Chapter 658
All of a sudden, a girl could be heard crying near Mila’s room. By the time Mila got out to see what the commotion was about, a few others had already left their rooms to see what was wrong. Mila and the others simply followed behind them. “What’s wrong? What happened?” asked one of the girls present. “I… I went out with my housemate earlier and when I got back, I realized that the diamond ring that my boyfriend got for me was missing! It’s a very expensive ring and I can’t find it anywhere!” said the girl with a wail. Hallie had heard the racket from next door and she too was now present. “Don’t cry, Xyleena. You could have just misplaced it. You know how careless you can be. Maybe you accidentally left it somewhere?” suggested Hallie. “But Hallie, I would never misplace something so important! I’m always particularly careful with that six thousand dollar ring!” cried out Xyleena. “How odd! Well, how about this. Where have you been today and who else was in the hostel? Cou

Mila herself however, was equally as shocked as they were. “H-how is this even possible? I didn’t take it!” “The evidence is here and everyone can clearly see it! How are you still trying to defend yourself? What a show!” said Hallie. “Mila, I’ve always admired you but you’ve really disappointed me this time… If you really liked my ring, you could’ve just told me!” added Xyleena in disbelief. “I… I really didn’t take it! I didn’t!” denied Mila as she continuously shook her head. “She’s telling the truth! Let me tell you, Hallie, Mila’s boyfriend is the richest man in Mayberry! She could get anything she wanted! Why would she even need to steal someone else’s ring?” said Molly. “Hahaha! Oh no… The richest man in Mayberry… I’m so scared!” replied Hallie as she laughed hysterically. “Who cares about any of that! What’s stolen is stolen. I’ll definitely be bringing this up to the director tomorrow! Let’s go! I can’t believe that you’re actually the director’s favorite! There’

Rumor also had it that the television company was owned by a fairly young woman who had an astounding background. In fact, she was so influential that even the powerful television company meant nothing to her. While the rumor had spread like wildfire, nobody actually knew if it was the truth. After all, nobody had even seen her before. This was why the TV station was quite concerned about the event. Even all the furniture in the function hall had to be perfectly arranged. This was proof of how concerned the station was. What more, several celebrities would also be participating. It was definitely going to be a lively event. While everyone was preoccupied with making sure that the hall was perfectly decorated, Mr. Hill clapped his hands loudly before telling the interns and the crew members to stop for a moment. “Gather round, everyone! I have some news for all of you!” Hearing that, everyone did as instructed. “Today’s VIP is a very special person indeed! All of the crew

“What’s going on here, Mila?” Though Mr. Hill admired Mila a lot, he still had to be impartial, especially when so many people were involved with the uproar. “Explain it to the director yourself, Xyleena!” said Hallie as she dragged Xyleena into the spotlight. Xyleena, for one, had been unwilling to speak in the first place. She could only stammer, reluctant to tell the truth. After all, she and Mila were on good terms. Mila was also usually a very nice person. However, after finding out that the culprit was Mina, there was nothing more that Xyleena could say. For the sake of Mila’s dignity, she honestly just wanted to remain silent and let it all slide. “Explain yourself, Xyleena!” demanded Mr. Hill as he frowned. Seeing that she had no other choice, Xyleena detailed everything that had happened the day before. She couldn’t lie about it either since there had been so many witnesses around when it happened. After hearing her explanation, Mr. Hill found it difficult to bel

“I don’t care if you hold any grudges against me. It’s not like I can even fight you!” sneered Mila. “Oh, it’s not about that. I just don’t understand why everyone likes you but hates me. Even though everyone knows that you’re the one who stole the ring, I’m sure that they’re all still going to think about your wellbeing first! In fact, I’m certain they’ll start saying that I’m the one who framed you!” “I don’t want to hear it. However, I believe that the truth will prevail in the end!” said Mila as she tried to leave. “Stop right there! I’m the ‘Big Sister’ here! You can’t just ignore me like that!” shouted Hallie as she grabbed Mila’s arm and forcefully pulled her back. A second later, Mila could feel a burning sensation on her cheek. Hallie had just slapped her! “I’m going to go ahead and say it now. I’ve been meaning to teach you a lesson for the longest time! I’ve held myself back every time others praised you, but there’s no need for me to put up with your bullsh*t anym

Narissa then explained the entire plan that Hallie had set up to frame Mila. Basically, since the opportunity to work with the TV station was extremely important to Narissa, Hallie had threatened her by saying that she wouldn’t let Narissa intern there if she didn’t go along with the plan! Because of that, Narissa had no choice but to cooperate with her. While Mila had indeed been somewhat angry with Narissa, after hearing her side of the story, she just couldn’t hold any grudges against her anymore. After all, she couldn’t just put the blame on Narissa. If Mila lost this position, sure, it would affect her job later on. However, she could still return to Mayberry where she still had her family and Gerald. However, if Narissa lost the position, she would have nothing left. ‘If I were in her shoes, I would probably do the same thing, right?’ Mila thought to herself. In the end, the true culprit of this entire fiasco was Hallie Yates. If she needed to hate someone, it sho

After all, even she would be able to show off slightly if he truly came. “What are you guys talking about?” said Hallie with a snicker as she approached Mila and Molly who had been whispering to each other for a while now. “Nothing much. Also, Hallie, while it’s true that you’ve been freely toying around with us, don’t ever try to cross the line. Consider this to be a fair warning if you wish to live to see another day! I’ve already told you that Mila’s boyfriend is Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, an extremely powerful man! He may even come today, and if he does, well… You’ll just have to wait to find out!” replied Molly. “Hahaha! Oh no… I’m terrified… Please, I’ve heard of several rich people in my life, but never have I heard of… What’s his name again? Crawford from Mayberry? Haha!” sneered Hallie sarcastically. “Oh, you just wait and see, Hallie! You just wait and see!” said Molly in response. As soon as her sentence ended, the crowd’s excitement seemed to suddenly escalate as
Chapter 665
When the main car’s door was finally opened, the crowd was stunned. A fair-skinned and rather chubby guy with eyes as small as pumpkin seeds stepped out as he waved at the crowd in his gorgeous suit. “Is he Mr. Crawford?” “Really?” “Of course not! I recognize who he is! He’s Yoel Holden! The son of the richest man in the county state!” “Is that so? I guess by the looks of it, Yoel’s attending in place of Mr. Crawford, right?” While the crowd was busy discussing among themselves again, the stage manager looked visibly disappointed when he saw Yoel instead of Gerald. However, he still had to take Yoel seriously. After all, Yoel Holden was also one of the VIPs. Mila on the other hand, wasn’t familiar with Yoel. This made her slightly surprised and disappointed when she saw him. ‘Why didn’t Gerald come…?’ Even if Gerald had made his appearance, she would’ve hidden in a corner so that he couldn’t spot her. Regardless, it was no lie that she had at least hoped to have bee
