Chapter 128

,Coolest Girl in Town

The next day at 10.00AM, Lily was waiting in the office of the Griffith Group’s president office
punctually. Upon seeing Alexander, she greeted him politely, “Hello, President Griffith.” Alexander
plopped into the real leather couch and crossed his legs before saying casually, “Hi, Miss Lily. Actually,
I asked you over today because I acquired a piece of blood jade recently, and I have a few ideas which
I would like to share with you.”



Of course Lily knew how important this was, and she said, “Please tell me what you would like me to
do, President Griffith.” Alexander leaned in, and they both slipped into a deep discussion. About an
hour later, she left his office and returned to the design department. The other designers gathered
around her and asked, “Miss Lily, did President Griffith look for you because of a new project?” “Yeah,
share it with us quickly.”’

Giving them a soft smile, she answered, “There’s no new project. Let’s finish the work at hand and
don’t gather around me.” Although nobody was convinced by her words, they had no one else to ask if
she didn’t want to reveal anything to them. So, they returned to their work spaces. After everyone had
left her alone, Lily opened the file in her hands and stared at the picture of the blood jade on the first
page with wavering eyes.

Did President Griffith fall for someone? With this blood jade as the raw material, he had asked her to
design a complete jewelry set with a lover’s theme. She didn’t dare to let her thoughts run wild and
therefore made up her mind that she would finish this design with all her heart. …… … Early in the
morning, Elise arrived at school, and a person came running toward her. Giving her a bear hug,
Samantha said, “I missed you so much, Elise!” Looking at Samantha, whom she hadn’t seen in a long
while, Elise noticed that she had gotten tanned. “How’s it like, living on the set?



You’re so tanned now.” With a cheerful look, Samantha held her arm. “I’ve been very happy this month,
and I realized how meaningful it is to do something which I enjoy.” “Congratulations on finding your
path in life,” Elise said happily. With a chuckle, Samantha replied, “This is my first piece of work, and
the director said that I’m very talented. Really, I’ve already made up my mind to be an actress, and the
director has also introduced me to another movie so that I can attend the audition tomorrow.

That’s why I took this chance to visit you and Riley at school today.” She lifted her head and looked into
the classroom but didn’t see any sign of Riley. “Where’s Riley? Why isn’t she here yet?” “Maybe she’ll
arrive later,” Elise said. “Okay,” she uttered and dragged Elise into a seat while they continued chatting.
A few minutes later, Danny arrived and wanted Elise to explain another question to him, which made
Samantha very unhappy.



Danny, what are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m chatting with Elise?” Without lifting his gaze at her,
he said, “I’m just borrowing her for a while; I’ll return her in a bit.” Although annoyed, Samantha decided
to let it go, and when Elise returned after solving the problem, she grabbed her arm, asking, “Elise, it
hasn’t been that long since I last saw Danny, but why has he changed so much? Wasn’t he always
slacking in his studies? What came over him today?”

Elise giggled. “It’s true that he’s a changed person. He even told me confidently that he’ll make it to the
top five for the coming monthly test!” “He must have lost his mind!” Samantha gasped. Right after the
words left her lips, Danny was already standing behind her without her realizing. “Hey, it’s not nice to
speak about others behind their backs.” Although she was called out, she wasn’t embarrassed at all
and said casually, “I didn’t say anything wrong.





In the past, you were a loser and didn’t have the least motivation to improve yourself, but all of a
sudden, you say that you would like to make it to the top five in class. What are you, if not crazy?”
While Danny decided to ignore her, she continued, “It’s impossible for you to make it to the top five in
class.” Expressionless, Danny turned to her, but all that came up in his mind were the scenes from
before, when he was squabbling with Elise.

Only then did it hit him how annoying he was back then. “Samantha, don’t think that you can make it
big in the entertainment industry just because you have a pretty face. There’s no lack of pretty girls in
that industry, and there’s nothing special about your face at all. Even if you can find jobs as an actress,
you’ll be a D-list actress at most,” he said without holding back, whereupon Samantha’s face fell. “What
nonsense are you speaking about, Danny Griffith?

Who are you calling a D-list actress? I’ll definitely make it to the A-list to show you what I’m capable of!
Just hold your jaw tight so that it doesn’t fall when it happens!” Unbothered by her, Danny turned and
left, leaving Samantha stomping her feet in anger. I must become an A-list actress and get so many
awards that I’ll bury this annoying Danny with it! she vowed silently. Nevertheless, both of them didn’t
expect that this joke and jape would bind their destinies tightly together.

But of course, this was a story for later. Seeing how mad Samantha was, Elise quickly comforted, “Just
do your best. I still think very highly of you.” Elise’s words diminished Samantha’s anger greatly, and
she said, “Elise, keep your eyes peeled. I won’t allow myself to become a D-list actress.” Elise agreed.

“Yes, so don’t be mad anymore, superstar.” After Samantha calmed herself down, something else
popped into her mind suddenly. “By the way, Elise, I almost forgot to share a piece of gossip with you:
Jack is in trouble now…” Hearing that Jack was in trouble, Elise felt her heart drop as she asked, “What
happened to him?”



Then, Samantha told her everything she knew in detail. “I heard it’s because there’s a problem with his
new song. Previously, he was really popular in the industry and received a lot of compliments when his
new song was published online. It was even pushed to the top of the chart once, but someone found
out that this new song of his had the same music style with another singer, H, who was very popular
before this. Immediately after that, H’s fans accused him of plagiarizing, and the issue just blew up.

There’s been no response from his management company, and the hashtag #CancelJackGriffith has
more than three hundred million tweets online already.” Her words sent Elise into a deep thought, and
she could no longer listen to Samantha anymore. At the same time, in Jack’s management company,
Ronald was pacing around anxiously. “Jack, what’s up with your new song this time?”

Jack decided to keep his mum and didn’t say a thing. The original draft of this new song was
discovered under the computer on his desk, and he was startled when he saw this song. The first half
of the song was composed by himself, and someone had made big changes to the second half, which
greatly enhanced the originally boring song.

When he showed this song to professional composers, they all said that the song was really high in
quality, and that was why he decided to release this single. Who would have thought that this
plagiarizing incident would blow up from it. “Ronald, I didn’t write this song.”
