Ninian headed to the restroom when she noticed not everyone was there yet.
The discomfort that she felt finally disappeared when she washed her arms with cold water for three minutes. No one in her family knew that ever since the assault three years ago, she had become particularly sensitive to outsiders touching her, especially men.
Her good upbringing kept her calm on the outside. But deep down, she could feel a wisp of disgust and rejection gradually growing in her heart.
2 Fortunately, this time it was just an accident, and Paul was a close friend of hers. Her discomfort was not too severe, and she could just barely suppress it after rinsing her arm.
Ninian returned to normalcy again when she headed back to the set.
The shooting went by smoothly.
When it ended, Ninian went to the restroom. But someone blocked her way.
When she looked up, she saw Agnes staring at her with a hint of jealousy and resentment in her gaze.
Agnesâ beautiful and elegant face showed a sinister and arrogant expression at the moment.
âNinian, do you think you can make Everett stand up for you just because you have a pretty face? Do you see how reluctant he was? He took two days off already just so he could avoid you. Are you upset about it?â
TE Before Ninian could respond, Agnes continued, âOh, I almost forgot, a shameless person like you wonât feel sad.â She covered her mouth and said, âYouâll only start looking for and seducing your next target with your innocent face. Everett is not around, so youâre targeting Paul. Youâre onto him because Paul came from a decent background, arenât you? Youâre disgusting!â
Ninianâs expression darkened.
She grew up in a loving and caring environment, and the people she met were kind and gentle.
TH To be jealously targeted by a stranger with such intense malice for no reason was an unfamiliar situation for her.
Even so, she was not afraid. She lifted her chin up and looked at Agnes. Her initial goodâgirl, gentle gaze turned cold.
ILL Those who knew the Winters siblings, they would definitely find that the gentle and charming little princess looked just like her brothers and sister when they were angry. âMs. Mitchell.â Ninjan said in a clear and calm yet cold voice, âMaking wild guesses and resorting to wanton insults. Legally speaking, this will constitute legal action for defamation. If this happens again, Iâll have to meet you in court!â
Ninian left after she said it, without wasting any more time with Agnes.
Agnes was in shock, perhaps it was how intimidating she looked earlier all of a sudden.
By the time she came back to her senses, Ninian was gone.
âStand right there!â Agnes rushed forward , wanting to grab Ninianâs hand.
Unexpectedly , Ninianâs gentle, fragile body avoided her movement in an instant. She even raised her foot and made her fall to the floor.
Agnes fell hard on the floor.
LL Meanwhile, Ninian stood beside her and looked at her coldly. There was not even one slightest hint of gentleness in her gaze.
âIâm really curious.â Ninian said, âWhy are you so mean to me?â
âAgnes has been mean to me; in the dressing room, at the staircase, and even now, sheâs still looking at me resentfully.
âIâve asked myself if I have had a conflict with Agnes before. Even if weâre rivals in a romance drama, I canât compare myself to her. Iâm just a small actress who plays pitiful roles, and sheâs the protagonist.
âSheâs Agnes, what have I done to offend her?â
Agnesâ eyes teared up when she heard Ninianâs question. She gritted her teeth and tears started welling up in the corner of her eyes.
