Chapter 574 Playboy
Before that, she had always thought that Marty was a playboy who would never settle down with a woman.
Therefore, she could accept it, as long as she could marry into the Blaine family and become Mrs. Blaine.
But it was not until today that she realized she was wrong.
The others might not be able to tell, but she could tell that Marty had feelings for Evelyn.
How could that be?
How could a man who had just abandoned her were able to fall in love with another woman right away?
Which part of her was not as good as Evelyn?
So Melodie could not accept it!
The feelings of her resentment aroused deep down like a ball of fire that could blow off at any time.
Clenching her teeth and fists, she stared at the picture on the screen.
A long time had passed before she took a deep breath, taking out her cell phone and made a phone call.
"Hey, get someone for me. I want him to do something..."
Meanwhile, on the other end...
Evelyn didn't know that she had been targeted by Melodie.
Because she was about to start filming a suspense comedy movie with Anthony, Marissa had let her take a few days off.
So, she planned to spend the next few days with her mother in the hospital while she was on holiday.
Her mother was staying at St. Peter Hospital, where its facilities and environment were one of the best in Flaucford.
Furthermore, Marty had specially asked for the best nurse to look after her mother, and because of that, she didn't have to worry too much.
The only thing she worried about was Iris's heart transplant.
Because her mother had an incredibly rare blood type, without the match, it was impossible to proceed with the heart transplant.
If the heart was not replaced soon, the disease, like a curse, would haunt them at any time, bothering them continuously and it might take Iris's life at any time.
Unable to accept this, Evelyn wanted her mother's disease to be cured.
That day, when she was preparing to go to the hospital to visit her mother, she received a call from Clarissa suddenly.
Upon receiving the call, Evelyn was a little surprised.
This was because Clarissa seldom took the initiative to contact her. After all, she had to take care of her child and manage the company. She was really busy.
As an artiste of Starlight, Evelyn's schedule was usually managed by Millie or Marissa, and it had been a long time since Clarissa interfered.
So Evelyn wondered what could be the matter when she received Clarissa's phone call.
Confused, she answered the phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, she heard Clarissa said with a smile, "Evelyn, I heard that your mother is sick and she is admitted to the hospital?"
It was impossible to hide from the company that Evelyn's mother was hospitalized. Hence, she had never intended to hide it since the beginning.
The reason why she didn't mention it before was that Marissa and Clarissa didn't ask, and she didn't take the initiative to tell them either.
Later, because of one incident, Marissa found out about it, and she didn't try to hide anything on purpose. Therefore, she was not surprised that Clarissa knew about it too.
"Mmm," Evelyn replied lightly and nodded. "Yes, what's the matter?"
In response to the question, Clarissa smiled, and said, "Nothing. It's just that I heard your mother had a heart attack, and coincidentally, I'm going to go abroad soon. F country probably has more information on the procedures of a heart transplant and it is faster too. Do you need me to inquire about it for you when I go?"
Hearing that, Evelyn was overjoyed.
For such a good opportunity, it was like receiving a free lunch. How could she refuse it?
At once, she nodded vigorously. "Of course. Definitely."
Listening to her excitement, Clarissa smiled and said, "I might be going next week. I'll contact you when I have an update."
"Okay." Evelyn was so excited that her voice was trembling. She knew that according to Clarissa's character if she hadn't already had some news, she would never have called to ask her.
It was very likely that she had already obtained the source for the heart transplant, but she was not sure yet, so she made a phone call to confirm it with her.
With slightly teary eyes, a long time had passed before she managed to calm down, and said, "Thank you, Clarissa."
When Clarissa heard that, she smiled. "There's nothing to thank for. Don't think that I'm simply trying to help you. You're now Starlight's best actress and the most valuable cash cow to me. I'm still looking forward to you helping me generate more money. So, of course, I have to ensure that you don't have any worries."
It was obvious that she said this to ensure Evelyn would not feel pressured about it.
Hence, Evelyn was mindful about it, and she was very grateful.
Holding back her tears, she replied, "I know. Don't worry. I will work hard to make more money."
"Well, then I'll bear your words in mind."
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
As soon as Clarissa hung up the phone, she heard a knock on the office door.
It was Rosie, who came in with a cup of coffee.
Since Clarissa stopped her acting career, she had been working in Energence International Crop, but she didn't fire Rosie because of this, instead, she let her continue to work for her.
At work, if Rosie did not understand anything, Clarissa would guide her patiently.
That way, Rosie, who was only a helper to the celebrities, serving them tea and carrying their clothes before, had become Clarissa's right-hand woman.
For this transformation, Rosie was extremely grateful to Clarissa.
It was also because of this that she felt even more guilty when she thought of what she had done to Clarissa in the past.
Seeing that Clarissa had just hung up the phone, Rosie smiled sheepishly. "President Chapman, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
In private, Rosie had always called her 'Clarissa', but since she was no longer in charge of the public relations department, she was now managing the entire Energence International Crop.
In order to not create any bad influence, Rosie had been addressing her as President Chapman in the company.
Upon seeing that it was Rosie who came in, Clarissa looked up and smiled at her, putting aside her phone and casually answered, "No."
After taking a sip of the coffee, she thought of something suddenly and asked immediately, "By the way, I'm going abroad next week. As for the company's affairs, I'll deal with them remotely. If there's anything wrong here, remember to report to me immediately."
At once, Rosie nodded, and said, "Okay."
Then, Clarissa handed another name list that was on the table to her.
"Here's the list of people who will be attending the film festival next week. Please send the list to the Artiste Department and Public Relations Department each, and remind those who are nominated to get ready in advance. For those who can make it there on time, it's better if all of them go, and forget about being lofty at a time like this."
Meanwhile, Rosie opened the file and flipped through it.
Then she looked up at Clarissa, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Director Jordan and his team won't go."
Freddie Jordan?
Clarissa frowned.
"Why not?"
Smiling, Rosie replied, "Director Jordan has been busy recently. He mentioned he was planning to film a sci-fi movie. When I passed by his office last time, I heard him discussing it with the screenwriter. I assume he will come to you soon for the proposal."
