Zephir poured himself a cup of tea.
Nollace interlocked his fingers. “She deliberately brought up your relationship with Daisie in front of me. intending to sow discord between Daisie and me. I bet she’s doing so because of you, right?”
Zephir paused for a bit but did not utter a single word.
“You dated her because she looks like Daisie, so you took her in as a substitute. She now holds a grudge against you, and in order to retaliate against you, she got herself into Tenet on purpose, wanted Charlie to take her under him, and even exploited Daisie’s fame for her own marketing.
“All these actions seem very provocative, so no matter if she’s trying to provoke you or Daisie, there must always be a reason behind her actions.”
Zephir put down the teapot and looked up. “What exactly do you want?”
Nollace scoffed. “Daisie is now pregnant, so I don’t want her to be dragged into this mess. Besides, this is a matter between you and her. You’re the one who let the demon into the house, so shouldn’t you be the one who cleans this mess up?”
Nollace had already seen through everything.
‘It’s obvious that Roxy is doing so because of Zephir.
Zephir dumped her, and she’s not reconciled to being Daisie’s substitute by Zephir and getting dumped in the end. She’s a woman who has a handful of ulterior motives, so would she let this go so easily?
“However, this is a matter between them. I won’t stand idly by the side when Daisie, who’s innocent, gets dragged into the center of this turmoil.’
After Nollace left, Zephir called Roxy. “What did you tell Nollace Knowles before this?”
On the other end of the call, Roxy froze.
This questioning tone… Could it be that he’s told him about our little conversation!?’
She bit her lip. “What else can I say? I’m only giving him the truth. Did you just call me to question me? Zephir Gosling, just how heartless can you be?”
“Roxy Van Damme, I’m warning you for the very last time. You’d better not get Daisie involved in our affairs.”
“Since when did I get her involved? I only got myself into Tenet, and that’s it. What’s the matter? Does this upset you?” Roxy scoffed. “Zephir, I told you that you won’t get to dump me so easily. If you really worry that I might do something that harms Daisie, I would marry me if I were you.”
Zephir’s expression turned gloomy. “You want me to marry you? You’re nowhere near worthy of my hand.”
He then hung up the phone.
Roxy was so exasperated that she threw her phone on the bed.
‘I’m not worthy of you? Hmph! Sooner or later, you’ll be forced to marry me even if you don’t want to do so!
In the chairman’s office of Tenet…
Jaylon Fuhrmann, the company’s chairman, summoned Roland into his office and asked him to explain. his decision to bring Roxy to the banquet the previous night.
Roland bit the bullet and explained, “Jaylon, I’m also doing so for the company’s sake. You see, Roxy has risen to fame so quickly recently. If we can make her even more popular, it won’t harm our company.”
Jaylon threw the magazine at him abruptly. “Read for yourself.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Roland picked up the magazine, and what the magazine said was that he had taken Roxy to the banquet and publicly tried to promote his niece to all the bigshots present in order to win her more resources in the industry.
Roland was astounded. “This…”
“A niece?” Jaylon glared at him. “Why didn’t I know that you have a niece?”
“Jaylon, she’s actually… The niece of one of our distant relatives.”
“I don’t care who she is. Roland, since you’ve persuaded us to recruit her into Tenet, any events that she should and can attend, including banquets, are arranged by the company. She is only a newbie in the industry, yet you brought her to such an occasion and even promoted her so openly? Have you lost your mind?
“And this is not even the biggest t*rd that you brought back from the banquet! You actually offended Freyja Pruitt because of Roxy? Do you know who she is? She’s the second daughter-in-law of the Goldmanns, Daisie’s sister-in-law!
“That niece of yours, you want her to act in Director Winslow’s latest project? Just who do you think she is? An actress who’s won some newcomer award?”
Jaylon took a deep breath and warned him. “I don’t care how much you and your business partners want Roxy to rise to popularity, but Nollace has spoken. She’s no longer allowed to use Daisie’s reputation for marketing her debut. Lastly, if you do anything else that will drag Tenet’s reputation through the mud ever again, don’t blame me for not treating you like a brother-in-law.
