The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2681

At the hotel, Roxy learned that Charlie had refused to sign her and teased him for being stubborn and pedantic. “No wonder all the artists under him are only in the A-tier, and none of them is a big hit. If he were to choose to take me in, I’d surely make him as much fortune as Daisie did when she was still a thing in showbiz. Is his brain made out of wood? If not, how is he so rigid?”

‘I only went onto a show the last time, and my fan base has already grown by the millions on Twitter. If I can keep the heat going, coupled with the resources that Roland is going to provide me with, how can I not become even more popular?

‘When Daisie stages a comeback to showbiz, the industry will have long become mine to own.

‘Doesn’t Zephir always regard me as Daisie’s substitute? Sooner or later, Daisie will be the one who’s wearing the title of a substitute. And I’ll be even more popular than Daisie.’

When Nollace returned to Taylorton, he saw Daisie sitting on the couch watching a show, and Roxy just so happened to be in the show.

He picked up the tablet. “What are you watching?”

Daisie raised her head. “I must say, she does look a little like me.”

Nollace turned the video off, placed the tablet on the table, and then sat down. “She might look like you, but she’ll never be as good as you.”

Daisie smiled. “Where have you been?”

“I went to see Charlie.”

“You’ve gone to see Mr. Johnson?”

He nodded. “Tenet’s partners want to direct their resources at that woman, and they asked Charlie to take her under him, but Charlie refused to do so.”

Daisie lowered her gaze. “Actually, my contract with Tenet is about to expire, and I’ll leave the agency when the time comes. Tenet will eventually get more newbies under them, so it doesn’t matter much to me if they want to provide her with more resources.”

‘Besides, the agency allowed her to make her debut with the title of “Daisie Jr.”. That’s just another ordinary marketing method.’

Nollace leaned forward and held her hand. “Do you know who she is?”

Daisie was puzzled, and Nollace explained unhurriedly, “I looked into her for a bit, only to find out that she’s been with Zephir for a long time.”

“Zephir?” Daisie was surprised and instantly remembered what Leah had told her.

‘I know that Zephir does currently have a date, but his girlfriend is actually Roxy? So, is that why Leah is disappointed in him? Is it because he’s found a woman that looks just like me?’

Noliace caressed Daisie’s cheek with his palm. “I’m quite mad at him.”

She whispered, “What’s there to be mad about?”

“He has not given up on you and even found himself a substitute. And that substitute has now not only made her way into the entertainment industry but has also gotten into Tenet. She even wants Charlie to take over her career. I really didn’t expect that from him.”

Nollace’s eyes looked cold.

‘Everyone should know that she’s doing all these because she’s trying to imitate Daisie. If that’s not blatant enough, what else is? She’s done everything so flamboyantly that it’s obvious that all she wants is to take Daisie’s place in the industry.

‘Otherwise, since there are so many entertainment agencies in Bassburgh, why would she choose to work with Tenet? And what else would she want from Charlie?

‘This is undoubtedly an act of provocation. Daisie might not care about it, but I absolutely won’t allow anyone to make a debut with the popularity that my wife has accumulated over the years and even go to the extent of stepping on her tail to do so.”

Daisie hugged him. “Nollace, I know that you’re worried about me, but there’s only one Daisie Vanderbilt in the entertainment industry, isn’t there? What I fear most is not being replaced, but not being recognized by others.”

Nollace stroked her hair and chuckled. “I only recognize you as the one and only Daisie Vanderbilt.”

‘As for that woman, I’ll surely meet her personally after this.’

Freyja and Donny attended a dinner banquet, which was attended by all sorts of people from showbiz. Donny also knew several major directors from Zlokova.

In addition to the directors, there were also quite a few seasoned artists, and Donny introduced Freyja to all of them during the banquet. They were very polite to her when they learned that Freyja was already a very successful screenwriter at such a young age and that Donny thought so highly of her.

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2682

Helios was grabbing a drink with someone else. When he saw Freyja standing amongst several directors, he walked toward the group of people. “So, you’re here with Director Winslow.”

All the directors were momentarily stunned.

‘Helios Boucher actually knows her!?’

Freyja nodded. “It’s nice to see you here, Uncle Helios.”

Donny greeted Helios with a smile, “Mr. Boucher, it’s been such a long time. I really didn’t expect you and my screenwriter to be acquaintances.”

Helios proposed a toast with Donny. “I haven’t seen you since our last collaboration. I heard you came to Zlokova to prepare for your new movie. I didn’t expect her to be your screenwriter.”

