Chapter 370: The Beginning of The Issue
Emani was browsing Twitter at her residence to check the latest news. She was stretching and yawning in the meantime as if she didn’t have a care in the world.
In fact, she was not sick. She had eaten well, slept peacefully, and wasn’t suffering from any ailment. She had asked for leave and abstained from going to the shooting site just to manipulate public opinion.
“Emani, Janet is completely doomed now.”
Emani’s a*s*sistant handed the iPad to her with a smile. A piece of a thin cucumber slice she had kept on her face as a skin care mask fell down. She casually tossed it into her mouth and read the news on the iPad as a smug smile emerged on her face.
“She deserves it!”
The a*s*sistant felt relieved. Seeing Emani wandering in the living room in a sleeveless dress, she advised, “Emani, you better go back to your bedroom. I heard the paparazzi are waiting outside your house. If they see you wandering in the living room, looking agile, they would make a fuss.”
Emani grew vigilant. She immediately picked up her coat and put it on.
“I have no more work for you here. You can go back now. I’ll contact you if something happens. And I don’t think we need to do anything about public opinion on the Internet for now. Just tell everyone that I have a high fever and am hospitalized.” With that, Emani hurried upstairs and returned to her bedroom.
“Great!”
Emani was grinning from ear to ear. She was happy to hear that everyone disliked Janet. She had to thank Ritchie Lester of Lester Silk Fabric for this. Otherwise, a trivial problem like this wouldn’t have blown out of proportion this way. Not long after she met Janet in the jewelry store last time, her contract with the Larson Group expired. She had thought they would renew the contract.
After all, she was now a popular star in the entertainment circle. Many companies wanted to sign her as the spokesperson. Unexpectedly, the Larson Group decided not to renew the contract with her. They gave a vague reason that she was not suitable to be the spokesperson of the Larson Group’s clothing brand.
Emani was upset when she heard it. After all, it was the biggest humiliation of her life. Besides, she had refused to collaborate with other companies, stating she would renew the contract with the Larson Group A popular actress like her was always the target of compet*ition. She didn’t expect the Larson Group wouldn’t want to renew the contract with her. It was no different from kicking her out. After terminating the contract with the Larson Group, Emani listened to her agent’s advice and signed a contract with Lester Silk Fabric.
On the day of signing the contract, Emani saw Ritchie and talked with him. Both of them mentioned Janet. That was when she knew Ritchie also had a grudge against her nemesis. People with the same enemies were likely to become allies. Ritchie and Emani then cooperated in a tacit understanding. Emani had some scruples before.
She had seen the blue diamond ring on Janet’s finger in the shopping mall last time and suspected that Janet had a powerful background. After talking to Ritchie, she learned that Janet’s husband, Ethan, was a member of the Larson family.
Although the Larson family had collapsed, it was customary for them to keep their family heirlooms. Therefore, Emani felt relieved. She had thought that Janet had some special ident*ity or backer to own such precious jewelry as “the Ocean”.
After knowing the truth, her att*itude towards Janet changed into disdain and contempt. Back then, Ritchie had probably figured out what she was thinking. He also implied she could take advantage of her huge fan following to deal with Janet.
That way, she would be safe and cause more damage to Janet’s reputation. In return, Ritchie promised to give her the best resources and make her more famous. Emani thought for a while and agreed. She decided to wait for the right time and opportunity.
After all, the Lester family was powerful. She could make steady profits without losing anything. Emani believed even God was helping her. The other day, she saw Janet from afar when they were filming. Emani came up with a plan and fell into the water, making it seem like Janet had pushed her.
