Evil But Sweet CEO (Mary and William)

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 A Good Show! Mary woke up from the nightmare, her cold sweat soaking the pillow. She looked up outside the window. It was already the next morning. The sun was very bright outside the window. The woman wiped her sweat and let out a long sigh of relief. She lay back on the bed. She did not know why she had such a dream. It was clear that nothing similar had happened to her before. Everything in the dream was very real as if she had really experienced it. Moreover, the fire was so big. If it were true, she would have been burned to death. She took a deep breath and told herself that yesterday’s movie must have caused her brain to be in a mess. That was why she had such an inexplicable dream. Mary closed her eyes. Before she could completely wake up, her phone rang. It was her father, Justin. “No money again?” Mary closed her eyes and said lazily, “Dad, you can’t keep drinking like this.” “Even if you used to be a special forces soldier, you are old after all. If you keep drinking like this, your body will collapse sooner or later.” “You should go out and find a job…” “Mary.” Before she could finish her sentence, Justin interrupted her. “Daddy called you to say goodbye.” Goodbye? Mary suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. “Where are you going?” “Didn’t I tell you that I was once a bodyguard after I retired from the army?” “The employer came to find me these days and asked me to go back and continue to protect her.” “I am at the airport now. I’m in a hurry, so I won’t say goodbye to you face to face.” “Dad, I actually… I only said these words because I was worried about you. I didn’t dislike you at all.”

“You… Don’t go.” “If you need money, I can give it to you.” Chapter 74 A Good Show! “Don’t go…” No matter how strong Justin was, he was now an old man in his fifties. She did not want him to do that kind of dangerous job anymore. Although she always acted like she disliked Justin, she knew that Justin was the one who loved her the most in the world.

In the first eighteen years of her life, he did not participate. But since they met each other finally five years ago, Justin had taken care of her a lot. He taught her martial arts and how to protect herself. If not for Justin, she would not have been able to be a martial arts substitute so well. “Be good.” “I’m going back this time not for money, but to repay kindness.” Justin sighed. “For the past five years, I’ve been afraid of troubling you, so I didn’t dare to contact you too much. In the future, when I go abroad, I’ll contact you even less.” “Mary, you have to take care of yourself.” “Then you have to be careful outside.” Mary bit her lips, tears silently falling. “I will.” Justin smiled faintly. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something. “The jade pendant that I gave you last time, you have to keep it well. Don’t let anyone see it. Do you hear me?” Hearing him mention the jade pendant, Mary was shocked. “That jade pendant… I lost it.” The last time she came out of Justin’s house, she was kidnapped by Director Wang’s people, and she had been busy all the time. When she remembered the jade pendant, she could no longer find it. She had also returned to the alley where she had been attacked and asked about the police who had investigated the case that day, but she still could not find it. “I’m sorry, Dad.” “I was careless…” Mary did not tell him about her being kidnapped. On the other side of the line, Justin was silent for a long time. “Maybe this is fate.” “You don’t have to blame yourself. That jade pendant is not worth much.” Justin sighed. Chapter 74 A Good Show! “Actually, I don’t know if it is good or bad to give you that jade pendant…” Perhaps it was destined that Mary and her family would not reunite. Thinking about it now, it was not a bad thing. “Just pretend that you never had that jade pendant.” “Protect yourself, hide your birthmark, and live a good life in the future.” “Dad, do you have a photo of that jade pendant?” Mary pursed her lips. “I actually blame myself for losing my mother’s pendant. I have posted a bounty on the Internet recently, but there are no photos. I have only seen it once. I can’t describe it…” “There are no photos!” “I told you not to look anymore!” Justin’s voice suddenly became serious. “Even if there are photos, you are not allowed to look for it again. This matter ends here!” “It’s time to board the

plane. I’m leaving,” he said with a sigh. “Remember, don’t look for it!” Mary frowned and wanted to say something more, but there was only a beeping sound on the other side of the line. She sighed doubtfully. When she called again, Justin had turned off his phone. Helplessly putting down the phone, Mary turned on the computer. A few people had already replied to the bounty post that she had posted. There were even private detectives who had left their contact details and asked her to call them. Mary took a deep breath and deleted the post. She did not understand why her father would have such a strong reaction. That jade pendant was just a relic of her mother. Why was it so mysterious? Mary couldn’t figure it out, so she decided not to think about it. At this time, an email came. She opened her email and found that it was a new script sent by the general screenwriter. Mary roughly glanced at it. There were major changes. The supporting role changed from a silly girl in love into a career woman, and her romance with Raymond had become not so important. It was also because the romance part had been deleted to the point that not even half of it was left, that in the following days when Mary was filming, she had never filmed Chapter 74 A Good Show! with Raymond When she was filming with Raymond again, it was the day of Golden Ox Award’s awards ceremony. The awards ceremony was at night. “Hurry up and put on makeup for Raymond!” Raymond’s assistant shouted from the set early in the morning. “In the afternoon, Raymond still has to prepare for tonight’s awards ceremony!” “This year’s best actor is none other than Raymond! Be careful! He’s a star-to-be!” “Show off!” “It’s not even the awards ceremony yet,” the makeup artist whispered to Mary. “And he’s acting like he already got the award. Annoying!” After saying that, the makeup artist looked at Mary and curled her lips. “And I heard that Raymond’s ex-girlfriend has been disqualified, but for some reason, she qualified again just a week before the award ceremony!” “And she has a high chance of winning according to the news.” She nudged Mary with her arm. “Do you think it would be a good show tonight?” Mary frowned and

thought for a moment before smiling. “A good show it will be indeed!” But it was not the kind of show everybody else was expecting. After all, Mary was very clear that Raymond and Alice actually did not break up at all. The show that she spoke of… was of another kind.
