Cassie was adopted when she was still young. Because Ford's Aunt, Madam Lewis could not have a children of her own, she treated Cassie as a treasures and offered her the best food and clothing. There were no differences from her and the other ladies of rich families.
Therefore, she was unruly and tyrannical.
When she was young, Julia was a laughingstock in the rich family circle. Her behavior was rude and vulgar, and she did not have the self—restraint and dignity that a rich family member should have.
Afterwards, she went to the entertainment industry, but up until now, there were no works worth mentioning. She was using some scandals to show off. So, Cassie had never treated her like a friend, much less respect her.
Now that Julia had said this, she was obviously taunting her. She immediately gritted her teeth in anger.
"What I said is all based on the popular comments on Twitter. Naturally, it can't be compared to your practice." She glared at her fiercely and sneered, "If I were you, I wouldn't have the guts to appear in public."
" And why? I didn't do anything at all." Julia felt that she was funny. They didn't know each other very well, so why she was so hostile towards her?
The elevator opened and Julia ignored her and went to the office first.
Cassie refused to let her go, and she hurriedly walked forward, blocking her way.
"Move aside." Julia's tone was cold, causing Cassie to be stunned.
"What if I refuse?" Cassie was furious, and she even stretched out her arms to block her, "I can call the security guards to drive you out now, understand?"
Julia really hated dealing with these one—track minded people. It was as if there was only one thing in their minds.
As long as a woman came out, they would thought she wanted to take away their men.
Cassie could be referred as Ford's younger sister, although they had no bloodline.
Julia didn't expect that Ford would have a love affair with his own cousin. It was indeed a treatment that only the male lead could enjoy.
After a long stalemate, Julia stretched out her hands and pressed down on Cassie's arms. "Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I'm done with my business. I won't even come again."
She felt that it was already very difficult for her to live a free life. So, she would not interfere with their complicated love affair.
Cassie's strength can't compare with Julia. And her face darkened. When Jeffrey came out, Cassie aggressively said, "Jeffrey, is Brother Ford here?"
Jeffrey looked at Julia behind her, and then looked at Cassie. What a coincidence.
Seeing that Jeffrey didn't answer, Cassie was unruly and pushed Jeffrey aside and said, "I have something urgent to look for Brother Ford."
"I'm sorry, Miss Cassie. President has already made an appointment." Jeffrey did his duty to stop Cassie, and then she watched Julia enter happily in front of her.
In an instant, Cassie felt as if she had exploded. She pointed at Julia and roared, "Why can she enter?"
"Mrs. Ainsworth..."Jeffrey realized that he made a mistake and immediately corrected, "Miss Green is the one who made the appointment with President."
Unexpectedly, Cassie's ears were sharp, so she immediately asked, "Mrs. Ainsworth? What did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything." Jeffrey looked at the ceiling and shut his mouth.
He didn't expect Cassie to be unaware about the marriage of his boss. Perhaps boss aunt, Madam Lewis knew something and deliberately didn't tell her.
Jeffrey stood there like a door god. Cassie could not squeeze in, so she had to leave first.
However, she was reluctant to leave, and the high heels on her feet seemed to be able to cut a hole on the floor tile.
The office was brightly lit. The man's face was handsome but cold. His complexion was coldly white from the indoor light. He wore a black silk shirt with an expression of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Although it hadn't been long, Julia felt a little flustered for no reason as they met the first time after their divorce.
She blinked her eyes, didn't dare to look straight over, and slightly tilted her head.
The man lifted his eyelids and slowly pulled off his tie with his fingers. "What's the matter?" He asked.
Julia cleared her throat, "What do you mean?"
Ford remained silent, as if he was waiting for her next sentence.
"We're divorced. I don't need you to do this for me. You should withdraw that statement." Julia said firmly, "I won't act in that play."
"Why?" Ford calmly looked at her.
"...."
There was no need to ask why. Of course, she was not worthy!
Why could she act with Steve, a top actor? She was nothing but a little—known bit player.
She would probably be drowned in the saliva of his fans before she even started shooting.
"I don't need to get in by the back door. With my current qualifications, I'm not worthy of starring as the female head. I also don't want to be a drag on Steve."
Julia had the best impression on Steve in the entertainment industry. Although they had never had any dealings, his good reputation had already spread out for a long time.
Steve suddenly became famous in 2016 with unknown background. However, the netizens' interest in his acting and beauty outweighed the discussion about his identity and background. As soon as he appeared, the focus of everyone's attention would first be on his face. Afterwards, they would be stunned by his excellent acting. It was simply perfect. People couldn't help but suspect that this person was acting in his own true story.
Julia had a good understanding of her abilities. Although she was working very hard now, she was still a long way from starring in a play with Steve.
Ford scanned her with his eyes, his expression still cold.
Steve?
A person she had never met before was even more important than him in her heart.
He asked calmly, "Have you seen the statement clearly?"
"Yes, but you really don't need to do this to compensate me."
The man's gaze was like a mirror, able to penetrate the lies in one's heart. Julia tried her best to be calm and added, "I'm fine now, and I don't like you anymore, so there's really no need for you to do that, including that compensation."
Although these five hundred million were nothing to the Ainsworths, she felt that she was not worthy of receiving so much compensation.
It was she who liked him and pestered him in the past. She was in wishful thinking. Moreover, she was still a complete nobody. So, she couldn't accept his 500 million compensation.
Ford raised his eyebrows slightly. What she said meant that she had to draw a clear line with him.
He leaned back and chuckled softly. "It seems like you're still the same as before."
Julia was puzzled and did not understand what he meant.
Ford raised his hand and beckoned to her, saying in a low voice, "Come here."
Julia's face was full of vigilance. It was good and safe to keep a distance from him.
Seeing that she was still standing there without moving, Ford got up and walked closer step by step. It wasn't a long distance, and he only took a few steps to approach her.
He was tall and had long legs, and his innate aggressiveness makes people nervous.
Julia wanted to retreat, but Ford held her chin first, and with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his lips, he asked in a low voice, "Why are you hiding from me?"
