The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 458: You Sure Have the Nerve to Make Things Up
Recently, there’s a rumor going around Starlight Entertainment that President Willow is pursuing Angela Thornton!
It was already shocking enough fabricating rumors about President Sterling, and now bringing President Willow into it?
Anyway, when Mary heard it from other agents, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Mary just thought, when Henry Willow opens his mouth, you can tell he’s been around the block.
The kind of person who has seen much in life would have to be out of their mind to fancy Angela Thornton.
The key point is that Angela Thornton seems to have had her head filled with countless Mary Sue domineering CEO stories recently, and her tales are getting more and more exaggerated—like President Sterling likes her, President Sterling’s assistant is pursuing her, and Henry Willow even gave her a necklace worth five million to show his affection... and these three men even fought over her, with Ethan resigning from Sterling Group for her.
Conrad Sterling and Henry Willow, those good brothers, have turned against each other, fighting over her.
Initially, some people believed what Angela Thornton said.
But as her stories became more outrageous, even those artists who originally believed she was Conrad Sterling’s unpublicized girlfriend started having doubts.
Yet Angela Thornton still didn’t seem to know when to stop, as she had previously fabricated her relationship with Conrad Sterling, gaining special treatment within the company.
Not to mention now, with Henry Willow legitimately pursuing her, she must feel on top of the world.
Angela Thornton found out that Henry Willow is the Willow Family’s less-favored young master, but at least he holds some power at Starlight Entertainment, so she started planning to extract benefits.
Henry Willow received a message from Angela Thornton; she demanded A-list resources from the company. Currently, the most important resource is an adapted big IP fantasy drama series "Unrivaled," and Angela Thornton wants Henry Willow to replace Anna Thornton so she could be the lead actress.
She also wants Anna Thornton’s studio, wants Henry Willow to assign the company’s best agent for her, along with seven or eight assistants.
Talk about having a big face!
Henry Willow’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he deleted the message without replying.
A guy like Henry Willow, who is kind to almost all women, generally considers them his potential girlfriends, and rarely with malice.
Especially beauties, he only wants to cherish them.
But someone like Angela Thornton, who is so self-important and both overbearing and stupid, really doesn’t leave him with any inclination to cherish her.
He was just helping Young Master Sterling with a small favor, and now it was almost time to reel in the net.
...
Vivian Neal was getting her hair done in the dressing room and couldn’t help but smile lightly as she listened to the people around her praising Angela Thornton, saying, "Heh..."
Her laughter caught Angela Thornton’s attention: "Hey, what are you laughing at?"
Angela Thornton glared at Vivian with a warning look, but Vivian wasn’t bothered: "Isn’t it obvious? I’m laughing at you!"
Angela Thornton’s face was still a bit swollen, and upon hearing Vivian’s words, she quickly covered her face with both hands.
"No need to cover up, though you’re indeed quite ugly, but I’m not someone who judges by looks. I’m laughing at you because you’re stupid!"
"You... you dare call me ugly?!!"
No wonder people say Angela Thornton’s IQ is worrying. Vivian clearly laughed at her stupidity, but Angela only fixated on the word "ugly."
It must have hit Angela Thornton’s sore spot, making her so angry that she jumped up: "You lowly woman acting in those third-rate movies, what makes you think you have the right to be in the same dressing room with me? Get out of here, now!"
Hearing this, Vivian crossed her arms, not caring a bit: "Why should I leave? Didn’t you say both President Sterling and President Willow are pursuing you? If you’re so capable, why crowd with us lowly people in the same dressing room?"
Others: "..." She only called you lowly, why include us?
But no one dared to speak up, as everyone knew that Vivian Neal never lost when it came to arguing in the company.
She usually minded her own business, so it was unexpected she suddenly went off on Angela Thornton today.
"I’ll do my makeup wherever I want, what’s it to you?" Of course, Angela Thornton didn’t want to move?
Of course, she wants to!
Having visited Anna Thornton’s studio, she had been dreaming about it ever since.
Yet Henry Willow hadn’t replied to her message!
The next time she sees Henry Willow, Angela Thornton not only wants Anna Thornton’s studio but also wants him to terminate the contract with that annoying Vivian Neal.
And if the next encounter is with President Sterling, Angela Thornton wants him to ban Vivian Neal from the entire industry.
Angela Thornton has long been fed up with this woman, and aside from Anna Thornton, Vivian is the only female artist in the company who hasn’t tried to curry favor with her.
Furthermore, who knows what’s up with her eyes, they radiate an alluring yet arrogant demeanor, and whenever her gaze sweeps over, Angela Thornton always has the illusion of being looked down on.
