Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
“By the way, this woman used to have short hair, but I’m not sure when she started to wear a wig and have a pointy nose. I heard she had plastic surgery done.”
This was what the HR manager had discovered from his investigations at Kaleidoscope. As for her specific whereabouts, he could only assume that she followed Song Xin’s schedule.
After all, how was anyone to know where she went in private?
“As for the bag you asked me to investigate, it is from the latest limited edition global commemorative release by Valentino. There is no more than 5 in the entire world, so the chances of having the same bag as someone else is slim.”
After hearing the manager’s words, Emma thought about the situation in detail and asked, “When did Duan Jinghong start wearing a wig?”
“Only a few days ago. If I remember correctly, it was around the time when Wren held her p**ss conference.”
No wonder when Wren came to the office, she couldn’t recognize the person she was looking for.
Even a clever rabbit knew to make three entrances to its burrow[2], let alow a cunning fox.
“Everything that happened today, just pretend it didn’t happen. Don’t let anyone know that I asked about Duan Jinghong.”
“Don’t worry, Madam, I’ll keep it a secret.”
Emma nodded her head and waved the manager off. However, her exp**ssion did not look pleased. If her existence made Song Xin sense hostility, how did Jordyn provoke her? Jordyn’s leg was almost amputated because of an aggressive dog. Worst of all, Duan Jinghong had used a young child to achieve it…
Duan Jinghong actually had the heart to use such a young child!
“Fletcher will naturally deal with Jordyn’s incident. What I want to know is, who provoked Wren…” Eric said without lifting his head. However, Emma managed to hear a slight trace of danger in his voice.
Emma did not ask further into the matter. She knew what Wren had experienced the night before she surrendered to the police even though she didn’t hear it from Eric himself.
If Duan Jinghong was actually involved, the man sitting in the office would never allow her to live in peace…
Since Duan Jinghong worked for Song Xin, Song Xin obviously knew about the entire matter. In fact, there was a huge possibility that she was the instigator.
Someone seemed to be challenging this Eric’s authority, so he gave Fletcher a phone call, “Create a problem for every single one of Song Xin’s upcoming projects.”
…
Song Xin had no idea that she had already become a suspect for Emma. Instead, she was still dreaming of surpassing Emma in a few months. She was a winner in many aspects and enjoyed looking down on people, but it didn’t mean she’d always be number one.
After Fletcher received Eric’s phone call, he was a bit surprised. He had no idea how Song Xin had angered Eric.
Even so, he still did as told.
That night, Song Xin was supposed to appear on a talk show. The talk show was one that was enjoyed by fans from all over the world, so it was a great opportunity for her to accumulate popularity and fame.
But, what Song Xin did not expect at all was that she obviously participated in the recording but her appearance on the camera…
…was minimal!
What happened? She was currently famous. Were the producers blind?
After the recording, Duan Jinghong went to look for the producer. At first, her tone was very polite, “Sir, I wonder if Song Xin has offended you in any way?”
“Nope,” the 40-something-year-old producer shook his head.
“Then…don’t you think her appearance on the camera has been too scarce?”
“Oh, are you complaining that it’s too small of an amount? Then, we might as well cut it out completely,” the producer said before he walked off without even looking into Duan Jinghong’s eyes.
Duan Jinghong was so angry she felt like she was going to cough up blood. But, the man was a top-class producer; no matter how brave she was, she wouldn’t dare to argue with him. Unless, of course, Song Xin no longer wanted to survive in the industry.
Yet, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t accept what had happened!
After a while, Duan Jinghong returned to Song Xin’s side and explained everything that had happened to her. However, Song Xin did not appear angered at all. She simply asked, “Did you mention my family background?”
“He didn’t give me the chance.”
“Give Kaleidoscope a call and speak to Fletcher!”
Song Xin was undoubtedly talented. In fact, her talent wasn’t mediocre. But unfortunately, she wasn’t very modest about it.
Even at times like this, in the middle of the night, if she wanted to see Fletcher, she had to know where he was and he had to deal with her issues immediately.
But, of course, Fletcher was at the hospital and his phone had been switched off; he had predicted that Song Xin would come looking for him. So, Song Xin diverted her call to Luke instead. However, Luke was in the middle of driving Eric and Emma home. As soon as he heard the call, he pulled to the side and picked up the phone.
“Assistant Luke…our Song Xin was treated badly tonight, Kaleidoscope needs to deal with it.
Luke needed to drive, so it wasn’t very convenient for him to chat on the phone. However, Emma overheard what Duan Jinghong had said, so she instructed, “Hand the phone to me. You can continue driving.”
Luke immediately handed the phone to Emma. After glancing at Eric, Emma asked in a lowered voice, “How has she been treated badly?”
“You are?”
“I would like to know who taught you the rules? How could you skip Fletcher and directly contact the President?” Emma’s voice was calm, but it carried a sense of authority.
“I…”
“How much of a big shot is Song Xin for her to think that she can get the attention of the president?”
After listening for a bit, Duan Jinghong finally recognized the voice as Emma’s, so she calmly responded, “Mrs. Roberts, you are just an artist at Kaleidoscope. Don’t tell me the president asked you to answer the phone on his behalf because Kaleidoscope is just a toy for you to play with?”
In other words, she was telling Emma that she had no right to interfere with her.
“If Eric answers the phone, your fate will only get worse…” Emma replied honestly.
“What has that got to do with you?”
Emma sneered as she handed the phone to Eric. But, Eric did not even take a glance at the phone and simply instructed, “Tell her boss to come to my office tomorrow. What an unruly creature!”
[1] Author refers to Jinghong as Song Xin’s assistant in some chapters and manager in other chapters. I’m not sure if it is a mistake, but I am assuming she plays both roles.
[2]Know how to cover all bases.
On the other side of the phone, Duan Jinghong’s face turned pale…
She obviously sensed Eric’s warning…
If Kaleidoscope could raise Song Xin to new heights, they could also drag her back down. This was the almighty power that Eric had. He could give someone the best, as long as they didn’t challenge his authority.
Hence why the artists at Kaleidoscope all respected and feared Eric at the same time.
Duan Jinghong no longer dared to act impulsively, in fear that she would ruin Song Xin’s future. So, she quickly swallowed back her anger.
Luckily, she did not make this phone call in the presence of Song Xin. Otherwise, the situation would have gone out of hand.
After returning to the artist’s van, Duan Jinghong looked at Song Xin and comforted, “Fletcher said that he’d look into it tomorrow.”
“Can’t he do it tonight?”
“You’re well aware that his wife…”
“Yes, she was injured by me!” Song Xin did not say any more, she simply closed her eyes to get some rest. Duan Jinghong assumed that she’d forget about the entire matter. But, nice and early the next morning, Song Xin dragged Duan Jinghong to Fletcher’s office, sat in his chair, and asked, “What was up with the talk show last night?”
“Don’t they know my identity?”
Fletcher was under Eric’s instructions, so, of course, he knew what Song Xin was referring to. Hence, he curved his l*ps upwards and asked, “What identity?”
