Chapter 929 They Are Targeting Me
“Okay, you’re flattering me. Oh, I heard Ysabelle and Georgina are going to be your bridesmaids, right? Count me in!”
Given their close relationship, there was no way Cecelia would miss the opportunity to be Sophie’s. bridesmaid.
“Of course. I’ve reserved a spot for you.”
As the best of friends, it was only natural for her and Cecelia to be each other’s bridesmaids.
“Look at you. You’re getting married soon while I’m all alone. Am I really that much of a failure? Why can’t I meet my prince charming?”
Cecelia thought of herself to be a pretty good catch, but for some reason, she just hadn’t met the right person for her.
To make matters worse, she wasn’t someone who would settle for less.
“Don’t worry. You will meet the right person soon.” Cecelia was an outstanding woman. She had never once lost herself even in the entertainment industry, which could be pretty toxic and complicated.
She only focused on acting and rarely had scandals.
Someone like her deserved all the happiness.
“Okay, we’re leaving now that the movie is over. Do come over for the wedding photoshoot. Get plenty of rest for the time being, and I’ll help you secure another major blockbuster film soon.
“You’re the best, Sophie. I’ll listen to all your arrangements,” Cecelia said obediently.
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Sophie left with Tristan, hand in hand.
The following day, Connor of Maxwell Corporation brought Terence over to apologize. Victor chuckled when he heard his secretary telling him about it.
As expected, Ms. Sophie is capable of resolving any issue.
“Mr. White, should I let them in now?” the secretary asked since she didn’t know how Victor wanted to handle the issue.
“Bring them into my office.” Since the CEO of Maxwell Corporation had paid them a visit in person, Victor felt that he needed to at least show the former some respect.
Moreover, the collaboration was still on the table.
Following Victor’s instruction, the secretary brought Connor, Terence, and the other employees of Maxwell Corporation to Victor’s office.
“I’m sorry, Mr. White. I’ve done a terrible job disciplining my subordinates which caused you so much trouble. Today, I brought them here to apologize to you. I hope you can give us another chance.”
The collaboration with Tanner Group was essentially crucial to Maxwell Corporation. Thus, Connor saw the need to come in person to apologize.
“Don’t say that, Mr. Maxwell. We must have done something that displeased Mr. Hein. Otherwise, why would he deliberately make things difficult for us?”
“Y-You-
Terence never wanted to apologize in the first place, and Victor’s words only served to annoy him further. He was about to say something in retort but was quickly silenced by Connor’s glare.
“I’m sorry, Mr. White. I was wrong. Please forgive me.” Terence had always been an arrogant man and had never behaved so humbly before.
“Our CEO called you personally yesterday. Mr. Maxwell. I’m sure you’re well aware of what our CEO wants.”
“Yes, Mr. White. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure he doesn’t appear in front of you in the future. Also, I’ve brought the deputy CEO of our company to coordinate with you. This is the deputy CEO of our company. He is one of the most capable employers of Maxwell Corporation. You have nothing to worry about.”
Terence was initially arrogant and aggressive, but now that he was fired, he could no longer behave haughtily.
The deputy CEO of Maxwell Corporation and Victor settled the rest of the issue. They then signed the contract on the spot without further ado,
After Connor and the others left. Victor breathed a sigh of relief. At long last, this problem is resolved.
Then, he immediately called Sophie to inform her of the good news.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Sophie! We’ve signed the contract with Maxwell Corporation. They behaved pleasantly this time, and we had a good talk. Okay, I got it. I’ll handle the rest. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Their recent project was a hot property to begin with. Many other companies besides Maxwell Corporation wanted to collaborate with them.
Seeing how overjoyed Victor looked, the secretary poured him a cup of coffee.
“Mr. White, I have a feeling we’ll be receiving a handsome bonus again this year.” Ms. Sophie has always been generous, and now Tanner Group is prospering each day!
“Look at you. You’re being greedy.”
“No! I mean, look, the CEO of Maxwell Corporation even came in person after Ms. Sophie gets involved. I’ve heard people from Transfix Cosmetics mention that Ms. Sophie has led them to success, and I didn’t believe them at first. But now, I believe what they say is true!”
“Yeah. Ms. Sophie is indeed excellent at her job. We, too, have to do our best to make sure we don’t drag her down.”
Meanwhile, it had been a few days since Sophie went to the medical association. However, she received a call from Ysabelle’s assistant as soon as she arrived at the association.
The assistant told Sophie that Ysabelle got injured during the filming for a variety show.
“Ms. Sophie, Ysabelle is badly injured. I’m at the hospital with her now. Please come and take a look!”
Everyone at TS Entertainment knew Ysabelle was close to Sophie.
“All right, I got it. I’ll be there right away.”
Ysabelle immediately turned to head out after hanging up the phone.
Arius, who was thinking of discussing a medical issue with her, saw her walking out and asked, “What’s the matter? You’ve only just arrived. Why are you leaving so soon?”
-Ysabelle got hurt. I’m going to check on her now.” Sophie explained while hurrying away.
“What happened to her? It hasn’t even been long since Felix left, and she’s already gotten herself injured?”
Sophie reached the hospital to see Ysabelle’s leg already in a cast. There she was on the hospital bed, sulking.
The assistant let out a sigh of relief after seeing Sophic.
“Ms. Sophie, I’ll go and buy Ysabelle some food now. She hasn’t eaten anything since this morning.”
“What’s wrong? How did you get hurt?”
Sophie walked over and sat next to the bed.
“I’m fine, Sophie. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll take care of this myself, Ysabelle said, fuming.
“Are you saying this is not an accident?” Sophie could tell what had happened from her reaction.
“Yes,”
Meanwhile, news of Ysabelle behaving haughtily started to spread on the internet. Some news articles even claimed that she had bullied Elena, the “Diva
Sophie’s gaze turned grim instantly when she scrolled through the news. It was Xandra’s decision to let Ysabelle participate in this music variety show. However, Sophie had been too occupied recently and had no time to pay attention to the show.
I didn’t expect Ysabelle to get bullied!
“I’m sorry, Ysabelle. I’ve neglected you recently, causing this to happen to you.”
Ysabelle didn’t intend to make Sophie worry over this incident. Besides, such an incident was common in the entertainment industry. She believed she could handle it on her own.
“This isn’t your fault, Sophie. There’s no need to blame yourself. I can handle it just fine.”
I’m an adult now, so I can’t just rely on others deal with such issues for me. After all, I must learn to fend for myself.
Xandra came as well after receiving news of Ysabelle’s injury. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Ysabelle to be slandered.
“Their target was me.” Xandra spoke as her gaze turned frosty. I can’t believe they had the audacity to bully Ysabelle. Looks like they’ve grown a pair