“She’s Professor Merlin’s favorite student, and Mr. Lancell introduced her to me. Not to mention that her script is quite to my liking.

Donny had always been known as the “Godfather of Thrillers” in the industry and always loved shooting suspense dramas and movies.

And once he started a project, he must ensure that it was shot to perfection-he would never allow any room for flaws.

Helios smiled and nodded. “This kid is indeed excellent. I’ve heard a lot about her too.”

Just as they were chatting, a female artist who looked somewhat similar to Daisie appeared in the crowd. She was the rookie who had risen to fame popular in the industry recently.

Roland was the one who brought her here. He could be regarded as one of the largest capitalists in Zlokovian showbiz and had worked with many directors.

Roxy walked right next to Roland conscientiously, without giving off any intimate interaction with Roland throughout the whole time, and others were following them around.

She was very clear that many bigshots in the entertainment industry would gather on this occasion, so she attended this banquet with Roland. Naturally, with Roland’s connections, she would never have to worry about her future in the entertainment industry.

Freyja saw Roxy at this time and was a little taken aback as millions of thoughts flashed across her mind.

She only returned to her senses when two female artists started discussing Roxy in a corner not far away from her. “She seems to be the new artist that Tenet recruited not long ago.”

“Daisie is pregnant and has taken a temporary hiatus from the industry, and her contract with Tenet is about to expire too. So, by recruiting a newbie who resembles Daisie and allowing her to make her debut with the title ‘Daisie Jr.’ now, isn’t it obvious that the agency only plans to make a fortune out of her?”

Artists like them knew their way around the marketing methods and routines that agencies tended to use.

Freyja frowned.

Soori, Roland arrived at the table where Freyja was, and several directors who were close to him greeted him. “Mr. Goldwin, why are you the one who’s in charge of bringing a newbie here?”

Roland chuckled calmly. “Oh, she’s the niece of one of my distant relatives. She has just stepped into the entertainment industry, so I’ve brought her out here to take a look around and get to know more people.”

The directors saw through that cheap trick but chose not to say anything about it. Such household

relationships existed in all corners of the circle, and it was already a common thing to see from time to time.

Roland looked at Donny and stepped forward with a smile. “You must be Mr. Donny Winslow. Oh my, I’ve heard so much about you. But I didn’t really expect to meet you here today.”

Donny nodded in response, and his attitude was considered courteous.

Helios swayed the wine glass in his hand. “Mr. Goldwin, your distant relative’s niece looks somewhat similar to my goddaughter, Daisie. The title ‘Daisie Jr.’ does suit her well, huh?”

Obviously, what he said had some connotations, and everyone present could feel the embarrassment that Roland and Roxy felt.

In fact, everybody knew what Tenet had done with Roxy. It was just that no one had the guts to make any comment about the matter.

However, Helios was probably the only one in the industry who would dare to show his disapproval. After all, the relationship between the Bouchers and the Goldmanns was impossibly close.

Everyone present thought that Roxy would avoid arousing suspicion and change the subject, but she was proud of the trait instead. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Boucher. It’s my honor to get associated with Ms. Vanderbilt.”

Everyone’s expressions looked meaningful. Even Roland could not help but feel anxious about what she had just said and hurriedly explained on her behalf, “Mr. Boucher, please don’t mind her. She just doesn’t know what’s the appropriate thing to say.”

Helios drank the wine slowly. “It’s okay. I’m very pleased that my goddaughter has such an influence in showbiz.”

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2683

Anyone who had a brain knew what Helios was trying to say.

‘Roxy is able to make a debut using Daisie’s fame. Doesn’t this mean that Daisie really has a lot of influence in the industry?’

Roxy only understood the undertone of what he had said after a while, and she tightened her grip on the wine glass.

‘If Daisie didn’t have such a background as the daughter of the Goldmanns, how could she climb to where she is today?

‘If I also had the same background, would I even need to be here listening to all these cynical remarks that are being thrown at me?

‘God is just so unfair. Some people are destined to start at the peak of a mountain when they’re born. They don’t have to fight for what they want, and all they need to do is to reach out, and they’ll get what they want at once.’

“By the way, Mr. Winslow, I heard that you’re planning to start shooting a movie and are still casting actors and actresses?”

After hearing Roland’s question, everyone saw through his thoughts instantly.

‘He would actually go to this extent just to get his relative’s niece some resources?’

Donny put his wine glass down on the table. “Indeed.”

Roland immediately asked with a smile, “Then can you see if there’s any role that suits Roxy? Perhaps you can give her a chance at the tryout?”

Donny asked, “Has she been in any movies before this?”

