"As long as she was happy, even if she did not inherit the Ford Group, so what? In these few years without a person to take over, we can look for a good manager. It would be the same as well. In this world, capable people are supposed to be able to hold their respective positions. Whether it's our own people or someone from the outside, anybody would do as long as the person could make the Ford Group flourish."
Sebastian was rather unbothered with trifle matters.
"I got it, Master Sebastian. I will work harder in this aspect and slowly search for a candidate for you," Kingston said respectfully.
"Alright." Sebastian nodded. While both of them were speaking, the security guards at the other end had already left.
Mila, who was released, rubbed her hands and was at her wit's end. She kept apologizing to Eevonne. Upon apologizing, she looked straight at Yvonne's parents, Vincent and Helena. "Hi...hello."
"You're the one who is hell-bent on marrying my son-in-law, aren't you?" Vincent looked at Mila with annoyance.
Mila swallowed again. "I...I...believe me. I can....I can also take care of you guys as Missus Yates did. I...I'm not asking him to marry me. I...I just want to be friends with him. I just feel that he is a...good person. I just want to be a normal friend to him. I want to start by being a normal friend to him..."
Vincent was speechless. He really did not know what to say. He was already quite old, but he knew that all sectors were highly competitive within their own fields. The entertainment industry was the same as well. It was not easy to survive in that industry.
There were people who said that some celebrities would do certain things to get famous. However, if you were to think about it from another perspective, if you were in the industry, not doing so would make you the odd one out. Even if you were to fight to the death to maintain your own innocence, your name might be dragged through the mud by others as well. The industry itself was messy, to begin with. Who would be able to distinguish the wrong from the right?
The woman in front of him was ugly, a little tired, and disheveled, but Vincent unexpectedly was able to tell a kind of sincerity and longing from her gaze. That gaze made Vincent feel quite heartbroken.
He was having such a thought, but she did not expect that his wife, Helena, also tugged at his clothes and said, "Vincent, forget it. Everybody is having it rough. It’s really not easy for her to make a living. I'm reminded of our daughter when I see her. If our daughter is still alive right now and is also living such a hard life in this world, we'll be feeling terrible. Let her go then. Don't make things difficult for her."
When she heard Vincent and his wife saying that, her tears could not help but stream down her face. She suddenly was unable to hold herself back and she rushed toward Vincent and Helena.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Sabrina, who was nearby, immediately scolded Mila.
Mila suddenly stopped in her tracks. When she looked at Sabrina, her gaze was stunned for a moment, and her lips could not help but call out, "Sa-..."
After that, she immediately changed her words." Missus Ford, hi...hello. Your...your frie-"
She looked around the surroundings and wanted to say something but she did not. She just smiled at Sabrina with an incomparably ingratiating gaze.
Sabrina did not like women who flatter others too much, so she forced herself to endure her discomfort and said to Mila, "It's indeed very tough to be a supporting actress in a movie. You won't be as famous as the main characters, and you won't be as impressive as the main characters. Your pay is very little as well. I can understand all these. You can climb up your career ladder, but you can't go to any lengths to do so. If you're able to go to such lengths in the way you treat such elderly people and affect their lives, I will make it so that you won't be cast in any characters anymore in this city. I'll make it so that you can't work in the entire country, let alone this city."
Sabrina's words were incredibly harsh. She mainly was doing it out of consideration for Yvonne's parents. She did not want Yvonne's parents, who had already lost their daughter, to be harassed by others.
At that moment, Mila's tears suddenly gushed down like a broken dam. She suddenly turned around and ran out while limping.
