âWell, well, well. She looks harmless and amiable, but what a jinx she is. Whoever is close to her will have bad luck.â
âHey, what nonsense you guys are talking about?! Shut up!â Lana was so angry that her face turned red. âNot only are your looks below average, but you guys also talk a lot. What a blabbermouth! You should stop acting, and write novels instead! Setting people up is a talent, too. You shouldnât waste such a talent!â
Everyone looked terrified when they heard what Lana said.
Someone from the crowd said angrily, âWhat do you mean? Are you saying that weâre not telling the truth? Whoever provokes Ninian will become bloody unlucky! First, it was Agnes, and now itâs Paul.
Whoâd be next? Who would be bold enough to provoke her next?â
âThatâs right! It turns out that not only sheâs a jinx, but sheâs also ruthless, too. For all we know, she secretly made a move on them just because they offended her!â
âItâs happening now as well! She sent her assistant to yell at us while she stayed hidden somewhere to look innocent. How sickening!â
The last person who spoke pointed at Ninian, who was standing not far away from them, with a disdainful gaze.
Everyone turned and looked at Ninian. A few of them suddenly felt guilty.
It was pretty awkward to talk badly about someone when that person was around.
Putting aside whether Paul and Agnesâ incidents had something to do with Ninian, whenever people talked about her getting Everettâs attention, according to various resources, they could predict her future just by her attractive face.
Most people did not dare to offend her now.
âAlright, enough. Stop talking already. These are just misunderstandings. Donât take this to heart,â
someone urged.
The girl who brought it up did not care. She had a crush on Paul, but Paul liked Ninian. Now that something had happened to Paul, she would not let her off the hook.
âMisunderstanding? Weâre just telling the truth!â The girl then mocked Ninian, âIf you dare, kill me, too! I want to see how âgreatâ you are! Youâre just a twoâfaced coward! Yuck!â
Ninian could not help but laugh at her accusation.
She approached her and stopped Lana, who was furious. She looked at the girl plainly and said, âDid you just call me a coward?â
WA âAm I wrong?â The girlâs eyes were bloodshot. âWhen you first joined the crew set, you seduced Paul, so he would protect you. Now that youâve gotten The Everettâs attention, you pushed him aside. Not only that, you acted so ruthlessly and still refused to let him go. And yet you act like youâre innocent in front of us. Youâre such a hypocrite!â
âTsk, your plot sounds great.â Ninian clicked her tongue and smiled coldly, âBut what a shame, I donât like the ending of our story. Let me modify it a bit.â
âYouâ¦â The girl looked at her warily, âWhat do you mean?â
âDidnât you say I pretended to be innocent? I naturally have to let you know that no matter how innocent I look on the outside, Iâm actually not someone you should provoke so easily.â Ninian waved off her phone and said, â Iâve recorded what you said just now, and my legal team will come and talk to you.â
The girlâs face turned pale, and everyone was shocked.
âThis is just a spat. Why did she want to involve the law? Is she crazy?â
âYouâre probably thinking Iâm making a huge fuss, arenât you?â Ninian looked at the people around her and said, âI entered the entertainment industry for fun. Iâm not interested in joining you all or getting entangled in your dramas. Take this as a warning not to provoke me anymore. You all donât have what it takes to do that.â
After she was done talking, she straightened her clothes and left.
Lana hurriedly followed after her. The rest of them were in a daze and still had not come back to their senses.
Ninian soon found a quiet corridor and stopped there. Her hand grabbed the railing as she was a little lost as she stared into the distant scenery.
âNinianâ¦â Lana whispered.
Ninian did not turn and look at her. She asked softly, âAm I going overboard?â
