"Will you say yes or no?" Emily took the envelope and opened it directly. The money inside was
showed, which seemed to attract people speechlessly.
With just a glance, Melinda drank up the tea in her cup and looked at Emily with a teasing smile. "Save
the money for yourself. After the press conference is over, it's not easy for you to make money."
Those who understood one best would always be one's enemies.
Melinda didn't know well about Emily, but she had a point. Emily was arrogant especially in front of her
and wouldn't give up easily.
All these unusual behaviors today only meant that something bad would happen to her in the press
conference.
There must be a special connection between Emily and Sandy. Melinda put down the tea cup leisurely,
and then stood up and said politely, "Thank you for your hospitality today, Miss Bai. I have something
else to do, so I'm leaving."
Melinda ignored Emily, pushed open the door of the room and left straight away. Emily was sitting on
the seat, looking a little lost. Melinda's words alerted her.
She began to regret being involved in it. It was good to watch the fire from the other side of the river.
She had made herself into an aggressive arsonist. Now the truth under the smog was sensed, and her
situation was more and more dangerous.
Knowing that the accident was related to Emily, Melinda was heavy hearted again. She was afraid that
something bad would happen before the press conference.
After thinking for a while, Melinda went straightly to Victor's office after she went back to the company.
Seeing that, the secretary and the others didn't have to ask her and directly let her enter the office.
Victor was dandiacal, but responsible for dealing with things that should be dealt with his heart and
soul. He was concentrating on a pile of documents, with a pair of glasses.
"What are you doing here, Melinda?" The door was pushed open, and Victor raised his head
subconsciously. Seeing that it was Melinda, he stood up from his seat and threw the glasses on the
bridge of his nose to one side.
"Today, Emily came to me. She talked about the press conference tomorrow. I have a feeling that she
has something to do with the incident," Melinda spoke out her guess, and then told Victor about the
conversation in the tea house in detail.
Victor didn't know much about the entertainment circle, but he had heard about Emily, for a reason
called Melinda.
"She is picking on you?" Victor had privately prepared the words before he asked. He had a clear
understanding of the people and things around Melinda. One of the most important figures was Emily.
It could be said that the reason why Melinda was in such a bad situation was because of Emily.
"What? I suppose so." Melinda had some doubts to Victor's conjectures, and then frankly admitted it.
She simply thought that she was the victim of the matter, no matter who first thought of it, and that she
must be targeted by someone else.
However, she didn't notice that Victor seemed to know a lot about the things around her.
"Deep down in the entertainment circle. Emily is mixed up there. Of course, she is quite capable. But
don't worry too much. Everything is well prepared this time. Let's wait for the press conference,"
Victor comforted her. In fact, Melinda had been hurt by Emily for many times. It was normal for her to
be panicked.
The shadow of Emily was above Melinda's head.
At this time, Melinda also realized that she was over reacted. She stood aside with some
embarrassment, looking around, and tried to change the topic. "I'm sorry to interrupt your work. If
there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
As soon as Melinda finished saying that, without waiting for an answer, she left the office as quickly as
she could as if she had done something wrong. Looking at the direction in which Melinda had left,
Victor could not help but smile helplessly.
Although he had comforted Melinda that nothing would happen to her, Victor still exhorted his secretary
to go to the public relations department and hand over some tasks. Then he sorted out the documents
he would need the next day.
Emily returned home in a state of distraction. When she arrived home, she found Sandy was waiting for
her on the sofa. Full of anxiety, she stood up from her seat all of a sudden and asked, "How is it
going?"
Emily had told Sandy that she came to meet Melinda today. That was why Sandy chose to wait here.
In a day, things didn't get any progress, and Sandy completely lose her temper. She was like a follower,
waiting for the verdict from God.
But all of these was unbearable.
"She didn't say yes." At the mention of Melinda, Emily threw her bag onto the sofa with an expression
of viciousness. Then she lay down as if she was exhausted.
What Melinda had said in the tea house echoed in her ears like a magic spell.
Thinking of that, Emily's fingernails plunged into the fabric couch.
"She didn't agree?!" Sandy shouted at Emily. Her face turned pale at once. If Melinda didn't say yes, it
meant that the negotiation was a failure. The press conference would go on tomorrow, and then she
would be over.
