"Ugh?~~~~"

Sulina pressed herself against Emerald, her waist as supple as a snake.

A brain completely dominated by impulses often has no limits and can say things that one would never normally say.

Emerald took advantage of this, making Sulina say many offensive things in front of Jack's portrait.

Phrases like "Master, break me" are child's play. In the end, under Amelie's guidance, Sulina even joined in mocking Jack as a "small fish," "incompetent," and "good-for-nothing."

When she was sober, Sulina would never have said these things, but unfortunately, she was now completely controlled by the impulses of the primal source of life... She would say anything as long as she could get Amelie to continue to favor her.

Emery was having a great time, but she wasn't completely engrossed in the game; she kept her eyes on the crystal ball next to the portrait.

There really was Jack's soul inside that crystal ball. The crystal ball wasn't actually a crystal ball, but rather a seal on Jack's soul after he was destroyed.

After witnessing firsthand how Sulina was manipulated by Emeryte, the soul within the seal indeed fluctuated violently. In the end, after a burst of energy, it fell into complete silence, leaving only an aura of extreme despair and resentment within the seal.

...It's done!

The physical pleasure and the success of her plan made Ameliete squint her eyes in bliss, and she launched a series of water magic attacks on Sulina.

Ameliette had Haggs hold a funeral for Jack for one of her main purposes: she needed to make a very rare material from Jack's soul.

Unfortunately, Jack's soul wasn't desperate enough when he died; it was just a little short of despair. So, Amelie had to arrange for his soul to watch a play live.

Now that this goal has been achieved, the next one is to move on to the next.

Looking at Sulina, who was still dazed, beneath her, Amelie licked her lips.

Previously, since it was Jack's soul consciousness that was watching, Amelie was still very restrained. She didn't even take off her clothes and basically let Sulina do the work herself. She only moved her fingers and toes slightly at most.

Now it's time to properly enjoy the delicious food and the senior in mourning attire.

As Emeryte began to use her skills to the fullest, Sulina could no longer hold on. Her already blank mind became completely muddled, and her mental defenses collapsed.

After defeating Sulina several times in a row, Emerald seized an opportunity, suddenly pulling Sulina into her arms and kissing her. Her eyes met Sulina's, and her azure pupils glowed with a purple magical light, spinning like mosquito coils.

"Look at me, senior, don't resist... Yes, yes... That's it... Let me see what other secrets you have in your heart..."

After all, Sulina had worked with Old Gate, so she must know some information, which she wouldn't easily tell Amelie, no matter how she was manipulated.

Emerald, on the other hand, was determined to obtain this information. Her previous attempt to have Marcy try to revive the recently deceased was part of her plan to kill Sulina once to obtain information, and then revive her to continue using her as a toy.

Unfortunately, Marcy's Flame of Life wasn't strong enough to revive someone who had just died. Emerald was also reluctant to kill such a good toy as Surina after playing with her a few times, so she had no choice but to settle for a less desirable solution.

The magic that Emeryte is using on Sulina is a mental magic that can read the target's memories without damaging the target's intelligence... provided that the target actively cooperates.

In her normal state, Sulina would definitely not cooperate, even if Emery repeatedly played with her until she passed out in the abandoned underground clubhouse.

But this time it finally worked. Because she had been using special magic to forcefully maintain her sanity throughout the day, Sulina was now completely engulfed by the Sunfire... In addition, with Amelite's superb skills, no matter what Sulina thought, her body was already fully cooperating with Amelite.

Even after being defeated and captured, certain secrets that had been hidden deep in his heart were now being freely read by Emery.

Soon, Emerald perked up as she saw the important information she wanted to see.

When Old Gates was seeking collaboration with Sulina, he showed her a script containing a list of collaborators from the Arts Association, mostly people who opposed Emery's monopoly on film.

Chapter 144 There's always some small fry trying to make me angry.

"Let me see which small fry are trying to go against me."

Having obtained the information she wanted, Emerald lost interest in continuing to play with the mourning-dressed senior. She sat on the limp and exhausted Sulina as a cushion and began to look at the information she had obtained from her consciousness with great interest.

As Old Gate's notebook was opened in Sulina's memory, some names that were not unfamiliar to Emery appeared one by one.

Most of them are people working in industries related to traditional arts. They are affected by the rise of film and want Amelie to share the pie with everyone.

Some people had no personal grudge against Amelie herself, but had conflicts of interest and competition with the Melson family, so they also came to annoy the eldest daughter of the Melson family.

Emery didn't care much about these people. It's normal for people to trip each other up when there's a conflict of interest in the business world. They can still cooperate when there's an opportunity to do so in the future. Of course, the Art Association will not be forgiven.

However, as she flipped to the last page of the notebook and saw a name, Emery's pretty face instantly turned cold, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Heh... this trash, I haven't even had a chance to deal with you yet, and you've already come to cause me trouble? Then I can't let you live."

