Chapter 982


    Sophia noticed that Alice had lost her bnce momentarily when Sandra grabbed her.


    Sandra was determined to embarrass Sophia since thetter had brought up her embarrassing past.


    Filled with anger and hatred, she subconsciously exerted too much strength while grabbing Alice,


    causing the unprepared Alice to nearly fall over.


    Alice frowned as her body toppled for a moment. Despite her best efforts at exercising restraint, she still


    felt an excruciating pain in her waist.


    Her wound had yet to heal, causing her to feel severe pain when Sandra tugged at her. She felt deeply


    unwell, and the color gradually drained from her face.


    At this critical moment, a pair ofrge, warm hands suddenly reached out from behind and supported


    her back gently, saving her from further gaffes.


    Alice didn’t look back, but she smelled the ssically elegant scent of sandalwood. She had been


    helplessly intoxicated by the exact same scent six years ago while she was by River Seine that fateful


    night. When she woke up in a hotel bed after that, the person had left nothing behind in the room except


    for the lingering scent of sandalwood.


    Just like that, he left without a trace.


    Snapping out of her memories involving the sandalwood scent, she whispered to Daniel behind her and


    said, “Thank you.”


    Daniel kept standing behind Alice while watching the situation in the hall without saying a word.


    Sandra deliberately skirted the issue of apologizing as she wanted Alice to punish Sophia for using a


    knock-off cell phone. Seeing that Alice did not take action, she boiled over with rage and went so far as


    to reach her hand out again in an attempt to grab Alice.


    After Sandra had grabbed her earlier on, several scratches appeared on Alice’s exposed arm. Being


    well-prepared this time, she cleverly dodged Sandra when thetter reached out to grab her again.


    Meanwhile, the bodyguard sensed that something was wrong and immediately stood between the two to


    keep Sandra away.


    Sandra stared at Alice in utter surprise. She was mortified after Sophia teed her off just now, so she


    desperately needed Alice to save her from embarrassment bying forward to give Sophia a hard


    time. However, she didn’t expect Alice to remain silent even after she had spoken so much.

    “What’s wrong with you, Alice? This woman is using a Dragon Eye knock-off! You’re one of Dragon Eye’s


    developers—how can you let it slide? What the hell is going on with you?!”


    Sandra’s questioning tone was filled with displeasure; it was as though Dragon Eye belonged to her and


    Alice was a mere worker.


    Knowing that the Mitchell Family was finished, Sophia smiled gracefully.


    As expected, Alice had lost her patience; she was displeased from the very beginning when Sandra


    overstepped her position. Now, Sandra had even took liberties with her and leveled such nonsensical


    and shameless usations.


    Feeling a dull ache in her wound, Alice looked a bit pale; the smile on her face had long since been


    reced with an immeasurablymanding and impatient expression.


    Sandra was waiting for Alice to give Sophia a p in the face, but she didn’t expect to hear something


    else. “Miss Mitchell, the cell phone Miss Edwards is using is not a knock-off, but a genuine custom-made


    model produced by the Michel Group’s cell phone division. Only a pair of them are avable across the


    globe!”


    That was right—Sophia certainly wouldn’t use a knock-off cell phone. In reality, her cell phone was a


    customized Dragon Eye model made specially for her by Cooper and Linus.


    The cell phone ran on Dragon Eye 7’stest operating system, and it was equipped with the most


    advanced functions. Since it had the best quality, the materials used for this custom-build cost even more


    than Dragon Eye’s market price. Sophia thought that Dragon Eye cell phones looked ugly on the outside,


    so Linus redesigned the cell phone’s exterior just for her. Because of that, her cell phone looked different


    from the ordinary Dragon Eye cell phone models.


    Cooper had given her a pair of these cell phones as a present, and she gave one of them to Michael.


    Therefore, the ‘knock-off cell phones’ they were using were actually custom-built models.


    Upon hearing Alice’s words, everyone looked at the ‘knock-off’ cell phone in Sophia’s hand.


