Chapter 13- A fatal entanglement that cannot be unraveled

"What suffering can I have gone through" When one is vulnerable, one's greatest fear is that someone will see through your defenses and pretensions.
She had survived all these hardships alone, but when someone suddenly gave her an extra greeting, her grievances became unstoppable, like a flood.
"Just cry."
"I miss my brother so much, my ......" Jennifer couldn't stop her tears just as she opened her mouth, she covered her mouth and didn't say the word "child", she didn't want to explain any more about her involvement with Simon. "He's a lot like you, he forgets everything when he's happy, always."
"And then?" Eddie couldn't help but pursue the question.
"Later, I couldn't save him." Jennifer could no longer speak, Eddie and her brother were, indeed, very similar.
Eddie stopped asking questions and just gave her a gentle hug until she cried herself to sleep, then he carried her into the room and went out for a smoke himself.
Since he was fortunate enough to meet her again this time, he would protect her well. No matter what she had suffered before, Eddie wanted to compensate her little by little.
But what he didn't know was that what Jennifer needed was not necessarily protection, but a redemption deep inside.
Next day.
It had been a long time for Jennifer to woke up at afternoon and when she woke up. Eddie had placed a blue gift box and a note on her desk.
"Your proposal has been adopted, so accompany me to a reception tonight, where all the prestigious bosses are present these days."
Jennifer opened the box with her hand, the dress was in her favorite color, she was not interested in these light and green parties, but Simon's name suddenly flashed in her mind.
The Barry's Film Group is also very powerful, so in case she is also invited to the reception, she can look for a chance to take revenge.
Thinking of this, Jennifer was full of energy, and she finished tidying herself up just as Eddie knocked on the door.
"I was just going out," Jennifer opened the door and smiled at Eddie, "This dress fits quite well."
"It's nice that you like it." Eddie did not hide the amazement in his eyes and gave Jennifer a thumb up, complimenting her, "You look as beautiful as you did when you were eighteen."
After she had tidied up, Jennifer took Eddie 's arm and attend the reception. With a goal of revenge, she was in high spirit, and even though she hadn't eaten until now, she could still walk ten more round on her high heels.
Eddie took Jennifer around the reception before taking her to sit down, intending to talk about the order instructions given to him by his parents: to persuade Jennifer into the company and train her.
"Well, Jennifer, are you interested in joining our company?"
Eddie stated his purpose directly, but Jennifer's eyes were on everyone in the venue. It was strange, Eddie had led her to greet so many people, how come he had not seen Simon yet?
"Not interested." Jennifer refused without even thinking, the entertainment industry was too murky, she didn't have the heart to go through it again.
"I knew you wouldn't agree." Eddie shook his head and casually stuffed a piece in his mouth, while Jennifer was still surveying the venue but never saw the person he was looking for.
"Can you tell me, the people from Barry's Film Group, did they come to this reception?"
"Barry's?" Eddie 's hand that picked up something stopped in mid-air, and then looked at Jennifer suspiciously and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
"Emm ......" Jennifer scratched her head, and she casually made up an excuse to muddle through: "I have a friend who likes one of their company's stars and wants me to help get an autograph. "
"Then you've come to the wrong place, although I don't go to the company often, I know that the biggest threat to our company in the past few years is their Barry's Film Group, have you ever seen a rival get along amicably?" Eddie gave her a blank look and continued, "I also heard that the chairman behind this Barry's Film Group is not too old, but he has a lot of tactics, yesterday my father was still having a headache about the advertisers' resources."
Jennifer's heart thumped, and she hurriedly grabbed Eddie 's arm and asked eagerly, "Do you mean that your company and Barry's Film Group are competing for resources?"
"Yes, why? Suddenly so concerned about this, the Barry family are a canker, if I take over the business, it is inevitable that I will compete with them ......"
Jennifer could no longer hear what he said. She was full of surprises and flukes, this time, the heavens gave her a chance to face to face with Simon.
She dug out her deepest hatred from the bottom of her heart and poured out her anger. This time, she vowed to send Simon into the eighteenth level of hell, never to rest in peace.
"Did you just ask me if I wanted to join your company?"
"Of course, what's wrong?" Eddie was puzzled, and he waved his hand, "You can ignore my parents."
"I agree."
