, who was interrupted, didn''t respond until she saw the fried meat with letinous edodes on the table. "Then, well, I have something to ask you for... Well, forget it. Nothing." It took Shirley a lot of courage to ask, but she gave up finally. Chapter 13 Special Means Chapter 13 Special Means Looking at the woman who wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Samuel felt confused. But after thinking for a while, he looked at the dishes on the table and understood. But he didn''t show it on the surface and continued to eat in silence. After dinner, the two went back to their own rooms. Shirley, who had been wandering around the room, was very upset. What a good chance it was just now, but she gave it up. How could she be so coward? How could she open her mouth? She hit her head hard. It really hurt. She held her head and rubbed it. At this moment, Shirley suddenly heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of it. "You... Why are you here?" "Don''t you let me in?" Samuel didn''t answer her question. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Shirley stepped aside and Samuel walked in directly. But the woman still didn''t know why he came. She had a bold idea. Was is possible that he knew that she wanted to ask him for help? "Yes, that''s exactly what you think." Samuel looked at the woman who had been in a daze and said. "What... Is that so? How do you know what I''m thinking?" Shirley was so surprised. Could this man read her mind? How could he read her mind? It was terrible. "You cooked a lot of dishes for no reason, and still hem and haw at the table. Only a fool doesn''t know that you want to ask me for help." In fact, Samuel didn''t have any mind reading skills. He had lived with this woman for a long time and knew something about her. In addition, he had asked someone to investigate her recent situation, so the answer was very simple. "HMM... Indeed." For a long time, Shirley felt ufortable to be seen through, but for some reason, she didn''t feel bad to be seen through by Samuel. On the contrary, she felt relieved to have someone who cared about her so much. She was very happy because it could be considered as the onlyfort for her toe to this world. Samuel began to analyze the current situation to Shirley, "I think you now know that the people who are against you are actually the two agents. Therefore, you only need to deal with the two of them. But if you fight against them head-on, you can''t defeat them. After all, the Xia Group is not as strong as before. So you have to take some special measures." Samuel''s words reminded the woman all of a sudden. Shirley listened carefully and nodded, "special means? For example?" "For example, they have something on them." Samuel hit the nail on the head. "But they must be on the alert now. I have alerted them. They must have been well prepared. Isn''t it too "Of course, if I waited for you to look for it, they would have destroyed you. I have already prepared for you." Samuel took out a U disk from his pocket and handed it to Shirley. Shirley felt that her IQ had been crushed. However, it was normal for him. Samuel had been managing such a bigpany for so many years. How could he stand without intelligence and wise. She was just a college student who had just graduated. It was normal that she didn''t expect that. It was not bad that she could think of this. Afterforting herself like this, Shirley felt much better. Looking at the U disk in her hand, Shirley was moved. Her eyes turned red. Since she came to this world, no one really cared about her. Shirley felt that living in negative energy every day almost made her heart a little distorted. She had been fighting alone for so long, but suddenly someone reached out his hand and was willing to help her. Her gratitude was beyond words. Shirley didn''t want Samuel to see her like this. She didn''t want her weakness to be shown to others, so she quietly lowered her head. However, unfortunately, Samuel had seen the weak side of Shirley. Somehow, Samuel felt a heartache. "Stop!" The emotions that Shirley had just prepared were all gone by this word. "Don''t be moved. I still want to say it. Since we are partners, I have the obligation to help you. Of course, I''m not a volunteer. You have to pay the price, that is, if I need you in the future, you must agree without hesitation." Samuel deliberately drew a clear line between them two with objective words. However, he actually couldn''t bear to see Shirley cry. His heart ached when he saw her red eyes just now. If she cried, Samuel would really be at a loss. But he was just so awkward. He was moved, but he wouldn''t say it out loud. Instead, he used such a poor way to stop girls from crying. Shirley had wanted to thank him, but on second thought, even if she did so, he wouldn''t appreciate it. She could imagine that Samuel would say with a serious face that we only have a cooperative rtionship and you don''t need to thank me or something like that. Thinking of this, Shirley immediately gave up the idea. Just as Samuel said, when he needed her in the future, she would try her best to help him. When Samuel was about to leave her room, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and turned to remind Shirley, "Don''t use the evidence I gave you as a trade and exchange it with them. You must use it as a tool to threaten them. As long as you hold this evidence in your hand, you can control them and they will fear you and won''t make things difficult for you in a short time. You have to make sure that you hold the evidence, okay?"'' "Okay, I know." Shirley answered obediently after being stunned for a while. Walking out of Shirley''s room, Samuel felt that he was not himself anymore. Why did he be so garrulous? He shook his head, smiled and went back to his room. At this time, in the room, Shirley felt that Samuel was strange recently. Sometimes he was very alienated from her, and sometimes he was very concerned about her, which made her confused. ''Forget it. I''d better solve the current problem first.'' she thought. Shirley immediately took out herputer to check what evidence Samuel had given her. When she opened the file, Shirley found that it was the evidence of the two agents'' embezzlement of public funds. On the one hand, Shirley was surprised that these two people were so bold that they hadn''t been discovered that they had embezzled arge amount of public funds. On the other hand, the more they had embezzled, the greater the chance of winning for Shirley. That night, Shirley had the most stable sleep since she came here. Maybe it was because she could finally hold her head high in front of those people who hurt her tomorrow. But maybe she didn''t realize that it was because Samuel had brought her more security. On the second morning, Shirley wore a customized business suit, formal and fashionable. She put on a makeup that made her look like a business woman with a strong aura. Shirley drove to the agent''spany. She looked proud and confident when she walked to the office, but in fact, she still felt very uneasy in her heart. She pushed the door open and saw the new actress''s agent she had contacted and Ka''s agent B were both inside. The two were surprised to see her. They didn''t expect that this woman would dare to With a slight smile on her face, Shirley said, "everyone is here. Well, you don''t have to bother to think about what I came for. I''m just looking for you two." Hearing what Shirley said, the two of them smiled. Agent B said, "I underestimated your courage. You still dare toe to us. Oh, no, are you here to beg for mercy? Say something nice." Hearing this, another agentughed wildly, "hahaha." They two were really like small men intoxicated by sess. "Well, I think you should go to the psychiatric hospital to see how to treat hypochondriasis. You need it badly. " Shirley didn''t want to argue with them too much. "Look at this!" Shirley took out a few pieces of paper from her bag and threw them in front of them. The two men were stillughingcently, but when they saw the content on the paper, their expressions changed greatly. They stuttered, "This... Where did you get it? " The content on the paper was the evidence of their embezzlement of public funds. Shirley printed out all the documents and hid the U disk at home. "Why don''t you be arrogant? Didn''t you smile happily just now? " Shirley deliberately embarrassed them to avenge the humiliation just now. Now the two men looked as if they had eaten a fly. They had been determined to defeat Shirley, but they didn''t expect that she could find their weakness. But only the two of them knew about it. "Tell me, what do you want?" Agent B saw that the situation had changed greatly and calmed down to analyze the current situation. He had no choice but to negotiate with her. "The condition is to rify the video on the Inte and tell the public that it was Ka who refused my invitation first. After that, I nned to find a new actress. Otherwise, these documents will be spread on the Inte wildly. At that time, you two will lose your job..." Shirley''s voice was neither loud nor low, but it was enough to give them a strong pressure. The two men thought for a while, gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, as you wish." "In the end, I warn you, behave yourself and don''t provoke me again, or I can''t guarantee what I will do." After saying that, Shirley turned around and left. She breathed a sigh of relief and finally vented her hatred. Sure enough, there was a rification on the Inte soon, but it was not from Ka, but from the mistake. Therefore, Shirley did look for a new actress after being rejected, and she didn''t break the promise. Although this notice didn''t satisfy Shirley very much because they even kept Ka''s face, Shirley was relieved, at least she wouldn''t be attacked by the public opinion. Chapter 14 Upgrade To The First Level Chapter 14 Upgrade To The First Level Aftering out of the agency, Shirley felt refreshed. It turned out that the feeling of revenge was like this. After that, she could not be disturbed for a short time. She was felt relieved for venting her anger. She had been suppressed by them before, and now she finally fought back, although it was Samuel who helped her. The two agents were still in a state of shock after Shirley left. They had always thought that this woman was just a rookie in the workce and she couldn''t be so capable even if she had a double degree in economics and management. But they didn''t expect that this woman was so capable to get the evidence of the two of them embezzling public funds. It seemed that they couldn''t underestimate this woman. They couldn''t act rashly recently. In fact, they didn''t know that it was Samuel who helped her. The news on the Inte caused an uproar. At the same time, Ka was also humiliated because of her previous video. Netizens, keyboard men, and all kinds of rumors were online again. "It turns out that Shirley is the one who was wronged. Ka was also set up by her agent, but she is also brainless. How could she send the video casually without figuring out the situation in advance?" "In fact, I have disliked Ka for a long time. She has been pretending to be cute and innocent for so long. Isn''t it too false? This time, she even framed her original entertainmentpany. After all, she was supported by thepany. It''s too ungrateful of her to do so. This is called kick down thedder." "Ka is kind enough to speak for others. How could she be a sinner? It must be that woman has done something bad to Ka. That''s why she did that." However, someizens were wise, "I have an assumption and you may not believe me. Was it possible that Ka refuse in person, and made her agent be the scapegoat to take the me now seeing that there is no concealing the truth?" He was really a thoughtfulizen. He was right, but he was only right in the first half. Of course, there were also some Ka''s fans who were brainless. "Our Ka must have been tricked by her agent. She is so kind that we are willing to believe her. Please don''t say stuff and nonsense! " Different opinions appeared on the Inte. There was also a w in the innocent image that Ka had maintained. At this time, in the agency, after reading the notice on the Inte, Ka was very angry and quickly walked to the agent''s office. "What do you two mean? Aren''t you embarrassing me? It was you who came up with the idea to let me shoot the video, and now it is you who make a fool of me. Are you crazy? What about my image in front of the public? Why did you do that? " Ka really couldn''t figure it out. They were about to seed, but at thest moment, they gave up and let go of Shirley. She always feel that the two of them were hiding something from her. With a guilty conscience, the agent didn''t dare to answer Ka''s question directly. "Leave it alone. We will help you deal with the aftermath and it won''t have any impact on you. Anyway, we can''t go against Shirley these days. What''s more, we have taken the me for you, haven''t we? As for your image, there are still many fans supporting you on the Inte. If you can''t ept it, ourpany will buy water army for you to maintain your innocent image. Don''t worry. You can first go back and we will help you settle all troubles for sure." "Okay. I don''t care why you let go of Shirley. But remember what you said. Don''t damage my interests." After getting the promise from her agent, Ka felt a little relieved and left. What Ka didn''t know was that she had been used, but she didn''t notice it. At this moment, Sam''s voice rang in Shirley''s mind, "Congrattions! Although it''s an indirect way to make the heroine lose face this time, your experience has increased to the first level. Please keep working!" Hearing that she had been promoted to the first grade, Shirley almost shed tears of excitement. After so long, she had finally been promoted! If Sam was a real person, Shirley would have hugged him tightly. That was great! Finally, she took the first step back home! But she had to hold back her excitement. After all, there was still a long way to go. Without the interruption of the two annoying people, Shirley''s n to find a new actress would be much smoother. Shirley didn''t rely on any agent anymore. She had been tricked by that agentst time. Instead, she went straight to the girl she had chosen on the advertising screen on the street. In the dining room, Shirley was sitting next to a pure and elegant girl. This girl''s appearance was not This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. the same as those of Inte celebrities who had stic surgery. Her face waspletely pure and natural. Seeing her real face, Shirley felt that she had a good eye for people. "Miss, I believe you have heard about what happened before. Ka has indeed refused to take part in the y. The reason why Ie to you is to listen to your own will. Don''t choose to trust the agent blindly." Shirley could tell that the girl in front of her was unsophisticated, very simple and innocent, unlike Ka who had always pretended to be simple. She was really innocent and harmless, so she had easily trusted that unscrupulous agent and let him deal with everything for her. And it was because of her innocence and loveliness that Shirley thought she was the only heroine of the y. "I... I don''t know if I can make this decision, so..." The girl was still hesitating whether she should agree or not. "I''m preparing for that TV drama recently and I think you''re the right person to be the heroine. To tell you the truth, when I saw you on the street, I felt that this role was simply a perfect match for you. If you can promise me, I will use all the resources of ourpany to train you. Think about Ka, she is trained by ourpany, although we have terminated the contract. I will sign the contract with you, okay?" Shirley sincerely made a promise to the girl. She really hoped that the girl could say yes. The girl was still hesitating. Seeing that she was about to seed, Shirley continued, "Do you want to be the next Ka? No, not the next her. It''s a new idol. It''s you. Trust me, I will make you the person you dream of." When the girl heard Shirley''s words, her eyes lit up with desire. Bing an idol and letting everyone know her and support her was the dream of every artist. "I... I promise I will sign the contract with you!" The girl promised Shirley excitedly. She might not have thought that this would be the most correct decision she would make in her life. Hearing that the girl agreed, Shirley was so excited that she wanted to jump up. No, she told herself to hold back. After all, she was the general manager of apany and she couldn''t lose face in front of a newer. "Well, well. Thank you very much." Now that the choice of the actress had been decided smoothly, the next step was to solve the financial problem. If there was no money, everything would be empty words. However, this was also the biggest headache for Shirley. The investor had a tough attitude and a stubborn temper. He just said that he wanted no one but Ka. Shirley had no choice but to negotiate with the investor again and again, hoping to persuade him as soon as possible. After solving the cast''s problem, Shirley rushed to visit the investor. But the investor was still tough. Shirley was really helpless. Shirley went back to thepany and held several meetings with the shareholders, but none of them was ended up with satisfaction. The shareholders were still discussing with each other. "Shirley. I have told you. This method is too risky. Now we don''t even have money. How can we start a new y? " "Miss Shirley, thepany is really short of money. We have to get investment." Hearing these voices, Shirley felt her head was going to explode. If that investor was not so stubborn, she wouldn''t have been so annoyed. After returning home from work, Shirleyy on the sofa. She had been running around in the past few days without a break, but there was still no progress. Shirley just wanted to have a rest on the sofa, but she didn''t expect that she would fall asleep because she was too tired. When Samuel got home and saw this scene, he couldn''t help but feel a little sorry for her. He had been paying attention to the movements of Shirley, so he couldpletely understand her. Samuel slowly crouched down, trying to get closer to her. When he looked closer, he found that the woman''s eyshes were so long, and they gently pped with the rhythm of her breath. At this moment, Samuel looked at the sleeping face of the woman, and her eyshes seemed to have swept through his heart. How could it be a little itchy? After a long time, he found that the woman seemed to have a dream and drop of tear fell from the corner of her eye. He raised his hand, approached her face and gently wiped her tears with his fingers. Samuel stood up and went back to his room to get a nket and slowly covered it on the woman. This move seemed to wake her up. She groaned, but did not wake up and continued to sleep. Shirley rubbed the nket on her body like a small animal and continued to fall asleep. If Samuel saw his love and tenderness, he would be scared to death. Samuel had heard that Shirley was bothering the investor again. In fact, Samuel could totally invest in herpany. However, on the one hand, if Damon knew it, he would not only disagree, but also make a scene. On the other hand, if he helped Shirley whenever she encountered difficulties, she would never grow up and could not be his help to defeat the Ji family, so he had to let Shirley experience it by herself. In the middle of the night, Shirley woke up and found herself on the sofa. There was a dinner on the table and a nket on her body. She felt warm in her heart and temporarily put down all her fatigue. She remembered that she dreamed of her parents again, but she felt as if there was someone apanying her,forting her and wiping her tears. But when she thought that these were all dreams, she couldn''t help feeling disappointed and lonely. After dinner, Shirley went back to her room and fell asleep quickly. Chapter 15 The Investor Insists On His Own Will Chapter 15 The Investor Insists On His Own Will There was really no perfect way for Shirley, so she had to sign the actress first. Then she took the contract to the investor again. In the cafe, Shirley ordered two cups of cappino and waited anxiously for someone. A man dressed in suits and ties came in and hurriedly sat opposite Shirley. "Make short of long. I''m very busy." The man didn''t want to hear Shirley''s long speech. "Sir, why don''t you ept my opinion?" Shirley really didn''t understand him. "Your opinion is too risky. I still want to choose a safe way." Shirley really tried her best to persuade him, "but you think about it, now the entertainment circle is changing so fast. It''s too stubborn for you to only focus on Ka. Nowadays, the entertainment circle needed some fresh blood, and Ka had been active in the public for so long, which inevitably caused aesthetic fatigue for the public. We have taken this question into ount when choosing the new actress this time. I promise that this new actress has strong potential and will definitely meet your requirements. " In order to persuade the investor, Shirley said many words. It was not easy for him to agree to see her, so she had to persuade him to be willing to invest. "What''s the use of potential? Can it be of real significance? " The investor asked Shirley in reply. "Let me tell you, the only thing of great importance now is audience rating! You always talk to me in this way. I know you want to find a new way and y a new trick. But my money is not from nowhere. I can''t afford it. Again, what is the most important thing in TV series? It is the audience rating! As a new actress, although she had potential, she doesn''t have a strong audience base. Even if you said that Ka had been famous for a long time and the audience had aesthetic fatigue, her fans were strong so that the audience rating was guaranteed. Besides, I know what happened between you and Ka recently. It''s unlikely that you will invite Ka back. I think you''d better give up." The investor didn''t show any mercy to Shirley. She could understand it. After all, they were only connected by money, and there had never been a favor in this circle. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "I''ve signed a contract with the new actress. As long as the fund is in ce, I can start the drama immediately. And I promise you that I won''t let you down." Shirley really had no choice and she almost knelt down and beg him. But the investor was still not convinced and rejected Shirley. What''s worse, Ka knew about it. She heard that the investor that Shirley was contacting insisted on her. Thinking of this, she felt that God was really good to her. Ka get another chance to suppress Shirley. She swore to herself, ''Shirley, I won''t let you solve it easily this time, no matter what the reason is.'' Ka contacted the director of a new y on her own initiative. The director of this y had been unable to invite a famous star like Ka, so when she took the initiative to contact him, he was shocked. Ka invited the director to a tea shop near her home in order to avoid the agent''s awareness. Because of the incidentst time, Ka didn''t trust her agent very much, so she decided to take action in person. "Hello, Miss Ka. I didn''t expect you to call me. Thank you so much." The director was very excited. He had never thought that he could invite Ka to act in his TV series. He believed that he would be famous in the future with this y. "You don''t have to thank me. You have to thank yourself. I''ve watched a few of your works before. I think you are very talented and very good at being a director. I think you will be a rising star in the director circle. I believe that as long as we can cooperate, we will definitely create a miracle of audience rating. Besides, I value talent very much. For me, the payment is not important. If the audience can see more good works, it will be our honor, won''t it?" Ka said to this director elegantly, but she didn''t believe what she had said. In fact, she didn''t know the director before, nor did she watch his y. She just made a few conventional remarks. "That''s right. Miss Ka is really a good luck for the entertainment circle. I won''t let you down. Wish us a pleasant cooperation!" The director raised a cup of tea. "Wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Ka also raised the tea in her hand and smiled politely. The two drank at the same time. While drinking tea, the smile at the corners of Ka''s mouth disappeared. Sheined in her heart, ''I am not willing to act your drama, okay? I don''t even remember your name. If it weren''t for the fact that your filming time is the same as Shirley''s new drama''s startup, I wouldn''t have taken such a job of few sry but much work. But it''s also your honor to help me defeat Shirley.'' Of course, Ka just thought about it. She raised her head with a fake smile on her face. Of course, as a popr star, many people would pay attention to Ka''s every move. For example, as soon as Ka agreed to take part in the new drama, there was news on the Inteter. Of course, Shirley also saw it. She had been wondering why Ka would agree to such a low-quality drama with her fame and status, but when she saw the filming date, she realized that she was ying tricks here. Shirley felt that Ka had gone crazy in order to deal with her, regardless of her own reputation. At the same time, she felt that Ka was very pathetic. Ka nned to humiliate Shirley. