Chapter 901
It was then followed by a video of Suzie Cobold threatening the screenwriter of the drama series Forever Love.
"Let me tell you. You have to add more scenes for me no matter what. What do you mean by 'adding scenes will affect the storyline'? "I don't care. You must do it for me. I'll quit if you refuse to do so!
"I want all the second female lead's eye-catching parts to be mine. I shall be the one acting those parts instead of her.
"She's just a second female lead. Why does she need those parts? To steal the limelight from me, the female lead?"
Finally, the last video showed Suzie scolding Colbie Olsen in the washroom.
Suzie folded her arms and glowered at Colbie, her chin slightly lifted. "Colbie Olsen, you bumped into me just now, and all you gotta say is sorry. That's it?" Colbie kept her head down all the time. "I'm sorry, Suzie. I really didn't mean to do that. It was an accident. What do you want me to do?"
"Do you think I'm going to believe you? I think you did it on purpose! What do I want you to do? Hmm... How about drinking the water from the toilet bowl?" Colbie's eyes were full of panic and shock. "No, Suzie, no... Please don't do that to me."
Sneering heartlessly, Suzie put her left feet on the sink and pointed at her crotch. "You don't want to drink sewage water. Sure. Crawl through here then, and I'll forgive you. If you don't make a decision right now, I'll go to find Chief Clementine and ask her to turn down all your work schedules. You know my current position. It would be easy peasy for me to get rid of you."
Tears coursed down Colbie's cheeks unchecked. Having no other choice, she sank to the floor and crawled through the gap between Suzie's legs in despair.
Suzie then lifted her leg and kicked Colbie onto the floor relentlessly.
The video ended right there.
The post had four million likes, shares, and comments.
Everyone in the comment section was dumbfounded.
"??? What the f*ck??? I can't believe Suzie Cobold is such a cruel person! Am I the only one who thinks she deserves to be boycotted?"
"??? Holysh*t! This is mind-blowing! She looks pure and adorable but her personality s*cks!"
"I think Georgie Clementine has given up on Suzie because of her terrible attitude instead of the other stupid reasons."
"Same here. I'm not the only one who senses something evil and foul, right? I bet Suzie still holds a grudge against Georgie Clementine. That's why she's trying to smear Georgie and her company!" "That woman is wicked!!! There's no better choice than kicking her out of the entertainment industry."
The shoe was now on the other foot!
Immediately afterward, X Entertainment posted another statement, which clearly stated the causes and effects of Georgie boycotting Suzie.
The company also denied everything that Suzie had posted earlier, saying they were just her extreme approaches to take revenge on the company.
Other than that, the X Entertainment official page declared that they would take legal action against Suzie to ensure justice was served.
As soon as the post was uploaded, the comment section below exploded with excitement.
"Sorry! I must be blind to be Suzie Cobold's fan. She deserves all the punishment. Georgie Clementine is doing the right thing!"
"I trust X Entertainment because the video has already told the truth. Suzie Cobold must die!"
"She's the one who ruins her life, yet she's trying to seek revenge and frame the other artists! This girl is vicious!"

Chapter 902
"@SuzieCobold, do you crave death? I'm Colbie Olsen's fan, and I've liked her for a long time. I'm a peaceful soul who hates quarrels. Congratulations on being the first artist I curse in my whole life." "I had always thought Suzie Cobold was an innocent and kind little bunny, but I was wrong. She's nothing but a wicked, awful, sinister demon!"
"The first thing I'm going to ask every morning from now on: Is Suzie Cobold dead? @GeorgieClementine, I'm so sorry, Chief Clementine! I'm sorry too, X Entertainment's big boss!"
"My sincere apologies to all the artists who Suzie Cobold had framed! I'm blind. Suzie should be kicked out of the entertainment industry! Please sue her until she goes bankrupt, X Entertainment!" At the same time, Suzie Cobold's fan club was officially dismissed. Her loyal fans and her new fans had all announced that they were no longer interested in her.
There was a drastic change in the trending list too.
The first hot topic was #Suzie Cobold Please Get Out Of The Entertainment Industry#HOT!
