I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 410 - 409: The Girl from Six Years Ago (13)

"What?" Anabel Wilton was stupefied. "No way! If Mr. Cooper finds out it was me... He... he definitely won’t let me off!"

Who was this man? He could even be so rude to Irene Spencer, let alone a minor character like her.

"Irene!" Anabel Wilton stood up in a panic, grabbing Irene Spencer’s arm. "Hasn’t this... hasn’t it passed already? Can we just not mention it again, please?"

"No!" Irene Spencer interrupted her coldly. "If I don’t explain this to Kris Cooper, he’ll definitely ignore me from now on. Lucy Clark, I promise, as long as you take the fall for this, I absolutely won’t treat you unfairly. One million! How about one million?!"

"Irene!"

Anabel Wilton’s face was troubled.

"Five million. That should be enough, right?!" Irene Spencer gripped her shoulders. "Think about it! You could work your whole life and never make five million. If you help me settle this, you can take the money and live the life you’ve always wanted. You can leave the entertainment industry far behind, live the life you’ve always dreamed of..."

"But..." Anabel Wilton frowned. "Mr. Cooper won’t let me off the hook. I... I’m scared, Irene. I’m begging you, please don’t make this difficult for me, okay?"

Of course, she wanted the money, but Kris Cooper... Just thinking about that man’s demeanor from earlier made her heart pound with fear.

"Irene!" Anabel Wilton frowned and said, "I can help you with other things, but I really can’t do this. My family is in Nicosa too. I can’t offend Kris Cooper because of you. He’s not someone I can afford to provoke."

Maggie Clarke is a star, isn’t she? Yet, with a single word, Kris Cooper had her replaced as the second female lead and completely blacklisted her.

She was just an assistant; if she took responsibility for this, the consequences were obvious.

True, she had benefited quite a bit from working with Irene Spencer, but that was all earned through her own hard work. She had put in so much effort during her year and more with Irene Spencer, only for Irene Spencer to ask her to take the fall in the end.

Money is good, but you have to be alive to spend it.

Anabel Wilton wasn’t willing to do something as foolish as sacrificing her future for five million.

Seeing that a soft approach wasn’t working, Irene Spencer’s expression hardened. "Lucy Clark, I’ve treated you well. Now that I need you, you’re not going to do this for me, is that right?"

Seeing Irene Spencer’s tone turn cold, Anabel Wilton’s expression also chilled. "Irene, you should know how I’ve been to you. For over a year, I’ve handled everything for you, task by task. Treating me like this is a bit much, don’t you think?"

As an assistant who had gone to such lengths, Anabel Wilton considered herself to have done her utmost for Irene Spencer. Everyone has their bottom line, and Anabel Wilton certainly wouldn’t disregard everything for the sake of a boss.

At worst, she could find a new employer. Besides, she had her own resources now; she genuinely didn’t care if she had to leave Irene Spencer.

Moreover, she wasn’t afraid of Irene Spencer.

She knew all of Irene Spencer’s secrets; if things truly turned hostile, she wouldn’t mind exposing them all. At that point, it would mean mutual ruin!

Detecting the threat in Anabel Wilton’s tone, Irene Spencer’s fingers, hanging by her side, clenched into fists, yet she managed to paste a smile back onto her face. "Forget it. I know this is a bit much to ask of you. We’ll figure something else out later. You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Come on, let’s go downstairs and eat!"