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the Xia Group, she met Shirley who was about to go home from work. Seeing her, Shirley felt bad luck. Why did he pester her all day long? She ignored her and went straight out, but Ka didn''t give up and reached out to stop her. "Shirley, how are you doing recently? Are you rxed after rifying the matter on the Inte? " Ka satirized her deliberately. "Yes, I''m so happy. Especially when I saw thements online that scolded you, I really wanted to apud and praised them. You yed tricks on me and made me a sinner on the Inte. Now I''ll let you know how it feels." Shirley could always urately know how to make Ka angry, and could always poke Ka''s sore spot. Sure enough, Ka was so angry that she clenched her fists and trembled. Indeed, thements on the Inte had a great impact on her. But she couldn''t lose her temper. After all, she was in public and there were many people staring at her. Maybe there were paparazzi taking pictures of her at the moment. She couldn''t damage her image any more. "How dare you talk to me like that? The drama you are going to shoot is about to start. The fund is not ready yet. What should you do? If you beg me, I might change my mind." Ka asked, pretending to be kind. "Beg you? No way. I''ve been talking with the investor. The money will be ready soon." "Really? Are you dreaming? Howe it''s different from what I heard. I''ve just taken on a new drama and I''m short of money. How about I call your sponsor and ask which drama he wants to invest? I heard that your investor said that he just wanted me to act in the drama. I believe that as long as I ask him, he will definitely agree to my request. What a pity that having worked so hard for so many days, all your efforts are in vain." With a hypocritical smile on her face, Ka pretended to take out her phone. Shirley caught her hand and identally dropped her phone on the ground. She slowly approached her face until it was very close to her. With a voice that only two people could hear, she stared at her eyes and said sharply, "why should you becent after picking up a bad y? ? But it''s also a good chance for the audience to see what your real level is, and it can also set off my new drama. Good, kill two birds with one stone." Ka shook off her hand and said, "But you have to remember that no matter how good your drama is, how can you start it without money? It''s useless. So, you''d better give up struggling. Your Xia Group is like a grasshopper at the end of autumn -- nearing its end. Just wait and see how I start my drama that day." After saying that, Ka picked up her phone and left in her high heels. Shirley didn''t look as imposing as she had been just now. She rxed her tense body. As long as she faced Ka, her body would unconsciously enter a state of tension and ready for battle. Perhaps her body could automatically sense the breath of the enemy. After what happened just now, although she hated Ka very much, what she said just now was really right. Without money, it was useless to sign a new actresses. No matter how good the y was, it was useless not to be seen by the audience. How could they talk about audience rating? Everything was empty words! However, things were not that simple. After the investor saw the news on the Inte, for the first time in the past few days, he took the initiative to contact Shirley, but scolded her. "What''s wrong with yourpany? You haven''t reached an agreement with Ka yet. She has already taken part in another drama. It''s toote now. I don''t believe yourpany anymore! Don''t contact me anymore!" The investor shouted at Shirley angrily on the phone. "Please don''t be angry. It''s Miss Ka''s freedom to choose which drama she likes. Since she has her own choice and it''s irreversible, why don''t you ept my suggestion? This is our best choice at present." Shirley patiently reasoned with the investors. She had never seen such a situation since she was a child. "How can I not be angry? It''s really a waste of time to wait for you for so long. Well, if she has her own choice, then it''s also my choice to whom I will invest my money! I won''t trust you anymore. I won''t invest in you. Just give up. " "Don''t worry..." "Dududu..." The investor hung up the phone angrily before Shirley finished her words. Chapter 16 Keeping Hitting Dead Ends Chapter 16 Keeping Hitting Dead Ends "s..." Hearing the sound of the phone hanging up, Shirley sighed deeply. The bud of hope that had just been sprouted was killed again. Ka was really good at finding an opportunity to interfere with her. Sitting in the office, Shirley put her hand on her forehead and felt struggled. However, misfortune never came alone. That damn cold and mechanical voice echoed in her mind, "It''s really a pity. You''ve degraded, and your newly upgraded level has returned to zero." Ka seized the chance to humiliate you and you lost again. "Okay, okay, I know. Just shut up." Shirley knew there was a saying called rise and fall, but why did Shirley feel that her life was always very down? It took her a lot of effort to raise her level, but she was beaten back to where she had been in the beginning. The investors she had contacted before all withdrew their investment. Some found various excuses to refuse her, which was good. But some made it clear that wherever Ka was, the capital would be there. This made Ka very proud. She hoped that Ka could stop being arrogant in front of her these days. Shirley had no choice but to find new investors. "Miss Shirley, I''m sorry. We are not interested in your drama." This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. "Miss Shirley, the reason why youe to ourpany for investment is that you want to hit the bottom. But have you ever thought about how much courage I need to invest in yourpany? If this drama fails, my money will be in vain. I''m sorry." "I''m sorry. Please go back. We have invested in Ka''s new y." These were the most words that Shirley had heard in the past few days. They all refused her, saying sorry or other simr words to her. In a word, no investment! At this moment, Shirley felt deeply frustrated. She felt that she had really fallen into a bottleneck this time. Was there really no other way this time? Was he really defeated like this? She sat on the chair, her hands tightly holding her legs, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness. Shirley lowered her head slowly and her forehead touched her knees. Not long after, she began to sob. This was the third time she cried since she came here. For the first time, she missed home and was even seen by Samuel. The second time she cried also because she missed home, but the ce was her room. But this time, she felt powerless. At this time, the staff had already gone off work. There was only Shirley on the whole floor, so she could cry and vent her anger freely. At this moment, Shirley felt lonely and abandoned. When people were sad, they would think of all kinds of unhappiness, with negative energy bursting. Could she really not turn the tables this time? But at the thought of the miserable ending of this supporting actress, Shirley felt a chill down her spine. No! She didn''t want to end up like this supporting actress. She couldn''t be sent to Africa. There must be a way. She would go thought all difficulties. Just then, she received a message. The name on the screen was A, and the content was, "Shirley, are you free? I''ve heard about what happened to you recently and I''m a little worried about you. Let''s meet at the coffee shop downstairs of yourpany. I''ll wait for you. Shirley tried her best to recall, and finally remembered that there seemed to be girl named A in the novel, who was the best friend of the original female supporting role. However, the author did not exin her character and appearance in detail, so it was not clear whether the girl was her enemy or a friend. She''d better be alert. Shirley came to the coffee shop. She didn''t know what A looked like, so she had to pretend to look for someone at the door, hoping that A could see herself first. At this time, a girl sitting by the French window of the cafe waved at her. She walked to the opposite of the girl and sat down, smiling at her, and the other party also returned a friendly smile. Shirley looked at her, but in fact, she was observing her. The girl in front of her looked very ordinary. She was not as stunning as Shirley, and could be remembered at a nce. However, when you took a closer look, you would find that girls'' facial features were all very delicate and good- looking. She was wearing a in white T-shirt and a pair of light colored jeans. Although she wore in clothes, she gave people a feeling of innocence. Shirley wondered why the previous supporting female role had such a friend. Shouldn''t her friends all be some socialitedies? It seemed that this girl wouldn''t pose a threat to her. Shirley didn''t say anything. She was waiting for A to speak. "Shirley, how are you doing recently? I''ve seen what happened on the Inte recently. I have wanted to find you but I''m afraid you don''t have time. But I''m really worried about you, so I can''t help asking you out. " A''s face was full of worry, which was not like that of Ka. It could be seen from her eyes that she really cared about Shirley. "I''ve been in a bad condition recently. I''ve been looking for investors everywhere. As you know, since my father fell ill, I have to manage thepany alone. What''s worse, Ka terminated her contract with me at this time. Now the cast, director and scripts are all ready, but we don''t have enough money. " After confirming that they were friends, Shirley didn''t hide anything and told A all her troubles. "What? How could this be? I don''t know you are so difficult now and I can''t help you. What should I do? " A looked more anxious than she was and was about to cry. "I''m also very upset. The investor didn''t want to invests in ourpany, and Ka deliberately took on a drama with the same filming day as mine. The investors all withdrew their investment and turned to Ka. I have no choice but to depend on myself now. " Shirley tried her best to hold back her tears. Looking at her good friend''s distressed look, A felt very sad. She held Shirley''s hand on the table. Although A''s hands were very thin, they were very warm, which reminded Shirley of her friends in the real world. She didn''t know how they were doing recently. Did they miss her and worry about her? Shirley held her warm hands tightly and swore in her heart that she would protect and cherish this friend no matter she could go back or not. "Shirley, it seems that you are really trapped by this difficulty. When we were in college, no matter how difficult things were, you could solve them perfectly. You were always so confident and proud. " From what she said, Shirley knew that the two of them have been friends since they were in college. No wonder they would meet friends from all ces and from different families only in college. Only in college would they meet friends who were really good to her and knew all about her. "Shirley, I believe you. With your ability, you can definitely solve it! I will always support you!" A was still holding her hands tightly. From her eyes, Shirley could see firmness and trust. "Can I?" Shirley couldn''t help asking herself. "I don''t dare to say that to others, but I'', sure you can definitely do it! You are my favorite and admiring friend." A''s hand seemed to have magic power. At this time, she felt that there was a steady flow of energy passing from A''s hand to her. She felt that she had the ability to solve all problems now. "Okay! Thank you so much! If you hadn''t encouraged me this time, I might have given up. " Shirley sincerely thanked A. She was the only friend in this world who gave encouragement and warmth to her. She chatted with A about all kinds of things that had happened in the university. In fact, most of words were said by A. after all, Shirley didn''t know anything about what had happened in their university. So she could do nothing but listen and smile. After seeing A off, Shirley left the cafe. On her way home, her heavy heart became much better. A was really like the sun in her life. After talking with her, Shirley renewed her vigor and decided to continue her search for a new investor. What Shirley didn''t know was that Samuel usually went home on time, but this time, she didn''t go home immediately. Samuel also heard that she had been in trouble with investors, so he was worried about her. He drove to thepany to look for her. In fact, when Shirley was crying in the office with her arms around her knees, Samuel saw everything through the ss. But he didn''t want to go in andfort her, so he had to look at her quietly, thinking that maybe she would be better after crying for a while. However, he didn''t know why he would do this. In the past, he always felt that Shirley was domineering and unreasonable and he might never take a look at such a woman this life. However, the Shirley he saw recently didn''t seem to be as domineering as he thought. She was not invincible as a strong woman. She would also be confused and at a loss, just like an ordinary girl who had just entered the society. Looking at such a woman, Samuel felt a little strange, and he even had a feeling of hugging her. Seeing that she received a message and was about to go out, Samuel hurried to stand behind the wall to prevent her from finding him. After a while, he walked into the cafe and looked at her silently across the street, fearing that she would discover him. He watched her chatting with a girl for a long time. She had been depressed, but she gradually cheered up during the chat. Samuel felt a little relieved. At least she was not depressed all the time. Samuel thought that he didn''t need to worry about Shirley, so he drove home with relief. When Shirley came back home, she found that Samuel had already had dinner at the table, and the dishes were cooked by the nanny. Hearing that Shirley was back, Samuel didn''t even look up at her. He just said, "Have dinner." Then he didn''t say anything. Shirleyined in her heart, ''this man is really cold-blooded. I don''t believe that he doesn''t know what happened to me recently, but he doesn''t say a word. Yes, I am nothing in his heart, how dare I expect him to care about me.'' She didn''t know why she was so angry. She didn''t eat anything but went back to her room. Anyway, she didn''t want to see him. Chapter 17 Selling Assets Chapter 17 Selling Assets Because the filming boot time, cast and director were all ready, and there were still ten days left, it meant that Shirley had to find a suitable investor within ten days. After chatting with A, Shirley was very confident now. But even if she was confident, she still had nothing except for some passion. After all, Ka had a strong fans basis, which attracted investors. No investor was willing to take the risk to support her. Shirley tried hard to find an investor, but there was still no result. Just after Shirley had a talk with apany, the other party still had no intention of investing. She walked out of the office in disappointment, but she met Damon at the entrance of thepany. Damon wore a very formal suit and leather shoes customized in Italy today. He would only wear them like this at work. He usually wore casual clothes. It seemed that he came to thispany for work today. Seeing him, Shirley felt unhappy. She turned her head on purpose and wanted to go out from another door, but Damon blocked her way before her. Shirley raised her head and looked at the unruly look on Damon''s face. At the thought of what he had done, she wondered what was wrong with the previous supporting role, Shirley. Was she blind? How could she fall in love with such a person and even love him so much? It was true that Shirley didn''t even want to look at him now. Seeing that she couldn''t escape this verbal battle in the end, she said to him, "it''s said that a good dog won''t block the way. What are you going to do, Mr. Damon?" "Oh, you are so arrogant. After I warned youst time, I thought you would restrain yourself when you saw me. It seems that you haven''t received enough punishment." Damon was sessfully irritated by her. Thinking of the scene that Damon asked others to take off her clothes and the threat she had madest time, Shirley clenched her fists tightly and her nails fell into her palms, but she didn''t feel any pain at all. At this time, the anger and hatred in her heart had almost made her lose her mind. Shirley wanted to leave here as soon as possible. She didn''t want to see Damon''s face again, or she would really go crazy. As soon as she took a step forward, Damon grabbed her wrist to prevent her from moving. "What are you doing? Let me go. " Shirley struggled hard. She felt it disgusting to let this scum touch her body. She really wanted to cut off her skin, but she couldn''t get rid of him with her strength. She could only let him grab her. "What? Don''t you have a sharp tongue? Why do you run away like a stray dog? Aren''t you very arrogant? Don''t run away. " Looking at Shirley who was about to leave, Damon felt that she didn''t dare to fight against him, so she wanted to escape. He was even morecent. "I heard that you have been looking for investors everywhere recently? What? There must be no way out. Is there any result? You looked so disappointed just now. Is it settled? " Damon deliberately satirized Shirley. Finally, Damon seized the opportunity to humiliate Shirley. How could he easily let her go? He continued to satirize, "Shirley, you haven''t given up yet. Your drama and Ka''s y start at the same day, and the investors all go to Ka. You won''t find capital. But if you ask me and Ka for help, maybe I can give you a sum of money to maintain the running of yourpany. How about my advice? Are you moved?" "I won''t ask for your and that woman''s money even if I go bankrupt. Just give up." Shirley said to Damon coldly with a stubborn look on her face. "Didn''t you love me very much before? Didn''t you always do as I said? I know you married my brother just to piss me off. It means that you still love me, right? How about this? As long as you beg me, I can consider you to be my underground lover and I will raise you, okay? I can hide it from Ka, and you can hide it from my brother. We can still be together like before, okay? " Damon got close to Shirley''s ear and teased her. In fact, he would never ept Shirley again in his heart. He said that only because he was confident that if it was before, Shirley might agree. After all, she really loved him and didn''t want to leave him. But now, Shirley was no longer the woman she used to be. Shirley was a person with a clear distinction between love and hate. Her thoughts could not be mixed with any other emotions. Moreover, when she read this novel, she hated this man very much. He waszy and very fickle, liking to y with women. His thoughts were so dirty, which was disgusting. Shirley felt suffocated and disgusted when she breathed in the same air with him, let alone hearing such greasy words. She really didn''t know why he had the courage. Did God give him the courage? The woman broke free from his grip and said coldly, "be your mistress? How could you say something like that? Shame on you. I think you''d better hold the hypocritical Ka in your arms for the rest of your life. Last time I reminded you and tell you what kind of person Ka is. If you don''t believe me, you will be tricked to death by that woman sooner orter. At that time, you will be driven to desperate, but this is also your retribution. It''s really happy to think about it." Damon didn''t expect her to react like this. In the past, no matter what he had done, Shirley would forgive him, and she had never seen such a look in her eyes. Even if he betrayed her, there had been still love in Shirley''s eyes. However, although the woman in front of him didn''t change her face, she gave off apletely different feeling. The cold look in her eyes was like looking at a stranger. And the hatred in her eyes was pure. She just wanted him to disappear from the world. After saying that, Shirley turned around and left, leaving Damon in a daze. Damon felt an invisible p hit on his face, because what he had been nned well didn''t go as he had expected. The moment Shirley turned around, Sam''s voice sounded. This time, it seemed that even Sam was happy for her. His voice was full of joy. "It was a sessful humiliation to the hero! Your experience increased again, level one! Keep going!" Hearing Sam''s voice, a smile appeared on Shirley''s face. It turned out that scolding Damon could help her upgrade. It seemed that when she met him in the future, she could do nothing but scold him. Although cursing was very pleasant, the reality was still pressing on Shirley. She hadn''t found the fund yet. Shirley had never been so eager for money like now. After returning to her office, Shirley thought for a long time. She didn''t want to use this method, but now she really had no choice. That was to sell her property. The working capital in Shirley''s hand was almost a drop in the bucket, but she had checked her real estate and found that she had several houses, which were bought by her father a few years ago. They must have risen in value. This was the Shirley knew that these houses were Shirley''s father''s love for her, but her father''spany was about to be destroyed, so she couldn''t care so much. Father was seriously ill abroad, and he wouldn''t know it. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Therefore, when she seeded, she was confident that Shirley could buy it back at a high price. After making this decision, Shirley called a meeting to inform all shareholders of her own decision. "Everyone, ourpany has fallen into an unprecedented predicament. Now the only thing we can turn over is to sell all my property to invest in this TV drama." As soon as Shirley finished her words, all the shareholders were surprised. They had never expected that Shirley could do such a thing for thepany, but the opinions of the shareholders were still very different. "Have you ever thought about the shareholders like us? We strongly objected to the decision of finding a new actressst time, but you still stick to your own way. This time, it''s about financial problems. If this drama can''tpete with the y that Ka just epted, thepany will really be over!" "But this is the key to our turning over! If I don''t do that, ourpany will definitely do bankrupt! If we do so, maybe we still have a glimmer of hope!" Shirley tried her best to persuade all the shareholders. As long as they nodded in agreement, the n could be implemented immediately. "Miss Shirley, I support you. To conquer or to die this time!" Said a young and hot blooded shareholder. "What are you talking about? If Shirley fails this time, have you ever thought about the consequences? She will lose everything." This was the founding member of thepany who had worked hard with her father. Shirley called him Uncle Gu. "Uncle Gu, I know you are worried about me, but this is myst chance. I have to give it a try. I think if my father meets this situation, he will make the same choice." "s! You are right. You and your father are the same kind of person. I won''t say anything more. It''s up to you. " Uncle Gu was the most stubborn one among the shareholders. As long as she got his consent, it would be easy. At this time, in Samuel''s office. A man stood at his desk and reported something to Samuel. HIs assistant knew from the spies in Shirley''spany that she was going to sell off her property. So he was reporting it to Samuel. Samuel, who knew this, was also shocked. Although he thought that Shirley''s action was very risky, he had to admit that this woman was indeed very bold. She even sold his property to keep thepany. But there was no other way. He admired this woman in his heart. Shirley always felt that Samuel was ruthless, with only interests and hatred in his eyes. However, recently, Samuel seemed to have left a special ce for this woman in his heart. He cared about Shirley very much, but he didn''t show it every time. He even deceive himself in the name of cooperation. Chapter 18 Be Fooled Again Chapter 18 Be Fooled Again After the meeting, Shirley began to n to sell her property. First of all, she asked someone to estimate the price of several houses, and they were sold out in less than a day. In fact, Shirley''s property was not only about the houses. Her father had given her mother a lot of jewelry before, and they were all treasures from the auction. But at the same time, it was also her father''s love for her mom. Shirley had seen the jewelry one by one. When her mother was alive, except for attending somerge- scale events, she had put other jewelry in the safe box. Since her mother had passed away, only her father had asionally opened the safe box to look at the jewelry to miss his wife. When Shirley opened the safe, she saw the neatly arranged jewelry, on which there was a card recording the time, but the years were different. Shirley guessed that it might be their wedding anniversary. She couldn''t help thinking of her parents. In fact, she lived in an ordinary family. Her parents were not important people, so their life was very simple. However, Shirley could always find love from the way they looked at each other. It was not the reckless love when they were young, but the deep and strong love after years. Therefore, when Shirley saw those jewelry, she felt a sense of familiarity for no reason. If she hadn''t been in such a predicament, she wouldn''t have sold them for the rest of her life. Shirley handed them over to an auction house. She swore to herself that she would buy them back when she got through the difficulty. After so many setbacks and setbacks, the funds were finally solved and everything was ready. The start day was just around the corner, but the biggest concern in Shirley''s mind was that Ka would make trouble again that day. As expected, Ka had been waiting for Shirley at the filming site for a long time. This time, Shirley knew that she couldn''t avoid it, so she''d better fight back face to face, so that she could live a peaceful life in the following few days. Today, Ka was still wearing her favorite white dress and a pink Chanel coat. If these were worn by other girls, Shirley would think that it was a symbol of purity and innocence. But she knew Ka''s true face, so Shirley felt that the white color was probably stained by her. On the other hand, Shirley was dressed in a simple sportswear. After all, she was not here to show off, but to work. Shirley saw that Ka had been waiting there for a long time with her arms crossed over her chest. Instead of dodging, Shirley walked straight to her. Seeing that Shirley didn''t ignore her and instead walked towards her, Ka was a little confused. Normally, Shirley didn''t want to get involved with her, so she took off her sunsses. The two stood face to face. Although Ka wore ten-centimeter high-heeled shoes, she was still not as tall as Shirley who wore sneakers. "How are you going? I''m afraid you will have a hard time these days. " With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Ka looked at Shirley with arrogance andcency in her eyes. If those men saw her like this, would they still treat her as a goddess? "Yes, thanks to you. I have been busy these days in vain." If it weren''t for the news that Ka had taken This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. part in a new drama, the investors wouldn''t have withdrawn their investment all of a sudden, and she wouldn''t havee to the stage of selling her property. Looking at Ka''s face, Shirley really wanted to p her in the face. She hoped that she could restrain herself and not irritate her. "I heard that you sold all your property and sold all the jewelry your father gave to your mother. What a pity. By the way, look what''s this." Ka raised her white wrist. There was a bracelet on it, which was very eye-catching. The beads on the bracelet were all precious emeralds, and there was a circle of broken diamonds around each gem, which was very luxurious and precious. And this bracelet was one of the jewelry that she had sent to the auction. Shirley was shocked and grabbed her wrist. Her eyes were full of anger. "Why is it here? ?" Ka broke free from her grip at once. Because Shirley held her too tightly, there was a red mark on her arm. Just then, Ka saw Samuel not far behind Shirley. Samuel had heard that Shirley''s new drama was on today and he came to visit her. But he didn''t expect to meet the two of them. Since they were too far away, he couldn''t hear the conversation between Shirley and Ka clearly. It was exactly because Ka saw Samuel that she said something to irritate Shirley. "Of course I bought it. Damon bought it for me. Your father has a good taste and it suits me well." Ka held her wrist in front of Shirley on purpose to show her the bracelet. After what had happened in the past few days, Shirley hated Ka very much. What''s more, she dared to show off in front of her with the gift from her father to her mother. Shirley only felt that anger filled her whole chest, making her lose her mind. Shirley raised her arm. With a crisp sound, a red mark appeared on Ka''s face. Yes, Shirley pped her across the face handsomely. After pping Ka, Shirley felt happy! She had wanted to do that for a long time. Since she came here, she had to see the hypocritical face of Ka and had to bear all kinds of her framing. She had been holding her anger for a long time and finally her wish was fulfilled. However, Shirley didn''t notice a tiny detail. After Shirley pped her, a hint ofcency shed through her eyes. However, thecency