Miss Nobody Is Taking A Backfire

After hearing what Karla said, Damon began to plan how to put obstacles in Shirley's company. He couldn't do it openly. If others knew it, not only his reputation would be ruined, but also the whole reputation of the Ji Group would be damaged. Although he hadn't taken charge of the Ji Group yet, the group would belong to him sooner or later, so he couldn't discredit it. So he had to do it from the dark. But what should he do?

Shirley's new drama had just begun. She must need a lot of TV stations or websites as her partners, so Damon planned to start from here.

He had asked someone to find out several websites and TV stations that Shirley was contacting, and it was said that everything went well. There were several things that had been settled, but there was a saying that money could make the mare go. All he needed to do was to use money to make trouble for Shirley. Moreover, he never lacked money. Besides, he could also use the brand of the Ji Group, as long as they didn't tell anyone.

Damon arranged several people from his subordinates to meet with Shirley's partners in secret. He asked them to propose that as long as they didn't cooperate with Xia Film Company, the Ji Group would invest in them. But there was one condition that they couldn't mention the Ji Group to Shirley. In order to get a large investment, these companies quickly changed their sides. After all, no one could resist the temptation of money. Moreover, if they could cooperate with the Ji Group, it would bring great benefits to the company.

The new drama went on smoothly, and there was no movement from Karla. So Shirley was in a good mood and relaxed. She thought she could finally rest for a few days, but she received a call.

"I'm sorry, Miss Shirley. We might not be able to play your TV series on our website as we promised before." The man's tone was very polite and official, but Shirley didn't feel any sincerity from it. "Why?! We have agreed before, haven't we? Why don't you keep your promise?" Shirley was surprised to hear that.

"I'm really sorry. This is the order of the superior. I'm just responsible for sending messages. Besides, there are very few trustworthy companies nowadays, and most of them are profit oriented. Of course, we are no exception. Your TV series won't bring much benefit to us." The man's voice was strange, cold and merciless, like a basin of cold water pouring on Shirley's head, making her instantly awake.

The person on the other end of the line heard that Shirley was silent and said sorry before hanging up. Shirley didn't think too much, but that leader's action was inappropriate. It wasn't a big deal. But Shirley was a little disappointed. Normally, the TV stations and website would scramble to buy the copyright of the new TV series, but she had to beg others humbly. It took her a lot of effort to convince them. After all, the Xia Film Company was now in danger. They all thought that the Xia Film Company would definitely go bankrupt in the end.

But Shirley had to comfort herself that it was okay as long as there were other websites willing to broadcast it. However, things were not as naive as she thought.

In the next few days, Shirley received phone calls from several companies one after another. Some of them had already reached an agreement with her, while some were still negotiating. But they all said that they didn't want to cooperate with the Xia Group. If she was refused by one company, Shirley would not be suspicious. But she had been refused so many times, Shirley felt that this didn't happen by accident. Someone must be against her.

Therefore, Shirley couldn't just stand by anymore. She couldn't stand others bullying her. At least, she had to know who did it. So Shirley hired a detective to find out who put obstacles in her way. "Miss Shirley, I've found it out for you. After we stayed in your cooperative company for two days, we found that there was the same person entering these companies."

"Who is it?" Shirley asked in a hurry.

"I've sent you the photos."

Looking at the photos on her phone, Shirley found that she didn't know this person.

"I don't know him." Shirley told the detective.

"But after our tracking, we found that he entered a company -- the Ji Group."

Shirley's mind went blank. Ji Group? Who is it? Damon? However, although he had threatened Shirley to take action against the Xia Group last time, she hadn't had any conflict with Karla recently. Moreover, although Damon looked very powerful now, in fact, he was just bluffing. He didn't have much power in the company, so he definitely didn't have the ability to control so many companies. So, was it Samuel? Although this result was hard for her to accept, there was only one possibility, because only he did have the ability.

She remembered that Samuel happened to see her slap Karla several days ago. At that time, she defended Karla so much as if Karla was her wife and she was an outsider. What's more, Samuel had a crush on Karla before. He didn't show anything until she was with Damon. It seemed that he had been keeping this treasure in his heart all the time. As the saying went, "the best thing is that you can't get."

