Chapter 471
Amelia was upset that Kate was always siding with Skr and said, “Kate, you’re too biased. You are
giving all the good jobs to Skr. All that’s left for me are just some random magazine shoots.”
Kate let out a self-deprecatingughter and answered, “You think too highly of me. Do you think I have a
say in the cast of Empyrean Sword? You should be asking the higher-ups for an opportunity to be in it
instead of me.”

Amelia replied awkwardly, “It doesn’t seem like the higher-ups truly treat Skr well anyway, letting her
star in that kind of show. If her poprity shoots up after the show is broadcast, it wouldn’t be surprising
if her next step is to star in R-rated films.”
Sensing Amelia’s jealousy, Kate replied smilingly, “You shouldn’t be assuming what her stardom journey
would be like. Skr has God-given good looks that are meant for this industry, and you shouldn’t feel
indignant over that. It would only be unfair if the both of you were equally attractive but she’s being
favored.”
Meanwhile, Valerie had asked Susan out for a meal. The two of them had known each other for a long
time. Having worked closely together previously, they had always maintained a good rtionship.
After Royal Entertainment was set up by the Ford Group, Valerie was appointed as the executive
president.
Even though Valerie was reluctant to take up the position, Tobias did not give her an option. As such, she
had no choice but to leave Tobias’ side.
When Valerie saw Susan in the afternoon, she noticed how tired the woman looked and couldn’t help but
ask, “Is it that busy at the office? You have lost so much weight! You were already very skinny, to begin
with. If this carries on, I’m worried that you’ll be left with bones the next time I see you. How are you
doingtely? You haven’t been replying to my messages.”
Susan added some ice cubes to her lemonade and gulped the entire ss down at one go in order to
quench her thirst.
Then, she starting ranting, “How can I not be busy? It’s all Sheldon’s fault. Not only is he inefficient at
work, but he’s always ying games in the office. I have to go through every single document once
before I can let him sign on them.”
Having a hard time understanding, Valerie replied, “Yeah, I don’t know what Mr. Ford is thinking. How
can he appoint that trash as CEO? After bing a couple with thatss from ourpany, he has
been acting without logic sometimes.”
“Well, it’s not possible for us to understand what Mr. Ford is thinking. He’s been with Skr for quite a
while. That girl must be quite something to be able to stay by his side for that long. Mr. Ford would even
pick up her calls during meetings,” Susan said.
Valerie sneered and replied, “What a bit*h! She’s abusing her power in thepany just because she
has a pretty face. She probably thinks she’s the one calling the shots in thepany. I arranged for
some work for her today, but she refused to cooperate. Ugh, the nerve! She really thinks she’s the
queen, doesn’t she? Let’s see how long she canst with Mr. Ford!”
Susan cautioned Valerie worriedly, “I think you shouldn’t make things difficult for Skr on ount of her
rtionship with Mr. Ford. If he knows that you are giving her trouble, he might not let you off easily.”
However, Valerie replied confidently, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve been with Mr. Ford for so many
years. How can shepare to me? Mr. Ford and I are like family, meanwhile, she’s just an outsider.”
Susan felt that ever since Valerie left theirpany, she became shier and more seemed to always
behave haughtily. As she gained more authority, she had also be full of herself.
In the past, Valerie read situations well and would not behave in such a brash manner. Perhaps her
reaction was also because she was used to seeing Tobias being surrounded by countless women who
were gone as soon as they came. As such, she was aware that Tobias wasn’t someone who had a soft
spot for women.
Susan felt that she had done her part to caution Valerie and if Valerie insisted on seeking her doom,
there was nothing she could do.
