Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 87: Something worse happened

"Wake up, you f**ker!" Amelia kicked Frank after throwing away her phone.

"Huh...? What happened? Why do you have to be so brutal? I was asleep. Why..." He fell silent when his eyes fell on a Jazmine Harrison with her arms crossed over her chest. "Am I still dreaming?" Frank rubbed his eyes and sat straight. "How did she find out we were here?"

"Why do you care? Just go back to sleep." Amelia was still angry. Only if Frank had woken up earlier, she could have come up with a better excuse on the phone.

"Can I?" Frank gleamed.

"You can if you don't want to wake up again." Amelia threatened. She didn't want to be the one left to give an explanation to Jazmine. Frank was better at this thing. She knew if she tried to explain, she would end up only messing things further.

"Fine." Frank flashed his signature smile at Jazmine Harrison. "Why are you standing outside, Jazmine? Come in. It's very cold out." He generously offered. However, his smile might melt the hearts of countless females, but unfortunately for him, Jazmine was not one of them.

She didn't move.

"Why do I feel scared?" Amelia nudged away from Jazmine.

"Relax. It's just a silent treatment trick she has learned from her grandfather. No need to feel threatened." Though Frank said that in a cheerful voice, he himself was feeling a bit nervous inside. This silent treatment method of the grandfather and daughter pair was surely very effective.

Finally, Jazmine sighed and climbed into the van. "Quick to the fashion show. We don't have much time." She ordered the driver.

"Are you not going to demand an explanation?" Frank cautiously asked.

"I don't need to. I have already guessed what had happened. Just let me give you a reminder. It mustn't happen again." Jazmine gave off an aura of a tyrant. "I might overlook it, but President Crowne might not."

"Why do I feel like you are getting more and more mature and collected?" Amelia smiled widely.

"Don't try to butter me up. I'm not going to give your manager an excuse for your absence this time. You were here because of your own decision. I had nothing to do with that."

Amelia felt cold. How did Jazmine immediately understand her intention? "We were here because we were worried about you," Amelia argued her way back to the fashion show.

Once they arrived, Amelia hurriedly went for her dressing room while Jazmine walked her way to the tenth floor.

Once Jazmine arrived at the floor, she was suddenly surrounded by hushed whispers. She frowned and looked around. People would look at her, whisper behind her back, but once she looked at them, they would shut up and go back to acting as if nothing happened. Now, what is this new drama?

An acquaintance walked to her with a glass. "Ms. Harrison, you look pretty today."

"Thank you, Mr. Alexander." Jazmine accepted the glass. "Can you tell me what is this all about?" Jazmine glanced around, indicating the strange atmosphere.

"I'm surprised you haven't known it yet."

"I was busy last night."

"Do you recall the famous perfume brand that was invited yesterday? They intended to choose their spokesman. It was rumored all across social media that the role would go to Caroline Anderson. Even Caroline had made a post saying that she'd be getting the role for sure. And so it happened. Strangely, they quickly signed the contract with her yesterday after her performance. That was out of the ordinary. Caroline's fans claimed that her performance was fabulous, that she won their hearts. But guess what happened this morning?" Mr. Liu laughed.

"They canceled the contract?" Jazmine's lips twitched.

Sebastian Crowne was vicious. First giving happiness, then brutally taking it away. The amount of despair it would bring would be a thousand times more than simple rejection. Jazmine was sure he would have thought of this scheme. She was aware of the other side of the great 'Devil.'

"What does this all have to do with me? Why are all these people whispering behind my back?"

"That's the exciting part. The perfume brand not only canceled the contract, but it also released a statement saying that it would not accept a 'morally corrupt' celebrity as its spokesman. First, the word 'morally corrupt' implied her incident with you. Caroline's company used all its means and had gotten control of the scandal, stopping it from reaching Hong Kong before the fashion show, but after the statement by the company, the incident is common knowledge everywhere."

...

In a room, all the people were busy attending countless calls.

Caroline Anderson slammed her fists on the table. She looked furious. "Why? They had already agreed to keep me. Why would they change their decision at the last moment?"

"Caroline, don't worry. I doubt it is Amelia or Jazmine's doing. Let me contact our company lawyer. How could they do this? How could they defame you like this? We'll sue them and have them take down their statement immediately. Elizabeth, tell them we won't rest until they take down the statement. We'll also press them to give compensation for causing harm to your reputation. If they don't, we will take legal action."

"Alright, Manager Xin." Elizabeth went to make a call.

"They must know that they can't mess with a model of our company. We'll not sit silently and do nothing." Caroline's manager fixed her glasses and glanced at Caroline.

"Thank you, Manager Grey, for sticking to me at a time like this."

"Don't mention it." Though her manager showed her sincerity to Caroline, she was actually having thoughts of abandoning Caroline.

If not for her strong background, she would have already abandoned Caroline. She was impulsive and had a bad temper. She didn't possess any talent. In fact, her present situation was brought upon herself by her own hands. Someone in this field required a better mind and schemes. Caroline was hard to manage.

"I just called them. They rejected taking down the statement!" Elizabeth announced.

Caroline's manager was truly shocked. She hadn't expected that. "What profit would it bring to them? If they don't take down the statement, it'll only bring them the ire of Caroline's fans and cause them a loss. Why are they adamant about keeping that statement? I can't understand their motives." She couldn't understand. In the end, the only conclusion was that it was either Amelia or Jazmine's doing. "They must have paid something heavily."

Either way, it would take a long time to have the company take down the statement. And Caroline's manager never actually intended to file a case against them. She couldn't get in a legal altercation with them. She just wanted to threaten them. After all, the perfume brand had some connections with that Li Empire name. She wouldn't want to go against that.

"Caroline. It seems there is no other choice."

"What do you mean?"

"I suggest you go abroad for some time while I fix everything here."

"Are you being serious?" Caroline couldn't believe it. Just a moment ago, she was being grateful to her manager, and now she wanted to abandon her? It was funny how people could change their attitude in seconds. "Have you forgotten how much my family has done for this company?"

"I'm just looking out for you." She kept her righteous demeanor.

"You..."

Before they could argue further, one of their workers stumbled in with a very pale face. "M-Manager Grey, something bad happened!"

For Manager Grey, who wanted to discard Caroline and find her escape, something more terrifying awaited.
