Star Actress 182

Chapter 182 

“Alright, let’s wrap it up for today!” 

Daniel’s phone buzzed right in the middle of the meeting. 

The executives across the table were stunned. 

And when they saw Daniel smile after checking his phone, they were even more thrown off. 

They almost thought Daniel had been possessed or something. 

Without hesitation, he abruptly ended the meeting. 

The executives couldn’t help but start chatting in their group message. 

[What’s up with Daniel? Bet that message is from a girl. No wonder he’s been clocking out right on time lately!] 

[What if he’s negotiating a big project? You guys always jump to conclusions. Someone like Daniel, how could a woman possibly move him?] 

[If not a woman, maybe a man!] 

[With Daniel’s looks, money, and physique, even a man wouldn’t be out of the question!] 

[Hold up, I’ve got some reliable insider info. It’s probably Daniel’s future wife. I heard he’s already brought her home!] 

The Smith family is all about tradition. If he’s brought her home, she’s definitely the one. 

The executives were now curious about who could possibly have the charm to win over a man like Daniel. 

Unaware that he was the topic of conversation, Daniel saved the money transfer receipt and took a screenshot. 

Then he replied to the message: [Thanks!] 

Turning to Emily, he transferred ten million dollars to her. 

Emily’s hand shook as she saw the amount on her phone. 

Wow, he’s really loaded, just throwing money around like it’s nothing. 

Seeing she hadn’t accepted the transfer, Daniel frowned slightly. 

His tone even carried a hint of grievance: [Didn’t you say we’d share our good fortune? Don’t you want to?] 

Emily: [Yes, but I didn’t ask you to share with me. You know this was just a windfall for me!] 

Daniel: [Exactly, and I want to share some of it with you. Please give me this chance!]

Emily couldn’t help but laugh at his words. 

She hadn’t expected Daniel to be so eloquent. 

If she didn’t accept now, she’d really seem pretentious. 

She figured she could always share more with him later. 

Daniel’s expression immediately relaxed, his smile deepening. 

He posted the screenshot of the transaction on his social media. 

Along with a caption: [She’s the first to say we should share our good fortune, and the first to send me money.] 

This was Daniel’s first social media post. 

As soon as he posted it, it sparked intense discussion. 

Many speculated that the “she” Daniel mentioned was his new girlfriend. 

The biggest reactions came from those who had interacted with Emily. 

Like Charles: [Daniel, what about me? We have so many first memories together!] 

Charles‘ comment was deleted almost instantly. 

But the post was so eye–catching that someone had seen Charles‘ comment, although it was deleted quickly enough. 

The circle began mocking Charles in their group chat. 

[Haha, Charles, you really dared to say that. Aren’t you afraid Daniel will come after you? First memories, huh? Does Daniel need any firsts with you?] 

[He’s an idiot, nothing to do with the Green family, just a genetic anomaly!] 

Of course, Zoey and Veda weren’t left out of the loop. 

Veda knew the “she” Daniel mentioned was Emily. She was at the airport, waiting for her flight, flanked by two bodyguards who had once accompanied her to confront Emily. Now, they were there to ensure she boarded her flight out of the country. 

Veda, unable to hold back her anger, commented: [Daniel, you’ve been deceived. She’s using someone else’s money to trick you! This woman is disgusting. Don’t let her fool you!] 

Veda then sent a recording to Daniel privately. 

After sending it, she messaged: [Daniel, this is Emily’s true nature. You have no idea how vile she was. Don’t be fooled! She’s giving you money that she swindled from us!] 

But the message didn’t go through. Daniel had blocked her. 

Chapter 182 

Veda was so furious that she almost smashed her phone. 

She soon received a call from her father. “Dad, why are you so heartless? Do you really want to send me abroad? I can study here. And I don’t need to inherit the family business. I don’t want to learn, and it’s useless anyway!” 

Veda was utterly aggrieved. 

Her father had just received a call from Daniel. He was so intimidated by Daniel’s presence that he didn’t dare resist. 

After listening to Daniel, he wanted to hide. 

He was furious at Veda. “Shut up. You’ve been sent abroad, and you still don’t know how to behave. Do you really want never to return home? If you want to come back, behave yourself and don’t anger Daniel anymore.” 

Veda had thought her father was trying to force her to study abroad for her own good. She planned to return after a few days of fun, confident her father would indulge her. 

Now, hearing her father’s words, she realized it was Daniel who had sent her abroad. 

Her father’s call was likely related to her recent comment. 

Veda finally understood why Daniel had acted against her. It was because of Emily. 

She had dared to complain after taking fifty million dollars. 

Emily, just you wait. When I return, I’ll get my revenge. 

By then, Daniel might already hate her, and I can make her pay for today’s humiliation. 

Zoey was unaware of Veda’s situation. 

Her project renewal news hadn’t reached her yet. 

Seeing Daniel’s first social media post, breaking his usual rules for Emily, Zoey felt a growing sense of crisis. 

She was unwilling to accept this. She had asked Veda for a copy of the recording, hoping to expose Emily’s true nature to Daniel. 

Zoey: [Daniel, I shouldn’t be the one to say this, but as a friend who grew up with you, I can’t bear to see you deceived. I just learned the truth from Veda. You should listen and make a proper judgment.] 

She didn’t want to be the bad guy, so she pretended to be righteous. 

She even shifted all the blame to Veda. 

Daniel didn’t know Zoey well. Despite calling her a friend, he was naturally cold. After taking over the Smith Group, he had been busy, and their meetings were rare. 

At most, they exchanged greetings at gatherings with elders present.

Chapter 182 

But seeing her hypocritical, evasive, and falsely virtuous message, Daniel saw through her. 

Zoey probably never imagined Emily would hand over the fifty million to Daniel. 

So her lies were easily exposed by Daniel. 

Daniel: [People see others as they see themselves! Instead of worrying about my private matters, focus more on the company!] 

After sending this message, he blocked her, too. 

Zoey stared at Daniel’s evaluation of her, her face pale. 

Why did he see her this way? 

Had Emily secretly badmouthed her? She tried to explain, but her messages were rejected. 

This meant she’d been blocked. 

She collapsed onto her bed, her eyes filled with malice. 

She had always wanted to marry Daniel, to be as outstanding as he was. 

For this, she had worked tirelessly, putting in countless efforts and sacrifices. She was becoming more and more excellent, drawing closer to him. They were meant to be together. Why couldn’t he see her? 

And Emily, daring to deceive her, she’d make Emily pay for scheming against her. 

She dialed Emily’s number.
