Chapter 1575 The Sharp Cassie
Just then, the secretary called, "Michael, bad news, I found out that VelvetDream Cosmetics has already..."
Michael said indifferently, "I know, no need to say more. Find out where the agents from DreamDazzle Beauty Co. are staying."
"Okay," the secretary replied.
After leaving the café, Michael kicked the car tire hard.
Michael had lived for over thirty years, and he felt increasingly frustrated these days. Just a few months ago, he had never thought DreamDazzle Beauty Co. would become the biggest competitor to the Ocean Blue group.
Back then, Laura said she only wanted to focus on cosmetics, so he worked hard to help her promote it.
Consequently, DreamDazzle Beauty Co. kept pace with the Ocean Blue group in every field they were involved in, from cosmetics to skincare, shampoo, and hair care.
He now fully understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
'Laura, you're ruthless. Are you trying to get back at me for betraying you?' Michael wondered.
On a bustling street abroad, Michael's eyes were red, filled with pain and anger.
Soon, the secretary found out where DreamDazzle Beauty Co. was staying.
Michael drove over, reached the hotel floor, and had just stepped out of the elevator.
Cassie, wearing a red coat, happened to meet him in the hallway.
She was holding a small brown bag, her young and beautiful face adorned with delicate and elegant makeup, her long, slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders, her features bright and lively.
Behind her were two bodyguards and Magnus.
Cassie, who once came out of Silverwood, now looked more like a dominator in the business world, exuding a powerful aura.
"Michael, what a coincidence; why are you here?" Cassie greeted with a smile, as if meeting an old friend.
Michael stared at her and Magnus with hatred.
At that moment, he suddenly understood everything.
He remembered the first time he met Cassie, he looked down on her, thinking she wasn't good enough for Joseph.
For several times, Michael had privately warned and humiliated her.
In just a few years, Cassie had completely transformed. She was still beautiful but now sharp and formidable, no longer someone he could underestimate.
"Michael, why are you looking at me like that?" Cassie smiled lightly.
"You should know better than anyone," Michael's cold eyes fell on Magnus, "Back then, it was just an excuse to say your girlfriend and family didn't support you working for me, right? Tell me, I'm curious, how much did Cassie pay to hire my once trusted assistant?"
Magnus lowered his head and said, "She hired me some time after I resigned."
"You're talking nonsense!" Michael laughed coldly, "No wonder most of the channels that used to cooperate with the Ocean Blue group have turned to DreamDazzle Beauty Co.. And DreamDazzle Beauty Co. quietly beat me to it with the VelvetDream Cosmetics deal, even though no one else knew they were looking for a production agent. You leaked it, didn't you, Magnus? You've worked with me for so many years, you signed a confidentiality agreement, and you should know that even if you resign, I can still hold you accountable for leaking company secrets."
"It wasn't me who leaked it," Magnus said flatly, "Don't falsely accuse me without evidence."
"Of course, you won't admit it, but I won't let it go," Michael stared at Magnus with malice, "DreamDazzle Beauty Co. has already signed with VelvetDream Cosmetics, I can't do anything about that, but I can teach you a lesson, even if Cassie protects you, it won't help."
Magnus's face changed slightly.
Cassie chuckled and said, "Michael, before you inclaim your assumement, shouldn't you investigate first? It wasn't us who contacted VelvetDream Cosmetics, they sent someone to contact us, and then we came here to sign the deal. If you don't believe me, check it out yourself."
Michael pursed his lips immediately, and after two seconds, he said coldly, "Cassie, you're really scheming. I don't understand, you're managing a real estate company, why venture into cosmetics? At worst, you could go to the Hernandez Group. DreamDazzle Beauty Co. is just a small company now, why waste your time?"
"How is it a waste of time? I'm starting a business with my good friend, leading the company to the international stage, I find it very meaningful," Cassie smiled, "Someone like you, without any friends around, wouldn't understand."
"Joseph never considered me a good friend either." Michael clenched his fists.
"You're wrong, Joseph just doesn't like meddling in his friends' relationships like you do," Cassie said mockingly, "I remember when Joseph and I started dating, you kept instigating and sowing discord behind our backs."
"So you held a grudge against me back then," Michael looked enlightened, "You must have also instigated the rift between Joseph and me."
"Instigated a rift between you two?" Cassie looked at him incredulously, as if hearing a joke, "Alright, you have a really narrow mind. I never interfered with whom Joseph befriended because I respect him. If he doesn't want to be friends with you, it's probably because he thinks you have different values."
"Yeah, before he met you, we never argued. After he met you, we had different values," Michael didn't believe it at all and laughed coldly, "Cassie, your relentless pressure on the Ocean Blue group; is it to avenge Laura, or is it Laura's idea? Does she hate me that much?"
"Hate?" Cassie smiled, "She doesn't hate you anymore, but I really dislike you, Michael. What do you take Laura for? When Megan wasn't around, you pursued Laura. When Megan came back, you slept with Megan and betrayed Laura. You're a jerk."
Cassie's tone gradually turned cold. "And I really, really hate Megan. Since you want to support her, I can only destroy you. If you want to play with me, just do it. Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you're the president's nephew. Not only will I pressure you, but I'll also acquire the Ocean Blue group."
Michael's tall body trembled with anger at Cassie's arrogance. "With DreamDazzle Beauty Co.? You think you can acquire the Ocean Blue group? Are you delusional?"
"You'll find out it sooner or later," Cassie smiled leisurely, "I just ruined all your plans in Seldonia. I'm wondering what you'll do next."
She slowly walked up to Michael. "You love Megan so much, willing to give up everything for her. No problem, I'll make it happen for you, so you can be a couple with nothing."