The second hot topic was #X Entertainment's Official Announcement#HOT!
The third hot topic was #Is Suzie Cobold Dead Today?#HOT!
Later, all the artists Suzie had framed started to share X Entertainment's post with Josh Batton taking the lead.
"Josh Batton: Do I have to accept backdoor deals to get to where I am today? Am I crazy? Do I have to worry about my job?"
"Jay Corben: Wake up, Suzie Cobold. Stop spreading rumors. Do I look like I care about these backdoor deals?"
"Morty Wayne: X Entertainment is a big family full of love and care. There are no such things as backdoor deals in our company. Don't trust the rumors, and don't spread the rumors. Thank you very much." "Dave Wilkins: I don't need backdoor deals. I'm good enough."
"Aubrey Quinn: Chief Clementine offered me some backdoor deals and had group sex with the big boss and artists? Wow! Is your brain alright, Suzie?"
"Charlotte White: Emm... @SuzieCobold, I don't even want to waste my time scolding you. You know how terrible you are."
One by one, the group of hottest stars in X Entertainment posted on Weibo to stand up for their company. The matter had instantly attracted worldwide attention. There and then, the trending list changed again.
The first hot topic was #Suzie Cobold Please Get Out Of The Entertainment Industry#HOT!
The second hot topic was #Josh Batton: Do I Have To Worry About My Job?#HOT!
The third hot topic was #Jay Corben: Do I Look Like I Care About These Backdoor Deals?#BREAKING!
The fourth hot topic was #Dave Wilkins: I Don't Need Backdoor Deals. I'm Good Enough#BREAKING!
The fifth hot topic was #Morty Wayne: There Are No Such Things As Backdoor Deals In Our Company#BREAKING!
The sixth hot topic was #Aubrey Quinn: Is Your Brain Alright, Suzie?#BREAKING!
The seventh hot topic was #Charlotte White: You Know How Terrible You Are#BREAKING!
The eighth hot topic was #Pity Colbie Olsen#BREAKING!
In addition to clarifying themselves, the artists had also taken this opportunity to gain more fans.
A group of netizens claimed that they were a bunch of new fans appearing in each artist's hot topic.
On the contrary, Suzie's Weibo account was in its dark days.
Insults, curses, rage, and hatred poured into her account.
As Georgie Clementine looked at the netizens' dramatic reactions to the sudden plot twist, her soft lips gradually curved upwards into a satisfactory smile. Speaking of which, she had to thank Suzie for this.
If she had not started this war, those artists would not have gained so many new fans in just a few seconds.
On top of that, her shameful behavior had indirectly enhanced the drama series's popularity, Forever Love, and its female lead Colbie Olsen.
Georgie exited Weibo contentedly and called Colbie. "Colbie, I'll send something to you later. Post it on your Weibo, okay? Take this opportunity to gain some fans."
"Noted, Chief Clementine," Colbie answered softly and obediently.
Hanging up the phone, Georgie tapped on the WeChat app and opened her chatbox with Colbie. She pondered for a few seconds before typing, "Let the past be the past. Stop scolding her. Let's move on together."
Georgie's smile widened as she reread the text message.

These words were enough to prove Colbie Olsen's good character to the public...
Once this was sent out, Colbie would definitely gain a lot of fans.
After writing it, Georgie Clementine sent the message over to Colbie.
Colbie replied with an 'OK' emoji within seconds.

At the same time, somewhere else in a bedroom decorated in the Hello Kitty theme, Suzie Cobold, who was the center of this storm, slowly awakened in her bed.
She still had no idea about what was happening out there.
The first thing she did was stretch her body. After that, in a good mood, she picked up her phone.
As she looked at the black phone screen, a smile appeared on her face. She started mumbling to herself.
"What rumor should I come up with today? I'll do as Mr. Brown said. I'll drag a few of X Entertainment's currently popular artists down by saying that, in Georgie Clementine's... List of people she slept with, their names were on it too."
With that, Suzie started laughing loudly.
She was even happier when she thought about how criticisms of Georgie were probably still criculating in Weibo.
