Chapter 116

“No!” Ingrid refused, agitated. She pinched her forehead wearily. “Ms. Davis, let me think about it alone.”
Linda gripped her phone tightly and nodded. “Okay, I’ll be at the door.”
She walked out of the dressing room and glanced at Ingrid, who hadn’t finished getting her makeup done. Hesitant, she walked over to the side and called Ned. “Hello, Mr. Fletcher
Linda told Ned about the issue with the endorsement. She took full responsibility for the mistake.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Fletcher. I didn’t know that the person who saved him was your ex-wife. I really thought that Mr. Norwalk was looking for Ingrid. After all, they only knew your name, and they mentioned the uniform of Oceanford College! I thought that Ingrid had saved him, so I accepted on her behalf. I didn’t tell Ingrid the details as she has been busy with the shooting schedule, and you were in the hospital. But today, the interview with Norwalk Corporation’s CEO started trending, and Ingrid just found out why they wanted her as the ambassador!
“If Ingrid clarifies right now, then the affairs between you, her, and your ex-wife will definitely be dug out as well. Ingrid’s popularity has soared because of her endorsement deal with Norwalk Corporation. She’ll be ridiculed as the third party in your relationship if everything gets exposed! Ingrid still wasn’t very famous two years ago, so it was easy to suppress the news back then. But this time… if she steps out to clarify and the incident gets exposed again, her future will be ruined! I’m only calling you because I have no other choice.”
Ned fell into silence on the other end of the phone.
He had no idea that Angeline had saved Simon seven years ago in Ica.
“What do you want me to do?” Ned asked.
“I was wondering if you could contact your ex-wife. After all, she isn’t from this industry, and she doesn’t need this endorsement opportunity. We’ll give her all the money we get from the endorsement if she agrees to keep quiet. Is that okay?” Linda asked tentatively.
Linda really didn’t want to give up this opportunity. It wasn’t about the money. As long as Ingrid could be the ambassador for Norwalk Corporation, then her popularity would soar. She would have plenty of opportunities to earn money in the future.
On the other end of the line, Ned thought about the look Angeline had given him in the hotel that day and closed his eyes.
“I’ll try,” he said.
“Thank you, Mr. Fletcher!” Linda thanked him profusely. “I’ll leave it to you. On my side, I’ll try to persuade her not to clarify so quickly! If things can be resolved, I can pay an additional fee to your ex-wife as compensation. Thank you!”
After hanging up the phone, Linda breathed a sigh of relief.
If she remembered correctly, Ned’s ex-wife listened to everything he said and was very obedient. She had been sticking around Ned for over two years and catered to his every whim. If Ned took action, he would surely succeed.
“Draft a non-disclosure agreement,” Linda said to Ingrid’s assistant.
As long as Ned succeeded, she would send the non-disclosure agreement over at once.
She would only feel assured once Angeline signed the non-disclosure agreement.
After Linda made all the arrangements, she knocked on the door of the dressing room and entered. She told Ingrid about what had happened.
Ingrid’s eyes widened. “Ms. Davis, why did you go to Ned behind my back?”
Linda was infuriated by Ingrid’s questioning tone. “Mr. Fletcher is your boyfriend. When you’re in trouble, who else should I go to? Besides, this is his ex-wife!”
