Chapter 18 Double Blows
"Mr. Edison announced your breakup, but you said that he wants to marry you?" Reina found it amusing, so she did not hide the smile and scorn she felt for Nancy.
However, Nancy did not argue with Reina, instead, she stated, "He'll marry me sooner or later. Let's make a bet if you don't believe me."
"What should we bet on?"
"Twenty percent of the shares of Wallace Entertainment."
Reina snorted. "You're so greedy. I want to bet with you, but Wallace Entertainment is my aunt's company, not mine. I can't decide on this."
"Doesn't your aunt want you to be a part of the film industry?"
"Yes, she does, but I don't want to. I like being a model more because I just need to walk the runway in beautiful clothes, but being an actress is too tiring. It's very easy to get criticisms if my acting is bad."
While talking, Reina put her arm on Nancy's shoulders to hug her as if they were confiding in each other. "I heard that you accepted a role. Is it the leading actress?
"Yeah."
"Work hard at Wallace Entertainment. My aunt knows that you're my friend, so she'll think of you if there's a good resource."
"Help me to say something nice in front of your aunt then. I'll thank you here."
"You're welcome. Of course, I have to help you with your career since you've lost your man."
However, Nancy hated that statement very much. When did she lose her man?
Edison was just throwing a tantrum. When he had had enough fun, she would go and see Master Yates and coax him well. As long as he gave an order, Edison would beg her to get back together with him.
Hence, she showed no signs of displeasure. She just patted the back of Reina's hand gently. "I'm so honored and lucky to have such a beautiful and loyal friend like you."
Being flattered, Reina grinned happily.
"You talk so nicely. Just behave like this in front of my aunt from now on. She'll like you."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"By the way, will Mr. Yates come tonight?"
"Of course."
She leaned into Reina's ear and whispered briefly. After Reina listened to that, she widened her eyes. "Mr. Yates hired a woman..."
"Keep it low. Don't let others hear you. You're the only one I told." Nancy hurriedly covered Reina's mouth and reminded her softly.
"So, Mr. Yates is just throwing a tantrum, huh?"
Nancy lifted her chin slightly and appeared very arrogant. "Yes, he's angry at me because I turned his proposal down."
"Do you have to pursue your career? Isn't it good to marry him and be a rich young wife?"
"I can't accept it to just marry him like this."
While talking, Estella quickly walked over and whispered in Nancy's ear, "Mr. Yates is here with that Miss Lovelace."
Consequently, Nancy's expression changed drastically because she could not believe what she had heard.
It was fine even if Edison was making a fuss, but it was her birthday, which was a big day for her. He should have done her the favor. However, he brought that woman along. It would be a huge humiliation for her in front of her friends.
The only person who knew the truth was Reina alone except Estella. The other ignorant people would make fun of her.
No.
She could not allow Edison to come in with Gwenyth.
Hence, she got up and pulled Estella to the door with her.
That house belonged to her mother before she passed away, and it was an individual villa that her father bought. It was located in the best area in Zelicon City. Its price was extremely high and she heard that many famous people had properties there.
How could anyone come into her house randomly?
She and Estella went out. They soon saw a black Bentley being parked in the yard. Edison got out of the car while holding Gwenyth's hand.