Suzie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She then unlocked her phone and opened Weibo.
Once she was on Weibo, the first thing she saw was the list of trending topics.
When she saw the topics on Weibo's list, she was thoroughly dumbfounded. The smile on her face froze completely...
Instantly, her facial expression turned gloomy!
At this moment, she felt as if she had been dealt with a fatal blow!
Everything turned dark before her eyes!
"What? What's going on?" Suzie tried her best to take a closer look. After that, she closed her eyes and rubbed them repeatedly before opening them again...
No matter how she looked at it, the things she saw were still the same.
"What's going on? Am I in a dream?" Suzie subconsciously pinched her inner thigh.
The pain she felt made her believe that this was all real, and it was not a dream.
At this moment, Suzie felt as if she had been pushed off the peak of the mountain, falling to the bottom of a cliff...
The fall shattered her body into pieces.
The next second, Suzie's heart started beating wildly, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears.
After taking a deep breath, Suzie summoned the courage to tap on the full list of trending topics.
Various topics appeared on the list, and these were all like knives stabbing into her eyes. Reading these topics made her eyes hurt.
She tapped on the first topic.
What came into sight was all sorts of posts by marketing accounts relating to X Entertainment's announcement and proof of Suzie being a diva, as well as videos of her being unprofessional. Suzie mustered the courage to tap on one of the videos.
She was all too familiar with the contents of the video.
These were all things she had done before.
The only thing was, she never expected X Entertainment to possess such videos of her.
If she had known this was the case, she wouldn't have dared to behave so daringly.
At this moment, Suzie felt as if she was having an emotional breakdown...
An endless feeling of fear spread in her heart. It felt as if a beast with a large, bloody mouth was tearing through her flesh.
By the end of the video, Suzie's face had turned pale, and her pupils were dilated. She couldn't focus anymore.
Suzie frantically gulped several times as she trembled and continued sliding her finger across the phone screen.

Chapter 904
Immediately after that, various screenshots of artists dissing her on Weibo, led by Josh Batton, also began to appear.
In the next second, a frenzy of abusive comments from netizens came into sight.
"[Suzie Cobold, will you just go to hell already? Hurry up and leave the entertainment industry."
"I have never expected her to be a deceptive person like this. I must have been blind to have liked a b*tch like Suzie Cobold. Leave the entertainment industry!"
"This woman really is shameless to the extreme. If I were her, I would kill myself after seeing all this."
"Suzie Cobold, you should hurry up and kill yourself to atone."
"From today onward, Suzie Cobold will probably be receiving a lot of attorney letters to the point that her hands will turn numb. This is good news."
"Not only will she receive a lot of attorney letters, but she will also have to pay a lot of money until she goes bankrupt, right? Everyone she's defamed before will come knocking on her door for money." "Suzie Cobold, I suggest you slit your wrist right now! People like you don't deserve to live."
Every word that came into sight was like a blade that repeatedly cut through Suzie's fragile nerves, except there was no blood.
Very soon, those words turned into voices by her ears and started resonating within her ears.
Suzie felt as if she really was going mad...
She immediately covered her head with one hand while she used her other to tap on the 'return' button.
Her phone screen soon displayed her homepage...
At this moment, Suzie saw that there were over 9,999 unread messages in her inbox...
She tapped on the notification panel to check it out.
These were all private messages.
Each of the messages contained vile criticism.
"Suzie Cobold, go to hell."
"Suzie Cobold, hurry up and die already."
"Suzie Cobold, a b*tch like you don't deserve to live."
"Suze Cobold, you're born a sl*t."
Suddenly, all sorts of vulgar words turned into sounds of people speaking into her ears, and these voices echoed wildly in her ears.
Suzie felt as if someone had dragged her into an endless pit of hell. At one glance, everything was dark around her.
"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! This shouldn't have happened, not like this!" Suzie shouted frantically. After that, she raised her hand and threw her phone onto the bed.
The phone fell onto the floor, bouncing on it before sliding over to one side of the bed.
All kinds of filthy words were still echoing in her ears, and they didn't stop for one second.
