Chapter 74 Shameless Woman
Seeing Calvin's arrogant look, Jocelyn smiled. "Why? I guessed it right! It is a pity that I didn't take a picture of you crossing the line as evidence last night!"
"Hmph! I've already cooked breakfast! What else do you want?"
"Nothing."
Jocelyn got up from the sofa, took out the thing from Beatrice, walked over, and put it on his desk, saying, "I'm here to deliver a thing to you. Since you've received it, I'll leave now. Bye!"
After finishing speaking, she left his office.
Then, Calvin looked down at the neatly packed dark blue box on the table, wondering what was in it.
What on earth was she up to?
Out of curiosity, he opened the box. Seeing the thing inside, he widened his eyes in surprise and cursed, "What a shameless woman!"
She had given him a box of condoms!
Calvin quickly closed the box, threw it into the drawer, and locked it. He felt bad all over! And it was all Jocelyn's fault. Her sexual innuendo was too blunt! Shame on her!
Calvin blushed, tugged at his tie, and irritably walked back and forth in the office.
No, he could not be seduced by her! He must keep a stiff upper lip!

Since the Plexis Group had secretly helped Jocelyn, Icehive Entertainment's plan of using money to suppress the scandal was doomed to be foiled.
Ernest's subordinates reported to him that all the mainstream social networking platforms and telecom operators had refused the money because they did not dare to help Icehive Entertainment. So, the trending topic and tweets were still there.
As a veteran who had worked in the entertainment industry for many years, Ernest knew someone was manipulating them behind the scenes at a glance. But he wondered who the person was.
He instantly thought of Todd! Maybe the Garner Group was backing Jocelyn. So, he called the Garner Group and asked to be connected to Todd's office.
After Todd finally answered the call, Ernest asked, "Mr. Garner, how could you make trouble for Icehive Entertainment to help Jocelyn? Aren't you going too far?"
Todd put his legs on his office desk and sneered, "Mr. Cloutier, mind your mouth! Do you have any evidence? If I had wanted to help her, I would have directly acquired Icehive Entertainment. But you don't deserve it! I don't want to waste more time talking nonsense with you!"
When Todd rudely hung up the phone, Ernest was angry but could only eat the humble pie. Judging from Todd's words, Ernest believed he had not done it. So, who would it be?
...
The situation was beyond Veronica's expectations.
She had been angry that Icehive Entertainment had suppressed her article. But in a blink of an eye, the article which had been completely ignored was widely spread online! It was a miracle!
She wanted to know who had helped her, so she immediately called Jocelyn and mentioned the matter.
But Jocelyn took the initiative to thank her, saying, "Veronica, you are capable! You turned the tide overnight! Good job!"
She thought it was Veronica's contacts that had helped them, but the latter replied in confusion, "Jocelyn, I didn't do it! Who helped us? Do you have a powerful sugar daddy? If not, who else would make such efforts to help us?"
Veronica was joking. She had never thought Jocelyn had a sugar daddy. But she could not think of anyone who would use such a subversive method to go against Icehive Entertainment for them.
"Haha, sugar daddy? I prefer a sugar son!"
Jocelyn was amused by her joke, but she soon realized the matter was strange.
If it were not Veronica or Todd, who could it be? Who was secretly helping her?
Calvin?
Impossible!
He had said he wouldn't help her and asked her to solve all trouble by herself.
So, was it Todd?
After thinking about it carefully, Jocelyn believed it was Todd. Every time she got in trouble, he helped her without giving a thought to personal gains or losses. So, she decided to find an opportunity to express her gratitude to him.
Jocelyn then said, "Veronica, I guess Todd helped me."
Veronica knew about Jocelyn's relationship with Todd, so she didn't doubt her guess at all.
"I think Todd is pretty good. He is ten times better than Ernest. Why don't you accept him?"
Veronica knew Todd had been in love with Jocelyn and waiting for her for many years.
Todd had bought the copyright of The Phoenix Queen and cooperated with Jocelyn. Veronica was entrusted to handle this matter, so she had had several dealings with him and thought he was not bad.
Jocelyn was single and had returned, so it was time for her to date. And Todd was a suitable candidate.
Jocelyn had never thought of dating Todd and had long told him they would only be friends because they were too familiar with each other. But he was so stubborn that he insisted on waiting for her. She could do nothing about it.