This question stumped Roland. “No, she’s still a rookie in the industry. That’s why I want her to hone her skills. I don’t mind if it’s just an insignificant character that will only appear in a few shots.”

Before Donny could say anything, Freyja had already spoken. “Would she be willing to play an NPC?”

Roland was stunned for a moment. “A what? NPC?”

Freyja smirked. “Oh, it’s short for non-player characters, for example, a dead body or a bartender in the movie. She’ll get a few shots, but not too many of them.”

How could Roxy accept the role willingly after hearing that she would be cast to play a corpse?

“I just made my debut, and the first thing that I’m being asked to play is a corpse? Just how unlucky is that?”

Roland took a glance at Freyja. “Who is this?”

Donny introduced, “She’s the screenwriter of our crew. The storyline of my new movie originates from the adaptation of her script.”

When Roxy heard that Freyja was just a screenwriter, she looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. “Director Winslow, your screenwriter seems to be trying to embarrass me in public, doesn’t she?”

‘This sl*t is only a screenwriter. How dare she ask me to play a corpse in front of so many people!?’

Freyja knew that she would reject the offer, so she scoffed. “That’s right. That face of yours doesn’t really fit the role of a corpse.”

The two artists who stood the closest to them burst into chuckles.

‘Mr. Boucher’s connotation earlier was already rather obvious, but this lady is even more savage.’

Roxy understood what she meant almost instantly, and her expression changed slightly. “You’re just a petty screenwriter. Are you even in the position to decide what I get to play?”

Everyone present fell silent.

Roland’s expression dimmed. He then turned around and reprimanded her, “Is this the attitude that you should have?”

Roxy was furious.

‘I was only telling the truth.’

Roland had to smooth things over for Roxy. “I’m really sorry. She can be rather impulsive from time to time, so please don’t mind her.”

Freyja added mercilessly, “I really can’t bother to work with an artist who lacks virtue.”

Seeing that she did not even show him a tad bit of respect, Roland was a little displeased. “Miss, although you’re a screenwriter, it’s a bit too much for you to say that. You could be ruining your own career here.”

‘She’s just a screenwriter that Mr. Winslow thinks highly of. She’s not even very well-known yet, and she’s already acting so arrogantly. It seems that this lady doesn’t really understand the underlying rules of this circle.’

Freyja chuckled, and she was furious. “I’m not planning to ask you for investment in the movie, so why should I sweet talk you? Plus, there’s no need for you to threaten me either.”

Roland’s expression gradually turned into one of embarrassment, and the people on the side stood up to persuade him, but Roland ignored all of them. “We’re all in the same industry, so our paths will eventually cross someday in the future. I strongly advise you to speak more tactfully when it comes to socializing with the people in the entertainment industry.”

“However, you’re not the one who decides what happens in the entertainment industry. Am I right, Mr. Goldwin?”

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2684

A voice came from behind Roland.

The man who slowly approached the group of people attracted everyone’s attention. He had a breathtakingly handsome mixed-race face, and his temperament felt noble and elegant.

Although he was not from within the industry, everyone knew that he was Nollace Knowles, the prince of Yaramoor, and his beloved wife was Daisie Vanderbilt from the Goldmanns.

Donny stared at him and was slightly shocked. “Your Highness, you’re in Bassburgh too?”

Nollace nodded. “My cousin happens to be attending this banquet too, so I’ve come over to have a look.” ‘Cousin?’

Only then did the others realize that the female screenwriter they had been talking to looked familiar.

Freyja walked to Nollace’s side. “Why aren’t you accompanying Daisie at home? What brought you here to join in the fun?”

“No matter what, I’m still one of Tenet’s shareholders. I heard that the agency recruited a newbie and then used the fame that my wife had accumulated in the past to market her debut. I’ve always thought that it’s part of the agency’s operations, but it turns out that it’s just you using the company’s name to promote a rookie. Am I right, Mr. Goldwin?”

Roland was stunned.

‘I tried my best to persuade the board into agreeing to recruit Roxy, and coupled with Daisie’s contract, which is about to expire, I really thought that the two of them would never meet.

‘But I didn’t expect Daisie’s husband, the prince of Yaramoor, to be one of Tenet’s shareholders. It’s no wonder he didn’t attend the board of directors’ annual meeting and why the board asked me to find another manager for Roxy, saying that it can’t be Charlie.’

When Roxy learned that the regal man standing in front of her was Daisie’s husband, her expression changed.

She finally understood why Daisie had chosen this man over Zephir.

