“Emma, can you tell me how I can help Zephaniah?”
“You don’t need to do anything. Just wait patiently and that’s already enough,” Emma replied. “Don’t give Annie the chance to attack you nor Zephaniah again.”
“Am I supposed to do nothing then?”
“At a time like this, there’s nothing you can do.”
Emma was very straightforward. Her words were like a warning directed at Yadanar’s selfishness. If she continued being the way she was, then not only Zephaniah, but many others would also suffer.
“OK then, I won’t do anything,” Yadanar said before she hung up the phone. Afterwards, she had the urge to give Zephaniah a phone call, but she quickly realized, she would be of no help.
So, she entered the living room and analyzed the space instead. According to the angle from which the scandalous photo was taken, the culprit was definitely standing in the doorway of Annie’s room.
Yadanar held back her anger and knocked calmly on Annie’s bedroom door.
Behind the door, Annie was holding onto her phone. As soon as the door opened, she handed the phone to Yadanar, “The situation has escalated. Director Ferdinand has announced that he has canceled Mr. An’s contract for ‘Concubine Emma’. According to the current rate of progression, I’m afraid Mr. An will go through a long period with no work.”
After looking at the latest news article, Yadanar handed the phone back to Annie and pulled out her own phone to interrogate her, “Only from this spot and from this height could someone manage to capture this logo in this way. Am I right?”
Annie looked at the comparison photo that Yadanar took from her doorway and fell silent.
“Even if you don’t admit to it, I can find more evidence. You can stop acting, Annie.”
Annie lifted her head; her eyes were red like she was trying to endure something. But, a moment later…
…she nodded her head and laughed. Her laugh was extremely arrogant, “So what if it was me? Does it still matter who exposed everything?”
“Perhaps, you can hold a p**ss conference and tell everyone that I planned everything. Do you think anyone would believe you?”
Yadanar did not say a word. She simply threw a punch directly into Annie’s face and knocked her onto the floor, “I know you hate me, but why would you treat Zephaniah this way?”
Annie lay on the floor r*bbing her injured face and sneered, “Don’t you feel that he is biased towards you?”
“No, I don’t!”
“That’s because you are stupid. Couldn’t you tell that Zephaniah brought me here just to provoke you into working harder? Previously, when ‘The Savage Wars’ was selecting their cast, you rejected the contract and Zephaniah promised that he’d give the role to me. But, what happened in the end? He didn’t even mention my name to the director. He was simply waiting for you to change your mind.”
“All that he had said about equal chances and allowing the director to decide was r*bbish. The opportunity was always yours and I never stood a chance!”
“Do you know how bad this has hurt me?”
“As a university student, I thought I had made progress and was about to debut. But, what happened in the end?”
“Even though he tried to make up for it afterwards, he ignored the fact that I wanted to be treated equally and that I wanted to develop my career overseas. As soon as he found out that I had failed my audition, he didn’t even attempt to fight for the opportunity. You still don’t think he’s biased?”
After listening to Annie’s argument, Yadanar was dumbfounded. She had no idea what Zephaniah had done for her without her knowing.
“When you said that your game console needed fixing, he immediately took it home and fixed it himself. On the surface, you appear to be at a disadvantage, but in reality, you are actually the person that he favors.”
“So, why do you think I am treating Zephaniah this way? It’s because he asked for it!”
Yadanar knelt on the floor and grabbed Annie’s shirt. She then raised her fist, ready to throw another punch. Annie did not intend to dodge. She simply stretched her neck, ready to accept the blow. However, at this time, the door to the apartment suddenly flew open…
5-6 men rushed in. As soon as they approached Yadanar they immediately started beating her painfully.
Yadanar couldn’t possibly beat 5 professional bodyguards, so she huddled up on the floor without moving…
The lead bodyguard helped Annie off the floor and asked, “Are you fine?”
“Grab her!” Annie said with no time to care about her pain.
