My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1785

Charles finally realized the benefits of having a woman in his life. From now on, he would have more options when it came to choosing roles. This was a good thing.

Checking the time, Clement quickly got to work, eager to move forward. They had to strike while the iron was hot.

…

An hour later, Thelma still looked pale in the apartment, disbelief clear on her face.

"It hasn't been easy for her to get where she is today, and she's not the kind of person who loses her sense of reason. How could she think of using such a method to harm me?" Thelma said, still shocked.

"Jealousy can cloud people's judgment," Charles replied. "With the recent variety show airing, you've been in the spotlight.

"Her darker side was exposed, and she probably didn't want you to rise in popularity. Jealous of your success, she tried to sabotage you. But she didn't expect us to blow the lid off this. Now, she's probably regretting it."

Thelma sighed. "She'll likely be blacklisted now, won't she?"

To ruin her career just to harm someone wasn't worth it.

"Of course! Who would work with someone with such a tarnished reputation?"

In the past few years, many celebrities had been blacklisted for various reasons, and none had made a successful comeback in the industry.

Thelma seemed lost in thought.

"Let's not talk about her anymore. What do you want for dinner?" Charles asked.

At Martin Group, near the entrance, Beata flicked her long curls over her shoulder, scanning the towering office building's main doors. Many employees had already left for the day.

She came today to represent her company in discussions with Joe, and after the meeting, she decided not to leave immediately. Instead, she wandered to a café across the street for a coffee break.

She checked her watch and calculated the perfect time to catch him before walking back to wait.

During their earlier conversation, Beata had noticed something different about Joe's attitude—he had been more receptive, even slightly warmer. This was her chance to build on that.

But the wait stretched on. One by one, employees left, but Joe was nowhere in sight. Beata frowned slightly.
