Manny kept sneaking nces at Crystal. He saw her pulled out a makeup wipe, doused it with makeup


    remover, and began to rub it across her face.


    Almost instantly, Crystal yelped in pain, covering her eyes.


    Quintessa smirked. How amateurish her prank was! Originally, she thought about sticking some


    needles into Crystal''s chair. But then, she thought better of it. After all, their doing to her was


    amateurish. There was no need to escte things to the point of killing them. Otherwise, she would


    have been caught a long time ago.


    "My eyes, my eyes." Crystal''s cries of agony echoed through the room.


    The other actresses surrounded her. "What''s wrong, Crystal?"


    Crystal, barely able to open her eyes due to the stinging from the pepper spray, cried out, "The makeup


    remover, it hurts so much, it''s burning, there''s something wrong with it."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    One of the actresses quickly grabbed the bottle to sniff it. "Someone mixed pepper spray in here."


    Everyone turned to look at Quintessa simultaneously. In their minds, she was the only one capable of


    such a deed.


    Crystal''s cries of pain paused for a moment but then resumed even louder.


    "My eyes, will I go blind? My eyes, please, someone help me. Please."


    The room filled with her heart-wrenching sobs, evoking sympathy among the others.


    The others tried tofort her, suggesting, "Call 911, and let''s try to rinse her eyes with water in the


    meantime."


    Quintessa, with a hint of a smile, gestured for Manny to help her up.


    "Pack up, Manny. I will take you for barbecue tonight," she said.


    "Sure thing!" Manny replied.


    As they were about to leave, Crystal''s cries became even louder. "What if can''t see anymore? I. haven''t


    been filial to my parents, and I still have dreams to fulfill. What


    should I do?"


    Crystal''s crying was truly pitiful, and someone finally called out to Quintessa.


    "Quintessa, wait. Are you just going to leave like this?"


    Quintessa stopped and nced back. The actress who spoke up was visibly shaken, her face red,


    clearly afraid of Quintessa but determined to stand up for Crystal. Quintessa nodded. This kid had


    some courage.


    Quintessa nced disdainfully at Crystal. "Why should I stay?"


    "Aren''t you going to exin yourself about this?"


    "How amusing. Why should I exin?"


    "Whether it was you or not, it wouldn''t hurt to prove your innocence."


    Quintessa chuckled. "With so many people here, are you singling me out? If you''re that convinced, go


    ahead and call the cops."


    Quintessa''s smirk widened. "If it


    wasn''t me, don''t need to exin.


    The innocent


    The innocent will be cleared on


    their


    own. If it was me, then I have even less reason to exin. I''d be d


    she''s suffering. With her like this, I feel great. Who would bother with her?"


    With that taunting remark, Quintessa walked away with Manny.


    It was just a small lesson for Crystal. Hopefully, she''d learn to behave from now on.


    As they stepped out of the set,


    Manny''s eyes gleamed. "Hey, I heard


    about this new barbecue ce They''re super delicious, especially their grilled seafood, it''s amazing."


    "Alright, let''s go there."


    As they were talking, a Ferrari suddenly sped out, stopping mere inches from them, almost hitting


    them.
