Chapter 115

A furrow formed on her downcast face.

“There’s no need for that. it was nothing. You should keep the money.”

Nell rescued Lizzy because fate brought them together and she had taken an immediate liking to the little girl. It was never about the money.

There was an indistinct gleam in the old lady’s eyes.

Instead of pushing the envelope, the old lady smiled and said, “If that’s the case, I really have to thank you!”

Nodding, Nell was ready to stride away when out of the sudden, Lizzy tugged her by the sleeve.

She lowered her head to meet the gaze of the young child’s supple face. Craning her neck, the little girl was the embodiment of innocence and adorability.

Nell’s ill humor was quickly lifted. Tugged at the heart, she hunched over and softly spoke, “What’s wrong?”

“Mommy, will we meet again?”

Nell smiled.

It seemed that she was not only the one unwilling to part, the girl was sharing the same feelings for her.

However, their paths may not intertwine again.

Nonetheless, she did not have the heart to break the news to her. Hence, she reached out to shuffle her hair before answering, “We’ll meet again if destiny brings us together.”

“Can you leave your phone number? I’ll call you when I have the time, is that okay?”

Nell was taken aback.

The old lady chimed in. “Yes, yes, yes. The child is fond of you! Please leave your number. She’ll be able to keep in touch with you when she misses you.”

Nell gave it a thought and felt that it was a good idea.

Thus, she revealed her phone number to the young child.

Nell was twitching by the corner of her eyes watching as the young child solemnly saved her contact under “Mommy” on her grandmother’s phone.

This young child really bought into her own words!

She wondered how the kid’s real mother would feel learning about the name saved in the contact list.

Nevertheless, Nell did not call for an amendment. She was unable to change the young child’s mind despite her multiple efforts last night, insisting she was not her mother. It was not as though she could make a difference now.

After leaving her phone number, Nell saw the grandparent and granddaughter combo out before driving to work.

On the other side, the young child and elder got into a car and saw Nell’s car off with an elated look on their faces.

“Grandma, I really found my mommy! She’s really my mommy!”

The old lady grinned. “Congratulations, Lizzy! Did you have a great time with mommy last night?”

Lizzy nodded heavily. “Yes, mommy is so soft and nice-smelling to hug. She told me a story too. Oh, her voice is beautiful. I really don’t want to part with mommy.”

The elder nodded. “I sounded her out just now. She’s really nice! Don’t worry, you don’t have to part with mommy anymore once your daddy’s back.

The young child frowned at the mention of her father.

“But daddy doesn’t know that we snuck out. Will he forgive me if he finds out?”

The old lady took a glance at her and gave her a meaningful smile.

“He will, don’t you worry.”

...

The same night, Gideon returned to Jincheng.

The maids in their household were coming back one after another at the end of their holidays.

Companies resumed their operations on the fifth day of Chinese New Year. It was business as usual.

Nell was already as busy as a bee at the start of the new year.

The reason was none other than the opening of an online variety talent show participated by a few Xinghui artists. Prior to the show, Nell arranged for them to join a high-end fashion show to boost their popularity.

This fashion show was organized by several top-notch designers in the nation. Newbies such as them were, of course, unqualified to enter but Nell managed to score a few slots and shoved them in.

With Anning International the main sponsor of the event, Xinghui as one of the collaborators played an active role in it.

Apart from these few newbies, Daniel who had returned from abroad, took part as well.

The major brand in this fashion show was U-Max. It just so happened that the brand was endorsed by Daniel.

With Daniel back from abroad, he could correspond with the brand’s desire to penetrate into the younger market within the nation. Hence, Daniel could be considered the leading man.

It was afternoon the next day.

U-Max called for a spring collection launch in New Times City.

News of Daniel attending the launch made waves within the entertainment and fan communities.

After all, Daniel had been branching out overseas and although he was equally as popular in the country, he was not as active.

His return was a secret so no one actually knew about it.

The sudden disclosure of his presence led to hearsay that he had returned a few days ago. He even signed on to an unknown company, which was also one of the collaborators, Xinghui Entertainment.

News spread like wildfire on the web, with opinions varying.

The people went on to check out who the hell Xinghui was to find favor with this godlike man.

To their surprise, their investigation shed light that Xinghui was a reputable company ten years ago but had declined over the years and was bought out after facing bankruptcy.

They unearthed that the company had only ten artists up to now. Apart from Lucy, who was noteworthy, the rest were newbies.

The company was not worth the mention, much less their ability to provide resources!

Yet, the godlike man chose to sign on? Was he cutting his own throat?

With the fans not having it, they stirred quite a commotion online.

On the other side.

Celine had caught wind of the news.

Recently, she avoided making public appearances and barely stayed in touch with Skylar. When she first heard of the news, she thought it was a fake.

Celine came to learn it was true after giving a call to Skylar to confirm.

She was up in arms.

Celine was of course aware that Xinghui was managed by Nell. She had been waiting for Nell to make a fool of herself but now she had managed to sign Daniel?

That was a sure-fire moneymaker right at her doorstep! Who would say no to that?

It was not just her but even Skylar was fuming.

As Skylar had been in the business for a very long time, she had built extensive connections. Her friends abroad had told her of Daniel’s plans to expand back in the country.

Originally, she wanted to seize the opportunity to enlist him into Fenghua. It would put Fenghua on a par with Anning International.

To her dismay, the man was snagged by Nell before she even made a move!

That lame company?

Ha! Was Daniel trying to do charity by signing on to it?

Skylar really could not figure Daniel out. She had a headache at the thought of it.

She was left without a choice now that he was already on a contract. It was better that she focused on the work at hand since there was no way she could snatch him over at this point.

With that in mind, she told Celine, “In regards to the matter I instructed you, are you ready?”

“Good. Remember! This is the only chance for you to turn things around! We can’t afford any mistakes, do you understand?”

“I understand. With those in the capital behind me, I trust that Nell won’t be able to stop my comeback despite her best efforts. Moreover...”

Setting her line of vision at the traffic outside the window, she scoffed.

“It’ll soon be the end of her. I’ll watch with a smile as she begs on the ground with her tail between her legs!”

Hearing this, Skylar was amused at a sudden thought.

“Oh, how I look forward to that day!”
