Howard Patton? What was going on?
The agent continued, “Here’s a script. I know you’ll like it. Take a look. If it’s to your liking, you can get the role without an audition.”
Jazmine glanced at the script. It was one she had been eager to work on, though her agent had previously deemed her unqualified. It dawned on her that Howard must have helped her due to her earlier support of Milly.
Jazmine pursed her lips, feeling a mix of emotions. Howard was evidently very fond of Milly.
“Are you alright?” Howard glanced at Milly in the car, a look of concern on his face. Milly met his gaze with a reassuring smile that was both sweet and endearing. “You showed up just in time. I’m okay,” she said softly.
Despite her calm demeanor, Howard remained concerned. He held her close and said, “Tatiana has crossed the line this time. I’m going to make sure she pays for it.”
Milly tried to stop him, but given the harsh realities, she had little sympathy. After holding Milly for a moment, Howard pulled out his phone to make a call.
Meanwhile, Tatiana rushed to the shower as soon as she got home. The thought of having urinated in front of everyone left Tatiana feeling so mortified she wished she could disappear. She saw herself as perfect, after all! After her shower, Tatiana gingerly turned on her phone, dreading the news about the incident. To her relief, it seemed that those involved had been considerate and hadn’t posted anything online.
Just as she was about to set her phone aside, a private message popped up on Twitter.
“I thought you were a goddess. You’re absolutely disgusting! Ugh!” it read.
Her heart sank as she clicked on the link attached to the message. A news account had tweeted, “Tatiana peed in public! Today, after filming the show, Tatiana fell down herself but hurried to accuse Milly of attacking her. But she didn’t expect Milly’s strength would shake her dress. Milly moved the cabinet with just one hand!” The tweet also included pictures of Tatiana with her dress stained yellow by her urine.
“It’s revolting. Tatiana is truly despicable, framing another female star.”
“Hasn’t Tatiana been reprimanded before? Did you all forget so quickly?”
“Look at your so-called goddess peeing in public. What a disgrace!”
“I watched the live broadcast today. Milly looked amazing and graceful. I’m a fan now. Do you still think Tatiana is deserving of Howard? Milly is not only more beautiful but also wouldn’t frame others. Plus, her martial arts skills are top-notch. She’s the one who deserves Howard.”
“I’m totally behind Milly and Howard. She is incredible! I really like her!”
“No! This is ridiculous!” Tatiana clutched her hair in frustration, on the verge of losing it. Who could have posted this?
Tatiana sent her assistant a screenshot of the post along with a message, which read, “Find out who posted this!” Her assistant agreed but felt powerless. With so many people around at the time, including some Tatiana couldn’t afford to offend, she wondered how she was supposed to uncover the culprit. The task seemed nearly impossible.
Tatiana paced the room, tears of rage streaming down her face. The thought of Howard’s reaction only worsened her distress. She needed to confront him. Just as she was about to change, her agent called.
“Tatiana, you don’t need to work for a while. Just take it easy at home,” the agent said coldly.
Tatiana panicked. “Why? I have a schedule to follow.”
“Haven’t you noticed you’ve offended someone powerful?” the agent said, a hint of annoyance in her voice. As Tatiana was her most prominent star, she felt the need to offer some advice. “Tatiana, you’re not the star you once were. Without Corbett’s backing, you can’t afford to step on anyone’s toes. Your arrogance is getting out of hand!”
“Who could I have offended?” Tatiana pondered and asked, “Is it Howard?”
“I’m not sure who exactly. But this is what the higher-ups have decided,” the agent said before hanging up.
Tatiana collapsed onto the floor, her eyes empty and distant. She had been cast out of the entertainment industry. With no opportunities to work, she would soon fade from everyone’s memory. Where would she find a new source of income after leaving the industry?
How could Howard do this to her?
In her anguish, Tatiana buried her face in her hands.
The next day, after reading the online news and seeing the public criticism of Tatiana, Isabella felt that justice had finally caught up with her. But her amusement quickly faded.
While at work, her assistant delivered a package. Isabella opened it to find a set of skincare products. Inside was a handwritten note from Tatiana that said, “Isabella, I wish you happiness every day.”
Isabella was confused. When did she and Tatiana become friends?
“Return it,” Isabella had just finished speaking when Tatiana walked in. She was dressed very simply today. Her gaze moved from the floor slowly and landed on Isabella, whom she looked at apologetically. “Isabella…”
“Tatiana, what games are you playing now?” Isabella rolled her eyes, not hiding her annoyance.