‘Pfft! It turns out that this man is more powerful and influential than Zephir, and he looks even more outstanding than Zephir. After all, she could become the princess of a country. Why would she care about the entertainment industry?’

Roxy gnashed her teeth.

‘Why can’t I be as lucky as Daisie?

‘I’ll let the fact that I’ve been treated as Daisie’s substitute by Zephir slip. The problem is that I have to get myself involved in an affair with this old man who already has a family. This is infuriating!’

Roland did not dare to say much more as he could not defend Roxy too obviously. If Tenet’s board were to learn about it, it would definitely leave a great impact on his future on the board.

In the end, he could only apologize to Freyja and leave the banquet with Roxy.

Roxy was unwilling to leave the venue. She immediately got into an argument with Roland as soon as they left the banquet hall, left him behind, and left by herself.

The banquet did not stop there, and Freyja walked aside with Nollace. “What’s the matter with that artist named Roxy? Is she exploiting Daisie’s fame?”

“She’s been in the limelight quite frequently nowadays, and the agency’s marketing department has been putting a lot of effort into hyping her debut by comparing her with Daisie all the time. I was under the impression it was what Tenet’s business partners wanted, but I didn’t expect Mr. Goldwin to be the one who’s directing all this behind the scenes.”

Nollace narrowed his eyes.

‘Tenet has many co-investors and shareholders, and the chairman of the board is Mr. Goldwin’s brother-in- law, so it’s reasonable for the board to show him some respect in this matter.

‘However, in order to persuade the business partners to ask Tenet to promote Roxy and go to the extent of using Daisie’s reputation to hype her up. It seems that Mr. Goldwin has pushed behind the scenes to pave a path for this woman.’

Freyja crossed her arms. “When a newcomer makes her debut, if she’s able to do something to make the audience agree unanimously that she is Daisie’s successor and crown her as Daisie Jr., then that’s a form of recognition.

“However, I haven’t even seen her put out a single play yet. All she has done so far is hype herself up with someone else’s fame. If the other party hasn’t agreed to that, then it’s surely intentional.”

When thinking that Roxy did not really care about being compared to Daisie, it seemed intentional.

“Daisie doesn’t really care about it, but I won’t let anyone exploit her fame. This woman isn’t as simple as she seems.”

After some catching up, Nollace bid Freyja goodbye and took his leave first. When he walked to the parking lot, someone suddenly stopped him.

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2685

Nollace stopped, turned around, and looked at Roxy, who was walking toward him. His expression looked calm and unconcerned.

“You are Daisie’s husband, aren’t you? I heard that there are some rumors going on between your wife and Mr. Zephir Gosling.”

‘Every man would surely be triggered if he were to find out that his wife has had a relationship with other men, so I’m confident that this man is the same too.’

Nollace loosened the strap of his watch and pretended to be puzzled. “What kind of rumors are you talking about?”

Roxy gave off a sweet and slightly seductive smirk. “I heard that Mr. Gosling had once courted Daisie back then. However, he couldn’t get her to love him back and even regarded me as her substitute. I also heard that they seemed to have a relationship…”

“Do you know anything about defamation?”

Roxy’s expression froze.

He let off a faint smirk. “I know better than you whether my wife and Zephir have had a relationship before this. Besides, I got acquainted with Zephir a lot earlier than you. What makes you think that you’re in the position of slandering my wife in front of me?”

Roxy remained calm. “Then, don’t you doubt them? Zephir loves Daisie so much there’s no way that he’ll give up on her.”

“He’s never in the same league as me.”

Nollace turned around and was about to leave, but Roxy hurriedly stopped him. “But don’t you worry that Daisie will betray you someday?”

Nollace took his cell phone out of his pocket. “Would you like me to tell Zephir what you just said to me? I believe that he’ll handle this matter well for my wife’s sake.”

Roxy was instantly stunned.

Nollace did not even take another glance at her, got in the car, and left.

Roxy clenched her hands into fists.

‘How is this possible? How can he have so much trust in Daisie? And the key is that he even knows that Zephir has always had a crush on Daisie.

‘If Zephir learns what I just said and gets annoyed by them, he’ll probably instantly cut all ties with me. What’s more, if he makes a huge fuss about this matter and things get to Roland’s ears, that will mark the end of my career and myself!

‘Zephir is trying to break up with me, so I can’t afford to lose my other benefactor now.’

Back at Taylorton…

Nollace pushed open the bedroom door and saw that only one light was left on in the room. Daisie was soundly asleep.

He took off his coat, hung it on a hanger, walked up to the edge of the bed, and sat down.

But the slight movement of the mattress woke Daisie up almost instantly.

