Chapter 80 

Grayson Hill was imprisoned because a large sum of money funded by the government haddisappeared.

Zac actually set up such a mystery, causing the people of South Prefecture to think that he still hadsuch a large sum of money, so they signed the contract.

Perhaps the people of South Prefecture were purposefully luring him into the bait to charge him with acrime? He, like his father, was most likely on the line.

Zac actually used his innocence, and even the second half of his life, to gamble on the possibility ofturning his life around.

Anika did not understand why he had such an obsession at that time.

Zac didn't want to bring up his mental state with her any longer.

He chuckled and said, "Negotiate.You must baffle the opposing party with your trump card"

Anika actually didn't agree with his gambling, but since the matter had already passed, she could onlysigh helplessly, "Okay, you exchanged nothing for something.Have you ever pretended that anegotiation had failed and that you were going to compromise?"

"Anika, swearing is not good." Zac said.

"Then what if the other party refuses to let it go?" she asked Zac raised his eyebrows and patted her onthe head.

"I'm still here right? What about you? You have a very expensive joint property.‘If she really lackedmoney, would he just sit idly by and ignore it?’ Anika thought.

Seeing her choking, Zac said casually, "Mrs.Hill, I'm hungry” Anika didn't keep hesitating any longer.

She rose from the sofa and made her way to the kitchen.It was too late by then.Anika rummagedthrough the fridge for ingredients and planned to make him instant noodles.

The water in the pot was already boiling.

Someone wrapped around her waist from behind as she was about to put the noodles in.

Anika turned her head to look at the man.

She smirked and said, "Don't bother me Zac.I still have to prepare dinner.The ‘culprit’ curled his lipsand lowered his head to look at the boiling water.

"Don't worry" he said, raising his brows.

In the next split second, his lips were sealed, and he launched an attack on her lips.

"Uh, Anika muttered.

Zac switched off the stove.

Anika’s head became clouded because of the man’s deliberate provocation.

She couldn't lean against him, so she had to support herself in his arms on both sides of the platform.

He finally let go after some time.

"Didn't you say you were hungry?"

Anika asked, her face flushed as she looked at the cold water in the pot.

She looked at him, not hungry.

Zac smiled and raised his brows at her.

"Oh, I was just a little hungry, but I'm already full.’ November flew by.

Despite the hot and dry climate of the Misty Bridge, it was still cold in the autumn.

Anika accompanied Zac to the charity party on Saturday, wearing a relatively thick long-sleeved dressfrom her closet.

Despite this, she revealed a smooth calf.

An icy breeze blew through her hair as Zac dragged her out of the car.

Anika felt that the life of an artist was difficult when she saw the beautiful and cold female stars not faraway.

Today's charity event is the annual event of the fashion group MILY, which was recently gained bymultinational Coter Inc.

Besides entertainers, MILY had invited several partners from its parent company to attend today'sevent.

Oliver Cooper had spent the previous two years expanding his overseas territory.

He had business contacts with Coter, so they naturally invited him.

Although Anika was accompanying Zac, Natie informed her that there was also Macy Olson, the ownerof Nevers, a recently popular domestic skincare brand that she had been eyeing for a long time, at theparty.

She knew that Japanese and German companies now had more than half of the market for medical-American ingredients and that T&D, which once had a place, had gradually abandoned that business.

It was also the first time Anika and Kayden disagreed about the direction of T&D's development.

She later backed out of T&D's business decision.

The brand of medical institutions and cosmetic skincare is the purchaser of medical and beautybiological materials.

Nevers was one of the international first-line skincare brands sourced from Japan and Germany.

Nevers was the first client she was excited about and felt she had a good chance of winning.

Although it was impossible for them to collaborate directly, they could use this opportunity to contactMacy Olson.

The fabulous table settings contained countless desserts in the dazzling banquet hall, with champagnenext to them.

Except for the MILY staff in charge of controlling the venue, everyone in the banquet hall was chattingbefore the banquet officially began.

