Rebirth Top Star Actress novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

“My esteemed guests, I’m really sorry for the misunderstanding. We’ve had some troublemakers lately, and I mistook you for them. Mr. Johnson called specifically to let us know you’re honored guests, and we’re here to invite you upstairs personally.”

Zaid quickly apologized after hanging up the phone.

“Mr. Reyes, they’re just following orders. If you want to settle scores, wouldn’t it be better to talk to Eli?”

Emily winked at Isaac.

Recalling their previous cooperation, where Eli made concessions, she figured it might work again this time.

Isaac understood.

Isaac smiled and waved his hand generously, “We have important business today, so let’s not dwell on this.”

With that, the group finally took the elevator directly to the executive floor.

As Bianca and Finn entered, Emily and her group were already in the elevator.

Finn looked at the empty lobby and frowned, “What’s going on? Where are the people you were supposed to stop? Where did you take them?”

Zaid was annoyed with Finn at this point.

So, although he didn’t show it outright, his tone wasn’t particularly respectful. “Those are Mr. Eli Johnson’s honored guests. How could I do anything to them? Mr. Finn Johnson, you should be clearer with your instructions. This was a mistake!”

Finn didn’t expect a mere security captain to speak to him like this.

“What? Are you turning the tables and blaming me now?”

Finn was almost ready to point his finger at Zaid and curse.

Seeing Bianca, Zaid felt more confident, knowing she had Parker’s support.

He turned to Bianca, ‘Ms. Bianca Johnson, you have to help me. Because of Mr. Finn Johnson’s orders, we almost got scolded by Mr. Eli Johnson. Parker asked you to take good care of me. If the chairman holds me responsible and fires me, you have to speak up for me.”

Finn frowned and looked at Bianca in confusion, “Bianca? What’s Zaid talking about? Who’s Parker? Why does he sound like a thug?”

*Finn, Parker is a friend’s brother who has helped me a lot in the past. Naturally, I can’t disregard his face. Just leave it be. This is partly my fault for not seeing clearly earlier. Finn, I’m sorry!”

Despite Finn’s earlier call, Eli was still angry, and Finn couldn’t avoid a scolding.

Finn was puzzled, “Who is Emily hanging out with? Didn’t Eli kick her out of the family? Why is she now an honored guest?”

Bianca was equally confused but had no choice.

“If we want to know, we’ll have to go upstairs. I’m curious too about who our father considers honored guests.”

Hopefully, it’s not Byron and Isaac, who were originally her followers.

Bianca clenched her fists and then took Finn’s arm as they went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Emily and Isaac’s elevator had already reached the executive floor.

The elevator doors opened.

Eli immediately put on his most sincere and enthusiastic smile, “Isaac-”

Then his expression froze. “Why are you here?”

His gaze shifted to Isaac, Byron, Sophia, and their assistant behind Emily.

“Isaac, what’s going on? Are you joking? I just issued a statement severing ties with Emily, and now you bring her here. What are you trying to do?”

Eli’s smile couldn’t hold, and he asked with a hint of resentment.

Isaac wanted to laugh, but kept his expression unchanged, “Who said I’m joking? You know me well. I never mess around with work. But do you really want me to discuss the project in the elevator?”

Despite his reluctance, Eli had to invite them in with a sullen face.

Sophia almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, feeling like she was about to burst.

Byron, knowing the situation, managed to keep a straight face but was secretly delighted.

He even gave Emily a thumbs–up in approval.

Emily smiled, clearly pleased by Byron’s gesture.

Sophia saw this and glared at Byron.

How dare he try to take her place as Emily’s favorite? He deserved a beating!

Soon, Emily and her group were led to the conference room.

Eli couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke, “Isaac, can you explain what’s going on? I won’t recognize this daughter, no matter what y

say!”

He glared at Emily, not like a former daughter but more like an enemy.

Sophia thought he was heartless, not expecting him to be so cold–blooded.

Chapter 129

How could a man look at his daughter with such eyes?

Feeling sorry tot Emily, she couldn’t help but slightly block Eli’s view of her.

Isaac didn’t like Eli’s attitude towards Emily, but didn’t show it immediately.

Instead, he said. Today, we’re here to discuss the project. I brought Emily because she agreed to cure Byron’s chronic illness. In return, I made her the project leader, and-

Isaac deliberately paused, dragging out his words.

Eli’s already sullen face grew darker.

Byron couldn’t help but interject, “And gave Ms. Johnson, your daughter Emily, ten percent of the shares!”

Sophia was shocked.

She thought: Emily is impressive.

Eli was incredulous, thinking he must be dreaming, “Isaac, are you crazy? Giving Emily ten percent of the shares? What are you thinking?

Isaac was serious, “Eli, this is an internal matter of my company, unrelated to the project. Let’s discuss the project first. Please call your project leader; we need to coordinate the next steps.”

Eli met Isaac’s gaze, and Isaac didn’t flinch.

Clearly, he was serious.

Eli looked at Emily and sneered, “You have some tricks. But even if you got those shares, you’d better hold onto them. No wonder you dared to challenge me.”

He then called the project leader and several key staff members.