Suzie bit on her lip fiercely as she covered her ears hard and tried to block out those noises. However, nothing helped...
Finally, she could only hide in the corner of the bed with a frightful expression on her face. She hugged her knees and repeatedly shook her head as she murmured to herself. "No... It shouldn't be like this. Why did this happen?
"Things should have gone according to my plan. Why didn't it? God, why aren't you on my side?
"No... Not like this. It shouldn't be like this. No... I refuse to accept this..." Suzie knew her life was over.
Now, with Georgie Clementine messing things up, her reputation was considered completely destroyed.
It was impossible for her ever to set foot in the entertainment industry again.
Not only that, but she would have to repay other people huge sums of money.
Meanwhile, such huge amounts of money might cause her to lose all the wealth she had accumulated during her time in the entertainment industry...
In the end, she would have nothing left.
Chapter 905
Chapter 905
Suzie Cobold would have to start all over again in life where she was penniless.
How could she accept this?
After entering the entertainment industry and earning a lot of money, she began to live a life surrounded by nothing but luxury. Purchases of luxury purses felt like purchases of daily groceries...
If she had to return to regular days that were filled with hardship, like those she had lived in the past, how could she bear it?
No, Suzie absolutely would not allow that to happen.
Right then, she thought of Mr. Brown.
Perhaps, she could still be rescued...
Suzie immediately called Mr. Brown on his phone.
As soon as Mr. Brown picked up, she cut to the chase. "Mr. Brown... You've probably seen what happened to me. Because of your suggestion, not only will I not be able to work in the entertainment industry anymore, but I will even have to pay back large sums of money. Can't you help me out by paying those people off on the basis that we spent a few nights together?"
Mr. Brown snorted coldly. "Pay those people off for you? Who do you think you are? Why should I pay for your problems? Do you think you're made of gold? Was sleeping with you for a few nights even worth that much money?
"If you want money, I haven't got a single cent for you..." Mr. Brown sounded extremely cold.
His words pierced through her heart like a forceful stake.
When Suzie heard these things, she felt even worse. "Mr. Brown, I did all this for you..." She said.
"Don't make it sound so nice. You only did it for your reputation and benefit... Get lost," Mr. Brown uttered.
Since her softer approach wasn't working, Suzie tried using a tougher approach. "If you must do this, I will throw you under the bus too... When the time comes, Sun-N-Shine Entertainment will definitely be boycotted by everyone..." She said.
"In the public's eye, you're now the world's biggest liar. Do you think people would believe you for things said without any proof?
"Also, I have all the information I need about your family. If you don't want your father, mother, and little brother to die in an accident, you'd better not do anything stupid..." Mr. Brown said.
Suzie instantly became speechless. She felt as if she had been completely devoured by fear.
Very soon, Mr. Brown hung up the phone.
Beep, beep, beep, beep-
The cold sound of the phone being hung up triggered a sense of hopelessness at the bottom of her heart.
On top of that, she had nothing to prove what she mentioned.
Even if she had proof, she wouldn't dare do anything after hearing Mr. Brown's threat.
Mr. Brown had a terrifying background.
If he wanted to kill a few people off, it was definitely as easy as snapping his fingers.
A strong sense of hatred began to develop in her heart...
Suzie had never met anyone more shameless than Mr. Brown!
At this point, Mr. Brown's way was no longer feasible...
Suzie could only place her hope on Georgie Clementine.
If she could convince Georgie to forgive her, everything would be much easier to deal with...
Suzie picked up her phone again and dialed Georgie's number...
Meanwhile, Georgie had just finished washing up. She was humming a song while looking at her reflection through a large mirror above the sink, applying a wax-based, plum-flavored mask onto her face. When she saw an incoming call from Suzie, she frowned slightly. Without hesitation, she answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker.
"What's up?" Georgie asked calmly as she continued applying her face mask while looking into the mirror.
Soon, Suzie started to cry.
Georgie frowned yet again, but she didn't say anything.
"Ms. Clementine, can you let me off the hook, please? I won't ever dare to do it again..." Suzie said after a few seconds.
