Chapter 93
Exhausted and seething from a day’s audition, Xanthea flopped onto her bed and fell asleep almost instantly. When she woke, her first Instinct was to call Isabella
She was done with their six–month bet
If the playing field were level, Xanthea might have a shot at outshining her, but with Orion backing Isabella, she didn’t stand a chance. Instead of wasting time hoping on others, she decided it was better to find another way to gather evidence of the deceitful pair.
Just as she was about to make a call, her phone rang first; it was Isabella.
Why would Isabella call her? To gloat as the victor?
“Hello”
“Xanthea, I really misjudged you! I thought you were just a bit haughty, but it turns out your character is just as rotten!
All those years of dating really taught you something, huh? Be harsh one moment and offer consolation the next; playing the victim, using every trick in the book to bewitch Chairman Lockwood into losing his senses over you. You’re quite the player!
Flirting with Matthew while seducing Chairman Lockwood? How dare you call Matthew a jerk when you’re double–dealing? You two are a perfect match; neither of you has any right to talk! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Congrats on snagging the lead in Realm of Illusions with your sly tricks, but don’t celebrate too soon. I’m about to start filming ‘Comer with Love“, which is one of the year’s most anticipated projects. With
me in it, it’s going to soar. When our shows compete, don’t cry yourself to sleep in the CEO’s arms when my ratings crush you!
I’m calling to tell you, no matter what dirty tricks you use, you’ll never beat mel”
Xanthea hadn’t even spoken a word before Isabella unleashed her tirade and hung up, not giving her any chance to retort
Was she out of her mind?
Staring at her phone, Xanthea tried to call back, only to be declined. She tried a few more times, and then it went straight to voicemail. [I have no clue what you’re on about, or why you’re freaking out, but get some help if you need it. Don’t delay your treatment.]
Sfie texted back, dropping her phone as Isabella’s accusations echoed in her mind. The claims of her playing games with Orion, making him dizzy with desire.
Was Isabella projecting? Even if she wanted to slander someone, why target her? it was clear as day that Orion openly favored and secretly protected Isabella. It really was like blaming on others while herself was to be blamed.
Fuming, Isabella ended the call and then received the message; as she read it, she almost had a meltdown.
“That Xanthea! Not only does she take advantage without gratitude, but now she dares to insult me!”
That day, she had indeed seen Xanthea drenched, clinging to Orion, her arms locked around his neck. That curvaceous form, the intimate pose, her dewy eyes as long as the pitiful expression, she looked just like a little fox seeking comfort from its owner, her allure undeniable. Any man would find her irresistible.
Yet the moment she heard she wouldn’t get the part as “Phoenix“, Xanthea flipped, shattering the bottle that led to her being publicly shamed and kicked out of the “Realm of Illusions” project!