She opened her eyes in a daze. “You’ve come home.”

Nollace lifted his hand to caress her cheek, leaned over, and kissed her. “Did I wake you up?”

She chuckled and responded with a tired face, “Nope.”

Nollace rolled over, lay down, hugged her, and rested his chin on the top of her head. “Go back to sleep already. I’m right here.”

Daisie nestled in his arms and continued to sleep.

After falling asleep, Nollace used her cell phone to send Leah a text message, asking her to ask Zephir

out tomorrow.

Just as Leah was about to fall asleep, she received a message from Daisie asking her to ask Zephir out. At first, she thought it was Daisie, but the tone of the text did not sound like her.

She thought of someone.

[Are you Nollace?]

[Yes, there’s something that I want to talk to him about. Sorry to have to bother you.]

[Okay.]

The next day…

Nollace arrived at the restaurant early and waited. He sipped on his cup of tea until Zephir appeared.

Zephir had received a message from Leah saying that Nollace wanted to see him, and he could more or less guess the reason behind this meetup.

He sat down. “Did you ask to meet me?”

Nollace cut to the chase and asked, “Are you dating that woman named Roxy?”

Zephir frowned. “I did date her before, but I broke up with her a long time ago. What’s the matter? Have you come all the way out here just to ask me about her?”

Nollace put his teacup down and lifted his gaze. “Roxy entered the entertainment industry and got recruited by Tenet. I think you should know about this too.”

“This has nothing to do with me.”

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2686

Zephir poured himself a cup of tea.

Nollace interlocked his fingers. “She deliberately brought up your relationship with Daisie in front of me. intending to sow discord between Daisie and me. I bet she’s doing so because of you, right?”

Zephir paused for a bit but did not utter a single word.

“You dated her because she looks like Daisie, so you took her in as a substitute. She now holds a grudge against you, and in order to retaliate against you, she got herself into Tenet on purpose, wanted Charlie to take her under him, and even exploited Daisie’s fame for her own marketing.

“All these actions seem very provocative, so no matter if she’s trying to provoke you or Daisie, there must always be a reason behind her actions.”

Zephir put down the teapot and looked up. “What exactly do you want?”

Nollace scoffed. “Daisie is now pregnant, so I don’t want her to be dragged into this mess. Besides, this is a matter between you and her. You’re the one who let the demon into the house, so shouldn’t you be the one who cleans this mess up?”

Nollace had already seen through everything.

‘It’s obvious that Roxy is doing so because of Zephir.

Zephir dumped her, and she’s not reconciled to being Daisie’s substitute by Zephir and getting dumped in the end. She’s a woman who has a handful of ulterior motives, so would she let this go so easily?

“However, this is a matter between them. I won’t stand idly by the side when Daisie, who’s innocent, gets dragged into the center of this turmoil.’

After Nollace left, Zephir called Roxy. “What did you tell Nollace Knowles before this?”

On the other end of the call, Roxy froze.

This questioning tone… Could it be that he’s told him about our little conversation!?’

She bit her lip. “What else can I say? I’m only giving him the truth. Did you just call me to question me? Zephir Gosling, just how heartless can you be?”

“Roxy Van Damme, I’m warning you for the very last time. You’d better not get Daisie involved in our affairs.”

“Since when did I get her involved? I only got myself into Tenet, and that’s it. What’s the matter? Does this upset you?” Roxy scoffed. “Zephir, I told you that you won’t get to dump me so easily. If you really worry that I might do something that harms Daisie, I would marry me if I were you.”

Zephir’s expression turned gloomy. “You want me to marry you? You’re nowhere near worthy of my hand.”

He then hung up the phone.

Roxy was so exasperated that she threw her phone on the bed.

‘I’m not worthy of you? Hmph! Sooner or later, you’ll be forced to marry me even if you don’t want to do so!

In the chairman’s office of Tenet…

Jaylon Fuhrmann, the company’s chairman, summoned Roland into his office and asked him to explain. his decision to bring Roxy to the banquet the previous night.

Roland bit the bullet and explained, “Jaylon, I’m also doing so for the company’s sake. You see, Roxy has risen to fame so quickly recently. If we can make her even more popular, it won’t harm our company.”

Jaylon threw the magazine at him abruptly. “Read for yourself.”

Roland picked up the magazine, and what the magazine said was that he had taken Roxy to the banquet and publicly tried to promote his niece to all the bigshots present in order to win her more resources in the industry.

Roland was astounded. “This…”

“A niece?” Jaylon glared at him. “Why didn’t I know that you have a niece?”

“Jaylon, she’s actually… The niece of one of our distant relatives.”