Georgie snorted coldly with her brows raised. "Let you off the hook? Did you think of letting those innocent people off the hook and me while you did those harmful deeds?" Georgie asked.
Chapter 906
Chapter 906
Georgie Clemetine's words left Suzie Cobold feeling dumbfounded.
Suzie remained silent for a few seconds before trying to speak again. "I know I was wrong. I really get it now. Please, I'm begging you. Let me go. Tell the company and those artists not to make me pay them money.
"Now, my reputation is ruined, and I can't possibly work in the entertainment industry anymore... Without my reputation, I can't afford not to have money. If I don't have money, how am I supposed to live?" By the end of her speech, Suzie started crying at the top of her lungs.
Georgie calmly closed the lid of her face mask container. After that, she washed her hands and pulled her hair back into a half-bun. "If you knew this was going to happen, why did you do all those things?" Georgie didn't feel affected by Suzie's pleas at all.
After all, she was no saint. She wouldn't forget what her enemies did to her just because they begged and cried to her.
"Ms. Georgie, as long as you forgive, I'll do anything you say... Even if you want me to work as your slave," Suzie added.
Suzie knew that, at this point, Mr. Brown couldn't save her anymore.
When Georgie heard what Suzie said, she raised her brows again. She put her face mask container on the shelf where she kept her skincare products. "Oh?" Georgie said.
There still wasn't any clear emotion in Georgie's eyes. That's because everything was under her control.
"It's true... Ms. Georgie, I'm begging you..." Suzie said.
"I heard Mr. Brown was also involved this time, wasn't he?" Georgie asked.
Suzie was stunned when she heard this...
She didn't think Georgie actually knew so much.
Suzie immediately became speechless.
When she thought about the things Mr. Brown had said earlier, she took a deep breath. "No... No, he wasn't."
Georgie had expected Suzie to deny it.
Mr. Brown probably threatened her prior to this...
"As long as you tell me the truth and make everything public, I can make sure you won't have to pay other people money... Also, I'll deal with Mr. Brown for you. He won't be able to threaten you at all," Georgie added.
Georgie's words left Suzie feeling confused again.
She felt as if Georgie could read minds. It was as if Georgie knew what everybody was thinking.
Suzie shook her head again. "No, it's true..."
Mr. Brown was a very powerful person. Suzie didn't dare take any risks.
"Well then... Let's deal with things as we should. Suzie, don't blame me for being cruel," Georgie said.
After that, Georgie mercilessly hung up the phone.
She knew that Suzie would come to her sooner or later.
All Georgie needed to do was wait patiently.
Georgie picked up her phone and dialed Xyla Quest's number right away-
Meanwhile, Xyla was having sex with Stanley Batton.
Beep, beep, beep-
The sound of Xyla's phone ringing disrupted their moment of intimacy.
Xyla reached for her phone with a familiar gesture and glanced at it.
When she saw that the call was from Georgie, she instantly pushed against Stanley's chest with a single hand as she picked up the call with her other hand. "Georgie..." Xyla said.
"President Xyla, have you seen the list of trending topics? The matter has been completely resolved. Suzie is thoroughly finished now," Georgie said.
"I haven't seen it yet. I'm glad it's all sorted out." Xyla felt happy. At this moment, she felt as if she could finally get rid of some pent-up feelings she had kept in her heart for a long while.
"Earlier, she also called and begged me, just as I thought she would... I also told her my request... The thing is, she refused. But it's fine. She would come begging again sooner or later. Moreover, she would reveal all of Mr. Brown's dirty secrets. When the time comes, everyone would surely boycott Sun-N-Shine Entertainment..." Georgie said.
Chapter 907
Chapter 907
"Mr. Brown will surely reap what he sowed," Georgie Clementine said.
Xyla Quest sneered. "If things go as I expect, Suzie will come looking for you within two days..."
"That's without a doubt. Well, I shan't bother you anymore. I'll put on my makeup and get to work," Georgie said.
"Okay," Xyla said.
After hanging up, Xyla sat up. She blushed as she looked at the handsome man beside her who was smoking. "Sorry about that..."
