Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2770: Chapter 2779: She Wants All Her Work Resources

Nicole Oliver stood still, maintaining her composure even under Lena’s verbal humiliation. No wonder she isn’t particularly pretty, yet she manages to do so well.

”I have something to discuss with you.”

Lena raised her head, sneering, ”Queen of Acting Nicole wants to discuss something with me? I’m finished now, what could you possibly need from me? I can’t help you.”

”Let’s not beat around the bush. I’m here to ask you if you were the one who leaked that piece of news?” Nicole’s subtle eyebrows might not be considered pretty but had a unique charm.

Lena finally put down her nail polish and looked at her directly, ”Yes, I had someone leak it; so what? Does Queen of Acting Nicole dare bite me? Go ahead, I’m no longer afraid of anything; bring it on. Let’s see who ends up worse off.”

Nicole furrowed her brows, unable to judge from Lena’s behavior whether she had any more dirt on hand.

She let out a long breath, her eyebrows relaxed, and she spoke gently, ”What do you want?”

”What do I want? Oh, is Queen of Acting Nicole showing weakness?” Lena sneered, ”We’ve been at odds for so long, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you’re yielding. Are you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door after doing something shady?”

”I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

”You don’t know, but I do! Ha, you’re quite the mastermind. You bribed Olivia Lewis’s studio to spill dirt on me, deliberately targeting me so I’d go find Olivia to settle accounts, while you watched the show from the sidelines. Oh, wait. You didn’t just want to watch the show; you wanted me to take Olivia down too. Once Olivia falls, Celestial Entertainment would be all yours. Even after all these years, you’re still so disgusting. I hated you from the start because I couldn’t stand your pretentiousness. We’re all in the same circle, what’s with the holier-than-thou attitude? Do you think no one knows about your shady dealings behind the scenes? You’re neither superior nor cleaner than anyone. In terms of education and family background, you don’t even match up to me. Yet you always wanted to compete with Olivia Lewis. Her sponsor is young and capable; envy, sure, but you’re not worthy! With your looks, you can only dazzle fans under the spotlight! In reality, you pull a random woman from the street and she’d look better than you!”

Lena hated her to the core, every word stabbing at Nicole’s most sensitive place!

What Nicole cared about most was her face.

Her looks were too bland, limiting the roles she could play.

Anything with the beautiful woman set-up had nothing to do with her.

She could only act in plain literary films.

Yet she liked to publish press releases claiming she was indifferent to fame and fortune, not caring about the pay, only wanting to act in those low-paying literary films. Meanwhile, she secretly envied me and Olivia Lewis for getting more work resources.

Nicole’s face turned a mix of pale and flush under Lena’s words. She endured, speaking blandly, ”That’s how it is in the industry, not just for you and me. The company’s resources are limited, and I naturally want the lion’s share. There’s not much morality or conscience here; you can hate me. Tell me, what do you need to stop? As long as I can give it and it’s not excessive, I will agree.”

”You’re right, this industry is indeed about survival of the fittest. If I got played by you, it’s because I’m brainless. But it doesn’t matter, the one holding the knife now is me.” Lena didn’t bother with politeness and directly pointed out seven or eight good work resources Nicole had, ”Give them all to me, and I won’t continue leaking news to the media.”