"Are you crazy?"
Sandy's loud voice hit Emily's eardrum. She covered her ears and discontentedly glanced at the rude
woman. Sandy panicked and just stared at her.
She was like a soulless puppet.
"We can't negotiate with Melinda. We have to do something on the day of the conference to ruin it,"
Emily said fretfully. Playing tricks in the press conference was the worst way, after all, Victor had made
a cost this time. Before the press conference, outsiders were not allowed to enter the banquet hall,
even if the people in the hotel.
"How about we make Melinda unable to attend the press conference?" Sandy's mind was full of the
plots in novels, and she couldn't help but say. Emily rolled her eyes at her.
Nothing bad would happen to Melinda in that day. Otherwise, even if she did not have evidence, those
people would still accuse Sandy of doing that because of being afraid, though this was the truth.
"Does it work? But we can't enter the press conference now. What should we do? Shall we run away?"
Sandy was as anxious as a cat on a hot pan. Finally she sat aside weakly and spoke out the idea.
This was undoubtedly the worst idea. She had accepted her fate to think that Melinda could turn over,
and she would be more miserable than Melinda had been.
She couldn't accept the result at all. She had some money with her and could live a comfortable life
abroad.
By the way, she could write anonymously so that she could support herself. As for her family, she had
long abandoned them.
"Sandy, what a loser you are! You even think about escaping before things happen." Emily sneered. It
was impossible for her to retreat without a fight. At this time, Emily seemed to have calmed down.
"Do you have a better solution?" Sandy said unhappily. She didn't want to act like this, but the pressure
by being pressed step by step made her panic.
Tapping the pillow with her fingers, Emily's face was hard to be seen. Sandy almost thought she was
thinking about her idea.
"It's the stupidest way, isn't it?" Emily said with a sneer. Although Sandy felt ashamed to say so, she
stared at Emily angrily. If she couldn't do well, she wouldn't be alone.
Sandy's burning eyes made Emily a little worried. The bent fingers gradually stretched out. "I think of a
person who can be used."
In Emily's mind, a woman worked in Victor's company, who had helped her before, was a person who
took money to do anything.
Sandy did not know whether she should believe Emily or not, but this was her last hope.
It took Emily a long time to find the number. She dialed it and it was answered after a long time. The
voice was hoarse like a throat being cut by a knife. Hearing this, Sandy could not help frowning.
"Hi, Michelle Yu. It's been a long time. Do you remember me?"
Emily's tone had resumed her goddess image in front of everyone. She did not feel strange at all about
the strange voice of Michelle. She just greeted her as usual.
It seemed that the person on the other end of the phone was her friend whom she hadn't seen for a
long time.
"What do you want me to do for you?" At this time, Michelle was hiding in the washroom of the lounge.
She put her hand on the phone and whispered. Every time she received Emily's phone call, she was
always very careful.
Because she knew that she was going to do something dark, so she didn't want others to know.
Emily sighed in her mind, 'she is a smart man who doesn't talk too much. She is a straightforward
person, but this kind of person is often the most terrifying.'
It was what Jonas had told her before. Some people were unknown to others, not because they were
ordinary, but because they knew how to hide and find the best opportunity for themselves.
This was just how Michelle was. She was just an ordinary employee in the company, but she had
helped Emily to trouble Melinda many times secretly and no one had found out that.
"At the same price as the last time, I will give you half of the deposit, and then give you another half
after you finish the task. This time, what you want to do is very simple. You just need to format
Melinda's computer."
Michelle didn't know why Emily was so mean to Melinda, but she always did it as long as she had the
money. However, she was a little hesitant this time. Although she had not been exposed for several
times, she felt that she was on the edge of danger.
But what Emily offered was quite tempting. Thinking that if she could do one thing for her, the money
she got would be more than all her salary for many years, Michelle agreed.
The next day was the press conference. According to the requirements of the public relations
department, Melinda changed into a formal suit, with a light make-up on her face, and her hair was tied
into a ponytail falling behind the head. A typical capable style.
The press conference was to be held at half past ten. Melinda went to the company first to sort out the
documents needed, and then went to the hotel with Victor. As for the site of the conference, the public
relations department had already been busy with it.
