Olive glared at her. Of course, she knew what Marie meant, but Olive did not understand something.

She pondered, “How could Maris Entertainment be a subsidiary of Global Medias? When did this This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

happen? Why

didn’t I know this?”

Olive turned to look at Nataly, thinking, “Nataly and Andres are close. Does she not know too?”

However, seeing Nataly’s dumbfounded expression, Olive knew the former really did not know about

this.

matter. Olive wondered what capabilities Marie held to make Andres hide a secret from his childhood

friend,

Nataly.

While ignoring Olive and Nataly while exchanging glances, Marie continued to speak into the

microphone,

“Since the acquisition contract is invalid, Darwin, Sasha, and Zane are still my artists, who are also

artists

under Global Media. Ms. Iliana is still Marie Entertainment’s exclusive stylist. Maris Entertainment

invests in

JCL, and Ms. Sasha is the spokesperson. Ms. Iliana personally designed it and signed cooperation

agreements with the production lines and stores of Whitney Group. Everything is clearly written here in

words. I don’t remember seeing any mention where Ms. Shirley and Ms. Nataly are involved in this

plan.”

Looking at Shirley and Nataly, Marie naturally directed the attention of the reporters to the two of them.

The

cameras kept snapping away as they bombarded them with questions.

“May I ask how you became JCL’s CEO, Ms. Shirley?”

“Ms. Nataly, how did you become the chief designer?”

“Are Ms. Nataly and Ms. Iliana both chief designers, or did Ms. Nataly replace Ms. Iliana?”

These questions came one after another, causing Shirley and Nataly’s expressions to change. Before

the press conference, they had never considered facing such a situation.

Sitting on one side, Marie calmly watched Nataly and Shirley being besieged by reporters. Looking at

their flustered expressions, Marie thought, “They dared to take away my things in the first place, but

now they’re

afraid to face this. The teammates Olive chose are quite terrible.”

Marie cleared her throat and asked the reporters through the microphone, “Do you have any questions

about

my answers?”

The reporters sat back in their seats and whispered among themselves. Indeed, there was a lot of

breaking

news from today’s press conference, but Marie’s answers informed them well, and they really did not

know

what to ask.

Marie smiled and turned to Olive. The uneasiness in Olive’s heart grew stronger and stronger. She had

a hunch that Marie would always strike her opponents like this, as always.

However, Marie was not here to deal a severe blow to Olive. What Olive did this time had already

crossed the

line, so Marie decided to push the former into the abyss step by step until Olive could not start anew.

As soon as Marie spoke, a tender voice echoed through the microphone, saying, ‘Now that Olive’s

problem is

solved, can you help me solve my problem now?”

“What is it?” Olive asked in a trembling voice.

“First of all, I’ve never decided to sell Maris Entertainment This is evident from how you don’t even

know Maris Entertainment is a subsidiary of Global Media, so where did you get those official and

private seals on

the contract?” Marie asked with a smile

Olive clenched her fists. She knew Marie would not let her go easily. Olive scoffed inwardly, “How am I

supposed to answer that question? Those official and private seals were stolen, of course.

Without waiting for Olive to speak, Marie continued, “Secondly, I am JCL’s boss and I have a designer

like Iliana and a collaboration with the Whitney Group. Why would I rush into the Spence Group?

Everyone knows a big change is occurring in the company, and it is a mess.”

“Oh, and thirdly, since this is a so-called acquisition press conference, why did your bodyguards

prohibit me from coming in when I arrive outside? It can’t be they don’t recognize me. After all, we are a

family”

These three questions left Olive speechless, and the reporters below the stage were even more

stunned.

This was indeed not a simple press conference.

It had long been rumored the Spence sisters were at odds. Two years ago, Marie almost sent Carly to

prison

after teaching her a lesson in public. Now, Olive wanted to take over Marie’s company and network.

unilaterally, but Marie humiliated her in public. The Spence family’s relationship was really a mess.

Ultimately, Olive was not a young girl like Carly. Even though Marie questioned her to this extent, Olive

was

only stunned momentarily. Her stiff expression quickly returned to normal, and she smiled at the

media,

replying. The staff must have made a mistake. They didn’t contact Global Medias and made a hasty.

decision. This is our negligence, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer later.”

After saying that, Olive returned to normal and turned to smile at Marie. “As for the JCL, I’m merely

Nataly’s business partner and helping her promote this. In the meantime, shouldn’t you be asking Ms.

Iliana why she

transferred the brand to Ms. Shirley?”

Marie clenched her fist. Olive truly had a way with words. Her reply was generous and reasonable. If

Marie continued to press for answers, it might make her seem aggressive. After all, the media and

netizens would

quickly criticize her on the Internet by only seeing the surface.

However, no matter how fast Olive reacted, she was prepared for the trap they had set up.

Sitting in her seat, Marie smiled and said, “Indeed, I should ask Iliana personally. After all, it’s their

family

matter. We do not need to interfere.”

As soon as these words came out, Shirley’s expression changed The reporters below the stage were

also stunned, pondering, “What did she mean by Iliana and Shirley’s family affairs?”

It had been widely known in the entertainment industry that Shirley had a backer, but no one knew who

it

was. Everyone wondered how this was related to Iliana.

After Marie spoke, Iliana entered the hall. Ignoring Shirley’s furious gaze, Iliana walked straight to the

stage,

sat beside her, and nodded at her.

Marie spoke into the microphone, “Iliana isn’t used to this kind of public occasion. As her business

partner, I am fully qualified to speak on her behalf. Ms. Iliana was born into the Tuttle family in New

York and is Shirley’s half-sister. Am I right?”

She looked at Shirley with a faint smile, but Shirley did not have much self-control as Olive. Her face

was almost livid as she watched Iliana sit next to Marie without saying a word.

“Who the hell does Iliana think she is? She’s just an illegitimate child! If she didn’t have the same blood

type as me, she wouldn’t be qualified to return to the Tuttle family at all, let alone be the second

daughter of the Tuttle family!” Shirley cursed inwardly.

Yet, Iliana is back and sitting at the press conference. She must want to take back the brand!> Shirley

thought.

“Ms. Shirley, you secretly went home, so I thought you wanted to settle down and start a family. It turns

out you stole Iliana’s brand business just because you couldn’t stand being in the entertainment

industry anymore. Is that it?” Marie asked unceremoniously.

Shirley’s face turned red as she fixed her gaze on Iliana, thinking, “She really came to steal the brand

back! This woman pretended to be harmless, but she is, in fact, very scheming!”

Olive comforted Shirley with one hand, smiled slightly, and said, “How can you call that stealing when

they’re sisters? Perhaps it’s the family that transferred it.”

Olive’s smile was gentle, generous, and charming but also fake.

Marie also gave her an insincere smile in response and said, “So what if they’re sisters? Aren’t we

sisters too? Didn’t you try to steal my company?”

As soon as she said this, Olive’s face became a little tense, and the reporters below the stage were

animated. This statement came from Marie herself. Olive used improper means to acquire the

company.

Olive glared at Marie, thinking, “Has she gone crazy? What would the media say if she spoke like

that?”

Marie turned to the reporter’s camera again, grinned, and said, “I’m just kidding. Don’t mind it.”

Olive was slightly confused as she pondered, “What exactly does Marie want? Didn’t she come here to

tear us

down? Why did she start to help me?”
