After she rolled out of bed, she walked toward the door and overheard Alexander’s phone call. “Things are going smoothly, President Griffith. The dirt on Maeve is now all over the internet. Other than my ‘contributions,’ many accounts, too, have appeared to post nasty stuff about her. Who would have thought she had undergone plastic surgery, and even worked as an escort before she grew famous? Most importantly, she’s exposed for selling drugs and evading tax, and those two alone are enough to earn her a life sentence!”

 

Cameron sounded rather ecstatic on the phone. On the contrary, Alexander simply blurted, “Good job.” “Government forces are now looking into her case. Young Master Alex, we don’t even need a week! Three days are enough to get her out of showbiz!” “Good.” Once he finished speaking, Alexander saw Elise walking out of her bedroom. “That’s all for now.

As she was about to start preparing the meal, she was surprised by how the apron was already on Alexander.

When she entered the dining room, she was surprised by Alexander’s presence. “Alex, why are you here?” The man slowly put down his cutlery and calmly countered, “What’s wrong with me visiting my girlfriend?” That’s… He’s right though… Madeline, having no comeback, somehow felt extremely displeased. All my effort
