Finn smiled slightly, his face full of affection, “Juliette, you are right. They are about to have a representative work because of you. You are their life savior.”
Juliette said, “It’s too much to say that. We will be working in a team.”
Juliette walked past Finn to Bill and Kay, shaking hands with them one after another.
She said, “My small production film depends on you two.”
Bill and Kay were both very excited. “We will definitely go all out and live up to your expectations, Mrs. Clarke.”
Before Juliette arrived, Daphne had already told them how to address Juliette.
Everyone understood when they thought about the conflict between Juliette and the Vaughn family.
“I’m treating the company members to dinner today,” Juliette said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
Daphne was an expert in this field. Booking a restaurant on short notice was easy for her.
Juliette just walked away with her people without even bothering to greet Finn.
At the door, she stopped again and covered her nose with her hand.
“Orchids don’t match my mood today. Throw them away.” With that, Juliette strode out of the conference room.
Everyone looked at Finn.
Finn pursed his lips. After a while, he tried to save face by saying, “Perhaps I should send her a bag. You know what they say – bags cure everything.”
Juliette was already gone.
After Finn left, he immediately had someone send over the latest bag from a luxury brand. It was a limited edition.
He even went so far as to alert the entertainment news reporters and have them report on it.
A person on the Internet wrote: [Finn is truly sorry, and he is doing his best to make amends.]
Another person wrote: [If I were Finn, after being dumped like that by Juliette, I’d hate her guts. But instead of hate, Finn actually came to celebrate Juliette on the opening day of her business. Such grace is admirable.]
The internet was soon filled with praise for Finn.
After lunch, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and everyone felt sluggish after a full meal.
Juliette walked away from the crowd, held a red umbrella, and walked towards her car.
“Where are you going?” Daphne chased up to her. “Home or to the company?”

“I’m going home. You go give the work to Kay and let her see how to adapt it into a script. Give a copy to Bill too, so he can have a general idea of the film.”
“I’m practically your assistant now.”
“Baby, you are my assistant.”
Daphne hit her, and they both laughed. Juliette got in the car, waved goodbye to her, and drove away.
Juliette lied. She didn’t go home, but drove to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, she called Stuart, “Stuart, I need your help. Can you come to the hospital?”
“What kind of help? I’m in a meeting. Are you alright? Is Patrick or Louis sick?”
“When will your meeting be over? I’ll wait for you at the hospital.”
“I’ll be right there. It’s not an important meeting.”
Juliette arrived at the hospital, got out of the car, held up a red umbrella, and walked toward the inpatient department.
At this moment, a reporter trotted out from behind a tree, her phone live–streaming.
She had just seen Juliette coming to the hospital and knew it was big news, so she immediately followed her.
After Juliette enter the gate, she disappeared. The elevator was still on the 13th floor, and she never came down. Juliette couldn’t have entered the elevator.
“Hey.” The reporter was still looking when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and was startled.
“You’ve been secretly filming me for so long. Tell me, do I look good today?” Juliette asked generously with a mischievous and playful smile on her lips.
The reporter was stunned by the question.
She had always been a competent reporter, but just now she had been secretly broadcasting live and was discovered by her target. She felt ashamed.

“You are very beautiful,” she blurted out foolishly. Those scarlet lips were so sexy, and the corners of Juliette’s eyes and brows were full of charm.
Up close, she was even more breathtakingly beautiful.
The reporter found it hard to understand how Finn could cheat on such a beautiful woman.
She thought dazedly, then suddenly reacted, “What I meant to say was, what are you doing at the hospital?”
“Didn’t Mrs. Clarke commit suicide by cutting her wrists? As the instigator in your mouth, I’ll come and see her.” Juliette said with a smile before pressing down the phone in the reporter’s hand.
“Please don’t film me, okay? I’m a woman, and I’ll be shy if you continue filming.” Juliette said softly.
Reporter nodded. “Okay. I won’t film anymore.”
She thought, ‘I am a woman, but why do I feel a tingling sensation in my bones when I look at Juliette’s beautiful face and listen to her voice?‘

By the time the reporter came to her senses, Juliette was nowhere to be seen.
Juliette stood at the door of Polly’s ward.
After Stuart arrived, she went directly into the ward and locked the door behind her.
“Why did you call me here, Mrs. Clarke?” Stuart’s mind was full of questions.
He thought something had happened to Patrick or Louis, so he rushed over without even taking a sip of water.

“I asked you to come here to do me a favor, but it’s not the right time yet. Sit next to me and wait until I need you. Let me talk to my mother for a while.” Juliette said.
Her manner and tone had a magic that made people unconsciously obey her.
Stuart sat down on the sofa by the hospital bed, waiting for Juliette’s next instruction.
When Polly saw Juliette come in, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in excitement, and she said hoarsely, “Why are you here? Get out, I don’t want to see you!”
Juliette approached her unhurriedly.

She grabbed Polly’s wrist. Polly wanted to struggle but couldn’t break free. Juliette directly tore off the bandage on her hand.
The wound had scabbed over, leaving only a slight mark. It seemed that the injury was not deep.
Juliette thought, “The Vaughn family still let her stay in the hospital with this injury. They are obviously putting on a show for outsiders.
After putting down Polly’s hand, a small bottle suddenly appeared in Juliette’s hand.
She opened the bottle cap, poured out the liquid inside, and blew on it to accelerate its volatilization.
A strong and irresistible aroma rushed out, filling every inch of the air.
It carried a strong and rich aroma, like a poisonous drug that was addictive.
Polly gasped, then calmed down after a few seconds.
Stuart seemed to be frozen by the aroma, unable to move.
At this moment, Juliette sat down slowly beside Polly’s bed, smoothed out the wrinkles in the quilt, and looked into her eyes.
“Mom, it’s me, Juliette,” Juliette said softly and gently.
She remembered that when she was a child, Polly cared for her very much.
She continued, “You loved me very much when I was a child, but then our relationship changed. Tell me what happened five years ago that ruined our relationship.”
Juliette took her hand. “Mom, tell me, what happened to me five years ago?”
She was like a little girl begging her mother to play a little game with her.
“What happened five years ago? Something terrible happened that year…” Polly fell into her memories.
