Amelia was upset that Kate was always siding with Skylar and said, “Kate, you’re too biased. You are giving all the
good jobs to Skylar. All that’s left for me are just some random magazine shoots.”
Kate let out a self-deprecating laughter and answered, “You think too highly of me. Do you think I have a say in the
cast of Empyrean Sword? You should be asking the higher-ups for an opportunity to be in it instead of me.”
Amelia replied awkwardly, “It doesn’t seem like the higher-ups truly treat Skylar well anyway, letting her star in that
kind of show. If her popularity shoots up after the show is broadcast, it wouldn’t be surprising if her next step is to
star in R-rated films.”
Sensing Amelia’s jealousy, Kate replied smilingly, “You shouldn’t be assuming what her stardom journey would be
like. Skylar has God-given good looks that are meant for this industry, and you shouldn’t feel indignant over that. It
would only be unfair if the both of you were equally attractive but she’s being favored.”

worked closely together previously, they had always maintained a good relationship.
After Royal Entertainment was set up by the Ford Group, Valerie was appointed as the executive president.
Even though Valerie was reluctant to take up the position, Tobias did not give her an option. As such, she had no
choice but to leave Tobias’ side.
When Valerie saw Susan in the afternoon, she noticed how tired the woman looked and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it
that busy at the office? You have lost so much weight! You were already very skinny, to begin with. If this carries on,
I’m worried that you’ll be left with bones the next time I see you. How are you doing lately? You haven’t been
replying to my messages.”
Susan added some ice cubes to her lemonade and gulped the entire glass down at one go in order to quench her
thirst.
Then, she starting ranting, “How can I not be busy? It’s all Sheldon’s fault. Not only is he inefficient at work, but he’s
always playing games in the office. I have to go through every single document once before I can let him sign on
them.”
Having a hard time understanding, Valerie replied, “Yeah, I don’t know what Mr. Ford is thinking. How can he
appoint that trash as CEO? After becoming a couple with that lass from our company, he has been acting without
logic sometimes.”
“Well, it’s not possible for us to understand what Mr. Ford is thinking. He’s been with Skylar for quite a while. That
girl must be quite something to be able to stay by his side for that long. Mr. Ford would even pick up her calls during
meetings,” Susan said.
Valerie sneered and replied, “What a bit*h! She’s abusing her power in the company just because she has a pretty
face. She probably thinks she’s the one calling the shots in the company. I arranged for some work for her today,
but she refused to cooperate. Ugh, the nerve! She really thinks she’s the queen, doesn’t she? Let’s see how long
she can last with Mr. Ford!”

Susan cautioned Valerie worriedly, “I think you shouldn’t make things difficult for Skylar on account of her
relationship with Mr. Ford. If he knows that you are giving her trouble, he might not let you off easily.”
However, Valerie replied confidently, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve been with Mr. Ford for so many years. How
can she compare to me? Mr. Ford and I are like family, meanwhile, she’s just an outsider.”
Susan felt that ever since Valerie left their company, she became flashier and more seemed to always behave
haughtily. As she gained more authority, she had also become full of herself.
In the past, Valerie read situations well and would not behave in such a brash manner. Perhaps her reaction was
also because she was used to seeing Tobias being surrounded by countless women who were gone as soon as they
came. As such, she was aware that Tobias wasn’t someone who had a soft spot for women.
Susan felt that she had done her part to caution Valerie and if Valerie insisted on seeking her doom, there was
nothing she could do.