Hearing Veronica's words, Jocelyn joked, "If you think he is good, I can try to fix you up. Do you like him?"
Veronica was embarrassed to hear this, so she said, "Come on! I'm talking about you! Why are you bringing it on me? Let's stop this topic. Where are you now? Have you arrived at the company?"
"Well, I will be there soon."
"Okay, let's talk later."
After Jocelyn hung up the phone, her car happened to arrive at Icehive Entertainment. But the gate was surrounded by reporters.
After Marcus opened the car door, Jocelyn got off. A sharp-eyed reporter instantly spotted her and yelled, "Jocelyn! She is over there!"
The reporters all rushed over like a flood with their cameras and frantically took pictures of her.
It was too crowded that she almost fell. Marcus had prepared in advance, so several bodyguards protected her in time.
"Jocelyn, will you make a comeback? Did you scheme the Siumix incident?"
"Jocelyn, are you and your agent Veronica working together to hype it up?"
"Jocelyn, you said you retired five years ago because you rejected Casting Couch. Can you tell us more details?"
"Jocelyn, you are fighting against Icehive Entertainment in public opinion. Who is helping you behind the scenes? Who is the mysterious masked man at the Siumix Charity Night Event? What's the relationship between you and him?"
...
The reporters' questions were sharp, but Jocelyn remained silent. Under the escort of Marcus and the other bodyguards, she finally entered Icehive Entertainment.
Just now, a reporter had asked about the mysterious masked man at the event. So, Jocelyn couldn't help recalling how Calvin had rushed to the stage to protect her and felt warm in her heart. She thought Calvin had worn a mask in public because he wanted to keep a low profile. As long as she didn't respond, people would forget about the matter soon.
Returning to Icehive Entertainment, Jocelyn felt the atmosphere was weird. The staff members all avoided her with disgust and contempt in their eyes. Their attitude was completely different from
when she had been the top artist of the company five years ago. No one welcomed or greeted her, but many people were whispering while pointing at her.
"She betrayed the company five years ago. How could she have the nerve to come back? Shame on her!"
"She almost ruined Icehive Entertainment. Mr. Cloutier should have called the police and let the law punish her!"
"I did not expect her to be such a person. She can do anything for her benefit! Since she betrayed the company, she will end up miserably!"
"She is ungrateful! Mr. Cloutier valued her so much and used all his resources to make her popular back then. But she took revenge on him ruthlessly!"
"Mr. Cloutier dated Ms. Chavez after breaking up with her! But she ruined their engagement ceremony as soon as coming back. What a shameless woman!"
...
Jocelyn knew it was because her previous revenge on Ernest had harmed Icehive Entertainment. Now, they all thought she was an evil b*tch who had betrayed the company for her benefit. She was a heinous traitor in their eyes.
She ignored their whispers and straightened her back. After all, she had no right to control other people's mouths. Since she could not gag them, she would let them talk. Anyway, she would have nothing to lose.
Ernest hadn't come back to Icehive Entertainment yet, so she could only go to the reception room to wait.
As soon as she stepped into the reception room, a cleaner with a mop and a bucket pushed her aside from behind, saying, "Get out of the way!"
Looking back, Jocelyn found it was a cleaner. A lot of dirty water had spilled out of the bucket and soiled her pants and shoes.
Jocelyn slightly frowned. "Lady, you splashed dirty water on me. Please be careful when walking."
Instead of apologizing, the cleaner rolled her eyes and said, "You are a bad person who harms others. How could you have the nerve to blame me for splashing dirty water on you?"
Jocelyn knew she was implying something, so she asked, "What do you mean?"
The cleaner pushed her away, walked in, and said without looking back, "Take it literally! People who stab others in the back are the most disgusting. Get out of the company if you're sensible!"
The cleaner had a lot of grievances because Icehive Entertainment's scandal had affected her salary and allowance.
To vent her anger, she deliberately pushed the mop to the place where Jocelyn Jocelyn was standing. Every time Jocelyn took a step back, she took a step forward. Finally, Jocelyn was cornered to the wall, and the cleaner splashed more dirty water on her shoes.
Jocelyn coldly looked at her, wondering why these bastards always bullied kind people. She was polite to the cleaner, but the latter thought she was a pushover.
