Chapter 376 - Meeting Emersons First Love (1/2)

For the last 7 months, Avaleigh had been flying to Shanghai every single week to film the variety show that she was a part of. Every now and then, they filmed two episodes in one go and she got a week off, but apart from that, the regular filming had become a part of her routine.

During this time, Danson became really serious about his role and signed on a few other artists. He even wrote up a proposal and suggested that Emerson rent out a building in Central Hong Kong for him to hire people and scout more artists. Seeing his friend's seriousness and analyzing the potential benefits and risks, Emerson took the suggestion and left the agency in Danson's hands. With assistance from Morton's legal firm and Marissa's PR agency, AE Entertainment quickly became a rising newcomer in the entertainment industry and tripled in profits. Naturally, everyone grew curious about its mysterious CEO.

However, Emerson kept his identity a secret as he continued to focus on his family's casino business. He simply started the agency for Avaleigh, but he wasn't actually interested in the entertainment industry.

But, even though the business grew, Emerson did not hire a manager for Avaleigh. He still got Danson to personally support her because he was the only person he could trust to report directly to him. Thus, Danson and Avaleigh grew really close during this time. Every time Avaleigh flew to Shanghai, he would go with her and they would stay in the same apartment together. Of course, Cleo would be there too.

Between filming, the trio had some interesting conversations. Sometimes, the girls would tease Danson about his love life (while being completely unaware that he was in a secret relationship with his stepmother), and sometimes, Danson would tease them about theirs. Naturally, Emerson's first love was mentioned a few times...

Avaleigh was too afraid to ask Emerson directly about his first love. She knew he had loved her for a long time and that he had given up on her because she got married, but she was afraid to hear any more details from his mouth. So, she asked Danson about her instead.

”Her name is Haili Feng, but most people call her Halia. She is the heiress of Fengtai Corporation and she married Emerson's brother, Jackson,” Danson explained.

”Fengtai Corporation?!” Avaleigh exclaimed in shock. That was the baijiu she had been endorsing. From what she knew, Emerson had recommended Fengtai to Danson and that was how Danson signed an endors.e.m.e.nt deal for her. Did he do it to help his first love?

Feeling a little curious but also jealous, she looked up Halia's name online but didn't find many details. Apparently, she was very private and barely appeared in the public eye.

Left with no choice, her only source of information was Danson.

”Is she really beautiful? Is that why Emerson loved her for so many years?” she asked cautiously.

Without holding back, Danson replied, ”She's gorgeous! Probably one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She has long legs, a perfect figure, a sweet smile, alluring eyes... Morton was interested in her at one stage too. Emerson has good taste in women, after all.”

He was indirectly praising Avaleigh, but of course, she did not realize this.

At that moment, Cleo stepped in and heard their conversation. ”Who are you guys talking about?” she asked nosily.

”Haili Feng from Fengtai Corporation,” Danson replied.
