Chapter 576
Adele was Felicia’s cousin. She would benefit from Felicia’s eventual success. If they got Joe on their side, they would become an unstoppable force in Jipsburg.
In addition, Felicia’s family had also been hoping for someone to introduce Felicia to Joe.
Felicia’s eyes darted around the room. She exclaimed, What a coincidence!”
“Right. Our investigations have hit the nail on the head. Skylar had caused a commotion in Jipsburg for being the real heiress to the Williamses. Now, we know that Charles isn’t her biological brother. Instead, Samuel is.”
A plan brewed within Felicia. She remarked, “Charles? He seems pretty popular recently. You’ve not seen Skylar. She’s revolting. She got plastic surgery based on my likeness while incorporating the features of a few others. In the end, she turned out prettier than me. How sickening.”
“Perhaps she’s one of your fans. If not, why would she use you as a template? If that’s the case, Mr. Martin’s type is probably women like you. Skylar is only your replacement.”
Felicia’s eyes brightened. Was Skylar her replacement? Had Joe ignored her during their past meetings to attract her attention?
“Don’t tell my family about this for now. You have to send me to all possible future events. I want more opportunities to interact with Joe.”
Adele immediately agreed. She said, “Alright, don’t worry. We aren’t in a position where we’ll run into Joe frequently.”
“No worries. We have countless days ahead of us. I’ve been getting along well with Rowan and his friends lately. He invites me to many events. My chances of encountering Joe will increase in time.
“Right, you told me that I will be starring in my next movie with Charles. When the time comes, pay special attention to him for me. Perhaps we can use him to our advantage,” Felicia advised.
“Alright.”
Natalie brought two smoothies over. On the coffee table, there was also a plate of fried chicken and a pizza, along with a fruit platter.
“These are the takeouts that I’ve just ordered. Did you say that someone rear–ended your car just now? What happened?” Natalie scanned Skylar from head to toe to check whether Skylar had gotten hurt.
Skylar described what had happened.
Natalie was stunned. She ranted, “Isn’t she a little too shameless? At first, she wouldn’t admit to her mistakes. Back then, she definitely thought that you were weak and easily controlled.
“Yet, upon seeing Joe, her attitude underwent a complete change. If Joe hadn’t shown up today, who knows what scandals she’d whip up about you?”
After becoming Austin’s assistant, Natalie had heard many stories about the entertainment industry from Hank and witnessed some of them firsthand.
She knew that some people would do anything to make themselves go viral. They would even resort to unethical methods to do so. Natalie looked down on them.
They made Austin seem like a rare gem in the entertainment industry.

“This is the world we live in. Thankfully, it yielded acceptable results.”

In a swift change of topic, Natalie said, “I’ll be leaving Jipsburg for around two weeks to accompany Mr. Powell to a movie set in a neighboring city. I invited you here today to talk about my relationship with Jeremy. You’re the only person I can discuss this with.
Natalie gnawed into her fried chicken. At this point, only her favorite food could provide her some semblance of emotional security.
Skylar nodded. She thought of how Jeremy had gotten seduced under the influence of black magic. She wondered if she should tell Natalie about it.
