Chapter 53
“You’re just trying to toy with me, aren’t you? I’m going to call right now and find out what’s going on with your company’s management! Are they not giving me any respect at all?” The man on the other end of the walkie-talkie shouted angrily.
Obviously, the man who’s speaking is the investor in this deal.
Sure enough, not long after, Georgia received a call from one of the company’s executives.
As soon as the call was connected, the other party started yelling insults at me, demanding to know what Georgia actually wanted to do.
“The company has tolerated you for far too long. Every celebrity goes through the same thing. Is Simone Milton from your family somehow special? I’m leaving my words here today: You must meet with these investors, whether you like it or not!”
After angrily cursing Georgia, the executive hung up the phone with a sense of satisfaction.
Georgia was so angry that her nose almost twisted. She really disliked this executive when they were at the company.
Within the company, it’s one thing to constantly trip him up and Simone Milton as well. But he’s not incapable of enduring such things.
But this guy really seems to have no common sense at all. Every time, he only spouts some empty generalities, and always brings up the company as an example.
Especially since this executive, who got this position by leveraging certain internal connections, is reportedly also involved in prostitution activities behind the scenes. That’s truly disgusting.
These days, the other party isn’t even satisfied with that anymore. They’ve started meddling in Simone Milton’s affairs as well. It’s simply unacceptable.
But if I were to tell the chairman about this matter, I’m afraid he wouldn’t take it seriously.
After all, even though Simone Milton is quite popular these days, her popularity still isn’t as high as Katie Adams’.
When they had the opportunity to exploit the hype, they chose to stay calm and steady instead. As a result, much of the fake traffic was eliminated.
These days, Simone Milton’s popularity is barely lower than that of Katie Adams.
The company’s chairman would never waste his energy on such a minor celebrity. That’s exactly why that executive feels so confident.
“Is this how we’re going to settle things?” Marian snapped back, annoyed by the executive’s condescending tone.
“What else can I do?” Simone Milton finally spoke those words. She sighed and said to Marian and Georgia, “I have no idea what awaits me once I go in. Just in case, please let Ayen know.”
She believed that if Nick Arthur found out, he would definitely come rushing over right away. As long as Nick Arthur arrived, she would feel completely at ease.
“That’s the only option left now! I hope Mr. Arthur is reliable and can get here as quickly as possible!” Georgia sighed helplessly, with a serious expression on her face. She patted Simone Milton on the shoulder.
“Sister Simone, you really need to be careful…” Marian said. Seeing that Simone Milton was about to leave, she instinctively grabbed Simone’s hand.
It seemed like she wanted to stay and try to stop them. Several times, she almost couldn’t hold back and wanted to take Simone Milton with her and run away. But in the end, she forced herself to back off.
That executive, along with the investors waiting inside the fancy club, were clearly trying to get rid of Simone Milton.
If Simone Milton doesn’t show up, I’m afraid those people will find some excuse to cause trouble again. Who knows what kind of mess they’ll create this time.
No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to let go.
Seeing Marian’s concern, Simone Milton sighed and rubbed Marian’s cheeks with her hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself!”
After saying that, Simone Milton took a deep breath before slowly stepping inside.
“Where’s the private room I have a reservation for? Could you show me the way?” Simone Milton asked the doorman beside her.
The doorman nodded and respectfully led Simone Milton to Suite 302. He then knocked on the door of the suite.
When the door opened, Simone Milton saw a group of overweight investors sitting inside.
Most investors are surrounded by two or three female entertainers whose names they can’t even recall.
And sitting in the middle was a fat man who seemed to weigh two or three hundred pounds, yet no one approached him.
The fat man sitting in the middle was clearly a nouveau riche. Not only did he wear a thick gold necklace around his neck, but his ten fingers were also covered with gemstone rings.
“Oh, so this is Miss Milton, whom we’ve been trying to get here for so long?” The fat man narrowed his eyes and tapped the seat next to him, signaling Simone Milton to sit down.
Simone Milton took a deep breath before stepping inside.
“I thought I was here to discuss work matters, but it seems like that’s not the case with you all?” Simone Milton frowned, clearly displeased.
“Of course, we’re here to discuss business. Everyone here is here for that purpose! But between discussions, we all like to add a little fun to the atmosphere…” The investor sitting on the left, who seemed a bit thinner, laughed heartily at Simone Milton’s words.
“If that’s what you mean, then I suppose I can leave now…” Simone Milton said, getting up to leave this place that made her feel uncomfortable.
To be honest, when her suspicions turned out to be true, Simone Milton wasn’t as disgusted as she had imagined.
There’s even a sense of: Ah, it’s finally here!
Strictly speaking, if the original protagonist hadn’t had Juliet Milton’s backing, they wouldn’t have encountered such a scene in the past at all.
And Simone Milton herself, before she became famous in her previous life, was forced to attend several such gatherings.
Since she had developed a tolerance for alcohol in her past life, those guys simply couldn’t take advantage of her in any way.
But this time is different. The original owner didn’t have much tolerance for alcohol to begin with, which further weakened her ability to drink.
Absolutely must not stay here any longer.
After quickly analyzing the current situation, she spoke while walking steadily toward the back of the door.
Unfortunately, though her idea was good, the other young artists in the room weren’t willing to accept it. After all, they were all more or less the same. Why shouldn’t they be able to escape, while she could?
And think about it: Even a popular star like Simone Milton has to serve the same people as these others. It’s definitely a good deal in every way.
So, a fairly free-time-loving female artist casually blocked Simone Milton’s path.
“Miss Milton, you’ve come this far, so why pretend to be innocent anymore?” the actress said with a smile. “Isn’t serving one person the same as serving many people?”
Obviously, she believed that the relationship between Simone Milton and Nick Arthur wasn’t at all what the public thought it was.
It’s just that the two of them are wearing a “love mask” to deceive everyone else.
“Who’s like you? Are you trying to force things upon us now? If you keep behaving like this, I’ll call the police!” Simone Milton glared angrily at the others, no longer afraid at all.
If it comes to it, let’s just destroy everything together.
Simone Milton sneered and threatened, “It doesn’t really matter to me. But as for you investors, if this gets out of hand, not only will your reputations be damaged, but it’ll also be difficult for you to keep a peaceful life at home, won’t it?”
