Chapter 224
Get Boo
The questions they wanted to ask had been collected and organized to a certain extent, and Olive had
prepared decent and reasonable answers as he pondered, “Where did this reportere from? Who
asked
them to ask these tricky questions?”
Olive’s face fell, pondering. Why didn’t Marie show up? Because I ordered the bodyguards to guard the
door
and not to let her in.
Why did Marie sell thepany to me? Because Darwin stole the official seal for me. With the seal,
this
meant the contract would take effect.
What price did I offer? Darwin helped me in exchange for Sasha’s photos.
Why did the Spence Group acquire JCL? Because our family is now in charge of Spence Group.

What kind of position is Iliana Tuttle in now? She was just a pitiful stray dog who couldn’t even go back
to the
Tuttle family.
How am I supposed to reveal this to the media? If these things were exposed, it would be the end of
me,
including Sabrina, Nataly, and Shirley!>
Shirley and Nataly sat at the side as they watched Olive stay silent. Like how Marie was the backbone
of
Sasha and the others, Shirley and Nataly were now at her disposal.
Olive said nothing as the reporters waited for her with cameras on. Her awkwardness made people feel
there
was a lot of information to dig out.
When everyone was quiet, the door of the venue suddenly burst open. The noise was not loud but
enough to
attract everyone’s attention.
The door was switched open, and the crowd looked back to see which reporter was so unpunctual for
them
to arrive when the press conference was about to end.
After a closer look, they noticed a girl lifting the hem of her skirt as she smiled gracefully. She had
delicate
and perfect facial features. She was none other than the woman they had just mentioned, which was
Marie.
The reporters immediately stood up and rushed towards Marie, bombarding her with questions one
after
another.
“Excuse me, Ms. Spence. Why are youte for such an important acquisition?”
“Does your behavior mean you do not want to sell thepany?”
“What did Olive offer you to agree to?”
“How do you feel about the sudden rtionship between Darwin and Sabrina?”
The reporters chased after Marie anxiously and impatiently to hurl questions at her. Fortunately, Luca
reacted quickly by taking a few bodyguards and the staff to maintain order, allowing the reporters to
return to
their seats

At the press conference, the reporters sat on both sides of the aisle momentarily. Olive sat seductively
on the stage while Marie stood casually below the stage. The two looked at each other, and sparks flew
everywhere
when their eyes met.
Some reporters quickly snapped a photo and captioned, “Former best friends hide malicious intents
behind
smiles. What is the oue of the acquisition?”
At the same time, the press conference was being broadcasted live. Various tforms, such as Twitter,
had
done enough publicity to ensure many viewers. After Marie walked into the venue, the number of
viewers
skyrocketed.
Standing in the middle of the aisle, Marie smiled at Olive on the stage and asked, “The reporters are
asking
you questions, Olive. Maris Entertainment is developing rapidly. Why should I sell you such a good
studio?”
“How much did you offer me before I agreed to sign and seal it? JCL is Iliana’s brand and design. How
did
Shirley and Nataly get involved? Marie asked.
As she spoke, she walked up to Olive on stage with a smile and said, “If you can’t answer these
questions,
why don’t I help you answer them?”
Olive turned her head abruptly and red at Marie The former had a hunch Marie was definitely not
here to
simply sign a contract to sell thepany. She would not be Marie if she did not cause any trouble.
“In any case, what can Marie do to cause trouble? Everything is set in stone now. Even if we had a
falling out,
she can’t win Olive thought.
Olive encouraged herself and cheered inwardly. This game is over. I win!”
Marie sat down slowly and said. “Several reporters asked many questions just now. Since Olive hasn’t
figured
out how to answer for the time being. I’ll exin it to you one by one.”
“First, someone asked me why I sold thepany to Olive, right? I’ll answer every clearly – Maris.
Entertainment did not sell it to Olive Entertainment or the Spence Group Everything is still the same.
The
artists under me are still my artists, and nothing has changed,” Marie answered with a smile.
As soon as she said this, the reporters were stunned. They saw the front page and the seal of the
contract
with their own eyes. It could not be fake.
Besides, it could not be fake when Olive held such a grand press conference to announce it.
Olive, Shirley, and the othersughed. They thought, “Has Marie gone mad? Why did she attend the
press conference to say the contract is fake?”
This was the official seal Darwin had stolen, and the Spence Group’s legal advisor personally drafted
the contract’s terms. It was impossible for it to be fake.
Olive was relieved, sneering inwardly. “Marie was just desperate, after all. She has no real evidence.”
Ignoring the eyes of the people around her, Marie continued, “The second question is, what price did
Olive offer me? Since there is no acquisition, there is naturally no price.”
Olive could not help butugh, thinking Marie was merely spouting nonsense.

“Third question is why did the Spence Group acquire JCL. This is not true and is pure rubbish’ Marie
spoke into the microphone, “Thest one, what position is Iliana in now? She is JCL’s chief designer
and Sasha’s
exclusive stylist. This has never changed ”
After she finished speaking, the reporters sitting below were dumbfounded. Marie’s words were the
truth while the
other was lying. The reporters led around could not tell the difference for a while, let alone know what
to ask.
Marie smiled and said, “If there’s nothing else, don’t write nonsense about today’s news.”
A reporter came to their senses and stood up to ask, “Ms. Spence, what do you mean by saying that
Maris Entertainment has not been acquired?”
“It’s exactly what it sounds.” Marie smiled and said, “That is to say, the so-called acquisition contract in
Olive’s hand is invalid. Maris Entertainment was not sold to anyone.”
Olive sneered and said, “Didn’t you see it clearly, Marie? This contract clearly has Maris
Entertainment’s official seal and your personal seal. How could it be fake?”
Marie smiled and looked at Olive as if she was a fool. Then, she replied, “Because Maris Entertainment
has
never been mine alone!”
Marie took out a contract and showed it in front of the camera. The contract was disyed clearly on
the
projector at the back, which stated the following “The rules for setting up Maris Entertainment Studio
by
Global Medias”.
On thest page, the first party signed Andres’s name paired with Global Medias’ official seal, and the
second party signed Marie’s name and Maris Entertainment’s official seal. Moreover, the signature date
was
actually four years ago.
As soon as the contract came out, everyone was shocked.
The rapidly growing Maris Entertainment in the entertainment industry was actually a subsidiary of
Global
Medias.
Not to mention, the contract was signed four years ago.
In other words, Maris Entertainment was not sold to the Global Medias. Instead, it existed as a
subsidiary of
thepany since its establishment.
Marie said to the microphone, “Now that everyone has seen the contract, Maris Entertainment belongs
to Global Medias. I have no right to sell the studio to any private person orpany unterally. Global
Medias
must approve any contract with Maris Entertainment.”
Olive looked at the contract on the screen and then at Marie. An ominous premonition surged in Olive’s
heart as she red at Marie and asked, “What do you mean by that, Marie?”
Marie smiled and said, “Do you still not understand, Olive? It means no matter how many official seals
and signatures of Maris Entertainment you have on the contract. This contract is invalid as long as you
do not have Global Medias’ official seal and Andres’ signature. Because I’m just an employee, I have
no right to
make any decision to sell the studio.”
