Chapter 60

Ethan wondered in shock, 'What? David actually kicked his own daughter out of the house for Mia? That old fox would never do something so foolish unless he had no other choice!"

He could tell that Mia was hinting at something. So, he tried to appear as gentle as possible while saying. "Mia, it's my fault for not properly overseeing this matter. I'm really sorry. Meanwhile, he thought, Tve finally seen Mia's tactics. She's ruthless, even toward her own family. She's definitely not someone to be trifled with.

She sighed and smiled, "It's okay. It's all in the past now. The Eldoria Group is about to make a comeback, and I don't want anything to go wrong at this critical moment. However, if anyone disregards the group's interests and becomes an obstacle, they shouldn't blame me for being ruthless." Her words clearly carried a clear warning and threat.

Ethan, with an awkward expression, agreed, "Exactly...

Mia remarked, "Ethan, I have something to take care of, so I'll get going now. Don't forget to watch the news." She sounded somewhat excited as if Ethan was in for a surprise. After speaking, her eyes darkened, and she raised an eyebrow before turning and walking away.

Soon after, a dark blue Ferrari was seen speeding along the highway. "Have you finished editing the video, Eliot?" Mia's eyes sparkled as she fiddled with the GPS, driving toward Universe Entertainment.

At the same time, sunlight bathed Eliot's soft features as fingers flew over the keyboard on his laptop. "It's done."

"Okay. I have another video on my phone. Edit this one too, Mia said, tossing her phone to Eliot.

A short while later, Eliot, upon watching the video, was almost stunned into silence. He stared at Mia's back in astonishment, his admiration for her growing deeper. He pondered, 'Ms. Reed had a plan all along. This video records. all of Ryan's misdeeds. If we add the footage of him threatening and cursing from his hospital bed, he will undoubtedly look like a complete villain.

Fueled by this realization, he became excited and eagerly dove into editing the video. He wrapped it up right when they pulled into the underground parking lot of Universe Entertainment.

Eliot asked. "It's all set, Ms. Reed. Should we go ahead and send it? He felt that the sooner this clarification video was released, the better, Mia, however, narrowed her eyes and replied, "Release the video tomorrow morning at nine after we've sold all the stocks of Hawthorne Enterprises and CrestCore Enterprise."

Nine or ten in the morning was the perfect time when entertainment companies were just starting work. It was ideal for the video to go viral. If she had calculated correctly, from the time Eliot bought the stocks of Hawthorne Enterprises and CrestCore Enterprise last night to selling them tomorrow morning, they should have increased by at least ten percent.

This way, it was easy to pocket over tens of billion dollars. Then, buying a high-end building in Pratu City would be a piece of cake.

Eliot responded, "Understood." It was only now that he finally understood Mia's meticulously crafted plan.

He pondered, 'She sent the manager of the Project Department, Alice Kane, to jail to establish her authority in front of the core members of the group. It was also a warning to those old foxes on the board meddling in the Eldoria Group's affairs.

'As for Shawn, the CEO of Universe Entertainment, he went too far. Did he get addicted to slandering my boss? The news Mia wanted Ethan to see was about Shawn getting fired, his professional ethics in tatters, becoming a public enemy.

"After all, Shawn was Ethan's cousin. Mia couldn't move against Ethan, a board shareholder, for now. But she could certainly cut off Shawn, his right-hand man.'

Soon after, she walked confidently into Universe Entertainment, leading Eliot with her low-heeled shoes clicking against the floor. Once they entered the lobby, the receptionist didn't even look up and asked indifferently. "Hello, Chapter 60

who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"

With a gentle tone, Eliot replied. "We're here to see Mr. Lister."

The receptionist paused and slowly looked up at the two standing in front of her, seeing a refined, handsome man and a cool, elegant, short-haired woman.

Her eyes brightened momentarily before she suppressed her jealousy with a slight curl of her lips. "Oh, you don't have an appointment, do you? Sorry, Mr. Lister doesn't see just anyone. If you're here for a talent audition, you should go to the talent management department manager first."

Although Mia was the CEO of the Eldoria Group, she had hardly ever come to this branch office. Hence, it was natural that the receptionist didn't recognize her.

Eliot paused for a moment before pulling out a luxurious black and gold business card and waving it in front of the receptionist. The receptionist was shocked to see the words "CEO of the Eldoria Group, Mia Reed, and her face. turned pale in an instant. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Ms. Reed. I'll notify Mr. Lister right away."

With a cold expression, Mia smirked. "That won't be necessary. Just tell me if he is in the office

The receptionist stammered, "Um... He should be in the CEO's office. She knew that Universe Entertainment was a subsidiary of the Eldoria Group, and she certainly wouldn't dare to offend Mia.

"Don't tell anyone I am here," Mia ordered before stepping into the elevator and joining a group of stylishly dressed. aspiring artists

One girl, who had just entered the entertainment industry and had a keen interest in luxury goods, stared intently at Mia's outfit. She whispered to her friend, Simone, look! That lady is wearing a one-of-a-kind dress from the top luxury brand Seraphina Couture!"
