When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 221


    Chapter 221


    Rose let out a scream, her head turning to the side. A smug Elyse was going to lecture her, but Rose


    shot her a re and swung her hand straight into Elyse’s face. Elyse covered her face as she stared at


    Rose in disbelief. “How dare you?”Rose put her hands on her hips, harrumphing. “What? Do you think I


    won’t retaliate? Are you stupid?” She huddled closer to Elyse and poked her. “Do you know how much


    money I can make? If you were to ruin my face, I would ruin your future. Fortunately, I am a generous


    woman. So, how will you settle this? Compensation or apology?”Already incensed by Rose’s arrogant


    attitude, Elyse couldn’t stand for her further bragging of the resources she had. The resources she


    stole! Livid, she pped Rose once more, but Rose wasn’t one to back down that easily, and they got


    into a tussle. However, Elyse came from money, and she was no match for Rose, who had seen and


    been through society’s darkest side. Eventually, Elyse’s hair became unkempt, her shirt was torn, and


    her face was wed. She was pinned down by Rose like a defeated cat.Not even Elyse’s assistant


    came to help. She was sick and tired of Elyse’s exploitation and constant yelling. Everyone else stood


    by and watched. Elyse looked down on them in the past, after all. Some even stayed far away lest they


    got dragged into the mess. The fight went on until Donia came.A tattered Elyse was dragged back up.


    She felt her scalp roaring in pain, and her face was burning. Her whole body was screaming out, and


    her legs were buckling.Donia shot her a look of disgust before handing Elyse a mirror. “Look at


    yourself.”When she looked into the mirror, all Elyse saw was a mad woman. A madwoman with


    disheveled hair, messy clothes, and a face covered in bruises. Tears were streaming down that


    woman’s cheeks. Is that… me? Aghast, she touched her hair, and the woman in the mirror mimicked


    her movement as well. She then opened her mouth, and that madwoman did the same as well.


    Stricken by grief, Elyse hurled the mirror away and covered her face, shrieking.What happened to me?


    This isn’t me. I’m supposed to be perfect. I’m supposed to have perfect hair and perfect makeup. I’m


    supposed to be impably dressed!“Oh, shut it!” Donia snapped. She wouldn’t even give Elyse a


    moment of her time. Her attention was on Rose. “You injured her face. How do you expect her to work


    tomorrow? What if the investors decide to pull out? Elyse, are you dumb or something?”Elyse looked at


    Rose. Aside from the p on her face, she looked as perfect as ever. Her clothes were straight, and


    her hair was perfect. She looks practically unscathed. This is so unfair!Donia ignored Elyse and quickly


    rubbed some salve on Rose’s cheeks, working through all the necessary actions to make sure she


    could heal faster. Even so, she still thought Rose should be seen by a doctor. And so, she called


    one.Elyse stared dumbly. Donia would only do that for her in the past. But she’s changed. As soon as


    I’ve lost my worth, she’s changed. How could she! How could she abandon me? Elyse hated her


    guts.Rose approached her, and she whispered, “Don’t feel angry. You’ve been in this industry for years.


    You know how they are. They only care for those who have value to them. Anyone who’s useless is


    nothing to them.”Elyse clenched her fists and red at Rose, but Rose chuckled and turned the other


    cheek, challenging Elyse to p her. Even though she was overwhelmed by anger, she still couldn’t do


    anything to Rose. Donia said she would press charges if Rose were hurt. If that happens, I’m done for.


    Eventually, Elyse pulled her hand back. With all the strength she could muster, she left thepany


    without shedding a tear. However, the moment she got into the car, she burst into tears, agonizing over


    the unfair treatment she was given. Eventually, she got exhausted from crying, and she slowly stopped.


    Then, she pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears away. When she raised her head, she saw her assistant


    staring at her, and she frowned.She was just going to yell at her assistant, berating her for noting


    tofort her, but her assistant said, “Donia called. Since you don’t have any projects, this car is


    wasted on you. So, they’re taking it back tomorrow.”Infuriated once more, Elyse raised her hand and


    was about to p her assistant.The assistant added, “Don’t me this on me. Donia said that. If you


    want the car back, tell her.”Even the assistant is mocking me! Elyse’s face contorted with rage, but she


    didn’t p her assistant. Instead, she punched the car. Dammit. Everyone’sing at me just because


    of one canceled marriage. I’ll show them. I’ll show them all. A long whileter, she told her assistant an


    address. “Drive.”She was heading to an investor’s home. He invested in five movies and asked her to


    y the leading role in three. She tried her best to doll herself up, but the scars couldn’t be hidden, so


    she wore a pair of sunsses and a mask. Fortunately, it was the pandemic season, so nobody would


    think she was disrespectful for wearing a mask.In the past, Donia would arrange everything for Elyse,


    and the assistant would only have to take her to the meetup spot. Though, she now had to make the


    calls and do everything herself. Just for this meeting alone, Elyse had to make at least 20 calls. After


    much bureaucracy, she had to tell them Leo was her friend before the investor would see her. It was


    infuriating, but she sucked it up. She needed the movies. She needed to return to the top.The investor


    was a Gingham local. He was dressed casually and was having tea in a tea shop.Elyse approached


    him. With a silvery voice, she called out, “Mr. Oates.”John Oates looked at her, frowning when he


    noticed the mask, yet he said nothing about it. “Here. Have some tea.”She took the seat across from


    him and ced her hands on the coffee table. “Mr. Oates, about the movies… You know how serious I


    am about acting, and I’m more experienced than Rose. And I’m famous, too. If I can get the leading


    role once more, I promise I can do better than Rose ever can.”John ogled her and popped a petite pipe


    into his mouth. Then, he sucked on it twice and puffed a ring of smoke out. “Of course, I can give ya


    the show, Miss yton. But y’know, Rose sacrificed somethin’, so ya gotta sacrifice somethin’ too.


    Y’know what I’m saying?”Um, I don’t know what you’re saying. Elyse looked at him, and John winked


    flirtatiously as he pointed at her chest. She quickly covered it up, but he said he was just going to kiss


    her.The moment he touched her, Elyse tensed up and was going to give John one tight p, but she


    put her hand down right away. This is myst chance. If I don’t give him what he wants, I’m done


    for.Remember what Donia did to you. Remember what Rose did to you. You’ve got to be strong. Get


    famous, and then get back at them! Her arms hung limply by her side, and she closed her eyes,


    holding her disgust down as John did whatever he wanted with her.He groped her chest and moved his


    perverted hand up to her mask. However, when he took it off, he balked. “Da hell is this?!”N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