The bodyguards did as instructed and grabbed onto Yadanar. As soon as Annie saw this, she quickly walked over and threw a punch at her, “This punch is payback.” She then threw another punch, “This punch is a bonus.”
Annie then stood up straight and dusted off her body. Her exp**ssion quickly changed as she looked down arrogantly at Yadanar.
“Did you think that this is over? Actually, I was the person that stole your role in ‘The Savage Wars’. I would have never been satisfied until you were replaced. Didn’t you say that you wanted to be a stunt double? And weren’t you a reckless person? From now on, you can be as reckless as you want…”
“The good show is yet to come! This time, without Zephaniah, I wonder who would still be available to save you.”
After speaking, Annie turned around to leave. As she left, she said to the lead bodyguard, “Teach her an industry-style lesson.”
“Yes, watch your step, Ms. An.”
The scene that followed was something that Yadanar wanted to erase from her memory.
The so-called ‘industry-style lesson’, meant being surrounded by the group of men as they urinated all over her.
The revolting smell spread from the top of her head to the rest of her body.
The thought of it filled Yadanar with a murderous intent. She was willing to sacrifice herself in order to kill Annie.
Although no one could prove that Annie had started the scandal, everyone knew, without a doubt, it was her.
Emma asked Lisa to investigate the matter through her small channels of contact. As a result, Lisa came back to her with news that Annie had been overly intimate with a new entertainment agency boss. In fact, they were spotted booking a hotel room together!
“I asked a friend to try and get information from this President Wang. Give me one night and I’ll get back to you,” Lisa updated.
“When someone that is newly rich decides to open an agency, they only have one motive: they’re trying to go to any lengths to sleep with as many greedy new stars as possible. They can gain both sex and profits, you know what I mean?” Emma said with a deeper meaning. “Deal with this quietly. The best outcome is for you to get some evidence in your hands.”
“Understood,” Lisa replied; the excitement in her voice was hard to hide. It had been a long time since she had exercised her abilities in the entertainment industry.
When it came to someone like Director Wang, Emma did not need to make a personal appearance. But, she could definitely meet with the director of ‘The Savage Wars’.
“Can you help me make an appointment with the American director? I have a few questions to ask him.”
“That’s fine,” Lisa agreed.
After going through so many ups and downs with Emma, she had already become accustomed to her methods. Whenever Emma made an appearance, the opponent was down on their luck.
…
Zephaniah did not have a team of people that he worked with, so the exposure this time pointed out negative points about him, yet he had no one to help him with PR.
In regards to Director Ferdinand, Zephaniah had already tried to explain himself to him. But, the director clearly told him that if he didn’t find a way to clean up this scandal, then he should just give up his role as assistant director. Zephaniah was a man of dignity, so he promised the director that he’d give him a satisfactory outcome.
When he thought about the scandal, he had to admit that he wasn’t cautious enough. At a time like this, he should have known that one wrong move could completely destroy him, yet he spoiled Yadanar and made a big mistake.
Thinking of Yadanar, he remembered that he had not explained the situation clearly to her that morning. According to her temper, what troubles could she have possibly created today?
Because he was worried, Zephaniah decided not to head straight home. Instead, he headed to Yadanar’s apartment. But, as he stepped out of the lift, he noticed that the front door was left unlocked.
Zephaniah immediately opened the door and rushed in. Inside, he found Yadanar lying on the floor covered in a smelly liquid twitching in anger.
Zephaniah was shocked as he ran over to help her off the floor. But, Yadanar suddenly screamed, “I am going to kill Annie!”
“What happened?” Zephaniah asked as he noticed there were obvious injuries on her face and neck.
Yadanar loosened herself from Zephaniah and pushed him away, “It’s none of your business! Just tell me where Annie is!”
The answer to Zephaniah’s question was clear. He could roughly guess what had happened while he was gone.
Seeing that Yadanar looked ready to destroy everything in her path, Zephaniah wondered what kind of suffering she had gone through to get to this point.
As he looked at the floor, he realized the liquid stunk of urine…
