Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 657 - 356 Ten thousand hardships_4
Although it’s not unusual for a major brand to have two or three endorsers, having two in the same country is truly rare.
"Why is everything spoken in reverse these days? Lisa, you know best about what happened. Everybody saw who walked out of Grant’s CEO office disheveled in the last hour. But you managed to snatch it, and we admit defeat. Just don’t spout nonsense or you’ll make a fool of yourself." Angela Scott remembered the incident, still angry, and fired back without mercy.
However, after witnessing so much in this circle, anger passes in a few days. But she had never seen a woman like this, who could twist facts and speak such absurdities.
Moreover, her words involved Beckett Wright, and Angela Scott’s rage flared up instantly.
If Avery Jane dared to take that step, contracts would be flying her way.
Even a fool could see Mr. Hughes had feelings for Avery Jane. If Avery Jane was willing, she could probably get the entire M.C.
That’s why she wasn’t afraid of Lisa at all, because in this circle, it’s all about backing. With Joshua Hughes, everyone is small fry compared to such a man.
Lisa relied on her status as a favorite in the company, caring for nobody, and Angela had tolerated her attitude for a long time. Today, Angela finally vented slightly, as what she said was the truth.
"What did you say? Repeat that again?"
Lisa was clearly enraged, her face turning an alarming shade, her finger pointing at Angela trembling slightly, evidently furious.
"I’m saying we all know whose contract at Grant’s originally was. Who used underhanded means to steal the advertisement endorsement - everyone in the company knows, Lisa, so don’t act all innocent. We’ll be in the same company in the future." Angela Scott took Avery Jane’s hand, ready to leave.
Since Avery Jane wasn’t feeling well today, it seemed pointless to continue arguing with Lisa.
"Ah... what are you doing?" Angela screamed sharply, attracting many onlookers.
Lisa’s long nails scratched Angela’s face, drawing tiny beads of blood, stark and shocking.
The tense atmosphere instantly tightened the small break room.
"Teach you a lesson. You’re just a minor manager. Dare to talk nonsense again, and I’ll tear your mouth apart." Lisa said maliciously, more people gathered, whispering among themselves. She had to show some authority or how would she maintain her image in front of junior staff?
Plus, Avery Jane had nothing more than a flirtation with Beckett Wright, while Lisa had at least two men supporting her, who could protect her even if she hit someone. Though those old and ugly men always tried to exploit her, there’s no other way to establish oneself in this industry.
"You dare hit me, I’m calling the police." Angela hesitated, her face stinging with pain.
Lisa’s action caught her off guard.
They were within the company, surrounded by a crowd. If Angela couldn’t reclaim some dignity now, she’d better not think of mentoring newcomers in the future. Who would want to follow a manager who’s a pushover?
"Go ahead, I was thinking of suing you for slander. Without solid evidence, what you said is defamation. Did you take a photo of me? Do you have a video? You have neither. Even if you don’t report, I will. This is self-defense; someone damaged my reputation, I was just furious. I believe the police won’t trouble me. But you, with so many people hearing you bad-mouth me, unless you bow and apologize now, we’ll meet in court." Lisa smirked triumphantly.
Over the years, her scandals had risen alongside her fame, and now she disregarded others, especially small players like Angela Scott and Avery Jane.
"Apologize."
The voice was clear and sweet, yet inherently cold and unapproachable. Avery Jane’s red lips moved slightly, and the two words were like invisible bombs exploding in Angela Scott’s heart, causing acute pain. What did she mean? Angela had stood up for Avery Jane, yet Avery was asking her to apologize to that woman.
