Rosalyn's friend was exposed to have dated a married rich second generation secretly in the wild for pleasure and suffered the explosion of her luxury car.

Anyone who knew Rosalyn must know that her best friend was the younger daughter of the Bennett Family. They often interacted with each other on social platforms and in private. The media workers could take photos of Rosalyn and Ava going shopping and drinking teas together from time to time.

However, Ava was not a star after all. Even if her photo was in the newspaper, the topic of the media would still be focused on Rosalyn, and they would at most only mention her proud family background and her deep friendship with Rosalyn.

This was the first time that the media had used more words to talk about Ava instead of Rosalyn when their names appeared in the newspaper together.

A reporter photographed Ava driving her Lamborghini to the suburbs after having dinner in a western restaurant and meeting with the president of a group.

The president was married. More ironically, it was said that his wife was also Ava's good friend.

Once Ava and the president met, they hugged and kissed each other devotedly. When their feelings were strong, they both entered into the deserted woods while still hugging each other. Their luxury cars which worth tens of millions were abandoned on the road.

Unexpectedly, before long, Ava's Lamborghini suddenly exploded. When the two rushed out of the woods, their clothes were in a disarray. What they were about to do was self-evident, and they were obviously two recidivists.

The scandal overwhelmed Ava, and the celebrities in her circle all said that they would break off all relations with her and they would not make friends with people like her. The ladies said that their daughters should not only be affluent materially but also be affluent mentally and have correct values.

The eminent Bennett Family suddenly became a negative example of rich and wealthy families. The news was a real headache to the family, however, their biggest problem was not this, but-

"The Bennett Family was involved in continuous scandal: 'Kitchen of Bennett', the chain restaurants of the family, were exposed to have substandard sanitation and disinfection. Eight of their twenty restaurants in the first-tier cities which were sampled did not meet the hygiene requirements."

Before today, the chain restaurants of the Bennett Family, Kitchen of Bennett, were the most popular chain restaurants in the first-tier cities and second-tier cities. The price of which was affordable to the people, and the restaurants had a comfortable environment and were open for 17 hours a day. They were specially opened near office buildings and in crowded places. Restaurant seats were often in short supply in rush time.

However, today, the eight restaurants which were substandard in sanitation and disinfection had been closed, and the restaurants still in business had little customers. Compared with their popularity in the past, they could only be described as bleak that day.

Both their businesses and family styles had been involved in scandals. It was obvious that someone was behind all of this. People who didn't know the fact watched the scene of bustle, and who knew was well aware.

However, no one figured it out who was behind this; besides, no one would make their guesses online.

Joanne put down her iPad and was shocked for a while.

Others might not know who it was, but she thought of a very possible one-Brian.

Just... Just because Ava had hurt her, did he do so?

She suddenly remembered that Brian did not ask her why Ava hit her but how she hit her yesterday. After she replied, he reacted coldly. She thought that he was just asking her questions casually, but in fact, he remembered it very clearly.

"Joanne, what are you reading? You are so absorbed in it." Iris asked.

"Nothing, just some gossips."

Afraid to be seen something by Iris, Joanne put her iPad back and went to brew a pot of spring tea to chat with Iris.

At this time, Chris, who was far away in the CBD, also saw the news.

In contrast, his reaction was much calmer. After reading the news, he put down the newspaper and began to deal with his work. It seemed that he had known Brian would have done so.

Maya knocked on the door and came in with a cup of coffee. After that, she did not leave the office.

The tenth anniversary celebration of Lambert Group would be held that evening, but... Chris still did not ask her to accompany him.

Now, not only Freya and Joanne were guessing the relationship between Chris and her, but all the people in Everbridge Group were guessing it, and Chris also knew it.

If he took her with him to the celebration tonight, it would be an indirect admission that they were in a relationship. Otherwise... she would be laughed at by everyone in the company tomorrow.

Chris did not raise his head when he asked, "Miss Parker, is there anything else?"

"Is there anything that I need to prepare for your attendance at the anniversary celebration of Lambert Group tonight?" Maya asked euphemistically.

Chris paused turning over the documents. He looked at Maya and said, "I will tell you if I have something that needs you to do."

The implication was that since he had not given her any order, he did not need her to do anything, and she did not have to take the initiative to ask him.

Maya's heart was sinking. "Is it because Ava hit your sister that you don't want me to attend the celebration with you? Chris, Ava and I ..."

"I know it has nothing to do with you." Chris interrupted her. "You can rest assured that I will not blame you on this. At the same time, I also hope that you will do your job as well as before. Don't cross the border-you're only my subordinate, Miss Parker. It's not appropriate for you to call my name."

His meaning was obvious enough, and Maya's heart finally sank to the bottom. "You promised my father, and I thought we..."

Back when her father first sent her to work in Everbridge Group and asked Chris to take care of her, her father's intention was already obvious. For so long, Chris was also very patient to her. He constantly guided her in work and promoted her and also defended her when they were outside. When someone embarrassed her by making fun of her, he would stop them in time...

Chris treated her differently than other women, so, she had thought that he and his ex-girlfriend broke up because of her. When they went out for a meal and met Brian and Joanne on that day, she thought that she would eventually accompany Chris to attend the anniversary celebration of Lambert Group.

