Josie turned back and took a look. It was Rebecca.

"Long time no see," Josie said in a polite tone,

Madelyn rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't this Miss Vixen?"

Rebecca snorted, walked to Madelyn, lifted her chin, and replied, "Please call me little vixen. It's a sign of respect for me."

Hearing that, Josie wanted to laugh. "Long time no see," she said again.

"What do you mean long time no see? I just met you a few days ago, okay? Rebecca looked at Josie with disdain. "Look at that weak face of yours. I wonder who's the blind guy that gave you that one extra vote."

Josie did not say anything in response. She and Rebecca had a grudge against each other. The root of this hatred came from an informal vote in college. Both Josie and Rebecca ran for the campus belle.

According to Madelyn, she and Rebecca were on par with each other. However, at that crucial moment, someone gave another one of their votes to Josie. Hence, Rebecca lost and became the class belle while Josie was the campus belle.

"Do you know how to speak nicely! If you don't, please stay away from us. Madelyn pushed Rebecca aside and sandwiched herself between Rebecca and Josie, fearing that Rebecca's coquettish act would get to them.

"Are you

still in Stripes Entertainment?" On the other hand, Josie was not disgusted by Rebecca. She felt that the latter was not as bad as she had seemed and was just rude.

"You've been an artist under an unknown film and television company for many years, yet you're still not popular." Madelyn rolled her eyes and sized Rebecca up. "There's no need for you to wear sunglasses and a mask. No one knows you."

"Madelyn, do you know why you have been single until now?" The atmosphere became hostile as Madelyn and Rebecca stared at one another.

The war between women was often silent but terrifying.

Josie shrugged. At that moment, all she wanted to do was get away from this situation.

Tm working in Clusia Media Group. Would you like me to introduce you to our company?" Madelyn asked with a smug

look.

Rebecca's face contorted with rage. "You're at Clusia Media Group? Is the company blind? Which program of theirs would need you as a reporter!"

"Well, I'm sorry. Entertainment reporters, also known as p p arazzi, specialize in gathering gossip from all kinds of celebrities. However... Madelyn sized Rebecca up again and added, "You're not a hot topic It's not worth it for me to dig

You!

"Why don't you two fight over there for a while before coming in?" Josie asked awkwardly.

She was feeling somewhat cold.

The weather was cold since it was the end of autumn, yet Madelyn insisted that Josie wear a dress. The latter had long legs, so the dress could only cover two-thirds of her thighs. Moreover, the dress had a low neckline too.

"Who wants to fight with her?" Rebecca snorted and walked to josie. "To be honest, I almost didn't recognize you last week. Why do you look so sick and tired now? Is this the current trend for beauty standards?"

Chapter 58

"You saw me last week?" Josie asked in surprise.

Rebecca answered, "Well, did you go to Union Entertainment for an interview? I have a project with the company. I overheard their human resource department manager saying that you've offended Mrs. Gibson of Gibson Corporation. Ashley, that little bitc h, gave them a call on purpose.

Josie froze momentarily, stopped in her tracks, and thought, "Ashley got someone to follow me?"

Josie's expression darkened, and she clenched her fists tighter, Union Entertainment had nothing to do with Gibson Corporation. She was wondering how Henry could do so much. It turned out that Ashley was the one behind all that.

"What's wrong with that bitc h? Madelyn's voice was shrill. "Jo, did you submit so many resumes because of what Ashley did!"

Rebecca was confused. "When did you offend that little bit h?"

Those who were working in the same industry were enemies. Rebecca was an actress who considered herself talented. Thus, it was natural for her to look down on Ashley, who had many resources. "It's a long story... Josie said through gritted teeth.

Ashley was indeed always provoking her.

"Well, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Just wait till I sn at c h some of her resources. I'll avenge you." Rebecca looked like she was ready to stand up for Josie.

Madelyn rolled her eyes and replied, "You? Let's talk about this when you leave that ravenous company.

"Don't look down on me. I'm telling you, Ashley has been busy looking for someone to inquire about the CEO of Clusia Media Group. She's determined to act in the new film produced by Clusia Media Group, which is a huge production. This is agood opportunity for her to gain both fame and wealth. I heard that the boss behind Clusia Media Group doesn't care about someone with many resources as long as they are good at acting. With my acting skills, I can definitely win over her, okay?" Rebecca responded with confidence.

