Chapter 23: Everyone's attitude towards Regina has changed

Regina returned to the city, Myrna immediately picked her up to Regina's entertainment company.

"Has your wound healed yet?" Regina asked.

"It's healed. It's just that the scar looks a bit ugly." Myrna lit a cigarette as she drove, took a puff, and rolled down the window to breathe out.

"You quit smoking a long time ago." Regina didn't stop Myrna, she just muttered.

"Yeah. I've been a bit stressed the past two months."

Myrna said nothing more, but Regina understood why Myrna had reverted to smoking. Over the years, Regina and Myrna have been together, and suddenly Regina says she wants to give up being a singer, making Myrna feel like she's betrayed. That's why Myrna hasn't called Regina for the past two months, even when Regina wanted to call, Myrna wouldn't pick up the phone. They only communicate through text messages.

"Stop being moody. This is the last time I smoke." Myrna casually threw away the cigarette, increased the gas to get to the office quickly. She then reached out and lightly touched Regina's cheek. "I've thought about it. You want to be a singer, I support you. You're bored, I won't force you anymore. Okay?"

Regina knew that this was her and Myrna's reconciliation, so she sincerely nodded and smiled, the burden in her heart gradually dissipated.

At the company, so much had changed that Regina and Myrna both found it hard to believe. Before, they never received respect or attention from anyone in the company. Their status and reputation in the entertainment industry is too low, so it is obvious that they are looked down upon. However, today, as soon as they entered the company lobby, all eyes were on them, many people in the company even approached Regina and Myrna and greeted in a friendly manner.

"Regina, now I really believe luck has found us. Your husband is number one." Myrna said cheerfully, she was so happy that her eyes filled with laughter.

"Regina, here you are. We're all waiting for you."

The board of directors and management of the company were present in the meeting room. This is something that rarely happens. Even Roxana had never received such great treatment and attention. The general manager, Mr. Otis, proposed the release of the first album for Regina.

"During the promotion of her first album, we will actively receive advertising contracts and music gigs. In addition, the company has also arranged a stylist and make-up team for Regina. Myrna, you will be in charge of arranging the detailed schedule for Regina."

"Yeah I get it." Myrna showed a confident smile.

After the meeting, Mr. Otis returned to his office and quickly made a call.

"Hello sir, I'm Otis. Sir, I have followed your instructions." Mr. Otis's voice showed humility.

"Okay. Please pay attention to her."

"Yes, of course I will. Thank you for the investment in our company. Hope in the future we will receive more help from you."

After the phone call ended, Mr. Otis breathed a sigh of relief. A few days ago, their Lightning company suddenly received a huge investment. The sender is not a businessman or a wealthy investor connected to the entertainment industry, but a mafia boss. With a low mood, Mr. Otis personally contacted Darryl Rider. And the answer he got was.

"This is an investment for my wife. I hope you know how to use it."

Mr. Otis panicked, he had absolutely no idea who Darryl Rider's wife was. He dispatched the entire staff to find out the identity of Darryl's mysterious wife but failed. Until yesterday, the media reported that Darryl Rider and Regina Lynne were married, and even had a marriage certificate signed by the two. Only then did he realize that the singer he had ignored had such a respectable status.

While Mr. Otis was deep in thought, the door to his room was banged. Without his permission, Roxana Lynne lost her patience and opened the door herself and entered the room.

"Lord Otis, how do you explain this?"

Roxana flung a file on the table. Mr. Otis didn't need to open it to know it was a music promotion project for Regina.

"There's no need to explain. Regina is a singer for Lightning Company, promoting her music is something she should've been given sooner."

"That's ridiculous. I've never seen you do this in five years, now suddenly you've changed your mind?" Roxana sneered.

"Because now her identity has changed." Mr. Otis was not ashamed of his previous carelessness, on the contrary he freely admitted it.