The name Amelie was even more familiar to her, and she was even closely associated with it; it was Connor Holm, the fiancé her family had arranged for her.

Connor Holm is not a young master of the Holm family, and there is no large family called Holm in the Allen Federation. There is only Holm Town, and everyone in the town has the surname Holm.

Connor came from a commoner background; according to Amelie's previous life on Earth, he was the quintessential "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success despite adversity).

With a bit of talent and relentless hard work, Connor stood out and became the only person in the entire town to be admitted to the Federal Magical Engineering Academy, Sphinx.

After that, Connor worked even harder at the college and tried every means to please the professors. He would go to the professors' homes to help with physical labor and ask them to give him extra tutoring.

Such efforts naturally yielded results. After graduating with excellent grades, Connor established a research group through various loans and sponsorships. Ultimately, he made achievements in materials science and developed an alloy formula that was very suitable for manufacturing high-end magical devices.

The manufacture of magical devices was a field monopolized by Merson. After Connor's work was published, Merson approached him and offered to pay a high price to acquire his patent.

Connor, of course, did not reject the Mearson family, but he didn't want money. Instead, he expressed his desire to marry a legitimate daughter of the Mearson family and become an adopted son-in-law. He was willing to dedicate his talents to serving the Mearson family for the rest of his life, provided he could do so.

Connor's ability to develop a valuable new alloy formula at such a young age earned him the recognition of the Merson family. The Merson family is large, with many legitimate daughters, so using one of their daughters to absorb such a talented individual was worthwhile. This method of recruiting outstanding individuals from commoner backgrounds was common practice among large families for many years, so the Merson family agreed.

However, the timing of Connor's proposal was somewhat awkward.

The current head of the Melson family is Emerald's grandfather, and Emerald's father is her grandfather's eldest son. Emerald is also her father's eldest daughter, which means that she is now the oldest of the third generation of the direct line of the Melson family, and the title of "young lady" is well-deserved.

But this raises a problem: when Connor proposed to marry into Melson's family, Emerald's eldest sister was only 9 years old, and her youngest unmarried or widowed aunt was over 35. Only Emerald was the most suitable age for engagement.

However, Amelie had been hiding her talents all along, and what else could a legitimate daughter of a large family do besides get married and expand her network? So Connor became her fiancé.

However, when the family arranged the engagement between the two, Amelie was still in school, so she had never met her fiancé. The family had only sent her a file about him.

Connor never contacted Emerald proactively, because for him, all he wanted was to marry a legitimate daughter of the Melson family and become her son-in-law; who that daughter was was completely irrelevant.

According to the original plan, Emerald was supposed to get married right after graduation, but she proposed to take on an entrepreneurial trial, which is a long-standing tradition of the Melson family and no one can refuse.

Connor had no reason to express his dissatisfaction and could only wait another three years.

Since she had never been truly harassed by her fiancé Connor, Amelie hadn't paid much attention to him before.

Once the entrepreneurial trial is complete, Emerald can directly refuse the marriage proposal. Her younger sister is also grown up and can marry in her place. At worst, Connor can continue to wait.

However, Connor clearly didn't want to wait any longer. He didn't want Amelie to pass her entrepreneurial trial, so he secretly joined forces with the Art Association to sabotage Amelie's business plan, causing her to fail and marry him.

This touched a nerve with Amérite, who immediately sentenced him to death and began plotting how to get rid of him. She even planned to use her status as his fiancée to seize his inheritance and all his research results.

After sitting on Sulina's lap with her eyes closed for a while, carefully recalling the major events in the game she played in her previous life, Amelie quickly thought of something that she felt was perfect for taking down her lowly fiancé.

Judging by the timeline, that matter should be in a little over two months. After I've finished dealing with this period and gotten my revenge on the Arts Association, I can go then.

"It's just a lucky guess that led to a new alloy formula. What kind of nobodies dare to covet this young lady's secret? They're asking for death!"

Amelie's interest in teasing the senior in mourning clothes was completely ruined by the affair with her petty fiancé, and she no longer wanted to stay at Jack's funeral.

Anyway, this place was just a place of amusement for Emerald, and now that she's lost interest, there's no need for it to continue existing.

So Amelie first had Viliana take the unconscious Sulina home, then notified the hotel to send people to clean up the scene, and also took away the crystal ball next to Jack's portrait.

After returning to her meditation room, Amelie took out the crystal ball again and smashed it without hesitation.

What shattered was only the sacred seal she had previously placed; the contents inside the crystal ball remained intact and, after the final step, were perfectly formed.

It was a rhombus-shaped, dark purple crystal. Now, no trace of Jack's soul or consciousness could be sensed; it was an extremely pure essence of resentment and despair.

This item is of little use to ordinary magicians and sorcerers; absorbing and using it carelessly could easily lead to mental instability and loss of magical control. However, for sorcerers and necromancers, it is a priceless treasure.

