Chapter 165
Persuading David turned out to be much easier than expected.
Paul said over the phone, “The key to breaking through someone’s psychological
defenses is to cater to their preferences. David is a man who values his reputation, so
as long as you give him enough respect, he’ll be pleased and not difficult to control.”
Upon hearing this, Sherry could only smile bitterly. Even Nora understood this principle,
but unfortunately, her late mother would never be able to see how pathetic David had
become.
What a shame.
But it’s also for the best. If her mother saw that the man she once deeply loved turned
out to be such an old–fashioned person, she would probably be greatly disappointed.
Following Sherry’s suggestion, Paul organized a grand welcome ceremony for David. It
took place in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel, and thanks to the relationship with
Maverick, half of the entertainment industry big shots were invited. It turned the
Chapter 165 Personal Charm
celebration into a super–grand event.
David wore a dark gray suit, meticulously combed back hair that seemed to have been
dyed, all jet black. He held a tall glass in his hand, filled with amber–colored champagne.
After toasting with Paul, the two people of similar age engaged in a lively conversation.
In the corner, Camila lifted her skirt and pointed to the middle of the room. “Sherry, isn’t
that your aunt?”
Nora was wearing a purple–red dress today, a rather dull color that indicated her
less–than–ideal mood.
“She’s no longer my aunt. She’s now Mrs. Wilson.”
Camila snorted disdainfully. “She may look decent on the surface, but she’s just a
facade!”
A facade?

looks innocently beautiful on the surface, but she’s just a b*tch on the inside.”
Sherry asked, “Did you say that before?”

“Did I? I forgot. Anyway, it’s no wonder Sophia and her mother are so much alike. They
both excel at being mistresses. They’re cut from the same cloth.”
Sherry crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, her gaze fixed on the stage.
David usually pretended to be mature and stable, and he was egoistic. He had no taste
in matching clothes; he wore a deep gray suit matched with a green tie.
“Hey, Sophia didn’t come today?”
“Why would she come?” Sherry chuckled. “She relied on David to join the Ford Group
and forced Malcolm to agree to marry her. Now that David has found another
opportunity, how could she still have the audacity to come?”
Camila was triumphant. “You know, if Sophia knew that she paid for all this money,
would she be furious?!
Chapter 165 Personal Charm
“It’s better not, Sherry said. “She still owes me a lot of things, and it would be too easy
for her to die of anger.”
Just as they were talking, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause in the venue.
It turned out that David was giving a speech. He held the microphone and said some
grandiose words, and everyone below applauded warmly, which surprised Sherry.
Could it be that there are really people who like David?
“You’re overthinking,” Camila said. “Those are the people I hired. They cost a hundred
dollars a day just to clap. You said David loves his reputation the most, so I decided to
give him all the respect he wants! Hey, can I get reimbursed for this money from Mr.
Sniper?”
Sherry laughed. “How much is it? I’ll reimburse you.”
“But you don’t have any money.”
I just got paid, Sherry added. “It’s from Matec’s side.”
Speaking of Mateo, Sherry suddenly remembered that she hadn’t heard from him for a
long time.
Camila followed Maverick every day, so she had a bit more information: “It seems like
he went to Farelo; he left in a hurry and even skipped several car exhibitions. But you
know, Mateo is used to being spontaneous, and everyone is used to it. Anyway, he has
money, so it doesn’t matter if he sells a few less cars.”
။
“Farélo?”
Sherry searched her memory and realized that the only famous car brands in Farelo
were Bugatti and Renault. The brands Mateo used to cooperate with were at the level
of Maserati, so she was a bit surprised that he went to Farelo this time.
“Yeah, it’s Farelo. I heard Maverick mention it briefly; it seems like he went to find
someone, but I’m not sure about the specifics. Hey, has he come back?”
I don’t know. My salary is directly deposited into my account, so I haven’t seen him in
person. Camila waved her hand dismissively Forget it, forget it. Someone like Mateo,
Who is always changing his mind, is not suitable for you. I think you’re better off with
Chapter 165 Personal Charm
Mr. Sniper.”
Sherry chuckled. “How much did Mr. Sniper give you to buy you off?”
6/8
“Let me calculate,” Camila said seriously, counting on her fingers. “Hmm, it’s probably
several million in total. But am I the kind of person who would betray a friend for
money? Clearly not! I just think Mr. Sniper really cares about you. He’s mature, stable,
and a gentleman. Although his identity is unknown at the moment, it doesn’t affect hist
charisma. I have never judged people by their appearance.”
“Really? Didn’t you become a fan of Christopher because of his looks?”
“Looks are just on the surface. Besides, who doesn’t like handsome guys and pretty
ladies? It’s just for eye candy. Let me tell you, during my time at Morgan Entertainment, I
was completely disillusioned! You know that male idol in the period drama? He has bad
breath! Oh my god, it was unbearable! I really feel sorry for the actresses who had to
film kissing scenes with him. Their mental strength is truly extraordinary! And there’s
also that young heartthrob in the web series. He has a terrible temper, even though he’s
still a newcomer and recently became famous. He immediately became arrogant and
started yelling at his assistant. I couldn’t stand it and went up to scold him directly.
Chapter 165 Personal Charm
While Camila was gossiping about celebrity scandals, Sherry caught a glimpse of
Maverick passing by.
She understood what it meant.
Deliberately, she asked, “These celebrities are quite different from their public image,
aren’t they?”
7/8
“That’s true! Christopher is no exception. But deep down, he’s a good person, except for
his weak stomach. He often gives up easily. Apart from that, he has no flaws.”
“What about Mr. Morgan?”
Camila paused for a moment, then whispered mischievously to Sherry, “Let me tell you
the truth. If Maverick were to enter the entertainment industry, he would surpass all
these messy celebrities by a long shot.”
“So… you don’t dislike him?”
Who said that?” Camilla’s face instantly filled with indignation. “He deducts my salary
