Chapter 140

Chapter 140:
Indifferently, Candice replied, “Madilyn, move out of the way.”
“It’s clear you’re too full of yourself to be a lawyer. Oh, by the way, have you heard? Rey bought me a ballet troupe, and the day after tomorrow, I’ll be introduced as the new director.”
One of the women beside her added, “Congratulations! Maddy, don’t forget us when you officially take charge of the ballet troupe.”
“Well, Rey keeps telling me I’m too thin and not strong or energetic enough to dance.” Madilyn stroked her face with a fake shy smile.
That morning, Candice heard from Bettina that Greyson planned to purchase 15% of the troupe’s shares. She was surprised to learn it had already been done so early in the day. How quickly Greyson acted!
She had expected he would let Madilyn be just a featured ballerina, but she was wrong. His goal was to have Madilyn lead the ballet troupe.
Candice sneered inwardly. What a caring person he was to Madilyn! After all, the point of dancing was to…
Amuse people, whereas becoming a manager would guarantee success with little effort required.
In any case, Candice was surprised that Greyson would do something like this for Madilyn’s sake. With his tenderheartedness and concern, he shelled out a substantial sum of money.
Madilyn was delighted to see Candice remain silent. She went on, “What? Well, you weren’t expecting that?”
As Madilyn spoke, she reached into her purse and pulled out an invitation, then said, “My promotion to director will be announced during a press conference the day after tomorrow. It is mandatory that you show up.”
After saying that, she put the invitation into Candice’s hand and moved closer to her.
“I shall inform Rey of your certain attendance.” Madilyn laughed so hard after saying that that her face practically contorted. She was excited to take on the role of director since she believed she’d do better than Candice.
Very emotionless, Candice answered, “Well, congratulations! I’ve heard that operating a ballet troupe often results in financial losses. So don’t forget to keep everything running smoothly. Every year, the financial statements will be released. Don’t make a fool of yourself. Don’t subject investors to excessive losses.”

“How dare you!” Madilyn shook with rage.
After passing Madilyn, Candice said, “If you see me from now on, just ignore me. You will not succeed in criticizing or destroying me. Why do you keep bringing shame upon yourself?”
Candice walked away without looking back once.
Madilyn’s indignation caused her to stomp her feet and yell, “Hey, you stupid whore! What a pathetic piece of trash you’ve become after being dumped! What’s with all that conceit?”
Holding Madilyn’s arm, one of her companions murmured, “Forget it. We decided to have dinner together. Let’s enjoy ourselves!”
The last time they fought at the exhibition facility, they didn’t really win. There was no desire for defeat today.
