"Yes! 'The new-born calf makes sport of the tiger.' We need to redeploy carefully, " the other solders agreed with Daisy. Their ranks were lower than Daisy's, so they followed her orders this time. But they also knew she was good at this. No one questioned, no one complained.
"Okay! It seems that we have to take an unusual path today. Come on! We'll make an even better plan, and see how the Major General can surprise us, " said Daisy with a sneer. She looked at the enemies aggressively.
While the military exercise was in full swing, the media in S City was heated. They all focused their attention on the press conference held by FX International Group. The event happening now caused a scene.
Two years ago, the FX International Group terminated the contract with a popular female star, and this was a similar case. But this time, the star was the A-lister of FX entertainment company -- Coco. That's why it had caused such a sensation.
The public thought that Coco was the victim of the sex scandal. But it turned out that everything was planned by her. She did this to get more attention from the public. She didn't expect that Clint denied it by claiming that he was gay and there was no sex scandal at all. He also claimed that all the fuss was created by Coco and he was set up. So everything shifted dramatically. The people who had felt sympathy for Coco now looked at her with disdain. The citizens talked trash about Coco on every street corner.
Edward stared nonchalantly at the screen. He had a mischievous smile when he saw the sensation his company had caused. 'If she didn't annoy me by starting that fake sex scandal, she might have had a good career. But I didn't expect that she would go to these lengths to get popular. She crossed the line. If she is useless to me, I can only destroy her, ' thought Edward.
Coco went to Jessica's place, pissed off. She regretted that she had made such a big fuss. She took Jessica's advice, who said that she could further her career this way. But in the end, she lost not only her fame, but also her career.
"Jessica, what did you tell me? That this was supposed to catapult me to super-stardom? But what's happening now? FX International is holding a press conference, and I'm getting crucified." Coco asked, constantly shaking the arm of Jessica, who was stunned speechless. Coco tried hard to escape from the paparazzi and got to Jessica's place. Now the news spread, and dozens (if not hundreds) of rumors flew from one person's lips to another's ears. If it went on like this, she feared that she couldn't appear in public again, Coco thought.
"Coco, I really don't know how it gets to this point. Lin Group is in trouble now. I really don't know what's going to happen, " replied Jessica, who slipped into the sofa and didn't react to Coco who was shaking her. 'It seems that no matter how hard I've tried, a word from Edward can easily make my plans fail. That's the advantage of being in a high position. And that superior power will always mean a blow to my plans, no matter how flawless they are, ' Jessica thought.
"I don't care what happens. You must ask Edward to walk back his words. In any case, my contract with the FX International Group can't be canceled. Otherwise my career tanks. Didn't you say that he loves you most? Please help me, beg him to help me. If they terminate the contract, no entertainment company will consider signing me, " said Coco. She didn't care how sullen Jessica looked, she only wanted to get her honor back. She had worked hard and sacrificed many things to climb to her current position. So she was determined to retain her glorious fame.
"It's useless. I know him. He's stubborn, and he won't take his words back. Besides, he won't care what I will say from now on, he doesn't love me anyway, " said Jessica. When she remembered how he treated her this afternoon, she got even more despondent. She really thought that Edward loved her when they were together. But today, she realized that in Edward's heart, she was nothing compared to Daisy. And she had never enjoyed that intense love from him. She couldn't accept this, but she could do nothing about it.
"But what should I do now? So that means I am done with my career, so I am done with my life?" Coco said, and released Jessica's arms, out of her mind. She slipped onto the ground. Her thoughts were heavy with grief. 'I now realize that people can't be too greedy. We should learn to be satisfied with what we already have. We can avoid making mistakes that way, and falling down. We'll get more harm than good in the end, getting nothing but shame and losing everything, ' Coco thought.
Sorry, Coco. It's all my fault." apologized Jessica, tears running down her cheeks. Her father just woke up in the hospital. The stock of Lin Group kept plummeting. And together with the matter of Coco, everything was weighing down on her. She was overwhelmed. 'It's all because of that damn woman -- Daisy, who caused everything. Otherwise Edward would not be angry with me. So Daisy, you must pay for this, ' thought Jessica.
Clever people would constantly reflect on their past mistakes, only stupid people blamed their faults on others. Jessica belonged to the latter. That was also the reason why she would continue to make bigger mistakes in the future. She was on a downward spiral, with nowhere to go but further dow.
