Novel Sweet
Chapter 800
Stella's shoulders slumped as Remington remained silent, a profound sadness washing over her. It took her a moment to remember why she had come in the first place. "Remington, about the Starlight Group's 10th anniversary gala... do you think we could have Glory Media handle it?" she finally said.
Glory Media was largely controlled by the Miller family, but the Wests held a significant stake as well. Stella, having returned with a newfound fascination for the glitz and glamor of the entertainment industry, was brought into Glory Media by Martin West. It was there that she became fast friends with Margaret Miller. However, Glory Media's reputation had recently taken a hit when Lizetta orchestrated a smear campaign against Yolanda, leading to a significant drop in stock prices and affecting their artists. The situation was only salvaged when Glory Media held a press conference, with President Miller himself declaring Yolanda's actions as her own, promising to dismiss Margaret from her position and publicly apologizing to Yolanda and the public.
The scandal had been overshadowed by the revelation of a seasoned actor's affair, but the damage to Glory Media's reputation was done. The Starlight Group's anniversary gala, an event guaranteed to be filled with industry titans and celebrities, could be a golden opportunity for Glory Media to redeem itself and for Stella to secure her position within the company.
Stella looked at Remington earnestly, hoping he would see the benefit in letting Glory Media handle the event. However, he merely glanced at her and said, "Go through the proper company channels. If there's nothing else, you should leave. And try not to visit too often; Grandma needs her rest."
Feeling a mix of anger and disappointment, Stella bit her lip and turned to leave, only to run into Lizetta around the corner. Her face, still stained with tears, was clearly visible under the bright lights.
The last thing Stella wanted was for Lizetta to see her in such a state. She quickly composed herself and approached Lizetta with a sneer. "DO you think you've won? That
Remington loves you? Ha, you ned
naive. He's only with you out of guilt, just like he felt guilty about me. He couldn't even focus on your wedding because he was too busy rescuing me."
Stella hoped to see Lizetta hurt, but Lizetta didn't even blink. After a moment, Lizetta smiled mockingly "At least you're aware that all he feels for you is guilt. Too bad guilt wasn't enough for him to marry you. I've been gone four months and you've made no progress. Oh wait, there is progress. He seems to be starting to despise you."
Stella, stung by Lizetta's words, retorted, "Don't get too cocky! Without the Dashiell family, without Remington, you're nothing! If you were really so high and mighty, you'd stay far away from Remington and the Dashiells. Don't rely on a man's protection and help after divorce, and certainly don't come crawling back."
Leaning in, Stella whispered venomously, "And if you're not careful, you might want to spend some time thinking about whether the grass over your child's grave has grown three feet tall by now."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
