Albert’s assistant placed five or six glasses in front of Audrey, then picked up the wine bottle and filled them all.

Audrey smiled without batting an eyelid and said, “Manager, I haven’t been feeling well recently. I even took a few cephalospores before I came. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

With that, she took out something from her purse.

It was indeed cephalospores, and there were a few empty grains on it.

Everyone looked at Audrey speechlessly, as though they were saying, ‘Why is this fellow so disappointing?”

Albert was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled and gestured for his assistant to pour a few more glasses of wine. “You ate cephalosporin? It’s not a big problem. Come, let’s drink.”

Everyone at the table looked like they were watching a good show. Audrey didn’t move as she coldly looked at the mountain of wine glasses in front of her.

‘Why? Is Audrey not giving the manager any face?” Suddenly, Howard raised his eyebrows and fanned the flames. “Some people just don’t know their place. Do they think they can fly just because they’re the second female lead in the production team? They even dare to throw a tantrum in front of the big shot. Those who don’t know better would think that they’re some rich young lady.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Another middle-aged man chimed in, “I’ve always heard that the second female lead of ‘Goddess’ is a promising talent. She’s already so strong at such a young age. Her acting skills are unparalleled. Why isn’t she even willing to drink a glass of wine in front of us?”

“Don’t tell me you’re deliberately looking down on others?”

“Who knows… She rarely interacts with people on set. Maybe she’s really arrogant and conceited and looks down on us…”

“Exactly, exactly…”

Everyone started discussing at once, their voices extremely ear-piercing.

“Darling, what’s wrong with just one drink?” the assistant director advised.

Audrey glanced coldly at the assistant director.

When she said that they were having a gathering tonight, the assistant director had specially mentioned her and asked her to be present. Audrey had found it strange back then. In terms of popularity, Elena was definitely better than her. Why did the investors target her?

What was more puzzling was that Elena, the female lead, was absent. The assistant director did not say anything and agreed readily.

So… She’s the target of tonight’s gathering? Audrey was surprised by her discovery.

She thought that she had been behaving herself during this period of time. If she had any grudges with anyone, the biggest suspect would be Howard in front of her and Irina, who had yet to arrive.

Audrey remembered that the female lead, Elena, was a kind and magnanimous girl. She couldn’t believe that Elena would deliberately join forces with others to tease her tonight.

Could it be that because she had already begun to deviate from the original novel’s plot, even the female lead Elena’s character had changed? Audrey couldn’t believe it.

Looking at Howard opposite him, his expression was really annoying and repulsive.

Audrey understood. Regardless of whether Elena had participated in the gathering behind the scenes, Howard had definitely contributed.

Audrey threw away the room card that he had stuffed into her pocket yesterday and didn’t go to the hotel. How could the vengeful Howard let her off?

“In order to understand you, we even specially changed to fruit wine with an extremely low alcohol content. Why? Aren’t you even willing to give me this face?” Albert refused to give up. He even picked up his wine glass and was about to approach her.

Audrey turned her head and dodged. Then, she held her stomach and howled. “Ah… My stomach hurts…”

No one understood what was going on, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she wanted to hide from the alcohol.

Soon, a few girls dressed seductively walked over with smiles. “Sister, where are you feeling unwell? Come, have some water?”

With that said, each of them grabbed Audrey’s shoulder and brought a cup of warm water over.

None of the drinks here could be drunk!

This sentence quickly flashed through Audrey’s mind. Then, she exerted strength on her shoulder and broke free from the stool. She sat on the ground, held her stomach, and shouted at the door that was ajar, “Anna! My appendicitis is acting up! Aren’t you going to call an ambulance?”

Anna, who had been dozing off outside the door, shivered and quickly realized what was going on inside..