just shed by and her expression immediately softened, without the arrogance just now. Shirley thought Ka had really yielded. But the next second, she heard Samuel''s voice. Shirley thought, ''I just wondered why Ka didn''t fight back. It turned to be...'' Samuel couldn''t hear their conversation. He only saw that Shirley raised her hand and pped Ka in the face. He was furious. He rushed forward and stood in front of Ka to protect her. His angry face suddenly appeared in front of her, which frightened Shirley. She had never seen Samuel''s expression like this. She felt that things were not going well. It seemed that he had really pissed him off. "Why are you so vicious? How did Ka provoke you? How dare you hit her?" Samuel questioned Shirley. "She..." Shirley wanted to exin, but was interrupted by Ka. "Mr. Samuel, don''t me Shirley. It''s all my fault. Here was the thing. A few days ago, Damon bought a bracelet at an auction. Today, I happened to meet Shirley and wanted to have a talk her. Unexpectedly, she saw the bracelet. It turned out that this bracelet was the relic of her mother. I didn''t know it. It''s a misunderstanding. I don''t me Shirley. After all, it belongs to her mother. I can understand." Damn it! Ka acted like a victim again. Shirley hated to see Ka''s hypocritical look the most. "That''s why you hit Ka. Ka said she didn''t know it. Why can''t you talk peacefully?" After knowing the so-called truth, Samuel''s impression of Shirley decreased greatly. "Yes, Shirley, if you had told me earlier, I could have returned it to you. For our long-term friendship, money doesn''t matter at all." Ka continued to add fuel to the fire. A drop of tear fell down at the right time, which made her look rather pitiful and lovable. Samuel saw that a kind-hearted girl like her had suffered so much grievance and was so considerate. He immediately softened his heart, and looked at Shirley with more dissatisfaction. "Shirley, I want you to apologize to Ka right now!" Samuel forced Shirley to apologize. Looking at Samuel''s ruthlessness and Ka''s smug eyes, Shirley knew that she was fooled by Ka again and she sessfully confused right and wrong. She knew that no matter what she said, Samuel would never believe her. Perhaps he had never believed her from beginning to end, thinking that she was a vicious woman. However, it didn''t matter. She didn''t need anyone''s trust. All she needed to do was to upgrade and return to the real world. Thinking of this, Shirley obstinately tried to suppress her inner grievance. But, did Shirley really think so? Samuel helped her again and again. She was moved, and even had a good impression of him. But now, everything was gone. Shirley didn''t want to defend herself, so she turned around and left. However, just as she turned around, a tear fell down, and she felt a dull pain in her heart. Seeing that Shirley turned around and left, Samuel felt that something was wrong. But he couldn''t tell what it was. He was really angry and disappointed now. Afterforting Ka, Samuel drove away. Holding the steering wheel in his hand, Samuel''s mind was full of the figure of Shirley when she just left. Was what he had seen before all disguised as Shirley? When he saw that Shirley cried because she missed home, his impression of her had changed. And in the office, he saw Shirley crying alone. He always felt that he had misunderstood her. But what happened today, just in front of him, Shirley hit the innocent Ka, so vicious and ruthless. Which one was the real Shirley? In the bedroom, Shirley sat alone on the bed. She went back to her room and locked the door. At this time, the tears had dried up, and Shirley didn''t have any more tears to waste. Thinking of what had just happened, she held the sheet tightly. She thought that if time went back, she would still p her without hesitation! But when she thought of the way Samuel looked at her, strange and cold, she felt wronged. The matter was not like what Ka said. Why didn''t everyone listen to what she said and only kept ming her? Chapter 19 A Vicious Woman Chapter 19 A Vicious Woman The p mark on Ka''s face was so obvious that the assistant asked the director for a day off and said that Ka felt a little ufortable. The director asked everyone to take a day off and dyed it until tomorrow. After Ka went back home, she waited for Damon toe back, but she was not so stupid as to directlyin to Damon. She was good at using roundabout ways. After Damon returning home, she cooked a full table of dishes for him, all of which were his favorite. Then she went back to her room and pretended to sleep. When Damon returned home, he was very happy to see the dishes cooked by Ka. However, when he heard that Ka was not feeling well on the film set, she went home ahead of time and even cooked for him, he was moved and distressed. When he walked to their bedroom, he opened the door and found that Ka was sleeping on the bed. He was very worried. He thought to himself, ''if she is feeling better? Why does she fall asleep without eating?'' He walked slowly to the bedside, gently put his hand on Ka''s shoulder, bent down, slowly approached Ka''s face, and whispered in her ear in a gentle and maic voice, "Ka, wake up. Are you feeling better? How can you cook for me if you feel ufortable? Let''s eat together." Ka was woken up by Damon, "Damon, I still feel a little ufortable. Let me have a rest for a while." Ka was always good at pretending to be weak. "Are you still not feeling well? Get up and let me have a look. " Damon''s eyes were full of pity. "I''m fine. You can go to have dinner." Ka buried her head in the quilt so that Damon wouldn''t see the other half of her face. Damon felt that there was something wrong with Ka, so he asked her to get up, but Ka insisted that she was fine. When a woman said she was fine, there must be something wrong. Damon always knew this. So he pulled Ka out of the quilt, but she didn''t look at him. Damon was confused and wondered if something had happened on the film set? I heard that Shirley also started her new drama today. Is it... Damon slowly tilted the other side of Ka''s face to one side. The obvious palm print on it pricked Damon''s eyes. For a moment, his face changed greatly and he was very angry. He thought of a person, Shirley, but he still wanted to hear what Ka would say. "This... How? Who did this? No wonder you said you were ufortable!" Looking at the palm print, Damon''s eyes turned red. He had been overwhelmed by anger. "No one. I... did it..." No one would believe what Ka said. "Ka, it''s okay. Just tell me. I''ll back you up and seek justice for you!" "It''s Shirley, but... She didn''t mean it! Damon, don''t be angry. I''m fine." Ka pretended to be forced to tell the truth, and Damon''s reaction was exactly what she wanted. "I knew it was her! I knew it! I won''t spare her this time! " Damon didn''t expect that Shirley would go too far and even beat others. "Why? Ka, she wouldn''t hit you for no reason, would she? Tell me what happened." "Do you still remember the bracelet you bought me a few days ago? I didn''t expect it to be the relic of Shirley''s mother. When we met on the film set today, she saw this bracelet on my hand. Maybe she thought I didn''t respect her mother. I can understand it. After all, it''s about her parents. Besides, your brother saw this and defended me on the spot. But it seemed that Shirley was unhappy about it." Ka still tried to fool Damon with the excuse of fooling Samuel. Sure enough, as brothers, they all believed this. Damon turned around and saw the bracelet on the dressing table, recalling the auction a few days ago. That day, when Ka was browsing the news on the Inte, she saw several pieces of precious jewelry were going to be auctioned. She saw the jewelry photo on the photo and thought of the photo taken by the man she sent to observe the whereabouts of Shirley. In the photo, Shirley talked to the people in the auction house with the jewelry in her hands. Then, she came up with another idea to deal with Shirley. She first showed her interest in the auction in front of Damon and said that it was beautiful and she liked it. As expected, Damon invited Ka to watch the auction together. At the auction, as soon as the bracelet came out, she recognized that it was from Shirley. Ka said to Damon, "Wow! It''s beautiful! I like it so much. I would be very happy if I could have it." As expected, Ka knew Damon very well. No matter how much the price was, Damon kept bidding until he finally got the bracelet. Then he gave it to Ka. The two of them went out for a candlelight dinner and spent Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. a wonderful night. In ancient times, there was a beacon y to win the praise of the empress. But now, [ ] was just like the emperor. He never stingy with the material needs of [ ]. As long as [ ] was happy, it was worth it. He was proud of it and felt that there was no better man than him in the world. However, no one would have thought that the delicate and lovely Ka could be so scheming. She first lured Damon to the auction house and then let him to buy the bracelet, in order to humiliate Shirley with this bracelet one day. This method was brilliant. It was Ka''s n, but Damon would feel sorry for Ka. After all, this bracelet was given to her by himself. A man would only feel that if he didn''t give it to her, his beloved woman wouldn''t be hurt. In the bedroom, Ka gently hugged Damon and said, "Don''t me Shirley. After all, she used to be my good friend." But this sentence was like a curse, as if telling Damon that it was that woman who did all this. She hurt the woman you loved. Damonforted Ka in a soft voice and promised her that he wouldn''t do anything to Shirley. However, Ka knew Damon very well. He loved her very much all the time and didn''t want her to suffer any grievance. Although he had promised not to get even with Shirley, Damon couldn''t swallow his anger. He would definitely go to find her. This time, there were two advantages. One was that she could maintain her good image in front of Damon, and the other was that she could let Damon take revenge for this p. Since she left the set, Shirley had shut herself in her room and didn''t go to the filming ce. She sat on the bed all the time, and Samuel didn''te to her again. In the evening, Shirleyy in bed for a sleepless night. That night, Shirley thought a lot. Recalling what had happened after she came here, Shirley became more and more desperate. At first, she had a glimmer of hope for Samuel. Although the purpose of the two of them being together was not simple, Samuel had helped her a lot. She was more or less moved. But what happened todaypletely destroyed all the fantasies of Shirley. She decided to lock up her heart from now on and not let it have any waves. She had to learn from Samuel. In business and life, she had to be indifferent and ruthless. After tonight, Shirley seemed to put on an invisible armor for herself. On the second day, Damon went to the CEO''s office after going to work. "Brother, I heard what happened yesterday. Thank you for protecting Ka." "It''s okay. Ka is a good girl. She shouldn''t have been hurt." Samuel epted Damon''s thanks frankly. "But, brother, shouldn''t you teach Shirley a lesson? After all, you are a couple now. Don''t let her do such a thing again and disgrace our Ji family." Samuel''s face darkened, but he didn''t say anything. Aftering out of Samuel''s office, Damon drove to Shirley''spany. He couldn''t let Ka suffer from injustice for no reason. He must get even with her. After entering the Xia Group, Damon knew that Shirley was not in the office. He heard from his assistant that Shirley was talking with someone in the coffee shop downstairs, so he went to the coffee shop without saying anything. At this time, in the cafe, Shirley was talking happily with a man. The novel had mentioned that this man was Shirley''s business partner, and he had always been admiring Shirley. Shirley was also surprised that he suddenly contacted her today. After meeting the man, Shirley found that this man was very handsome. Although objectively speaking, he was not as handsome as Samuel and Damon, he also had a good-looking appearance. The key point was that this man was very gentle, just like the spring breeze, giving people a gentle and The man had been working hard in the business world for many years, which was one of the reasons why Shirley agreed to meet him. Because she wanted to learn some business knowledge from him. After all, she was not the previous Shirley. She just graduated from university. She had no social experience and knew nothing about business, so she had taken a lot of detours, which led to the final selling of her property. Therefore, this man could solve the burning anxiety of Shirley. During the chat, the man also mentioned that Shirley sold off her property. He said that if she didn''t have enough money, he could do his best. But Shirley refused. She would rather lose everything herself than owe her friend. However, what Shirley didn''t expect was that there was a pair of eyes staring at her at the moment. As soon as Damon entered the cafe, he saw Shirley sitting with a man, smiling like a flower. She had done such a thing to Ka, but she was still in the mood to tryst with a man, and her smile was so brilliant. It was really hateful! Damon was furious. Chapter 20 Grievance! Chapter 20 Grievance! Thinking of how aggrieved Ka was yesterday, Damon walked quickly to the two of them. Obviously, both the man and Shirley were shocked. When Shirley saw the angry face of Damon, she probably knew why he came, but the man didn''t know him. "Shirley, is this your friend? You should make an introduction. " The man behaved politely and decently. ''What friend! Do you think this man can be my friend?'' Shirley was so embarrassed, but she didn''t want to lose face in front of him. She just smiled and didn''t say anything. Damon didn''t want to know the man, so he grabbed Shirley''s arm and dragged her out of the cafe. Shirley tried her best to struggle but failed. She had to let him pull her to the alley beside the shop. Shirley was pushed against the wall by him. Her back was hit. Shirley thought it would be bruised, but she would never show weakness in front of him. She had to endure the pain. "I think you know why Ie to you." Damon came straight to the point. "I know. It''s just for the p yesterday, isn''t it? Ka must have described this matter exaggeratedly. Even if I tell you the truth, you won''t believe it, will you?" After saying that, Shirley chuckled as a self- mockery. "The truth? How dare you tell me the truth? " Damon didn''t believe what Shirley said at all. Shirley didn''t want to say anything more. "Why are you so vicious? Why do you make trouble for Ka? I have let you go several times before, but you still go too far this time." At this moment, Damon just thought that Ka had been wronged and he wouldn''t let her go this time. "Did I go too far? She dared to show off in front of me with my mother''s belongings. She deserved it! It''s kind of me to p her!" Shirley couldn''t bear it anymore and told him what had happened at that time. Hearing what Shirley said, Damon was more convinced of what Ka said. It turned out that Shirley''s bracelet was a trouble for Ka. But Ka didn''t know it was her mother''s belongings before, and the bracelet was given by himself. Ka was bullied by Shirley after only wearing it for one day. What a coincidence! The bracelet Ka was wearing was exactly her mother''s. "Ka has always been low-key and never shows off anything. This time, she wore the bracelet because I gave it to her. You so vicious. Do you think everyone is as bad as you?" "Yes, I am the most vicious woman in the world. Don''t youe to get even with me? Come on, avenge Ka. Give me a p too!" Shirley had always been misunderstood and insulted. At this moment, her eyes were red. Looking at the crazy woman in front of him, Damon raised his hand unconsciously. Seeing that Damon was really going to hit her, Shirley closed her eyes and waited for him to make a move. She looked as if she was being ughtered, but she didn''t feel the pain as she had expected. Shirley slowly opened her eyes and found that the man had put down his hand. "I won''t hit you. First, I''m a man. I won''t hit a woman. Second, beating you will only dirty my hands. This is thest time I let you go. Next time, if I know you hurt Ka again, don''t me me for being rude to you. What''s more, the Xia Film Company has just begun to rise. You have devoted all your money to it. I don''t think you want me to do anything to yourpany, right?" Damon''s voice was not loud but it was enough for the two to hear clearly, which made Shirley feel threatened. If Damon wanted to do something to her, Shirley didn''t care. But Damon said he wanted to take action against the Xia Film Company. Absolutely no way! Thispany was founded by her father himself, and he had devoted so much effort to it. If Damon wanted to take action against the Xia Group, Shirley would definitely not be able to defeat him. After all, he was backed by the Ji Group. Seeing that the woman in front of him stopped talking, Damon thought that the woman had yielded. It turned out that she also had something to fear. It seemed that this woman was frightened. Damon turned around and left, leaving Shirley alone. Shirley slowly slid down the wall and squatted down in despair. Right now, it was the most critical moment for the Xia Film Company. The sess of this TV drama would determine the survival of the Xia Group. Therefore, she couldn''t be willful anymore. She couldn''t offend Damon just out of impulse. If Damon really did something to the burden. Even if she was wronged and cursed at by others, she could only endure this and not fight back. Damn it! How aggrieved! At this time, Shirley''s business partner in the coffee shop watched her being taken away inexplicably. He didn''t understand why and thought that there might be something urgent to talk to her. He sat in the same ce and waited for her toe back. After a while, Shirley came back to take her bag in a daze. Seeing that she didn''t look well, the man asked with concern, "Are you okay, Shirley?" After what had happened just now, Shirley was not in the mood to talk to him anymore. She struggled to say to him, "I''m fine. I just feel a little ufortable. I''m sorry. I want to go home and have a rest. Goodbye." "Okay, it doesn''t matter. Do you need me to drive you home?" The man asked gently. "No, thanks. My car is in the parking lot. I can go home myself. Thank you." Shirley refused the man''s kindness. The man had no choice but to watch Shirley leave. In fact, Shirley didn''t go home. She drove to the film set. No matter how depressed and desperate she was now, she had to care about the progress of the new drama. Everything went well on the set. She went to the set for two reasons. One was to visit the filming site, and the other was to prepare for the opening ceremony of the film. Although the shooting of the new y had begun, the opening ceremony hadn''t been held yet. There must be a formal ceremony for the shooting of the new y, which was a convention in the entertainment circle. She didn''t drive back home until she contacted the ce and confirmed the invitation list. When she got home, it was already evening. Shirley was so busy that she didn''t have dinner. Of course, she was not in the mood to eat either. Exhausted, Shirley went back to her room. At this moment, she was more mentally tired than physically tired. She had never been physically and mentally exhausted. Samuel had been working in the study. When he heard some noise, he knew that it was Shirley. He opened the door and walked to Shirley''s room. However, he heard a faint sobing from the room. When Shirley just entered the room, she didn''t close the door tightly. At this moment, Samuel could just see Shirley sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. After returning to her room, Shirley didn''t turn on the light. When it was dark around, she couldn''t help but burst into tears. But she was afraid that Samuel would hear it and let him see her being so useless, so she didn''t dare to cry loudly. She had no choice but to cry silently. She didn''t expect that the person she didn''t want him to see the most was staring at her outside the door. What happened yesterday and today had made Shirley unable to hold on. She felt wronged and angry, but she had to hold it back. Now she couldn''t stand it anymore. Ka, that scheming bitch, had been This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. setting her up and framing her, which had put her into a desperate situation again and again. However, her desire to go home supported her to go forward with difficulty step by step to today. Besides, she didn''t care about Damon''s threats and insults again and again. Anyway, she would go through it as long as she gritted her teeth and bear it. But that''s fine. When she had no rtives in this world, she knew that although Samuel was only her partner, at least he would not harm her and stand together with her. So she began to believe a person and have a crush on him. But yesterday, that man broke her heart. Samuel would rather help others scold her than listen to her exnation. Tears rolled down her cheeks and dropped on the bed sheet. Once Shirley began to cry, her tears would flood over her eyes. She thought to herself, ''just let her be willful for once. She has decided to lock her heart in her heart, but after all, she is still a woman.'' At this time, Samuel, who was standing outside the door, looked at the figure shrank into a ball in the darkness. The moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the window, and some of it fell on Shirley''s body. In Samuel''s eyes, Shirley, who was crying in the dark, didn''t look like the woman he had knew before at all. At this moment, the moonlight fell on her body, looking very gentle but a little sad. Not knowing why, Shirley looked so thin, pitiful and helpless in front of him. He couldn''t help but want to hold her in his arms, gently stroked her hair,forted her in a soft voice, and wiped away all her tears. Samuel was really conflicted now. In the past, Shirley was abandoned by Damon, and Damon was their marriage certificate, it was actually a way to revenge on Damon. The two of them did not have any love to each other. At that time, he thought that this woman was cold and ruthless, and she would definitely not cry helplessly like now. However, Shirley''s actions made his impression change little by little, and his heart slowly softened. It was rare for Shirley to cry, which, however, was always seen by Samuel without her awareness. Samuel couldn''t tell which was the real face of Shirley, the one who pped Ka in front of him yesterday or the one who was crying silently in the room now? Did Ka really say something excessive yesterday to irritate Shirley? But what would such a weak girl like Ka say? However, Shirley had always misunderstood Ka and they couldn''t get along with each other. She had even made difficulties for Ka several times. Samuel really didn''t know what kind of person Shirley was now. Chapter 21 Make A Request Chapter 21 Make A Request The second morning, Shirley was awakened by the bird''s singing outside the window. Last night, she cried and got tired. She didn''t know when she fell asleep. When she got up and washed up, she found that her eyes were swollen. She had no choice but to wear sunsses all day long. After crying so hard yesterday, she felt better. But when she arrived at thepany, she heard a bad news. The manager of the financial department came to report the work to Shirley, telling her that even if she sold all her property, there were still many problems with thepany''s assets. It was known to all that screening TV series was a big and expensive project, and hiring actors, clothing, props and other aspects all needed a lot of money. At present, the reason why the new drama could be filmed smoothly was that it had just begun. But as time went by, it would cost more and more. If they wanted to achieve good results, they had to spend a lot of money into it. However, Shirley had lost everything. Therefore, she had borrowed some debts from the bank and there would be interest. But Shirley was confident that the drama would definitely attract the attention of the audience. Samuel had been observing the situation of Shirley all the time, and he had nted more spies in the Xia Film Company in order to find out what kind of person Shirley was. Therefore, Samuel was the first one to know that she borrowed money. Samuel thought, ''this woman is really brave. She dares to take risks.'' He had always thought that a woman would definitely shrink back when she came to manage apany, but Shirley had tried every means, not giving up, even if she would gone bankrupt. But now, he was a little worried about Shirley. She even borrowed money. Had she ever thought about what she would face if she failed? If she just sold her property and the new drama didn''t have much audience rating, the worst result was that her raise her. After all, she was his legal wife. However, once she borrowed money, it was not a big deal if she seeded. But if she failed, she would have to pay a lot of debt. Was this woman so confident that she wouldn''t fail? But Samuel didn''t know what else Shirley could do to go over the crisis. Once this path started, she had to go on. In Shirley''s eyes, she had never given up halfway, so she would hold out until thest. Maybe it was because although she was the CEO of apany now, she was indeed a fresh graduate student. There was a saying that a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger, wasn''t it? It might be Shirley. Soon, Shirley raised enough money and the filming went smoothly. Because she didn''t have to worry about the financial problem anymore, everything was going in an orderly way. However, someone didn''t want to see Shirley live a good life, and that was Ka. Because she was filming her y in the same ce with Shirley, she could easily know how the shooting of Shirley''s crew was going on. Recently, she heard that Shirley''s new drama went well, so she was very unhappy. When she came back home from the shooting, Damon had already got off work and waited for her to have dinner with him. She knew that after she had been ppedst time, though she said that she didn''t want Damon to get even with Shirley and he also agreed, Ka knew him well and he would never let it go, so he must have looked for Shirley and taught her a hard lesson. Therefore, she felt that she was the one Damon loved the most in the world. She could not help but feel a little proud. She believed that as long as she asked, Damon would definitely agree to her request. When the two of them were having dinner, Ka asked Damon tentatively. "Damon, I heard that Shirley''s new y goes well recently." "Yes, I know. What''s wrong?" Damon answered casually. Seeing that he didn''t have much reaction, she continued. "Can you put more pressure on herpany?" It was the first time that Ka had made such a request to Damon. Although Damon knew that the two of them didn''t get along well with each other, he thought it was a one-sided problem of Shirley and she had been bullying Ka. But since that was the case, why did Ka make such a request? Ka was not such a girl. Damon didn''t understand. "Why? Why did you make such a request?" Damon looked at Ka and asked. Ka was socent that she thought Damon would agree to her request without hesitation. However, Damon was not a fool. Although he loved Ka very much, he would not