“I don’t care who she is. Roland, since you’ve persuaded us to recruit her into Tenet, any events that she should and can attend, including banquets, are arranged by the company. She is only a newbie in the industry, yet you brought her to such an occasion and even promoted her so openly? Have you lost your mind?

“And this is not even the biggest t*rd that you brought back from the banquet! You actually offended Freyja Pruitt because of Roxy? Do you know who she is? She’s the second daughter-in-law of the Goldmanns, Daisie’s sister-in-law!

“That niece of yours, you want her to act in Director Winslow’s latest project? Just who do you think she is? An actress who’s won some newcomer award?”

Jaylon took a deep breath and warned him. “I don’t care how much you and your business partners want Roxy to rise to popularity, but Nollace has spoken. She’s no longer allowed to use Daisie’s reputation for marketing her debut. Lastly, if you do anything else that will drag Tenet’s reputation through the mud ever again, don’t blame me for not treating you like a brother-in-law.

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2687

After saying that, Jaylon left his office without looking back.

Roxy just came out of the elevator and saw Roland. Seeing that no one was in the corridor, she took advantage of their encounter to drag him to the stairwell. “Mr. Goldwin, when will you introduce me to a production crew?”

Roland was not in the mood. Seeing that she was still acting so recklessly in the company, he pushed her away directly. “Roxy, I promised to help you step into the entertainment industry, but you’d better not bring me more trouble. The first thing that you should do is to keep a distance from me when we’re in the company.”

Roxy chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t you think this is very exciting? Mr. Goldwin, please don’t neglect me. I’ll be very sad if you do that to me.”

Roxy acted coquettishly and seductively. Roland liked such an attitude the most, so he soon fell for her charm again.

But they did not notice that a figure just so happened to pass by the stairwell upstairs.

Nollace and Charlie were drinking tea in the office. Charlie flicked the lid of the cup and reported his findings. “I’ve asked Mrs. Fuhrmann just how many distant relatives and nieces the Goldwins have. According to her, none of them are of the same age as Roxy, so it seems that something fishy is going on between Mr. Goldwin and Roxy.”

Nollace took a sip from his teacup, but before he could speak, Charlie’s assistant suddenly barged in with a flustered expression. “Chuc… Chuck!”

Seeing that Nollace was also there, he was stunned for a split second.

Charlie did not even lift his gaze. “Did the sky fall when you were in the toilet?”

The assistant gulped his saliva, and after catching his breath, he exclaimed, “This revelation is bigger than the sky falling. I don’t know whether I should expose it or not.”

Charlie knew that he had some scruples, so he raised his head. “Just shoot.”

“Guess who I just saw at the stairwell? It’s Roxy and Mr. Goldwin! They’re having an affair!”

Charlie was stunned for a moment. “What did you just say?”

“It’s true. I saw them with my own eyes. They were hugging and caressing each other at the stairwell. It’s

truly stomach-turning!”

The assistant was indeed frightened.

‘Thank God that I didn’t make a sound when I heard the commotion. If they were to find out about me, I’d probably be forcibly dragged into another turbulence.’

Charlie glanced at Nollace, whose expression was unchanged.

‘Mr. Goldwin recruited Roxy, and no one has ever doubted the reason that Mr. Goldwin gave, saying that

our business partners want Roxy to be pushed into the limelight as soon as possible.

‘But I really didn’t expect this to be the case. It’s no wonder Nollace thinks that Roxy is suspicious.’

Charlie asked Nollace, “What do you think about this matter?”

Nollace responded calmly, “I’ll have to meet his wife someday.”

Charlie stopped him hurriedly. “Don’t act too rashly. Although he’s seen it, we don’t have any real evidence. Mrs. Goldwin might not believe in what you say.”

Nollace explained with a smirk, “Don’t worry. I don’t need her to believe in what I say right away. I only need her to start doubting her husband.”

The next afternoon, Nollace contacted Roland’s wife in person, and the two met in a cafe.

After Nollace told her about the rumors that had been going around in the company, Mrs. Goldwin berated him with a sullen expression. “Don’t you dare slander Roland in front of me! He’s been busy with work all day, every day. And he’s only recruited a newcomer for his brother-in-law’s agency, so how would he dare to do something like that?”

Nollace held a coffee mug in his hand. “I have a business relationship with Tenet too. That’s why I’m thinking about the agency too. Mr. Goldwin personally brought the newcomer to a banquet in the circle the night before yesterday and made a huge scene for her while trying to find her some resources. This incident really left a negative impact on Tenet’s reputation.

