Chapter 550

During Tatiana's four years at the Solana Film Academy, Brie had worked with other schoolmates to

give.

her trouble. Tatiana was a meek personality, so she endured the bullying to avoid escalation.

However, Tatiana's fear gave way to a surge of anger after she witnessed Sean being humiliated by

Josh

and saw Brie making advances toward Sean.

Tatiana had a steely look in her eyes and continued walking, completely ignoring Brie's provocation.

“Cheap bitch! Tatiana Taylor, stop right there!” Brie called out, but Tatiana maintained her stride.

Tatiana eventually halted and turned around slowly. She grinned as Brie panted and limped toward

her

with bruised and bloodied knees

She questioned, “Cheap bitch? Who are you talking about?”

“The nerve to ask! It's you, of course!” Brie momentarily brushed aside her physical pain to seek

vengeance.

"Oh, I thought you were introducing yourself for a moment,” Tatiana teased her without any change

in

expression. That caught Brie by surprise, for she wasn't used to Tatiana talking back.

Seizing the chance, Tatiana went for the kill, “You should take a long, hard look in the mirror before

you

judge anyone. You are an escort to Josh Schmidt, the president of Schmidt Group. Is that right?

"Everyone in this city knows he’s a married man. His wife is a lovely, well-bred young lady. You can

hardly

compare to her. I wonder what Mr. Schmidt saw in you. I had expected him to have better taste in

women.

Infuriated, Brie barked, “You know nothing! He fell for my youth, beauty, and charm!”

"Well, perhaps he's tired of haute cuisine and needs to take some junk food once in a while. It's a

cheap pleasure,” Tatiana mocked

“Junk food? Are you comparing me to junk food?” Brie's face had turned a deeper shade of red.

“The nerve to ask! It's you, of course!” Tatiana mimicked Brie's remark.

As Brie couldn’t win the verbal argument, Brie resorted to slapping Tatiana across the face. Tatiana's

cheeks immediately swelled with the searing pain coursing through her.

This wasn't Tatiana’s first time being slapped by Brie. Brie always took advantage of her roles in

theater rehearsals or performances every semester to slap Tatiana,

She even bribed the instructors and the class president to assign Tatiana roles of sexual violence

victims,

all just to satisfy her twisted desire.

“You think I won't hurt you just because you're now dating a rich man driving a cheap Porsche?” Brie

put

on a dangerous smile. “Do you really think he can protect you? It's all talk. When you join the

entertainment industry, only connections and money matter!

“I'm dating Josh Schmidt. I will have endless wealth to splurge for my career in the industry. If you

get on

my wrong side, I might even ask him to blacklist you and end your career in Solana City.”

Tatiana listened to Brie’s hilariously delusional speech. Little did Brie know that the Schmidts and

the

Taylors were family friends. Victor Schmidt had even held Tatiana when she was a baby.

Tatiana replied, unfazed, “Is that so? I hope you get me blacklisted. That will be a dream come true.

Who

knows if you're still in favor with Josh Schmidt by then?”

"You-"

Tatiana paused with a deadpan look in her eyes before leaving. She muttered, “By the way, I'll return

this

to you.”

Before Brie could process the situation, Tatiana had slapped her hard in the face. The sound

reverberated

in the space.

"H-How dare you?" Brie covered her cheek in astonishment. She was shocked by Tatiana’s change

in

demeanor.

“I'll slap you when I feel like it,” Tatiana retorted and lifted her chin pridefully. The sharp look in her

eyes

sent a wave of panic through Brie.

Tatiana continued, “I want you to know that I'm not a doormat. I didn’t fight back, not because I

was

powerless. I simply couldn't care enough to do that.

“Oh, and the man driving the Porsche is my lover. If you try anything funny on him, I'll make you

suffer.”
