Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call

Chapter 16 Backdoor

Then she immediately shook off him and left here, without looking back.

Christian stood on the spot silently and awkwardly, looking at her back with mixed emotions.

Voices came from the bathroom.

"Did Ms. Graves push Mr. Patterson's girlfriend just now?"

"Of course not. I was standing by the side and saw Mr. Patterson's girlfriend say a lot of nasty things to provoke Ms. Graves on purpose."

"Ms. Graves slapped her on the right side of the face, and then the woman fell to the left."

"Even the angle of the fall was checked in advance, and she suffered a little skin trauma. The methods are skillful. She is not simple." The two came out one after the other, and they were shocked when seeing Christian standing at the door unhappily.

Christian was gloomy and cold.

"Is everything you said true?"

The lady who spoke was a little nervous,

"It's... it's true. Many people were there at the time and saw it with their own eyes."

Beatrice's trick could only deceive blind men.

Christian turned and left with a gloomy expression.

But why didn't Anastasia deny it just now?

Christian's chest was heavy, and some parts of his heart gradually became cold and hard.

Seeing that he didn't keep looking for trouble, the two ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

As Christian went back to the lounge, Beatrice was sitting weakly on the sofa. Her head was wrapped in gauze, looking pale and weak.

Christian walked over, and looking at her swollen right cheek, he was slightly unhappy.

"Does it hurt?"

Beatrice sniffed her nose and pretended to be strong.

"It doesn't hurt. Christian, don't blame Ms. Graves. She was so angry to act impulsively."

Christian narrowed his eyes, feeling a little impatient and irritable.

He thought of Anastasia's calm face and the unexpected truth.

"Did she really push you?"

Beatrice's face turned pale, and she was about to cry,

"Christian, you don't believe me?"

Christian didn't answer.

After a while, when Beatrice started to get anxious, he withdrew his gaze and suppressed his emotions.

"Beatrice, when I allowed you to return, I promised Donny to take care of you. When Charlie's papers are completed, you take him out of here."

Beatrice froze and was stunned.

She looked up at him in disbelief.

She never expected that Christian would ask her to leave!

The day after the banquet ended.

Anastasia's work officially started, and she had learned about the background of Starlight Entertainment in advance.

The interests involved were complicated, and the equity structure was also the result of balancing the interests of multiple parties.

Amanda Graves was the largest shareholder, but no one knew her identity.

Early in the morning, she went to the company.

Pushing open the door of the president's office, she saw the person inside was on the phone.

Julian Quinn smiled and gestured for her to wait.

Anastasia nodded with a smile. Julian was Amanda's cousin and the CEO of Starlight Entertainment.

Although he was more than fifty years old, he was handsome and rich.

After hanging up the phone, Julian walked over and smiled,

"Anna, do you know you should come back?"

Anastasia lowered her head and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Julian!"

Julian nodded slightly, with a bit of doting in his eyes.

"Ask the secretary to take you to see your office. Work hard in the future. Otherwise, I will deduct wages."

Anastasia smiled, feeling warmth, and she hurriedly begged for mercy,

"Uncle Julian, please, I promise to complete the task."

Julian laughed loudly, "I will leave the follow-up work to your secretary. Go back to your office first, and tell me if you have any questions."

Anastasia nodded. Just as she was about to leave, Julian stopped her and said.

"There are many handsome guys in the company. Don't be shy. Choose one!"

Anastasia was speechless.

She smiled and then followed the secretary back to her office.

The office was just opposite Julian's. It was not smaller than his, and it was clean and bright. The smell of flowers was fragrant, and the room was carefully arranged. The male secretary, Kevin Woods, handed her a stack of information lists.

Kevin was considerate and careful. Originally he followed Derek and was assigned to her by Derek.

"Ms. Graves, this project is a training program for newcomers to debut who cooperate with a popular variety show. Those who are qualified and popular will stay." Anastasia nodded, thinking it was the most direct way to choose.

She browsed the documents casually and saw Beatrice's name on the last page.

She paused slightly, and Kevin explained,

"Beatrice was the last one to come in. She is... by a backdoor way."