Stanley Batton took a long puff at his cigarette before exhaling slowly. He gently rubbed her head. "It's fine. We can continue after you're done with work..." With that, Stanley picked up his phone and opened Weibo's list of trending topics. He began slowly reading through it without any emotion in his eyes.
Embarrassed, Xyla started to blush, and her heartbeat went wild again.
She instantly took a deep breath and opened Weibo's list of trending topics.
The spectacular scene that came into sight put a pretty smile on Xyla's face...
She immediately opened each topic and skimmed through it.
After that, she closed Weibo with a satisfied look on her face before turning to look at Stanley.
Noticing that he was also looking at the list of trending topics, Xyla immediately moved closer and leaned her head against his shoulder. "It's finally resolved..."
Stanley slowly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. He then extended his arm around Xyla's shoulders. "Are you done reading?"
Xyla nodded slightly. "Yeah..."
In the next second, Stanley started doing whatever he wanted with Xyla again.
The temperature in the room gradually increased to what it was before.
***
Meanwhile, in a villa called Peace Park by the other side of the beach, Henry Armstrong sat in a white-and-blue checkered, simple European-style dining room. He was having breakfast his maid had prepared while he read about Suzie on Weibo.
The more he read, the more he admired and loved Georgie.
"She's terribly excellent..." Henry murmured to himself, subconsciously smiling as he did so.
After briefly going through what was on Weibo, Henry called his personal assistant, Jin Gustav, on his phone. "Put the word out that, from now on, whoever provides work for Suzie Cobold, be it in the entertainment or business industry, that person would be going against me..." Henry said.
With that, Henry hung up the phone directly and continued to eat his breakfast leisurely.
The distinctive black and white parts of his peach-shaped eyes glistened as he smiled.
***
When Georgie arrived at the office, the pretty receptionist carefully greeted her. "Ms. Clementine..."
Georgie immediately looked at the receptionist before adjusting her dark blue formal attire. She then walked over to the pretty receptionist. "What's the matter?"
"This Chanel purse... Mr. Armstrong refused to take it back." The pretty receptionist carefully handed over a large package to Georgie. "We didn't have a choice. We've tried sending it over twice, and it was rejected on both occasions..."
Georgie nodded before tapping on the package gently as she dialed Henry's number.
When Henry saw Georgie's incoming call, he instantly picked up with a deep smile on his face. "Honey... Do you miss me?" he asked.
"Who's your honey? Henry Armstrong... What do you want? Why did you refuse to accept the package I've sent to you twice?" Georgie asked.
"Are you so keen to return the stuff to me?" Henry continued grinning cheekily.
"Yes..." Georgie said.
"I'll give you an address. You'll have to personally deliver it to me... If you don't do it personally, I won't accept it..." Henry said.
Chapter 908
Chapter 908
Georgie Clementine was speechless.
"I'll be waiting for you... I'm now at Clear Blue Sky Villa, Block One, in Peace Park, Gold Coast Beach Resort. I'll inform the security. You'll only have to bring your identity card along when you enter the neighborhood," Henry Armstrong said.
Soon after that, Henry hung up the phone.
Georgie frowned helplessly before picking up the large package with one hand and walking out the door directly.
She got into her black Mercedes-Benz and drove to the place Henry mentioned right away.
This location had one of the best views of the beach. The entire neighborhood was surrounded by three-story, European-style villas.
This neighborhood was only separated from the ocean by a single road. From the entrance, one could see nothing but the clear sea and blue skies.
A single glance of this view was enough to make one feel at ease.
After showing the security guard her identity card, Georgie slowly drove into the neighborhood.
The greenery was very well-landscaped in the neighborhood.
As soon as Georgie entered, she could see a large area of greenery that immediately made her feel relaxed. Henry's villa was located near the entrance. She was able to find it as soon as she entered the neighborhood. Georgie quickly drove over to his villa.
After parking her car, she picked up the large package and slowly got out of the car.
