EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 113

Not long after Hugo's conversation, Wendy had already received a call.

She had been in the circle for so many years, and she knew everyone had a backer?

Even a chaste looking woman like Alicia was still being held up by a mysterious big man! This business had long been commonplace.

So, naturally, the way this break-up took place was clear to Wendy.

A month ago she laughed at a newcomer who presumed to steal her thunder and was given a car to break up by her dependable sugar daddy, not expecting it to be her turn.

She had been with Hugo for nearly five years, and Hugo had always been good to her. Although he was obedient, he had never failed to do whatever she asked.

To be honest, she could not find a better backer than Hugo right now.

In the early years, her mind was still alive, thinking that by using Hugo as a springboard, she wanted to go further, not Antonio, not Elijah, but Austin.

But as she got older, she no longer had these thoughts.

This business of entertainment was all about youthfulness, she was already twenty-nine this year, ten years into her career, she was not young anymore.

But in this world, there was never a shortage of girls between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three.

So for the past two years, she had also gone to great lengths to please Hugo.

She thought Hugo would more or less let her follow him to thirty-five, but today a call from Hugo's secretary came and told her to pick a car and a house, and everything came to an abrupt end.

Her backbone was gone.

"Jamie, is Mr. Read free now, can I give him a call?"

Wendy's voice was trembling, she was really afraid, she had been using Hugo as her backer to make her presence felt in the circle all these years, if she didn't have a backer anymore, she couldn't even imagine!

Furthermore, she would be thirty next year, but the fact was that, apart from a few minutes in her debut film, all her subsequent films and dramas had been badly criticised.

Last year's Best Actress award was only won thanks to Hugo's connections.

Without Hugo, Wendy couldn't imagine!

She had been fighting with Alicia for so many years, and it looked like they were neck and neck for the past two years, but Wendy knew in her own heart that she was no match for Alicia.

All her shows and movies and TV shows were hyped up, and in fact the real audience reviews were very bad.

But Alicia was different. Over the years, people who had slandered Alicia had gradually become Alicia's fans.

Without her backer, Alicia still had her personal power, while without Hugo as her backer, she really had nothing left except this face.

However, Jamie on the other end of the phone was desperate, "Sorry, Miss Wendy, I advise you not to contact Mr. Read again, after all, this is the decency Mr. Read has given you for the sake of these five years."

"Jamie, what did I do wrong?"

Jamie didn't know what Wendy had done wrong, saying she was using Hugo as a stepping stone, when in fact he, an outsider looking in, didn't feel like it.

He couldn't think of any other answer, so he had to bring out the words that Suny had said this morning, "Miss Wendy, you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended, and Mr. Read can't protect you!"

The call had been disconnected, and Wendy's hand shook and the phone fell straight to the floor.

"I... How could I have offended someone I shouldn't have?!"

It was true that she had been a bully all these years, but she knew what would cause troubles for Hugo, and which would be easily dealt with him.

She had been in the circle for ten years, so she knew the truth that the power was overwhelming, and she wouldn't dare to offend the wrong people.

Compared to Wendy's panic, Suny was in a better mood.

In just three hours' time, Rosa had sent her what she wanted.

Suny casually browsed, this Wendy had done a lot of unethical things over the years.

There was so much going on that Suny was too lazy to read it and forwarded the original document directly to Alicia's email address.

Alicia, who had entered the group, was very busy this time, and after Suny had finished forwarding it, she read the minutes of Phantom's meeting yesterday.

With Alicia in the group, Suny could only deal with Phantom herself.

It was almost ten o'clock at night, and Suny was already ready to go to bed, but Alicia called in time.

Suny raised her eyebrows and answered, "Finish work?"

"Nope, have to shoot until after 3am today!"

"Good work, Celebrity Alicia."

"It's because of poverty!"

But if she was half as rich as Suny, she wouldn't have to be filming in this shitty mountain at midnight!

Suny smiled, "Have you checked the mail?"

"Yes! I'm calling for that, Suny, what big move are you preparing for? Why did you look up so much of Wendy's dark history?"

Suny laughed: "Don't you want to hit a falling dog?"

"What's a falling dog? She's so proud of herself now, she took on a new movie just a while ago!"

Alicia's teeth itched at the thought of it: "With her acting skills, she has the same expression in everything she plays. I was going to ask Isobel from our company to take it, but I didn't expect this shameless Wendy to come in midway!

What could the director say about investing into the set?

Suny raised her eyebrows, this matter was unknown to her: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Can't we compete with her to see who has spent more money? It's pointless! The script is good, but honestly, based on my experience over the years, it might not be a hit! But Isobel is quite a spiritual actress, and the director almost decided the role to be her on the spot at the audition!"

If it wasn't for Wendy's shamelessness, being almost 30 years old and still grabbing this script with a young girl, that role would have been directly Isobel's.

Suny pursed her lips, "Don't be angry, soon you'll vent out your anger."

Alicia then said, "By the way, what's the big thing you're planning to do?"

"You know about the Roundjoy founded by the two brothers Hugo and Quinn, right? The market share has been getting lower and lower these two years, and they talked to me about the acquisition."

"But what does this have to do with Wendy?"

Suny laughed lightly, "Because I told Hugo that Wendy had offended our Boss Suny and that he would have to break off with Wendy if he wanted to sign a contract."

"...... Great! Wendy no longer has a backer, she probably can't do anything. How did you grow your brain? Why are you so smart!!!"

Suny accepted the praise without modesty, "I do have a pretty high IQ."

"I think you're making fun of my low IQ."

"Be confident and take the 'think' out of it."

Alicia felt the blow and decided to change the subject: "...... So with the tree behind Wendy fells, we can shit and piss on her head, right?"

Suny silenced for a moment, "In theory, yes, but I still want to be civilized and we don't shit and piss in public, okay?"

Alicia sensed the mockery again, "I was just being metaphorical!"

"Well... it is unique"

"......"

Alicia had the urge to cut off their friendships.

Forget it, for the sake of money, she would endure it.
