Rebirth Top Star Actress novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

:

James: [Emily, please don’t do this. It really hurts me. Remember the promise you made to me when we were kids?]

James was relentless, sending out another message.

The gossip–hungry internet crowd caught wind of the drama and swarmed in.

[What’s going on here? There’s definitely a story behind this. Is this some kind of family drama where one’s chasing and the other’s running away, with no end in sight?]

[Didn’t someone say Emily used to pick up trash as a kid? Could it be that James actually likes a girl who picked up trash? CEO Falls for Trash Picker‘? If that’s the case, I might be okay with it too.]

[Maybe Emily’s gorgeous despite picking up trash? I mean, she does have that face.]

[But she must smell!]

A new wave of online chatter erupted.

The news cycle just wouldn’t calm down.

Emily’s face darkened with anger.

Was James trying to help her, or was he deliberately making things worse?

Did he really think that by stirring up the internet crowd, he could change her mind?

He underestimated her resolve to leave him.

Daniel saw James’s tweet too.

With a cold smile, he went to his computer, and his fingers flew over the keyboard.

As he hit enter, James’s tweet vanished, and his account was immediately suspended, with no comments allowed.

Netizens were baffled, wondering what had happened.

James frowned, his face growing darker.

He didn’t realize it was Daniel’s doing, assuming Twitter had the guts to suspend his account. He was about to call and question it.

But before he could, Kade called.

“Dad!”

“Don’t call me Dad. I should be calling you Dad! You ignored Emily’s feelings and got involved with Bianca. You were the one who initiated the breakup. Now, what are you doing? Do you think engagements are some kind of joke?“.

“I’m incredibly disappointed in you. You shouldn’t stay in the country anymore. There’s an overseas project now. Go to the branch office there, and take some time to reflect. If you can’t figure out where you went wrong, don’t come back. And forget about inheriting Ascend Global Group!”

Kade’s scolding was relentless, almost making him lose his breath several times.

It was clear he was truly furious.

“Dad, I don’t want to go. I know I messed up before. But can you give me another chance? You can see now that Emily is very valuable. She’s exceptional and resilient. Ascend Global Group needs not just a virtuous woman but a capable partner for expansion. She’s the best

partner.”

“If it were before, I might agree. But now, it’s too late!”

“Why? It’s not too late! Dad, I’ll work hard to win her back. And I forgot to tell you, when I went to Regal City, I was planning to meet Mr. Rogers. Do you know who he’s collaborating with? Emily. If she can impress Mr. Rogers, she might be even more outstanding than we thought.”

James was deeply regretful. How could he not have realized she wasn’t someone who would sell herself for a collaboration? It had to be her capabilities.

Even Harold wouldn’t agree to a major project just because of lust!

It was all Bianca’s fault. Her misstatement made him doubt Emily.

“Why didn’t you say this earlier? It’s too late now! Stop thinking about it. Come home. I’m arranging for you to go abroad!”

Kade sighed regretfully.

But he didn’t change his stance.

James finally sensed that something was off. He insisted, “Dad, I’m not going abroad. And why are you so determined to send me away? What’s really going on?”

But the answer didn’t come from Kade.

Instead, Jace burst in, shouting urgently, “Mr. James Smith, it’s bad. Mr. Kade Smith has called people to take you back.”

As soon as Jace finished speaking, several men dressed as bodyguards stormed in.

“Mr. Smith, please come with us. Don’t make us use force. We don’t intend to harm you,” the lead bodyguard said coldly.

Seeing the situation, James knew he couldn’t escape. He decided not to resist.

“Fine, let’s go.”

At least he could go back and find out what was happening.

When James returned, Kade was already waiting in the study.

Chapter 164

Once he entered, Kade waved the bodyguards away, leaving the room to the two of them.

James frowned and said, “Dad, can you tell me now why you’re so insistent on sending me abroad? Whose idea is this? Is it Daniel’s?”

He suddenly realized the key issue.

If it was Daniel’s order, it made sense.

Kade feared Daniel’s authority, but James felt like a sacrificial lamb.

Now, Daniel was not only the leader of the Smith Group but also James’s rival in love. This made him even more frustrated and angry. “Even if he’s the head of the Smith family, he can’t just decide my fate. I don’t believe that no one can control him!”

James thought Daniel still had elders in the family, including his father, Atlas Smith. It shouldn’t be a one–man show.

He underestimated Daniel’s influence and power.

He hadn’t grasped the situation.

Of course, the family had hidden many things from him, making it hard for him to see clearly.

“You think I want you to leave? There’s no choice. You have no idea how ruthless Daniel is. Do you remember your mother? Do you know why she was investigated and is still in custody?”

James’s eyes widened.
