Chapter 1848


    After Victor and Dean left, Hollie''s eyes turned gloomy as she looked at De, "How dare you cast a


    greedy eye on my client?"


    De looked at her with a sneer. Hollie was very mad, and her eyes were filled with malice.


    Didn''t she know what she had done after she came to River City?


    Victor loved his wife very much, but she actually wanted to cooperate with him by seducing him.


    She had stalled for many days, and Victor had lost his patience.


    Victor wanted to settle in M. L Mall, and what he needed was a person that could help hispany.


    Therefore, Victor did not care too much about thepany.


    Furthermore, after Hollie left O Country, theirpany had be the biggest shareholder of M. L


    Mall. Victor had no reason to reject her olive branch.


    She said slowly, "Miss Martin, I think you haven''t figured it out yet. The business world is like a


    battlefield. Everything can change in a sh. You hesitated to sign the contract with Alwynn Group,


    but now you shift the me onto me. I didn''t know that you''re so shameless."


    "You..."


    "Sorry, Miss Martin, I have other things to do, and I won''t apany you." After that, De smiled


    and left with her assistant.


    "De, you can''t sign the contract with Alwynn Group. I talked to them first." Hollie refused to give


    up.


    De stopped in front of her. Victor wouldn''t cooperate with herpany anymore, would he?


    "Miss Martin, I have to remind you that we are adults. We should act with propriety instead of doing


    things at will. The olive branch offered by mypany is attractive enough, so Alwynn Group will


    cooperate with us."


    "The oue is definitely settled. This matter is not up to me now. Mr. Alwynn has the final say."


    After that, De looked at her and smiled. She won, but the expression on her pretty face was not


    smug at all. Instead, she looked calm and peaceful.


    The simple and graceful makeup made her look pleasant to the eye.


    Hollie stood still and stared at the door in a daze. She was overwhelmed by despair.


    She had messed up.


    She was very interested in Victor and wanted to win his heart.


    Shed just pretended to be unwilling to cooperate with Victor.


    Hollie turned around to look for Victor. They would sign the contract tomorrow night, so she still had


    time.


    But her phone rang as she walked out of the private box.


    It was the president calling her, and she had a bad feeling.


    "Hello?" Her voice was the same as usual, and she didn''t want the president to sense anything


    wrong.


    "Hollie, I''ve heard about the cooperation with Alwynn Group. You don''t have to go back to the


    company. You''ve been fired."


    "No, please listen to me..."


    Before she could finish her words, the president had hung up the phone.


    She immediately understood that her assistant had betrayed her. Otherwise, how could the


    president know this matter so quickly?


    She dialed the assistant''s number quickly, but he had turned off his phone.


    "Ah..." Hollie sat on the ground feebly, feeling so desperate.


    She didn''t expect that she would screw it up.


    Since the day she parted unhappily with Victor, Dean had been talking to her. She knew Victor''s


    sincerity. That day, she just wanted to test Victor once again. Unexpectedly, Victor suddenly turned


    hostile and refused to cooperate with her.


    No, she could not sit passively for her end. As long as Victor was willing to cooperate with their


    company, she would have a chance to go back to thepany, and she wouldn''t have worked so


    hard for many years in vain.


    Hollie cheered up and turned around to look for Victor.


    After Victor got in the car, he immediately called Eden.


    Eden answered the phone in a few seconds.


    "Eden, where are you? I''lle and pick you up!"


    Eden said, "I''m near Mirth Company, but you don''t have to pick me up. I''m going back now. Abby


    has been picked up by Anson."


    Victor nced at the time and then looked at Dean, saying, "Eden, don''te back. We''ll go out for


    dinner tonight. Wait for me at the coffee shop in the mall. I''ll pick you upter." He would give her a


    surprise by the way.


    "Alright, I''ll wait for you in the cafe. Don''t be in a hurry. Be careful on the road." Eden had walked out


    of the mall, and she went back again.


    "Okay!"


    After hanging up the phone, Eden returned to the cafe and ordered a small strawberry cake and a


    cup of tea.


    After shopping for a whole day, she was a little hungry.


    She sat by the window and ate quietly.


    After she ate half of the cake, someone suddenly walked to her front.


    Eden raised her head and saw Ciara standing in front of her with tears.


    Eden nced at her casually and lowered her head to eat a mouthful of cake.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    There was ayer of ice cream in the cake, and it was really tasty.


    Ciara sat opposite her.


    Eden looked at her and said unhappily, "Do you have anything to say?"


    Ciara nodded, and her face was filled with hatred, "Mrs. Alwynn, you''ve ruined my life."


    Eden sneered, "You''re the one who ruined your own life."


    Ciara suppressed her anger, "Can you tread my life at will just because you''re rich and powerful?"


    "Can you seduce someone else''s husband just because you''re pretty?" Eden picked up the tissue


    and wiped the corner of her mouth elegantly.


    "I... just want to take care of Mr. Skye. I don''t have any other intentions." She knew that she was in


    the wrong, but Anson and Abigail were still in love, weren''t they?


    Eden did not speak. She took a sip of tea to ease the sweet taste in her mouth.


    Ciara hadn''t realized her mistake yet.


    "If you just want to talk about this matter with me, you can leave." Eden raised her head and looked


    at her quietly.


    She did not regret what she had done that day.


    She couldn''t control someone else''s life. She only knew that if it weren''t for Abby, she wouldn''t have


    had such a good life.


    Everyone had their own beloved ones and things to protect. She had to protect the people and


    things she cared about.


    "Mrs. Alwynn, acting is my lifelong dream. I beg you. Please don''t treat me like this, okay? I''ll never


    seduce Mr. Skye again." Ciara didn''t want to leave. She had to return to Mirth Company.


    She could achieve her dream there.


    Eden smiled and took a sip of tea.


    "Everyone has a dream. It depends on how they pursue their dreams. Some people take a shortcut


    to achieve their dreams, and some people use their own strength to realize their dreams. You seem


    to be the former, right? Since you want to pursue your dream by dirty tricks, what qualification do


    you have to beg me?" Eden''s tone was somewhat mocking.


    One couldn''t have a sense of aplishment unless he achieved his dream by his hard work.


    Ciara knew what Eden meant, but it was really hard to realize her dream. She needed a lot of acting


    resources so that she could be a movie queen. She had been lesser-known, and she didn''t


    know when she could have good acting resources.


    Only by having a better rtionship with her leader could she get more resources.


    But her heart was melted by Anson''s infatuation.


    Anson was really good. Anyone who married him would live a happy life!