With a guilty look on her face, Tatiana said, “I’m really sorry, Isabella. I caused a lot of trouble for you due to my ignorance. I really want to make it up to you.”
What was wrong with Tatiana? Pondering for a moment, Isabella finally grasped what she was up to. “You and my brother will never be together again.”
“I’m not asking to be with him; I just want to mend our relationship. My friend who just returned from studying abroad gave me a set of skincare products, and they work really well. I specifically bought a new set for you. Give them a try,” Tatiana said sincerely.
Isabella sneered. “If only you were half this serious when I believed you wouldn’t be scolded for not being as good as Milly.”
These words directly hit upon Tatiana’s sore spot. For a split second, Tatiana’s countenance darkened, but quickly turned innocent again. “Yes, I will keep working hard. I should leave you to work now.”
Tatiana walked out quietly, feeling a little embarrassed. Isabella’s assistant hesitated. “Miss Patton, what should we do?”
“Return it,” Isabella coldly said, not batting an eyelid.
Isabella returned to work, after which she headed to Elaine’s for dinner. Only to discover that Elaine had also received a gift. Elaine said to her, “Tatiana got me this gift. She even asked me to go shopping with her tomorrow. How shameless can she get!”
Isabella looked at the familiar gift and cursed in her heart. Tatiana was really shameless, as she didn’t even put any effort into the gifts. Instead, she gave them exactly the same gifts!
“Mom, are you going?”
“I’m not sure yet. Isn’t it obvious that Tatiana just wants to get in our good books because Howard is doing better? How shameless! I’m still angry about all that happened. If I go shopping with her, I’ll get to spend Tatiana’s money. Let’s consider it revenge,” Elaine said.
“Sure.”
So Elaine agreed to go shopping with Tatiana.
Then, she asked Isabella, “Is your brother really with Milly? It has been all over the internet.”
“I don’t think so,” said Isabella. Howard wanted his relationship private, so Isabella lied. “It could be that someone is bothering Milly, and Howard just wants to protect her.”
Elaine had no doubt about it. “Milly is so beautiful! He indeed should protect her!”
Tatiana was so filled with joy on receiving Elaine’s message. She had thought that she would have to impress her for long, but Elaine agreed so soon. She believed that Elaine still preferred her over Milly. Therefore, Tatiana dressed her best and went to the most expensive shopping mall with Elaine to buy whatever she liked to please her.
Tatiana helped carry all the bags, dragging herself behind Elaine. But gradually, Tatiana started feeling tired. Why was Elaine still shopping?
She only had a few million in her bank account, and she had used it up. Meanwhile, Elaine didn’t look like she was stopping anytime soon. Beads of sweat broke out on Tatiana’s forehead.
She didn’t want to give up this opportunity. As long as she could win Elaine’s heart, she didn’t mind spending more. Having tens of millions wouldn’t be a problem for her in the future!
Tatiana secretly asked her father to transfer money to her and got another five million.
However, each of the things Elaine fancied was worth over a million dollars, and Tatiana spent all her money again. She was already feeling the weight of pressure on her, so she asked with a nervous smile, “Why don’t we go eat? You must be tired after walking for so long.”
“I’m not tired.” Elaine glanced at her and said sarcastically, “What’s wrong? You can’t hold on any longer? You don’t have more money? It seems that the Fernandez family is not rich as I thought.”
Tatiana’s face turned pale. “Of course, the Fernandez family is not as wealthy as the Patton family.”
“So, you also know that I was stupid to have arranged a marriage for you and my son, right? It was really a disaster for him to be with someone outside our social class. He deserves someone better,” Elaine sighed.
Tatiana swallowed hard as the words felt like a slap in her face. She had spent so much money on Elaine only to be mocked. However, she didn’t mind enduring it. “It was all my fault, but I know better now, and I know how well Howard treated me before. I’ll make it up to him.”
“How can you make it up to him? You can’t afford these things that I want,” Elaine drew closer and taunted. “Howard will never be with a woman like you again.”
Tatiana’s face darkened. “Elaine, you aren’t deliberately mocking me, are you? Look, I know I was wrong. Please, give me one more chance.”
After spending so much money, she did not deserve this humiliation!
“Ha! Ha!” Elaine laughed in disdain.
Tatiana felt terribly upset. What did Elaine mean? Had Elaine agreed to go shopping with her just to mock her?
“What do you want?” Tatiana asked, her voice barely concealing her frustration.
Elaine’s eyes were hard, her words cold and unwavering. “You will never win him back.”
