Chapter 141
While everyone was left gaping at Mandy and Zoe, the crew hurried to Mandy’s side, helping her to her feet when they saw her doleful look.
Mandy appeared to have taken a serious fall and could not move her feet, yelping loudly with each step she took.
“Do you need the hospital, Ms. Jessop?” one of the crew members asked.
“The event is starting–there’s no time,” Mandy moaned through the pain. “I have to return to my seat, but I can’t walk..
“Alright, let’s get you up…”
“No, I can’t!”
The crew did their best to be careful, but Mandy seemed to be in too much pain, leaving them at a loss.
That was when Mandy pointed at a certain seat nearby. “I think I’ll sit there.”
Naturally, it was Zoe’s seat.
The crew were certainly dumbfounded.
Even among the A–list stars, Zoe ranked at least among the top three.
On the other hand, Mandy could barely make the B–list. What right did she have to take the central seat of an A–lister?!
One of the crew members said, “Ms. Jessop, that’s Ms. York’s seat. You can’t-
“I don’t see a problem here. She tripped me, and it’s only natural I take her seat,” Mandy said, as if it made perfect sense.
The audience seats were lined with other stars, and they were trained well enough to not comment so easily.
On the other hand, Mandy’s actress friends–under her payroll, naturally–promptly understood. Mandy’s plan.
One of them promptly snapped, “Wasn’t everyone in showbiz saying that a certain A–lister never throws her weight and treats newcomers fairly? She’s now getting upset and retaliating just because she lost her place at the red carpet. How uncouth!”
“My leg hurts. I have no choice,” Mandy said innocently.
“Really?” Zoe simply sneered, the fire in her eyes only too obvious.
She had never been a pushover–once she got really upset, she would hit anyone!
She even left Bob Davis crying once before!
“Since you’re really breaking a leg here, I guess I must grant your wish,” Zoe breathed, eliciting every word. “I’ll never be a scapegoat!”
With that, she raised her foot, aiming the sharp heel of her stiletto on Mandy’s foot.
There was no one Zoe would not hit in this world!
And with that, she kicked her foot forward as hard as she could!
