Chapter 721


    In the buzzing world of the entertainment industry, rumors had long swirled that Ramona''s meteoric rise to stardom wasn''t


    without the help of some shady dealings. But K, with her own history as a fan favorite, never bought into the gossip. She knew


    all too well how vicious whispers could trail a sessful woman.


    However, when she overheard Ramona trash-talking Vivienne, the scion of a respected entertainment dynasty, her blood boiled.


    K''s patience snapped as Ramona''s sneering remarks about the Brooks family hit too close to home. Before she knew it, a


    sharp retortshed out from her lips.


    Ramona''s face cycled through a spectrum of anger, embarrassment, and indignation.


    K, her own temper ring, nearly apologized, but the words froze on her tongue as she stared into Ramona''s twisted


    expression of fury.


    "Oh, you''ve really done it now, K!" Ramona seethed, her delicate features contorting.


    No wonder K and Vivienne were buddies—birds of a feather flock together!


    “You want to nder me? You''re going to pay for that!" Ramona yelled inside when her hand shot out, grabbing K''s wrist and


    attempting to hurl her down the trailer steps.


    "Ramona!" The urgency in her agent''s voice was clear as he raced to intervene.


    With the grace of an actress, Ramona turned on the waterworks for the gathering crowd. "Ms. Brooks, | know you resent me for


    snagging that endorsement from you, but we all have to y the game in this industry. How could you attack me like this?”


    K was incredulous at the audacity of Ramona''s performance, almost impressed despite herself.


    The emotions in her eyes flickered as she stared at Ramona.


    The shooting had just ended, and several staff were walking around the set, ready to leave. Hearing themotion and realizing


    it was a sh between two popr actresses, a crowd quickly formed with onlookers recording the whole thing.


    Ramona''s agent, Jackson, helped her up, and she limped onto him as if her ankle was sprained.


    Understanding the look in her eyes, Jackson immediately said righteously, "Ms. Brooks, Ramona has been giving you the utmost


    respect because you''re a senior in this industry; that''s why she prefers to avoid conflicts with you even if it means she has to give


    up things in the process! And how do you repay her? Not only did you take Ms. Vivienne''s side in oppressing us during the


    banquet, but now you''ve even gone and pushed her down the stairs! You know, even if you want to suck up to Ms. Vivienne, this


    is too much! Everyone knows you''re doing this for the endorsement! You know what? We don''t want it anymore! Take the


    endorsement!"Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Noticing a gathering crowd, with some even livestreaming the situation, Jackson added, "But this isn''t over! Ms. Brooks, we''ll see


    you in court for intentional assault!"


    Ramona suddenly cut in with a gentle and soft tone, "No, Jackson. Don''t say that. Ms. Brooks didn''t mean it. It was my fault for


    stepping up and not expecting the Hawthorn family to actually hire me for this endorsement. Ms. Brooks, don''t you worry, I''ll call


    Mr. Hawthorn right now! I''ll make sure you get what you want."


    The onlookers started murmuring.


    "That''s horrible! To think | actually believed K was a nice person!"


    “How nice can the granddaughter of a murderer be? She''s showing her true colors now, isn''t she?"


    “Opportunities in the entertainment industry are never certain until thest moment. How can K be so shameless to im that


    the endorsement belongs to her?"


    "If she bes the brand ambassador of the Hawthorn Group, I''ll never buy their perfumes again! Who knows what ingredients


    they put inside? They might be lethal for all we know!"


    Hearing those discussions, K’s agent, Xavier, frowned, his sharp gaze scanning past Ramona''s ankle, and was surprised.


    This woman actually deliberately sprained her ankle for real. How could a girl born with a silver spoon have the courage to do


    something like that?


    "You done?" K surveyed the surroundings, the dazzling shlights making it hard to keep her eyes open. She would be a fool


    to still not have grasped the situation by now.


    Clearly, Ramona''s goal today was to ruin her reputation. It was no wonder Ramona kept provoking her.


    However, how did Ramona know about the Brooks family? Didn''t Vivienne prevent the information from leaking? The public


    thought the Brooks family''s demise was because of her grandmother. In fact, even Scott was not considered the main culprit by


    the public.


    Yet, why did Ramona sound like she knew the truth?


    With these thoughts in mind, K tried to extract more out of Ramona. "Ms. Grimshaw, you seem to be very familiar with my


    family, so I''m sure you know that Vivienne is my cousin. You say you snatched my endorsement, right? How about we call


    Vivienne now to see if that''s actually the case?"


    She smirked and added, "Or, Ms. Grimshaw, do you think you''ve charmed her into betraying her own family?"


    Suddenly, it dawned on the crowd as well.


    "Oh, right, I''ve forgotten about that. | think I''ve heard somewhere that K is Ms. Vivienne''s older cousin."


    "What? That''s impossible! Ms. Viviennees from Havenwood! K is a Rivenwood local through and through. How could


    they be rted?”


    "The Hawthorn and the Brooks families share the same ancestors. Plus, | heard Ms. Vivienne''s biological father isn''t actually


    from the Hawthorn family but the imprisoned head of the Brooks family, Scott Brooks."


    "You know, that reminds me of


    something. I''ve read online that

    Hearing the heated spections, Ramona waspletely unfazed. "Ms. Brooks, you''ve fallen in love with Ms. Vivienne''s


    husband. Don''t you think that reason is more than sufficient for her to fire you?"


    K stood her ground, her eyes widening in shock. Her feelings were like a secret garden, meticulously tended and hidden


    behind high walls. So, how on earth did Ramona uncover the truth?


    It was baffling. Even Vivienne, with her eagle eye for detail, hadn''t picked up on the fact that she had fallen for Percival.


    “You...” K’s lips parted as she scrambled for words to counter.


    But Ramona''s gaze was unwavering, a deep pool of certainty that silenced K''s protests before they could even begin.


    Ramona let out a derisiveugh, “K, Ms. Vivienne has been so kind to you. Without her, would you ever have made your


    comeback? And to think, you’ve fallen for her husband.”


    She dabbed at her eyes with a touch


    of theatrics and continued, “I wouldn''t


    have known a thing if Ms. Vivienne


    hadn''t confided in S


    hese today. do Sek it to you. She


    can''t bear to see you anymore, K.


    And I''m telling you all this for your


    own good. | don’t me you if you


    don''t believe me. Direct your anger at


    me if you must. I’m just the
