The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!

Chapter 477: So Vicious

Alisa waited at the door for a while, but never saw Paige, and had to leave angrily.But she sent a text to Paige, asking her to meet.

Fearing Paige wouldn’t see her, she didn’t use her own name, but Julian Hawthorne’s.

She doesn’t believe it, Alisa really won’t see even Julian.

The reason she is being so excessive to Julian now is nothing but to force Julian to return to her side.

This foolish woman thinks her tactic works well, but doesn’t realize it only pushes her man further away.

She needs to let this woman know how to truly become a worthy support behind a man.

Paige saw the text, and she knew the sender was Alisa.

She has always refused to hand over Penson, and Jared refuses to hand over VastReach.

Alisa is truly anxious now.

Haha, maybe she should go out to meet Alisa, avoiding them for too long isn’t good, it’s better to give them some hope, let them believe that with a little effort, they can still get Penson, right?

So Paige went out with Wayne to meet Alisa.

When she arrived and saw it was Alisa, she smiled slightly.

"Turns out it’s really you who made the appointment, Miss Alisa, what is it now?"

Alisa’s gaze towards Paige was icy and disdainful, as if she were some high and mighty figure and Paige a mere ant surviving on her mercy.

Paige couldn’t fathom who gave Alisa such inexplicable confidence under these circumstances.

"Miss Sterling, why are you so surprised to see me? With what you’ve done, you should have expected me to demand an account from you, right? What surprises you?"

Paige found it amusing and asked with a smile, "I wasn’t aware I’ve done anything worth you coming to settle scores with me? Please enlighten me, Miss Alisa."

"Do you really need me to tell you? Are you so unaware of what you’ve done?" Alisa’s face was full of anger, as if Paige had committed some heinous crime.

Paige calmly took a sip of tea and countered, "Is it because I didn’t agree to divorce Julian? Or because I didn’t hand over Penson? Or because I didn’t persuade my father to hand over VastReach to you?"

Somebody scheming for others’ possessions yet so brazenly, this is truly the first time she’s seen it.

Who knows what kind of family upbringing would teach Alisa to be such an oddity.

"Miss Sterling, whether it’s VastReach or Penson, surely it’s your duty to hand them to President Hawthorne?"

Paige asked, bewildered, "Why would that be natural?"

"President Hawthorne is the son-in-law of the Sterling Family. He married you, so naturally all of Sterling’s possessions are his. If you don’t give VastReach to him, who else in the Sterling Family would you give it to? As for Penson, Miss Sterling, let me ask you this: without Julian, would Penson be where it is today? Aren’t you aware of your own limited ability? Penson rightfully belongs to Julian. If you were discerning, you would hand Penson over to President Hawthorne; that would be returning it to the rightful owner. Yet you stubbornly cling onto Penson, unwilling to let go. Do you actually think Penson will thrive in your hands without President Hawthorne like it did before? Aren’t you overly confident in yourself, Miss Sterling?"

Paige remained silent for a moment.

Everyone’s achievements in this life do not come easy.

Julian himself has never claimed he wanted VastReach and Penson, yet there someone else covets them first.

Paige could only muster an awkward yet courteous smile.

"Miss Alisa, you really are consistently presumptuous, now not only coveting my possessions but also my father’s. Why don’t you claim the whole world should be yours?"

Then Paige added somewhat thoughtfully, "It seems The Tell Group is really struggling, or else Miss Alisa wouldn’t be so desperate, ignoring face and willing to shamelessly cling onto a tenuous connection with VastReach and Penson."

Alisa retorted angrily, "Miss Sterling, mind your words, I am here for Julian!"

Indeed, she has no private motives; she, Alisa, is not that kind of person. Everything she does is for Julian.

"Miss Sterling, do you dare to deny Julian’s contributions to Penson? Don’t forget, Penson’s headquarters is still in the Hawthorne Group’s building now. You may have ability in research and development, but do you claim you have managerial skills for the company? Without President Hawthorne maintaining it for you, I’m afraid Penson would have been devoured by Apex long ago, leaving nothing behind, right?"

Paige nodded, "Of course, my husband’s contributions helped establish Penson, but what does that have to do with you? Do you claim Penson’s success is also credited to you?"

Alisa said, "I told you already; I’m here for Julian. If you don’t think of him, I will think for the man I love. I will claim everything that belongs to him and give him the best the world can offer. If it weren’t for him, do you think I would come to see you? Do you think I would covet Penson? Miss Sterling, you may value those external possessions, but not everyone does. To me, my love is worth far more than those things."

She raised her chin high, her face full of pride, "For Julian, I will go forward without hesitation; this is why he values me. If Miss Sterling truly wants Julian to come back to you, you must stop doing these annoying things. Your actions only push Julian further away from you."

Paige touched her brow, "Since you love him and are willing to do anything for him, wanting to give him the best, then rely on your own abilities to build him a kingdom. Let him know your devotion. Why come to steal from me? What does it mean to steal and offer borrowed flowers as Buddha offerings? Are you using love as a shield to shamelessly claim what doesn’t belong to you, Miss Alisa?"

Alisa’s gaze turned cold, feeling no wrong in her actions, "I truly underestimated Miss Sterling. It’s clearly your fault, yet you stand so self-assured in your justification. No wonder President Hawthorne can’t even bear to look at you now."

Paige, "..."

Alisa, "I know you want to win Julian back now. You know he listens to me. As long as you hand Penson over to Julian and persuade your father to step down and let Julian take over VastReach, then I promise to convince Julian to return home more often and be gentle with you..."

Trading two companies for a false Julian’s gentleness, is she insane?

Paige looked at Alisa, laughing, "It’s my fault, for not letting The Tell Group collapse early, forcing Miss Alisa to this extent, disregarding everything to become the third party, shamelessly scheming for another household’s wife’s property. Now I, as the legitimate wife, need you, a mistress, to show pity for me, sigh..."

Alisa’s expression suddenly changed, looking incredulously at Paige, "Miss Sterling, what do you mean?"

Could it be that the situation with The Tell Group was orchestrated by Paige?

Where did Paige gain such power?

Right, Paige lacks ability, but the authorities have it.

The collapse of The Tell Group started when she offended Paige and was taken away by the authorities.

This malicious woman has been dealing with her since then. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

How hateful! She even pitied Paige, intending to advise Julian to be gentle with Paige.

Such a malicious woman, how could she deserve Alisa’s kindness?
