Chapter 159: Chapter 159
The fact that his own daughter is dragging him down is truly distressing to think about.
"Dad, why are you begging her? What’s so great about her?!"
President Wright glared at her, "Didn’t you hear me telling you to shut up?"
President Wright was anxious, "President Sterling, my daughter really doesn’t know any better. I am very sincere about wanting to collaborate with Penson..."
Paige Sterling smiled, "There’s no need to tell me how mischievous President Wright’s daughter is, I’m not interested in teaching your daughter either, as for the collaboration..."
She paused, "Let’s talk about it again if there’s a chance in the future."
President Wright looked anxious, but Paige Sterling had already walked away.
The banquet ended shortly, and Paige Sterling and Julian Hawthorne left the hotel together.
A breeze had picked up in the evening; Paige Sterling was the most conservatively dressed among all the women but felt a bit chilly.
Julian Hawthorne took off his coat and gave it to her, saying gently, "Wait here for me for a bit, I’ll go get the car."
Paige Sterling acknowledged with a sound and stood at the hotel entrance.
Sonny Chambers ran over and grabbed her hand, snorting.
Afraid that Paige Sterling might shake him off, he held her tightly.
"You adults are really annoying!"
Paige Sterling glanced at him, "You kids are annoying too."
Sonny Chambers looked up, puffed-up, "I’m really angry today, you know? Haven’t you thought about cheering me up?"
Paige Sterling gave him a mild look, too lazy to accommodate such a child.
Just as she was about to move forward, Sonny Chambers suddenly grabbed her.
Paige Sterling, "...?"
Sonny Chambers, "Didn’t you see the dog poop on the ground, are you looking to step in it?"
Paige Sterling looked down and indeed there was a pile of dog poop on the ground.
The entrance of a five-star hotel actually had dog poop?
Paige Sterling was also taken aback, as Sonny Chambers smugly said, "See, if it weren’t for me reminding you, you wouldn’t have known. Aren’t you going to thank me?"
Paige Sterling, "..."
At this moment, Mona Wright also emerged from the hotel.
She had been lectured by her father and was feeling quite aggrieved.
Moreover, her dad had even instructed her to curry favor with Paige Sterling, but how could she manage that?
Instead, because of her dad’s words, she disliked Paige Sterling even more, feeling that Paige was abusing her power.
Upon seeing Paige Sterling at the entrance, Mona Wright aimed to express her disdain towards Paige as she always did, huffing coldly at Paige and holding her head high to walk past her.
Paige Sterling called her, "Miss Wright."
Mona Wright arrogantly ignored it, continuing to walk forward with her head held high.
Suddenly, she tripped.
The fall was rather spectacular; the noise attracted everyone’s attention.
Sonny Chambers covered his eyes, unwilling to witness the embarrassing scene.
Meanwhile, Mona Wright, who had fallen to the ground, was in pain and didn’t react for a moment.
When she came back to her senses, she realized something sticky was on her face.
She dipped her fingers in it, looked and smelled it.
Then her face instantly twisted!
She now had dog poop all over her face!
Not just her face, her clothes too were dirtied with dog poop.
Comments and laughter from the people around resounded intermittently.
Mona Wright looked around, embarrassed and humiliated, sitting there dumbfounded without reacting.
Paige Sterling sighed nearby, "I was about to warn you to watch your step just now."
Summer Xavier ran over, circled Mona Wright as if observing something.
"Sure enough, what’s meant to be eaten will always be eaten; can’t escape it."
Mona Wright suddenly pointed at Summer Xavier and Paige Sterling, "Summer Xavier, it was you, you and Paige Sterling deliberately put dog poop here to humiliate me!"
She said this then rushed towards Summer Xavier.
Summer Xavier was startled; she definitely didn’t want to touch someone covered in dog poop and quickly dodged.
"Hey Mona Wright! Don’t come near me, the smell is unbearable!"
What kind of dog’s poop is this, it’s so smelly!
Angus Langdon stood by the hotel’s entrance with a face stiffened, pretending ignorance.
