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

Chapter 478: Floating on Air

Alisa glared angrily at Paige Sterling, "Paige, what grudge do I have against you that you are so scheming towards me?"Is it just because she’s beautiful, and Paige is wary of her looks, afraid that Julian would eventually fall in love with her, so she’s striking first?

Paige had never seen someone so guilty blaming others; wasn’t it Alisa who had always been plotting against her?

And now she’s playing the innocent victim, where is her conscience?

"Miss Alisa, calm down, would you? The reason I targeted you, wasn’t it because you provoked me first? You haven’t skimped on your tricks against me, have you? Now you’ve simply lost, and if you lose, you should accept your defeat. Why act like a sore loser, right? Or does Miss Alisa think that if you scheme against me, I should just obediently stand there and let you do it to be considered kind?"

Not very smart, yet such elaborate fantasies?

But some people’s logic is just that bizarre, always thinking whatever they do is right, but when others do the same thing, it’s an injustice to them, it’s wrong.

Truly considering oneself the center of the universe.

Alisa suppressed her anger; this woman had completely infuriated her. If this woman didn’t still have some use, she would have eliminated this troublesome woman right now!

"Paige Sterling, do you think that just because you brought down The Tell Group, I’ve truly lost? You think you can beat me? You’re deluding yourself!"

Alisa sneered, her face vicious, reducing her beauty significantly.

"Before you were married, you relied on your father; after marrying, you rely on Julian; now you rely on the military. You’ve always depended on others. What achievements have you accomplished yourself? What makes you so proud? A woman like you dares to compete with me? Truly overestimating your capabilities."

Paige looked at Alisa’s frenzied state, her expression calm.

After a while, she said, "If thinking this way makes you feel better, then I have nothing to say. But I still believe there are plenty of smart people in the world. Miss Alisa should listen more to what others say about her, and not always live in her own world, or you’ll miss a lot."

Alisa didn’t want to waste any more words with Paige, "I’ll ask Miss Sterling one last time, are you really unwilling to hand over Penson and VastReach?"

Paige, "Unwilling. If you have the ability, come and take them. This way, I can see Miss Alisa’s exceptional talents."

"Don’t you know that acting like this will only cause a rift between you and your husband? Do you really want things to become irreparable between you two?"

Paige, "I fear nothing. If you want to deal with me, bring it on. I’m waiting."

"Fine, I’ve given you advice, but if you regret it later, don’t blame me!"

Alisa finished speaking and left aggressively.

She had given Paige the opportunity; if Paige didn’t seize it, she had no one to blame!

Alisa sneered; she was just waiting for the moment Paige dies at Julian’s hand.

Moreover, she wanted Paige to know before her death that the one who wanted her dead was Julian, letting her die in pain and despair. Only then could she appease the hatred in her heart.

Alisa returned to her car and called Julian Hawthorne.

"I see she’s still obsessed, unwilling to hand over Penson. We have already been lenient towards her, yet she insists on a dead end. Since that’s her choice, you needn’t show any more mercy to her."

On the other side, Julian sighed, "I understand."

Alisa added, "After the deed is done, you should also see her off on her last journey. Don’t let her leave this world too lonely."

"Alright, I’ll personally see her off, to ensure no regrets linger in her life."

Alisa hung up the call, a cold smile appearing on her face.

Paige Sterling, your days of arrogance end here.

Alisa knew it wasn’t that simple to kill Paige, but Julian had mentioned that lately, there seemed to be no one protecting Paige besides Wayne Wright.

With that, the action became much simpler — they could eliminate Wayne along with Paige.

And they could stage it as an accident, leaving no clues for anyone to suspect foul play.

In this way, Paige would be dead without incident, and Penson and VastReach would fall into Julian’s hands.

Of course, they would also fall into hers.

She and Julian had long since become indistinguishable from each other.

Paige, wittingly or not, vacated the position of Julian’s wife. From now on, she and Julian could be openly together without anyone daring to gossip.

This meeting with Paige, Alisa had planned with Julian.

So the location chosen was remote, easy to act on.

If Paige had been willing to heed Alisa’s advice and hand Penson over to Julian, things would have been easier.

If she didn’t appreciate it, then she wouldn’t be coming back.

Therefore, when Wayne drove halfway, Julian’s men appeared.

A large truck drove head-on and, upon seeing the sedan, crashed directly into it.

At that speed, it could completely smash the car into a metal pancake.

Julian watched not far away, seeing Paige’s car being hit and deformed by the truck.

And the truck drove off without a backward glance.

Julian looked at the deformed car with an expression of mingled excitement and regret.

Excitement because with Paige dead, his objective could be fulfilled.

Regret because such a beauty as Paige, he never had the chance to possess.

Julian got out and walked over to check things out; he didn’t want Paige having any chance of survival. So, if Paige and Wayne weren’t dead, he would ensure they were.

There were no surveillance cameras nearby, so if both of them died, the perpetrator couldn’t be found, and this incident would end inconclusively.

Yet, when Julian walked up to the car with excitement, he discovered it was empty.

Julian’s face suddenly changed.

How could there be no one?

Could they have been thrown out?

While Julian was taken aback, Paige’s lazy voice sounded from behind him.

"Looking for me?"

Julian turned abruptly to see Paige standing behind him unharmed, a look of shock on his face, "You, you, you..."

Paige raised an eyebrow, "Want to ask how I survived, right?"

Paige clicked her tongue twice, "You people, really, don’t know to understand your enemy? Making a move without knowing your adversary, failure is only natural."

"What is going on? How did you escape?"

When the truck hit, Paige and Wayne were clearly in the car!

Paige said, "Did you forget what I do? The mecha was born in my hands a year ago. Why would you still think I’m just a sitting duck waiting for you to kill? When you’re smug, can’t you at least acknowledge other people’s abilities?"

It must be said, Julian had also been flattered to an inflated ego by Alisa.