When Anika noticed people surrounded Zac, she approached him and explained her plan.

Before letting go of her hand, the man looked down at her and gave her a simple order.

Anika then walked to the other side of the banquet hall, taking a glass of champagne from the serverbeside her.

This scene caught the attention of others, eliciting whispers.

"This is the new wife? She looks really good"

"It's no surprise that she's able to marry the president of LH Company Zac.” Even among celebrities,her beauty outshines everyone else's.

"Don't offend the wrong person.Maxine lost hundreds of millions of variety shows she sponsored.LucyCooper is now ready to turn the scenes behind the scenes.She's not someone she can afford to offend,one person said.

These were all rumors circulating in the industry, but she felt they weren't necessarily false.

Being cautious was always a good idea.

"Maxine could not appear in the variety shows, which were worth over ten million dollars, because ofher, and Lucy Cooper is preparing to work behind the scenes.We simply cannot afford to offend her"said a not-so-famous online celebrity.

After saying that, the actress looked at Maxine and Harper Mcgowan who were sitting in the front row.

‘Those two are meant for each other, she thought to herself.

For some people, becoming famous was because of chance and their hard work, while others achievefame from their patrons.

Many of these patrons were extremely generous.

One well-known example is Bailey Hunter who was extremely generous to all of his girlfriends, even ifhe changed them like he changes clothes.

Aside from houses and cars, he would give each girl he dated the opportunity to star in a televisionseries.

Many people in the entertainment industry attempted to rely on themselves to develop their abilities,but many preferred to take shortcuts.

People who want to climb the social ladder cost far more than the wealthy who can throw them a fewopportunities to become famous.

There are plenty of people who want to hook up with President Oliver Cooper, but I haven't heard ofanyone who has really succeeded.

Harper Mcgowan is one of the most beautiful celebrities.

Although she entered President Hill's room through Bailey Hunter in the evening, she did not earn aplace.

Others said Harper Mcgowan had been thrown out that night, but Gossipers weren't sure if that wastrue or not.

Anika had no idea she had become the subject of someone else's conversation.

Yuna had already led her to Macy Olson.

Yuna is a well-known photographer in the industry who had worked with a variety of brands.

Her works were eye-catching, and her connections were extensive.

Anika mentioned Macy to Yuna on Viber last night.

Yuna understood Anika's standpoint and offered to help introduce them.

Yuna and Macy Olson already knew each other, so she gave them a brief introduction with a smile.

"Ms.Olson, nice to meet you,’ Anika said, reaching out her hand.

Macy Olson is a typical career woman.

She has a clear vision, clear market knowledge, and excellent marketing skills.

She was 30 years old and had created their own skincare brand, which had been successfully listed forfour or five years.

Macy Olson held Anika's hand and said with a smile, "Ms.Anika is so beautiful.Yuna, didn't tell me, Ithought that she was a newbie artist from some company.’

Macy Olson was a naturally beautiful person who could hold herself until now.

"In fact, I should refer to Miss Macy as my upperclassman.’ Anika gave a bright smile.

"When I was a grad student, Professor Cruise was my professor.He even referred to you.’

Although she only wanted to connect at first, she could not locate Macy Olson without success.

Back then, she was the protege of their professor, so calling her upperclassman was not incorrect.

Macy Olson, who heard this, opened her mouth in surprise, "You are Nika?"

"That's me."

Anika nodded and smiled.

"What a coincidence."

Macy Olson avoided formalities and sounded sincere.

"I am too preoccupied with my work, and my schedule was too tight to visit professor every time I wentabroad.I am embarrassed “ She took out her phone after she finished speaking and said, "Type in yourViber account.I will contact you frequently in the future because I am your upperclassman."

Anika and Macy Olson exchanged contact information after she achieved her goal.

After a few minutes of casual conversations, she noticed the assistant approach Macy.

Anika smiled and said, "Macy is preoccupied.I'm going to use the powder room"

Unexpectedly, as they were saying their goodbyes to Macy, a familiar face stopped them.