Josie glanced at Rebecca and sighed. "You don't understand the horror of capital.”

"You're right. I heard Henry spent a lot just to let Ashley be the main character. He had already invested 50%. Rebecca was disappointed.

Josie's heart filled with sadness and then, she laughed sarcastically.

However, she was laughing at herself.

Josie had nothing to fight about with Ashley.

The favored would always be fearless. Josie could not compete with Ashley at all.

"I can't believe she's a two-faced little bit c h. She came and knelt before us last night but played dirty tricks behind our backs.

Abitch will always be a hypocrite!" Madelyn muttered in anger and held Josie's arm as she felt sorry for the latter.

Did you guys hear? Those who are married will bring their families tonight, and the rest are singles."

"Why such a difference?"

"In order to let our classmates find someone within ourselves. Those who had a crush on someone back then can know if their crushes are still single. This class reunion is giving everyone an opportunity. It's up to them to take it."

In the banquet hall, there were already several tables of old classmates chatting.

"Hugh, are you working at Gibson Corporation? Is Henry coming? I have had a crush on him for many years, someone commented jokingly.

Chapter 30

"Hahaha! Give it up! Can you be more beautiful than Ashley?"

"Ashley is really something. She is beautiful and popular, and her husband is Henry. No one would dare mess with her

Josie sat quietly on the round table beside them. There was no one at that table, except for Josie, Madelyn, and Rebecca.

Rebecca was a carefree person, so she did not find out why. After all the other tables were full, she muttered in a low voice. "Am I that scary: Why isn anyone coming to our table?" "They may be afraid of me..." Josie said helplessly.

Only then did Rebecca hear people at other tables talking.

"Have you guys heard that Josie and Henry fought for the Gibson family's property? She played dirty tricks and offended Henty. Whoever sits at the same table as she is unlucky"

"I heard that Ezra worked hard and finally has that position, but because he had a meal with Josie and with just a word from Henry, Ezra almost lost his job."

"The power of capital is horrifying.

Josie sat on the chair and slowly clenched her fists.

To what extent was Henry going to force Josie?

Josie!" Seeing that Josie was about to leave, Rebecca reached out to stop her. "Why did you mess with Henry? I remember that he's your older brother. Is it really like what they said? Did you fight over the family's property with Henry?"

"Bullshit!" Madelyn wanted to argue with those people. However, Josie said that she had signed a confidentiality agreement, which meant no one could know about Josie and Henry's marriage. However, who was the one who spread the rumor?

Could Henry be that childish!

"Maddy, sit down." Josie grabbed Madelyn, and with tears in her eyes, she asked the latter to sit down.

"Henry is here!"

"Henry is here?"

"Really? He never attended any of our class reunions. How could he possibly come?"

The quiet banquet hall instantly burst into a frenzy. Everyone was more excited than meeting a celebrity because it was rare for Henry, an elite, to come to a class reunion with old classmates. Ezra was right. Their class reunion was a gathering of resources. Everyone gathered for a mutual value.

"It's Ashley! Oh my goodness! I can't believe I'm seeing her in person. Henry brought her here!"

"He dotes on her!"

"Pift! What's the big deal? She's just someone who relies on a man. I don't care," Rebecca said while rolling her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of offending Henry?" Josie sat back with cold fingers. Why should she leave? Why should she be afraid of Henry and Ashley?

Rebecca snorted. 'I'm not afraid of anyour since I'm already in this situation."

"Mr. Gibson! Mr. Gibson! Come and have a seat at our table. There's space here."

Chapter 53

"Come here instead, Mr. Gibson."

Some of them fawned over the wealthy and wanted

to sit at their table.

Henry glanced at Josie, who was sitting at the table in the corner. He then walked straight over to her.

Let's change our table. Jo... Seeing Henry walking over with Ashley, Madelyn pulled Josie up angrily. Josie was shivering slightly as she only wore a dress.

Henry's eyes were fixated on Josie, and his expression gradually darkened.

It was Henry's first time seeing Josie dressed like that in all these years.

The dress is so short. Who does she want to seduce? Henry questioned inwardly.
