Love Is Fair
Chapter 036 Whoâs Causing a Commotion âMs. Hill, youâre gorgeous. Have you thoughtof entering the entertainment industry?â Molly smiled elegantly at the camera. âYou sure know how to joke around. Iâm satisfied with my job at Hatchworks!â âMs. Hill, may I ask when you and Mr. Davis will get married?â
âThatâs personal. Iâm not comfortable answering that!â Faced with the scandal between her and Chris, Molly remained vague. After all, she needed Chris as her safety net. The title of Mr. Whiteâs ex-wife did grant her a lot of attention for herself and Chrisâ film company. âMr. Davis, when will you propose to Ms.
Hill?â Chris smiled and looked at Molly affectionately. He joked, âIt depends on when she is willing! I can propose to her now if she wants!â âWow, thatâs so sweet!â âDo it now! Do it now!â The entertainment reporters began to jeer. Molly smiled shyly and glared at Chris, signaling him to stop lingering on the topic. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chris gazed at her affectionately. It did not seem like he was joking at all. âYou guys should just get married already since you have kids! We want to be invited to the wedding!â Molly did not dare to meet Chrisâ gaze. She retracted her gaze. âI will not be answering topics outside of work for now. I am sure everyone here knows I have just lost my grandfather. I am mourning him and will not consider marriage in the next three years! I hope everyone wonât ask about it anymore.â Hearing this, the reporters fell silent for a moment and stopped asking. After all, they had to respect and not desecrate the dead. A trace of sorrow appeared on Chrisâ face when he heard this. He had seen and been with countless women of all sorts. The pure, the coquettish, he had enough with them and was tired of fooling around. He was very open-minded about this matter. He didnât mind being Mollyâs second husband or the fact that she had three children. But Molly had always used these as excuses to reject him. However, Chris recovered shortly and smiled. âToday is Ms. Hillâs press conference. It would be impolite of me to waste her resources.â After saying that, Chris smiled politely and walked off the stage. Meanwhile, somewhere off-camera, Ivan had been smoking until he saw Molly on TV. He was stunned. The cigarette continued to burn in his hands. It was only until the cigarette butt was left that he realized. He quickly got up and put it out on the ashtray. Mollyâs appearance was undoubtedly beautiful. But it wasnât until that day he realized her stubbornness and competitive spirit other than her good looks. However, it didnât change the fact he disdained her. He had often heard people saying that a beautiful womanâs heart was darker. Wasnât Molly a typical example? âHumph!â Seeing the intimate interaction between Molly and Chris, Ivan turned off the TV in anger. Even if they were divorced, he did not want to see her being intimate with another man. The reception was halfway through when a commotion sounded downstairs.
Two middle-aged men led a dozen others and kicked up a fuss. They were all holding banners and yelling. âHatchworksâ new chairman fired us without any reason. Our families are in trouble because of her!â âMolly Hill is a heartless capitalist who bullies people with no power!â âKick that heartless scum out of Oscosâ¦â The security guards stopped them and tried to disperse them. Unfortunately, they refused to listen as they yelled at the reporters. Some even kicked the security guards to the ground. âWhoâs causing a commotion below?â Chris frowned.
âAbout ten ex-employees of Hatchworks are dissatisfied with being laid off and are causing trouble now!â âMolly Hill, give us an explanation!â âDonât be a coward, you heartless bitch. Get out of the Oscos!â âYou inhuman, heartless capitalist!â Seeing this, the reporters couldnât help but ask, âMs. Hill, how do you explain the layoffs?â Mollyâs face sank. She looked at the camera with a calm yet grave expression. âThe layoffs were necessary and done according to the companyâs procedures. Moreover, we have compensated the people we laid off for their loss!â âWhat did they do to deserve this?â âHatchworks does not fire employees without reason.
The need for the layoffs is to inject new blood into the company. Secondly, it is to clear out freeloaders in the company. Hatchworks has evidence of bribery, corruption, and pocketing the companyâs profits for themselves. I pledge in front of the media that the police are welcomed to step in and investigate them and make up for the loss they have caused Hatchworks!â Molly spoke with conviction, answering the reportersâ questions firmly. Her thoughts were clear and meticulous, without the slightest bit of panic.
The moment her words fell, Lena felt a slap in the face. Molly was kind enough not to expose Lenaâs conduct in public while warning her. âShe⦠â¦â When Lena saw the live broadcast of the press conference, she shivered and broke out in a cold sweat.
That damned slut! She underestimated Molly. She did not want the police to intervene. With that, she quickly fished for her phone and called the two middle-aged men who were causing trouble.
The two middle-aged men were taunting at the top of their lungs, and their faces were red. Lena called.
âRetreat for now!â âWhy? Molly is coming out soon, and we prepared the poo you asked to splash on her when she leaves the building!â Lena roared over the phone, âJust leave and cut it out. The more trouble you cause, the harder it will be for you to turn around!â âOkay. Letâs go!â They didnât watch the live broadcast of the press conference, so they didnât know what had happened. They wanted to cause an even bigger scene. However, they had to stop after receiving Lenaâs call.
They did not dare to disobey Lena and could only leave with their tails between their legs. After hanging up the phone, Lena glared at the TV, her facial features distorted. âMolly, you damn bitch! Your good days will not last long! Just you waitâ¦â These people were former executives of various departments at Hatchworks. Relying on their relationship with Lena, they ran amuck in the company and took bribes. If the police found out, not only would they be sent to jail, but have to compensate Hatchworks Group for their losses. Moreover, there was another reason why Lena was afraid of a police investigation. It was because the two middle-aged men who led the riot were not her real cousins but lovers. Lena had often gone out with them with the excuse of poker, However, poker was far from what they were doing. Usually, a man and a woman would arouse suspicion if they were seen alone, but it was not the case if she went out with many men.
It was said that a womanâs sexual urges increased after the age of 30. Lena was at the age where her sex drive was superior to Eileenâs. Tyler had diabetes and heart disease, and his stamina was low due to the lack of exercise. How could he satisfy her?
