Chapter 790: No Denial Equals to Acquiescence
He knows better than anyone else that Mr. Alfred is stubborn and conservative to the bone. He would never change his mind because of anyone or anything. So he would definitely not accept her.
Since then, Pehry knows very clearly what he wants. It is definitely not Mr. Alfred's approval, but a continuous struggle against him. Whether he agrees or not, it is impossible for Pehry to let Jasmine go.
"You don't need to care about his opinion. You just need to stand firmly by my side." Pehry says in a deep voice, "Leave the rest to me."
Jasmine can't help but choke, "I really want to do it well...."
If Mr. Alfred can give her a chance, she is confident that she would let him know her good side. She can do everything for Pehry except leaving him.
However, all Mr. Alfred wants is that she leaves Pehry. So no matter how confident Jasmine is, she would not be able to make a different.
Hearing her humble words, he feels his heart ache. But he doesn't want his little girl to feel wronged. "He has his own thoughts. But none of these matters. You've done well. Even if not everyone can see it, I understand you." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jasmine is comforted by his gentle words. Yes, no matter how others discuss or object, as long as he understands her, it would be worth it.
She still feels a little uncomfortable at thought of the woman in the photo. But she knows that everything Pehry has done is for their future.
"Later ... will there always be news coming out?" Jasmine can't help but ask in a low voice.
Pehry tells her the truth, "Well, there will be rumors on and off, but they're just rumors. Trust me, okay?"
Jasmine nods even if he can't see it. "I know you are doing it for my own good."
She conceals her trivial concern, trying not to cause him any more trouble at this juncture.
Pehry can feel her emotions, but he doesn't know how to comfort her. So he can only lower his voice to coax her.
After chatting for a long time, Jasmine gradually calms down. But she immediately becomes anxious after the call.
She has never before found it so urgent to be by his side and stay with him all the time. If she can't see him, she would panic.
Although she has never fallen in love before, she knows many of her peers' romantic relationships. What she dislikes the most in a relationship is that she loses herself for love.
Quite a few girls pay all their attention to love, busy quarreling, crying and laughing. They cannot concentrate in class and have nothing else to do.
However, it's when she herself is in a relationship that Jasmine understands that people can control all the internal factors except their emotions.
She doesn't want to become someone she hates, but she is inevitably becoming one.
Is this a good relationship? Or is Pehry really her Mr. Right?
Jasmine doesn't want to think further. In such an awkward situation, all her assumptions can do her no good but bring her more uncertainty and pressure.
Since she has decided to keep Pehry company, she has to face these difficulties. She can only console herself that everyone in the same situation else would do the same. She has to take courage and carry
on.
...
In JM Entertainment, where Stella belongs, there is a heated discussion. The boss has personally summoned Stella and her team to the conference room.
It is the first time in three years that Stella has sat face-to-face in a meeting with the Big Boss.
On the table lays a news report that has just been released today.
"What's going on?" The boss’ surname is Du, and he has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 30 years. He knows a lot of people this industry and has seen the world.
For so many years, he has known anyone's scandals, heard about lots of private news from celebrities and even the second generation of the chaebol, but he has never heard of Pehry.
Even if there is some, it is only small news, which barely causes a ripple.
Entertainment companies are to reporters what water is to fish. As long as some reports involve their artists, reporters would come over to enquire and create hot news. However, when it comes to the chaebols outside the circle, everyone will be very careful and consult in advance.
But he does not receive any consultation from anyone. So there is only one possibility—someone has consulted Pehry, who has agreed to release the news. That's why they can read the report.
Stella carefully reads the news, which is now the top trending topic. She has never been involved in the top trending topic ever since her debut three years ago, but now she makes it.
Numerous people comment below. Most of them are passers-by and only a few of them are fans. Most of the comments are curse, and very few are praises. Stella doesn't care about other people's curses at
all. For a third-tier celebrity like her, who needs popularity badly, exposure is the top priority.
So what? As long as she is known to the public, there would be plenty of time for whitewash in the future.
So she raises her head happily and says, "Mr. Devon, I did dine with Mr. Pehry yesterday. Mellie manages to grasp the chance for me with great difficulty."
"What about the news?" Even though Mr. Devon knows that there's a slight chance, he still worriedly asks Mellie, who is beside him, "Did you have someone take the photo?"
"Mr. Devon, stop joking. How dare I?" Mellie is scared into sweating and hurriedly explains, "We just saw the news this afternoon. We didn't know that there were reporters following us that day."
Mr. Devon rubs his chin and thinks for a moment. "After the news came out, did Pehry's man contact you?"
Mellie shakes her head. "No."
The meeting room is filled with a strange atmosphere. Only Stella is complacent, and Mellie looks pretty worried.
The news is neither big nor small. It depends on Pehry's attitude. If they really offend him, even Mr. Devon can't afford to compensate, let alone Stella....
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door of the conference room. The secretary whispers, "Mr. Devon, Pehry's man just called."
Mr. Devon is so shocked that he immediately sits up straight and says, "Come in!"
The secretary pushes open the door and repeats what Pehry's assistant just said on the phone. "His assistant called and said that we don't need to care about the news. They will handle it themselves. If the media asks about it, we should not make any statements for the time being."
Mr. Devon is even more shocked. He looks at Stella silently for a while. After regaining his senses, he asks the secretary to leave and asks Stella in surprise, "Do you know Pehry before? Do you have any interactions with him?"
