The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 315: Hope
Thinking about Skylar Hughes’ recent relationship with Henry Hale, Paige Sterling felt that perhaps Skylar would cause her even more trouble later.
Since that’s the case, maybe she shouldn’t show any rcy anymore.
After all, soone like Skylar who often flashes her presence in front of her, even if she can’t hurt her, is still quite disgusting.
If Skylar really makes a move this ti, then catch her red-handed and make sure she can’t rise again.
With that thought, Paige had no interest in dealing with Skylar further and turned to leave.
And what Skylar did tonight quickly spread around.
But concerning soone already surrounded by scandals, nobody was surprised by her further malicious actions.
What surprised people more was Paige, how can she tolerate Skylar bouncing around in her face at this point?
After leaving the hotel, Sumr Xavier clung to her.
Paige slled the alcohol on Sumr and saw her walking unsteadily, realizing she was drunk, she asked, "Sumr Xavier, why are you drunk again?"
"I’m happy," Sumr hugged Paige’s arm, her head snuggling closer, "Just thinking about how amazing our Paige is makes happy."
Paige’s lips twitched; anyone unaware would think she was Sumr’s daughter, and Sumr was hoping she’d be successful.
Paige tried to push her away, but she was like sticky candy, impossible to get rid of.
Paige had no choice but to let her be and asked, "Where are your parents?"
Sumr said, "I told them I’m going back with you, so they’ve already left."
The Xavier couple now trusted Paige completely; once they heard Sumr was with Paige, they simply left their daughter behind.
Paige saw Julian driving the car over and looked at him, "Mr. Hawthorne, co help carry Sumr Xavier. She’s drunk, let’s send her ho first."
Julian stared at Paige, making her feel puzzled, "What’s up?"
Julian asked with a hint of grievance, "What am I to you?"
Without hesitation, Paige replied, "My husband."
Julian said, "Then you’re asking your husband to carry another woman? Are you being too generous, or did I mishear?"
This was a damned risky question; Paige imdiately answered, "You misheard, I’ll carry her."
She went to carry Sumr, confident she’s strong enough to carry her.
Julian’s expression still didn’t improve, "You can’t either."
Paige asked, "Why?"
Julian was about to answer when he saw Austin Xavier’s car approaching, and said, "Her brother’s here."
Paige saw it was indeed Austin, so she handed Sumr over to him.
Austin stared intently at Paige, while Julian coldly glanced at Austin before packing Paige into the car and driving away.
Austin’s gaze was deep and thoughtful.
...
Skylar Hughes and Henry Hale’s relationship was getting closer, and anwhile, Skylar visited the Sterling Family more frequently.
Moreover, she always chose tis when Jared Sullivan and Paige weren’t around, but she never found any gains.
Paige rarely returns to the Sterling Family, and Skylar hasn’t had the chance to mingle at Silverstream Bay where Paige resides.
However, Skylar didn’t expect that one day, as she was planning to leave after spending half a day at the Sterling Family, Paige would return.
Skylar’s face froze, but Paige acted as if she didn’t see her.
As Skylar planned to continue leaving, she suddenly noticed the confidential file folder in Paige’s hand.
She overheard Yvette Hughes asking Paige, "Paige, why did you co back?"
Paige replied, "The company’s new product is launching; I’m bringing it back for Dad to take a look."
A new product?
Skylar’s eyelids twitched hard, and looking again, she saw Paige throwing the folder on the coffee table before going for a drink.
The folder wasn’t completely sealed, and with Paige’s large movents, a corner of a docunt was exposed, showing diagrams resembling chanical parts and smart-related words.
Every new product developed by Penson seems to involve consulting Jared Sullivan.
Paige doesn’t necessarily expect precious advice from Jared, as he’s clueless about technology.
It’s simply out of dependence and trust in her father.
She hopes every decision she makes, Jared Sullivan has the right to know in advance.
Moreover, she makes the details very comprehensive for Jared to understand.
So Skylar was sure that the folder contained detailed information about Paige’s new product.
It’s known that every new product launch by Penson would cause a surge in sales, and continuous product updates have made Penson progressively powerful, establishing its leading position in the industry.
But if these details were obtained by another company, like Apex Technologies, which opposes Penson, it would be devastating for Penson. Apex could seize the market before Penson and reclaim the industry leadership, causing Penson to suffer a silent loss.
More importantly, although Henry loves her, the Hale Family looks down on her background, but if she could present the data of Penson’s soon-to-launch product to the Hale Family, demonstrating her value, they certainly wouldn’t underestimate her anymore and definitely agree for her and Henry to be together.
Thus, even if this ans thoroughly offending the Sterling Family, it wouldn’t matter since the Hale Family would protect her.
Besides, making Paige suffer in silence would surely infuriate her.
Imagining that scene made Skylar smile involuntarily, her eyes subtly sweeping over the folder.
How should she take this folder into her possession?
Skylar pondered this question while moving closer to the coffee table, but before her hand could touch the folder, Paige returned with her drink.
Skylar imdiately withdrew her hand, sowhat disappointed.
Of course, knowing the situation now, she clearly couldn’t secure the folder; this matter needed further planning.
Thinking that Penson usually conducts a raffle event on Vblog a month before the new product release.
Now, Paige’s Vblog lacks new product information, so there’s still a month until the product release; she has ample ti and doesn’t need to rush.
Skylar waited for Paige to go upstairs and casually spoke with Yvette Hughes, learning that Jared Sullivan typically takes half a month to finish reviewing the docunts Paige brings, which reassured her.
This ant that the new product’s data would remain at the Sterling Family’s residence, and Paige isn’t often there, while Jared is mostly at the company during the day, increasing her chances of getting the folder significantly. She shouldn’t rush; she must proceed slowly.
Skylar called Yvette daily for indirect information about the Sterling Family.
Yvette, sentintal and believing her daughter cared for her due to the pregnancy, felt delighted receiving Skylar’s calls and always had lengthy chats with her.
One day, Skylar learned from Yvette that Jared Sullivan seed to have gone abroad and wouldn’t be back at the Sterling ho, and Paige certainly wouldn’t return either.
Skylar realized her chance had co; as long as she could get this data, her hope of marrying Henry Hale would rise.
Whether it brought trouble for Yvette was beyond her concern.
In her view, Yvette, who abandoned her for wealth and fortune, never planned for her as a daughter. Now with a baby on the way, she will likely care even less for her.
If so, there was no need to consider Yvette much.
Moreover, Yvette was Jared Sullivan’s wife, Paige’s stepmother, and now pregnant with a Sterling Family child. They wouldn’t do anything drastic to her.
That evening, Skylar arrived at the Sterling residence, where Nanny Sutton happened to be on her way ho, leaving mainly Yvette there.
Skylar asked to stay with Yvette, stating she felt uneasy with Yvette alone in the house.
Recently, Yvette’s daughter was more caring, and since Jared wasn’t ho either, Yvette naturally agreed.
Before long, Yvette felt sleepy, and Skylar watched her settle down before relaxing herself.