When she looked up, she saw Henry holding a bottle of alcohol while leaning lazily against the white railing on the balcony. He was looking down at her. Henry was wearing white, loose, silk-made clothes with excellent fabric that glistened under the sun. It made him look even more noble and impressive. "Hey... The password is your birthday... You can enter the password and come in directly..." Henry said.
When Georgie heard this, she frowned slightly.
In her mind, she thought about how tactful this move was, and it certainly deserved to be credited to an expert in the affairs of love and romance. However, Georgie was not touched.
She calmly glanced at Henry before entering the password and walking into the villa.
Georgie casually retrieved a pair of white slippers from the shoe rack and changed into them. She then walked into the living room before looking around. The blue-and-white tones of European-minimalist design in the villa were to her liking.
When Georgie found the coffee table, she quickly put the package on it before turning around and preparing to leave.
Right then, Henry, with his arms crossed, leisurely walked down the stairs.
"Wait for a second..." He said.
Georgie stopped walking and turned around to look at him. "What else do you want?" She asked.
Henry smiled as he stepped forward. "It's getting late. Why don't you stay here and have lunch with me before you leave?"
"I won't. You can eat on your own. Thank you for the kind gesture..." Georgie said plainly.
With that, Georgie started walking out the door...
Henry reached out and pulled her back to him before using one hand to pinch her chin. "If you don't eat with me, I'll not accept the purse..." He said. Georgie frowned slightly before pushing his hand away. "You..."
"What about me?" Henry asked.
"Mr. Armstrong, you're somewhat a respectable man in Atlantis. Can you not be this unreasonable? I really am not interested in you. Please go after someone else, will you? Also, I'm begging you to please remove that advertisement you are proposing on that screen... Stop wasting your money on me," Georgie said.
"That simply won't do... I want nobody but you... Although you aren't interested in me, I'm extremely interested in you. What's the matter? Spending money on you isn't a waste. It's simply what I should do..." Henry said.
Georgie was speechless.
"What's the matter? You aren't even married to me yet. Are you trying to save money on my behalf already? Hmm? Honey?" Henry teased.
When Georgie heard him addressing her like that, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him instantly. "Who's your honey? Can you be a little more respectful?"
"I used to address you like this all the time. You called me 'honey', too," Henry said.
"As you said, that's in the past. I did that because I didn't know that person was you... After finding out the truth, my dream was shattered, and I no longer feel like behaving that way..." Georgie said.
Chapter 909
Chapter 909
When Henry Armstrong heard this, he immediately pinched his forehead and looked at Georgie Clementine seriously. "No... My feelings for you are real, Georgie. Can you give me a chance?" he asked. Henry had never regretted his playful past. However, after meeting this woman in front of him, he started to feel remorseful.
If only he had a good reputation, Georgie wouldn't avoid him like this.
Henry thought that perhaps this really was karma.
In the past, he was told that whatever debt he owed to someone else, he would, sooner or later, be made to repay it to someone else.
Henry never believed in stuff like this before, but now he truly believed so.
Perhaps, he had owed other people too much emotionally. That was why he ended up meeting Georgie.
Georgie was the one who would make him pay on behalf of everyone else...
He had a lot of ways to deal with anyone else. However, with Georgie, he was helpless.
There wasn't a woman in Atlantis who wouldn't treat Henry with respect and adoration when they saw him.
However, Georgie was different, and that was what Henry liked about her.
"No..." Georgie said firmly. Her decision was not to be challenged.
Since Georgie didn't like Henry, she wanted to make it clear. She didn't want to give Henry any false hope.
This had always been her principle.
Henry was speechless.
"Honestly, stop messing around. We're all very busy. I've got to go. Mr. Armstrong, thank you for the purse. Please don't give me anything else in the future... Also, remember to get rid of your confession on the screen..." Georgie said.
However, Henry grabbed Georgie's hand. "If you don't accompany me for a meal, I'll send the purse back to you again..."
Georgie felt as if a piece of sticky candy was stuck to her body.
She let out a long, helpless sigh. "Deal... I'll eat with you. After the meal, you'll let me go, and you won't return this purse to me again. You're not allowed to give me anything else, too... If you promise me that, I'll eat with you..." Georgie said.
