Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 145 Fight Dirty

It was quite late when Darya reached home.

She brushed her teeth, changed into a set of comfortable pyjamas and slipped into bed, planning to catch up on

some much-needed rest.

The next morning, the sun's rays filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow on Darya's face.

The combination of her biological clock and the glaring light caused her to toss and turn, yet she was unwilling

to open her eyes.

It was a Saturday.

She didn't have to go to work.

It was the persistent ringing of her phone that finally jolted her awake.

Darya fumbled around on the bed until she located her phone and answered the call.

With a groggy voice and a hint of annoyance, she grumbled, 'It's so early in the morning. What's so urgent?'

It was a perfect weekend morning, and she yearned for a few more hours of sleep.

But Harley's voice exploded through the receiver, disrupting her tranquillity.

'You're still sleeping? Darya, you're all over the headlines again! The news of you keeping male celebrities as your personal playthings is spreading like wildfire. How can you still be in the mood to sleep?"

Darya's eyes widened in disbelief. 'Playthings? Who is it this time, Oliver?'

She had only met Oliver Sterling for the first time yesterday.

How could he suddenly have become her boy toy?

Harley burst into laughter on the other end of the line. 'Not just him! Callan is also in the mix. Oliver's answer yesterday got recorded by someone, and with a bit of editing, it turned into a love triangle drama. The whole internet is buzzing about how lucky you are with men. They even claim that wealthy women are on a whole different level. Guess who's behind all this?'

Frowning, Darya didn't need to think twice about who orchestrated it.

Amelia Langford was the only person she had a falling out with at the event yesterday.

It had to be her.

'Let me guess, Amelia, right? Doesn't she have anything better to do?' Darya said with a mix of resignation, yawning.

'Congratulations, you got it in one!'

Darya fell back into bed, groaning "Why do women treat me like their arch nemesis every single day? Can't I even enjoy a single relaxing weekend?"

As the president of the Paragon Group, responsible for the livelihood of tens of thousands of workers, Darya

found herself constantly caught up in work.

All she wanted was to make the most of her days off and have some peace and quiet.

But it seemed that Amelia, that woman, just couldn't resist stirring up trouble.

'Well, it's Micah's fault for being so irresistibly charming,' Harley joked. 'Amelia's targeting you because of him."

Absolutely.

Darya agreed with her friend.

Amelia had always harboured a strong affection for Micah, whereas he had been fixated on Darya the previous

day.

He had even come to her aid when reporters besieged her, which only fanned the flames of Amelia's jealousy.

It was all Micah's fault.

Darya pulled the blanket over her face, frustrated.

They were already divorced, so why did he have to complicate things for her?

She wished she could tattoo the words 'I don't know Micah well' across her forehead.

'Hello? Darya? You still there?' Harley shouted into her phone.

Darya sprang up and tossed the blanket aside.

'Since she's itching for a fight, then I won't hold back either,' Darya declared with her characteristic

ruthlessness.

Witnessing the way Amelia treated her, Darya knew the woman would continue to cause problems in the

future.

And if that was the case, then she would have to destroy Amelia.

After ending the call with Harley, Darya called Glen Chasey.

Glen Chasey, who had just woken up and was enjoying a cup of coffee, had

expected a peaceful weekend.

But seeing Darya's incoming call, he knew his hopes were in vain.

'Good morning, boss,' he answered his phone.

'Morning, Glen, someone has ruined my day off, so I have no choice but to come and harass y

Glen tapped into the news app and saw, at a glance, what Darya was referring to. 'I see. What can I do to help?'

A mischievous smile played on her lips. 'I want you to look into Amelia Langford,

dig up any and all dirt on her. Also, I want to acquire Starlight Entertainment.'

Starlight Entertainment and Eminence were the two behemoths of the entertainment industry, each one vying

for the top spot.

Darya already owned Eminence, so why would she suddenly want to acquire Starlight Entertainment?

It seemed that Amelia had truly crossed the line.

'Purchasing Starlight might be a bit complicated,' Glen said. 'Most of the shares are held by the Langford family,

but your brother Callan also has a stake.'

'Good, that makes it easy. And talk to Bradley. He knows people in showbiz.'

'I'll give him a call right after this. And make arrangements to talk to the other shareholders.'

'I knew I can count on you.' Darya thanked her assistant and hung up, making a mental note to give him a

raise.

She lazed around in bed for a while longer, then got up and went downstairs for breakfast.

Since her plans for Saturday were already ruined, she might as well get some work done.

She drove to Eminence's office after getting a call from Bradley, who'd heard from Glen about the pending acquisition of Starlight.

As Darya stepped inside the grand lobby of Eminence Entertainment, she was greeted by an expansive space adorned with sleek, modern designs and a touch of opulence.

The walls were embellished with framed gold and platinum records, showcasing the immense success and star power associated with the company.

The centrepiece of the lobby is a magnificent crystal chandelier that cascaded from the high ceiling, casting a radiant glow over the area.

Its dazzling lights reflected off the polished marble floors, creating an atmosphere

of elegance and prestige.

Plush velvet sofas were strategically placed, offering both comfort and style to visitors who wished to relax or engage in conversations.

A massive LED screen mounted on one wall displayed captivating music videos, teasers, and promotional content of Eminence's top artists.

The vibrant visuals and pulsating beats immersed visitors in the world of pop

music, fuelling excitement and anticipation for the talents that emerged from this prestigious company.