do whatever she said. He had his own thoughts and ideas. Being stared at by Damon, Ka felt guilty and a little regretful for what she had just said, but Damon had heard it, so she had to go on. "Damon, in fact, there are some things I haven''t told you all the time." Ka lowered her head and showed a pitiful look. Her index fingers kept moving, as if it was very difficult to tell. "Ka, go ahead. I''m listening." Damon''s tenderness was only shown to Ka. Looking at Ka, he stood up and got down from his seat. He squatted on the ground and looked at her watery and charming eyes. He gently put the hair scattered by her ear behind her ear so that he could see her face clearly. "Actually, I don''t want Shirley''spany to develop well. I have never told you that when I was an actress in Shirley''spany, I had a hard time. " Ka spoke frankly. Because of her impulse just now, she had to use thest thing she wanted to mention as an exnation. Hearing what Ka said, Damon frowned. He had a hunch that he would hear something amazing next. Ka continued, "Before I be famous, every time when Shirley had social engagements, she deliberately asked me rece her to deal with those men. Besides, the clients she met were all lecherous and obscene people. In order not to protect herself from invasion, she always introduced me to them. But those people always touched me at the table. Fortunately, I never drink at the table and I Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. can keep sober. But if I get drunk once, they... " As she spoke, Ka covered her face and cried. "Waah... Waah..." Ka cried harder and harder, which melted Damon''s heart. However, what Ka said made him very angry. No wonder Ka made such a request. This woman was so vicious that she asked Ka to do such a thing. That was to say, she was the person Ka loved and trusted most now. Otherwise, she would definitely not want to mention it all her life. Ka cried for a while and gradually calmed down. "I originally had a glimmer of hope for Shirley. I thought she was forced to do so in the past and I could forgive her. But after that p, I decided not to be weak anymore." Ka''s exnation was perfect, which couldpletely arouse men''s sympathy. Sure enough, after hearing what Ka said, Damon felt very sorry for her. This time, hepletely believed Ka''s words. He slowly stood up and gently held Ka, who was still sitting with tears in the corner of her eyes, into his arms tofort her emotions. Ka held Damon''s waist tightly. "Damon, I''m so scared now. Will you dislike me? Not only did I do that before, but now I even put forward this request to you. I must be a bad woman. Will you continue to love me?" As she said, Ka began to shed tears again. "Ka, you are so silly. Why didn''t you tell me earlier? What you have done is all forced by Shirley. I feel lucky that you are fine, or I will be heartbroken. Besides, you have been bullied by Shirley for so long. It''s very normal for you to put pressure on herpany. If I were her, I would directly destroy her Xia Film Company. Besides, how can I not love you? How can I dislike you? My baby, you love you so much." After hearing what Ka said, Damon agreed to her request. He would put pressure on Shirley and wouldn''t let her go so easily. "Don''t say that you are a bad woman. Compared with Shirley, you are the kindest person in the world." Damon grabbed Ka''s shoulder and said to her. At this time, Shirley, who was visiting the crew, sneezed several times andined in her heart, ''who is speaking ill of me behind my back?'' Ka was touched by his words. She smiled through tears. She put her arms around Damon''s neck and slowly approached his face. She gave him a gentle kiss on his face and then tightly held Damon''s neck. She whispered in his ear, "Damon, I love you, and I''ll be with you for the rest of my life." When he heard his beloved woman''s sincere confession to him with her gentle and pleasant voice, he only felt that there was a current in his body, and he became inexplicablyfortable. However, no one noticed that there was a trace of slyness in Ka''s happy eyes. Ka felt that she was finally safe. In Damon''s opinion, her impulsive request did not meet her usual image, which almost ruined her impression in Damon''s heart. It seemed that she must be careful in the future, and no matter what she did, she must think twice before doing. Fortunately, with her exnation and perfect acting skill, Damon believed it and agreed to her request. Ka thought to herself, ''Shirley, you still want to fight with me. As long as I give Damon a few looks and a few words, he could help me without hesitation. Sooner orter, I will let you know what will happen if you offend me. You sell your property, then so what? Even if your new drama goes well, so what? Can you defeat the Ji Group? Chapter 22 Create Difficulties Chapter 22 Create Difficulties After hearing what Ka said, Damon began to n how to put obstacles in Shirley''spany. He couldn''t do it openly. If others knew it, not only his reputation would be ruined, but also the whole reputation of the Ji Group would be damaged. Although he hadn''t taken charge of the Ji Group yet, the group would belong to him sooner orter, so he couldn''t discredit it. So he had to do it from the dark. But what should he do? Shirley''s new drama had just begun. She must need a lot of TV stations or websites as her partners, so Damon nned to start from here. He had asked someone to find out several websites and TV stations that Shirley was contacting, and it was said that everything went well. There were several things that had been settled, but there was a saying that money could make the mare go. All he needed to do was to use money to make trouble for Shirley. Moreover, he nevercked money. Besides, he could also use the brand of the Ji Group, as long as they didn''t tell anyone. Damon arranged several people from his subordinates to meet with Shirley''s partners in secret. He asked them to propose that as long as they didn''t cooperate with Xia Film Company, the Ji Group would invest in them. But there was one condition that they couldn''t mention the Ji Group to Shirley. In order to get arge investment, thesepanies quickly changed their sides. After all, no one could resist the temptation of money. Moreover, if they could cooperate with the Ji Group, it would bring great benefits to thepany. The new drama went on smoothly, and there was no movement from Ka. So Shirley was in a good mood and rxed. She thought she could finally rest for a few days, but she received a call. "I''m sorry, Miss Shirley. We might not be able to y your TV series on our website as we promised before." The man''s tone was very polite and official, but Shirley didn''t feel any sincerity from it. "Why?! We have agreed before, haven''t we? Why don''t you keep your promise? " Shirley was surprised to hear that. "I''m really sorry. This is the order of the superior. I''m just responsible for sending messages. Besides, there are very few trustworthypanies nowadays, and most of them are profit oriented. Of course, we are no exception. Your TV series won''t bring much benefit to us. " The man''s voice was strange, cold and merciless, like a basin of cold water pouring on Shirley''s head, making her instantly awake. The person on the other end of the line heard that Shirley was silent and said sorry before hanging up. Shirley didn''t think too much, but that leader''s action was inappropriate. It wasn''t a big deal. But Shirley was a little disappointed. Normally, the TV stations and website would scramble to buy the copyright of the new TV series, but she had to beg others humbly. It took her a lot of effort to convince them. After all, the Xia Film Company was now in danger. They all thought that the Xia Film Company would definitely go bankrupt in the end. But Shirley had tofort herself that it was okay as long as there were other websites willing to broadcast it. However, things were not as naive as she thought. In the next few days, Shirley received phone calls from severalpanies one after another. Some of them had already reached an agreement with her, while some were still negotiating. But they all said that they didn''t want to cooperate with the Xia Group. If she was refused by onepany, Shirley would not be suspicious. But she had been refused so many times, Shirley felt that this didn''t happen by ident. Someone must be against her. Therefore, Shirley couldn''t just stand by anymore. She couldn''t stand others bullying her. At least, she had to know who did it. So Shirley hired a detective to find out who put obstacles in her way. "Miss Shirley, I''ve found it out for you. After we stayed in your cooperativepany for two days, we found that there was the same person entering thesepanies." "Who is it?" Shirley asked in a hurry. "I''ve sent you the photos." Looking at the photos on her phone, Shirley found that she didn''t know this person. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. "I don''t know him." Shirley told the detective. "But after our tracking, we found that he entered apany -- the Ji Group." Shirley''s mind went nk. Ji Group? Who is it? Damon? However, although he had threatened Shirley to take action against the Xia Groupst time, she hadn''t had any conflict with Ka recently. Moreover, although Damon looked very powerful now, in fact, he was just bluffing. He didn''t have much power in thepany, so he definitely didn''t have the ability to control so manypanies. So, was it Samuel? Although this result was hard for her to ept, there was only one possibility, because only he did have the ability. She remembered that Samuel happened to see her p Ka several days ago. At that time, she defended Ka so much as if Ka was her wife and she was an outsider. What''s more, Samuel had a crush on Ka before. He didn''t show anything until she was with Damon. It seemed that he had been keeping this treasure in his heart all the time. As the saying went, "the best thing is that you can''t get." She thought Samuel would let her go after he yelled at her the other day. It turned out that he didn''t let her go. Was he going to secretly vent his anger for Ka and teach her a lesson? What a good trick. When she got home in the evening, Shirley saw Samuel sitting at the table and having dinner elegantly. She was furious. How could he eat so peacefully after he did this to her? What a hypocritical man. Shirley didn''t want to look at him anymore, so she walked upstairs with her shoes ttering. Samuel nced at her and said, "Don''t you want to have dinner?" "No!" Shirley said in an unfriendly tone. She didn''t want to talk to this hypocrite. Shirley shut herself in the room and didn''t want to see anyone, let alone Samuel. It was not until the nanny knocked on the door and said, "Mrs. Shirley, I have prepared some fruit for you. Pleasee out and take it." When she opened the door to get some fruits, she happened to see Samuel passing by. She rolled her eyes at him and mmed the door with a bang. Samuel was confused. What was wrong with this woman all of a sudden? In the next few days, Shirley and cherry didn''t give Samuel a good look. As for Samuel, he didn''t take the initiative to talk to her. The two of them had been in a cold war, and the misunderstanding between them had been deepened. The only thing that made Shirley happy was that her good friend Anna hade back from France. Shirley had read this Anna in the novel before. She grew up with Shirley and knew her well. Moreover, her family also engaged in the film industry. After Anna came back from abroad and heard about what had happened to Shirley, she immediately came to talk to her. "Shirley, I''ve heard about what happened to you recently. I''m worried about you." Anna held Shirley''s hand and said. "s, it''s a long story." Shirley knew that Anna must have known her current situation, so she didn''t say anything more to her. She just sighed deeply. "It''s okay. I''m back. I can help you. I''ve been abroad for years. At least I can give you some advice. " Anna decided to help Shirley clean up the mess. "Okay! Anna, you are so nice! " After hearing Anna''s words, Shirley''s gloomy world seemed to be suddenly shone into the sun, and she became warm and touched. Although she had encountered a lot of setbacks and difficulties here, what had always gratified Shirley was that she had a lot of friends who treated her sincerely. Shirley had seen too much hypocrisy, so these feelings were very precious, and she wanted to repay them bit by bit. Anna stayed in the office with Shirley every day to give her advice and have meetings with her. With the help of Anna, Shirley felt that she had taken less detours. Due to Damon''s disturbance, all the partners that Shirley had contacted a few days ago had refused her, so Shirley had been busy these days. She really didn''t have a day off. Even if Damon had used some dirty means to steal the partner of Shirley, he was not that omnipotent and powerful. Through Anna''s introduction, Shirley had contacted several more partners, and they were all Anna''s friends. They would never betray them. However, Shirley still believed that those things were all done by Samuel. When she met him, she didn''t talk to him and looked very cold. In fact, Samuel also felt strange these days. What''s wrong with this woman? She ignored him and often rolled her eyes at him. However, through his assistant, Samuel knew that Shirley was busy cleaning up the mess recently, and that she had a friend who hade back from France to help her. Shirley had been workingte for several days in a row, which was all noticed by Samuel. That night, when passing by Shirley''s room, Samuel looked at the light from the gap under the door and knew that Shirley was staying upte again. Thinking of that night when Shirley cried alone, Damon''s heart softened again. He stared at the door of Shirley''s room for a long time, and Shirley''s helpless eyes appeared in his mind. He felt sorry for her. Originally, Samuel''s feelings for Shirley had quietly changed, so when he saw the tired look of the woman these days, he felt a little sad. However, when he thought of how she pped Ka that day, and how she treated him coldly and indifferently these days, he felt very conflicted. Was this kind of woman worthy of his concern for her? Samuel told himself in his heart, ''I can''t be cheated by this woman. Besides, it''s not the right time to talk about the rtionship between a man and a woman. What I should do now is to revenge on the Ji family.'' This woman''s matter had nothing to do with her. It must be because that he has not been in touch with women for a long time and he had be unustomed to it since she moved in. He would be fine after a period of time. Thinking of this, Samuel stopped thinking about Shirley and went back to his room. Chapter 23 The Banquet Chapter 23 The Banquet With the help of Anna, the problem of finding partners were basically solved, and the following things became much smoother. The most important thing for Shirley was the opening ceremony. Shirley didn''t get into too much trouble because she had already booked a hotel and invited guests. The time of the banquet was set in the evening. Shirley, in a high-end dress, appeared at the banquet. It was a light blue dress with a gradual change of color. The top Camisole style made Shirley''s delicate corbone exposed. The tight design on her upper body perfectly highlighted her good figure. There was no fat on her waist, and she was just right skinny. The lower part of her dress was a fishtail skirt, which had a good effect of lengthening her legs. The color of her upper body was white and then gradually turned blue. With the delicate makeup, Shirley looked noble and not vulgar, with a trace of immortal spirit. She was like a fairy. Anyone who saw Shirley at this moment would feel that their eyes lit up. When the party was about to begin, there was amotion outside. Some people went out to check. It turned out to be Ka. Of course, she didn''te to the opening party of Shirley''s y, but the opening party of her new y, which was also booked in this hotel. There was a saying goes ''enemies and lovers are destined to meet'', and the two people met each other again. Today, Ka wore a dress of a famous brand. It was a pink straplessce dress, which was very suitable for her image. Ka was dressed in pink all over her body today, which was very cute and attractive. She looked like a young girl, but she wore a heavy makeup, which was not matched with the overall shape at all. Maybe she had offended the stylist. However, the headline tomorrow would still say that she was fashionable and overwhelming the whole audience. After all, she was the heroine. Ka had been trying to maintain her image as ady all the time. Indeed, she had seeded. No one knew her true face except for Shirley. ording to the scale of the banquet, Ka''s party was particrlyrge, while Shirley''s was slightly inferior. She just wanted to take a simple form, so that the crew could quickly get familiar with each other, and the shooting in the future would be smoother. However, Ka''s opening party was like a press conference. Not only did she invite reporters from all kinds of media, but also the banquet was held in a veryrge ce. And it was just next to Shirley, as if she was here to make her lose face. In fact, Shirley didn''t feel strange at all. Ka was a famous star. All kinds of TV series wanted her to be the leading actress to increase the audience rating, so they must adore Ka as a fairy. And it was known to all that Ka was with the second son of the Ji family now. They all praised them as golden couple. Therefore, with the support of the whole Ji Group, Ka certainly had a high profile, far surpassing the limelight of Shirley. When Shirley saw Ka, Ka also saw her. Therefore, she didn''t know why Ka was walking towards her. There were so many reporters, and it was not easy for Shirley to hide. She had to stand still and see what tricks Ka was going to y this time. Ka stood in front of Shirley with a sweet smile on her face, but only Shirley, who was closest to her, knew that this smile was not friendly. There was a saying that there was a knife hidden in a smile, which was perfectly illustrated by Ka. "What a coincidence, Shirley. You are also holding the opening party here. We have a tacit understanding. We can actually choose a hotel." Looking at the self-directed performance of Ka in front of her, Shirley smiled awkwardly and politely. Then she nodded slightly. After all, there were so many reporters. If she acted very cold, they would definitely write her in a bad way. Then, Ka raised her arm and gently held Shirley''s shoulders. Then all kinds of cameras were raised, and the microphones of reporters were also approaching. It was not until the photos were finished that Ka let go of Shirley. But she whispered in Shirley''s ear that only two people could hear, "this ce you booked is really shabby. If you are interested, you cane to the next room at any timeter." When Shirley heard this, she was very angry. She couldn''t lose her temper even if she wanted. The This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. blue veins on Shirley''s forehead bulged. However, after Ka hugged her, she naturally held her arm, which made Shirley feel ufortable. Sure enough, she still couldn''t stand Ka like this. She really didn''t want to pretend. At this time, the microphones of countless reporters rushed up. "Miss Ka, you are still so intimate with Shirley. Didn''t what happened before affect you?" "Ha ha, the question you asked is not very good. Shirley and I have been good friends for several years. How could the previous trifles affect our friendship? Look, we still have a tacit understanding. Even if I''m not in herpany now, the shooting ce of the new TV series is still the same. " Ka pretended to be pitiful to show that she was a little angry with the reporter''s rude question just now. At this moment, what Shirley was thinking was that it was so disgusting. She was afraid that she would vomit on the spot if the interview didn''t end as soon as possible. How could Ka keep calm and talk about it as if nothing had happened? "I really envy your sisterhood." Others eximed. ''What sisterhood! How could I have such a sister! She kept setting me up and forcing me into a desperate situation. What kind of sister is she?'' Shirley thought angrily. The reporter asked a few more questions about the conflict between the two people not long ago, but they were convinced by Ka''s words. Shirley really admired her in this respect. How did she do it? How could she turn the ck into the white and the wrong thing to the right? Being an actress couldn''t really give full y of Ka''s eloquence. But during this period, Shirley didn''t say a word and let Ka perform well. Finally, after answering more than a dozen questions, the reporters finally let them go. Shirley and Ka also entered different banquets. After the opening ceremony went on for a while, Shirley went to the bathroom. When she just stood up, she heard the sound of high heels and the familiar voice of Ka from outside. Judging from the footsteps, there was another girl, who might be Ka''s assistant. When Ka was fixing her make-up in front of the mirror, the girl next to her asked, "Ka, did you tell the reporters the truth? I don''t think so." "Some was true. As a public figure, it''s impossible that you always tell the truth, because sometimes the truth is not so satisfying." Ka said as she fixed her make-up. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shirley chose to wait quietly in the cubicle for them to leave. And Ka did not know that there was another person in the bathroom. Hearing what Ka said, Shirley felt that what she said was very reasonable and she even felt a little sad for her. Indeed, as a public figure, she would not reveal all the truth of her life to the public. So, lying and pretending had be a habit. She couldn''t really be herself. But what was the meaning of a person if he didn''t even have the freedom to tell the truth and do himself? Hearing the two of them leaving, Shirley also came out of the bathroom. However, she heard a quarrel. She rushed out and found that there was a conflict between the members of her crew and the members of Ka''s. Ka was shocked when she saw Shirleye out of the bathroom. It turned out that she had been eavesdropping on them all the time. Didn''t Shirley hear everything she said? But the scene in front of her made her unable to question Shirley. It turned out that when Ka and others came out of the bathroom just now, they happened to meet workers from Shirley''s film crew. Ka''s assistant said, "They are so poor that they can''t even invite a reporter." However, this sentence clearly reached the ears of Shirley''s crew. "Who are you talking about?! Say it again! " There was a short tempered girl among them. Not to be outdone, a girl on the other side said, "Of course you. The venue of the banquet is so small, and there is not even a reporter. Why are you holding a banquet? It''s so embarrassing." Shirley really learned the meaning of "a man who loses position and influence may be subjected to much indignity." Even an assistant spoke to them in such a tone. Shirley retorted unhurriedly, "little girl, your road is still long. Watch your mouth when you speak. We don''t have any reporters, but we are not as dirty as some people." Shirley said thest sentence to Ka. "Who are you cursing? You''ve already sold all your property and owed a lot of money for this drama. How can you be so arrogant? " Ka couldn''t help saying. "Yes, you are right. I do owe a lot of money, but at least I have a clear conscience. Do you dare to say what you have done in front of everyone? Or do you want me to tell them what kind of person you are? Others don''t know, but I do. Even if they don''t believe what I say, it''s good to cause you some trouble." Shirley threatened Ka on purpose, trying to drive her away as soon as possible. "You!" Ka was speechless and had to leave with her assistant. Seeing that Shirley was so awesome, the film crew admired her very much. Ka was pissed off by her a few words. But they were also curious about the true face of Ka mentioned by Shirley. When they asked Shirley, she just smiled and said, "It''s okay. You don''t have to worry. It''s our personal grudge." So they stopped asking. Then, Sam''s voice came as scheduled, "in front of everyone, you are brave enough to humiliate the heroine. Promote one level! Keep going!" Shirley was very proud of herself, but she didn''t know that all the things that had just happened had been photographed by the paparazzi. Chapter 24 Put On Airs Chapter 24 Put On Airs On the second day, the conflict between Ka and Shirley became the headline. Because it happened at the gate of the hotel''s bathroom, the paparazzi were far away from them. There were only a few photos on the entertainment newspaper and the website headlines, and it was obvious that Shirley was bullying Ka with the numerical superiority. In the first picture, a young girl in Shirley''s film crew pointed at the nose of Ka''s assistant and shouted abuse. The second picture was the scene when Shirley was aggressive. In the third picture, Ka left with her assistant angrily. From these photos, it was obvious that Shirley had the upper hand. Now, Shirley became the focus again. She found that every time she hit the headlines, it was because of Ka, and every time she was the bad party. "What''s wrong with Shirley? Why do you bully Ka every time? She is so kind." "Didn''t Ka say that she was willing to join in the new y of Shirley? Why did she finally find a new actress? Why didn''t she adopted Ka in the TV series she invested? Is it because of the mistake made by her agent? " "Yesterday, they chose the same ce for the opening ceremony of their new ys. I watched an interview, in which Ka has always been friendly to her and always defended her. At that time, I felt the expression on Shirley''s face was very unnatural. I didn''t expect that she would do this to Ka behind her back!" "As a passer-by, to be honest, Ka is a very good tempered star. It''s very rare. Judging from what happened these days, there are indeed conflicts between the two of them, and the main reason is that Shirley is too unreasonable." "Ka is so pitiful. She is a popr A-list star. It seems that when she were in Shirley''spany, Ka was often bullied by Shirley. Now she has nothing to do with herpany, but she is still bullied. She is so pitiful. Fans, we must seek justice for Ka. " Without checking it, Shirley knew that there must be a lot of usations and abuses against her on the Inte, which was really annoying. However, the shooting of the new y had just begun smoothly, but this matter happened at this moment. Shirley really wanted to rify this matter and tell them the truth. However, once she did so, there would definitely be more troubles. She was not in the mood to deal with it now, so she had to endure it. She would deal with it after the shooting entered a stable period. What happenedst time repeated again. Reporters blocked the gate of thepany every day and This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. there was always paparazzi following her. But she chose to remain silent, not because she didn''t dare to face it, but because she chose to escape for the time being, hoping that Ka would not touch her bottom line again. Samuel didn''t understand why Shirley was so cold to her recently, just like he had offended her. However, Samuel knew her whereabouts every day through his assistant, and this time was no exception. After the assistant left, Samuel stayed in