Chapter 78
After the initial excitement, Violet said with a tinge of sympathy, “Poor Zenobia, I heard she got aconcussion and her face was scratched up so bad that she’s almost unrecognizable.”
Quintessa snorted dismissively, “Please, she had it coming. She messed with Miranda's guy. She'slucky Miranda didn’t do worse. You have no idea how much Jerome means to her.”
Violet prodded. “And yet you still? *
Quintessa shrugged nonchalantly, “Yeah, I flirted with Jerome. But chill, that guy? Not my type at all.Everything about Miranda, in my eyes, is trash”
Quintessa didn’t care for Jerome, but as Miranda's favorite, he was the perfect target for hervendetta against the Young clan. The most convenient way to hit them where it hurts.
In other words-yeah, I'm messing with your man. What are you gonna do about it?
Violet voiced her concern, “Aren“t you afraid Jerome will spill the beans to the Youngs about yourreturn?”
"What's there to fear?” Quintessa scoffed. “If Jerome wants to lose face, let him. He can go aheadand tell the Youngs he’s got the hots for me.”
“You're unbelievable.”
Violet thought to herself that in this lifetime, you could cross anyone, but never Quintessa. If so, itwould be a terribly painful mistake.
"What about Tyrone, then?” Violet asked, trying to shift the subject.
"He" Quintessa paused, “isn't much better than Jerome.”
After agreeing to star in Director Fitch's new film, “Shadows of the Past,” Violet signed the contractthat very day.
Meanwhile, Snow's music video hit a snag and was on hold, so Quintessa packed her bags andheaded to Zion City’s film studio to start shooting.
On the day she was leaving, Snow showed up at her place, just in time to catch Quintessa on herway out. “I'm off to Zion City for the shoot. Just let me know when you're ready to do your musicvideo, and I'll be back in no time,” Quintessa told him
Snow, looking a bit worn, nodded with a smile, “Sure thing. Don't go getting too famous on me andthen bail
A smirk played on Quintessa’s lips, “To star in God Snow's video? I'd do it for free.”
Violet gestured frantically from the side-they were running late for the flight.
Seeing Violet's pantomime, Snow said to Quintessa, “Take care, and good luck with the filming.”“Thanks,” Quintessa replied with a nod
As Quintessa and her assistant Violet stepped into the elevator, Snow massaged his temples. Hisphone started ringing-it was his agent, and he picked up at once.
"God Snow, what did you do to tick off York Financial Group?” the agent sounded frantic on thephone.
Chapter 78
Snow frowned, “The ones after me are from York Financial Group?”
“That's right. York Financial Group's CEO Kevin just visited Spark Entertainment to discuss a buyout”“I'll handle it. I'm heading there now”
Kevin returned from the unsuccessful meeting at Spark Entertainment and went straight to Tyrone’soffice Kevin dropped into a chair, “Man, why are you so set on acquiring those two? When I went tonegotiate with Spark's CEO today, do you know the price he quoted? Thirty percent above theircompany's market
value.”
Tyrone looked up from his computer screen, “Am I short on cash?”
Kevin hesitated, then shook his head, “Obviously not, but that extra thirty percent is a fortune. Evenif we're loaded, that's just burning money.”
Tyrone leaned back in his chair and said coolly, “Then why don't you just tell him, if he doesn't likethe price, we might as well take it by force.”
