The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 90: Signs of Trouble

As she spoke, she had already taken out a check, her eyebrows and eyes conveying a sense of superiority.

"Here’s a million. Take it and leave, find a good man to marry, and stop doing such things. Save yourself from embarrassing your future children."

Paige Sterling glanced indifferently at the million. If it were any other money, she might have taken it.

But this was the money Helen Hale brought to buy her away from Julian Hawthorne, which Paige couldn’t possibly accept.

She looked at Helen Hale with a smirk, "Miss Hale, are you kidding ? Julian Hawthorne has so much money, he gives more than a million for my living expenses every day. You think one million would make leave Julian? Do you think I’d do such a losing deal?"

"Do you actually want more?" Helen Hale sneered, "I really underestimated your greed. Tell , how much do you want?"

Paige scratched her head, "Considering Julian Hawthorne’s worth, if it’s not at least twenty billion, you probably wouldn’t have the nerve to ask to leave, right?"

Helen Hale widened her eyes in shock, staring at Paige, "Are you crazy for money? Twenty billion? Why don’t you rob a bank?"

"Seems like Miss Hale doesn’t have that much money."

Paige crossed her arms, "Also, recently Apex has hit a rough patch, being crushed by Penson to the point of suffocation, with sales in a sharp decline. Miss Apex may not even afford a decent bag now, so it’s reasonable you can’t co up with much money."

Helen Hale instinctively hid her handbag.

She used to spend money lavishly, but lately when she asked her dad for money, he wasn’t as generous. She used to change a bag every day, but now this one was bought half a month ago.

Seeing her actions, Paige took out a small mirror and looked at herself, "Really, how could I be so over the top, pushing Apex to this. Now even the heiress of Apex can only throw out a million at people, if I keep pushing, will Apex collapse completely?"

Helen Hale turned green, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Paige cast her eyes back on Helen Hale, calmly, with a sense of pressure.

"Miss Hale, I know you’re broke, but I won’t make it hard on you. Don’t waste my ti either."

Even taking an elevator, one could encounter an idiot, this is enough.

Helen Hale was livid with anger, a woman who climbed up through her body dared to mock her like this? Saying she could bring down Apex?

Utterly ridiculous!

Apex is an industry giant, like she could topple it at will?!

"Miss Sterling, I advise you not to boast. Your current pride is just borrowed from Hawthorne Group!"

"Without Julian, you’re just an actress in the entertainnt circle!"

"You will never beco Julian’s wife, beco the lady of the Hawthorne Family!"

Seeing her anxiously repeating these words, Paige asked, "Miss Hale, have you finished?"

Helen Hale’s face turned even greener. She was so furious she was jumping, yet Paige remained so calm, making her feel like a clown in front of Paige.

"If you’re done, would you mind stepping aside, the elevator has arrived."

Seeing Helen Hale unmoved, Paige reached out and pushed her arm, shifting Helen Hale aside.

Then she walked out of the elevator without looking back.

Helen Hale stomped fiercely several tis, causing the elevator to tremble, frightening her into quickly running out of the elevator.

At this ti, Julian Hawthorne exited another elevator, and Helen Hale imdiately changed her expression, smiling as she approached Julian Hawthorne.

"Julian, I’d like to have a chat with you."

Julian Hawthorne gave her a fleeting glance, his steps unhalted.

Helen Hale trailed behind, "I’m working at Hawthorne Group now, will you always treat with such an attitude, Julian?"

Helen Hale quickly couldn’t keep up with Julian Hawthorne’s pace.

"I just ran into Miss Sterling and we had a little chat, about you!"

Julian Hawthorne admittedly stopped walking, but his gaze towards Helen Hale was particularly icy, "Did you forget my warning?"

Helen Hale was slightly intimidated by Julian Hawthorne’s stare.

She swallowed, then heard Julian Hawthorne say, "Stop bothering her, do you not understand?"

"I didn’t, it was just a coincidence, I hope she clears up her identity, not to have unrealistic dreams..."

"The one with unrealistic dreams is you, Miss Hale, you might have Stockholm syndro, I suggest you see a therapist.

"Julian, I only love you, how can you treat like this?" Helen Hale looked hurt, "You really misunderstand deeply, I want to know, did Paige say sothing about to you? We’ve known each other for so many years, you know I’m not that kind of person..."

Seeing Julian Hawthorne walking forward again, she continued to follow.

"Julian, I know you’re still captivated by her now and can’t let go, so things I shouldn’t say at this ti, but even if my words are unpleasant, even if I don’t have the standing to say them, for Hawthorne Group, for you, I must speak out!"

She said, "Penson is now thriving, I think you should seize the opportunity to take back Penson. Paige is just an actress in the entertainnt industry, she doesn’t understand business at all, she can’t manage Penson well at all. Penson used her to create hype successfully, but letting her continue to manage Penson is not feasible, she doesn’t have the talent to assu the role of Penson’s chairman."

Shaun Jones standing nearby glanced at Julian Hawthorne, thinking Miss Hale really overestimates herself, that’s clearly Paige’s enterprise, what does it have to do with Hawthorne Group?

If it has nothing to do with Hawthorne Group, surely it has even less to do with the Hale Family?

Why is she so concerned?

Sure enough, Julian Hawthorne’s expression turned ominous, "Who told you Penson belongs to Hawthorne Group?"

"Everyone in the company knows, they also hope you can regain Penson..."

Is there really such a thought in the company?

Julian Hawthorne initially found it convenient to et Paige without thinking much, but now Helen Hale reminded him.

He turned back around and said to Shaun Jones, "Notify the directors and departnt managers for a eting."

Shaun Jones nodded and imdiately went to make the calls.

Helen Hale thought Julian Hawthorne had finally listened to her.

Great, Julian Hawthorne wants to take back Penson, Paige will soon realize through this blow that she is really worthless in Julian Hawthorne’s eyes.

In the eting room, the directors and departnt managers had all arrived.

After just wrapping up a eting, Julian Hawthorne ca back for another one, everyone was baffled.

Julian Hawthorne’s gaze swept over the crowd and asked, "What are your thoughts on Penson?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Julian Hawthorne ant.

After a long while, soone finally spoke up.
