Chapter 53


    Chapter 53


    Josie turned back and took a look. It was Reba.


    “Long time no see,” Josie said in a polite tone,


    Madelyn rolled her eyes and said, “Isn’t this Miss Vixen?”


    Reba snorted, walked to Madelyn, lifted her chin, and replied, “Please call me little vixen. It’s a sign


    of respect for me.”


    Hearing that, Josie wanted tough. “Long time no see,” she said again.


    “What do you mean long time no see? I just met you a few days ago, okay? Reba looked at Josie


    with disdain. “Look at that weak face of yours. I wonder who’s the blind guy that gave you that one


    extra vote.”


    Josie did not say anything in response. She and Reba had a grudge against each other. The root of


    this hatred came from an informal vote in college.


    Both Josie and Reba ran for the campus belle.


    ording to Madelyn, she and Reba were on par with each other. However, at that crucial moment,


    someone gave another one of their votes to Josie. Hence, Reba lost and became the ss belle


    while Josie was the campus belle.


    “Do you know how to speak nicely! If you don’t, please stay away from us. Madelyn pushed Reba


    aside and sandwiched herself between Reba and Josie, fearing that Reba’s coquettish act


    would get to them.


    “Are you


    still in Stripes Entertainment?” On the other hand, Josie was not disgusted by Reba. She felt that


    thetter was not as bad as she had seemed and was just rude.


    “You’ve been an artist under an unknown film and televisionpany for many years, yet you’re still


    not popr.” Madelyn rolled her eyes and sized Reba up. “There’s no need for you to wear


    sunsses and a mask. No one knows you.”


    “Madelyn, do you know why you have been single until now?” The atmosphere became hostile as


    Madelyn and Reba stared at one another.


    The war between women was often silent but terrifying.


    Josie shrugged. At that moment, all she wanted to do was get away from this situation.


    Tm working in Clusia Media Group. Would you like me to introduce you to ourpany?” Madelyn


    asked with a smug


    look.


    Reba’s face contorted with rage. “You’re at Clusia Media Group? Is thepany blind? Which


    program of theirs would need you as a reporter!”


    “Well, I’m sorry. Entertainment reporters, also known as p p a r a z z i, specialize in gathering gossip


    from all kinds of celebrities. However… Madelyn sized Reba up again and added, “You’re not a hot


    topic. It’s not worth it for me to dig


    You!


    “Why don’t you two fight over there for a while beforeing in?” Josie asked awkwardly.


    She was feeling somewhat cold.


    The weather was cold since it was the end of autumn, yet Madelyn insisted that Josie wear a dress.


    Thetter had long legs, so the dress could only cover two-thirds of her thighs. Moreover, the dress had


    a low neckline too.


    “Who wants to fight with her?” Reba snorted and walked to josie. “To be honest, I almost didn’t


    recognize youst week. Why do you look so sick and tired now? Is this the current trend for beauty


    standards?”


    Chapter 58


    “You saw mest week?” Josie asked in surprise.


    Reba answered, “Well, did you go to Union Entertainment for an interview? I have a project with the


    company. I overheard their human resource department manager saying that you’ve offended Mrs.


    Gibson of Gibson Corporation. Ashley, that little bitc h, gave them a call on purpose.


    Josie froze momentarily, stopped in her tracks, and thought, “Ashley got someone to follow me?”


    Josie’s expression darkened, and she clenched her fists tighter, Union Entertainment had nothing to do


    with Gibson Corporation. She was wondering how Henry could do so much. It turned out that Ashley


    was the one behind all that.


    “What’s wrong with that bitc h? Madelyn’s voice was shrill. “Jo, did you submit so many resumes


    because of what Ashley did!”


    Reba was confused. “When did you offend that little bit h?”


    Those who were working in the same industry were enemies. Reba was an actress who considered


    herself talented. Thus, it was natural for her to look down on Ashley, who had many resources.


    “It’s a long story… Josie said through gritted teeth.


    Ashley was indeed always provoking her.


    “Well, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Just wait till I sn a t c h some of her resources. I’ll avenge


    you.” Reba looked like she was ready to stand up for Josie.


    Madelyn rolled her eyes and replied, “You? Let’s talk about this when you leave that ravenous


    company.


    “Don’t look down on me. I’m telling you, Ashley has been busy looking for someone to inquire about the


    CEO of Clusia Media Group. She’s determined to act in the new film produced by Clusia Media Group,


    which is a huge production. This is agood opportunity for her to gain both fame and wealth. I heard that


    the boss behind Clusia Media Group doesn’t care about someone with many resources as long as they


    are good at acting. With my acting skills, I can definitely win over her, okay?” Reba responded with


    confidence.


