Chapter 75 Making Trouble
Jocelyn had been nice and popular five years ago, so everyone in the company used to respect her. Such a thing had never happened before.
But things were different now. She was no longer the top artist of the company or a popular actress. Now, she was a has-been who had scandals. When a man was going downhill, everyone would give him a push. So, even a cleaner dared to scold her.
But the cleaner did not know people would change. Jocelyn had a new life principle now. She would not attack unless she was attacked. But once she was attacked, she must counterattack.
After Jocelyn unceremoniously kicked over the bucket, the dirty water soaked the cleaner's pants and shoes.
The cleaner jumped up with a scream and fiercely asked, "What are you doing? How can you bully a senior like me?"
"Who saw I bully you? Is it because I have not come back for five years that you think I am a pushover?"
Jocelyn dialed Ernest's number and put him on speakerphone, saying, "Mr. Cloutier, I'm waiting for you in the reception room now. But a cleaner wants to kick me out. Do you think I should stay to wait for you?"
Soon, Ernest replied, "Which cleaner? If she dares to be disrespectful to you, I will fire her! Ask her to go to the finance department to get her salary."
Ernest needed Jocelyn to attend the press conference, so he must let her stay.
Jocelyn hung up the phone, looked at the cleaner, and said, "Did you hear it? Mr. Cloutier asked you to go to the finance department to get your salary. Hurry up!"
The cleaner had not expected Jocelyn would directly call Ernest. Ernest needed Jocelyn to help him to save the situation, so he would fire the cleaner instead of offending Jocelyn.
After being fired, the cleaner panicked and hurriedly begged in a humble voice, "Ms. Murray, please forgive me. Don't fire me! I should not have talked such nonsense. I am old and confused, so I offended you. I'm sorry!"
The cleaner slapped herself while speaking, hoping Jocelyn would let her go.
"You are stupid! You should not have taken advantage of your seniority to bully young people!"
Jocelyn condescendingly stared at her and coldly said, "Don't forget your identity. You're just a cleaner, so you should know how much you weigh in the company. Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can humiliate me? Don't you know a sleeping lion is stronger than a barking dog? Although I have a scandal now, I'm still an artist of Icehive Entertainment. Even Mr. Cloutier must show respect to me! Even if I leave Icehive Entertainment, I am still a member of the Murray family. I can easily make you disappear from Pailworth!"
Her warning almost scared the cleaner to death.
"Yes! Ms. Murray, you're right! I was wrong! Please forgive me! I will clean your shoes."
The cleaner knelt at Jocelyn's feet and wiped the dirty water off her shoes with her sleeves while pleading.
"Just this once. Get out!" Jocelyn yelled.
Hearing this, the cleaner picked up the bucket and mop and fled as if she had been granted amnesty.
Looking at her flustered back, Jocelyn showed a cold look, thinking she would fight back no matter who tried to make trouble for her. After all, she was not a mild sheep to be slaughtered!
Jocelyn didn't wait long. Ernest came to the reception room to meet her as soon as returning to the company.
"Jocelyn, there's half an hour left. Let's go to the conference room. The PR department will have a temporary meeting."
Ernest hated Jocelyn but put on a caring face when facing her.
"OK." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jocelyn knew he was pretending to value her because he wanted to continue to use her. She knew he was good at hiding his emotions. Five years ago, his hypocritical face had deceived her.
She did not need to pretend to be polite. Facing Ernest now, she had no mood swings. She could remain so calm because she had never wholeheartedly loved him!
Then, she followed him to a conference room.
Before the press conference, the PR department needed to hold a meeting to discuss the questions and answers.
Jocelyn's main task was to get familiar with the draft. After going on stage, she must answer the reporter's questions according to the content the PR department had prepared to ensure nothing went wrong.
After reading the draft, Jocelyn found they just wanted her to admit it was all her fault and bear the responsibility alone. They would let her be the scapegoat.
At the end of the meeting, Ernest said, "Jocelyn, are we clear now? You just need to cooperate with the PR department. But you must answer questions according to the draft."
"Yes."
Jocelyn sneered in her heart. And no one noticed the indifference and sarcasm flashing in her eyes. If Ernest wanted her to be the scapegoat, she would satisfy him!
...
The press conference officially started at the conference center of Icehive Entertainment at nine. All the mainstream media in Pailworth had come, and the scene was spectacular. After all, everyone wanted to report first-hand information.
The members of the PR department came to the stage first. After the PR manager gave a speech. Jocelyn went on stage.
As soon as she appeared, all the cameras began to take pictures of her.
Jocelyn was wearing blue wide-leg trousers and a slim suit. She had tied her hair into a bun and put on delicate makeup, exuding a powerful aura. Surrounded by bodyguards, she slowly walked to the center of the stage.
Seeing the protagonist, the reporters swarmed forward and started asking questions.
"Jocelyn, did you scheme the Siumix incident?"
"Jocelyn, what did you seize Theresa's job after returning from abroad? Will you stage a comeback?"
"Jocelyn, can you tell us more about your retirement five years ago?"
"Jocelyn, did you take revenge on Icehive Entertainment because Mr. Cloutier broke up with you?"
"Jocelyn, did Mr. Cloutier kidnap your assistant to threaten you?"
...
There were too many questions, and all of them were sharp.
Jocelyn didn't answer any of them but bowed to the reporters first. Then, she walked to her seat on the stage and sat down.
Soon, the PR department began to host the press conference and told their version of the story to the media. Then, it was time for Jocelyn to answer questions.
