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

Chapter 481: Brainless

But unfortunately, Alisa thinks all rich people are fools, and believes they’re easily manipulated.However, in reality, they’re not easily fooled at all, so Alisa searched and searched, but couldn’t find anyone with a discerning eye willing to help her.

During this time, she even approached Evan Chambers, who couldn’t comprehend where she got the courage to think that, as Paige Sterling’s cousin, he’d be ensnared by her.

In the end, Alisa even tried with Miles Morgan.

On the contrary, Miles found it interesting and agreed to Alisa’s date.

This made Alisa think she had found her chance.

Miles is close to Paige Sterling, so if she could break through Miles and use him to deal a heavy blow to Paige, she could eventually get to Penson, right?

Alisa was too confident in herself; she thought there wasn’t a man alive she couldn’t seduce.

Those men who rejected her simply hadn’t tasted her charm. If they did, they would regret today’s refusal.

And as for Miles Morgan, she was determined to win.

Alisa leaned into Miles, but he dodged out of the way, half-smiling.

"I heard you’ve been getting close to Julian Hawthorne. Now that Julian’s in trouble, if you love him so much, why aren’t you by his side, sharing his hardships?"

Alisa smiled bitterly, "Actually, there’s nothing between me and President Hawthorne. I just happened to save him once before, and he insisted on repaying me. I had no choice, but everyone misunderstood."

Miles looked at Alisa with even more disdain. She had tried so hard to destroy the couple’s relationship and seize the wife’s wealth. Now that Julian Hawthorne was in trouble, her so-called true love had become just an entanglement from Julian’s side.

This woman was truly disgusting.

"Is that so? But I heard that Julian Hawthorne hired someone to harm my Paige, and you were part of it."

Julian looked innocent, "Who told you that? How could I do such a thing? Was it Miss Sterling who told you? Miss Sterling has such a deep prejudice against me. How could I be that kind of person? Besides, if there’s any marital discord, dragging others into life-or-death situations is not an outsider’s business. Maybe Miss Sterling should reflect on herself..."

Saying that, she looked at Miles with gleaming eyes, "There was never anything between President Hawthorne and me. All along, the man I admired most has always been someone like President Morgan..."

Again, she leaned towards Miles, and he caught her wrist.

Just when Alisa thought he would pull her into his arms, Miles shoved her away with a disdainful expression.

"What makes you think a woman like you would interest me? I’ve seen beautiful women before; I’m not so desperate to settle for anything."

Alisa was indeed beautiful, but Miles lost all interest just thinking about her character and her dissolute private life.

Moreover, she was trying to steal Paige’s man, Paige’s company, and even wanted Paige dead.

He and Paige were on the same side; how could he align himself with someone like Julian Hawthorne and mix with a woman like this?

Miles said a few more scornful words to Alisa and then left.

Alisa’s face twisted with anger.

How dare that damned man treat her this way!

She would make him regret his actions today!

Alisa was at her wit’s end, and finally, The Tell Group couldn’t sustain itself and collapsed.

The Tell Group’s downfall was like a frog being slowly boiled, so it didn’t even cause much of an economic stir, nor did it even make the trending news.

Alisa couldn’t bear ending up with nothing and went to find Paige Sterling again.

She didn’t even know why she sought out Paige; just thinking of that name made her grind her teeth.

It was as if everything she’d suffered was Paige Sterling’s fault.

Paige agreed to meet with Alisa.

She wanted Alisa to know that she was never with Julian Hawthorne, because hearing Alisa talk about her and Julian’s love story would make her sick.

So when Alisa arrived at the place, she saw Paige Sterling and... Julian Hawthorne.

Alisa’s eyes widened.

Julian Hawthorne? Wasn’t he arrested? How could he be here?

Could it be that Julian Hawthorne found a way out?

Alisa’s eyes shimmered, and she suddenly shed tears, as if deeply in love with Julian Hawthorne.

"Julian, I just knew you would be safe. You don’t know how Miss Sterling treated me while you were gone. Sob, these days have been so tough for me. Julian, you must avenge me..."

As she spoke, she leaned into Julian’s embrace, but he sidestepped.

"Stay away from me."

Seeing Julian’s cold face, Alisa was deeply shocked.

She knew that for Julian to be out, he must have had to agree to some terms with Paige Sterling.

Maybe it meant cutting all ties with her.

But she was still unwilling to accept this. She had invested so much in this man.

She silently cried looking at Julian.

"Julian, after all we’ve been through, was it all fake?"

"It was real," Julian said, "but the one who was with you wasn’t me."

"What do you mean?"

Julian played a video on his phone, showing the interrogation of the fake Julian Hawthorne.

He confessed to everything; the sobbing man during the interrogation was not the confident Julian she adored.

Alisa was incredulous, "No, no, no, how could it be fake? How could it be fake?"

She thought she had this man of high status, believing herself to be the winner, but in reality, it was all a sham. The true love she assumed she had was just with an imposter.

"This can’t be true, Julian. Don’t joke with me. I know you love me. It must be Paige forcing you, making you give me up so she’d save you, right? Julian, tell me, as long as you say it’s fake, I’ll believe..."

Julian’s eyes remained cold, saying nothing.

Alisa, "Julian, I know, you don’t have to lie to me. I know your love for me. Don’t be afraid, I won’t let this woman threaten you. Let’s just get rid of her together, okay? She’s too vicious; she wants me dead, wants us apart. Let’s kill her, and then we can be together..."

Julian’s expression was icy, and he looked at Alisa without a trace of emotion.

But when he turned to Paige Sterling, his gaze involuntarily softened, "What do you plan to do next?"

Paige Sterling, "Since she’s implicated in military matters, let the military take her away."

Sure enough, after Paige finished speaking, two military officers came in to take Alisa away.

Alisa struggled, "No, Julian, save me, I love you. Everything I did was for you. If not for you, why would I do all this? You can’t be so heartless, you can’t watch me die..."

Julian, "..."

Alisa, "Julian, save me, I can help you, help you become a business mogul, help you stand at the top of the pyramid, just kill this vicious woman, and I’ll be yours!"

Julian coldly replied, "What would I want with you? To disgust myself?"

Alisa’s words just made people laugh.

If she had such skills, why not make herself the mogul?

There’s always someone incapable yet oblivious, believing themselves invincible while thinking everyone else is beneath them.

Even in defeat, they think it’s because they’re too kind or something.

Honestly, they must be out of their minds.
