Chapter 747
I looked at Quentin’s sad expression and said with a smile, “I don’t know if she told you, but she has a serious heart disease and doesn’t have long to live.”
Quentin was not surprised; it seemed he knew.
I chuckled and said, “So, the fact that she’s still alive now is already a win for her. Think about our mother, who should have been by our side, but ended up being killed by her. So, she couldn’t have children—what does it matter!”
“Ralda!” Quentin stared at me with unfamiliar eyes.
I sneered, “What? Do you think I am indifferent and malicious? Compared to your Kimberly, I was much kinder. At least I didn’t kill the aunt who had been with me for many years. And Kimberly, to put it bluntly, was insane!”
Quentin stared at me without blinking, his face filled with indescribable sadness. He had long lost his former vigor and vitality. Now he gives me the feeling of being very heavy, with many unresolved knots in his heart and worries. So, why did he have to like Kimberly? What’s good about liking that malicious woman?
I smiled faintly at him and said, “Do you think what I said is unpleasant? If you don’t like it, you can just leave and go find your Kimberly.”
“Ralda…”
Quentin took my hand and, with a low voice choked with emotion, said, “Let’s not talk about her, okay? I really miss you, and I want us to find a place to talk, can we?”
I withdrew my hand and said with a faint smile, “No, I came to this party not to catch up with you, but to do many other things.”
Yes, I went to the party; the main purpose was to get close to Reynaldo, get him drunk, and then… have his baby. Although it was difficult, it had to be tried after all. Essie’s illness has always been a knot in my heart; not cured, that knot cannot be untied.
Quentin looked at me and Vonnie, suddenly as if he understood something.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he said to me urgently, “Ralda, did you come to the party to expand your network and find more opportunities? In the past two years, I have done well in the media industry. In the future, if you have a script, you can sell it to my company. I will offer you a high price, and you can even have shares. And Vonnie, I heard that her previous agency was not good, so both of you come to my company; I will have the top agent take care of her.”
“No need,” Vonnie said lightly, “As the saying goes, ‘two tigers cannot share one mountain.’ Your company has Kimberly, the big shot, so what chance do other artists have?”
Yes. Quentin’s media career has done well, and now he is considered a prominent figure in Freybourne. And the first female star their company made popular was Kimberly, who would also be the future boss of his company. As Vonnie said, with that malicious woman Kimberly in their company, other female stars had no chance to stand out. Even if there were days when she stood out, that momentum would never surpass Kimberly. The agency Vonnie belongs to, although the agent was a bit strict, at least everyone had similar opportunities.
Quentin looked at Vonnie with a complex expression in his eyes, and then looked down with a sad smile, saying, “Do you all really dislike her that much?”
“Of course!” I said emphatically. “Not only do I dislike her, but I also hate her. Don’t forget, there is a deep-seated enmity between us.”