When Mr. Joshua, the father of Regina and Roxana, is still one of the largest shareholders of the company with 30% of the investment capital, then of course the Lynne's power is great. Roxana can freely be bossy, pressuring other singers, while she still receives quality music projects, making her name famous. Mr. Joshua showed favoritism and pampered Roxana very much, so Mr. Otis also humbled her.

As for Regina, although she was also a member of the Lynne family, being the daughter of Mr. Joshua, her treatment was completely different from that of her sister.

The only reason is because Roxana hates Regina. So as long as Regina was in the Lightning Company, she would never be famous.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Roxana braced herself on her hips and said.

"I mean Mr. Joshua is no longer the largest shareholder of the company. From now on, please remember to knock on the door before entering the room."

Mr. Otis said coldly, he no longer had to put up with her smug and unpleasant personality. Roxana's face paled, for the first time she was ignored and not favored. This made Roxana indescribably angry. As soon as she got home, she immediately burst into tears and threw herself into Joshua's lap.

"Dad, Mr. Otis bullied me today. He favored Regina and gave her a musical project I've been waiting for so long."

"Ah, is it something related to Regina?" Mr. Joshua stroked his daughter's head and sighed. "Actually, your sister is also a singer, she has never had any projects."

Joshua spoke for a moment, then hesitated, then stopped talking. At this point, Anne came down from upstairs and joined the conversation.

"Honey, Roxana is younger than Regina, she should have gotten the project she wanted." Anne's voice was sweet and gentle, taking her husband's arm.

"I understand, but..."

Mr. Joshua was awkward for a moment, then spoke up. The Lynne family used to be a wealthy family, but then they ran into some trouble and almost went bankrupt. Even so, Mr. Joshua still tries his best to maintain his position as one of the largest shareholders of Lightning company, all because of Roxana.

After Regina married Darryl Rider, the projects of the Lynne family company were gradually carried out one by one, as Darryl Rider gave them a lot of capital. Everything seemed to be okay, when suddenly he received news that someone had invested trillions of dollars in Lightning Company, a hundred times more than what Mr. Joshua spent.

"That's it. That mysterious man is now the company's largest shareholder. He holds tremendous decision-making power in the company." Mr. Joshua took a sip of water and said.

"I just read in the newspaper the other day that Darryl Rider announced publicly that he was married to Regina Lynne. Could it be... he's the one?" asked Anne nervously. She feels this is the greatest possibility.

"Impossible." Roxana dismissed that idea and laughed heartily. "He's a mafia boss, a hideous man who only knows how to kill and gamble. How can he be so business savvy?"

"But he's rich." Anne disagreed with her daughter.

"I don't know if that mysterious shareholder is Darryl Rider, but I do know one thing for sure, from now on, Roxana, you can't be so pushy." Mr. Joshua is both serious and compassionate to remind his beloved daughter.

"But, Dad..."

Roxana wanted to say something more, but Joshua got up tiredly and went back to his room. He is an old man, for several years now his pelvis is often painful, sitting for a long time makes him feel uncomfortable. His last wish is to care for Roxana and Anne to live a prosperous life.

Anne pinched Roxana's hand and lowered her voice to speak to her daughter.

"It was very difficult for your father to bring the company from the brink of bankruptcy until the company prospered again. The problem in your entertainment company is for later discussion.

I said if you marry Darryl Rider and coax him to invest more in your father's company, wouldn't it be so difficult?"

"Mom, how could you let me marry someone like Darryl? Even if he was rich, I wouldn't want to. Regina should have known and done it for our family, but since she married Darryl she's disappeared." Roxana habitually attributed all the blame to Regina.

"She's really selfish." Anne felt that Roxana was right. Then she added. "How about you?"

"Hmm? Me? Mom, I will only marry a perfect man like Hubert Roger. Don't worry, when we get married, he will definitely support our business." Roxana said with a voice full of confidence and certainty.

"Ah yes. Hubert. Since he went abroad to do business, I have not seen him again. You are right, as long as Hubert is with us, our family doesn't need to care about Darryl Rider. " Anne seemed to have thought it through, smiling comfortably.
