The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 182: Schemes

However, Skylar Hughes’ look of agony just now, was sohow hilariously funny.

Skylar Hughes looked stiffly at Paige Sterling.

Paige Sterling said, "Hearing you scream so happily, seems like the honey tasted really good."

Skylar Hughes was in a daze, "You picked honey?"

"I originally picked honey," Paige Sterling laughed, "Do you think you’re worth using a bottle of sulfuric acid to throw at you? Do you know how expensive sulfuric acid is? Ten bucks for a hundred milliliters."

Skylar Hughes, "..."

Paige Sterling said, "Stop growing a heart, you should try growing a brain."

Skylar Hughes was a bit embarrassed, "You carried a bottle of honey for no reason, it scared out of my wits."

"I drink honey grapefruit tea, isn’t it normal to carry honey?"

Sumr Xavier ca over, "Skylar Hughes, did you develop delusions of persecution all on your own? You think everyone’s out to get you but never consider your actual worth in being targeted. Aren’t you a little too full of yourself?"

Skylar Hughes gritted her teeth fiercely, she was so embarrassed.

She suspected Paige Sterling did it on purpose.

But in front of so many people, she couldn’t keep dwelling on it.

"Sorry Paige Sterling, I overthought it."

"You certainly did overthink a bit."

At that mont, applause suddenly rang out from the side.

Everyone looked over and saw Apex’s Crown Prince Henry Hale clapping.

Sumr Xavier asked irritably, "Henry Hale, why are you clapping for no reason?"

Henry Hale smiled, his deanor was elegant, and his smile was warm, making people feel good.

"Got sothing on my hand, just clapping it off casually."

Paige Sterling glanced at Henry Hale, and walked away.

She picked a quieter spot to sit, and soon she disappeared, Sumr Xavier looked around and couldn’t find her, he told Austin Xavier, "See what Angus Langdon did, at my birthday party, what’s the point in bringing in two annoying people?"

Austin Xavier said nothing, he was probably also one of those annoying people to Paige Sterling.

At that mont, Paige Sterling was by the swimming pool, there was no one around here.

She sat for a while, checked the ti, and decided she should head back.

She got up, and suddenly a person erged at the exit, "Paige!"

It was Seth Shaw, dressed in a staff uniform, looking expectantly at Paige Sterling.

"Paige, I know you still have feelings for in your heart. I broke your heart back then, made you utterly disappointed, and that’s why you’re not willing to forgive easily now. But I won’t give up, soday I’ll touch your heart with my sincerity..."

Darn this idiot!

Paige Sterling didn’t see sincerity, only shaless pestering.

She had already embarrassed Seth Shaw in front of the reporters and dia, yet he still dared to speak of love to her.

Looks like she didn’t hit him hard enough.

Paige Sterling walked up to Seth Shaw, and just as he was about to speak, she punched him in the eye socket.

Seth Shaw’s eye socket imdiately beca bruised.

He covered his eye, "Paige, what are you doing?"

Paige Sterling asked Seth Shaw, "Seth Shaw, do you still think I love you now?"

Seth Shaw, "I..."

Paige Sterling, "Seems like you still think so."

Paige Sterling swung her fist again, hitting Seth Shaw’s other eye socket, "Now then, do you think I love you?"

"Paige, you..."

Paige Sterling was already tired of listening to him talk and simply started punching and hitting Seth Shaw all over.

Seeing Seth Shaw annoyed her, but you have to admit, hitting soone felt much better than hitting a sandbag.

If Seth Shaw liked being her sandbag and approached her, she really wouldn’t mind it.

Everyday being cooped up in the lab, you always need an outlet to vent, right?

Seth Shaw finally managed to stagger to his feet and ran off rolling and crawling.

How co when they were together, he didn’t see this violent side of Paige?

After he ran off, Paige Sterling looked toward a corner.

There stood a shadow—a person who had been standing there for quite a while.

Paige Sterling said faintly, "Young Master Hale, enjoy the show?"

Henry Hale stepped out of the shadows and laughed, "Wasn’t deliberately spying, just saw you were busy, didn’t want to interrupt."

Paige Sterling gave him a glance, recently it seed she saw Henry Hale quite frequently. Just this month alone, she had seen him in various occasions at least ten tis.

Henry Hale walked up to Paige Sterling, "Does Miss Sterling have a fondness for sweets?"

Paige Sterling thought, given the animosity between her and the Hale Family, if Henry Hale was still being so cordial to her now, it was either genuine generosity or sothing fishy.

And where in this world is anyone truly willing to return kindness for animosity?

So Paige Sterling suspected Henry Hale was brewing up sothing inside.

Yet this person’s disposition was so deep, she couldn’t even tell what Henry Hale was thinking.

"I do like it a bit."

Henry Hale said, "I know a master pastry chef who does a great job, I’ll introduce you to him another day, Miss Sterling."

"No need for that, my gentleman at ho makes excellent desserts; I’m already overwheld."

Henry Hale raised an eyebrow, "So Mr. Hawthorne can also cook."

He said, "Such a man is indeed rare, no wonder he caught Miss Sterling’s eye, it’s truly a pity..."

But he did not say what the pity was.

Paige Sterling most hated people who spoke half and left half unsaid, always acting mysteriously making others guess their thoughts.

She really didn’t have the ti for this.

"Does Mr. Hale have anything else?"

It was clear Paige Sterling was impatient; Henry Hale chuckled, "Miss Sterling is quite capable, hopefully there will be a day when we can collaborate."

After speaking, he left the swimming pool first.

Paige Sterling withdrew her gaze, rembering that before she crossed to the interstellar era, Apex was still an industry giant, and later Henry Hale recruited a lot of talents, Apex was at its peak.

If not for Penson, Apex should be even more prosperous now under Henry Hale’s leadership.

Yet due to Penson, Apex’s progress was insignificant, and no one paid attention.

Given the nature of the Hale Family, and her new and old grievances with them, it seed a tough battle awaited in the future.

At this mont, Mona Wright was also standing not far away, she saw Paige Sterling standing alone by the pool, unsure of what she was thinking, her gaze flickered, and she quickly ca up with a plan to teach Paige Sterling a lesson.

Later, she would pretend to accidentally sprain her ankle and fall towards Paige Sterling, effectively pushing Paige Sterling into the pool.

Paige Sterling was wearing white today; falling into the water would surely be humiliating.

Mona Wright chuckled and walked to Paige Sterling’s side, then pretended not to be steady and directly fell toward Paige Sterling.

But Paige Sterling stood there unmoving, looking at her with a slight smile, "Miss Wright, are you alright?"

Plan failed, Mona Wright’s expression stiffened, she imdiately straightened up, but didn’t want to miss this chance.

She thought for a mont, then pretended to sprain her ankle again, leaning towards Paige Sterling.
