She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Perhaps she didn't expect her to admit it directly, and a hint of surprise flashed across Verina's eyes.

"I thought you would deny it."

"In this case, there's no point in denying it." Su Lingxi said succinctly, "You took the initiative to talk to me about this matter, which means you already have a basic judgment in your mind, right?"

Verina narrowed her eyes and did not answer.

In fact, she did not expect Su Lingxi to be so frank in front of her, but... no matter whether her attitude was frank or not, it could not change the fact that they were each other's biggest rivals.

"Of course, our purpose must be the same." After a moment of silence, Verina smiled softly, with a hint of sarcasm that could not be ignored. "Unfortunately - your information seems to be a little outdated."

Obviously, she meant something.

But the possibility of deliberate mystification cannot be ruled out.

Su Lingxi knew that she must not show any panic at this time, otherwise she would be completely caught up in the conversation rhythm firmly controlled by Verina. She said lightly, "I don't know what you are talking about, Verina. Director Selina may come to the party, or she may not. This is something that none of us can foresee in advance."

Verina crossed her arms and looked at her sharply and coldly: "Really?"

"But I think you shouldn't continue wasting time testing me here. The best option is to go home early before the party starts."

"You are destined not to see the person you want to see tonight."

Her tone was extremely firm. Without waiting for Su Lingxi to reply, she waved her hand, put a smile on her face again, and turned around with a swaying figure to meet her management team.

The two people who were chatting and laughing five minutes ago quickly parted ways at this moment.

Su Lingxi is now certain that Verina must have known some new information that she doesn't know - and this information is 100% related to Selina!

"Sister, I seem to have seen Director Selina at the back door of the garden just now..." Just at this moment, Zhu Hanqiu's anxious voice came from her ears.

Su Lingxi's heart sank. She immediately lifted her skirt, turned around and walked towards the garden.

After arriving at the manor, she immediately arranged for Zhu Hanqiu and Zhang Wenya to keep watch at the hidden places of the side door and the back door respectively, with the aim of finding Mia Selina's whereabouts as soon as possible.

According to what Zhu Hanqiu said just now, Selina was most likely planning to drive away early because she had something urgent to do. After all, Eva had a high status in French upper society, and Selina would not easily refuse her invitation.

But since Selina had already arrived at the manor, why didn't she go to the main banquet hall?

Su Lingxi was very sure that he did not see her in the main hall.

Was it because of lack of time? Or was he stopped halfway?

Su Lingxi's brain was working rapidly, and Verina's ambiguous words appeared in her mind again.

——No, that’s not right!

If it was the former, then it wouldn't make sense for Verina to get the news so quickly; the only explanation could be the latter...

The person who stopped Selina outside the banquet hall in advance was 100% sure to be Verina and her team!

"Are we going to look for Director Selina now?" Zhu Hanqiu followed Su Lingxi and asked in a low voice, "But... Director Selina drove here today, and she might have left now..."

Su Lingxi glanced at her without stopping, "No matter if she has left now or not, I have to go over and confirm it."

What if she was delayed by something and didn't have time to leave?

Su Lingxi knew that her idea was a pipe dream, but she had to confirm it with her own eyes before she would give up.

"How about asking the boss and the others? This manor is under the boss's name. Maybe she knows where Director Selina is..." Zhu Hanqiu asked hesitantly.

Su Lingxi sighed, "Hanqiu, can't you see? What happened tonight is not as simple as it seems. Rather than an opportunity, it is more like a test that Ms. Eva prepared for me."

"what?"

Zhu Hanqiu was stunned, looking a little confused.

"Eva is the owner of the manor. Every entrance and exit of the manor, big or small, is guarded by security personnel and monitored. As long as she wants, she can always inform us of Director Selina's location." Su Lingxi explained patiently, "But she didn't do that. Why do you think that is?"

"But..." Zhu Hanqiu frowned, feeling that his thoughts were completely messed up, "I thought she had already recognized us yesterday..."

"Recognition does not mean understanding. She deliberately gave me this opportunity today just to see how far I can go with her help."

Eva can give her teacher unreserved trust because of their old friendship, but she certainly cannot give the same trust to a stranger.

It's useless even if she is a student trusted by the teacher.

She still needs to prove her unique value to her.

Only valuable people can be useful.

Su Lingxi looked at the empty garden not far away, slowly stopped, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Not as someone's student or someone's girlfriend, but as Nicole."

"What, can't you do it?"

"If you can't even do this, I suggest you take a flight back home overnight. There's no need to waste time staying here."

Thinking back to what Eva said when she left her alone in the inner room a few hours ago, Su Lingxi unconsciously clenched her fists.

Get to know Mia Selina as Nicole, not as someone's student or xxx's female companion...

Can she really not do it?

At this moment, Su Lingxi calmed down instead. Her dark eyes were like a bottomless ocean as she stared at the male servant standing upright at the back door of the garden.

Anger can only make people more stupid. No one should let anger dominate their thoughts and actions.

She must always remain rational and calm.

This time she was careless and underestimated the connections and means that Verina had accumulated over her years in Paris.

The fact that she is able to secure her position as a top French actress as a foreigner at the age of 20 is not just due to her solid acting skills.

There must be both overt and covert human relationships and information exchanges.

After all, in today's world, first-hand information is always the most precious thing.

Since Selina drove out through the back door of the garden, perhaps the servant would know the time and direction of her departure.

If she gave him a bigger tip, maybe she could get more information out of him.

Su Lingxi thought of plan B and was about to walk over, but a lazy voice behind her caught her attention.

"Beautiful lady, please tell me...are you waiting for me?"