Henry bared his hands. "Okay... We'll talk after the meal..."
Georgie looked down at her watch.
It was indeed already close to noon.
She hadn't had breakfast, and she was also feeling a little hungry now.
Georgie pushed his hands away. "What are we eating?"
"What do you want to eat?" Henry asked.
"I'm fine with anything..." Georgie said.
"There's a nice western restaurant nearby. I'll take you there..." Henry said.
"Alright..." Georgie said.
When Henry heard this, he immediately smiled joyfully. "In that case, sit here and wait for a while. I'll get changed, and we can go," he said.
Georgie nodded gently.
After that, Henry walked hastily up the stairs.
***
Because of Georgie, Henry purposefully entered the closet to dress up.
He put on a white, casual shirt, a pair of dark brown, ankle-length jeans, and a pair of white sneakers.
His short, thick hair was blow-dried neatly with a three to seven parting.
After making sure everything looked perfect, Henry leisurely walked downstairs while whistling.

When Henry Armstrong finally came down, he saw Georgie Clementine sitting on the couch, flipping through a financial magazine.
Georgie heard him whistling, and she immediately stood up and turned to look at him. "Let's go..." She said.
With that, she led their way out of the door.
Henry quickly followed her with a beaming smile on his face.
After stepping outside, Georgie directly got into her black Mercedes-Benz.
When Henry saw this, he naturally got into her car from the other side. With one leg crossed over the other, he leisurely put on his seatbelt. "Turn left after the exit, in one hundred meters, head north. You'll see 'The Meet Western Restaurant'..." Henry said.
Georgie didn't respond to him. Instead, she sped up.
Her other hand rested lazily against her jaw, with her elbow against the glass window.
Rays of warm sunlight poured into the car and danced against her face, making her appear pretty and attractive.
Seeing her beautiful face from the side made Henry's heart run wild.
Before her, there was never any woman who made him feel this way.
"So beautiful..." Henry couldn't resist complimenting. His smile was barely visible, and the distinctive black and white parts of his peach-shaped eyes glistened with approval. Georgie glanced at him briefly. "Can you stop staring at me?"
"I can't..." Henry said.
Georgie was speechless.
"With such a pretty face as yours, wouldn't it be a waste for me not to look at it?" Henry said.
Georgie remained silent.
"Honey, you're the definition of beauty for me," Henry added.
Georgie couldn't help but frown again. "I said, stop calling me 'honey'..."
"Honey..." Henry said.
Georgie was again speechless.
Georgie thought to herself that this man next to her was the most thick-skinned person she had ever met.
He was also the best at flirting with women.
"Honey, have you been to this restaurant before?" Henry asked.
Georgie's frown deepened as she glared at him warningly. "Henry! Have you had enough? Can you stop calling me honey?" Georgie asked.
"Fine," Henry said.
After taking a deep breath, Georgie simply ignored Henry. She stepped on the gas pedal and drove until they were in front of The Meet Western Restaurant. They were just in time for lunch.
At this time, all the parking spots were taken...
At one glance, these cars were all luxury cars worth up to a million dollars each.
After looking around, Georgie soon found a parking spot. She then skillfully reverse-parked her car...
The way she did it was extremely cool, and the entire process took no longer than a few seconds.
Once the car was parked, Henry got out of the car first. He then walked over to Georgie's side and opened the door for her. After that, he leaned forward slightly and extended his hand to her. "Let's go, darling..."
Henry had stopped calling Georgie his honey.
However, he started calling her his darling...
Georgie couldn't resist rolling her eyes at him. After that, she angrily slapped his palm away before getting out of the car.
Closing the door behind her, Georgie looked at Henry unhappily. "You're not allowed to call me your darling either," she warned. "Yes, Missus..." Henry said.
Georgie was rendered speechless.
Hold on a second. Why did Georgie feel as if she was punching against cotton?
"Henry Armstrong!" Georgie's facial expression turned serious.
Henry became serious as well. He stood upright. "Yes..."
When Georgie saw how Henry behaved, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Missus, has anyone ever told you that you look gorgeous when you laugh?" Henry asked.
