The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 131: I’ll Hit You

"Yeah, yeah, Paige, I also bought Penson’s tech products, and they’re really not bad. Back in high school, I rember you saying your dream was to be famous across the country, but I didn’t expect you to end up opening a company and starting your own business..."

"Paige, you’re really impressive; you manage to thrive everywhere. Alas, we aren’t like that; we’ll just spend our lives working for others and putting up with their crap..."

These people may appear to be complinting her with envy, but it’s hard to tell how much of it is sincere and how much is sarcasm and mockery.

Paige always responds with a calm expression, never letting these words get to her.

Just then, a woman walked over, arm-in-arm with a man.

"Oh, this really is our class beauty and the little dark girl, huh? I never thought you two would show up. Now that you’re here, our reunion really just got a lot more exciting..."

The woman speaking was Wendy Wallace, who had given Sumr Xavier the nickna "little dark girl" back in high school and is now also in the entertainnt industry.

Paige had seen her when she was still in the entertainnt industry as well.

But at that ti, Paige was top-tier, and Wendy was a nobody. Even as high school classmates, they didn’t really have any interaction.

Sumr Xavier looked at Wendy and scoffed, "I’m paler than you. Keep the ’little dark girl’ nickna for yourself."

Indeed, Sumr likes to spend money on maintaining herself, and now she’s a genuine rich and beautiful woman, even without makeup she’s definitely paler than Wendy.

Moreover, Sumr’s skin condition is much better than Wendy’s.

Wendy pursed her lips and didn’t continue the topic, instead introducing the man next to her with a happy face, "Let introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Wes Biber. You guys probably know him, right? His dad is The Great Director Biber, and his mom is a famous artist. Of course, it doesn’t matter how prestigious his family is; I’m not interested in that. I’m drawn to his talent; not long ago, his movie ’Sulan’ won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Director. I believe with his talent, he’ll beco a great director like his father soday..."

Her intention to flaunt her talented, well-connected boyfriend was obvious. Although everyone felt speechless inside, they all acted envious.

After all, they’ve all entered society, and no one shows their true feelings outright.

And given that he can be flaunted by Wendy, Wes clearly also takes pride in his abilities and family background, quickly greeting everyone with a smile.

After all, Wendy’s group of classmates are ordinary people; the most successful among them is only a sales team leader.

In this crowd, he still holds a sense of superiority.

After greeting everyone, Wes soon focused his gaze on Paige.

From the mont he entered, he noticed Paige. Although she wasn’t dressed in the most luxurious attire, she was the most eye-catching person here, and her indifferent face made people want to take another look.

Actually, Wes had invited Paige to act in his movie before, but Paige declined his invitation, citing a scheduling conflict.

Now that his art film ’Sulan’ won an award, surely Paige must regret refusing his invitation back then?

"Miss Sterling, hello, I’m Wes Biber, I’ve heard much about you."

Paige nodded slightly, "Hello."

And that was it, Wes saw no hint of regret or ingratiation on Paige’s face, leaving him slightly disappointed.

Wendy noticed Wes staring at Paige and discontentedly tugged on his arm.

Wes snapped back to reality and greeted Sumr Xavier.

This young lady from the Xavier family, naturally it’s best to have a good relationship with her.

"Hello, Miss Xavier."

Sumr Xavier didn’t even look at Wes, let alone shake his hand.

She’s heard about his reputation, mainly from her brother.

Austin Xavier said that people like Wes should be avoided.

Even Austin Xavier isn’t a good person, so soone Austin Xavier says to avoid can’t be good either, right?

Girls in the industry tend to avoid Wes, yet Wendy treats him like a treasure, scared he’d be snatched away, clinging tightly to him; she wonders why anyone would brag about soone like Wes, won’t Wendy cry eventually?

Sumr ignoring Wes made Wendy sowhat awkward and displeased, prompting her to speak up to protect her boyfriend.

"Sumr Xavier, what’s your problem? Do you have any manners? Really, calling yourself a socialite, if that’s the case, then we all qualify as socialites."

Sumr Xavier didn’t like Wes’s ways but didn’t want to argue with Wendy at a class reunion, so she ignored her.

Wendy got even more annoyed, "What’s with this person, still so annoying after all these years..."

Seeing this, Wes calmly comforted his girlfriend, "It’s okay, I know Miss Xavier is like that; she didn’t an it."

Wendy was still fuming, glaring at Sumr Xavier.

Sumr Xavier glared back at her, the two of them staring daggers across the table.

Paige saw that Sumr was about to give herself a squint-eyed look, and she stepped on her foot.

Sumr Xavier withdrew her gaze, complaining to Paige, "Paige, you hurt !"

Paige handed her a glass of water, "Have so water."

Seeing their natural interaction, so classmates felt envious.

"Paige, you and Sumr Xavier are really close, even after all these years. We had many "best friends" in high school who’ve practically lost contact by now, and we don’t even have any contact details anymore, sigh..."

Sumr Xavier took great pride, naturally, "Paige and I grew up as childhood friends."

Wendy jumped in whenever she could, always looking to embarrass Paige and Sumr.

"Indeed, close friends, huh? Sumr Xavier, you should be careful. I hear so people in the entertainnt industry sleep their way to the top, and once bored, they cozy up to rich n, even hitting on seniors over 60, getting the boss to open a company for her. Now, she’s thriving in the business world thanks to hooking up with sugar daddies. Aren’t you worried she’ll target your husband when you get married, or worse, what if she goes after your dad too...?"

Wendy is jealous of Paige.

Paige entered the entertainnt industry at fifteen and imdiately soared to fa; back in high school, she was a famous star, always surrounded by fans.

But as for Wendy? Although she eventually entered the industry too, she never gained traction, and her acting roles went unnoticed.

Being from the sa class, Paige never thought to help her old classmate, which made Wendy see through Paige, leading her to believe all the gossip online trashing Paige.

Wendy felt she had talent but never got attention.

Paige was famous from a young age, could she achieve that without backing from patrons?

She looked down on Paige, who she thought leveraged her body to climb ranks and flaunted it everywhere, eager for others to know how sordid she was.

Paige listened to Wendy and rely cast her a faint glance.

Sumr Xavier, on the other hand, was infuriated and stared angrily at Wendy.

"Wendy! Why are you talking so trashily? Do you believe I’ll hit you?"

In her anger, she truly was about to make a move.

With her level of combat, how could she fight soone? She’d likely just be pinned down.

So Paige pulled her back.
