Chapter 139 Cracking Under Pressure

• Cynthia couldn’t argue with James. After all, the event would never have happened if it weren’t for him and everything would have been ruined under her charge.
• She turned away from him in exasperation and abandoned all thoughts of retorting against him, although the reluctance to give him credit was clear in her eyes.
• To one side, Jill had slightly dipped her head as she watched everything unfold before her. Spite and disbelief colored her gaze as her heart twisted with grudge and resentment. She had been so close to one-upping Cynthia, but just as her plans to get the girl fired were about to come true, James just had to step in and save the day. More importantly, he didn’t hold back in making sure that the event went on without a hitch and he even managed to create more buzz around it in the process.
