Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ling Tianya’s eyes were fixated on the staff member that was inserting the thumb drive into the computer, watching them as they opened folder after folder, her brows knitted together as though nervous.

Ling Yuqing and Sheng Dan’s line of sight met for a split second, the anticipation in their eyes undeniable.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Following the staff member’s final click of the mouse, Ling Tianya’s eyes closed, and everyone thought that it was because Ling Tianya was unwilling to face the truth that was about to be exposed to the world.

Ling Qi looked at Ling Tao, her lips curled into a mocking smile, before grabbing onto Guan Meiyi’s hand, who was sitting as straightly, and as dignifiedly as she could.

Ling Tao lowered his face, afraid of looking at the screen. He wished that he didn’t come to the press conference at all, then he wouldn’t have to suffer through the humiliation afterwards.

“So? Have you thought about it?” In the room, a woman’s crisp voice rang out.

Identifying the voice, Ling Tao’s head snapped up towards the screen.

Maybe because it was taken in secret, the angle of the camera wasn’t very good, but one could clearly distinguish the clothes and look of the woman sitting opposite the table.

The woman was not the star of the day’s press conference, Ling Tianya, but instead her step-sister Ling Yuqing!

Seeing the huge screen, Ling Yuqing’s face drained of color so quickly it seemed she was losing pints of blood. She knew that things could go south so quick she’d be getting whiplash, she immediately dashed towards the staff’s computer, desperately wanting to pluck out the thumb drive.

Ruan Zeyan merely raised his eyes, only one look was needed for two of his bodyguards to go forward and restraint Ling Yuqing, and for two of them to restraint Sheng Dan, who was just as distraught.

Ling Yuqing was restrained and couldn’t even get within an inch of the computer, her eyes red as she struggled like a mad woman. “It’s wrong! This is the wrong one! It’s not this! Zhang Ke!” Ling Yuqing’s eyes glared at Zhang Ke almost maniacally.

Zhang Ke’s face was the epitome of innocence, “It is this one...it’s right...Your expression is scary...”

Ling Yuqing’s blood flooded to her head, her entire face flushed red with anger, at that point in time, she finally caught on to what was going on. She was fooled by Zhang Ke, that bitch!

On the screen, the secretly taken video was being played at the maximum size.

“Are you still torn up by it?”

“I...”

“You don’t have to worry about it. You’ve already expressed your attitude by not going to the set. Work with me, I promise to deliver on my promises if you do.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course! As long as you tell the world that Ling Tianya’s has a messy private life, and not only did she copy, but also hired ghostwriters, I will introduce and recommend you to successful directors, and your work can finally be on the big screens to be seen by more people!”

“But she’s not like that at all! Wouldn’t I be lying then? Plus, I don’t have any evidence either...”

“Silly girl, as Ling Tianya’s assistant, your words alone are evidence. I’ll make sure the rest is prepared accordingly. Why else do you think I brought so many of Ling Tianya’s scripts back home?”

“You faked it? You faked evidence of Ling Tianya’s copying to incriminate her?”

“Why would it be fake? As long as you’re the one the provided the evidence, who would think that it is fake? By that time, Ling Tianya’s reputation will be blown to smithereens, and no one will even care whether this evidence is real or faked! Think about these five years that you’ve been by Ling Tianya’s side, if she’d given you any care she would have recommended you to a film company a long time ago. For all these years, you’ve done so much for her, yet all the credit ends up being hers, are you really content with that?”

Ling Yuqing continued then, “Don’t worry, I have a great relationship with Guan Meiyi. As long as we can ruin Ling Tianya this time, you’ll be the main contributor. Even if I can’t help you, Guan Meiyi definitely will be able to. You have to know, the person that hates Ling Tianya the most right now is not me, but Guan Meiyi. I’ve reached an agreement with her, as long as you’re willing to step up and testify against Ling Tianya, she will recommend you to Zhi Ya Entertainment’s directors, just wait, you’ll be famous soon!”
