A devious expression took over Vivian's face.

“When Maria publishes her novel, I‘1l secretly get some experts to compare her novel with others on the Internet. There's no way that that country girl can write a novel by herself! She's definitely going to plagiarize it from someone else."

In Sheffield International Airport, a woman walked quickly through the private plane access point. Bother her sharp eyes and jewelry were striking.

Jacqueline, elegantly dressed and wearing stunning makeup, stood some distance away. She had been waiting there for a long time.

“Mom! "*

Jacqueline approached the woman, smiling warmly.

The woman quickened her pace when she noticed Jacqueline. Once she was standing in front of her daughter, she raised her hand, and slapped her right across the face.

Whack!

The sound of the impact echoed throughout the terminal. Although no one was around, Jacqueline still felt ashamed.

"Mom? Why..."

Jacqueline was about to question why her mom had just struck her.

But deep down she knew that she had messed up, and as the domestic representative of the Bowles Group, her actions reflected badly on them.

Her mother, Lara, had to rush over here to clean up the mess Jacqueline had made.

“Why shouldn't I slap you?"

Lara said sternly, glaring at Jacqueline with a cold expression.

"I suppose I deserve it..." Jacqueline Lowered her head, feeling a combination of shame and fear.

“It wasn't easy to persuade those people to Let you handle the domestic business. You only have two jobs to do. One is saving the engagement with the Wilson family, and the other is making the Bowles Group more famous at home. And yet you haven't achieved either of these things?"

Jacqueline's face turned pale. She shook her head and Looked at Lara helplessly.

Jacqueline had always admired Lara, considering her to be a great role model.

Lara herself was a legendary fierce woman.

Nixon Bowles was actually Lara's second husband.

Lara even had a daughter with her ex-husband before they divorced.

It seemed impossible that someone in her position, with not only an ex-husband, but also a daughter, could marry a man from such a rich and decent family.

But against all the odds, she did it. Nixon risked almost falling out with his whole family just so he could marry Lara.
