"Indeed, he's young," Jade remarked. "But despite his age, he's capable. When the company began, Mr. Thompson
had nothing but money. Besides the Hamertons' support, Mr. Chriss played a vital role in building Sol Entertainment
step by step. With a solid foundation, the subsidiary companies grew rapidly."
"So, Mr. Chriss deserves credit." Lena smiled. "Because of that, did the directors overlook his affair?"
Jade playfully nudged her. "Come on, enough of that!"
"I know," Lena whispered. "I'm just teasing you. I wouldn't discuss this with outsiders."
Jade's eyes twinkled with hidden meaning as she said, "What I mean is, Mr. Chriss' relationship with Jacqueline isn't
clear!"
"Huh?"
Lena was taken aback.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn reality, she had considered this. Jacqueline seemed the least likely mistress she had ever seen. What kind of
secretive, pampered mistress led such a difficult life, working hard?
It appeared she had only heard one side of the story, one that suggested Jacqueline was willingly doing what she
did.
Lena flashed a subtle smile. Maybe Mr. Chriss was such a remarkable man that all women were willing to strive for
him!
Jacqueline had secretly tried to meet with Renee a few times.
However, Renee lately had been distracted by Toph's cold attitude, even when Jacqueline shared so much about
Lena.
Jacqueline noticed and immediately stopped talking, realizing she looked terrible.
But Renee asked, "Why did you stop?"
"Oh..." Jacqueline glanced around before suggesting with a smile, "Shall I order another cup of decaffeinated coffee
for you, Ms. Renee? It tastes just as good as regular coffee but won't affect your sleep."
"Decaffeinated..." Renee repeated a few times.
How could decaffeinated coffee be considered coffee? People loved coffee because it woke them up, right?
Renee couldn't help but chuckle at how absurd that notion was. The same principle applied to people. Without the
right genes, one was destined for a mediocre life.
Did Toph now look down on her and reject her, too?
Renee bit her lip, her fists clenched so tightly that they almost crushed her coffee mug.
Seeing Renee like this, Jacqueline dared not say more. Instead, she instinctively lifted the tablecloth. If Renee
suddenly smashed the mug, maybe the tablecloth would contain the mess.
"M-Ms. Renee," she stammered, frightened. "What's wrong?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm fine," Renee tried to calm herself. She scrutinized Jacqueline briefly before asking carefully, "How have things
been with Mr. Chriss lately?"
"I..."
"What did you do to win him over?"
Jacqueline panicked. What did she have?
All she had was one secret: you can achieve anything if you're shameless.
"Ms. Renee..." She forced a plastic smile. Just as she was about to deflect the question, she noticed a woman
approaching from a short distance away. The woman appeared furious.
Jacqueline's expression turned from fear to sheer alarm. Her head started to ring, and she bolted from her seat.
However, the cafe was located inside the Thompson Group building, with an open design surrounded by only plants.
Jacqueline was clumsy and guilty. She accidentally knocked over a potted plant, drawing the woman's attention.
"Stay right there!"
