The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 71: Confidence
"Big brother, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life, right? How did you manage to find such an amazing woman?"
Julian Hawthorne’s lips curved slightly.
Simon Hawthorne saw he was in a good mood and leaned in to say, "Big brother, how about you introduce to work at sister-in-law’s company as her assistant?"
Julian’s gaze suddenly beca sharp and Simon imdiately said, "Big brother, I’m doing this for you. I heard that everyone at sister-in-law’s company, from employees to key research personnel, are all young guys in their twenties. Aren’t you worried that being around them all the ti, she might develop feelings? You’d be so pitiful then! If I infiltrate the company, I can help keep an eye on her for you..."
"There’s no need, I trust her," Julian didn’t give Simon any chance, "Don’t go there and be a nuisance."
Simon, "...", Okay, he admits he just wants to tag along with sister-in-law, but why does big brother’s tone have a deep disdain for him?
Is he that bad?
Simon couldn’t help but take out a mirror to check himself, then asked Julian, "Big brother, can you ask sister-in-law to make a t-shirt like this? I want one with a red heart on the chest too."
Julian sneered, "Keep dreaming."
Simon, "..."
He chuckled dryly, "I’m just kidding, big brother. How about lending so money? This request isn’t too much, right?"
But Julian directly refused, "No way."
Simon, "...Why!?"
Julian, "Your sister-in-law is starting a business, she doesn’t have much money, and my money is for household expenses."
"Household expenses don’t cost that much, and I’ve noticed sister-in-law is quite thrifty."
Julian said, "She doesn’t spend, I spend for her."
Simon, "...", Couldn’t tell my big brother is actually a wife-stan at heart, completely soaring towards the path of a devoted husband with no turning back.
But having such an amazing wife, it would be worth being a devoted husband or even a sycophant.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have such luck, and one can’t ss with brother’s wife, not even glance too much, or else brother would take serious asures.
Yet Simon still refused to give up asking for money, persistently nagging.
However, Julian, once cold-hearted, refuses to budge, offering no exception.
After work, he went straight to the mall; do you think he was moved by his brother and wanted to buy things for him?
No, he just cares for his wife and buys for her.
While other families have won splurging like crazy, it’s different in his big brother’s family; the one splurging is his big brother.
Now whenever the mall staff see him, it’s like spotting a cash cow—every ti Julian clears out the mall, they earn a hefty commission.
Simon just followed behind Julian, watching him with an earnest expression picking out jewelry and bags for Paige Sterling, feeling sowhat eye-burning.
Paige really turned his straight-laced brother into this.
But regarding Julian’s taste in picking jewelry and bags, Simon honestly can’t agree.
"Big brother, are you sure sister-in-law likes what you’ve chosen?"
Julian humd in affirmation but suddenly rembered that each ti Paige saw these things he bought, her reactions seed to be indifferent.
Julian understood it as Paige being accustod to these things, so naturally, there’s not much reaction.
"Have you seen sister-in-law wearing them?"
Julian, "..."
Simon imdiately saw Julian’s expression that spoke volus.
"Big brother, you should buy things sister-in-law likes and can use. Buying more of these doesn’t an you’ve reached sister-in-law’s heart."
Indeed, a straight man is still a straight man, in need of tips from a relationship expert like him.
Julian suddenly stopped buying, turning to leave.
Simon asked, "Big brother, why aren’t you buying now?"
Because he realized what he should buy; Paige doesn’t like these things, she likes buying experintal materials.
He imdiately called Secretary Jones, "Is there any auction for things like teorites recently?"
Shaun Jones, "..."
Simon, "..."
anwhile, Paige Sterling was returning to Silverstream Bay from Islet Labs.
But on the way, her car got rear-ended.
And the one who rear-ended her was Austin Xavier.
Paige had reason to suspect Austin did it on purpose, her gaze at him chilled.
Austin looked unusually innocent, "I really didn’t do it on purpose."
Paige sneered, Austin pursed his lips, "Let’s go sit in the café inside and wait for the tow truck to handle this."
Paige had no objections, just as she needed to discuss car compensation with Austin.
The two went into the café, but having been at odds for so long, they sat down wanting to talk peacefully and didn’t know what to say.
Thus, they sat silent.
Skylar Hughes had scheduled a coffee et-up with so friends and saw Paige and Austin when they ca in.
But Skylar’s corner was at a turn, so Paige and Austin didn’t notice her.
Seeing Paige still living glamorously while she had fallen so low, Skylar’s eyes brimd with hatred.
She sneered once and imdiately took out her phone, snapping several photos of Paige, even capturing monts making Paige and Austin seem intimate.
Her downfall today was caused by Paige; she would never miss any chance to strike against Paige.
Is it too much to ask Paige for so interest now?
Of course, she wouldn’t directly post these photos anymore.
Skylar used her alternate account to send the photos to lody rcer.
lody now also resents Paige deeply, naturally standing on the sa side as Skylar, instantly uploading these photos to Weibo.
First, for attention, and second, to undermine Paige; her reputation already stinks, she might as well pursue the notorious fa route.
After posting the photo collage, she added text: Seeing you find happiness, I feel glad for you.
Now Paige’s reputation online is nearly intertwined with being a kept woman. Posting these pictures with the Crown Prince of the Xavier Group as the main character, netizens surely wouldn’t think pure thoughts.
"Haha, last ti it was a middle-aged, unmarried old man, now she’s clutching onto a rich kid’s thigh. You’ve got to admit, so people’s ans are quite clever, making many won feel ashad."
"This woman isn’t any better, about the sa as lody rcer, the circle is indeed quite ssy."
"One can’t understand what these wealthy people are thinking, forsaking good won for soone anyone can have."
Penson’s robotic custor service quickly captured these negative online posts and alerted the staff.
The staff conducted manual screening and imdiately reported to Paige.
Paige only smiled, "Ignore those ssages."
The staff worriedly replied, "But will it affect the launch of Penson’s product?"
With such a bad reputation, will anyone want to buy Penson’s products?
Online people are brainless too, chasing rumors, when Paige clearly isn’t like that.
Paige still just smiled, "Don’t worry, they can’t affect Penson."
Paige was extrely confident, and she had the reason to be, causing people to trust her unconsciously.
Anyway, now at Penson, nearly everyone has a strange confidence in Paige.
