Chapter 843

Ashlyn felt the urge to laugh when she saw the crowd staring at Naomi with contempt.

Do these people only know how to use such cheap tricks? They used the same trick on Charlotte during the piano competition. And now, they’re using it on Naomi? Can’t they come up with something new? This is getting annoying.

Meeting Sandra’s furious gaze, Ashlyn curled her lips into a faint smirk and said, “Ms. Wagner, it’s against the law to simply slander a person. Why would my sister steal your ring? I’d advise you to find out the truth before you speak.”

Hearing Ashlyn defend Naomi made Sandra’s anger spike. The latter’s face flushed red with fury, and she scolded Naomi, “She’s a thief! She seduced several judges and shamelessly slept with them just because she’s slightly pretty. That’s why she got the award as the best-supporting actress. If not, why was she given that award? She’s the female lead, yet she still wants to fight for the best-supporting actress award. I’ve never seen anyone do such a thing in my life. How did she get the award if not by sleeping around? She’s clearly cheating!”

“Sandra Wagner, you’re the perfect representation of a jealous woman. Where’s your proof? Since you claim I’ve been sleeping with the judges, then why don’t you show us some proof?” Naomi hissed in anger, finding the situation rather amusing.

How dare she frame me for sleeping with the judges? How dare she claim I was given the award because I did such things?

Naomi was about to lose her mind.

Ashlyn’s eyes glinted coldly as she warned, “Ms. Wagner, please provide evidence before making such claims. My sister won the award because of her skills.”

However, Sandra rebuked coldly, “It’s already trending on Twitter. In fact, the trending topic is all about Ms. Nolan’s infamous deeds. The proof of her sleeping around with the judges is all over the internet.”

“What did you say?” Upon hearing that, Naomi pulled out her phone and logged on to Twitter with trembling hands.

The moment she saw the pictures on Twitter, she felt her vision go dark, and she almost fainted.

There were several pictures of her having meals with different judges or going in and out of hotels with them intimately.

However, she knew she barely had any interactions with those judges.

So what’s with these pictures?

Naomi’s mind went blank, unable to come up with a suitable response.

Almost every picture revealed Naomi’s and the judges’ faces.

They were so clearly shown that she could not explain herself, no matter how much she wanted to.

Sandra sneered, “What else do you have to say for yourself, Naomi? See it now? That’s why you should hand over my ring now. You’re not valued by the Nolan family, aren’t you? Is Mr. Nolan not giving you any pocket money? Is that why you need to sleep around to earn a living and win the award? You must’ve gotten jealous when you saw my ring, right?”

Right then, the assistant director of Angel and Devil, Talon, walked over and said to Naomi, “I can be a witness. I saw Ms. Nolan holding a ring in her hand when she walked past me as I was walking out of the male restroom. Ms. Nolan, you should return the ring to Sandra. Otherwise, we’re going to have to call the police.”

Talon had a certain amount of influence in the industry, albeit not as powerful as the famous directors.

However, there was no way he could be lying, for he was already someone in his mid-thirties.

The performers from Sandra’s film crew could not take it anymore. They piped up, “Mr. Sosa would never lie. Naomi, you’d better take out the ring now.”

“A despicable woman like you who resorts to dirty tricks to win an award should just quit the entertainment industry.”

Ashlyn said sternly, “Naomi might be a rookie, but her acting skills are clearly exceptional. Besides, she has Snowstorm’s support. Do you people really think she won the award by sleeping around?”

Kelly could not help but say sarcastically, “Oh, please. Anyone who’s shortlisted has at least some acting skills. How is she worthy of winning the award with her mediocre acting skills?”

Sandra, too, did not want to argue with Naomi anymore. Truth was, the former borrowed the ring from the company of a brand. If she had truly lost it, she would have to compensate double the amount as written in the agreement.

The compensation was not the worst. It would even affect her future collaboration with the brand.