It’s not an illusion, Vivian Neal is indeed looking down on her!
"Why should I care about you? I’m not one of those bootlickers who are full and bored, blindly surrounding you!" Vivian’s words insulted everyone present except herself. "I just find it odd, the way you talk about yourself as if you’re some femme fatale. If so many men like you, how come I haven’t seen a single one?"
"The people pursuing me are of high status, not something you can meet just because you want to." Angela Thornton sneered coldly.
"Even if President Sterling is of high status and doesn’t like to make personal affairs public, I still know a thing or two about President Willow. Every time he’s in love, it’s open and aboveboard; only when it comes to pursuing you, he hides it. I think you shouldn’t be so pleased about it; maybe you should reflect on if you even deserve it."
"You..."
"I really admire your courage. The probability of President Sterling and President Willow both losing their minds and fancying you should be less than a planet colliding with the Earth. And your story about their friendship breaking up over you? Ha, you really dare to make things up!"
Vivian swept a glance at the others present who were about to interject, "You really dare to believe it!"
"Vivian, why do you have to drag us into your backhanded comments?" Someone felt wronged.
"I can’t stand your stupidity! From beginning to end, it has only ever been a drama directed and performed by Angela Thornton alone. Do you see her dare perform such a dance in front of President Willow? Have you ever seen President Sterling pay her any attention? And this rumor that even President Sterling’s assistant is infatuated with her—have you seen anyone sending her flowers, picking her up for work?"
"This..."
Some of the points Vivian raised began to make people doubt.
Angela Thornton parachuted into Starlight Entertainment, with President Sterling’s personal assistant handling the formalities for her, and some mid-level company staff indeed treating her differently, so everyone had previously assumed she had connections.
But recently, Angela Thornton’s words were becoming increasingly unreliable.
She repeatedly hinted at yet denied her relationship with Conrad Sterling, making people confused about what was true and what was false.
She also claimed that Ethan had fallen for her, President Willow liked her too, and the three men were fighting fiercely over her... it was just puzzling!
After all, Angela Thornton’s looks can only be considered average among ordinary people. Her entry into the entertainment industry was already strange enough.
Compared to others in a company full of beauties, she’s even more ordinary.
She has no real talent or work, perfectly embodying the phrase "idle away one’s time" since joining the company.
Even a woman like Vivian Neal, who has a history, undeniably has a great figure and a seductive charm. To this day, she still receives a bouquet of roses from male fans daily, begging her to return.
And don’t even mention a top beauty like Anna Thornton, those rich second-generation heirs constantly paraded their sports cars downstairs for her.
If one man is blind, it’s unusual!
There’s no reason for three men all to be blind, is there?
What right does Angela Thornton, an utterly unremarkable woman, have to attract three excellent men?
Some self-important female artists now secretly roll their eyes behind Angela Thornton’s back.
Thinking if President Sterling and President Willow could fancy someone like her, why wouldn’t they notice them too?
Only today, for the first time, was this matter brought to light by Vivian Neal.
Suddenly, everyone’s suspicions deepened!
"Vivian, you say! Are you operating under Anna Thornton’s orders? I know that now President Sterling likes me, and President Willow treats me well, so she’s jealous of me, and that’s why she sent you to trouble me!" Angela Thornton almost accused Anna Thornton of being jealous of her.
Now being pursued by Conrad Sterling and Henry Willow simultaneously, what woman in the world wouldn’t be jealous of her?
"Stop flattering yourself, Anna Thornton never even considered you. President Sterling and President Willow don’t even know who you are! With your little tricks, you might fool some ignorant fools who have never seen the world!"
"You..."
"What ’you’ now? If you’re really so capable, call those men pursuing you over! After all, I’m just a bit player. Have them fire me! Give yourself some satisfaction! I’m stating it right now, if I’m still in the company tomorrow, it proves you’re nothing, and you’re lying!"
In terms of arguing, Angela Thornton was indeed no match for Vivian Neal.
She looked behind herself, seeking support.
But after Vivian’s remarks, no one dared to speak rashly anymore.
Because no one wanted to rush to claim the title of ’ignorant fool’.
They also wanted to see Vivian Neal and Angela Thornton go head to head and find out who was really lying in the end.
Someone even chimed in: "Angela, why not make a call and have President Sterling and President Willow come over?"
"Last time you said President Sterling was busy, maybe this time you can call one of them here!"
"Exactly! No matter how you and Vivian argue, you can’t win. Might as well call someone to help you handle it."
