The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 27: Lunatic

Sumr Xavier laughed, "What kind of people are these."

With people who don’t matter, Paige Sterling couldn’t be bothered to comnt. She glanced at the ti and said to Sumr Xavier, "I should be heading back."

Sumr Xavier nodded, "Alright then, oh by the way, I changed my WeChat, so add and accept my request."

Paige Sterling replied with a hum.

Later that night, soone added Paige Sterling on WeChat. She glanced at the profile picture, but it didn’t seem like sothing Sumr Xavier would use.

But apart from Sumr Xavier, who else would add her at that ti?

Paige Sterling simply accepted the request and noted the na as Sumr Xavier.

Sumr Xavier quickly sent a very brief ssage, "It’s ."

Paige Sterling smirked, "I knew it was you."

Paige Sterling recalled what Jared Sullivan had ntioned earlier and asked Sumr Xavier, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

Paige Sterling said, "There’s a young guy who’s in business competition with my dad, but whenever he competes with my dad, he’d rather take a loss himself and withdraw, giving the advantage to my dad. What do you think he’s thinking?"

There was a long silence from Sumr Xavier’s side, the ssage showed as ’typing’ for quite a while.

Paige Sterling was puzzled, was the question really that hard to answer?

After a while, Sumr Xavier finally sent a ssage, "So mountains in this world are not to be offended."

"What do you an? What mountains?"

There was no reply, just a with a semi-permanent smile.

Paige Sterling waited for a bit, but seeing no response from Sumr Xavier, she went to sleep.

The next morning, when she checked her phone, she saw Sumr Xavier had sent a ssage late at night.

"Good night."

Paige Sterling, "...?" Was Sumr Xavier out of her mind?

It was then her phone rang; it was a notification that her package had arrived, asking her to get it at the guard’s office.

She just got off the elevator when she unexpectedly ran into Skylar Hughes in the lobby.

Seeing Skylar Hughes felt like seeing annoyance personified, such an irritation,

But Skylar Hughes greeted her warmly.

"Paige, I was just about to look for you. I saw you had a package at the guard’s office when I ca in, so I brought it over for you."

Paige took the package from Skylar Hughes, only to find it had already been opened.

She looked coldly at Skylar Hughes, "You opened my package?"

Skylar Hughes smiled and said, "I just wanted to check if there was any damage, you don’t mind, do you?"

Paige kept her cold expression, "Skylar Hughes, if you don’t want to hit you, you’d better behave. If it’s not yours, don’t touch it."

Skylar Hughes looked hurt, "Paige, are you mad? I just wanted to help, I’m sorry..."

Paige couldn’t be bothered with her and turned to leave.

But Skylar Hughes blocked the elevator, "Paige, these things are so expensive and useless, why do you buy them?"

"Should I also report to you what I ate and wore today?"

"I’m just concerned, that’s all. Don’t be angry," Skylar Hughes seed oblivious to Paige’s anger, "Paige, how’s your startup going? Really don’t need my help?"

"Skylar Hughes, are you done? If you have the ti to watch all day, you should try doing sothing aningful yourself."

"I only care about you, why don’t you appreciate it?"

Constantly going on about concern was almost making Paige sick.

"Nobody’s a fool, you know exactly why you’re doing this, stop testing my patience, Skylar Hughes."

Seeing her efforts unappreciated, Skylar Hughes got angry too.

"Paige, do you think I like being a thorn in your side? I’m just worried that Dad will be foolish and you’ll squander the family fortune. It’s for the Sterling Family, for Dad, I don’t want his hard work to go to waste. You say it so nicely, that you won’t ask Dad for money, but you constantly buy these expensive useless items, who knows if you’ll ask him for money for this bottomless pit in the future? If you want to reassure , swear you won’t ask Dad for money or take his money."

Paige laughed, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

"He’s my own dad, why should I swear to you? Why should I swear a poison oath to reassure you? Skylar Hughes, it’s my dad’s money, he can give it to whoever he wants. Why are you always so concerned?"

She truly didn’t know where Skylar Hughes got the nerve to co every few days with this sense of entitlent to warn her.

Knowing Jared’s character, he would never mistreat Skylar Hughes but would surely not satisfy her ambitions either.

Yvette Hughes understood this, yet Skylar Hughes had not learned it over the years.

And Skylar Hughes always acted like she’d done so much for the Sterling Family, as if Jared not giving her the inheritance was doing her a great injustice.

Paige’s words seed to give Skylar Hughes sothing to latch onto, and she imdiately said, "Paige, do you really an that? If Uncle really gives all the assets to , you won’t fight for it?"

"The empire I, Paige, want, I’ll conquer on my own."

The hardcore girl was just that staunch.

"But Skylar Hughes, I warn you, don’t ever do anything to harm my dad, or I will never let you off. Don’t think I’m just saying it, I won’t forgive anyone who harms my dad."

"Of course, I wouldn’t harm Dad, he’s my dad too, and no one cares about him more than I do. I’m glad you care about Dad’s feelings, and I believe Dad will be happy to see us getting along. Let’s not fall out over these trivial matters."

With such a casual tone, you’d think it was Paige who was being troubleso.

Then she acted all familiar again.

"By the way, Paige, earlier today, I ran into a friend of yours. She said she wanted to see you, and knowing you had so misunderstandings because of her, I brought her in to explain."

Skylar Hughes waved soone over, and when Paige glanced over casually, she saw lody rcer approaching.

Paige’s expression turned cold again, "You brought an outsider to bother ? Skylar Hughes, do you truly think I’m being lenient with you? Do you believe that with a single word from , I can’t make you leave the Sterling Family?"

Skylar Hughes’s expression changed, "Paige, I told you, I just wanted lody rcer to clarify the misunderstandings between us. I never instructed her to do anything against you, I hope you understand that."

"Crazy."

Paige turned to leave but was seized by lody rcer as she rushed over.

"Paige, Seth Shaw and I truly love each other, why are you doing this to us?"

Paige, "...?"
