Chapter 306
Susan had drunk a lot of wine at the party, and many male entrepreneur were flattering her. Susan looked down upon these low-level men. They all had families, wives, and children. She would not be stupid enough to be a mistress. She wanted more than this kind of man.
Putting down the glass, Susan gently stroked her long hair and glanced at Edward’s seat. He still did not come back. Susan had been secretly paying attention to Edward. She frowned and asked others. She learned that Edward seemed to have drunk too much and had gone to the room to rest.
Susan’s face remained calm, but she glanced at her own artiste. She brought two female stars here tonight. One of them was lucky enough to be chosen as the leading actress of the new play by Edward, and the other was eliminated.
Rose had been in the limelight recently, and she was supported by Edward’s new investment. She was a little complacent. She had not seen anyone just now.
Susan asked Wang Ya, the actress next to her, “Where’s Rose?”
Wang Ya was the female artist who failed to win the female lead and was eliminated. She had always been unhappy with Rose, who had been in the limelight. She had planned to deal with her.
Wang Ya simply took advantage of the situation and whispered in Susan’s ear.
Hearing this, Susan narrowed her eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her beautiful face. She asked Wang Ya, “Are you sure it’s true?”
Wang Ya nodded immediately and said, “Boss, how could I lie to you? Just now, you didn’t pay attention to it. Rose had been looking for an opportunity to get close to Mr. Hales and sneaked out to get someone to open a room upstairs. Her enthusiasm to toast Mr. Hales showed that she had bad intentions.”
Susan listened in silence. Wang Ya continued to provoke her. “Boss, I think Qi Lu wants to marry into a rich and powerful family and ask Boss Han to save her. Unfortunately, you spent so much money to make her debut. She doesn’t recognize anyone even if she wants to climb a high branch. No matter how popular she is, she is still an ungrateful person.”
Susan sneered and said, “She wants to marry Edward?”
Wang Ya nodded and echoed, “Yes, she didn’t see who she was. She is just an actress. How could the Hales family let her in?” Wang Ya looked at Susan and her face changed. She knew that Susan must care about her very much. She didn’t make the wrong bet. Her beautiful superior also had a crush on Han Yingfang!
Wang Ya handed a room card to Susan and said, “I did something to Susan secretly. Mr. Hales won’t be in the room she arranged.”
Susan’s heart skipped a beat. She took Wang Ya’s room card and asked, “Who is the man in Rose’s room?”
Wang Ya smiled. “Who knows?”
Susan curled her lips, held the room card, and asked Wang Ya, “Why don’t you go up by yourself?”
Wang Ya was very sensible. “I’m not as bold as Rose. I just want to be famous in the entertainment circle. I won’t mess with anyone I can’t mess with.”
Susan could see that Wang Ya wanted to be famous. This kind of person was the easiest to control. She just said, “Tomorrow, Rose will fall from the altar. All the shows and advertisements on her will be yours. I will also fight for the image of luxury brands for you.”
Wang Ya was very obedient. “Thank you for your promotion, boss.”
Susan took the room card and left quietly. Wang Ya was sitting on the seat and chatting happily with the rich businessman next to her. She raised her head and made an “OK” gesture to Andrew. Andrew felt that there was nothing to do next. He could get off work early.

In the Presidential Suite.
Edward sat elegantly on the seat in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass. While drinking the ginger tea, he watched Nelissa turning around in the room. He couldn’t help asking, “What are you looking for? I’ll find it for you.”
Nelissa looked at him seriously. “Is there any other woman in the room?”
Edward was stunned and shook his head in amusement. “You’re the only woman.”
“What about the camera? Have you looked for it seriously?” Nelissa was worried. She walked over and took away the ginger tea that Edward had drunk. She also took a sip, but she couldn’t tell if someone had drugged the tea. She was instantly discouraged and poked Edward’s shoulder in annoyance. “Do you know how scared I am? How dare you smile at me? I’m so worried.”
Nelissa’s eyes were red with fear. She was really afraid that when she pushed open the door, she would see Edward rolling in bed with other women. Even if she knew that Edward had been framed, she couldn’t accept it.
They might collapse on the spot.
Nelissa sniffed.
Edward immediately frowned.
He took Nelissa’s little hand and let her sit on his lap. He held her waist and lowered his head to coax her. He didn’t want to make her cry. “There are no cameras, no other women, and nothing happened in the ginger tea. I will protect myself.”
Nelissa’s eyes were red as she nodded. Her voice was a little choked with sobs. “I know you’re very powerful, but I heard it clearly…” When she saw Edward’s confident expression, she realized that nothing had happened. She slowly relaxed and snuggled up to him. It was as if she could not leave him for a moment.
“Have you drunk a lot of wine?” Nelissa took a deep breath of Edward’s scent.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward nodded and touched Nelissa’s head with his slender big hand. He couldn’t help kissing her several times in the smell of alcohol. “I drank a lot, so I left early.” It would be bad if I drank more.
Nelissa pushed Edward away in disgust and muttered, “I’ll drink you to death!”
Edward laughed in a low voice, and his eyes were blurred and intoxicating. He just stared at Nelissa. He was sexy and frivolous. Nelissa knew that her face must be red, as if she was tempted. She took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. Her lips and tongue lingered in the sweet wine for a long time before they separated reluctantly.
After that, Edward began to tell Nelissa about the past. He rarely mentioned it. His voice was distant and low. “One month after my mother passed away, Norah entered the house. She always wanted to take advantage of me and make me submit. At first, I didn’t care about it. Later, when I took over the company and engaged in social activities, I found that this person was a wolf in leather. After suffering a few losses, I knew that I should be cautious. I asked someone to investigate and found out that Norah had planted many spies around me. The women who appeared at my side at that time were arranged by Norah to approach me.”
“I realized it at that time. I could almost imagine that if I touched those women, I would basically be finished. From then on, no matter how beautiful the woman was, I wouldn’t dare to touch her.” Edward’s playboy title was created by him, and Andrew was also promoted by him at that time. Outside, Edward was so cautious that he couldn’t easily be framed by others.
Once upon a time, in Edward’s eyes, a beauty was like a scourge of fire. It was impossible for him to fall in love with her before he could get rid of her.
