Chapter 171 - 171: Anna Tang
The smile on Selena"s lips was as wide as the sky. Sitting in her cla.s.sroom, her eyes sparkling like the stars in the night sky were staring at her history teacher who was explaining the history.
She blinked her eyes when a hand pinched her side. She looked aside and saw Daniella with her narrowed eyes looking at her like a hawk.
"Focus Selena!" She firmly said.
She blew out her cheeks angrily, Daniella decided to sit in the cla.s.s so she could see how she was doing.
Daniella smirked after Selena failed most of her subjects she decided to focus at her more than before, that"s the reason why she"s in the cla.s.sroom and listening to the topic she already knew.
Her phone buzzed, Daniella took it out of her pocket and saw Caitlyn"s number.
Like a ninja, Daniella left the room unnoticed, not even Selena was aware that she disappeared.
"Yes?" she said as she answered the call.
"Have you seen the news?" Caitlyn"s voice sounded exhausted even though the day has barely started.
"What news?" Daniella has had an idea, but she"s not certain what has the news said.
"I am backing out, I need Camille in my magazine for this month whether she"s Mr. Su"s fiancée or not."
From walking in the stairs, Daniella froze, "I got your daughter. We have a deal, Caitlyn."
The other line went silent, "I know and I am grateful so I want to pay you for the service instead."
Daniella"s face darkened, everything was going smooth. She was not expecting this to happen, they had started the photoshoot and she didn"t want Scarlet to feel depressed because of this news.
She took in a deep breath, "Fine, but my fee is expensive Caitlyn. What I did for you was something I don"t normally do."
On the other line Caitlyn nodded, she knew very well that the woman was not as easy as she thought.
"how much?"
An evil smirked flashed on Daniella"s lips, "I want your company. I want the V Magazine."
The other line went silent again, though this time it was longer than before.
With a shaky voice, Caitlyn spoke, "are you out of your mind?" she got up from her chair and slammed a hand on the table, "I will never give my company to you."
Daniella knew it very well. Caitlyn has the same reaction as the previous CEO of the Island Bank but she"s Daniella, she will get what she wants.
"Look, Caitlyn, you can either make my Scarlet be the cover of your magazine or give me your company," she chuckled and it sounded emotionless, "or I will get your daughter and give it back to your ex."
The other line went silent, Daniella could hear the heavy breathing from Caitlyn.
"Do you think you can threaten me!" Caitlyn spoke after a long moment of silence.
"Oh yeah, definitely."
Caitlyn was taken aback by Daniella"s reply. She knew that the woman was bold and fearless and right now, she"s starting to regret that she made a deal with her.
She gulped hard, she will never give up her company nor her daughter, so she took a deep sigh and parted her lips, "fine, we will continue with our deal," then she hung up the phone.
Daniella smiled as she put the phone back in her pocket. She knew why Caitlyn was eager to get Camille for next month"s cover. The issue that she can tackle in the article will bring money to the company.
Daniella decided to go back to the cla.s.s, and there she found Selena chatting with Maddie. Instead of interrupting them, Daniella turned back and sent the girl a message that she will be back to pick her up later.
As she strode along the hallway, her mind was in a deep mess.
"Ouch!"
A woman"s voice disturbed Daniella"s thoughts after she b.u.mped into someone. She looked behind her and found a woman sitting on the ground with her face screwed in pain.
Daniella tilted her head, the woman was familiar. Her heart-shaped face and pet.i.te body, golden hair and fair skin, she couldn"t be mistaken. This woman was one of the famous supermodels in the country, Anna Tang.
Dana"s eyes went round. She was not into entertainment but Anna Tang was an exemption. For her, Anna"s beauty and talent were exquisite and she knew that if she were a man, she would definitely date her.
"OMG!" Daniella blurted with excitement as she helped Anna to get up, "you are Anna Tang right?"
The woman nodded and accepted her hand. Daniella pulled her up while her eyes shining like stars were staring with excitement at Anna.
"I am one of your fans!" she said in a whisper scream, "can I have a picture with you? I will have it frame and replace it with my boyfriend"s photo," she squealed as she took out the phone from her pocket.
"Sure," Anna replied with a smile.

The echo from Glen, Ken and Evan"s breathing sounded inside the cave as they helped each other to smash the rock on the wall.
They have been in the cave for more than an hour, sweat in big pieces fell from their faces and their shirts were also soaked.
Ken gasped and slumped down to the ground, "I can"t anymore," he said with exhaustion. His face was full of dust while his lips were dried and cracked as if he was lost in the desert with no access to water.
Glen was exhausted as well, he had never been in a mine and he didn"t know that it has a cold temperature but their constant movement had caused their bodies to sweat like never before.
"Me neither. I have cases to handle from the man Ken killed last week," he breathed heavily, " I need to review it or else Ken will be sent to jail next week."
His words were a half-joke but Ken and Evan knew that it"s possible.
Evan sat down next to Ken, he leaned his head on the wall and stared at the rock ceiling, "actually, I found a rock with some gold in it. I just really want more," a slight smirk was on his lips but the exhaustion was also painted on his face.
Hearing that, Ken and Glen"s face darkened. Each of them did not hesitate and pumped a fist at Evan"s chest, got up and walked out without helping him up.