    Josie nced at Reba and sighed. “You don’t understand the horror of capital.”


    “You’re right. I heard Henry spent a lot just to let Ashley be the main character. He had already invested


    50%. Reba was disappointed.


    Josie’s heart filled with sadness and then, sheughed sarcastically.


    However, she wasughing at herself.


    Josie had nothing to fight about with Ashley.


    The favored would always be fearless. Josie could notpete with Ashley at all.


    “I can’t believe she’s a two-faced little b i t c h. She came and knelt before usst night but yed dirty


    tricks behind our backs.


    A b i t c h will always be a hypocrite!” Madelyn muttered in anger and held Josie’s arm as she felt sorry


    for thetter.


    Did you guys hear? Those who are married will bring their families tonight, and the rest are singles.”


    “Why such a difference?”


    “In order to let our ssmates find someone within ourselves. Those who had a crush on someone


    back then can know if their crushes are still single. This ss reunion is giving everyone an opportunity.


    It’s up to them to take it.”


    In the banquet hall, there were already several tables of old ssmates chatting.


    “Hugh, are you working at Gibson Corporation? Is Henrying? I have had a crush on him for many


    years, someonemented jokingly.


    Chapter 30


    “Hahaha! Give it up! Can you be more beautiful than Ashley?”


    “Ashley is really something. She is beautiful and popr, and her husband is Henry. No one would dare


    mess with her


    Josie sat quietly on the round table beside them. There was no one at that table, except for Josie,


    Madelyn, and Reba.


    Reba was a carefree person, so she did not find out why. After all the other tables were full, she


    muttered in a low voice. “Am I that scary: Why isn anyoneing to our table?”


    “They may be afraid of me…” Josie said helplessly.


    Only then did Reba hear people at other tables talking.


    “Have you guys heard that Josie and Henry fought for the Gibson family’s property? She yed dirty


    tricks and offended Henty. Whoever sits at the same table as she is unlucky”


    “I heard that Ezra worked hard and finally has that position, but because he had a meal with Josie and


    with just a word from Henry, Ezra almost lost his job.”


    “The power of capital is horrifying.


    Josie sat on the chair and slowly clenched her fists.


    To what extent was Henry going to force Josie?


    Josie!” Seeing that Josie was about to leave, Reba reached out to stop her. “Why did you mess with


    Henry? I remember that he’s your older brother. Is it really like what they said? Did you fight over the


    family’s property with Henry?”


    “B u l ls h i t!” Madelyn wanted to argue with those people. However, Josie said that she had signed a


    confidentiality agreement, which meant no one could know about Josie and Henry’s marriage.


    However, who was the one who spread the rumor?


    Could Henry be that childish!


    “Maddy, sit down.” Josie grabbed Madelyn, and with tears in her eyes, she asked thetter to sit down.


    “Henry is here!”


    “Henry is here?”


    “Really? He never attended any of our ss reunions. How could he possiblye?”


    The quiet banquet hall instantly burst into a frenzy. Everyone was more excited than meeting a


    celebrity because it was rare for Henry, an elite, toe to a ss reunion with old ssmates.


    Ezra was right. Their ss reunion was a gathering of resources. Everyone gathered for a mutual


    value.


    “It’s Ashley! Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I’m seeing her in person. Henry brought her here!”


    “He dotes on her!”


    “Pift! What’s the big deal? She’s just someone who relies on a man. I don’t care,” Reba said while


    rolling her eyes.


    “Aren’t you afraid of offending Henry?” Josie sat back with cold fingers. Why should she leave? Why


    should she be afraid of Henry and Ashley?


    Reba snorted. ‘I’m not afraid of anyour since I’m already in this situation.”


    “Mr. Gibson! Mr. Gibson! Come and have a seat at our table. There’s space here.”


    Chapter 53


    “Come here instead, Mr. Gibson.”


    Some of them fawned over the wealthy and wanted


    to sit at their table.


    Henry nced at Josie, who was sitting at the table in the corner. He then walked straight over to her.


    Let’s change our table. Jo… Seeing Henry walking over with Ashley, Madelyn pulled Josie up angrily.


    Josie was shivering slightly as she only wore a dress.


    Henry’s eyes were fixated on Josie, and his expression gradually darkened.


    It was Henry’s first time seeing Josie dressed like that in all these years.


    The dress is so short. Who does she want to seduce? Henry questioned inwardly.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
