Felix Shaw leaned in again, clamped Elizabeth White’s chin, and said word by word, "Elizabeth, you really disappoint too much. Once," he paused here, gritted his teeth, and his knitted handso brows couldn’t hide the pain, "I liked you so much, but you used your innocent appearance to deceive over and over again."
"I’m sorry, Felix, I’m sorry, I was wrong, please let go," Elizabeth White clutched Felix Shaw’s arm tightly, like grabbing a lifeline, constantly pleading, knowing full well that these wealthy people were not to be trifled with. Just one word from them could completely ruin her.
"I’m begging you, for the sake of the long ti we’ve been together, I know I was wrong, I really do..."
Not wanting to see her pathetic, hypocritical look anymore, he waved his hand, brushing away Elizabeth White’s hand, Felix Shaw’s thin lips opened slightly, and he coldly spat out one word, "Get out!"
"Okay, I’ll leave now," Elizabeth White kept muttering to herself, staggered up from the carpet, and stumbled towards the door.
Watching Elizabeth White leave, Felix Shaw’s handso face remained tense. The year was coming to an end, and there were many things to take care of at the company. He had no ti to waste on Elizabeth White, hoping to finish his work soon so he could fly abroad to find that woman.
Elizabeth White was hospitalized with a mild concussion, but her team publicly claid it was an accidental work injury. However, more gossip about her erged online, saying she was involved with so director and got slapped at a press conference by the director’s wife.
Originally, she could have gained fa from this film, but due to this scandal, the popularity she had just accumulated dropped significantly. The movies that initially intended to cast her as the female lead didn’t reach out again.

With New Year’s Day approaching, Felix Shaw was even busier. lody Zachary called her son, unable to return to spend New Year’s Day with him due to her schedule.
Felix Shaw initially let his mother act to find her an occupation, but after one film, the director discovered lody Zachary had a talent for acting and was very cara-ready. So now lody Zachary is a busy person, always on set with an assistant, and Felix Shaw specifically arranged a nanny van for her, making her no different from those top-tier celebrities.
Everyone knows that Christmas Eve abroad is equivalent to New Year’s dostically. On this night, Mia Foster and the company’s employees celebrated with a party in the large conference hall, decorated as the party venue. Fairy lights covered the Christmas tree, and employees either wore formal attire or dressed up as Santa Claus.
Onstage, the band dressed in black played "Jingle Bells," and employees in the hall linked arms and happily danced to the music.
Mia Foster sat alone in the rest area, watching the cheerful employees celebrate, holding a glass of champagne. She wasn’t particularly dressed up, still in her work clothes, her legs elegantly crossed, and her precise short hair made her look especially capable.
"May I sit here?" While engrossed, a gentle male voice with a perfect Australian accent sounded beside her. Mia Foster withdrew her gaze and saw a gentlemanly dressed man standing in front of her.
The party included not only the company’s employees but also so partners or friends of employees. Although unsure of the man’s identity in front of her, Mia Foster knew he was either a partner or a relative brought by an employee.
She curled her lips politely and said, "Of course."
The man nodded slightly and sat next to Mia Foster, together watching the people still reveling to the music, sipping his champagne lightly, and asked, "Why don’t you join in?"
