    Chapter 2159


    Giselle’s eyes were misted with tears, just enough to tug at every onlooker’s heartstrings.


    Ivy, however, was unimpressed, finding the whole disy bitterly ironic.


    “Look at Ivy, can you believe it? Even a star like Giselle can be blind to thepany she keeps! Who


    would’ve thought she’d be friends with someone like that?”


    There was a collective sigh of sympathy from the bystanders, but Ivy only felt annoyed at the charade.


    “Brava, Giselle,” Ivy said with a sardonic smile, her gaze piercing through Giselle, who instinctively


    averted her eyes. “Always on cue, whether on camera or in real life. What a performance!”


    Giselle couldn’t bear to meet Ivy’s gaze, her guilt making her fearful of revealing her inner


    turmoil.


    “Ivy, I know you’re upset. You need to calm down. Don’t say things you’ll regret. You don’t want


    everyone to be truly disappointed in you, do you? If you apologize sincerely, there might still be a


    chance to make things right.”

    Ivy was done ying games with this phony. “What chance to make things right? Why should I


    apologize for something I haven’t done? Drop the act, Giselle. We were never friends-that’s just


    something you keep pretending to be.


    I’ve kept quiet out of apathy, not agreement. You go on and believe your own lies. I was


    I too busy memorizing lines as a rookie to waste my time on you. But I guess I underestimated your


    capacity for deceit. Sorry, I don’t have your acting chops-I’m not staying for this drama.”


    Ivy didn’t give Giselle an inch, which only soured the crew’s opinion of her further. Couldn’t she see the


    reality of the situation?


    It wasn’t about whether or not she and Giselle were friends. She had messed up and owed an apology


    to the injured girl and everyone else involved.


    “Ivy, you’re a real piece of work, you know that? You hurt Diana, and what does that have to do with


    being friends with Giselle? And talk about pride! If I were you, I’d count my lucky stars for the chance to


    rub shoulders with someone like her!”


    The crowd couldn’t tolerate Ivy’s ingratitude. A neer like her should be thrilled to be associated


    with a super star like Giselle.


    Giselle waved a hand and dabbed at non-existent tears.


    “I know Ivy is just being protective, trying to shield me from the bacsh. Don’t read too much into it,


    folks. The bond between us isn’t something that can be exined away so easily.


    Ivy will surely apologize for her wrongs in due time. Let’s give her some time, shall we?”


    But Ivy’s misdeeds had been caught on camera. The crew’s work hade to a halt, stirring


    discontent among them.


    Giselle’s defense only made them more convinced that Ivy was not only guilty but also ungrateful.


    The more Giselle sang Ivy’s past praises, the more everyone believed she had been gaslighted by her.


    “Giselle, you deserve better friends. You shouldn’t waste your time on someone like Ivy.”


    People tried to reason with Giselle, telling her that for someone of her caliber, Ivy wasn’t worth the


    hassle.


    But only Giselle knew the threat Ivy posed to her, both emotionally and professionally. Before Ivy could


    make her mark, Giselle was determined to ruin her, to obliterate any chance of her rising in the


    showbiz.


    As things stood, her n was working. Nobody believed Ivy anymore. In their opinion, her reputation


    was already in tatters.
