The Big Shot's Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 556: Chapter 499: Alice Eugene……
No one knows that Jessica Maxwell is the leader of the hate group.

All we know is that the organization behind the Hate Group Leader is enormous.

So its sudden dissolution has caused quite a bit of attention.

[Did…did the Third Master sue her?]

[I don’t think it has much to do with the Third Master. I remember when he first sued her, she was quite arrogant. Everyone knows her family is rich, and they seem to live in the Imperial Capital and have some connections to the Clark Family. It wouldn’t serve the Third Master well to meddle with her unless necessary.]

[Then what happened to her? I’m not used to this.]

[She deleted all the negative posts about Miss Brook from her Facebook.]

[I’m a fan from another fandom coming to gather some tips on how to dissolve a hate group.]

[I’m a fan from another fandom too, witnessing this for the first time. Just a bystander.]

[I’ve heard of haters becoming fans, but never of the leader of haters becoming a fan.]

[Although this ex-hater suddenly started praising our Miss Brook. As a fan, I suddenly feel a bit lost for what I should do.]

[You guys, what exactly did Miss Brook do to receive such praise from a former hate group leader?]

…

When Jessica Maxwell quit the internet, Lila Campbell was playing chess with Old Master Lane at home.

They were sitting under a rose trellis, a mosquito coil burning next to the chess board, small colored lights illuminating the vine rack above them.

“Lila, Charles Flores visited yesterday.”

Lila Campbell raised an eyebrow and took one of Old Master’s knights on the chess board: “Did he come to see you?”

Old Master Lane chuckled, “Why are you pretending to act silly now? When has he ever come to see me?”

“During Chinese New Year.” Lila Campbell answered.

“Exactly.” Old Master Lane said with a clicking sound, “And I didn’t actually ask when he came to see me. You little girl…”

Lila Campbell smiled.

“The older you get, the naughtier you become. Do you bully Arthur North every day?”

“Grandpa, I am your real granddaughter.” Lila Campbell reminded him.

Old Master Lane chuckled at her before speaking again, “Charles Flores wants me to persuade you to return to the Court Music Academy. He wants you to take over it.”

“Grandpa, I’ve already told my teacher that I lack the time,” Lila Campbell said gently, “The research institute is demanding, and I don’t have much time for anything else, not just the Court Music Academy.”

“Indeed, the Research Institute will keep you busy if that’s where your focus is.”

Lila Campbell glanced at Old Master Lane and the corner of her mouth curled upward, but she didn’t say anything.

Old Master Lane didn’t notice her smile, he kept his eyes fixed on the chess board and continued, “Charles Flores said that if you go to the Court Music Academy, you will be its master. In the Research Institute… He said Dean Yue was unfair. He chooses not to use those with talent, preferring to let his own grandson take the position.”

Lila Campbell didn’t correct him, she listened as Old Master continued speaking.

“Lila, you’ve always been a leader in what you do. In the Research Institute… don’t you feel unsatisfied? ” Finally, Old Master Lane voiced his real concern.

“Grandpa, being a leader doesn’t necessarily mean I have to be the Dean in the Research Institute, does it?” Lila Campbell replied as she fondled a chess piece in her hand, “My contributions have nothing to do with whether I am a dean or not. Like… even though I am not the official owner of Spotlight, my reputation as the Chief Designer has nothing to do with whether or not I am the CEO. My place within the jewelry design world remains secure even after I left Spotlight.”

Old Master Lane watched her. After a few moments, he chuckled and nodded, “It appears I was being narrow-minded.”

Lila Campbell shook her head, “Grandpa, as you know, my ambition is vast. I want to climb to the top everywhere I go. I long for control, the feeling of having everything under my own hand.”

Old Master Lane watched as Lila Campbell calmly shared her cold indifference to everything else. She was completely detached from worldly cares and concerns.

“Dean Yue showed me kindness…” Lila Campbell said, “I will do everything I can to help Turner Daniel. If he has the talent, I would gladly support him.”

Old Master Lane nodded.

“Grandpa, even though… I’ve been out of the house since a very young age, and I haven’t been by your side for over a decade,” Lila Campbell said, “But I have not forgotten your teachings.”

She never forgot.

Even when she lost her memory, when Edward Kirsten was her only support, she never forgot.

That’s why she vehemently disagreed with Edward Kirsten and refused to become someone like him.

She’s been away for so long, and Old Master Lane was worried that she had taken a wrong turn somewhere.

And given the decisions she’s made since returning home and the rumors he’s heard, Old Master Lane felt a touch of concern.

That’s why she reminded her one more time.

“General.” Charlotte Lane took Old Master Lane’s chess move.

Old Master Lane glanced at the chess board, he’d lost.

Old Master Lane: “…Can’t you take it easy on me?”

“You should go to bed now.” replied Charlotte Lane.

“……” countered Old Master Lane,”it’s not even ten o’clock yet.”

“It’s nine fifty-two.” she said.

Old Master Lane didn’t want to move.

Charlotte Lane glanced at him, pausing for a moment before suggesting, “Starting from tomorrow, we’re going to bed at nine.”

Old Master Lane: “……”

The housekeeper sitting by his side, laughed quietly to himself. Finally, someone was able to manage their Old Master. This thought made him accidentally chuckle out loud.

Old Master Lane looked at him: “What’s there to laugh at? Don’t you know it’s time for bed? It’s ten o’clock.”

The wronged housekeeper immediately stopped laughing, stood up and said: “It’s time for bed.”

Old Master Lane got up, and Charlotte Lane too, stood up with him.

“You should go to bed early too.” Old Master Lane said to Charlotte Lane.

“Okay.” Charlotte Lane replied, “Goodnight, Grandfather.”

After waiting for Old Master Lane to return to his room, Charlotte Lane sat outside for a while longer.

She finished her call with Kevin Clark, and then received another call from Felix Baker.

Jace Miles wanted to see her.

Giving it some thought, he might want to discuss matters about the Miles Family, so she agreed and decided to meet after work the next day.

After ending the call with Felix Baker, Charlotte Lane went back to her room to sleep.

Meanwhile, on M Continent.

Due to the time difference, it was still day time in M Continent.

Stella Edwards’ performance in M Continent ended two days ago.

After resting for two days at her hotel, she went to Edward Kirsten’s current location in M Continent.

Even though there was no communication between them, Edward Kirsten clearly knew her performance schedule.

So if she had a performance, there was a high probability that Edward Kirsten would be here in the days following the end of the performance.

Like always, Stella Edwards arrived at this location by car.

The courtyard was also as usual, full of servants and bodyguards.

All familiar faces that would be in the mansion whether Edward Kirsten was there or not.

Stella Edwards asked at the entrance if Henry Kirsten had arrived.

They said he had.

Stella Edwards was still somewhat happy.

No matter if the person in his heart was her or not, she was still happy because he came here.

Stella Edwards quickened her pace a bit towards the courtyard.

She first went to the front courtyard, after not finding anyone there, she went to the backyard.

However, just as she was about to reach the backyard, being two to three meters away from the Moon Gate, she suddenly heard the sound of a cup shattering from inside the room in the backyard.

The noise was loud, even from this distance, it could be heard that it was forcefully thrown on the ground.

Startled, Stella Edwards stopped moving, unconsciously sidestepping to avoid directly standing in front of the Moon Gate.

Immediately after, a sharp clamor of a slap was heard.

And then Edward Kirsten’s furious roar: “Alice Eugene! How dare you defy my command and target Enigma Starry!”
