Chapter 79 How About Making A Gamble

At 9:00 pm, Gwen and Judy arrived at the party.

brought along close friends to join in the fun.

Gwen wore an elegant satin gown. Its sleek, emerald–green fabric was flawless, with not a wrinkle in sight. The dress perfectly accentuated her curves, and despite not wearing any jewelry on her delicate collarbone, she still exuded an air of luxury.

Her beauty was striking, and she became the center of attention when she stepped into the hall.

People murmured in awe about how Universal Entertainment’s editor–in–chief had invited Simon’s rumored flame to accompany her, but out of respect for the company’s influence, no one dared approach. recklessly.

Judy maintained her usual frosty demeanor throughout the event, offering stiff but polite responses to those who toasted her. Meanwhile, Gwen expertly helped her navigate the social scene.

“With you here, I can tolerate these events for a bit longer. Normally, I just show up for a photo and leave,” Judy remarked.

Gwen’s red lips curved into a soft smile. “I’m honored to be favored by you.

Joseph, the CEO of Swed Entertainment, made his way over as the two were chatting.

He had a prominent belly, and despite being dressed in a suit, his short stature gave him the awkward look of a child wearing adult clothes

“Ms. Lambert, is this Gwen, who’s been trending lately?” Joseph raised his champagne in a mock salute before downing it in one gulp.

Judy’s demeanor toward Joseph was far colder than with others. She narrowed her eyes in obvious displeasure while saying, “Can’t you see properly?”

Swed Entertainment had recently poached several key employees from Universal Entertainment through shady tactics, leading to a few security breaches. Naturally, Judy wasn’t feeling too friendly toward Joseph.

But Joseph just smiled, acting like it was nothing. “I get it. You’ve been under a lot of stress lately, but you might want to keep a closer eye on your staff, or I’ll end up poaching them all.”

Judy didn’t back down. “Go ahead. Anyone you can poach is someone I was planning to let go anyway. You’re doing me a favor.”

The implication was clear that Joseph was picking up the trash Judy didn’t want. He didn’t seem too bothered by her insult, though. He turned to Gwen with a sly smile.

“There are rumors Simon was already in touch with you during your marriage. Care to comment on that, Ms. Lawson? How about doing an exclusive interview? Joseph offered.

Joseph was currently battling Universal Entertainment for resources and in the process of securing investments.

Though his company was leagues apart from Universal Entertainment, he knew how to create noise and spin stories to make Swed Entertainment seem more formidable than they were. The more outrageous the rumors, the better it was.

Until now, no one had dared to ask Gwen such a question directly, but the moment Joseph spoke, eyes

“Joseph!” Judy’s expression grew even colder, a rare flash of anger appearing on her usually composed

face.

Stealing her employees was one thing as she could always train new talent. But dragging her friend through the mud with malicious gossip? That crossed a line.

“Are you tired of living?” Judy asked seriously. If she wanted to, Swed Entertainment would be bankrupt within days.

However, Joseph didn’t seem phased. “Ms. Lambert, you’re doing just fine. Why would I be scared?”

Gwen took a step forward and calmly approached Joseph. “Mr. White, right? How about we make a bet?”

Joseph’s interest was piqued. “Oh? I’m listening.”

“If you win, I’ll give you an exclusive interview. And if you lose…” Gwen’s eyes flicked over Joseph’s ill- fitting suit. She crossed her arms as she lightly tapped her finger on her arm. “You’ll strip down and leave the party in your underwear. How does that sound?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Joseph’s smile grew colder, though he held his temper. He knew Gwen was mocking his appearance, al sore spot for him. But the thought of scoring an exclusive scoop on Simon’s rumored relationship with Gwen was too tempting. The potential boost in investor confidence made it worth the risk.

“Fine, Ms. Lawson. Just make sure you keep your word, Joseph agreed.

Gwen glanced around at the crowd that had gathered closer with a sarcastic smile on her lips. “Don’t worry. With so many witnesses, the only concern is whether you’ll be too shy to strip.”

“What’s the bet?” Joseph asked.

Gwen’s eyes drifted to a nearby card table, and she said casually, “We’ll play dice and bet on the roll.”

Joseph nearly laughed aloud. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

Before entering the entertainment business, Joseph was a small–time hustler at casinos. Gambling made him his first fortune, which allowed him to start Swed Entertainment.

A woman, especially one from the entertainment world, wouldn’t stand a chance against him in a dice game.
