Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 170

The entertainment company Emily worked for was among the top ten in China and one of the top three in A City. There were the best actor and actress in the company, and Emily was quite a celebrity.

However, the entertainment circle was a typical place where new comers would replace those old ones. Youth was everything. Emily couldn't compare with those new comers now. She had been maintaining her skin care with expensive skin care products all the time.

And she dressed herself up gorgeously and tried to be better than others.

But today, she appeared in the company in a mess. The receptionists looked at her curiously.

Emily was sensitive enough to hear those whispers. If it was before, she would never let it go.

"Hey, isn't that Miss. Bai? Why do you look so bad? Are you having too many alcohol recently?" Just as Emily walked to the floor where the artists usually came in and out, she heard a playful sneer. A group of women, all young and energetic, were basically new employees of the company.

And there happened to be a new employee who the company was promoting recently.

Now they faced each other with different thoughts.

"Watch your mouth." Emily was used to be supercilious, but she began to fold her clothes to make the wrinkles obedient. Then she adjusted her hair and straightened her waist to make herself look noble.

"What a terrifying woman! Which rich man does the pure and innocent actress ask for help from this time?" Those people knew that the company was going to give up on Emily. A bunch of hatred piled up in the past.

They began to talk arrogantly. Emily's face suddenly turned pale. But she finally understood that she came here for the business.

She would remember all of them!

Emily snorted and turned to the agent's office. Those people looked at her back and laughed, with mean words more neatly than reciting lines.

There were a lot of people in the agent's office, and so did the entertainment director. Seeing Emily, she had a long face. Emily walked in with a much slower pace.

"Do it well. This is an opportunity for you from the company," the entertainment director said to the agent. The agent nodded busily and sent her away.

Emily still wanted to say something, but her attitude to avoid arousing suspicion was very obvious. It was embarrassing.

The director of the entertainment department came over, telling the agent to take good care of the new comer, not to make trouble in the entertainment industry like Emily did. Therefore, when she saw Emily, the agent announced her end directly. "You've been too tired recently. Have a good rest for a while."

"For a while" could be a short time or a long time, and many people knew it clearly that Emily was going to be abandoned by the company.

Emily was unwilling to accept the result and wanted to say something. Suddenly, the agent's phone rang and she was talking with the advertising company. She kept complimenting the new comer.

Everyone was indifferent to Emily. No matter what happened, she couldn't do anything to them. If she wanted to be the same as before, she had to ask for money by herself.

Emily was good at socializing and she was well connected with many people, but now those people were afraid of her. Nobody wanted to help her in the end, for fear of being implicated.

She felt the reality of the society again and felt the coldness of the entertainment industry. The news about her on the Internet was not decreased.

The attitude of the company became the last straw to crush her.

Media were everywhere around Emily's house. She even dared not go back to her house now.

The car was driving in the city. Finally, Emily drove to the Gu's mansion. After hesitating for a long time, she called Yulia.

"Hello." Yulia's voice sounded casual. It was easy to tell that she was touching her newly manicured nails while answering the phone.

"It's me," said Emily. She was not as superior as she used to be in front of Yulia, and her attitude was much softer now. After all, she was trying to ask for help.

"What's up?" Yulia was surprised that Emily would call her at this time. With a little hesitation, she answered the phone. She was curious what Emily wanted to do at this time.

"I have something to talk to you. I am at the gate of your home, can you meet me outside?" Emily asked. But soon Yulia rejected. Without hesitation, she said, "Just say it on the phone. I'm doing facial treatment."

"Could you help me get through this? Gu family is capable of doing that." Emily came straight to the point. She could more or less feel Yulia's attitude.

But she had no choice. Anyway, Yulia was the daughter of Gu family.

"Emily Bai, have you forgotten what you have said before? If you ask me for help, then you are really asking the wrong person. You and Melinda are two of the people who I dislike. She had already been handled. Why should I help you?"

Yulia would never forget that the contemptuous look in Emily's eyes. It made her happy to witness the misfortunes that had been going on between Melinda and Emily. It was impossible for her to help Emily.

