The Despised Luna's Comeback
Seeing Rosaline's dismissive expression, not even sparing her a glance, Candice's anger flared even more. I stepped in front of Candice and spoke coldly, "Stop causing trouble for no reason!" "Me causing trouble?" Candice pursed her lips. "Jasper, why aren't you answering my calls? Why won't you see me?" I did ignore her calls, but I didn't expect her to be this persistent, even following me all the way here. "I've told you clearly—we have no relationship!" I narrowed my eyes. "Candice, stop bothering me, and don't cause trouble for Rosaline." I paused, locked eyes with her, and added coldly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind your scandals making it to the trending list." "Jasper, just hear me out—" Before Candice could finish speaking, I impatiently shoved her aside and got into the car. With a sharp thud, the car door slammed shut, and I started the engine. Rosaline looked at me calmly and asked, "All taken care of?" "Yeah." I replied seriously, "Rosaline, don't worry. I won't let anyone slander you again." Once I propose to you at tomorrow's award ceremony, no one will have anything negative to say about us. I was looking forward to that moment. I knew Rosaline well. She probably wouldn't reject me in front of all those people. Rosaline's POV: I leaned back in my seat and scrolled through the news for a while. The reports about me leaking the Eclipse Group's bidding details were no longer there. Did Caden have someone take them down? At this moment ... he should be at the hospital, right? I rubbed my temples, and then I heard Jasper's deep voice, "We're here, Rosaline. Let's get out."Jasper parked the car in front of a Fostrau restaurant. "Rosaline, I know you like Fostrau food. This place is really good," Jasper said with a slight smile. I got out of the car and walked into the restaurant with him. After we sat down, Jasper handed me the menu. "Take a look and see what you want to order." I casually ordered a few dishes and said, "That'll do." The food arrived quickly, and I eagerly dug in. It was definitely to my liking. I wiped my mouth and asked, "By the way, didn't you say you had something business-related to discuss?" Jasper nodded, cleared his throat, and replied, "Here's the thing, for the female lead role in the company's major domineering CEO drama 'The Call of the Wolf' next month, I'm considering Naomi Lawrence or Sarah Conti. What's your opinion?" I smiled and said, "You can decide on these things." Since Naomi became the spokesperson for Eclipse Group's Ice and Fire series, her popularity skyrocketed. She also landed several other successful ads and became a rising star in the entertainment industry. Sarah, on the other hand, was a top star under Starplay Entertainment and the winner of this year's Best Actress Award. Naomi's vibe suited the lead role better, but when it came to experience, Sarah would be a better fit. "I'll think about it some more," Jasper said, unsure himself. The next day, I arrived at Eclipse Group early. As soon as I entered the company gates, I noticed several Eclipse Group employees whispering and pointing at me. "I heard Rosaline leaked the Azure Bay project's bid details, and that's why our company lost to BPL." "Really? I can't believe she still shows up to work after that." I chose to ignore them and walked right into the office. As I looked at the flood of promotional material from BPL about the Azure Bay project, a cold smile tugged at my lips.Did Everett really think he could win? I had already put a full plan in place for the Azure Bay project. Heidi's intentional leak of the company's bid to set me up was just one part of that plan. I allowed BPL to overpay for the Azure Bay land, letting Everett get carried away with his victory. In a few days, the Rivemon city government would make the official announcement about the new chemical park to be developed near Azure Bay. BPL's plan for Azure Bay was to develop the largest residential complex in the Werewolf Continent. However, once the chemical park announcement came out, who would want to buy a home there? At that point, the land in Azure Bay would be practically worthless. Everett would have to sell it at a much lower price. That was when Eclipse Group acquired the land for far less than 300 million. With Caden's abilities, changing the location of the chemical park shouldn't be a problem. In the end, the Eclipse Pack would be the final winner! I was planning to brief Caden on the plan, but he was nowhere to be found at the office all day. Could he be at the hospital with Heidi? The thought left a sinking feeling in my chest. I turned to Yale and asked, "Where's Caden?" Yale shook his head. "He didn't come in today." "Is he at the hospital?" I frowned. Yale shook his head once more. "No." "Then where is he?" I asked again. Yale shrugged. "Ms. Sinclair, I really don't know. This morning, he told me he had something to take care of and would be late. He asked me to cancel all the meetings for this morning." "Okay, then." Judging by Yale's expression, I could tell he genuinely didn't know where Caden had gone.