She thought Samuel would let her go after he yelled at her the other day. It turned out that he didn't let her go. Was he going to secretly vent his anger for Karla and teach her a lesson? What a good trick. When she got home in the evening, Shirley saw Samuel sitting at the table and having dinner elegantly. She was furious. How could he eat so peacefully after he did this to her? What a hypocritical man. Shirley didn't want to look at him anymore, so she walked upstairs with her shoes clattering. Samuel glanced at her and said, "Don't you want to have dinner?"

"No!" Shirley said in an unfriendly tone. She didn't want to talk to this hypocrite.

Shirley shut herself in the room and didn't want to see anyone, let alone Samuel. It was not until the nanny knocked on the door and said, "Mrs. Shirley, I have prepared some fruit for you. Please come out and take it."

When she opened the door to get some fruits, she happened to see Samuel passing by. She rolled her eyes at him and slammed the door with a bang. Samuel was confused. What was wrong with this woman all of a sudden?

In the next few days, Shirley and cherry didn't give Samuel a good look. As for Samuel, he didn't take the initiative to talk to her. The two of them had been in a cold war, and the misunderstanding between them had been deepened.

The only thing that made Shirley happy was that her good friend Anna had come back from France. Shirley had read this Anna in the novel before. She grew up with Shirley and knew her well. Moreover, her family also engaged in the film industry.

After Anna came back from abroad and heard about what had happened to Shirley, she immediately came to talk to her.

"Shirley, I've heard about what happened to you recently. I'm worried about you." Anna held Shirley's hand and said.

"Alas, it's a long story." Shirley knew that Anna must have known her current situation, so she didn't say anything more to her. She just sighed deeply.

"It's okay. I'm back. I can help you. I've been abroad for years. At least I can give you some advice. "Anna decided to help Shirley clean up the mess.

"Okay! Anna, you are so nice! "After hearing Anna's words, Shirley's gloomy world seemed to be suddenly shone into the sun, and she became warm and touched.

Although she had encountered a lot of setbacks and difficulties here, what had always gratified Shirley was that she had a lot of friends who treated her sincerely. Shirley had seen too much hypocrisy, so these feelings were very precious, and she wanted to repay them bit by bit.

Anna stayed in the office with Shirley every day to give her advice and have meetings with her. With the help of Anna, Shirley felt that she had taken less detours.

Due to Damon's disturbance, all the partners that Shirley had contacted a few days ago had refused her, so Shirley had been busy these days. She really didn't have a day off. Even if Damon had used some dirty means to steal the partner of Shirley, he was not that omnipotent and powerful. Through Anna's introduction, Shirley had contacted several more partners, and they were all Anna's friends. They would never betray them.

However, Shirley still believed that those things were all done by Samuel. When she met him, she didn't talk to him and looked very cold.

In fact, Samuel also felt strange these days. What's wrong with this woman? She ignored him and often rolled her eyes at him. However, through his assistant, Samuel knew that Shirley was busy cleaning up the mess recently, and that she had a friend who had come back from France to help her.

Shirley had been working late for several days in a row, which was all noticed by Samuel. That night, when passing by Shirley's room, Samuel looked at the light from the gap under the door and knew that Shirley was staying up late again.

Thinking of that night when Shirley cried alone, Damon's heart softened again. He stared at the door of Shirley's room for a long time, and Shirley's helpless eyes appeared in his mind. He felt sorry for her. Originally, Samuel's feelings for Shirley had quietly changed, so when he saw the tired look of the woman these days, he felt a little sad.

However, when he thought of how she slapped Karla that day, and how she treated him coldly and indifferently these days, he felt very conflicted. Was this kind of woman worthy of his concern for her? Samuel told himself in his heart, 'I can't be cheated by this woman. Besides, it's not the right time to talk about the relationship between a man and a woman. What I should do now is to revenge on the Ji family.' This woman's matter had nothing to do with her. It must be because that he has not been in touch with women for a long time and he had become unaccustomed to it since she moved in. He would be fine after a period of time.

Thinking of this, Samuel stopped thinking about Shirley and went back to his room. ☐☐☐☐