He’d never admit his dog was responsible for this mess.
"Summer Xavier, stop!," Mona Wright chased after Summer Xavier angrily.
Summer Xavier made her suffer such humiliation; she couldn’t let Summer off easily!
So Mona Wright chased after Summer Xavier.
If it were under normal circumstances, Summer Xavier would confront her directly, unafraid of tearing into her.
But the problem now was that Mona had dog poop all over her, if it got on her, it would be disgusting.
So Summer Xavier could only run.
And Mona Wright chased behind.
Just then, Jared Sullivan was seeing off Mr. Xavier and President Wright and other guests; President Wright had just been explaining to Jared Sullivan that there had been a small misunderstanding between his daughter and Paige Sterling when he turned around to see his daughter chasing someone with dog poop all over her face, which was utterly humiliating.
"Mona! What are you doing?"
Mona Wright clung to her father’s arm, complaining, "Dad, Summer Xavier and Paige Sterling deliberately messed me up, covered me in dog poop!"
By leaning against President Wright, she also smeared dog poop on him, making his expression even more displeased.
"Dad, they bullied me , you have to stand up for me!"
Summer Xavier stood behind Mr. Xavier, saying, "She’s talking nonsense, clearly she tripped herself, got a mouthful of dog poop, everyone saw it, yet she insists it was Paige and me. I think her brain is completely muddled with dog poop! Who would have the mind to deliberately place dog poop to mess with her, it’s revolting!"
"Summer, what are you saying?"
Mr. Xavier feigned chastising his daughter, telling President Wright, "My little girl is mischievous, excuse us from laughing, President Wright."
President Wright could only force a smile; the Wright family couldn’t compare to the Xavier Family, let alone the Sterling Family.
He must curry favor with both Jared Sullivan and Mr. Xavier, yet his daughter went off to clash with the daughters of the Sterling Family and Xavier Family, how could she be so foolish?
Besides, Mr. Xavier had declared his daughter mischievous, was he supposed to praise his daughter? Naturally, he could only put the blame on his own daughter too.
"It’s my failure in teaching my daughter, humor President Sterling and President Xavier too much."
Mona Wright’s eyes widened, staring at President Wright in shock.
"Dad! Am I even your daughter? I’ve been bullied , and you actually..."
"You shut up, how could Miss Sterling and Miss Xavier be such people, aren’t you aware of your mistake yet?"
Mona Wright, both furious and resentful, under President Wright’s stern gaze, didn’t dare say more.
Jared Sullivan then spoke, "Since Miss Wright insists on thinking this way, I think this matter needs thorough investigation."
President Wright saw Jared Sullivan serious about it, hurriedly said, "President Sterling, this is merely girls fooling around, no need to take it seriously."
"Even if it’s fooling around, if word gets out, people might truly believe my daughter doesn’t know where to draw the line and fusses with everyone alike."
Mr. Xavier also said, "Indeed, it’s better to clarify; if it’s truly my daughter’s fault, she should rightfully apologize."
The implication being, if not, President Wright wouldn’t easily get away with it.
President Wright froze, not considering Mr. Xavier but just Jared Sullivan’s words made him ashamed.
Jared Sullivan’s words clearly implied Mona Wright and Paige Sterling weren’t on the same level, Paige would never bother dealing with Mona Wright.
Unpleasant as it was, President Wright had to admit it was all true.
Paige Sterling is now the chairman of Penson, comparable to chairmen of several major companies, having ranked among the year’s most influential figures.
To uncover the truth, simply ask those present and they’d know, or at worst, check the surveillance.
Those who saw the incident at the entrance all confirmed the poop was already there when Paige Sterling appeared, and she did warn Mona Wright. It was Mona Wright who didn’t listen, walking with head raised before stepping in and falling.
This really couldn’t be blamed on Paige Sterling and Summer Xavier, could it?
But Mona Wright claimed the witnesses were in cahoots with Paige, offending yet another group of people. For more chapters visıt 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
President Wright couldn’t hold back his daughter’s foolish wing-spreading on the path of stupidity.