"I'm sorry, this famous actress. The illegitimate daughter of Gu family can't help you. You should pray for yourself," Yulia mocked, and she hung up the phone.

She was unwilling to admit that she was in an awkward position. She said it intentionally just to mock Emily at this moment. 'Didn't you think that you were better than me? Now, you still have to beg me, an illegitimate daughter that you look down upon, ' she thought.

Yulia felt satisfied as if she was taking revenge.

With a livid face, Emily hung up the phone. She had been complacent all the time that she thought she had controlled Yulia, but it never occurred to her that she had been thoroughly used.

It had been a totally different scene that Jonas returned to A City after three days on his business trip. William reported Emily's situation to him after he arrived at the company.

"Got it." Hearing the name of Emily, Jonas couldn't help frowning and getting more annoyed when hearing her bad situation.

It was not that he was worried about Emily, but that he had a feeling that Emily would find him soon. His phone was kept by William during these days. The number of Emily's call, which was as high as tens of thousands, almost dominated the screen.

As expected, the moment Jonas returned to A City, Emily got the news and rushed to the Soaring Group.

She said that she wanted to see Jonas in the name of Jonas's friend. The receptionist was smart enough as she could work in such a big group. Even though she despised Emily, she didn't say anything. Anyway, she reminded the secretaries in the CEO office.

Finally, Emily met with Jonas, which made her want to cry. She didn't think too much before. Only after experiencing such things, did she know that some sincere feelings were rare.

"Jonas, you must help me this time. I really can't do anything about it. I can't just end up like this." Looking at Jonas with tears falling down, Emily quickly began to seek help from him. She looked at Jonas carefully and saw that he was obviously a little unhappy with his eyebrows twisted together.

Jonas felt a little weak. It was rare for him to have such symptom.

He wasn't in a good mood. He didn't want to speak to Emily, but his conscience made him force himself to listen.

"As I said, that was the last time I helped you." Jonas didn't forget what he had said. If Emily was willing to go on a good career in the entertainment industry, he would certainly help her. But now, she made herself in a mess.

He had helped her once or twice, but he couldn't always help her.

"Jonas, you're also responsible for this accident, aren't you? If you hadn't left alone, the media wouldn't have had the chance to attack me."

Emily panicked at first, and then scolded Jonas. At this time, she was glad that the pictures taken by those reporters were not taken when she was in the night club.

This inexplicable blame left Jonas in a trance. He recalled what had happened that day. It seemed that Emily had drunk too much for she was in a low mood because of him.

If that was the case, he should be responsible for it.

His frown deepened. Emily knew Jonas well. Seeing that he was thinking, she said thoughtfully, "Jonas, I'm sorry. I was too anxious just now to say something like that."

But what done was done. Sitting on the chair, Jonas felt the coffee in front of him had become totally cold. Emily's saliva was almost dried up, but he didn't respond to her at all.

"You can go back first."

Emily didn't expect that this was all what she got after such a long time waiting. She wanted to know what Jonas's attitude was. But Jonas was always unpredictable, so she couldn't figure it out at all.

Emily was respectfully led out of the office by William. Sitting on his chair, Jonas ordered, "You deal with it."

"Yes, sir," William responded as he bowed. He had been busy with the accident since it happened. He knew that Emily was a capable person, who could always find ways to let the boss help her.

William really wanted to tell Jonas that if he kept on tangling with her, he would only make things worse.

When Emily returned near her apartment, she found that the paparazzi had disappeared. A vague guess arose in her mind, but she was not sure, so she simply waited for it at home.

Jonas had great power in A City, and it was easy to deal with this kind of matter. After three days, he helped Emily to clean up.

It reminded those who stood aside again.

It didn't take a few days before the event quieted down. Those women who had mocked Emily began to be afraid of her. No one had expected that Emily would hook up with a powerful man and have turned over the table.

Although she was still not very popular, those who wanted to cause trouble to her had to think over their consequences.
