At the Crystal Palace.
In the study room, Derek sat on a chair. There were newspapers and magazines on the desk in front of him. The headlines were all about the conflict between Clara, Serina, and the Nathan Group.
They mentioned Derek, Serina’s patron.
Henry bent his back slightly. Derek looked no different from usual.
“Mr. Derek, we are in trouble. All the media seem to have united. They were bold and revealed your name. Should we manage the information?”
Derek remained silent. His dark eyes were like black pearls.
“Mr. Derek, if they continue to report on you, the image of the Saint Group will be affected.”
“What has Lauren been doing recently?” Derek asked.
Henry was stunned at first. He didn’t expect Derek to ask about Lauren instead of the news.
“Lauren went to the UK for a holiday the day before yesterday. She is abroad now.”
“When will she be back?”
“She will stay there for half a month to a month. Lauren told Louis before she left.”
Derek nodded. “Then leave it at that.”
“What?” Henry was shocked. How could Derek ignore such a big matter? “Mr. Derek, this matter is…”
Derek was the president of a world-class group! It was the first time the media had dared to release Derek’s negative news, which had a far-reaching influence.
“The media had predicted the outcome of exposing me. If we take action now, people will believe what Clara said.”
Henry nodded.
“On the contrary, if we ignore it, the media can only guess.”
“You are right.” Henry looked at Derek. Although he was much older, he was far inferior to Derek in terms of strategy.
“Where is Serina?”
“Ms. Serina moved into Mr. Ernest’s apartment.”
Hearing this, Derek frowned. She sought help from Ernest instead of him!
“Bring the equipment that monitors Serina’s mobile phone to my study.”
“Yes.”
Derek wanted to know how she had been living without him.
At the Grand Apartment.
At this moment, Serina, who was playing the game, sneezed several times.
She rubbed her nose. “Who is talking about me?”
Just as she was sneezing, she was ambushed. The sound of “game over” came from the computer.
Serina threw away the handle in frustration. “Damn it!”
As she spoke, her phone rang.
It was from Nora Carswell.
Serina answered the phone, “Hello.”
“Your Majesty, have you written anything recently?”
Nora’s voice was so sweet that Serina doubted that she wasn’t Nora. Serina checked again and discovered that the person on the other end was indeed Nora.
“Are you mad?”
“No! I just wanted to know if you have written something. Your novel is popular now. It’s a smash hit!”
Serina hesitated for a moment. A few days ago, she had written quite a lot on Water Cloud Island and had set up regular updates. She paid no attention to it lately.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“OK.” Serina wasn’t excited. She was improvising and writing stories about herself and Derek.
“I’ve applied for a recommendation for you. You’ll be recommended in two days. You should write more in the following days to serialize it.”
“The call from you always means trouble!”
“For money’s sake, for the sake of dollar! Your Majesty, I beg you. My bonus relies on you!”
When it came to money, Serina was stunned. She was currently penniless!
“Work hard. I will get recommendations for you. Then we’ll be stinking rich!” Nora bragged.
Serina snorted. “Nora, you are more reliable on a blind date.”
“What!”
“Alright. I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll write it industriously.”
After hanging up the phone, Serina was silent for a moment. She was now penniless. If it weren’t for Ernest’s help, she wouldn’t even have a place to live in. How could she ask Ernest for money!
She needed to write the novel to earn money!
She accessed the file and looked at the story. The hero in the story took the heroine on vacation.
Derek’s dark face appeared in her mind. This man had done so many bad things behind her back!
What a scheming man!
Serina typed the cunning aspect of Derek into her computer.
At Heaven Alley Community.
Clara was on the balcony in a white dress. She was on the phone. The call was from Mia.
“Clara, the effect of the public relations is very good! Many directors said that they want to fight against evil and have invited you to participate in their films!”
Mia’s attitude changed greatly.
“Really? That’s great.”
“I have chosen a few characters for you. You can take a look at them later. A few companies want you to be their brand ambassadors. I’ve signed several contracts for you, such as skin care products and tampons. You should post that you’ve started working. It’s a good chance to set up a positive image.”
“No problem.” A complacent smile appeared on Clara’s face.
“I’ll take you to discuss the commercials the day after tomorrow. You’ll be very busy. Take a rest these two days.”
“OK.”
After hanging up the phone, Clara looked at the sun and squinted. Everything started over.
That was good.
The Norris Construction Company had a new partner and received new orders. The problem of funds had been solved, and the Nathan Group was improving.
As for Clara, she had new jobs and was guaranteed to marry Sammy.
“Serina, even if you have a patron, you won’t be able to defeat me.”
“Clara!” A shout woke up Clara from her thoughts.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Sammy striding towards her.
“Sammy, you are back. How is your business trip? Do you want to take a bath?”
After failing to sign the contract with the LC Group, Sammy went on a business trip to seek other cooperation. He returned and heard about Clara’s press conference.
“Clara, how could you say that at the press conference?”
Sammy frowned and said aggressively.
Clara shrugged her shoulders. “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? I’m talking about the matter of Serina and me! I got drunk and slept with you. How can you say that I broke up with Serina because she was too bossy?”
