Bitten Badly

Shivani glanced at her. “Isn’t it wrong to not do your job?”

“So she didn’t do her job by bringing you coffee? Shivani, I remember that you’ve always had coffee before. Your fans must know that you’ve said many times in public that you like Americano, right? What Lili poured just now was the coffee you like. Is there anything wrong with that?” Isha asked.

Shivani : “…”

She really had little reason to argue.

Because of her pregnancy, she could not let anyone else know, especially Shipra. Therefore, she could not tell everyone that she could not drink coffee.

She was being unreasonable. “The coffee she brought was so hot it almost burned the tip of my tongue. Isn’t that a mistake?”

“Then why did you throw it in her face when you knew it was too hot? Besides, this dressing room is the farthest away from the coffee room. Even if the hot coffee was brought over, it wouldn’t be especially hot. Could it be that Lili brought the boiling water over and made you coffee at your door?” Isha asked.

Shivani : “…”

Isha smiled and said, “Or do you want me to publish this incident and let everyone be the judge of it?”

“This is an internal matter. Why do you want to publicize it?” Shivani was annoyed. “Forget it. I can’t be bothered to argue with public opinion. Leave.”

“Apologize and pay for the medical fees, then we’ll leave.” Isha refused to let it go.

“You!”

Isha said, “What? Look at this little girl’s face. How badly is she scalded? Maybe we really have to go through other procedures?”

Shivani was carrying a child in her stomach, after all. This child was extremely important to her.

It would be fine if the outside world knew, but if Shipra knew… She did not dare to think about the consequences.

If she had a conflict with Isha and something happened to the child, she couldn’t bear the consequences.

The supervisor didn’t want to waste time with her and didn’t dare to. But judging from Isha’s attitude, she was determined to waste time with Shivani.

Shivani apologized reluctantly. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Little Jha, transfer them a sum of money.”

After getting her apology and the money, Isha turned around and left.

.......

Jio cried as she applied medicine for Lili. Her face was already starting to blister, and she wondered if it would leave scars.

Isha gave them the money. “Jio, take your friend to the hospital first.”

Lili looked at Isha gratefully. Jio’s eyes were also red. “Isha, hurry up and go on stage. We’ll handle it.”

The supervisor didn’t expect that Isha would be the one to resolve this matter in the end. He watched Isha go on stage and sighed. “Why is the difference between people so big? Lili, I’ll give you a few days off. Go back and recuperate first. Don’t blame me for not speaking up for you just now. There are indeed some people we can’t afford to offend.”

Lili nodded. “I know, Supervisor. You did your best.”

The supervisor sighed. “It’s not like I haven’t thought of publicizing the matter for outsiders to judge, but no matter how reasonable you are, can you beat a female artist and her tens of thousands of fans? Forget it, forget it. Go back and rest.”

Lili felt terrible, but she also knew that what the supervisor said was reality.

How could an ordinary staff member compare to a female celebrity no matter how many supporters they received?

What Isha had done to help her was already the ultimate help.

After Jio returned from the hospital, Su Bei had already finished attending the event and returned backstage to remove her makeup.

“My friend is fine. The doctor said she went over in time, so there’ll only be shallow scars. Thank you, Isha.”

Isha said to her, “Find an anonymous phone number and tell Shipra that Shivani is pregnant.”

“???” Jio was confused. Shivani was pregnant? Why would they tell Shipra?

Isha explained simply, “It’s a disaster to let someone like Shivani run around. Let the people who should deal with her do it.”

Jio was grateful. “Isha, thank you for helping my friend get rid of this woman.”

“I’m not doing this for your friend but for myself,” Isha said with a faint smile.

As for how Shipra would handle it, it was none of her business.

If Shivani had been more low-key and normal, Isha would not have used such an extreme method to expose her secrets.

…

Shivani had a child, and even Tinki liked her. They had met twice in private.

Tinki was about to smoke in private. She glanced at Shivani and put away her cigarette. “Rest well and take care of the baby. The Pratap family won’t mistreat you.”

When Shipra received the news, she was extremely shocked.

But now that she was sober, she knew it was only natural.

She was born into a wealthy family and was used to seeing all kinds of scandals.

When she was with Tapas Pratap, she did not harbor any thoughts of growing old together with him. Between them, it was more about mutual benefits. Moreover, they were not married.

This was also the reason why she had never been willing to get pregnant before. Once a woman got pregnant, even though she could become rich because of her child or even rise to the top like Shina, she would have already lost her autonomy.

She never wanted that to happen. Therefore, even after Tapas Pratap lied to Old Madam Pratap about having a child for the sake of the family assets, she did not intend to have a child with Tapas Pratap.

However, she never expected Tapas Pratap to get Shivani pregnant so quickly.

“Go and find out what’s going on,” Shipra said to her manager.

Soon, she saw the photo of Tapas Pratap secretly entering Shivani’s residence and Shivani’s pregnancy test.

Shivani’s house and luxury car were both given to her by Tapas Pratap.

Shipra gripped her phone, and the expression on her face began to change like the veins on her hand.

No wonder Shivani had not come to look for her for a long time recently.

It was one thing not to have confidence in Tapas Pratap’s future, but it was another thing to get her things stolen.

The manager persuaded, “Shipra, don’t tell Mr. Pratap about this. Sometimes, men value children, but women can’t reach that level. If you tell him, you won’t be able to go back to him.”

“Of course, I know that.” Shipra gritted her teeth and said, “In fact, I don’t mind who he has children with.”

She had seen this sort of thing often enough in her own home.

She just couldn’t accept that the person who was pregnant now was Shivani, who had been following her around and flattering her.

It was a feeling of betrayal.

“But it’s also impossible to let Shivani give birth to the child,” Shivani’s agent said. “Otherwise…”

She did not continue.

