Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Right now, in the office of the general manager of K Hotel, the atmosphere was heavy. Evadne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her hands clasped behind her back. Her elegant and beautiful figure radiated an authority that no one could challenge. “Who told you to release that video?” “You said you wanted a video that could stir up public discussion.” Jason stood behind her, his face gloomy. “Jason, as my secretary and someone who grew up with me, you should know what I hate most!” Evadne slowly turned her head. “You were trying to help me, but you were also acting on your own. I know what you were up to. You wanted to use this to boot my popularity. to use my kind image to criticize Glynnis’s behavior.” The more she spoke, the lower Jason’s head drooped because each sentence pierced his heart. “But let me tell you, I don’t need it.” Evadne’s gaze became colder, “I do these things because it’s what I should do. Even if I hate Glynnis, I wouldn’t stoop to such showy tactics to belittle her. Once a good deed is put under the camera lens for people to judge, it loses its original meaning.” “I was wrong. I just wanted to.” “What you want doesn’t matter.” Evadne turned to pick up her phone, her face expressionless, “I’m calling Cas s ius now to have him call you back. The way you act doesn’t fit my style. “No!” Jason’s face turned pale, and he quickly grabbed Evadne’s wrist, “Miss, you can punish me in any way you want! Let me clean the hotel toilets, wash dishes in the kitchen, and deduct my salary! But there’s one thing, please don’t let me leave you, okay?” Evadne frowned, her wrist aching a bit.
The look in his eyes startled her. Jason came from a family of law professionals. His father was a senior judge, his mother a well-known lawyer, and both his brothers held important positions in the legal field. Although they weren’t as wealthy as some tycoons, they were still a family of status, and Jason had received a high level of education since he was a child, growing up pampered. But for the Ashbourne group, for her, he was willing to give up his status and be her secretary. Thinking of this, Evadne softened a bit, sighing, “This is the last time. Don’t mess up again.” “Thank you! Thank you! I’ll never make decisions on my own again!” Jason’s eyes sparkled, and he was on the verge of tears. “Let go of my hand. Remember your place.” Evadne said softly, her lips curling up slightly. Only then did Jason realize that he was still holding her wrist. His heart pounded, and he quickly withdrew his hand, his face flushed. His palm still seemed to hold her scent. “So, about your video trending.” “I’ll tell Elvis to handle it, now you come with me.” Evadne elegantly picked out a suit jacket, and Jason immediately understood her meaning, hurrying to take off the suit and carefully help her put it on. “I’m going to see Glynnis.” Glynnis found herself trending again, and she was very anxious. “Mom, what should I do now?” Glynnis angrily called Elspeth to complain, “I just got out of the last trending topic, and that country girl is back. She’s just trying to get me into trouble!* “Are you out of your mind? Don’t you know how did you get out of the trending topic? And you’re still gloating over here?” Elspeth shouted. Glynnis rubbed her forehead. Of course, she wasn’t as stu pid as her mother said, but Ilana’s appearance distracted her. “So what should I do now? This negative news is very detrimental to me. Ilana’s heroic rescue news
leaves me defenseless, am I supposed to be overshadowed by her fame?” “I’ve explained this to your father, and he told you not to come out and clarify or apologize, not to make any statements.” Elspeth’s voice was low, “And Thaddeus will surely help you solve this problem. He won’t let the company’s interests be harmed. You better not stir up any more trouble. understand?” Glynnis felt a little relieved by her mother’s rea**urances, hung up the phone, and continued to shop at her Moonlit Treasures with her two friends. At this time, outside the Moonlit Treasures, a top-of-the-line Rolls Royce slowly parked in front. Dressed in a high-end and custom-made blue suit, Evadne, accompanied by Jason, entered the Moonlit Treasures. Her appearance immediately drew everyone’s attention. Her beauty and temperament could not be ignored. “Miss, is there anything I can help you with?” The female attendant came forward to greet her. Evadne’s beauty made her overlook the male secretary behind her. “Call your boss, Glynnis. I don’t need anyone else’s service but hers,” Evadne stated her needs directly. “Oh.” “I know she’s upstairs. If she makes me wait too long, she will regret it.” “May I know your name?” Evadne smiled slightly, “Call me Ms. Ilana.” -The female attendant immediately went upstairs to inform Glynnis. 11:26 Chapter 59 Glynnis was surprised to hear that a beautiful Ms. Ilana was looking for her. Her face turned red. She wanted to smash something to vent but thought the stuff in the store was too expensive. White she was in a dilemma, her friend spoke up. “Glynnis I think that woman deliberately released that trending topic!” A female friend exclaimed angrily. “That’s right! Now that she’s delivered herself on a silver platter, you can’t let her off easily, and this is a great opportunity!” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“We’ll definitely support you and help you teach her a lesson! Let’s go see her!” Glynnis was egged on by her friends, and her anger intensified. She decided to go see this, visiting Ms. Ilana with her two girlfriends. “Iana! You shameless woman! You have the nerve to come looking for me?!” At this moment, Evadne sat quietly, her long and beautiful legs hidden under wrinkle-free trouser legs, yet still eye-catching. She held a high-end cup and saucer, leisurely enjoying her English tea, as relaxed as if she were at home. “Miss Glynnis, is this how you do business? You insult your guests without fear of tarnishing your reputation?” “Guest? You’re nothing more than a gold-digger trying to latch onto Thaddeus and steal our Abernathy family fortune!” Glynnis retorted, pointing at Evadne’s face with her expensive crystal-manicured fingers. At that moment, the shop was empty except for the staff. Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this. What was going on? Miss Ilana seemed to exude the aura of a wealthy heiress. Her outfit, even her hair, shimmered with refinement. How could she be like what Glynnis had described? “Alright, I’ll be honest. I didn’t come here to shop. After all the quality of your goods is so poor. They’re not worth my attention,” Evadne smiled calmly. There was no need to get angry at the shallow and foolish Glynnis in front of her. Glynnis wanted to retort but her arrogance crumbled when she noticed the expensive Twilight pendant on Evadne’s chest. “My purpose here is simple.” Evadne set down her cup, not even bothering to lift her eyelids, “I want you to hold a press conference and apologize to the hotel staff member you slandered, who is now in the hospital because of you.”
