Only she can understand her current state of utter destitution.
Offending Pedro Langley ans the road in the entertainnt industry has grown difficult; she has no choice but to find another path.
To curry favor with Sophie Scott and expand her connections in high society, she has degraded herself to the point of agreeing to attend events like this one, willing to be a foil for Sophie.
And the origin of all this—
Is the woman right in front of her!
With a slight raise of her eyelids, Nora Scott took in the twisted face of Lily Turner, chuckled, and very earnestly said, "Yes, I’m gloating."
Lily Turner: "..."
So people hide their filthy intentions, speaking sweet words to please others into happiness.
And so people, like Nora Scott, are candid and straightforward but often infuriate you as soon as they open their mouths.
"Excuse ."
Nora Scott placed one hand in her pocket, lazily looking at her.
This person was standing right in the way, incredibly obstructive.
"Don’t get too happy too soon. Even if you cling to Pedro Langley, you’ll fall from grace eventually," Lily Turner coldly warned. "Families like theirs aren’t so easy to get into."
"I borrow your good wishes."
"..."
Damn your good wishes, I wish you’d just drop dead!
*
More than a dozen people gradually took their seats.
Sophie Scott naturally beca the center of attention.
Splurging generously, she invited them all to dine at Virtue Retreat; knowing Lily Turner and Nora Scott, with Lily willingly playing the side role; even the always-proud Isabella Hart gave Sophie so face, praising her; despite Zero’s "Base No. 9" erging out of nowhere and overshadowing "First Ruins," Sophie still had a promising future with "First Ruins"...
Moreover, she was sweet and pretty and a second-generation wealthy, putting her in a different class altogether.
With multiple halos upon her, she was undoubtedly fawned over by everyone present.
Nora Scott sipped on a drink, finding it all utterly dull.
She had expected Sophie would have sothing impressive to show off, but in the end, it was all just bragging.
Childish.
Boring.
Soon, the extravagant dishes were served one by one, filling the entire table. The ladies drank their beverages, the gentlen had so alcohol; the atmosphere instantly lit up.
"A WeChat exchange? Sure thing."
Sohow, soone jokingly ntioned adding each other on WeChat, and Lily Turner agreed gracefully without much hesitation.
Amid the exclamations, she took out her phone, displayed her WeChat QR code, and let them scan it.
She added them all, one by one.
The atmosphere heated up significantly.
"I can’t believe I got my goddess’s WeChat."
"Thanks to UU, our dream is fulfilled."
"Coming here was so worth it, UU. Rember to call us next ti for such events."
...
Sophie Scott bead with joy.
With Lily Turner giving her face and everyone speaking so nicely, she felt satisfied and even found Nora Scott less of an eyesore.
At this mont, soone casually asked—
"Miss Nora, may I add you on WeChat?"
Because of Nora Scott’s cold and unapproachable aura, few dared to talk to her after taking their seats.
Now soone seized the opportunity to ask, and most of the eyes turned to her expectantly.
—Even Lily Turner, a red-hot rising star, gave her WeChat; surely you, with only so fa for your looks in the industry, wouldn’t refuse?
Besides, they had quite a bit of online fa; associating with them wasn’t a bad thing.
"Hmm?"
Nora Scott paused as she drank, placed her cup down on the table.
She glanced at those present and nonchalantly said, "I didn’t bring my phone."
The crowd: "..."
The previously lively atmosphere, due to Nora Scott’s words, suddenly felt like half a basin of cold water had been poured over it, dampening it significantly.
In this day and age, soone not carrying a phone?
This kind of refusal was just too damn insincere.
"Star Scott is being quite disrespectful, isn’t she?" Isabella Hart asked, her eyes hiding sharpness, yet her lips bore a smile.
She spoke directly, the others remained silent, but tacitly agreed in their hearts.
It’s just a WeChat exchange. If agreeing ans giving them face, is it really worth losing their respect?
No wonder she’s so pretty and yet not famous in the entertainnt circle. With such poor social skills, it’s no surprise she can’t rise to fa.
"Everyone, don’t mind her, Nora is just this kind of person," Lily Turner took the initiative to speak, smiling gently as she joked, "Last month, I asked her to be an assistant; several directors and producers asked for her WeChat, and she didn’t give it to any of them either."
What she said seed like smoothing things over, but it was actually filled with mockery.
Though they were dining at the sa table, one was the glorious star, while the other was only fit to be an assistant, the difference in status was evident.