the office alone and thought for a while. Then he picked up his phone and called someone. "Hello? Is this the person in charge of XX website? I hope the news about Shirley won''t appear in 5 minutes." "Sam... Mr. Samuel? Oh, okay, I see. " The person on the other end of the phone was the CEO of the biggest entertainment website in the country. But at this moment, he was aspliant as an ordinary employee, because it was Samuel, the CEO of the Ji Group, who called him. If he refused to do as his will, he was afraid that hispany would be gone in 5 minutes. Samuel didn''t say anything more. He immediately hung up the phone and asked his assistant toe in. "Find out who posted these photos online." Samuel looked at the documents in his hands and said to his assistant. Although Samuel didn''t look at him, he felt an inexplicable coldness in the office, like an iceberg. "? What photos? " Samuel''s assistant was confused. Samuel finally raised his head to look at his assistant. He didn''t know why he saw anger in the boss''s eyes. He finally knew where the cold air came from. Although Samuel usually lookedzy and casual, when he was angry, there was always frightening fierceness in his eyes, which scared the assistant out of her wits. Suddenly, an idea urred to him. Was it because the matter about Shirley he just reported to him just now? But he had reported the situation of Shirley to him for a long time. Samuel just learned about it and he never intervened. What happened this time? Sure enough, the CEO''s mind was not ordinary people could understand. "Do you mean the photos published on the news about Miss Shirley?" "Yes. Find out who spread them and where he works. " "Okay." Five minutester, the news about Shirley bullying Ka disappeared on the Inte, as if it had never appeared, and all the rtedments were gone. Theizens knew that there must be someone who suppressed this matter. After a while, the assistant came in. "Mr. Samuel, it was taken secretly by a paparazzi. He works in XX magazine." "Okay, call the general manager of that magazine in my name and ask them to withdraw those photos." "Okay." The assistant left the office and closed the door. There was only Samuel left in the room. He couldn''t focus on his work at all. All he was thinking about was the matter of Shirley. He didn''t know why his heart was bing softer and softer. In the past, Shirley had also been put in the center of the storm, and he could sit by and do nothing. Why couldn''t he hold it back this time? Shirley didn''t get along well with him these days. Why did he still do this for her? But somehow, there seemed to be a voice in his heart that drove him to do so. Samuel didn''t know why he did that, but he didn''t want Shirley to know what he had done for her. At this time, Shirley was working in her office. Suddenly, her assistant rushed in with aptop. "Miss Shirley, look, all the news about you on the Inte is gone. Besides, the photos had been deleted. Miss Shirley, did you ask someone to do it? " The assistant looked at Shirley with a snicker. Shirley was confused. She took theptop from the assistant''s hand and found that all the contents on it had been deleted, and there were even no badments. "I''m not a capable boss. Besides, I''m so busy now. I don''t have time to care about it. But it''s really strange. Who did it? It was impossible that these media took the initiative to delete them. After all, they have to make money by doing so." "Is it Mr. Samuel? After all, you are a couple. How can he leave his wife alone when you are in trouble?" The assistant guessed. "That''s impossible." Shirley said in a low voice. "It''s okay. You can go out first." She asked her assistant to go out first. Shirley thought, ''who did help me? Samuel? That''s impossible! He made trouble for me a few days ago. How could he help me now? It was absolutely impossible. Then who was so capable?'' Shirley couldn''t figure it out. But at this time, at the filming site of the new y, Ka was not pleasing. Ka often put on airs in the film crew. Every time she would bete for shooting, the whole crew had to wait for her. After she arrived, she had to spent long time changing her clothes and making up before starting. However, the director didn''t dare to say anything more. After all, it was Ka who chose him, not he chose her. Moreover, he was proud that Ka could shoot his y. However, Ka went too far not because she waste, but because of her attitude towards the crew. She was always picky about the ability of make-up artists, and sometimes she even brought her own make-up artist. This was the biggest insult to a makeup artist. She never ate the meals ordered bt the crew and she always went to a high-end restaurant for dinner, as if she was superior to others. Another time, when Ka just finished her work, the assistant arranged by the film crew hurried to bring her a bottle of water, but she didn''t even drink it and threw it into the trash can directly. The agent was also very observant. After seeing Ka''s action, he began to shout at the assistant. "Are you out of your mind? How can you buy such cheap water for Ka? She never drinks water from ordinary people like you. She always drinks water of XX brand, which was good for her body and skin. Did you hear me? You can apply for reimbursement yourself for that kind of water from now on. Do you understand? If you make such a mistake again in the future, you''d better get out of here." The agent yelled at that man impolitely. The reason why she could win Ka''s favor was that she knew how to act ording to her personality. She was a good tool for Ka. The assistant, who just graduated from university at the age of about 20, couldn''t bear such grievance and then ran out crying. Several girls who worked with herforted her and asked her what happened. In fact, this kind of thing had happened more than once or two times. Every time, she would put on airs for no reason. "All right, all right. Don''t cry. We will be free after she finishes the filming. She has been acting like this for a long time." The person whoforted the assistant said. "I know, but why does she always speak so harshly and ignore others?" The assistant sobbed. "Yes. Her agent''s arrogance must be her intention. It seems that she is also a kind of uneducated person. She always knows to put on airs. You can wait that sooner orter, her true face will be found and then she will be hated by others." This staff had also been bullied by Ka''s agent, so she felt the same way. Ka''s behavior had already caused the dissatisfaction of other staff in the crew, but they didn''t show it too obviously for the sake of director, and everyone was trying to endure their insult and humiliation. Chapter 25 Make Trouble Chapter 25 Make Trouble Without the negative news, the shooting of Shirley''s new drama went smoothly. However, since the filming sites of Ka and Shirley''s new drama were in the same ce, and Ka was not that kind of person who behaved well, so she went to Shirley''s crew as soon as she had time. After all, she was a famous star, so when Shirley was absent, the director and others in the crew were polite to her. However, because of the previous news, they all felt that Ka was really not emotionally intelligent. Although there was no news on the Inte, the news that the rtionship between the two had been known to all. It was not a wise move for Ka to go to Shirley''s crew at this time to attract attention. When the paparazzi took pictures secretly, not only the two of them were present. The girls who had a dispute with Ka were now followers of Shirley, so every time they saw Ka, they would not give her a good look. "Can you stoping to our crew? Are you free now?" This was the hot tempered girl in the hotelst time. She was always straightforward and forthright. She could say whatever she wanted. "Why are you talking to Ka in this way? Don''t you want to stay in the entertainment circle anymore? " The agent beside Ka shouted. The girl thought that Ka must have a lot of connections since she was a popr actress now. If she offended her, the consequences might be unimaginable, so the girl stopped talking. For several days in a row, Ka came here almost every day. However, the reason why Ka came here every time was not simply. She hade here a few times to observe how the actress who reced her was doing. After her observation, she found that the girl was soft and cute, so she could not help but reach out to the girl. The girl''s name was Lynn, and she looked very clean and lovely. Although Ka had always been pure, the disposition between the two was very different. This was also the reason why Shirley chose her at that time. Lynn''s family condition was not very good. Although she was the heroine, she was modest, kind and polite, so she was widely praised in the crew. As for her acting skills, she was like a piece of uncultivated jade. Although she never received professional training, as long as she acted in her true color, she would present the performance that Shirley wanted. That was why Ka always made trouble for her. At that time, she called Lynn to a room alone. Since no one else was there, the real face of Ka was exposed. "I heard that you are the actress who reced me. You don''t look good. Why did Shirley like you? What qualifications do you think you have to rece me?" Ka looked like a domineering concubine in the imperial harem of ancient times, and Lynn was an inferior concubine who was learning her lesson. "I have never thought of recing you. I''m just acting myself. " Lynn was confused. Why did she say that she had reced her? It was as if she had stolen her role. But actually it was her who refused this drama first. "Well, you are so stubborn. I advise you to be sensible and recognize who is sitting in front of you. To tell you the truth, Shirley''spany is about to go bankrupt. When you finish the shooting, no, may be before you finish this drama, you are still an ordinary person and no one will know you." Seeing that the shooting of Ka''s drama went smoothly and this new actress was smarter than her, Shirley felt that jealousy would really make people crazy. "Even if I won''t be popr, this is at least the first drama of my female lead. I will definitely finish it seriously." Said Lynn firmly. "Well, do you think you dare topete with me? Are you still dreaming of bing famous overnight? " Ka sneered, her face full of disdain. "Why do you always discredit me? Is there any misunderstanding about me?" "No matter what you think, it''s wishful thinking. And remember, who is the real queen in this circle? Believe it or not, I can destroy your future you in a minute. " The way Ka talked to Lynn was like that of an elder who taught the younger a lesson. She even threated Lynn. Hearing Ka''s threat, Lynn didn''t say anything more for her future. Seeing this, Ka was very proud. She stood up and walked slowly to Lynn''s side. She raised her hand, gently patted her on the face like touching a little pet, and walked out. Lynn was full of bitterness, but Ka said to others when she left, "we have been alone for a period of time just now, and I find that this girl is really cute. I think since she can act in this film set, it is really fate, so I decide to teach her in the next few days." People even praised that Ka knew how to take care of the newers. But only Lynn knew that she was lying, and after that, she even gave instructions when she was filming. "cut! Director, look at mark. He didn''t shoot well in this ce. His expression is too nervous. He should be more natural. " [ ] said deliberately. "No, I think it''s good." To be honest, the director seldom stopped Lynn''s performance, because Miss Shirley had told her that as long as she acted in her true color, it would be okay. "Oh, I''m sorry. I''m a person who pursues perfection. I''m used to being strict with the people around me when I''m filming. " It was hard to tell whether Ka was sincere or not from her words. For the director, when he was guiding a drama, it was the most hateful and taboo to have someone tell him what to do. But the other party was Ka, a popr female star, so the director had to give her face. Atst, Lynn had no choice but to shoot this again, but Ka always stopped her and made all kinds of seemingly reasonable requests. In fact, she was just picking up thorns and letting Lynn act it over and over again. Sometimes, the director couldn''t stand it anymore. He didn''t listen to Ka and would just let Ka have a rest. But she didn''t want to ept his advice and kept making trouble. Such a scene would happen every day. As long as Ka finished her own work, she woulde to torture Lynn in the name of teaching a new actress. No matter how Lynn she tried, Ka just didn''t feel satisfied. The members of Shirley''s film crew dared not to say anything. After all, she was a big star and had the support of the Ji Group. If they dared toin, he would have to quit his job. As for Lynn, she was too bitter to speak out. Sometimes she felt wronged and shed tears secretly after Ka left. Everyone in the crew was worried about her. "Lynn, don''t worry. When Miss Shirleyes back, she can help us vent our anger. Do you still remember thatst time in the hotel, Ka was angry by Miss Shirley and ran away? She must have something on Miss Shirley''s hand. " "That''s right. Don''t cry. If you keep crying, your makeup will be ruined. You can''t continue your work The members of the crew treated Lynn very well, as if they were a family. Sometimes, when she heard someforting words from them, she would feel better. In fact, this drama had always been watched by Anna, Shirley''s friend. Since Anna came back from France, she had been helping Shirley clean up the mess. Because Shirley had a lot of things to deal with now. She went out to deal with business all day long and couldn''t stay in the crew all day long, so she knew nothing about what Ka had done. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. However, when Shirley was working outside, she always felt uneasy and thought that Ka would definitely make trouble. Sure enough, Ka really made troubles for her. But she was too busy to care about it now. She would teach her a good lesson when she was not busy. Since Shirley trusted her friend, Anna thought that she must fulfill her responsibility to help Shirley share her worries and ease her burden. Therefore, in the face of Ka''s unreasonable trouble, at the beginning, she turned a blind eye to it, but Ka was getting more and more excessive, and she could not sit by and watch. When Ka came to the crew for the second time and found fault with Lynn''s acting skills, Anna said, "Miss Lin, we have our own director. Our director will be responsible for the shooting of the whole drama, so please don''t be picky about our actress. Besides, this actress is chosen by Miss Shirley, and then she signed the contract herself." Anna''s words were very euphemistic, but the sensible person could know her meaning, "don''t meddle in other people''s business. Just stay where you like." "Oh, I''m a cynic. When I see this kind of thing, I can''t help but... She did something wrong just now. If I instruct her, it will definitely have a better visual effect. "Although Ka said so, shepletely ignored Anna''s words and continued to make trouble. Anna couldn''t help but say, "Miss Lin, please leave here." Anna had allowed her to make trouble several times before, but she didn''t expect that she would go too far, so she had to ask her out. "Why should I leave? I sacrificed my time. Everyone knows that I''m taking care of the newer. I think it''s all your crew''s fault. I''m kind enough to help your actress in the acting skills, but you don''t ept it. You still want to drive me away. If Shirley knows what I''m doing, she will definitely be moved to tears. And this is the public ce for shooting. Did you buy it? Besides, I have my personal freedom. It''s none of your business." Ka said impolitely. It seemed that she was irritated by Anna. "You!" Anna trembled with anger. She had never seen such a shameless person before. Ka really broadened her horizon. It was hard to imagine that she was a pure actress. Seeing that Shirley''s friend was speechless, Ka became more arrogant. When she left, she passed by Anna and bumped her body with her shoulder. It was so annoying. She didn''t know how this kind of person became popr and liked by so many people. Chapter 26 Do You Think I Dont Exist Chapter 26 Do You Think I Don''t Exist Anna knew that Shirley was very busy recently, so she wouldn''t disturb her unless there was something important. Besides, she had promised her that everything would be fine with her. However, in the face of Ka''s incessant and unreasonable trouble, Anna still chose to tell Shirley. She walked to the door of Shirley''s office and hesitated whether she should go in or not. She raised her hand several times and wanted to knock at the door, but finally she gave up. Finally, she thought that if she didn''t stop Ka, it might dy the progress of the shooting. At that time, she couldn''t exin it to Shirley, and she would be more worried. Thinking of this, Anna plucked up the courage to knock at the door. "Come in, please." Shirley''s voice came from inside. Anna pushed the door open and saw that Shirley was discussing something with a department manager. When Shirley saw Anna, she was very happy and immediately smiled. "Anna, wait a minute. I''ll be ready soon." "Okay." Anna sat on the sofa obediently and waited for Shirley. At this time, Shirley was like a female general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. When she talked with the department manager, she could always find the key to the problem quickly and give several perfect solutions. In Anna''s eyes, the former Shirley was just like this, beautiful and capable. However, only Shirley herself knew how hard she had worked to achieve what she was now. It was not strange that Shirley, who had a double degree, was so capable. But the Shirley at present was one who had really been trained in setbacks and difficulties. After the department manager left, Shirley''s serious expression suddenly disappeared, because Anna was her best friend and she didn''t need to pretend to be serious in front of her friends. "Anna, why are you here? Do you miss me?" As soon as Shirley saw Anna, she became naughty and didn''t look like a strong woman at all. "Don''t be naughty, Shirley. I have something serious to talk to you." After losing several rounds with Ka, Anna was not in the mood to joke with her. "Shirley, isn''t Ka in the same ce with us? She... " Anna wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Hearing the name of Ka, Shirley became nervous. "What is it? Tell me, I''m so worried." Shirley had a bad feeling. "It''s just that shees to our crew almost every day, either to pick on Lynn''s acting, or to make other troubles." "What? Almost every day? Is she free? Why didn''t you tell me earlier? You have endured it silently for so long. You just came to help me, but now you are bullied by Ka because you are my friend. No, I can''t stand it! Let''s go! Let''s go to the film crew! " Shirley grabbed Anna''s hand and walked out. ''How dare she bully my friend when I''m absent?'' She thought angrily. Soon, Shirley drove to the film set. When she arrived at Ka''s crew, she found that all the crew were ready, but Ka was not there. If she wasn''t here, she must be in the dressing room. She rushed to the dressing room and found that Ka was still putting on her makeup unhurriedly. She stood at the door and said, "Everyone except Ka, go out first. I have something to talk with Ka." She said the word "talk" through gritted teeth. Everyone who heard it felt that it was definitely not a good thing. There were only two dressers in the room. Seeing that it was Shirley who was standing at the door, they thought of the rtionship between the two people, so they walked out and closed the door. "Shirley, what are you doing? This is my private dressing room." Ka pretended not to know why Shirley came to her. Seeing that Ka was pretending to be innocent, Shirley looked at her and said, "Well, I''m looking for you. I''ve been quite busy recently. I asked my friend to help me stay in the crew, but you''ve made trouble for her again and again and even bullied my new actress. Do you think I don''t exist?" "I''m training a newer. As the saying goes, the finest diamond must be cut." "You can''t train my new employee. I want to train her by myself. I don''t need you, an outsider, to interfere." N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Just before Shirley and Ka quarreled, Samuel received a message from an informant and immediately rushed to the filming site. When Ka and Shirley were having a quarrel, Samuel had already arrived at the door of the dressing room. Hearing the sound inside, he didn''t push the door open but listened at the door for a while. But the more he listened, the more he felt that the words of Ka were flying in the face of her previous image in his heart. "Don''t you just want to use your remaining resources to train the new actress named Lynn? I hope she can rece me in the entertainment circle. Let me tell you, you''d better give up. Lynn was not suitable to be in the entertainment circle at all. As for your friend, please tell her not to meddle my business." Ka finally told her the truth. But the more she said, the guiltier she was. Was it because she felt inferior in her sub-consciousness that she would eventually be reced by her? "She will definitely be famous in the end, but I don''t want her to be the second Ka. She has her own style. I won''t let her be a hypocritical person like you who puts on an act every day." Ka gave an objective evaluation of Lynn and briefly described Ka. "Besides, how dare you humiliate my friend like this? Let me tell you, if you have the bravery, juste to me. Don''t y these tricks on my friend." She could ept whatever Ka did to her. However, if she dared to hurt her friend, she would never agree. In fact, Samuel, who was standing outside the door, heard their conversation. He was here to stop the dispute, but the result was shocking. In the end, he didn''t push the door open, but turned around and left. When driving, Samuel looked serious andplicated. In fact, he had a crush on Ka in the past. Tenderness, gentleness, innocence and sensibility were thebel of Ka. He felt that he would be very happy if she had such a woman. However, when she knew that Ka chose Damon, who was more eloquent than her, he chose to bury his love in his heart. It was meaningless to get the marriage certificate with Shirley. Moreover, Shirley had many conflicts with Ka. He always thought that Shirley was too obedient and irritable. It was her fault. But what happened today seemed to crack something in Samuel''s heart. Maybe Ka was not that perfect? It was even possible that what Shirley said was true. Even a p could not make a sound, and Ka might not be so kind-hearted and considerate. Was Ka really a scheming woman? Or Shirley? Samuel was confused about Ka. On the other side, the quarrel between Ka and Shirley was interrupted by someone. When Ka''s agent saw the makeup artiste out of the room, he asked what had happened. Knowing that it was Shirley who came to Ka in anger, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately took out his phone and called Damon, asking him to stop Shirley from bullying Ka. The agent walked to the door of the dressing room and saw a man eavesdropping. Before he left, the agent saw his face clearly. It was the CEO of the Ji Group -- Samuel. But what surprised him more was that he just eavesdropped for a while and left without opening the door. As soon as Samuel left, Damon arrived in a hurry. The two avoid each other without meeting. This time, Damon was totally different from Samuel. He opened the door without any hesitation. The people who were arguing just now suddenly became quiet. When Ka saw Damon, her eyes lit up, as if she was seeing a savior. When Shirley saw clearly who it was, she was confused. Why was he here? How could he be so well-informed? "Damon, why are you here?" Immediately, Ka turned into a shy little girl and hid behind Damon. "I heard that Shirley came to see you, so I came to have a look. Don''t be bullied." "Well, Damon, you are so considerate. It''s just a misunderstanding. I often go to Shirley''s crew, right? In fact, I just went to see her new actress. As you know, new actors are always very confused when they shoot the first drama. As her predecessor, I think I have the responsibility to give her some advice. But it seems that Shirley doesn''t want me to do that. " Ka looked wronged. "Baby, you are right." Damon rubbed Ka''s hair affectionately. Then he turned to look at Shirley. "Shirley, why are you so ungrateful? Ka is a star that can''t even be hired with money. Now she is giving you free guidance on your new drama. Why are you still so choosy?" Damon''s look were as if saying that Shirley should kneel down as soon as possible and thank her for her guidance. Bah! ''What kind of guidance?'' Shirley wondered. How could anyone instruct a new actress to act by calling her into the room to reprimand her, and even when she was right, she had to act again and again? "Anyway, you can''t tell right from wrong. It''s useless for me to say anything to you." After saying that, Shirley turned around and left. She thought that she still had a lot of work to deal with, so she couldn''t waste time here. Besides, the two of them looked so disgusting when they met. Now that she had scolded Ka, this was a warning. She would definitely not disturb the shooting of the new drama these days. However, one thing that Shirley admired Ka was that no matter what happened, she could turn the situation around, get rid of all the responsibilities, and then made others bear the censure. And finally she became an innocent person. Chapter 27 Encountering A College Classmate Chapter 27 Encountering A College ssmate Previously, even if Shirley sold off all her property, the shooting could only be maintained for a period of time, so she was busy raising money recently. In this process, Shirley had been refused for many time, but she also exercised her indomitable spirit. She knew that no one was obligated to help her. It was their duty not to help, but a favor if helping her. Therefore, Shirley had always maintained a verymon state of mind. At this time, in apany''s meeting room, Shirley waited for their general manager for a long time, until his assistant came in and told her that their general manager didn''t want to see her. Shirley thought to herself, ''well, it''s not the first time that I''m not allowed to see them. At least he let me in and sit for a while. I have been satisfied. Some people know that I''m here to raise money for TV series and even don''t allow me to enter thepany gate. Next time I will definitely seed.'' Shirley But to be honest, Shirley was a little disappointed. After all, there was not much time left for her to raise money, and the new drama must not stop. If she didn''t have enough funds, how could she win? She Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. pushed the door open and was about to leave thepany. However, she heard someone calling her name from behind. She looked back and found a handsome and energetic man in business suit. But from the details of his sleeves and the scarf, she could tell that he was a well-educated man who was good at taking care of himself, and very smart. The man was getting closer and closer, but Shirley didn''t remember him, nor did she remembered this man was mention in the book. "Shirley, is that you? Do I recognize