From the information given to her by Lina, Rosiley understood that the project that Times Entertainment wanted to collaborate with the Thunderbolt Group on was a movie. It had been abandoned because the Thunderbolt Group did not see any value in investing in it.
Rosiley learned briefly about the movie. The plot had interesting points but was mostly conservative. The actors and actresses involved were all celebrities, and an experienced screenwriter wrote the story. A lot of effort and money had been put into production and creation.
It felt like the movie was too superficially fancy without any deep and meaningful content. No amount of money could change that.
After examining the situation, Rosiley inevitably frowned.
She was a reporter who knew nothing about movie-making. It was a huge challenge for her to complete this task.
Seeing her frustration, Yayoi couldn’t help asking, “Can’t you just ask your CEO Lu to solve this problem?”
Rosiley shook her head disapprovingly. “He is busy, so I don’t want to depend on him for everything. Furthermore, I can resolve this matter myself.”
Yayoi murmured in an incredulous tone, “Rosiley, you are indeed an unusually pure character in the entertainment industry, choosing to forgo support you can get from a big boss. I like your character!”
…
While Rosiley was stuck in her busy work, Rorey was joyous at Rosiley’s misery.
“Lonny, you’ve done well this time. We should indeed punish that b*tch Rosiley. I cannot act directly, so you must strike harshly on my behalf.”
On the phone call, Rorey’s voice was devious.
“Don’t worry. She is already in deep trouble from the pressure given by Director Lin Cheng. It’s just a matter of time before Rosiley gets fired. It is also impossible for her to go to REG. Even if she did get in, she’d be fired within three days.”
Lonny laughed viciously and spoke with confident words.
However, Rorey didn’t agree with her plan. “Don’t fire her just yet, or it will not be fun when I make my return to the entertainment industry. I wanted to destroy her personally in the future.”
“I know. I shall drag the matter on and continue to make her life difficult.” Lonny nodded and asked about another topic, “How is the preparation for your return going? I heard that it might not be as easy as you think since the previous scandal had a huge impact on you.”
“No worries. Now that Yunis’s company had stabilized, he is preparing for my return. I will start by doing some charity work to curate a positive image and change my reputation. Other celebrities in my circle want to help me. However, I might need your help getting introduced to those directors and reporters you have connections with. If you can help me, you will naturally be well-compensated.”
Hearing Rorey’s request made Lonny’s eyes light up with greed. “Rorey, you are my good sister. There is no need to be polite. Just tell me if you need help, and I will help you with all my effort.”
During all these years, Lonny received various benefits from Rorey.
The reason she was flattering her now was because of Rorey’s position as the wife to the young owner of the Ji Group, a prestigious title.
If she could marry into a wealthy family using Rorey as a connection, she would enter the upper-class and be well-off.
“That’s good. I’ll hang up if you don’t have anything more to say. Call me again if there is any change with Rosiley.”
After she hung up, Rorey’s face turned icy cold.
“Rosiley, let’s see who will have the last laugh in our conflict!”
“Daughter, will that little b*tch Rosiley harm you since she was humiliated this time?” from behind, Xenia asked Rorey out of concern.
She was afraid of the numerous methods Rosiley could use.
“No, I used Lonny to deal with her. She will be busy handling Lonny and Tanghai Entertainment at the same time, and will have no energy to deal with me.”
Rorey smiled proudly as if she had already witnessed the terrible fate of Rosiley.
Hearing her explanation, Xenia heaved a sigh of relief as she smirked evilly. “That’s good. That little b*tch should suffer now. I’ll see what more drama she can stir up.”
“Mum, let’s not talk about her. I want to ask you something. Exactly when will Seneca transfer me 20% of the Group’s shares? He promised you that he would give me 20% of his shares as my dowry.”
“This…”
Rorey’s sudden change in topic rendered Xenia speechless.
She sighed and explained, “I’ve reminded him, but he didn’t agree immediately. He was very disappointed about the drama between you and that little b*tch this time. After all, that little b*tch is his daughter, and he must be unhappy to see her being bullied. However, there is no need to worry as I promise you that I will make him transfer those shares to you.
“I have sacrificed a lot for family all these years. He won’t see the end of it if he gives you any less.”
As she spoke, Xenia’s expression turned colder, her face full of disdain.
“Humph, that old dog still favors the b*tch Rosiley despite my many years of flattering him and pretending to be his good daughter. Perhaps he doesn’t even see me as his daughter. Maybe he only married you to find a free maid that can take care of Rosiley.”
Rorey ground her teeth, a tinge of fury and unwillingness in her eyes.
Xenia’s expression turned gloomier as well. “Let’s endure first, daughter. He should still love me. If what you said is correct, Mother will break up with him even for your sake.”
“Humph, that’d better be the case, or I will have to result to more cruel means!”
As she spoke, a simmer of devious chill appeared in Rorey’s eyes.
