Maxton's name appeared on the screen.
Natalie then quickly glanced at her manager to excuse herself.
The actress picked up her phone with a big silly smile flashing on her face.
With a sweet voice, she began, "Mr.Maxton! What a coincidence! I was just thinking about you.I didn't
expect you'd call me!"
On the other end of the line, Maxton did not fall for her trick as usual.
Getting straight to the point, he asked, "Who did you offend this time, Natalie?"
With a hint of frustration in his voice, he clarified how troublesome the matter was.
"Logan's women clothing brand had a good deal with the owner of the Girls’ Shop.But now, the clothing
brand is prohibited to sell its products in the app! The Girls’ Shop's manager said that you've offended
the company owner's friend!"
The clothing brand had just been negotiating with the Girls’ Shop owner well.
Although the shopping app was still developing compared to well-known e-commerce shopping
companies such as Amazon, eBay, and RVLY, its online engagement had consistently increased over
the past years.
Three years ago, Logan created the women's clothing brand.
Thanks to the support of the Jacobs family, the brand had been managed and promoted to build its
reputation.
But although L.J.Inc. had gained popularity, it was not a big brand.
It needed to launch and sell its clothing products in Girls' Shop to reach more customers and generate
sales.
Logan once thought that the clothing brand could be maintained for the following years.
He believed that it could be more successful in the future.
But it seemed to be going back to ground zero now.
L.J.Inc handled over a thousand shops for the clothing brand, but more than three hundred of them had
already been closed this year.
If they failed to reach their target sales, Charles would stop supporting Logan's business.
Since Logan was Maxton's younger brother, how could Maxton not worry? Natalie had been supported
by Maxton for so long.
Today was the first time she had heard him talk to her in such a cold tone.
"Mr.Maxton, that's..." Natalie stuttered in a panic.
She then argued, "That's not true! I didn’t do anything!"
She was telling the truth.
She had not offended anyone except Alice and Katherine.
But those two were not big shots, to begin with.
Alice and Natalie were both celebrities.
On the other hand, Katherine was just the chairman of Silverlight Entertainment.What did they have to
do with the Girls’ Shop's refusal?
"I don't care whether it's true or not, Natalie" Maxton replied indifferently.
"You have three days to apologize to them.If you don't, I'm afraid I'd have to stop supporting you.”
"But Mr.Maxton!" Natalie abruptly cried out.
"Please, listen to me..."
But Maxton had already ended the call, leaving her with nothing but a disconnected tone and a
warning.
Natalie bit her lower lip as she paced back and forth.
Seeing her panicking, Harriet immediately asked, "What happened? What did Mr.Maxton say?"
"He said that he would give me three days to apologize to someone I offended!" Natalie exclaimed.
Frustration contorted her face.
"But, darn it!" she cursed and added, "I don't even have the slightest idea who that person is!"
Harriet contemplated for a moment, but no name crossed her mind.
"Forget about it for a while" she advised and reminded, "We'll deal with it later.For now, we have to
catch the plane"
Just as she thought nothing else could ruin her day, Natalie bumped into Alice in the airport.
Alice had also flown back to Y City.
At this time, Alice was still oblivious of what Katherine had done.
The actress was in a good mood when she caught the conspicuous distress on Natalie's face.
Alice secretly rolled her eyes and asked with faked sympathy.
"Natalie! It seems like you're not feeling well.Are you alright?"
After posting and rebuking the two-faced bitch, Natalie, on Twitter, Alice scrolled down the 90
comments screaming the same opinion she had.
Reading it all totally made her day.
She knew that netizens were keen.
Although the netizens were bashing Natalie, she had to prove to Alice that she was not affected.
Natalie twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Oh, how thoughtful of you, Alice’’ Natalie replied with a fake smile.
It turned into a smirk as she made herself sound convincing.
"I'm feeling completely fine.Otherwise, I wouldn't arrive here on time.I guess I just got a little tired
walking too fast”
What a liar! Alice cursed deep down.She wanted to retort, but Helen pulled her aside just in time.
Alice turned her head to look at her manager.
"Alright, alright” Alice muttered, agreeing that it was best to calm down.
Just like that, she gracefully put on her sunglasses and ignored Natalie.
Her manager owed it to the tinted glasses that hid the sharp contempt in Alice's eyes.
Natalie silently sat there, staring sharply at Alice.
The former badly wanted to ask something but ended up keeping it to herself.
She had been competing with Alice for many years, and she had never admitted defeat.
Never in her life could she ever be such a loser! Meanwhile, Katherine drove back to her villa.
She was completely oblivious that what she had planned was working now.
All she minded at the moment was how the air was still cold during that sunny afternoon.
