“Okay, you should go to school now. Today is your first day of school. You can’t be late.” After Shadow finished speaking, she reminded him, as if she had just thought of something, “Don’t cause any trouble.”
“When have I ever caused trouble?” Alpha Dominic’s face was filled with dissatisfaction.
Hadn’t he caused enough trouble?
However, Shadow didn’t say much to him. She simply advised him to leave quickly.
Alpha Dominic quickly stuffed the money into his bag. Then, his expression turned serious. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” It was rare for Shadow to see Alpha Dominic look so serious. She was a little curious.
“If possible, you should try your best to divorce my cousin. He is not a good person.” After Alpha Dominic finished, he added, “I’m telling you the truth, not because I want you to be my girlfriend.”
If Alpha Dominic hadn’t added the second part of his sentence, Shadow would almost believe him.
She glared at Alpha Dominic. “Don’t talk nonsense. If you don’t leave, I will call your cousin.”
“Alright, I’ll leave now.” He took a few steps and then turned back to her, still looking serious. “I’m serious about this.”
Shadow made a phone call gesture. He shrugged and ran out of sight.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Alpha Dominic was still very young. He didn’t understand many things, but he was right about one thing. Alpha Kilian was indeed not a good person.
When Shadow returned, she ran into Jessica again.
Jessica didn’t have a pleasant expression when she saw Shadow.
However, when she noticed Shadow’s clothes, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Recently, Shadow had been wearing simple and plain clothes while working at the Eden Group. She didn’t look like a wealthy young lady at all.
Although the clothes she was wearing that day looked ordinary and simple, they were from famous brands. The design and tailoring of the clothes were top-notch.
Who had bought these clothes for her? Alpha Dominic?
Naomi crossed her arms and looked down at Shadow from the corner of her eyes. “I heard from my dad that you couldn’t convince Alpha Kilian to help the Eden Group?”
“Yes, that’s right. How could I persuade Alpha Kilian? Why don’t you give it a try then?” Shadow had been in a bad mood all weekend because of Alpha Kilian. She didn’t have time to play games with Jessica.
“Fine. Do you think I’m afraid?” Jessica snorted arrogantly and left in a huff.
Shadow felt that what Hazel said was accurate. Jessica was a spoiled princess and no one could change her mind.
First, she tried to seduce “Alpha Dominic.” When she failed, she now wanted to seduce Alpha Kilian. Even though Shadow knew that “Alpha Dominic” was Alpha Kilian, Jessica didn’t know that.
Did she truly believe that all the men in the world would fall for her?
Did she really think that her charm could conquer anyone?
She was truly hopeless.
Shadow sneered. Jessica wanted to seduce Alpha Kilian? She was afraid that Alpha Kilian wouldn’t even want to see Jessica.
…
At Nine Clouds Media.
When Alpha Kilian arrived at the company and entered his office, Xavier followed behind him.
“I heard you asked Frank to bring your clothes to Golden Fountain club on Saturday night?” Xavier smiled, as if he had figured out everything.
Alpha Kilian’s face darkened at the mention of Saturday night.
“Don’t you have better things to do?” Alpha Kilian looked up from the stack of documents.
Xavier had a bad feeling about this. “No, I don’t.”
Alpha Kilian was about to ignore him. He turned on the computer and a piece of news caught his eye.
The headline was attention-grabbing. [Wealthy man from the entertainment industry spotted bringing two women to luxurious club for overnight stay.]
Alpha Kilian clicked on the news and quickly read the article.
After finishing it, he smirked. “You’re in trouble.”
“What is it?” Xavier moved closer and saw the huge headline. It was a picture of him entering the club with two women.
It was nighttime, but the entertainment reporters had managed to capture the picture clearly. The two women followed him closely. From the angle of the photos, it looked intimate.
“The entertainment reporters are making up stories! I was just taking two Golden Fountain employees out that night for something. One of them was a bit unsteady, so I offered help!”
Xavier was furious, ready to explode.
“Fine.” Alpha Kilian didn’t bother to mention that Hazel might have seen the news.
After Xavier finished venting, he suddenly remembered something. He cursed and took out his phone to call Hazel.
Hazel picked up the phone quickly. Xavier was a bit surprised that she had answered so readily.
But as soon as Hazel spoke, he heard her furious voice. “You shameless man! Why are you calling me? To boast about how you can handle more than two women? I hope you suffer a quick death! Go to hell! Get lost! Don’t call me again, it makes me sick!”
And with that, she hung up immediately.
“Hazel, keep scolding! Why did you hang up on me?” Xavier panicked. Under normal circumstances, Hazel wouldn’t even answer his calls. And when she did, she wouldn’t be in a good mood. But this time, she seemed really angry.
Although he called again, Hazel didn’t answer.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is busy.”
“Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off.”
“Sorry, the number you dialed does not exist.”
Xavier was out of options.
Had Hazel put his number on her blocklist again?
It had taken him a lot of effort to convince her to remove his number from the blocklist last time. And now, because of one news article, she had blocked his number again?
“Damn it!”
Xavier no longer had the mood to mock Alpha Kilian. He stormed out of the office and told his secretary, “Arrange a meeting with the Public Relations Department.”
If he found out who was behind this news, that person would be dead.
…
Shadow suddenly received a call from Hazel.
Hazel had been busy promoting her new movie, and they hadn’t been in contact much lately.
Hearing from Hazel now surprised Shadow. She thought Hazel might be coming back.
But when she answered the call, she heard Hazel’s frantic voice. “Xavier is a scumbag, a beast, a jerk, an asshole, a spineless coward!”
Shadow rubbed her numb ears in shock. Her face was filled with confusion. “What did he do?”
“Didn’t you see the news? He took two girls to a club and spent the whole night there. Tell me, why did he bring those two girls?”
Shadow listened as she scrolled through the web page, opening the popular entertainment news. Sure enough, she saw the photos of Xavier entering the club with two girls, prominently displayed on the banner. The popularity of the article was still rising.
Shadow also recognized that the photos were taken at the entrance of Golden Fountain Club. In the pictures, Xavier and the two girls looked quite close.