“As far as I know, your husband shouldn’t have the right to interfere with the agency’s operations. As for the newcomer, she’s an artist that Tenet recruited recently, but she attended the occasion with your husband as his companion. So what do you think will go through outsiders’ minds when they see such a scene?”

The speaker might not mean it, but the listener had already taken the information in. However, as Roland’s wife, Mrs. Goldwin was also a public figure, and she was very sensitive toward her family’s reputation, so her expression dimmed almost instantly. “I don’t believe it.”

Nollace chuckled. “I’m also a man with a family, so even if I’m busy with my businesses, I’ll always try to avoid suspicion. I’d never bring a female artist out with me. As soon as rumors about your husband start spreading in the company, things won’t end well for both parties. Thus, I believe you don’t want to see your husband discredit the agency too, do you?”

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2688

A few days later, Roxy joined a cast with Roland’s help. Her arrival even got the original female lead removed from the cast, as Roxy had to be the one to take over the female lead’s role because the crew received sponsorship from her benefactor.

Roxy posted a post on Twitter about joining the filming crew. A series of beautiful pictures of herself then followed it. She even shot them from the exact angle that Daisie shot hers from back then.

This caused the names of the two artists to be tied together on Google Trends and Twitter again. Such behavior attracted a lot of disdain from Daisie’s fans.

Many of them went onto Roxy’s Twitter account and retweeted her tweet, and while doing so, they bashed her and told her to stop tying herself to Daisie to hype herself up.

Many thought she would delete the post after all the attention she had attracted. Still, no one expected that she would mock Daisie’s fans, saying that they were criticizing her only because they were worried their artist would no longer be relevant after returning from her hiatus.

Her arrogance completely angered Daisie’s fans. Some netizens even felt that she was already this presumptuous before she became popular.

Only a small number of netizens thought that Daisie’s fans should just mind their own business. After all, creating gossip and hype was not illegal, so they didn’t need to be so serious.

However, Roxy had zero filming experience and slightly exaggerated acting skills. This rendered all the artists working with her in the crew speechless.

After all, she had parachuted into the crew in such a blatant manner and had even driven the original female lead away. Although the original actress was also a newcomer, at least she had just graduated from a film academy. Still, at the end of the day, her skills were still no match for the pure power of capitalism, and she was replaced only after a few days of filming.

“Tenet is too full of itself nowadays. They’re directing all their resources toward an artist who doesn’t even know how to act. She’s shameless enough to compare herself with Daisie.”

“Daisie didn’t rely on any resource that her family could have provided her, but this newbie, I think she can’t wait to announce to the whole world that she’s landed this role because she brought funds into the project.”

Two actresses were badmouthing Roxy in the dressing room, and the latter just happened to overhear them.

Roxy walked in. “If you have the ability, you can also bring funds into the crew.”

The two actresses looked back at her with disgusted expressions. “What’s your problem? You haven’t even become a thing in the industry, yet you’re already this arrogant?”

Roxy said disdainfully, “So what if I’m arrogant? At least Tenet is willing to provide me with all the resources that I want. Speaking of which, who are you when you’re being compared to me? Can you get your hands on the resources that I have? Believe it or not, all I need to do is utter a short sentence, and you two will be on your way out of here.”

An actress stood up from her chair. “If you really are as influential as you portray yourself to be, make us leave. What makes you think we’re all here supporting your role willingly?”

The actors then left the room wrathfully.

Roxy was so infuriated that she called Roland immediately. As soon as the call went through, she

instantly complained in an aggrieved and coquettish tone, “Mr. Goldwin, I just got bullied on the set. They want me to get out of the set!”

Unexpectedly, the other party did not respond, and Roxy was momentarily stunned. “Mr. Goldwin, why aren’t you talking to me? Are you starting to dislike me?”

At that moment, a woman’s roar came from the other end of the phone call. “You little b*tch! What’s your relationship with my husband!?”

Roxy was so frightened that she hung up the phone immediately, and her face turned pale almost instantly.

What’s going on? Why was his wife the one who answered the call!?’

Roxy’s phone rang at this time, and it was from the same number. However, she did not dare to answer it, so she turned off her phone directly.

On the other side of the phone call, Mrs. Goldwin was exasperated.

When Nollace told me about Roland’s extramarital affair with Roxy the other day, I didn’t believe Roland would betray me. But as soon as I returned home, I instantly realized that Roland has been becoming more and more superficial to me.

“He’s always away from home, and when he comes home, he will only stay here for less than a day before he leaves again. And whenever I ask him about anything, he won’t even answer me seriously. His attitude. has been perfunctory all this while. Last but not least, he doesn’t even want to touch me anymore.”