However, Shipra understood what she meant. Otherwise, Shivani would rise to power because of her son, just like Shina back then.

Even if she had the support of the Singh family, how could she stop other women from deliberately causing trouble?

“I know.” A plan had already flashed through Shipra’s mind.

.....

At this moment, Shivani was with Tapas Pratap.

Tapas Pratap took this child very seriously. He would visit Shivani almost every day.

Just based on the matter of having a child, he had already obtained all the shares from Old Madam Pratap. What if the child was really born?

When the time came, would Old Master Pratap be tempted to give him what he had?

Tapas Pratap had been taught by Shina since he was young that children were very important. Otherwise, Shina would not have been able to completely tie Yash Pratap down with the two children.

Of course, children were only one aspect. Other means had to follow.

But for now, the birth of this child was the most important thing.

Shivani was wheedling with him. “Touch my belly. The child is kicking me.”

“Haha, it must be a naughty son.” Tapas Pratap laughed.

“Definitely. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so cheeky. But I’m a little worried…” Shivani lowered her eyes and whispered.

“I know. I’ll convince Shipra. She was afraid of pain and pregnancy before, so I didn’t force her. Now that we already have a child, didn’t everything work out in the end?” Tapas Pratap said matter-of-factly.

Shivani saw that his plan was to let Shipra raise the child and knew that he had never really considered her. She could not help but feel sad.

However, she didn’t show any of this on her face. Instead, she said sensibly, “That’s perfect. In any case, I don’t want anything. I’m not fighting for anything. As long as you have me in your heart, that’s enough.”

“I knew you were the best. Take this card and buy whatever you want. Work less these days.” Tapas Pratap felt comfortable being flattered.

He was confident in his charm. He believed everything Shivani said.

After Tapas Pratap left, Shivani received a call from Shipra inviting her over as a guest. Although Shivani was a little hesitant, she still agreed.

She thought to herself that Shipra probably didn’t know about her pregnancy yet. If she didn’t go over, it would make her suspicious. Hence, after dressing up, she quickly went to Shipra’s side.

Shipra did not say much. She just had some afternoon tea with her and caught up with her. She then sent her out with a smile.

Shivani heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shipra really did not notice anything.

She slowly made her way downstairs. Just as she reached the underground parking lot, a large dog suddenly charged at her. It was ferocious.

Shivani screamed in fear and dodged, but this made the big dog even more aggressive. It jumped up and down, attacking and biting her.

Ordinary people would find it difficult to deal with a crazy big dog, let alone a pregnant woman like Shivani.

Shivani shouted for help, but coincidentally, the underground parking lot was almost empty.

This position happened to be a surveillance blind spot as well.

By the time the security guard realized what was happening and came over, Shivani had been bitten badly and was covered in blood.

The security guard was so frightened that he quickly called the police and an ambulance.

…

Shivani had a miscarriage.

When Isha heard this news, it was from Jio.

She was in a daze for a moment. She originally thought that Shipra would use a gentler method to target Shivani. Unexpectedly, she used the most violent method.

She mourned the child for a moment.

Jio was very relieved. She and her friend had a lot of resentment toward Shivani. Now that Shivani was hospitalized, how could they not be happy?

The news of Shivani’s admission to the hospital was strictly blocked by TEA Media.

However, because Shivani had reduced her workload a lot recently, it still attracted attention. The paparazzi were also trying their best to find out more about her.

Shivani had a miscarriage, and Tapas Pratap rushed to the hospital anxiously.

Shivani’s face was ashen as she cried and accused Shipra.

Tapas Pratap was a little annoyed. “How can it be her? She doesn’t even know about this.”

As she spoke, Shipra came in with something. Shivani could only keep quiet.

“I’m really sorry, Shivani. I really didn’t expect that inviting you over for afternoon tea would cause such a huge commotion. If I had known, I wouldn’t have invited you. That dog has already been taken away by the police. I heard that it’s a dog that escaped from a dog farm and has been wandering outside for a period of time, so it has a fiery temper,” Shipra said regretfully while apologizing and comforting her.

Shivani knew in her heart that Shipra was the one who did it, but she couldn’t say anything.

Tapas Pratap did not believe Shivani at all.

Shipra said, “Mr. Pratap, you can go ahead with your matters. I’ll stay here and accompany Shivani.”

Tapas Pratap was very satisfied with Shipra’s character. He was also a little tired of Shivani pestering him and couldn’t wait to leave.

As soon as he left, there was nothing more to say between Shivani and Shipra.

Shipra said, “Rest well and try to get well soon. I’ll pay for your medical fees first. Don’t worry.”

Shivani touched the scar on her face. Female celebrities relied on their face to survive, but now, hers was covered in scratches. The doctor said that she could not recover completely.

How could she be any better? Everything she had was ruined!

She hated it to the core, but even if she did, who would stand up for her?

Shipra was in a particularly good mood after solving such a big problem quietly.

As for Tapas Pratap, he did not come again after this time. Shivani’s face was ruined. He felt uncomfortable just looking at her. Why would he come to suffer?

Shivani called him repeatedly, but he quickly blocked her.

Shivani could only call Tinki.

Tinki soon appeared in the hospital.

In Shivani’s hospital ward, she lit a cigarette and blew smoke rings as she pulled out a card.

With Shivani’s child gone, she no longer had to restrain her desire to smoke in private.

“Take it. Tapas is very busy. He can’t come over. You were pregnant before, and it was very difficult for you. But now that the child is gone, we don’t blame you. We can only blame ourselves for being unlucky.” Tinki’s face was shrouded in smoke.

Shivani sat on the bed like a dead person.

“This money is enough for you to spend for a while. This is the termination letter from TEA Media.” Tinki left the card and settlement letter before putting out her cigarette and turning to leave.
