Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: Scolding for Coldness
The last character, Tiffany Lynch bit down especially hard, her eyes sharp and vicious, as if she wished to kill her adversary.
The agent felt a chill and wondered what kind of deep-seated hatred lay between the two.
Before leaving, she asked one last question, "Does President Simmons know about this?"
Tiffany Lynch laughed nonchalantly and confidently said, "Do you think Jimmy Simmons would fall out with me over a woman who’s not relevant?"
The agent realized what she meant, nodded, and decided not to pry further.
After all, with Jimmy Simmons backing her, there probably wouldn’t be any major problems.

Three days after the release of The Kite, the cumulative box office had surpassed 1.5 billion, with an average attendance rate of 66.75%.
Many were optimistic about The Kite’s future trends, giving it rave reviews and predicting a rosy outlook.
Hannah stayed up late as usual, scrolling through her phone.
She was considered an "old-timer" in the fandom, good at recommending her favorite movies and actors to others.
She casually posted an article and within a short while, it had been shared over a hundred times, and incidentally, she also dragged in some of the "sisters" who had "collapsed houses" with her before.
It was last night when she came out of the cinema that she realized something.
Female artists had a lower probability of "flipping their cars" than male artists; supporting a beautiful sister in her career was not a loss.
As the time drew near, Hannah thought of checking out the hot search to see how much more The Kite’s box office had broken.
But at that moment, a hot search ending with "explosive" news caught her eye.
Hannah was stunned, it took her several seconds to react, "Oh no, did my house collapse again?"
At eight in the evening, when online traffic peaked,
within minutes, the discussion on the "explosive" hot search had surged past ten thousand.
Usually, it’s all about pictures and solid proof, but here there was a video up front.
Apparently, it was a video taken by a passerby. The video’s main character was a woman begging with her son, her clothes tattered, her face sallow and eyes clouded.
The child beside her said nothing, head bowed, covered in mud, with clumped hair as if he hadn’t bathed for a long time, his true appearance almost unrecognizable, even wearing ill-fitting adult clothes.
They were probably fished out of a garbage can.
This "mother" was kneeling on the ground, telling her miserable story, pleading for a little charity from passersby.
They were having a hard time as an "orphaned mother and child."
The husband was a jerk, beating people when drunk and finally landing in jail after causing trouble, leaving them a "mother and son" burdened with a mountain of debt, their home emptied, forcing them to beg.
The sad story, combined with the pitiful condition of the "mother and son", indeed made it easy for people to feel compassionate.
In contrast to this "begging mother and son" was a girl standing in front of them.
In her early twenties, dressed in sparkling attire, slender, even just her back was a sight hard to take eyes off.
But the words she said made most of those watching the video feel a strong sense of discomfort.
"I have no money."
"Are you done talking?"
"That’s your story, however tragic, what does it have to do with me?"
As these words came out, some of the viewers watching the video could not help but curse.
In the video, the girl walked forward after she finished speaking, but at that moment, another girl stepped out.
Compared to the previous girl, this one appeared much "kinder."
