Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) -
Chapter 839
Chapter 839 I Told You to Scram
“Thank you for your compliment, Miss Jennings.” Knowing that Winona was thinking of her, Elisewas glad. “Miss Jennings, Miss White, it's getting late. It's time for your makeup.” An assistant cameforward to urge them.
Winona and Elise exchanged glances before they went on their own ways. Meanwhile, everythingwas ready for the director's team, and they were already in the testing stage, ready to startbroadcasting at any moment. As Blitzy Entertainment's biggest live broadcast that year, the topperson in charge, Anthony, personally came to the site.
Seeing that the guests were about to enter, Margaret barged in aggressively from the side door.“Mr. Lowry, I was looking for you everywhere!” Margaret said while closing in on Anthony. When thestaff saw her with a murderous aura, they went forward to stop her.
“Let her come over.” Anthony waved his hand and stood up, leisurely straightening his jacket. “MissAinsley, what do you want from me?”
“Mr. Lowry, we've been working together for a long time. I don't believe you don’t know that we'veissued a blacklisting order against Anastasia in the entire industry, right?” Margaret askedsarcastically, her words suggesting that he was being unethical.
“I didn’t know.” Anthony played dumb and said, “I've heard about it a little, but you can assume thatI know about it. So what?”
“So what? I should be asking you that. Mr. Lowry, are you implying that you want to go againstme?”
“Don’t exaggerate things. I'm a businessman, so I'll promote anyone who has commercial value.Besides, you know that the rumors about Anastasia and Alexander are all over the country, sothere's no reason for me not to seize such a good resource.” Anthony smiled slyly.
“How could you believe in a rumor like that? Anastasia has two children and has been married for along time!” The more Margaret spoke, the more agitated she became. “She is deliberately clingingto Alexander so that you'd hire her. If you believe it, you'll really be caught in her trap. She's adifficult person to control, and if she ruins your show, it'll be too late for you to regret it. So listen tome—swap her out for someone else while you still can!”
Anthony sneered meaningfully. “I'm afraid that won't work. Anastasia is the one the investors wantto see. If I replace her, won't I offend them? Miss Ainsley, even if you have a problem with Anastasia,don't stop me from getting rich.”
“Investors? Who are they?” Margaret was not convinced. “Between me, Edmond, and you, Mr.Lowry, the whole industry is in our hands, so what else is there to be afraid of?”
“We really can't help but be afraid of this person.” Anthony had just finished speaking when henoticed that Alexander was standing behind Margaret. Immediately, his demeanor changed, and hebegan to curry favor with him. “Mr. Griffith! You're here? Why didn't you say so? I would've gone topick you up myself!”
Margaret shivered with fear and turned around in shock, only to be instantly confronted withAlexander's dark eyes.
"A-Alexander?” Her voice trembled as she asked, “You really want to promote Anastasia? Did youknow that she—"
However, Alexander did not give her the opportunity to finish. “I don't need to learn about thewoman I like from someone else. I advise you not to speak out of line.”
Margaret silently swallowed, her chin slightly lifted up, and her eyes were full of fear.
There was no one in Tissote who didn't know about Alexander's reputation, but this was the firsttime she came into close contact with such a big shot, and even just one sentence from him wasenough for her to feel his crushing presence. Clearly, she and Anthony were just clowns in front ofmagnates like Alexander.
What terrified her even more was that Alexander's words undoubtedly confirmed the manyspeculations of the outside world—he was indeed going to pursue Anastasia. Hence, going againstAnastasia now was tantamount to going against Alexander and the whole of Smith Co., which wasequivalent to throwing straws against the wind.
Thinking of this, she desperately tried to keep herself calm and apologized, “I'm sorry, Mr. Griffith. Ididn’t know about your relationship with Anastasia before. I hope you'll be merciful and spare mefor offending you this time.” Margaret squeezed her fist tight, ready to kneel down and beg forforgiveness.
Alexander, however, did not make the effort to bother with her, and gritted out, “Scram!”
“Yes! I'm leaving now!" Margaret turned around and was about to run when Alexander called out toher.
"Stop right there.” He said eerily, “Don’t you understand what I just said? I told you to scram, not torun.”
Margaret closed her eyes and held her breath. Sure enough, Alexander was not that easy to dealwith. However, if she was not afraid of kneeling down, what else was there to be afraid of?Margaret immediately squatted down and lay down on the ground, holding her handbag in front ofher chest before she twisted her body and rolled toward the door crookedly.
Even Anthony couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Alexander's humiliating methods. As expected,Alexander was worthy of being the top boss in Cittadel as everything he did was so distinctive.
Just then, a staff member came to them from backstage. “Mr. Lowry, Miss White and Miss Jenningshave something they want to say to you in person.”
“I got it. You can go back to work. I'll be right there.” Saying that, Anthony respectfully bowed toAlexander and said, “Mr. Griffith, I'll be taking my leave to speak to Miss White.”
“Okay.” Alexander answered expressionlessly before he turned his gaze and began searching thescene for his daughter, thinking that it would be great if he could hug his daughter and watch hiswife record the program today.
Meanwhile, Anthony jogged all the way to the waiting room, where Winona and Anastasia had beenwaiting for a long time.
"Ah, Miss White, Miss Jennings, sorry to keep you waiting. Did you need me for something?”Anthony smiled ingratiatingly like a lapdog.
“Mr. Lowry, I suggest that you cross out Ekaterina from the list of foreign guests. It seems like shehas a habit of degrading others, so I don't think it's appropriate for her to appear on the bigscreen.” Elise went straight to the point.
"Huh? When did this happen? I have no knowledge of it.” Anthony made an innocent expression,then assured her solemnly, “Don’t worry, Miss White. I'll send someone to look into it right away.After confirming it, I'll do it according to what you said. You should change your attire and getready. I'll go deal with it now!”
After assuring her repeatedly, he slipped away.
Looking at his slippery figure, Winona and Anastasia tacitly looked at each other and said in unison,“He won't deal with it!"
The two of them exchanged glances and smiled.
Winona explained the reason. “In the past few years, Blitzy Entertainment has been suppressed byRushmore Entertainment, and it's rare for them to make a good variety show. As the boss, how canhe not keep an eye on the whole process? He obviously wants to make this dirty money with aguilty conscience.”
“I agree. However, whether or not he can spend the dirty money he earned depends on whether ornot he has the fortune! If he wants to play with fire, he must be prepared to bear theconsequences!”
Elise’s beautiful eyes flashed. They had already given them the opportunity, and if BlitzyEntertainment did not want to seize it, they couldn't blame her for giving Elliot and his family a biggift after her return.
Outside the door, Anthony had just turned the corner when he smiled smugly. So what if sheinsulted them? As long as she was popular enough to make money, it was fine. First, he had to haulthese two women away to start the live broadcast so that they would not be able to ask them tostop midway or they would be breaching the contract.
By then, even if the program could not go on, he had a large amount of penalties that would coverhis losses. He couldn't care less about how much the so-called embroidery culture was worth. Eitherway, he had to bring Blitzy Entertainment back from the dead this time!