the wrong person?" The man''s eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty. "Yes, it''s me. But you are... " The man left a good first impression on him, so he didn''t reject to have more contact with him. "You don''t even know me? We haven''t met each other for three years after graduation. You can''t recognize me? Have I changed so much?" The man felt strange. He felt that the look of Shirley was like that when seeing a stranger. Didn''t she really recognize him? "I remember you. You are that..." In fact, Shirley didn''t remember at all. She couldn''t remember because she didn''t know him at all. She said that just to ease the embarrassment. "I''m David." "Yes, yes, David. You have changed so much. It''s true that clothes make a man just as a saddle makes a horse. You are much more handsome than when you were in college. Aren''t you abroad? You have she met her good friend in college, she told her a lot of interesting things happened in college, including David. If she remembered correctly, this man seemed to have a crush on Shirley at school. But at that time, Shirley was arrogant and refused him all the time. But now it seemed that he didn''t give up and still liked Shirley. "Yes, China is developing very fast now, so I choose toe back." The man answered Shirley''s question seriously. "Why are you here? Do you work here?" "Sort of. In fact, I''m the general manager of thispany." The man said shyly with pride. After all, she was the woman he liked. Shirley was surprised. He was the general manager who refused to meet her. "Stop talking here. Let''s go to the restaurant next to thepany. It''s a nice ce. My treat." Shirley and David went to that restaurant. The man pulled out a chair and let Shirley sit down. Then he sat on his seat and ordered a few dishes. "I forgot to ask you why you are in ourpany." "Actually, I''m here to raise money. Now my father is in hospital abroad, so I have to take care of the "Are you the representative of thepany that my assistant told me to raise money? I''m really sorry. He didn''t mention your name andpany to me just now. Otherwise, I would definitely meet you." David looked ashamed. He was annoyed that he had left such a bad impression on the first time he met the woman he liked after he came back. "It doesn''t matter. I didn''t know you are the general manager of thispany. " "Why did you raise money? Did you encounter any difficulties?" David asked with concern. "I was shooting a new TV drama recently, but there was a financial problem." "Well, if you don''t mind, I''m willing to give you my full support. If you need anything, just tell me. I will try my best to help you. " In order to save his face, David made a promise to Shirley. "Thank you so much. Now I finally understand the saying that everyone has to rely on friends when he is out." Hearing that David was willing to help her with all his strength, Shirley was very excited. Hearing the word "friend", David''s eyes darkened. He thought to himself, ''friend? Do you still treat me as your friend? But I don''t just want to be friends with you. "In fact, Shirley, there is another reason why I came back this time." Shirley raised her head, waiting for his next sentence. "That''s because of you." David said sincerely and expectantly. Then he continued, "I don''t want to only be your friend. Do you understand what I mean? I know you didn''t choose me before probably because I was incapable, but I''ve been stick to it all these years just to make myself better ande back to see you. " "Well... Actually..." Shirley raised her hand and showed the wedding ring to David. David''s hopeful expression suddenly changed. It was like a treasure he had treasured for many years, but now it was taken away by a stranger. No one else could feel the heartache. "I see. It doesn''t matter. Even so, I will still help you. Who is he? " David had aplicated expression on his face. He had loved this girl for many years, and even returned home because of her. But now she was someone else''s wife. But he still didn''t give up and asked. Only after that could he wish her happiness calmly. "He is Samuel." Shirley said indifferently. She was still angry with him. "Samuel? The CEO of the Ji Group? ?" The man''s face was full of astonishment. "Yes, it''s him." After hearing her answer, David was shocked. No wonder Shirley would marry him. He was much stronger than himself. He was sincerely convinced. But now that Shirley had married him, why didn''t she ask the Ji Group to invest in it? Why did she have to raise money by herself? Was there any conflict? But on second thought, how could he think of them like that? Maybe she had some unspeakable reasons. It was not improper to ask. After dinner with David, Shirley left in a good mood. She finally got investment, so she didn''t have to worry about the shooting of the new drama. She also swore in her heart that this drama must be popr. She would not fail so many people''s expectations and help. Since the shooting at this scene had been finished, Shirley nned to change the site to shoot. After arriving at the new site, Shirley saw Ka again, but there was no waves in her heart. She had already seen through it, which was fate between her and Ka. She couldn''t escape. When Shirley arrived at the site with her crew, the workers of Ka''s crew were arguing with the person in charge of the site. "Why can''t we use this ce? Give me a reasonable exnation, or you will be in big trouble if you dy our shooting!" Ka''s agent shouted at the person in charge of the location in an unreasonable manner, as if he didn''t want to rent the venue or rob it. With her arms crossed over her chest, Ka looked at them silently, as if it was none of her business... "I''m really sorry. This venue has been booked a week ago. I have no choice because I have signed the contract with her." "Who rented it? We will pay double the price." "It''s me." At this time, Shirley came up. "Why it''s you again? Why do you always steal my things?" Seeing that it was Shirley, Ka couldn''t stay calm anymore. "Steal yours? Did you hear him clearly? I booked it a week ago, okay? I think you are the one who looks like a robber now. Besides, I have signed a contract with him. If he rented it to you now, it would be a breach of the contract and he would be liable. So he won''t rent it to you no matter how much you pay. " "You..." Ka was speechless. "Please leave here. Don''t dy our shooting." Shirley''s words rendered Ka speechless. She had to leave with the whole crew dejectedly. After they left, Anna looked at Shirley with admiration. "Wow! Shirley, you were so awesome just now! But how did you know that we would use the same ce and booked it in advance? Do you have the ability to predict?" "I''m not that awesome. It''s just that logically speaking, the type of our two dramas are the same, so there must be the same choice in the shooting location. I was just prepared. I didn''t expect that I was really right. " What Shirley said was right. She had only guessed when she made the reservation, but she didn''t expect that she was right. "You''re so smart, Shirley! Look at the expression on Ka''s face just now. It''s so funny. She must have not expected that you would do this in advance. Well, I don''t have to be harassed by her anymore." Anna was very happy. She felt much better when she thought of the angry expression of Ka, who was always arrogant. The haze of oppression by Ka finally disappeared. Chapter 28 Self Directed And Self Acted Chapter 28 Self Directed And Self Acted Since there was no suitable location for the crew, Ka asked them to get off work early. That was one of the reasons, but the main reason was that Ka was just too angry with Shirley to be in the mood to shoot. Even if she found a suitable ce, she couldn''t shoot well. Ka came back home very early. In the afternoon, when she came back home from work, Damon was surprised. Normally, Ka woulde backter than him when she was shooting a TV drama. Why did shee back so early? "Ka, why do youe back so early this time? Have you finished shooting?" Damon asked while taking off his coat. Seeing this, Ka walked behind him considerately, took his coat in her hand and hung it on the hanger. "I didn''t work today. There is something wrong with the shooting location." Ka didn''t n to tell him. "What problem? Is it so serious that it affected the shooting?" "When I went to the new venue today, I found that Shirley had already been there. So..." Ka said ambiguously on purpose in order to make Damon misunderstand her. Ka deliberately didn''t say that they didn''t have a venue because Shirley had ordered it early. "Why is it Shirley again? Why does she always oppose you? This time, she even seeded." Since Ka didn''t exin, Damon misunderstood Shirley again. He thought that Shirley was really a jinx to Ka. She would follow her wherever Ka went, and it would always bring bad luck. "Let''s go. Take me to your shooting ce. I think Shirley must be still there." Damon took Ka''s hand and was about to leave. "What?! You don''t have to go there. You loose my hand first. In fact, I also think it''s a little coincident, but it''s possible that Shirley happens to use that ce. It''s okay. We can finish the rest part first, and thene back to make up for the shooting." "Coincidence? How is that possible? You are too kind and stupid to be deceived and framed again and again. You don''t know how to fight back. Don''t be so gentle. " It seemed that Damon would definitely take Ka there. Ka didn''t intend to go there because she didn''t exin the truth to Damon. But when she saw Damon''s reaction at home, she thought she must go. Damon immediately took Ka to the new film set to look for Shirley. At this time, Shirley didn''t even have lunch and was busy with the work. Seeing Shirley, Damon immediately rushed to her. Shirley was taken aback by the aggressive Damon, but when she saw the dodging eyes of Ka behind her, she understood. Ka was such a woman. She was always good at using men to solve problems and work for herself, which would make her feel veryfortable. But Shirley was the opposite. Sometimes she would rather cry in a corner than ask for help from a man. She would always grit her teeth and solve the problem by herself. "I heard that you used the same shooting cest time, and this time also the same, what a coincidence! You must have arranged it. Why don''t you always go against her? " Damon criticized Shirley without mercy in front of everyone. Because of the arrival of Damon and Ka, the shooting stopped, and everyone held their breath and watched the three people quietly. "I do against her? It''s ridiculous. Isn''t it good for you to talk to me after you know the truth?" What Shirley hated most was that Damon didn''t know the truth at all and only took sides with Ka. "What truth? Every time when ites to the truth, you will definitely make up lies again. You must have known that Ka woulde here to shoot, so you snatched her site, right? " Damon didn''t tell right from wrong. In his opinion, everything Shirley did was to frame Ka. "You are so ridiculous. Is it because in your eyes, everything I do is wrong and everything I do is a conspiracy, right? She and I are not the only people in the world. The earth will still rotate without her. I''m not a person who goes around Ka all day long. I also have my own life, okay? " Shirley tried her best to exin to him, although all this was in vain. "Shirley, I always think that I can stand whatever you do to me. But why did you steal my new set? Do you know what acting means to me? But do you even want to deprive me of this? " When Ka said this, her tears were ready to fall at any time. Seeing Ka like this, Damon felt more distressed. At the same time, he looked at Shirley more angrily. "Shirley, I advise you to let go of the set when I''m in a good mood. Otherwise, don''t me me for being rude." Damon said fiercely to Shirley. "Why should I give up? I''m also shooting, and I''ve reserved this ce a week ago. I couldn''t have known that Ka also chose this ce a week ago, so you are just making trouble out of nothing." Shirley analyzed seriously that it was impossible for her to know where Ka was shooting in advance. It was totally a coincidence. At this time, the person in charge of the location came just in time. He took out the contract signed by Shirley and handed it to Damon. The more Damon read the contract, the angrier he became. He had promised that he would get justice for Ka, but when he saw the time on the contract, he was her. At this time, Damon and Ka, who came to get even with Shirley, felt embarrassed. Moreover, there were many people in the crew, which could be said to be a big embarrassment scene. At this moment, Sam''s voice came to Shirley''s mind as she wished, "Congrattions! This time, you humiliated the hero and the heroine in front of everyone. Promote one level! Keep working!" Hearing Sam''s words, Shirley felt full of strength and confidence, so she couldn''t help smiling. However, this small movement was captured by Ka. She thought it was Shirley''scent smile, but now everyone was discussing her, so she had to hold back. Ka walked up and stood in front of Shirley. An ashamed smile appeared on her face. Of course, she pretended to be so. Then she said, "I''m really sorry, Shirley. We misunderstood you. Don''t me Damon. It''s all my fault that I didn''t make it clear to him. He just did it for my own good." Shirley didn''t say anything but smiled. ''Who knows if you didn''t exin it clearly on purpose and then asked Damon toe to get even with me?'' she thought. Sometimes, Shirley even doubted if Damon was a fool in love. He would do whatever Ka said, as if he had no his own opinions. However, it had nothing to do with Shirley. Her goal now was to reach the full level as soon as possible and then leave this disgusting world. He watched his woman apologizing to Shirley and defending himself in a humble manner. Damon''s anger didn''t mollified, but increased instead. "Shirley, what''s wrong with you! Ka has apologized to you. Why don''t you tell good from bad?" Damon became angry from embarrassment. "I don''t care who you are." What Shirley meant was that the smile was left to the person who was good to her and being impolite to those who she didn''t like. "Shirley, you''ve gone too far! Even if we misunderstood you this time, you can''t erase the past. The reason why you treat Ka like this is that you are jealous of Ka being with me. You don''t love my brother with all your heart. The reason you married him is to piss me off. But even if you marry my brother, you still miss me, right? " Damon concluded these by himself. Shirley really wanted to give Damon an Oscar Award for his fearless imagination and ignorant analysis. "What?" Shirley was surprised. "You are such a wanton woman. You have married my brother, but you still have me in your heart. Shame on you. You are so pathetic. I don''t like you at all, and my brother doesn''t like the type of you either. " Damon was still acting. If Shirley had had dinner, she would have vomited up. She hadn''t like this man before, but now she found him so disgusting. "Okay, whatever." Shirley gave up struggling and didn''t want to exin. She knew that any exnation now was useless. Because now Damon only believed he was right. What they didn''t know was that there was a person who had been watching the three of them and then watched the farce from beginning to end. Samuel had heard about the quarrel between Shirley and Ka when he was at work, so he guessed Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. that Damon would definitely go to the shooting location after work. So he came here by car. As expected, the three of them were there. He chose not to show up. He didn''t want to get involved in this quarrel. But when Damon and Ka worked together to frame Shirley, he felt very ufortable. He wanted to rush out to protect her, but he controlled himself. He didn''t know what to do until he heard Damon say that he was a scheming woman. Was it true that Shirley still loved him? However, after getting along with each other for a period of time, he found that Shirley didn''t show any sign of loving Damon. She didn''t even hate him. In the past, Shirley hated Damon, but after they got married, Shirley didn''t hate him that much. What happened between them? Did she hide it, or did she not hate Damon at all? Chapter 29 Samuel Stood Up To Help Her Chapter 29 Samuel Stood Up To Help Her Samuel had noticed Damon since he came here. He had been following Damon all the time, trying to see how he would react to Shirley. But he didn''t expect that Damon would say something so unpleasant, even if he knew that Damon didn''t like Shirley anymore. Samuel frowned. Looking at Shirley, who was cursed by Damon and Ka and didn''t know what to say, Samuel suddenly felt a little sorry for her. Damon then said to Shirley, "Well, Shirley, I didn''t expect you to be so capable. You were abandoned by me and then hooked up with my brother though you two don''t really love each other. I really underestimated you. But I''m afraid that your n will fail. Let me tell you, as long as I''m here, you won''t be able to live a good life! " Hearing what Damon said, Shirley raised her head and looked at the man who used to be deeply in love with Shirley. Now it was all because of the frame up by Ka that he hated her more. However, it was good because such a man was not worth loving. If he didn''t hate Shirley and felt a little guilty because of her infidelity, things would be difficult. She sighed that the previous Shirley was so blind. How could she fall in love with such a person! Samuel, who had been hiding behind and listening to these words, suddenly walked up, which surprised everyone. No one had expected that Samuel would also be here. When did hee? Shirley looked up at the man beside her in surprise. "Samuel? You... Why are you here?" Samuel turned around and smiled at her. Shirley felt warm in her heart. He replied, "if I hadn''te, I wouldn''t have known that you have always been treated like this." Looking at Samuel''s sudden appearance, Damon also felt strange and asked, "brother, why are you here? ?" "Fortunately, I came in time. If I hadn''te, I wouldn''t have known that you would bully your sister-in- Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. coldly. "Damon, no matter what, Shirley is your sister-inw. Has the Ji family educated you to treat people like this for so many years? Damon, you''ve gone too far! " Samuel looked at his brother with disappointment. "Brother, you... How dare you teach me a lesson for this woman? Brother, are you wrong? This woman is so vicious. Can''t you see her intention? She is jealous of Ka! " Damon looked at Samuel in astonishment. He didn''t expect that his brother, who had always been tolerant of him, would say that for the sake of Shirley. "Yes, Mr. Samuel. It''s all Shirley''s fault. I didn''t want to fight with her. Damon just can''t bear this and wants to help me!" Ka said. "Brother, how could you say that to me for an outsider? Shouldn''t you be on my side?" Damon couldn''t stand his brother treating him like this. He had thought that he had vented his anger on Ka, but now his satisfaction was swept away by the appearance of Samuel. Shouldn''t his brother help him criticize Shirley? How did this happen! Shirley looked at the two people, Damon and Ka, who were acting together. This Ka was really good. No wonder she was a famous female star known as purity and innocence. Her acting skills were absolutely first-ss. No one here would know that Ka was pretending! Anyway, she had been used to such things. Of course, she didn''t care about those unimportant people. In fact, she had experienced a lot of things when she came to this world. Why did she have to affect her mood for so many people? After figuring out these things, Shirley gently pulled Samuel''s cor and shook her head at him. "Forget it, Samuel. I''ll just find another shooting ce. There''s no need topete with them!" Looking at the expressionless Shirley, Samuel suddenly felt a little sorry for her. Although their marriage was just a cooperation, he seemed to have never fulfilled his responsibility as a husband, even on the surface. He suddenly felt that he didn''t deserve this woman. "Shut up, Damon. It seems that I''m too kind to you. Shirley is my woman. As her husband, of course I have the obligation to help her. I don''t care what you and Ka do. If I know that you treat her so bad again, I won''t let you go easily!" Samuel pulled his thoughts back and said to Damon and Ka. Seeing what Shirley was doing, Damon couldn''t help feeling angry again. He really underestimated Shirley. She must have used some other means to make Samuel treat him like this. They were a nominal couple actually! "Besides, I warn you that Shirley is my woman, and she is backed the whole Ji Group. If I find out who dares to do something behind my back and bully my woman, I, Samuel, will definitely not let him go. No one else is allowed to use this shooting location today. Shirley, continue to shoot. If you have any doubts,e to Ji Group to find me! " Samuel continued after thinking for a while. Then he took Shirley''s hand and walked towards his car. It was not his style to talk so much in one breath today! He took a look at the obedient woman who followed him and sighed in his heart. He didn''t know what was wrong with him today. Perhaps he suddenly felt that Shirley was a little pitiful indeed. What he said today might work. After all, if someone wanted to hurt Shirley again, he had to consider the Ji Group and his own strength. This was a little gift for her to make up to her. Although Shirley acted as if nothing had happened, in fact, she was already in a state of shock. She had never thought that Samuel would help her like this today. He even quarreled with Damon for her, and atst, he even stood up for her in order to help her. But he must have something to ask for. Otherwise, how could he do this for her! She was very clear about her identity and what she should do. Looking at the receding figures of Samuel and Shirley, a sinister look appeared on Damon''s face. He slowly tightened his drooping hands and clenched his fists. He thought viciously, "Shirley! Just wait and see. Do you think you will be fine with my brother help you? I won''t let you go!" "Damon, forget it. I shouldn''t have argued with Shirley. It''s all my fault. Why is Mr. Samuel so angry with you now?" Ka held Damon''s hand and said cautiously, with a look of self-me in her eyes. She looked like a wronged rabbit. Hearing Ka''s voice, Damon became gentle in an instant. "Ka, I know these are all Shirley''s plots. Don''t worry. I won''t let her plot seed, nor will you be wronged. This shooting location is yours, and I must get it back for you." "Damon, it''s really unnecessary. It''s just a shooting ce. I can find another one randomly. Don''t get angry with Mr. Samuel because of this! !" Ka seemed to be anxious and her face wrinkled. Seeing that Ka was so considerate, Damon felt more and more sorry for Ka. He had to deal with this matter well. He couldn''t let that woman, Shirley, seed and let Ka be wronged again! "Well, Ka, it''s none of your business. I have my own decision!" Damonforted Ka. Looking at the expression on Damon''s face, Ka knew that it was impossible for him to give up, and thecency in her eyes shed away. ''Shirley, see, no matter how hard you try, you will always fall behind me. Damon abandoned you for me, and I, Ka, abandoned Samuel. It seems that you are destined to be no match for me. "Samuel, I don''t know why you are here, but anyway, thank you for what you have done for me today!" Walking to Samuel''s car, Shirley stopped and looked at him. Hearing this, Samuel smiled bitterly. He couldn''t even know why he did this and he didn''t Shirley to appreciate his kindness. "Don''t be so formal with me. It seems that this is what I should do. Now I guess no one dares to bully you unscrupulously." "Of course, I''m not that narrow-minded! You can go back to work now. I have something to deal with. " Shirley said with a smile. "Well, since you are so busy with your work here, I''ll go back first. If you have anything, you can call me again." Samuel didn''t ask Shirley to stay any longer. Samuel breathed a sigh of relief when he turned around. What happened just now was like a dream, a little unreal. However, he felt much more rxed. Those words were like a huge stone piled up in his heart. Now that he said them, he felt good and rxed. Perhaps he had long wanted to say these words. Seeing Samuel''s car leaving slowly, Shirley turned around and continued to walk into the venue. Everyone must have heard what Samuel said this time. It seemed that she would have less trouble in the future, but she still had to be careful of Damon and Ka. She was afraid that they would not give up easily. Although she didn''t know what was the purpose of Samuel to help her, since it had happened, she''d better ept it. Anyway, it seemed to be no harm to her so far. Damon had been fooled by Ka all the time. He was so stupid that he didn''t know anything. But what did it have to do with her? No matter you frame me overtly or secretly, I, Shirley, will face it bravely. Thinking of this, Shirley shook her head slightly, tidied herself up and got back to work. Chapter 30 I Really Misunderstood Him Chapter 30 I Really Misunderstood Him After seeing Samuel off, Shirley couldn''t calm down for a long time. It was like a dream that Samuel stood up for her just now. She never dared to think about it, but today it happened. Recalling that Samuel had just stood in front of her and imed to everyone that she was his woman, Shirley didn''t know why, but when she saw his tall and straight back, her heart was warm. This was a feeling that she had never had before. At that moment, her heart was full of happiness. However, Shirley felt that Samuel was strange. A few days ago, he put obstacles in her way, and today he helped her out. Was he just pretending in front of everyone? Or did she misunderstand him? When Samuel protected her, his eyes were firm and sincere. It didn''t seem to be false. Did he really misunderstand her? Since Shirley had gone through all kinds of setbacks, she had grown a lot. She just wanted to upgrade quickly and go back home as soon as possible. But now, there seemed to be another obstacle in her heart, and that was, Samuel. The feelings of Damon and Ka were totally different from that of Shirley. Damon was very irritable now. Previously, Samuel had always been tolerant and partial to him, so he dared to act so recklessly. But from what he had just done, he had really changed a lot. He thought to himself, ''is it possible that my brother really falls in love with Shirley? It''s impossible. He is such a heartless person. Did Shirley seduce my brother? Shirley, you didn''t find it before. You are really a scheming woman.'' At this time, Ka was also very confused. What happened to Samuel? Didn''t he have a crush on her? He had helped her when she had a conflict with Shirley before. If he really fell in love with Shirley, it would be a big trouble. And his attitude towards Damon just now was really strange. ''No, I can''t let this happen. I have to find a solution. I can''t sit still and wait for death.'' After returning to thepany, Samuel remembered that he left in a hurry and forgot to tell Ka''s director to let Shirley shoot first. He picked up the phone, "hello? Is it the director of Ka? That drama... " "I know, I know. Mr. Samuel, don''t worry. I will let Miss Shirley shoot first. It''s all my fault. I didn''t know that Miss Shirley is your wife." The director said before Samuel finished his words. If the producer hadn''t known what to do, he wouldn''t have been in trouble. Samuel felt relieved after hanging up the phone. At the same time, he was still worried and distressed about Shirley. Although he had always cared about her, he didn''t know that she had been insulted like this. No wonder she had cried at night several times. No matter how strong she looked, she was still a woman. After Samuel left, Ka ran to the director and asked, "What do you mean? Why did you ask her to shoot first? ? Why are you so coward? Go and grab the site! " "I''m sorry, Miss Lin. Mr. Samuel called me just now. Although our drama is very important, we can''t offend Mr. Samuel. It''s his order to let Miss Shirley shoot first. " The director respected Ka very much. In fact, he was a little dissatisfied with her in his heart. She had never told him before that the person who used the same venue with him was actually Shirley. Otherwise, these things wouldn''t have happened. Hearing that it was Samuel''s arrangement, Ka gave up and stopped making trouble. However, she Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. felt very aggrieved in her heart. Likewise, Damon was so aggrieved for his losing to a woman. It was his ex-girlfriend who made a fool of him in front of her. He was not reconciled at all. At this time, Sam''s voice sounded again, "Although the hero and heroine have been humiliated this time, it is not finished by you. So this time, you will not be downgraded or upgraded." Shirley felt helpless. ''If I don''t upgrade, why do you tell me?'' But when he saw that Ka, who had been standing beside him, didn''t look good since just now, and her face was so dark, Damonforted her after a long time and then left. Seeing that Ka was unhappy, Shirley was happy. She even felt rxed at work and hummed a tune while walking. She thought to herself, ''you have set me up so many times and put me in trouble. This time, you finally understand this feeling, but it is far from enough. After all, we still have a long time to go.''