Her Precious Baby

Chapter 39

“Angeline, just apologize to Mr. Golding.” Denise stalked over to Angeline right then on her sky-high stilettos. “I know you really wanted to win this competition, but how dare you get Mr. Golding’s daughter involved! Mr. Fuller, it’s against the rules for her to mess with the scripts. She should be disqualified!”

Gordon’s temple throbbed with frustration. “Mr. Golding, the competition is over. How should we proceed?” he asked Evander in a respectful tone.

“So, is it against the rules or not? Do you really need to bother me with such trivial matters?”

“Ah, I understand. Well, Angeline’s action did not meet the—”

“There’s nothing in the contract that states that I couldn’t change the script,” Angeline retorted sharply. “Besides, even if it really is against the rules, it isn’t my fault!”

It seemed as if Angeline had something more to say. She glared meaningfully at Denise.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Ms. Campbell, you’re accusing me of speaking nonsense, but I wouldn’t dare to make any false allegations in front of so many people. After all, I still want to be in this industry.” She turned to Evander and smiled lightly. “I have a friend who works in the publishing business. He sent me a video some time ago. I’d like to show it to you, Mr. Golding.”

Nancy handed Angeline’s phone to her. Angeline tapped a few buttons. Then she turned the screen to Evander.

It was a video of several screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation. It was evidence of Denise’s manager bribing several magazines to sabotage Angeline.

Evander gave the phone to Denise. “I need an explanation for this.”

“It’s not what it looks likes. Those screenshots are fake, Mr. Golding. Please don’t believe such lies,” Denise countered in her own defense. However, her face had drained of color, and her palms were damp with cold sweat.

She had not expected Angeline to investigate her. Didn’t I hide my tracks well enough?

“I have a recording as well. Would you like to watch it, Ms. Campbell?” Angeline pressed on in a calm voice. She would not allow Denise to get away with her lies.

Denise pursed her lips.

“There will be no need for that.” Evander threw Denise a disgusted look. “Angeline will be the ambassador of Starlight Jewelry.”