"But he said... What did he mean?"

"Maya." Chris put down his expensive black pen and said, "Your father asked me to take care of you, and I agreed because he once helped me. It has nothing to do with you. If he sent someone else to me, I would also take care of her. If I made you misunderstand something, I apologize to you, and I hope that you can understand my words from now on. Also, I don't want you to affect your work because of your feelings. If you can't handle it well, I will transfer you to another department."

He said calmly, but he did not know that this was a fatal blow to Maya.

The female staffs of the whole company were waiting to see the ending of her and Chris. If she was transferred to another department, there would be someone laughing at her in public and secret. But if she stayed here with Chris, she still had a chance.

"I can!" She raised her lips and instantly became the elegant and capable chief secretary she used to be. "If I can't handle such a thing well, then I have wasted all my time under your charge. You can rest assured that I won't let my feelings and work in a conflict."

Right then, Chris's cell phone rang, and at the moment the screen lit up, she inadvertently saw his desktop-Freya's photo.

"I will go out and leave you alone."

As the words fell, Maya had turned around and no one saw her hand clenched into a fist.

"The desktop of Chris's mobile is actually a photo of Freya. This is impossible. Everyone in the world knows that he hates Freya!"

What she didn't know was that it was Freya who called Chris.

At this moment, Freya was exercising on the treadmill. She slowed down her running speed, but she was still gasping when she spoke. It sounded like the groans of a certain moment, and Chris clenched the phone in his hand. "Freya, are you deliberate to talk to me like this?"

"You are crazy." Freya was not aware of this at all. "What are you talking about? I called to ask you that the last time you told me that you had chosen a female companion for the celebration tonight, who is she? Tell me her name."

Chris sneered and asked, "Tell you and then?"

"If I'm right that she is Maya, I want to drive my car to crash her just like what her cousin did to Joanne," Freya answered, "and by the way, I can take revenge for Joanne."

Chris believed that Freya was not joking and really dared to do that. He pressed his temple while saying, "It's not her. Don't do silly things."

"Well, are you worried about me?"

Freya smiled triumphantly, but then Chris threw cold water on her with saying, "I'm worried about Maya."

"Damn!" Freya speeded up unwillingly. "In any case, no matter who it is, she will not be able to stay until the end of the night! For the sake of your female companion, I advise you not to take her with you tonight."

"Freya, how many times have I warned you?" Chris almost gnashed his teeth as he spoke. "Don't let me hear you speak foul words anymore!"

"You want me to do as you said?" Freya snorted. "I've told you to date with me for more than ten years. When have you heard of me! Not at all! Then why should I do what you ask me to do?!"

After she finished her words, she hung up the phone. Even though Chris couldn't hear her, he could imagine that she was definitely speaking bad words to him at that moment.

For the first time, he saw someone pursuing others in such a barbaric way without changing her style for more than a decade.

He put down his phone, and the caller's ID immediately disappeared from the desktop, which was then replaced by a photo of Freya's smiling face. Chris picked up the phone again, turned it upside down in his hands several times, and entered the Settings.

With a few more clicks, the original photo of his desktop would replace the photo of Freya's smiling face.

But in the end, he still put down the phone.

In the gym, Freya just stepped down from the treadmill and received a text message from Travis, who invited her for lunch and said that he had something to tell her. She thought for a while and replied, "Now I have to eat my lunch and dinner in my company because I have to work out to keep my fitness. I can't eat out with you. What do you want to tell me?"

Travis did not answer her question but just said, "Let's get out to have a cup of coffee."

They made an appointment in the coffee shop near Lambert Group Media Co. , where it was not far away for Travis to come. Freya ordered coffee for them as she waited for him. Travis came straight to the point as soon as he arrived. "Did you make Chris agree to take you to the celebration as his female companion? If you didn't, I want you to be my companion."

"It is not the last minute yet, how can we draw conclusions?" Freya had been pursuing Chris with this perseverance for so many years. "Chris is yet to get married. How can I give up now?" "I'll make him agree that tonight!" she continued.

Travis smiled and said, "Just in case, I will not bring any female companion with me tonight. If you are dismissed by him, I will offer to be your male companion to put on the dog for you."

Freya had wanted to praise Travis for his loyalty, but when thinking carefully, she found that it would be a grievance for her friend.

"You'd better bring a girl with you tonight," she said, "I've been rejected by Chris for so many years. If he rejects me again tonight, I will be able to quickly cheer up. You don't have to think for me, take care of yourself."

"I say I won't take a companion, then I will keep my words." Travis fiddled with his haircut before the glass window. "In any case, with my handsome appearance, I can hook up with a girl easily in the celebration."

Freya nodded. "Yes. I wish you hook up a beautiful girl tonight!"

Travis picked up his coffee cup and touched Freya's cup while saying, "I wish you not to be rejected by Chris this evening."

Freya stamped on Travis's foot under the table and said, "Damn you! If I am rejected by Chris, you'll never be able to find a wife for the rest of your life!"

"Huh?" Travis smiled cheekily. "It's not bad to marry you."

Freya rolled eyes at Travis. At this time, she thought that Travis was just joking.
