Chapter 37 Pure Nonsense
Francesca hesitated for a moment before turning on her phone.
Landon Group issued an official statement explicitly clarifying Benedict and Suzanna’s relationship. They declared that the so–called marriage and love were pure nonsense.
They also warned the perpetrators that they reserve the right to pursue legal action.
Suzanna was utterly embarrassed after this.
The comments section exploded, and students from Thompson University stepped forward to confirm that Marley had indeed burned more than 200 paintings.
Because his paintings were priceless, many people’s hearts ached. They said that burning his paintings was equivalent to burning a mansion.
However, Marley himself did not want to attract too much attention, so the students did not announce it to the public.
Nina chattered on the other end of the phone, “I didn’t expect that that stupid man would draw boundaries. Aren’t the two of them already set in stone? Or is it because he’s afraid that it will affect Landon Group’s stock price, so he’s temporarily keeping it under the covers and only getting married
overseas secretly after the fiasco blows over? This stupid man is too scheming.”
Nina became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke. Francesca had no choice but to interrupt her. “Alright, let’s get down to business. How much do you know about Suncatcher Corporation?”
Nina scoffed, “How much do I know? Both the Zieglers young and old, are just slowly running the company dry. The company has long been in debt. Their capital chain ruptured, and their management is also a mess. Kai Ziegler was thinking of selling shares. Why are you asking?”
Francesca raised her eyebrows. Jessica had indeed laid out a trap for her. In that case, the dinner tomorrow night would be interesting.
“Nothing. Thank you for telling me such important news. Where do you want to go tonight? My treat.”
Nina was excited when she heard that. She told her the name of the club and Francesca even specially drove to pick her up after she was done with work.
Heat washed over them. Deafening music came in waves, and the DJ’s wild beats shot through everyone’s nerves like an electric current. The air smelled of alcohol and perfume, and the colorful lights dazzled.
Nina ordered two cocktails and pointed at the steel pipe on the stage. “Do you want to dance?”
The music and lights on the stage had changed. The colorful lights shone on the steel pipe, it was like a portal to another world. Nina finished her glass and went up first. She hooked her finger at her.
Francesca was in a good mood today. She felt that she had been suppressing herself for too long. Her obedient and gentle demeanor was all fake. She was never a helpless and innocent girl who needed the sympathy of others. She was a queen and was born to be worshipped by others! She stretched out her slender fingers and gently traced the steel pipe. Although she had not rehearsed with Nina, their chemistry rivaled those of dancers who had been partners for years. Her skirt fluttered, and the steel pipe was like a toy in her hand. She was so flexible, it was as if she had no bones, and her movements were as smooth as a

The others backed away voluntarily, giving the stage to the two dazzling figures. Nina was passionate and free, completely letting go of herself. After dancing for while, she ran to drink and then popped back to enjoy herself. Her vitality was like an inexhaustible flame.
Nina was having too much fun. She hopped over to the DJ and snatched the microphone. “Everyone, let me make a grand introduction. Everything is on my friend tonight! We celebrate her getting rid of that stupid man and regaining singlehood! Let’s drink till we drop!”
Nina’s heroic words made Francesca feel like she was a sucker. She would have to spend close to a million dollars tonight. However, since Nina did not feel embarrassed, she did not care.
These two girls were so gorgeous and generous, so they naturally attracted the attention of many people. Francesca was afraid that Nina would be hungover the next day after drinking so much, but Nina just waved her away and continued to dance. She was the queen of the nightclub, so this was not a problem.
In just a short while, three men came one after another to ask for their contact details. Their mouths were full of glib–tongued words.
and Francesca was extremely annoyed. She excused herself and went to the washroom for some peace quiet. As soon as she returned, she saw a gangster in a leather jacket sitting in her seat and tossing a pill into her cup.
