Chapter 10 Betting
“Yes. Dad, look, this is the ranking of our major’s exams every semester every year. Seven Murphy is me.” She then began finding some of the rankings in her phone, one by one, and showing them to Allen.
On every piece of paper, her name was in the first place!
Allen was pleasantly surprised, in the past, although Jocelyn was a good student in high school, she definitely did not have the potential to go to such a university.
But after leaving home, she had not only gone to this university, but had also become a top student.
“My daughter, you’re good!” Allen praised, his smile no longer able to be hidden.
Now his eyes were full of the excellent grades Jocelyn had achieved, all but leaving behind Gloria’s so-called top 50 grades in the department.
This feeling of being ignored and overshadowed by Jocelyn’s light made Gloria incomparably unhappy.
Flento City University was considered a prestigious university in the country, but it was nothing compared to graduating from Vista University.
She gritted her teeth, “What’s the big deal getting into Vista University?”
As soon as Gloria’s words left her mouth, Sara stepped on her foot under the table fiercely, signaling her with her eyes to shut up.
“Do you know anything else but fighting with your sister? Not a big deal? Then go and try to get enrolled?!” Allen chided in a cold voice.
Jocelyn listened while eating in silence, not interrupting at all, as if she was an onlooker in this world.
Allen disliked Gloria’s personality, and ever since the things she did to Jocelyn, he disliked this little daughter even more.
“Right, Jocelyn, that new property being built in our city centre, the Faraday Apartments, is planning to find a spokesperson, do you have any suitable recommendations from your side?” Allen asked.
At that, Gloria said, “Of course it’s Ryan, if he endorses it, then our property will definitely sell well.”
“You are talking about unrealistic things, who do you think Ryan is?” Allen said.
“As long as the money is there, he will naturally be willing to endorse, Ryan’s current endorsement fee is 20 million, right? Let’s give him 30 million, I don’t believe he won’t come.”
Gloria had admired Ryan for a long time.
Although she often went to see Ryan’s concerts with her friends and attended his fan meetings.
But she never got the chance to talk to him.
If she could hire him as a spokesperson for her family’s new property, then she would have a chance.
Then, she could brag in front of a bunch of her friends!
“You’re generous to offer 30 million.” Jocelyn said indifferently, and then gracefully put down the orange juice in her hand.
“It’s a bit expensive, but do you know how strong Ryan’s fan appeal is? And if I go and talk to their company personally, I believe their company will agree.”
Gloria was full of confidence.
“Why?” Jocelyn was speechless at her bewildering confidence.
“Just because I have money.” Gloria said.
“Do you want Ryan, Dad?” Jocelyn asked.
“Yes, thirty million is possible, but he’s hard to hire.” Allen said.
“I’ll help you hire this man for ten million.” Jocelyn said.
Gloria instantly rolled her eyes in disdain, “10 million to hire Ryan, who do you think you are?”
“What makes you so categorical that you can hire Ryan for such a low price? Do you think you are his boss? He will do whatever you want him to do?”
Jocelyn couldn’t help but sneer, thinking, “I am his boss.”
“What are you laughing at?” Gloria had a disgruntled look on his face.
“Nothing.” Jocelyn said.
“Let’s make a bet, you take 10 million to hire him, I’ll take 30 million. Whoever can’t hire loses, at that time the loser has to meet one demand of the winner, whatever it is.”
Gloria was now certain that it was absolutely impossible for Jocelyn to invite Ryan, 30 million was possible, 10 million was simply a dream.
When the time came, she must take advantage of this opportunity to fix Jocelyn!
She would make Jocelyn kneel down in front of her and confess her sins!
“Gloria, don’t go too far.” Allen said coldly.
“Dad, this is just a bet between sisters, how is it too much? Besides, it’s not certain who the loser will be.” Gloria added.
“Nonsense.” Allen’s face immediately darkened.
“Fine, I’ll accept your bet, but you have to be willing to accept it when you lose.” Jocelyn responded briskly.
“Okay, what if you don’t accept it when you lose?”
“How about giving up the right to inherit all the assets of the Murphy family forever?” Jocelyn said.
“OK.,” Gloria snapped her fingers with alacrity, Ryan was a sure thing for her this time.
She took the 30 million and was equal to the strongest king stage.
As for Jocelyn, she was a bronze at best, how could she possibly beat herself?Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Dad, it’s decided like that, right?” Jocelyn said as she looked at Allen tenderly.
Allen gave Jocelyn a deep look before shaking his head helplessly, “Fine, whatever you guys want.”
And then he elegantly picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, got up and left the restaurant.
“Jocelyn, just wait for me to abuse you. I’ll ask you to learn how to bark live on the internet and give up your inheritance rights to dad’s company! Just be prepared.” Gloria had the smug of a victor.
Since her father had said that she only fought with her sister, she had to show him something.
She had been very unhappy with Jocelyn lately, so this time she was going to overpower her and make a big fool of her.
Jocelyn did not glance at her, but walked away.
…
At 8pm, Jocelyn walked into Room Rainy Wind at the Dreamland Hotel on time.
The light orange twist jumper with white floral long skirt and light orange high heeled boots set her off in an extraordinarily gentle way.
When she entered, Ryan, Paige and the senior management of X Entertainment were all there, and they all just happened to have a table together.
Among these people, Ryan and Paige were the most dazzling.
Ryan was wearing a simple white sweatshirt and a black hat, his face was plain, but the smile on his face was clean and immaculate.
Even if he did nothing but sit there quietly, the stars would fade because of him.
Next to him, Paige was wearing a peachy pink suit with a white shirt and light make-up.
Her black hair was well-groomed, just like those high-profile cold beauties in the workplace on TV, her beauty has an edge to it that people dare not touch easily.
The two of them have different temperaments, yet they sit together in an inexplicable harmony.
They were chatting happily at the moment, and it was very lively.
When they saw Jocelyn enter, they all quieted down and then stood up, taking the initiative to greet her, shouting, “Hello, Miss Murphy.”
Jocelyn gently nodded and smiled at them, before sitting straight down on the other empty seat beside Ryan.
“What are you all talking about?” Jocelyn asked.
“Nothing, just chatting about the company’s next trainee recruitment.” Paige said.
As she spoke, Paige’s phone rang and it prompted her with an additional email in her inbox.
Paige clicked in.
The email was from Gloria, saying that she wanted to invite Ryan to endorse the new property of The Murphy’s Faraday Apartments, with an endorsement fee of thirty million.
Paige was amused, directly handing her phone to Jocelyn to see, “Miss Murphy, what is this woman up to?”