    No wonder! Sophia’s ‘knock-off’ cell phone felt very high-ss and expensive from the beginning—it’s


    completely different from other knock-off devices. It turns out that…


    Ignoring Sandra’s profound shock and disbelief, Alice reproved angrily with amanding look in her


    ocean-blue eyes and said, “Mr. Murray’s cell phone isn’t a knock-off either. Not only is he using a


    genuine one, but he is also the global spokesperson for the new Dragon Eye 7 which will be announced


    soon. Miss Mitchell, please show some respect to Dragon Eye’s spokesperson!”


    Everyone was astounded.


    It turned out that Taylor was also a spokesperson for Dragon Eye—in fact, he was the global


    spokesperson for the high-end version!


    This revtion reminded them of previous online articles. Whenever Nichs showed off his low-end


    version of the Dragon Eye cell phone, what immediately followed would be nderous articles that


    used Taylor of using a Dragon Eye knock-off. These articles used Taylor of overrating his abilities


    bypeting with Nichs for the endorsement deal with Dragon Eye despite bing less handsome


    due to his old age. ording to these articles, Taylor issued press releases to show off even before he


    hadnded the endorsement deal, but he was pped in the face right away when Nichsnded the


    endorsement deal with Dragon Eye once again.


    In the eyes of anyyman, this was an entertaining drama between two male celebrities in show


    business. A male celebrity who was past his prime put up ast-ditch struggle after being too confident,


    but he didn’t expect to lose face when he lost the fight against his junior in the entertainment industry


    over an endorsement deal.


    However, those familiar with show business knew that this was actually a plot hatched up by somebody


    so that they could rise to fame by riding on Taylor’s poprity and even ndering him.


    The identity of the person behind the plot was obvious; whoever benefited from this had to be the


    mastermind behind the plot.


    “Ah, so this is Dragon Eye 7! I must’ve been blind earlier on. This looks so much better than Nichs’s


    low-end version!”


    “How could the low-end version bepared with the high-end one? They are totally different in terms of


    concept; the low-end version is significantly cheaper than the high-end one. There are big differences


    between the two models, and there are big differences between the respective spokespersons too.”


    “The high-end version’s global spokesperson kept such a low profile, whereas the low-end version’s


    spokesperson in Cethos couldn’t wait to y up his endorsement deal with Dragon Eye every single day.


    Perhaps this is the difference between a low-ss, attention-seeking idol versus a first-ss artist!”


    “He ndered someone else for more than a month and showered him with all kinds of abuses,


    nderous remarks, and foulnguage just because of a cell phone. I wonder How Glory Entertainment


    is going to clear up this mess this time.”


    The crowd whispered among themselves while looking at the cell phone in Sophia’s hand. Meanwhile,


    Sandra’s face grew darker as she listened to theirments.


    Unwilling to stay out of the limelight, Stanley took out his Dragon Eye 7. “All of you have been mistaken,


    people. My aunt’s cell phone is custom-built, and there are only two of these cell phones in the world; my


    aunt has one of them, whereas my uncle has the other. Come and take a look at this—this is the Dragon


    Eye 7 that will soon be released to the market, and it’s quite pleasant to use. Its operating system runs


    more smoothly than before, and it responds to the user’s touch a lot more quickly. What’s more, ites


    with portrait retouching functions…”


    Everyone’s attention was drawn to Dragon Eye 7, but some people were still paying attention to the


    embarrassed Sandra. As Glory Entertainment’s actual controller, not only did Sandra mock people online


    for using knock-off cell phones, she even humiliated someone in person at the banquet organized by L/K


    today.


    Sandra was absolutely shocked at this moment before she was consumed with towering rage.


    Did Dragon Eye make Michael the global spokesperson for its high-end version?


    She looked at Alice furiously, and her fingernails sank into her palms.


    Alice had turned around and left while everyone was paying attention to the Dragon Eye. She didn’t want


    to see Sandra anymore.


    As expected, someone who’s engaged in sports isn’t fit to do business. When Alice saw Sandra for the


    first time, several words which could be used to describe thetter came into her mind. There must be


    something wrong with her mind; she failed to recognize a great person, yet she’s so intoxicated by her


    sess and acting like a d*mn snob.


    She was so puffed up with pride only because one of the artists under her agency became a regional


    spokesperson for the low-end version of Dragon Eye cell phones. Judging by how confident she looked,


    was she absolutely certain that she’d be Dragon Eye’s agent? Who gave her the confidence to


    think that way?!
