“What about your face…”
Lithika understood what Emma was referring to. If she knew so much, why didn’t she get surgery to recover her original appearance?
“The injuries were too harsh; it is impossible for me to recover. If I want to face the world with my mask off, I will need to undergo at least 4 surgeries. And even then, my face will not look natural. There is even a possibility that it will turn out even more frightening. So, I gave up,” Lithika explained. “Over the years, I have gone overseas multiple times. But…”
“I’m sorry, Auntie Bai.”
“I’m fine,” Lithika smiled. But, because of her smile, the skin beneath her mask tightened.
Time had passed and all that remained were scars. But…the hatred and grudge could never be forgotten.
…
The next day, the producers of ‘The Savage Wars’ contacted Zephaniah. They were pleased with Yadanar’s performance at the auditions and wanted to sign her as a villain in their film.
It seemed, the way she hit people with no restraint, left a lasting imp**ssion on the judges. So, the producers immediately contacted Zephaniah and requested for him to bring Yadanar with him to the US.
She didn’t secure any of the main characters, but she got the lead villain role!
Zephaniah looked at Yadanar in the distance. He felt that she was always full of surprises. She often acted casually, but, did that mean she also treated her life in a casual manner?
“Hey Mr An, don’t look at me that way,” Chen Xinyan had brought an old video game console to the apartment and was currently playing on it.
There was plenty of money in front of her to play with, but she instead chose to play with something from the streets that was hard to find.
“Want to take the role of main villain?”
“You know I can’t face the cameras.”
“But, weren’t there a dozen cameras surrounding you during your audition?”
“I was there to hit people. I didn’t care about the audition,” Yadanar rolled her eyes. “Plus, you actually want me to go overseas? All I can say is, ‘Me no lesbian’ and ‘W.C.’. Do you want me to embarrass myself?”
“Stop putting on an act,” Zephaniah obviously saw Yadanar speak English to the judges at the auditions.
Although her pronunciation wasn’t great, it wasn’t impossible to understand.
“Mr An, you don’t need to turn me into an international superstar. I think I am fine right now. I don’t need to change.”
“Don’t you have any ambitions in life?”
“Yes. I am ambitious for excitement!” Yadanar replied. “I like the impossible, so don’t make me act as a villain. I’ve already experienced it and have no interest.”
Zephaniah’s mind was in a mess. He couldn’t understand why he signed Yadanar and caused himself stress.
“What exactly are you living for?”
Yadanar stuck up her middle fi**ger with disdain. In response, Zephaniah was furious. He immediately walked over, grabbed Yadanar’s video game and smashed it on the floor.
“You are not living your life like someone that is alive…What a waste of resources!”
Yadanar: “…”
Zephaniah no longer wanted to talk to Yadanar, so he turned to leave. As he left he said, “Another artist will be moving in in 2 days. I hope you can take care of each other.”
“I’m not used to living with strangers.”
“You don’t have to if you can give me $20 million right now or become of some value.”
Yadanar: “…”
“Since you won’t join ‘The Savage Wars’, I’ll get someone else to do it. You may not want to go, but there are plenty of people that are willing to. You can continue being a mere stunt double.” After speaking, Zephaniah directly left the apartment, leaving Yadanar all alone with the urge to hit someone.
Zephaniah was, after all, a top manager in the past. When going up against a troublemaker like Yadanar, he naturally had his methods. However, this little brat was unaware of her value and consistently wasted her youth. If she had no intention to further pursue this career, why had she been an extra for so many years?
She was a stunt double…
But, did she really like this dangerous and unrewarding job that much?
…
Wren had made a fuss about getting a DNA test. So, early in the morning, Father Roberts dropped by Eric and Emma’s home to get a sample of Eric’s DNA.
Emma was still resting at the time. So, the person to open the door was Lithika. The two had not faced each other on their own yet, but when Father Roberts looked into Lithika’s eyes, he felt her gaze was filled with complex emotions which made one suspicious.
“I saw you yesterday, you are?”
“I am a maid that Emma has hired,” Lithika replied with her head down. After giving her response, she turned around.
“Have we met before?” Father Roberts asked.
“No,” Lithika replied firmly. If possible, she wished that they had never laid eyes on each other in their lives.
“In that case…can you give me a sample of Eric’s DNA?”
“I’m sorry, I can’t,” Lithika answered coldly.
Father Roberts looked at Lithika and assumed that she wanted a bribe, so he pulled out some money and handed it to her, “Is this enough?”
Lithika looked at the money in Father Roberts’s hands. All she felt was ridicule.
Although the incident bet**en them was already many years in the past, this man still had no idea that his real wife was standing right in front of him, while he wreaked havoc on the world with a fraud. He even schemed against his son and daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, Lithika couldn’t help but look at Father Roberts in mockery, “In this modern world, DNA tests can be faked. If you want to truly prove something, you should go to the clinic in person with Mr Roberts. If you go on your own, who would believe it?”
“What do you mean?” Father Roberts suddenly furrowed his brows. “Are you trying to say that my wife would create a fake report to trick everyone?”
“I’m just pointing out the possibilities.”
“You are indeed one of Emma’s people. Your every word is aimed at helping her,” Father Roberts’s tone became unfriendly after realizing that Lithika was bias towards his wife. “Why don’t you remove your face mask? Do you have something to hide like that performer? It’s no surprise. That woman is so evil that the people beside are bound to be of the same caliber!”
“Yes, you’re right, we are all evil. Only your wife is innocent and pure…”
“You and I both know who’s right and who’s wrong,” Father Roberts growled. “Since you are just a maid, then move out of the way. Regardless of everything, I am still Eric’s father.”
Lithika did not say a word. After being married to him for so many years, this was their fate. She did not want to argue with him any further. She simply pointed her chin towards the bodyguards, gesturing for them to make a move. Why were they still standing around at a time like this? What were they waiting for?
The bodyguards understood and immediately stepped forward to restrain Father Roberts. But, before he was kicked out of the villa, Emma’s voice echoed from inside, “Auntie Bai, give it to him.”
“But…”
“Just give it to him,” Emma walked over to the sofa and sat down. Her voice was as calm as ever. “Since father wants it, we can’t refuse him.”
Lithika did not think that Wren’s DNA test would be trustworthy at all.
It seemed, even if she was to reveal her identity right now, Father Roberts would still be on that woman’s side. So, she couldn’t put too much hope in him.
In the end, the DNA test had to be done. Since Father Roberts was persistent and Emma allowed it, Lithika had no choice but to go to the bathroom and fetch Eric’s toothbrush for him.
If Wren wanted to do a DNA test so badly, then go ahead!
Emma watched as Lithika handed the toothbrush to Father Roberts. Only after he left, did she turn to Lithika curiously, “Auntie Bai, the toothbrush you gave wasn’t Eric’s.”
“I gave him my toothbrush,” Lithika replied straightforwardly.
Emma stared at Lithika without a word. But…inside, she couldn’t help praising her for what she had done.