That was how she became suspicious of her husband.

Thinking of the woman’s disgusting tone from the phone call just now, she was even more certain that her husband was having an affair with Roxy!

Roland suddenly remembered that he had left his cell phone downstairs and was coming downstairs to get it. That was when he saw his wife holding onto his cell phone and the strange expression on her face. He realized something, rushed downstairs, and snatched it back. “What are you doing with my phone?”

“If I hadn’t gotten my hands on your phone, how would I know that you’ve been having an affair with a b* tch out there!?”

The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2690

Roxy was beaten up and sent to the hospital. However, even the patients that shared the same ward with her were unwilling to stay with her because of her reputation.

On the other end of this farce…

Tenet’s stock dropped by 13% in less than a day.

Roland was forced to issue a press release to clear up his relationship with Roxy. Tenet’s officials also released a post on all their social media platforms, saying they had terminated their contract with Roxy. Roxy was now known as the artist who got kicked out of the circle not long after landing a place in the industry-she had become a joke on the Internet.

As things continued to spread and ferment on the Internet, Roxy was completely blacklisted from showbiz. Her Twitter was temporarily deactivated to salvage the traffic that Twitter had been facing since her downfall.

Seeing this, she could only resort to her final trick, and that was to call the Goslings and tell them that she was pregnant with Zephir’s child.

Patricia was so angry that she fainted when she got the news.

When Zephir returned and learned about this from his father, his expression dimmed in an instant. “What did you just say?”

At that moment, Patricia gradually regained consciousness and instantly slapped Zephir as soon as she saw him. “You, get out of my sight!”

Alexander hurried over. “Patricia, what are you doing?”

“I’m teaching my son a lesson!” Patricia’s face turned pale from the wrath. “Zephir Gosling, just look at what you’ve become! You’ve brought shame to the Goslings!”

Zephir did not utter a single word to explain himself, allowing his mother to vent all her anger.

Patricia’s face looked gloomy on the bed, and all she felt was exhaustion. “You’ve never had a thing for a normal, excellent girl like Lay. You only prefer to mess around with filthy women. This hurts me whenever I’m reminded of the women you mingle around with.”

Zephir lowered his gaze. “I’ll take care of this.”

Alexander was worried about what his son would do, so he quickly stopped him. “You’re to take care of this matter, but there’s a line that you mustn’t cross!”

Zephir stopped for a split second, then walked out without looking back.

Zephir came to the hospital, and Roxy chuckled upon seeing him. “You still came to see me-

As soon as she said that, Zephir slapped her with the back of his right hand.

Her face turned to the left side of the bed.

Roxy covered her cheek and stared at him in disbelief. “Did you just hit me!?”

He slapped her with his left hand this time around.

Roxy’s cheeks were flushed and swollen, but she still did not even dare to speak in the face of Zephir’s gloomy expression.

“You’re pregnant with my child? Do you really think that I’ll believe this nonsense?”

She tried her best to keep herself calm and held him back. “Zeph… Zephir Gosling, even if you don’t believe me, you can always run a paternity test after the child is born.”

Zephir flung her hand off his arm, and waves of coldness surged from the bottom of his eyes. “Even if you’ve gotten pregnant, there’s no way that it’s mine.”

“What… What do you mean by that?” She shuddered.

Zephir grabbed her face by the cheeks and said ruthlessly, “As soon as you appeared in front of me with this face, I already knew that you were a woman of plentiful ulterior motives. Did you really think that I would get together with you without looking into your background?”

Roxy froze on the bed, and her back gradually stiffened.

He leaned forward and stared at the woman in front of him. “I won’t give any woman the opportunity to conceive my child, but I don’t trust any of you to take appropriate measures to avoid that. I still have to ensure that I won’t be framed or tricked. As for the reason all those women didn’t conceive my child by accident while they were with me, do you know why?”

Roxy’s shoulders trembled.

He continued, uttering each word clearly. “Do you still remember those healthcare products that I bought you? You seemed to be delighted when you received them back then.”

‘Healthcare products…’

Roxy remembered that since she started dating Zephir, the latter had bought her many luxury healthcare products.

All women loved to stay in shape, so consuming some healthcare products to maintain their weight was normal, not to mention that the effects of those products were fabulous.

‘Is it possible for those healthcare products…’

“That’s right. Those healthcare products I gave you contain a high amount of musk xylene and ketone. The other women who came before you were more obedient, and they didn’t stay by my side long, so they shouldn’t have been impacted much.”