. Looking at thecent look on Shirley''s face, Ka felt angry. Although Damon hadforted her for a long time, she couldn''t bear it. The shooting of Shirley''s new drama went very smoothly today. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, and mostly because of Samuel''s deterrence, those people did not dare to make trouble for her. As the shooting went smoothly, Shirley came back home early. In order to thank Samuel, Shirley had nned to cook a meal for him, but when she came back home, she found that the nanny had prepared the meal. Then, Shirley wondered how to thank him? When Samuel returned home from work, he found that Shirley had already had dinner at the table. After washing his hands, he walked to the table and sat down. In fact, from the moment Samuel entered the room, Shirley had been looking at him. She found that he was no different from usual. He didn''t even look at her, as if nothing had happened. Shirley kept thinking about how to thank him until he sat down. Shirley put down her chopsticks and looked at Samuel. Samuel felt a pair of eyes looking at him. He looked up and found that Shirley stopped what she was doing and looked straight at him. "Well... I want to say sorry and thank you." Shirley said shyly. Samuel felt confused and asked, "I know why you want to thank me. But why should you feel sorry?" "In fact, I have been angry with you these days..." Shirley confessed. Samuel had long wanted to know the reason. These days, Shirley didn''t talk to him. And she often looked at him coldly. It seemed that there must be a reason. "I''ve been looking for a partner before, but someone always put obstacles in my way, so I only found a fewpanies to cooperate with me in the end. Then I investigated and found that it was someone of the Ji Group who did it. I always thought it was you. Now I think it should be Damon who did it. " Shirley felt very guilty. Samuel helped her so much, but she still... s! Samuel chuckled instead of getting angry. Shirley raised her head and looked at him in surprise. She couldn''t take her eyes off him. Normally, Samuel didn''t smile much, but when he smiled, his expression became vivid. There was no coldness and gloom on his face, but more sunshine and handsome, but it only maintained for a few seconds. "So your attitude to me has been like that toward an enemy these days. I see. Are you stupid? We are on the same side. How can I hurt you?" Shirley also felt that she was so stupid that she hadn''t thought about such a simple thing clearly. Thinking of her attitude towards him a few days ago, she really wanted to hide herself. "I know I was wrong. Do you need my help now? I will do it right away! " Looking at Shirley who had sworn to him with her eyes wide open, he felt she was very cute. "Help? There is really one..." Samuel said mysteriously. "Go ahead!" In order to hear it clearly, Shirley deliberately leaned her head closer. Samuel slowly approached Shirley, and then his face approached her pink and moist lips. Shirley thought, ''what does he want to do! It can''t be true! Is he going to kiss me? Why should I give up my first kiss to help him? Forget it! Just kiss me. After I go back, everything happening in this world will be over!'' Thinking of this, Shirley closed her eyes trembling and pursed her lips nervously. However, she didn''t feel the kiss as expected. Shirley slowly opened her eyes and found that Samuel''s face was in front of her. The noses of the two were only ten centimeters away, and he didn''t take the next step. He wore a snicker on his face. Shirley turned her head a little and saw Samuel''s hand next to her, and there was a rice quietly lying on his index finger and thumb. Shirley''s face suddenly turned red, and even the tip of her ears turned lovely pink. It turned out that she was absent-minded when she had dinner just now. A grain of rice stuck to her face. She had thought he was going to kiss her and even closed her eyes foolishly. But Samuel was really boring. He just needed to tell her that there was something on her face. Why did he get so close to her? It seemed that he was going to kiss her and she made a fool of herself. He must have done it on purpose! Seeing that the woman in front of him blushed because of his tease, Samuel sat up straight. "Well, you have helped me." Shirley was confused. She didn''t do anything. "What I want you to do is to take down the rice on your face. It has been on your face just now. I feel ufortable." Samuel regained his usualposure. Hearing what he said, Shirley''s face turned even redder. She ate silently and didn''t dare to look at Samuel. After a few hasty bites, she went upstairs to her room. She couldn''t stay in the same room with him now, or her heart would beat fast. After returning to her room, Shirley took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little. However, there was a strange feeling in her heart. When she misunderstood that Samuel was going to kiss her, she was a little expectant. It seemed that Shirley, who had never been in love, felt happy and sweet just now. As far as she knew, Samuel was not as ruthless and hateful as she thought. She actually had a crush on him. Looking at the fleeing Shirley, Samuel felt it interesting. He was in a good mood during the meal and kept smiling. This woman seemed to be really different from before. On the contrary, Ka and Damon didn''t seem to be the people he knew before. Because of what happened today, Shirley had a good dream after washing up. Chapter 31 Mothers Criticism Chapter 31 Mother''s Criticism On the second day, after Samuel got to thepany to work, Damon came to him early. He didn''t look good, because his brother, Samuel, humiliated him in front of everyone yesterday for the sake of Shirley. He had to ask for an exnation. "Brother, don''t you have an exnation for what happened yesterday?" Damon said angrily. "Exin what? You heard it clearly yesterday. " Samuel looked at the documents in his hands without even raising his head. Seeing Samuel like this, Damon became angrier. "I want to know why you humiliated me and Ka in front of everyone and helped an outsider, Shirley." Damon thought for a whole night but couldn''t figure out the reason. Samuel finally raised his head and looked at him. "An outsider? She is your legal sister-inw." "Legal? Sister-inw? Brother, don''t you know why she married you? She did it to piss me off! " "I know." Samuel''s words contained all the meanings. He was not stupid. He would help Shirley, because in her heart, Shirley was no longer the original person. As for the reason why she had changed, Samuel did not know. "Brother, you were not like this before. You were always on my side." Damon was frightened by his brother''s sudden change of attitude towards him. He couldn''t get used to it for a long time. "I used to spoil you so much that you did these things." When Samuel knew that he had been making trouble for Shirley''spany, he realized that he should restrain Damon more. "I..." "Well, stop it. You go out first. I have a lot of work to do." Samuel didn''t want to exin to him anymore. He had a reason to do so, and others didn''t need to know. Hearing that, Damon left reluctantly. The moment the door was closed, Damon''s eyes became sinister and vicious. ''You dare to do this to me just because you are the president of thepany. When I take over thepany, I won''t even look at you if you cry and beg me. You are just a dog guarding the door for the Ji family now.'' Instead of going back to his office, he drove to the Ji family''s old house. After getting up, Shirley was in a good mood. She picked up a light blue tight dress,bed her scattered hair into a neat and vigorous bun, and put on a delicate light makeup. In a good mood, she went to the filming set. When she walked into the set, she felt very strange, as if everyone''s eyes were on her intentionally or unintentionally. Did she be so eye-catching just because she dressed up a little? She must be too normal before. At this time, a young girl from Shirley''s crew came over. When she saw Shirley, she said, "Miss Shirley, you''re here. The director is waiting for you to discuss the new drama with you." "Okay, I''ll be right there." Shirley walked quickly to the filming site, and at this time, another person came over. "Hello, Miss Shirley." The man greeted her and bowed. "Hello." Shirley replied, and the man turned around and left. However, Shirley suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wasn''t that person from Ka''s crew? Why did he say hello to her? He hadn''t talked to her before. Shirley wanted to leave, but then several people greeted her, and they were all from Ka''s crew. Now she understood that their attitude towards her had changed greatly. It must be because Samuel said that she was his woman in front of them. How could his words be so deterrent that even the members of Ka''s crew were frightened? This feeling was strange, but she didn''t hate it. It seemed that she was finally going to be lucky. However, on the other side, Ka had witnessed the conflict between Samuel and Damon yesterday. She was afraid that Samuel would say that he didn''t care about Damon, so she didn''t dare to be arrogant. She began to work carefully. She didn''t go to the set of Shirley''s drama casually, nor did she dare to make things difficult for the staff of her crew and find fault with Lynn when Shirley was not there. In a word, she nned to wait and see if the rtionship between Damon and Samuel would recover, or she wouldn''t have any support for herself. Samuel suddenly received a call from Mrs. Ji, Damon''s mother. He felt strange. Normally, his mother This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. wouldn''t call him if there was nothing important. Why did she call him this time? "Samuel, put aside your work ande back home now." Her mother said seriously on the phone. "What''s the matter?" "Let''s talk about it when you get back. Hurry up." The she hung up the phone. Samuel thought while driving, ''what''s wrong? Did something happen to Ji family? His mother''s tone was so serious. It seemed that something had really happened and it didn''t seem to be a good thing. Thinking of this, he sped up. When he arrived at home, he saw his mother and Damon sitting in the pavilion in the garden, talking andughing. Looking at her smile, Samuel was stunned for a second. When he was very young, in order to get such a smile from his mother, he had worked very hard. At a very young age, he began to learn obscure finance and management, and at the same time, he had to take piano lessons and other special tutors. However, no matter how hard he tried, his mother was always cold to him. Later, when he knew that he was an adopted child, he understood everything. He was just a robot in the management of apany cultivated by them and they didn''t treat him as a son at all. When he managed to maintain the stable operation of the Ji Group, it was time for Damon to took over the easy for Damon to get his mother''s smile and act like a spoiled child by his mother''s side. He didn''t need to learn so much and had a happy and free childhood. Samuel had always been locked in his room to study. They often took Damon to the amusement park, but he had never been there. They always told him that he was a big child and he should study hard. Amusement park was a ce for children, but he neverined. But the moment he saw Damon, he knew why his mother was in a hurry to find him. It turned out that it was Damon who came toin. This often happened when he was young. As long as Damon told her, Mrs. Ji would me Samuel without asking the reason clearly. Damon turned his head and saw Samuel. Mrs. Ji also turned around and saw him. When she saw Samuel, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She looked at him angrily. He had seen this expression for a long time and was used to it. Mrs. Ji was supposed to be more than 50 years old now, but her skin was fair and well maintained without any wrinkles. Her hair was ck, and she was dressed properly and elegant. She looked like more than 30 years old. "Samuel, is what your brother said true? Do you really make a fool of him because of a woman?" Although her tone was full of doubt, there was a hint of certainty in her words. "Yes." Samuel admitted obediently. "Mom, look. Am I right? Brother really doesn''t care about my feelings. " Damon walked up to his mother and grabbed her arm like a child. His mother seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. She turned around and touched his face. "Samuel, I''m not ming you. How can you treat your brother like this? You two actually fell out because of a woman. Even if that woman married you, your brother grew up with you. You are managing the Ji group well. I won''t say anything more. But don''t forget that your brother is also a member of the Ji family. If you embarrass him, it will bring shame to our family. Do you want others to know that you two don''t get along well with each other? Damon is still young and he doesn''t know what to do. It''s okay for him to do something wrong asionally. As his elder brother, you can teach him." Mrs. Ji taught him a lesson just like she did when he was a child and never med Damon. "Young? Mom, Damon is only two years younger than me, and he is too childish and impulsive. You can''t always indulge him and let him do whatever he wants." Samuel said. "No matter how, he is still younger than you. I admit that sometimes he did something wrong, but you don''t have to make him suffer so much. Just teach him." Her eyes were full of me, but she didn''t regret spoiling Damon too much. Hearing his mother teach Samuel a lesson, Damon lookedcent and thought, ''you didn''t expect that, did you? I don''t dare to say anything about you, but I don''t believe that I can''t find someone who can control you. My mother has been loving me the most since I was a child. Look at you, how dare you be so rude to me!'' "Okay, I see." Although he promised, he didn''t regret what he had done at all. When he saw that Shirley was bullied by them, he only had one thought in his heart: This is my woman. I can''t let her suffer any grievance. "Well, that''s it. Samuel, you must remember what I said. You can''t treat Damon like this anymore. Stay and have dinner with us." Mrs. Ji was very satisfied with his promise and asked Samuel to stay for dinner. "No, I have a lot of things to deal with in thepany, so I have to go now." Samuel turned around and left, leaving no time for Mrs. Ji to speak. "Mom, just let him go if he wants. Let''s have meal and leave him alone. I''m hungry." "Okay, okay, let''s have lunch." Her tone was soft and doting. Samuel listened to the voice behind him. This was the time for them. He was just an adopted son. Why should he be in the middle? The reason why she asked him toe back this time was just to teach him a lesson and vent anger for Damon. Thinking of what the Ji family had done to him, he couldn''t stay here peacefully. At this time, Samuel''s eyes were full of hatred and coldness. Chapter 32 An Opportunity To Attend The Award Ceremony Chapter 32 An Opportunity To Attend The Award Ceremony After receiving the phone call, he hurried home, but he didn''t expect that he had been taught a lesson, so Samuel had to go back to thepany to deal with work. Samuel, who was driving, was expressionless, but he held the steering wheel tightly. His slender and bony hands turned pale because of overexertion, and blue veins stood out on the back of his hands. Samuel had been like this since he was a child. No matter how angry and aggrieved he was, he would not show it. As a mature man, he learned to keep all his emotions in his heart and not let anyone see through him. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Therefore, the Ji family didn''t know that in fact, Samuel had already known their n. He didn''t expose them, but continued to pave the way for them, in order not to alert the enemy, and to secretly develop his own strength. In this way, if that day really came, he would not lose everything, but have the ability to fight against them. Today, the shooting of Shirley''s drama was also very smooth. The progress went fast not only because she was in a particrly good mood, but also because of the absence of Ka. Without seeing Ka''s face, Shirley felt happy all day long. On the other side, Ka was busy with the award ceremony because she was nominated as the best actress. She was notified this morning. In order to prepare for this activity, Ka didn''t go to work. But how could Ka get the nomination of this award for her acting skill? In fact, the nomination was made by Damon with money. Almost half of the stars in the entertainment circle would attend the award ceremony, so it was a good opportunity to make her more famous. Therefore, no matter what method he used, Ka must get the chance to attend the award ceremony. A few days ago, Damon took Ka to meet a person, who was one of the judges responsible for determining the best actress, and who was of great importance in the entertainment circle. It was hard to see him in usual times, and she heard that he had a bad temper, and he didn''t like ordinary actors. However, when he met Damon, he rushed up to shake hands with him as soon as he saw him. He was not as arrogant as usual. It seemed that he just wanted to show his image in front of the public. After all, there were many people in the entertainment circle who had hypocritical masks, and these masks could be worshiped by ordinary people. However, in the face of Damon, the second son of the Ji family, they were nobody, and he actually asked him to meet, which was already very kind to him. "Hello, Mr. Damon. What can I do for you?" "I heard that you are in charge of the award ceremony, aren''t you?" Damon pretended to be rxed. "Yes, I am one of the judges of the best actress. Is it... " The judge turned to look at Ka, who was sitting next to Damon. "Yes, as you know, Ka is my girlfriend. Although she is a popr star now, she will be a little silly if she doesn''t seize the opportunity to put it in front of us." Although Damon was not as powerful as Samuel, he was still able to frighten others with his remaining power. When he said this, he deliberately imitated the dangerous and mysterious looks of Samuel. "You mean..." The judge asked tentatively. "Yes, I want you to give her the chance." After saying that, Damon turned his head and looked at Ka affectionately, while she also returned him with a gentle and lovely smile. Seeing this, Damon''s heart was softened, and he felt that it was not too much to give the whole world to this woman. "Well... Now that you mentioned it. I will try my best. " The judge agreed to Damon''s request. "Okay. You can go back to your work now." Damon had just pleaded with him, but now he was driving him away. After the judges left, Damon and Ka didn''t leave immediately. Ka gently turned Damon''s head and kissed him. While Damon was a little scared by the sudden move of Ka, but when he realized it, his eyes gradually softened. "That''s not enough." Damon snickered and deepened the kiss,pletely ignoring that it was in public. Ka seemed to push the man''s chest, but in fact, she didn''t use much strength. It was not until he felt many pairs of eyes looking at them that Damon reluctantly let go of Ka. In order not to be recognized by others, Ka had to keep her head down. "Why were you so obedient just now? Huh? " Damon approached Ka and asked the woman in front of him in a low and maic voice. "Because I think you are so good to me. I don''t know how to thank you..." "How could you say that? Don''t say thanks to me. It''s my greatest honor to have you by my side all the time." Damon touched Ka''s hair affectionately. "I did all these for you willingly. If one day you ask me for a star, I will definitely buy a star named after you. If you want the whole world, I will give it to you. Because you deserve the best. " Although Damon looked domineering at ordinary times, he was affectionate when he was in love. "Thank you, Damon." Hearing Damon''s sincere words, Ka stretched out her hands, circled behind the man''s neck and hugged him tightly. The man also gently patted Ka''s back. But behind his back, a sly light shed in Ka''s eyes. When she loosed his arm away, her eyes were as gentle as water. In this way, Ka was sessfully nominated for the best actress, and she was very confident that she would win the best actress award. She had inquired about the actresses nominated this time, almost all of whom were neers, so she was determined to get it. Before she could get the prize, Ka had already started to prepare the draft for the speech. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. "Ka, someone is looking for you outside." "Who is it?" "I don''t know. But that person brings two big gift boxes." Ka was confused. She didn''t buy anything to thepany, so she walked out of the office. There were many people outside, waiting for her to open the gift box. When she opened the gift boxes, she found that there was a customized dress in each box. The first one was the starry dress of some famous brand. The design of the Camisole could perfectly expose the corbone, and it was waisted, which could perfectly show the good figure. From the white part of the chest to the dark blue part of the dress, and the whole body was iid with sparkling, very delicate and gorgeous. The other one was a high-end tailored dress of some famous brand. It was a pure white long dress, with the waistline tilted up, so it could lengthen the lower line of the body and make the legs look more slender. Seeing these two dresses, Ka was also surprised. However, the onlookers reacted the most, because most of them were girls. When they saw these two dresses, they gave out sincere admiration and envy. At this time, the person who sent the dress took out a card from his pocket, which said: Ka, choose your favorite dress to attend the award ceremony. I want them to see your most beautiful appearance. The signature was Damon. These two gift boxes were sent by Damon! "Ka, congrattions on your being nominated for the best actress. The final prize will definitely be yours." Hearing this, Ka thought to herself, ''of course, I know it.'' She couldn''t help but feelcent. "Oh, don''t say that. It''s just a nomination. Who will be the winner in the end is not certain yet" Although Ka was modest in her tones, she couldn''t hide her smug smile. "I really envy Ka for having a boyfriend like Damon. He is rich and considerate. Most importantly, he is faithful. He has always doted on our Ka. These two dresses look so great. I''ve seen many international stars wear them. " "Of course. Ka is beautiful and has ability. She deserves such a good boyfriend. Ka, don''t forget to invite us to dinner when you get a reward. " "Okay, no problem. It will be my treat. " Hearing people''s praise and admiration, Ka felt a little proud andcent. After the crowd dispersed, some people exchanged nces and went to the bathroom. "Oh, she must be very proud now. Not only was she nominated, her boyfriend also sent the dress to thepany. She is really lucky. " A woman said in a jealous tone. "Well, she is not capable enough. It''s just a formality to say that she has strong acting skills. But we all know that she is supported by Mr. Damon." "That''s to say, even Mr. Damon is capable of making her famous. It''s not difficult to get a prize for her through the back door. Her nomination was not wined by her ability." "What exactly does Mr. Damon like about her? She only knows to pretend to be innocent every day. " "Maybe she has a good way to seduce men." Women were always gossiping in the toilet. Because of what happened today, Ka had to be their topic again. And the more those women said, the more excited they became. People are always like this. The outside and the inside were not in agreement. Maybe he praised you in front of you a second ago, but when he turned around, he could discuss your shorings with others and say sarcastic words. Anyway, it was because they were jealous. However, Ka didn''t know that she had been criticized by others. It was true that there would be many rumors about a famous person. This time, she finally raised her profile. She was immersed in the happiness and reputation brought by Damon, as if she had won the best actress award. Chapter 33 The Nomination Of The Best Actress Chapter 33 The Nomination Of The Best Actress The award ceremony would be held tonight. Ka chose a starry dress, which made her look graceful and eye-catching. There were her exclusive stylists and dressers in thepany. The style of this dress was very suitable for Ka, pure and vigorous, very eye-catching. When Shirley was on the film set, she had heard that Ka had been nominated, but she was very calm. This news was not surprising to her. Although Ka didn''t have the strength, she had a good boyfriend. Damon would give her the best as long as Ka was happy. However, when she went back to thepany, she happened to meet Ka who was rushing to the scene. She thought that since she met her and there were so many people here, it might be bad if she pretended not to see them and might be photographed and posted on the Inte, so she had to bite the bullet and walk towards Ka. Ka felt strange when she saw Shirley walking towards her. ''What was she going to do? Was she going to ruin my n?'' She thought. When she walked up to Ka, she forced a smile that was uglier than crying, because Shirley was really not in the mood to see her, but she had to pretend. "Congrattions. I''m