Rubbing the crystallized despair and resentment in her hands, which was of excellent quality and color, Amelie's mood finally improved a bit. This thing was the key to her revenge against the Art Association.

"……Why."

As she carefully placed the dark purple crystal into a small box with a sealing effect, Emerald muttered to herself:

"I've been so tolerant, so why do people still keep making me angry? For the sake of my mental health, I guess all you nobodies will have to die..."

. . . . .

For two days after Jack's funeral, Sulina was quite numb, like a broken doll. Apart from obeying the orders of the chair, she did not respond to anything anyone said to her.

Unfortunately, on the night of the funeral, although Su Lina completely lost her mind, she later remembered everything she had done.

She couldn't accept that she had taken the initiative to do those shameless things and said those disgusting words in front of Jack's portrait, and she couldn't accept that Amelie had used magic to read her memories, and that she had lost even her trump card for a final comeback.

This is the only way she can escape reality.

Emerald liked Sulina quite a bit and wanted to keep her as a long-term toy, rather than just playing with her for a while and then throwing her in the trash.

Emerald knew she had bullied Sulina a bit too much on the day of the funeral, and it was time to take care of this toy so it wouldn't really break.

After a beating, there should be a sweet treat; it's time to offer Su Lina some emotional comfort.

That afternoon, Emerald was working while sitting on Sulina in her chair form when there was a knock on the door of the president's office.

Sulina didn't pay much attention at first. After a few days of sitting in the chair, she realized that few outsiders came to Amelie's office. The only person who would knock on the door so formally was her female assistant. She must have come to report on her work again.

However, a familiar voice that soon rang out from outside the door almost made Su Lina lose all her strength.

It was the voice of a timid young girl:

"Is the CEO here? We're here for an interview."

"come in."

Feeling Sulina's body suddenly stiffen, Amelie smiled, gently patting Sulina's head to comfort her, and responding very gently.

"excuse me……"

The office door was pushed open from the outside, and six girls walked in one after another. They were all dressed in very innocent and pretty clothes; they were Su Lina's girlfriends.

They were all quite nervous until Marcy guided them to sit down one by one and gave each of them a glass of warm water, which calmed them down.

Amelie waited patiently until the girls were less nervous before asking them questions like an interviewer.

These are all very normal questions, such as: Where is their hometown? Which school did they graduate from? How many years have they been practicing singing and dancing? What is their best pose? What song are they best at? etc.

Amelie asked questions in a gentle tone and would chat with the girls as they answered, which quickly put them at ease.

After discovering that the president of Blue Star Films wasn't as scary as they had imagined, the girls relaxed and became bolder, chattering incessantly and reverting to their innocent and lively nature.

When discussing her past work experience, Su Lina and the Chenguang Dance Troupe are always mentioned, and Su Lina's recent conflict with Lanxing Film and Television is no secret.

"How is our leader now?"

Finally, one of the girls couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question, even though her companions kept giving her signals to interrupt.

"Oh?"

Emery gave the girl a playful look:

"Are you very worried about Senior Su Lina? She expelled you all for no reason, and then she partnered with some disreputable women, letting them take your places?"

"Well... let's keep things separate."

The girl pouted:

"The fact that our team leader fired us really hurt and angered us. During the days we lived in Galica, we cursed her for being heartless... We gave up many opportunities to switch jobs to follow her, but she dumped us all."

"Haha...you guys have misunderstood your senior!"

Sensing that Sulina's body was beginning to strain as if trying to get up, Amelie quietly increased her strength, suppressing Sulina and preventing her from moving. At the same time, she smiled and told the girls the truth:

"The senior was protecting you... She knows me quite well, she knows that I like to bully pretty girls like you, and she was afraid that if she got into a conflict with me, it would affect you, so she expelled you in advance and pretended to cut ties with you."

"what?"

The girls were stunned. Looking at Emery's gentle eyes, they felt inexplicably afraid, and their legs even went weak.

They instinctively huddled together on the sofa, as if that would give them the courage to face Emerald.

"Don't be afraid... My war with my senior is over now. I've just invited you here for a regular interview. I won't eat you up, don't worry."

Seeing this, Emery comforted the girls and then smiled, saying:

"It's true that I really like pretty girls like you, but I would never force a girl to do something she doesn't want to do. They serve me willingly... Your troupe leader can attest to that. Just ask her later."

"Huh? We're going to see our team leader again? I thought she was... you..."

The girl was even more surprised and stammered, unable to speak.

"You thought I did something to her? Killed her? Do I look that cruel?"

Emerald, however, did not let the girl off easily, and deliberately gave her a look of resentment and disappointment.

"No, no, no... Miss President, you're a good person! You seem so gentle!"

The girl quickly shook her head, then blushed and whispered:

"I just thought that my senior was locked up by you every day... cough cough, in those novels and picture books, isn't that what happens to beautiful women after they're defeated?"
