The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 451: She Really Can’t Be Called a White Lotus
The next day—
Anna had just arrived at the company when someone rushed into her studio.
"Anna, you’re just too vicious!"
The girl who spoke was one of the ones Anna saw potential in and wanted to bring into the production crew, and was also the one who didn’t come yesterday, whom Anna caught having tea with her friends.
Right off the bat, she said that, leaving Anna bewildered: "What? Did I cheat you out of money?"
"Stop playing dumb! Did you mix something into Angela’s foundation that caused her to have an allergic reaction all over her face?"
Anna was still unclear about what was happening when she heard the other person continue with a self-questioning accusation: "It must have been you! Yesterday, I saw you go to the communal makeup room against all odds, and you suspiciously stood in front of Angela’s spot for a long time, messing with her stuff!"
Anna: "..."
This is exactly the so-called ’sitting at home, and a pot falls from the sky,’ right?
Anna then noticed, that along with the small artist who barged in, Angela was also present, her face tightly wrapped and wearing sunglasses.
"She had an allergic reaction on her face, and it must be related to me?" Anna retorted.
"Stop trying to deny it!" Angela threw a bottle of foundation in front of Anna, angrily ripped the scarf off her face, "They say yesterday you were the only one who touched my dressing table. After using the stuff, my face itched horribly. Later, it was tested and found that the foundation was mixed with coconut oil. Only you know that I’m allergic to coconut oil, who else but you would have tampered with it?"
Upon seeing Angela unmask her face, swollen like a pig’s head, Anna thought she seemed rather ruthless to herself.
With their argument, many people crowded into Anna’s studio.
Some sided with Angela, while others gathered at the doorway just to watch the drama unfold.
Leading the charge for Angela was the first small artist who had entered, looking at Anna with reproach and vigilance, yet feeling fortunate!
Fortunate that she went for tea with her good sisters after getting a message from Anna’s agent yesterday, and didn’t come to the appointment.
With Anna being such a vicious woman who even plots against her own cousin, how could she sincerely promote newcomers?
She must have been using the lure of entering the production crew to eliminate rivals.
When in life does luck drop a pie from the sky? The top star of the company must be busy consolidating her position and suppressing emergent newcomers, how could she personally find opportunities for them?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt skipping Anna’s invitation yesterday was sensible, otherwise, it might have been her with a ruined face today!
"Anna’s cousin, you don’t want me to talk about our relationship, so I walk around your agent. Why do you hate me so much? I haven’t competed with you for resources. I’ve even given you the top star position in the company. I’m not competing anymore, why do you have to target me?"
Anna had never seen someone describe their ’arrogance, incompetence, and idleness’ so elegantly before.
This was definitely Angela’s best acting performance ever!
Were she able to maintain this level of acting, Anna might even provide her with an opportunity to audition in the same group.
To play a malicious brainless supporting female role, which fits perfectly.
However, it’s quite infuriating too!
Even Mary was irritated by her: "What are you doing making a scene in our studio? Do you have proof that Anna deliberately caused your face to rot? If you do, report it to President Willow, and see how the company handles it."
"President Willow has gone to the southern talent show site and won’t be back for a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Mary understood why Angela was making a fuss today.
She was taking advantage of Henry Willow’s absence, thinking she could stir things up without facing repercussions, right?
Ugh, so frustrating!
Yesterday, hearing most people mistake Angela for being President Sterling’s girlfriend, Mary was filled with rage.
But Anna is currently at a career high point, and can’t publicly reveal her relationship with President Sterling.
She can only watch as someone flaunts around, exploiting President Sterling’s reputation to exercise power, bullying Anna, and that’s what’s making her angrier.
Mary was about to implode with anger, while conversely, Anna, the person involved, remained calm.
Faced with the accusations brought by Angela’s group, Anna acted as if she didn’t hear them and leisurely found her charging cable to charge her phone.
Conrad Sterling was away on a business trip today too, and he had promised to video call her once his plane landed over there, repeatedly urging Anna to keep her phone available.
Ugh, such a cold CEO is becoming increasingly clingy lately.
"Anna, don’t think that acting unbothered will make things truly okay."
Seeing themselves ignored by Anna, the ones trying to provoke her increased their outrage by tenfold.
"You have to apologize to Angela! Or else, Angela will tell President Sterling, and you’re done for!"
"Then let her tell him, who’ll be finished isn’t certain!" Mary retaliated with her hands on her hips, "Each of you knows who secretly did something disgraceful."
Mary’s words hinted at something, causing Angela’s heart to flutter with anxiety.
But she reconsidered and remembered that it’s been a while since Conrad Sterling accompanied Anna back to Veridia.
Plus, that day when President Sterling suddenly showed up at the company to take Anna away, the paparazzi clearly did snap photos, but there hasn’t been a peep on the internet about it.
Angela suspected that President Sterling wasn’t genuinely interested in Anna, maybe just toying with her, not publicizing their relationship to leave room for a breakup later.
As for Anna, of course, she wanted to go public. She’s so adept at publicity that she can openly discuss her scandal of having a child out of wedlock in public; climbing the protective mountain of Conrad Sterling, wouldn’t she hype it to the sky?
Unfortunately, the male side refuses to make it public, so she has to keep her mouth shut, even if reluctantly, to hold tight to this money tree.
In Angela’s imagination, she cast Anna as a character Conrad Sterling could abandon at any moment, and as a sycophant.
While Angela herself, using the guise of being President Sterling’s undisclosed girlfriend to enjoy privileges at the company, was oblivious to being this adored figure among a bunch of simple-minded artists. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Angela even thought that the reason she hadn’t been exposed must be due to secret indulgence from President Sterling and President Willow.
Hmm, last time President Sterling didn’t recognize her, it must have been faked.
Or maybe, it was Anna speaking ill of her in front of President Sterling!
Angela certainly couldn’t be considered a naive actress; her self-deluded simple mind hadn’t analyzed a single matter correctly.
Yet, inexplicably emboldened herself with false courage, she summoned her confidence: "Are you sure you don’t want to apologize to me? I advise you not to force me to call Conrad. When President Sterling arrives, neither you nor your agent will be able to stay in the company!"
Mary: "???"
Anna: "???"