d to hear that you''ve been nominated for the best actress." Shirley congratted Ka. "Yes, thank you very much." As long as Ka was in front of everyone, she would be very polite, showing that she was especially innocent. In fact, all she wanted to do was to attend the event as soon as possible. She didn''t want to talk to Shirley at all. "This dress is really suitable for you today. You must be very beautiful when you wear it on the tform and stageter." Shirley praised Ka against her will. She was in a bad mood when she saw Shirley, but when she heard her praise for her dress, she raised his eyebrows and was very proud. Ka was very proud of herself. "Thank you." Ka said sincerely. Ka was in a hurry to leave. But as soon as she arrived at the door, she found that she had been blocked by reporters. Originally, Ka wanted to step back and find a door to leave. However, when Shirley saw this scene, she snickered and pulled Ka who was about to leave thepany to the front of the reporters. Ka wanted to get rid of her, but there were too many reporters, so she didn''t dare to make any big move. She had to let Shirley pull her to the door of thepany. Seeing that the two people were still holding hands as if they were on good terms, the reporter immediately turned on the camera and raised the microphone in front of them. "Miss Ka, you are qualified to attend the award ceremony. And you has also been nominated for the best actress. What do you think?" "First of all, thank you for your concern. I can obtain this reputation not only because of my own contribution, but also because of my fans who have always been supporting me. No matter how many difficulties and frustration I encounter, they always support and encourage me behind my back, so I can be better and better with the motivation from them." Ka was very good at saying official words in front of reporters. As long as she said from the standpoint of fans, she would never make mistakes. Therefore, Ka had a good reputation in the entertainment circle. However, don''t forget that there was Shirley beside her. How could she let Ka finish the interview so easily? "Yes, Ka is right. But I''m standing right next to you, and you don''t mention thepany training you. I''m so sad." Shirley deliberately pretended to be aggrieved, as if she was joking in front of everyone. But the listener meant it, let alone in front of the reporters. They wouldn''t let go of anything interesting. Hearing what Shirley said, Ka''s eyes twinkled. ''I knew that there must be something wrong with her pulling me over.'' She thought. "Oh, yes. I was so excited that I forgot it. What I should thank most is thepany. It is mypany that makes me better from a nobody to a person that is liked by so many people. Everything I get is given by mypany." Ka said against her will. In other people''s eyes, Ka was very sincere to thank thepany, but only she knew how reluctant she was to say that. Shirley wanted to make her feel bad. She feltfortable to see her suffer. "Yes, we all know Ka''s hard work, especially me. I know her growth best. Therefore, she deserves all these achievements. She is a rising star of ourpany. I believe that she will have a greater world in the entertainment circle in the future!" Shirley pretended to wish her sess. "It seems that you two are really on good terms. Is the rumor that you two don''t get along well with each other all fake?" "Yes, we two have been known each other for many years. Those are just some headline parties'' stunts." Shirley deliberately took Ka''s arm to make her feel ufortable. She knew that Ka wouldn''t dare to lose her temper in front of so many reporters, so Shirley seized her weakness and ruthlessly disgusted her. Ka felt very ufortable and wanted to retort her. But considering that there were reporters in front of her, she couldn''t ruin her reputation. Besides, Shirley was no longer as weak as before. Since Samuel stood up for herst time, she couldn''t offend her easily. In fact, she couldn''t figure out Samuel''s attitude now. If Samuel was just acting with her, it didn''t matter. But she was worried that Samuel really wanted to support Shirley, which would be very troublesome. After all, Samuel was a man of great power in every field. In that case, Ka would be banned forever, and even Damon couldn''t save her. After the interview, Ka rushed to the venue. But because of what happened just now, Ka was very unhappy and called Damon toin tearfully. "Hello? Damon, I feel terrible now." Ka said with a sobbing tone deliberately, sounding very aggrieved and pitiful, attracting people''s love. "Ka, what''s wrong? Tell me, I won''t spare her!" Damon was very angry when he heard that Ka was bullied. "It''s that woman, Shirley. We two are at odds, but today she deliberately satirized me in front of the reporters. She also said that thepany trained me. How did she bully me before? How could she say something like that? What did she mean?" The more Ka said, the more excited she became. "Ah... Shirley... This..." As soon as Damon heard that it was Shirley, he was a little worried. Although he had already told his mother and scolded him, he was still the CEO of the Ji Group, and everything he had now was attributed to him. If it was in the past, when Shirley was angry with Ka, he would definitely make trouble for Shirley. But because of Samuel, it was better not to hurt her easily. Otherwise, it would be terrible if Samuel got angry. "Damon, what''s wrong? Are you afraid of her?" Ka said coquettishly. "Ka, listen to me. You saw what happened that day. We all thought that my brother didn''t care about her. But I don''t know why he began to protect her recently. Let me tell you, my brother must have been deceived by her appearance. When my brother sees through her, he won''t care about her anymore. At that time, I will definitely vent your anger on her and won''t let her live well. Be a good girl. Don''t be angry." Damon patiently coaxed Ka. "Well, for the sake of my good mood today, let her go." Ka pouted and said, but she still couldn''t calm down. She didn''t know what kind of method Shirley had used to deceive Samuel, who was so shrewd and ruthless. In fact, she knew that both Samuel and Damon had a crush on her at that time, N?velDrama.Org owns this text. but in the end, she still chose Damon, because Samuel was so cold and cruel. Moreover, she heard from Damon that the Ji Group would be his in the future, and for the sake of interests, Damon was more suitable for her. Even if Damon was still under Samuel''smand, and he couldn''t vent her anger on Shirley, she was willing to wait patiently. When she became the hostess of the Ji family, she could do whatever she wanted and let Shirley, the unpleasant woman, disappear in front of her forever. "My Ka is so generous." Damon was still coaxing Ka, but he didn''t know how dirty and terrible Ka was in her heart. If he knew that the woman he loved was really disgusting, he didn''t know if he would still be so good to her and give her everything she wanted. "I can''t go to apany you today because I have to work, but you must be the most beautiful woman. After all, you are the one I like." Damon tried his best to make Ka happy, but he swore in his heart that he would make Shirley pay the price. Now as long as he could endure it for a while, he wouldn''t have to bear Samuel anymore. "It''s okay. You just need to work. I know you are working hard for our future. I can understand." "Ka, you are so kind. You are the kindest and most considerate girl I''ve ever seen. I''m really d that you belong to me." The two had been talking for a long time, and Ka''s bad mood was also diluted by Damon''s sweet words. She walked into the hall with a sweet and confident smile. However, there were a group of reporters in front of the venue. "Miss Ka, are you sure you can get the best actress award this time?" "Well, it is hard to say. After all, there were many talents in the entertainment circle now, and many new actresses'' strength could not be underestimated. I''m not sure, but it''s my honor to be nominated. Thank the judges and my fans." Ka replied modestly and cautiously. But in her heart, she hated to be asked this question. Wasn''t it a must for her to win the prize? Those new actresses had just started their career with pretty appearance. But now in the entertainment circle, sess not only depended on the face, but also on the background. They knew nothing. How could theypare with her? The award for best actress must be hers. Chapter 34 No Award Except For Nomination Chapter 34 No Award Except For Nomination After answering the reporter''s questions, Ka finally walked into the venue. She greeted everyone elegantly, her eyes full of confidence and pride. After sitting down, Ka had been waiting for the host on the stage to announce thement of the winner of the best actress award, "she is gentle and obedient. She shows youth and vitality with her strength. We all see her growth. She is the young showgirl of today''s entertainment circle." The more Ka listened, the more she felt that thement was about her. She recalled the award remarks she had remembered. When she was ready to stand up confidently, the host read an unexpected name, "She is Jennie Li! Let''s wee her to the stage!" At this moment, a girl sitting next to Ka showed a surprised expression. She was Jennie. Just now, Ka was thinking that she would win the prize tonight and didn''t notice that she was sitting next to her. When Jennie heard her name, she covered her mouth in surprise and looked around to confirm if it was her. Ka smiled at her and said, "Congrattions!" The girl replied a "thank you" and then walked onto the stage. She was a new actress who had just made debut this year and had only acted the heroine of a youth idol y. She was still a college student now. It was said that she was identally discovered by a spy who felt she was very special and clever. Ka had never taken her seriously before, and she only remembered her name today. How could it be her! Although she smiled at her just now, she immediately realized that she didn''t win the prize and quickly managed her expression. However, Ka''s heart was full of disappointment and surprise. She thought, ''what''s wrong with that judge? Why didn''t I get the prize except for the nomination? It was humiliating for me to lose to a new up her dress and leave right away, but the award ceremony was not over yet, and everyone was sitting here. If she left without permission, it would definitely attract attention. She endured the shock in her heart and sat down, but she did not listen to a word from the people on the stage. She was originally sure that she could win the prize which was almost within her reach, but it was finally taken away. Ka was really pissed off. After a long time, the award ceremony finally came to an end. Ka walked out of the hall in a daze, but she was blocked by reporters again. She was really annoyed now. She didn''t win the prize, and she had to answer them all kinds of questions. However, she could only keep her anger and impatience in her heart. She warned herself to be calm and not to ruin her image. Ka took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. Then she faced the reporters as she did just now. "Miss Ka, do you have anything to say to the champion of the best actress award and you just passed by this award?" "As I said just now, there are many talented people in the entertainment circle. I''ve watched the y of Jennie. It''s really good. She deserves the reward. But she hoped that she would not be proud and calm down, so as to bring more good works to everyone. As for the prize, I feel a little regretful. But more importantly, it warned me to work harder. I hope I can improve myself in the future and gain recognition from the public." When Ka answered the question, she looked as usual. The perfect answer made the author unable to find any loopholes to make the article. "Can you exin the quarrel between you and your boss Shirley on the film set that day?" "Don''t mind that. Because Shirley and I are very good friends, and we are very serious about everything. We took it seriously that day when we encountered such a thing. Don''t think that we don''t get along well with each other. We were interviewed before the award ceremony. When we two get serious, we will argue with each other for one or two times, but soon we will make up. I''m so sorry to let you see us like this. Thank you for your concern. " "Have you ever thought of working alone? Now many stars open their own studios and recruit artists. Do you have this n? " "Ah, I''ve heard about it. It''s a good idea. But now the Xia Film Company is in a critical moment. I''m worried about Shirley when she runs thepany alone. I''ll make a n when the Xia Group is stable. After all, I''m a very family oriented person. I consider Xia Group as my family and still have a deep feeling for it. But no one knows what will happen in the future. When I make a decision, I will inform you as soon as possible." Ka leisurely gave a perfect answer to the reporter''s question, which was wless and no one could find any mistakes. It had to be said that Ka did a good job in solving the reporter''s problems, and she could even show the good acting skills that she didn''t have when she was filming. However, on the way home by car, Ka had been wearing a long face. Even if she could calmly answer the reporter''s questions, the feeling now was very strong. She had suffered so much grievances, worked so hard for so long, and even asked the judges to help her, but she still couldn''t get it. She was depressed. On the other side, after Shirley left thepany, and was about to go back to her office. However, she received a call. It was David who had promised to offer financial support to herst time. Shirley picked it up immediately. "Hello, David? What''s up?" "Shirley, are you free now? How aboute out and have a get-together?" David suggested. "Okay, I''m free. Where? " Shirley agreed without hesitation, but she was a little reluctant. She had worked in the crew for a whole day and was very tired. Now she just wanted to go home and have a good rest. However, if David asked her to go, she''d better go. After all, he was the sponsor. After returning to her office and fixing her make-up, Shirley rushed to the ce mentioned by David. "Here, Shirley." David called her name. It was not until Shirley arrived that she realized that it was a famous coffee shop. There were many young couples in it, which made Shirley think that it was a coffee shop for couples. She didn''t understand why he asked her toe here. Didn''t she tell him directly that she was marriedst time? Didn''t he give up? "David, why do you invite me to this cafe?" Shirley asked straightforwardly. It was better to nip his feeling for her in the cradle as soon as possible. "Oh, nothing. I just feel that the atmosphere is good. It''s suitable for two people to talk about something quietly. " David smiled. Different from the handsome Samuel, David''s smile was more elegant and sunny. If she hadn''t been with Samuel... No, no, no, no if, what happened is what happened, and it can''t be returned to the past. Besides, she couldn''t fall in love with him because she didn''t belong here. "Okay." Shirley believed David''s words. "Shirley, how have you been in the past few years when I was away? I''ve heard about what happened to you recently. I don''t think you are living a good life." David looked worried. "I''m fine. Although a lot of things have happened recently, it''s not a big deal. Thepany can survive. I''m satisfied now. Don''t worry about me. I can live a good life. " Shirley tried her best to prevent David from worrying about her, because it would make her feel that she was in a tryst. She was guilty. "Really? That''s good. If you have any difficulties that you can''t ovee, pleasee to me. I will help you. " "Okay, I know."Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. There was a moment of silence and embarrassment. Shirley didn''t know what to say. David said, "I think you have changed a lot." "Oh? Is there any change?" Shirley was worried that someone might find out the secret. After all, she couldn''tpletely imitate the temperament of the original Shirley. "I remember that when you were in college, you were very cold and seldom talked orughed. Besides, you don''t have many friends and seemed to be a little unsocial. " But at that time, David had fallen in love with the coldness of Shirley. However, she hadn''t noticed him at that time. Now, Shirley became more energetic, just like a young college student. "Really? Maybe it because I had tomunicate with many people, so I became more outgoing. By the way, how have you been doing abroad? Tell me about it. I didn''t have time to ask you because we talked in such a hurryst time." Shirley made up an excuse and quickly changed the topic. She couldn''t talk about herself anymore. "I finished my master degree abroad. Then I started my own business with several friends and it was a sess. And this is the branchpany in China. I chose toe back here on my own initiative." When he said this, David''s face softened, and his eyes were as gentle as spring water. He came back to China because Shirley was here. She reminded him of the wonderful time in college. "Great! I''m really happy for you. And I haven''t told you. I really appreciate it. When I was raising money and ran into trouble everywhere, I didn''t expect to meet you, and you agreed without hesitation." After experiencing so many difficulties, Shirley cherished everyone who helped her. Even if they just said a few words of encouragement to her, she would be moved. "Oh, don''t say that. We have been ssmates for so many years. Besides, I am willing to help you. " Ignoring his words, Shirley raised her ss. "To thank you, let''s have a drink." David raised his ss and made a pleasant sound when they collided. However, she had been worried about one thing. When she entered the cafe just now, she saw a person who went out. That person looked like Samuel''s assistant, but she was not sure about it with only a nce. Samuel might not be here. Shirleyforted herself like this. She must have seen it wrong. Chapter 35 Declaration Of Sovereignty Chapter 35 Deration Of Sovereignty However, Shirley didn''t make a mistake. The person who went out just now was Samuel''s assistant. He was in a hurry to meet a client, so he didn''t greet Shirley. When the assistant came back, he told Samuel that he had met Shirley. There was a one-meter gap in the middle of the coffee shop. Samuel was on the other side, while Shirley and David were in front of the French window. When he heard what his assistant had told him, he raised his head and found that Shirley was talking andughing with a strange man happily. He had never seen such a happy look before. Immediately, his heart was filled with anger. He wanted to rush in front of Shirley and take her away. How could she smile so happily to others? But there was a client waiting for him, so he had to hold back his anger. When he was talking with clients, he was absent-minded and couldn''t help ncing at the window. After the meeting was settled, he asked his assistant to send the client away. After thinking for a while, he didn''t go straight to them, but quietly sat in the back seat of Shirley. David didn''t know him, so he didn''t feel strange. Samuel thought that only by knowing oneself and enemy could he win in every battle. He must know the enemy''s n first. Samuel ordered a cup of coffee and pretended to look at hisptop, but he kept listening to the sound over there. Although Samuel usually looked cold and heartless, his heart became softer and softer after he met Shirley. This woman seemed to have a maic field that pulled him closer to her and made him want to know the real her. Samuel listened for a long time. But it was a little far away. So he just vaguely heard them mentioning the university several times. It seemed that they were ssmates in the University. But there was no need for her to see her college ssmate alone, let alone a man. What''s more, Samuel heard Shirley''s was in a good mood, and when she was in a bad mood or misunderstood him, she was in a cold face. But she was talking so happily with a man now. Samuel couldn''t stand it anymore. He stood up and walked to their table. David and Shirley looked up when they felt someone was approaching them. David had just returned home, so he didn''t know Samuel very well. But Shirley was different. They met each other every day. Her pupils suddenly dted. Why was he here? Oh, by the way, it seemed that she didn''t recognize the wrong person. The man she saw just now was his assistant. ''How could it be such a coincidence to meet you here?'' She thought. "Why are you here?" Shirley asked with a guilty conscience. She didn''t know why, but she always had a feeling that Samuel was "catching adultery". But she actually had nothing to do with David. "I''m here to talk about business." Samuel was still as cold as usual. But if you looked at him carefully, you would find that he frowned slightly. This was the expression of Samuel when he was angry. Because of the experience when he was a child, his expression change was very slight. "Don''t you want to introduce this sir to me, Shirley?" David said. He had just seen the man''s appearance, dressing, and temperament, which was different from others, giving people an invisible deterrent. "This is Mr. Samuel of the Ji Group." Shirley briefly introduced him, not mentioning her rtionship with him. Because she had told David that she had married Samuel. Besides, it was too embarrassing for her to tell David that he was her husband. However, Samuel didn''t know it. He just thought that she was hiding something from him. ''Did she and this man...'' Samuel thought that women were really ungrateful. He had just stood up for her that day, but now she turned against him. "Ah! You are Mr. Samuel. I''ve heard a lot about you." David said, but his eyes were dim. He just wanted to have a talk with the person he once loved, but he met him unexpectedly. David immediately reached out his hand to shake hands with Samuel, but when Samuel shook hands with him, he deliberately clenched David''s hand when Shirley didn''t notice them, but soon let go. David sensed that, but he didn''t say anything. He thought to himself, ''maybe Mr. Samuel has misunderstood something. He looked at me as if his deadly enemy at the first sight. It''s really hard to This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. say. I can only endure it silently and see if there is a proper time to exin it clearly.'' Samuel shook hands with him and said, "Hello, I''m Shirley''s husband." Samuel deliberately put a heavy ent on the word "husband", as if dering his sovereignty. Samuel''s voice was as deep and maic as a cello. When he spoke out the word "husband", her heart trembled, and she felt his ears numb... But Shirley was frightened, because Samuel had never said such words. At first, she thought they were just strangers who lived together for their own interests. But after he said in front of everyone that she was his womanst time, Shirley''s heart for him changed. But just now, he said he was her husband. It was really frightening for Samuel to say that. But at the same time, Shirley felt that her heart was as sweet as honey. ''No, I can''t. I''m not the real Shirley. Sooner orter, I''ll leave.'' She told herself this in her heart to restrain her overflowing feelings. "What? Don''t you want me to sit down?" Samuel asked. What he was thinking was that he wanted to see what you were talking about when he sat here. Shirley was frightened by his words just now. She sat on another chair in a hurry. At this time, two red clouds flew up on Shirley''s cheeks and her ears became red. Samuel was very satisfied with her reaction. Samuel sat down naturally, so that he and David could sit face to face. Samuel looked David up and down secretly. ''He was not bad looking, not as good as me. He dressed well, like a senior manager of a "I haven''t introduced myself yet. I''m one of Shirley''s college ssmates. Now I am the general manager of apany. I happened to meet Shirley that day, so I n to have a chat with her today." After hearing what he said, Samuel thought to himself, ''Shirley, you call her in an intimate way.'' He didn''t believe that a male college ssmate called Shirley out just for chatting not for anything else. This time, he would like to see who owned Shirley. But at the same time, he didn''t understand what was on Shirley''s mind. How could she be alone with a man at night and ignore him. "Oh, I see." As Samuel spoke, he raised his hand and put it on Shirley''s hand on the table. Startled, Shirley turned to look at Samuel, but he remained unmoved. And she couldn''t take her hand away. David saw the scene clearly. The diamond rings of the two men were shining, as if warning him not to cross the line. He felt sad and bitter. Samuel looked at David. Although he didn''t say anything, this small action was to dere his sovereignty. His eyes seemed to be provocative andcent. Seeing that he didn''t move, Shirley red at him. Samuel finally turned his head around, smiled and held her hand more tightly. Shirley couldn''t defeat him, so she had to give up and let him hold her. Samuel smiled and said, "Why are you a little shy?" He seemed to say this to Shirley, but actually it was to David. ''We are so sweet. How dare you step in!'' Shirley ignored him and pretended not to hear him. She didn''t know what was wrong with him. He had been abnormal and crazy from the very beginning! Seeing that no one spoke, Samuel asked, "Why don''t you talk? You can continue to talk about the old days as if I am not here. I can also listen to the college time of Shirley that I missed. " David was speechless. He thought, ''We are just acquainted with each other. How can I continue that topic? And the way you look at me makes me feel ufortable, let alone chatting with you.'' "Well, in fact, we have talked for a long time. We have almost finished what we should say." David politely refused Samuel. "Then tell me if there was anything interesting of Shirley in the university." Samuel didn''t stop until he forced him to leave. The scene was awkward for a while. "Shirley, she was very cautious when she was in college, and her IQ and EQ were high. Basically nothing interesting happened." In fact, David knew a lot about Shirley, but when he said this, his eyes changed, as if he had recalled something, with a smile in his eyes. But he didn''t want to say it out in front of Samuel. Samuel was good at observing. Observing each other''s expression and action during the business negotiation could provide an urate exnation for the sess or failure of the cooperation. Of course, he noticed his eyes. Samuel''s eyes changed with a smile. "Really? Then what do you like about her?" Samuel said abruptly. "I like... What are you talking about? Shirley is your wife." David almost fell into Samuel''s trap, but he still stopped in time and said two words. David really wanted to p himself on the spot Hearing this, Samuel put his hand on his lips and chuckled. Seeing this scene, Shirley wondered if Samuel was really crazy. She pulled her hand out when he was not noticing. She stopped talking. "It''s okay. Just tell me. Everyone has a story during the college time." Samuel continued. "Emm..."David had to cover the embarrassment with a cough. Samuel was really good at making the atmosphere awkward that everyone didn''t know what to say. Shirley couldn''t stand it anymore. She poked Samuel with her elbow to remind him.
