Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 79

When Grace saw this, she also understood, as if a blow to the head, her whole body was stiff and cold.

Yet she was still undeterred and asked Adeline tremulously, "Adeline, what's wrong?"

Adeline also did not have the impatience just now, the heart of the fear spread a little, "I, my cousin aunt's phone cannot be reached, I first call my mother."

With that, she picked the phone back up off the floor and called her mom.

This time the call was quickly answered and Adeline breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, I just called my cousin's aunt but she didn't answer, is she busy?"

Adeline's mom was getting a facial and didn't realize anything was wrong, "What do you want with your cousin's aunt?"

"My agent just had a meeting and told me that the company is going to snowball me and all my recent announcements have been stopped, so I want to ask my cousin's aunt what's going on."

Hearing this, Adeline's mother also seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation, "What are you saying? All your notices have been stopped? The company is going to hide you?"

Adeline's mother stood up directly, the mask fell off her face, a staff member came forward to help, she raised her hand to block, and walked straight out.

"My agent just told me that after the meeting, mom, call your cousin aunt!"

"I know, hang up first, I'll call your cousin aunt and ask."

When she hung up the phone, Grace looked at Adeline and didn't dare to speak.

Just now Adeline and her mother talking on the phone so loudly, she naturally heard it all.

Adeline gave Grace a look, pursed her lips and lost her usual arrogance and dominance.

Both of them were rare silent, and midway Adeline's new assistant came in, cautiously, "Grace, Adeline, would you like something to drink?"

Adeline has a background and has been in the company for more than three years and has changed nearly ten assistants, none of the people who have been Adeline's assistants are smiling when they leave.

Last month, the assistant who replaced Hamish was thrown out by Adeline again and replaced by a new assistant. Now the new assistant is naturally trembling at Adeline, afraid that he might say something wrong.

Adeline always likes to take it out on her assistant, but today she wasn't in the mood either, and just waved her hand impatiently, "Don't want anything, get out."

"Ohhhhhh, okay."

When the young assistant saw her like this, how dare she say anything, she quickly turned around and ran out.

Grace looked at Adeline and her heart was sinking a little.

This circle is like this, there is a backstage arrogant and domineering, no backstage inch difficult to move. Adeline and the Foster family have a relationship, Freddie and Dillon good friends, Dillon greeted, Hallowflame Entertainment related resources Adeline can get a little, this is only three years mixed into this.

But once Adeline has lost its backstage, what competitiveness is there for Adeline in this circle, not to mention the direct talk of "hiding" nowadays.

Adeline was also thinking about what she would do in the future. She would usually give her cousin's aunt a hello and didn't seek her out only when something came up.

But today the cousin aunt is not answering her phone, she actually has the answer in her heart, just not dead yet.

Inside the office, the two men had different thoughts.

It wasn't until Adeline's phone rang that the two looked at each other and Grace's eyes lit up, "Adeline, did your cousin's aunt call you?"

Adeline took out her cell phone and saw the caller ID, not her cousin's aunt, but her mother, and her heart immediately fell to the bottom.

Grace also saw the caller ID, her heart sank, and her face sank.

"Mom?"

Adeline just picked up the phone and heard her mother's not-so-good words, "I just called your cousin's aunt and said you offended someone you shouldn't have offended, she told us all not to look for her in the future, she was scolded by your cousin's uncle, her face was lost."

"Adeline, what's wrong with you? You've been in the entertainment industry for three years, how did you offend the wrong people?"

When Adeline heard her mother's words, she also looked aggrieved, "Mom, I haven't offended anyone! I haven't done anything lately, my announcements are all scheduled for next week, and I've been going out lately, I haven't run into anything..."

At this point in the conversation, Adeline seemed to think of something and blushed, "Could it be her?"

"Who have you offended?"

Adeline bit her lip for a moment, not quite sure, "I had dinner with Starry yesterday..."

"Who is Starry? I remember, that Filip's ex-wife, right? Why do you have nothing to do with her? Are you crazy? She's Filip's ex-wife, how could she have a bad relationship with Hallowflame Entertainment's Dillon?"

"You hurry up and go with Grace to apologize to Starry, before word gets out! Don't think our family is really capable of anything, if your cousin aunt didn't owe me a favor in the first place, she wouldn't have helped you ask for so many resources!"

Adeline was the one who scolded people for the past two years, now she was scolded by her mother, her face was red and white, but in the end it was her own mother, finally she listened patiently and hung up the phone. "Grace, is Starry really that great?"

"Now we really haven't offended anyone other than Starry, either."

Grace looked at Adeline with a complicated expression, she and Adeline kind of complemented each other, but Adeline was really not a good entertainer.

She has taken her for three years and Adeline continues to call on her and dismiss her.

Grace raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "Can't your cousin's aunt help you make peace with this?"

When Adeline heard Grace's words, her face froze, "My cousin aunt, will not care about me anymore."

In fact, Grace heard Adeline's mother talking so loudly on the phone just now.

She's just asking because she wants Adeline to figure it out for herself.

After coming back last night, she had actually been anxious.

Starry is obviously angry, but she is angry just like that and left, not even a curse word, as if not angry.

However, today Adeline was snowed out by the company, which all can only point to Starry.

Adeline this person is not capable of big temper not small, she also do not want to serve.

After Grace figured it out, she stopped giving advice like she used to, "So what do you have in mind now?"

Adeline is now a fly on the wall, she doesn't know what to do, and when Grace asks, she is even more confused, "I, what else can I do?"

"There's no other way out for you now, so go apologize to Starry."

"But--"

Adeline remembered yesterday's incident, and then Hamish, and turned blue.

Grace gave her a look, "Think for yourself, you have no room for buts now."

After saying that, she left straight away.

Adeline froze for a moment, "Grace-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Grace was already gone.

Adeline also realizes that even Grace won't help her now.

Is it true that you can only go to Starry and apologize for your mistake?
