Salome stood there, stunned by Lucindaâs audacious words.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and locked her gaze onto Lucinda.
With unsteady steps, she reached down and grasped the dagger lying on the floor with her other hand.
âIâm going to take your life! Iâll kill you!â
Just as she was about to take hold of the knifeâs handle, Lucindaâs high-heeled shoe came down on the blade, preventing Salome from lifting it.
âSalome, your current predicament is all because of your own choices.
If you had just pursued an acting career and worked hard, you could have had a promising future in the entertainment industry.
â
Tears streamed down Salomeâs cheeks.
Lucinda went on with a sneer.

âBut you took the wrong path.
You chose a dead end.
You took the initiative to hurt Neolle even though you were aware that she was in a relationship with Delavan.
You intentionally came into his life as a mistress.
Did you really believe Delavan would come to your aid if anything happened to you?
Heâs struggling to protect himself.
How could he possibly care about your own situation? Both of you are despicable scumbags.
â
Salome teetered on the brink of a breakdown.
She erupted in hysterical shouts.
âNo! Nonsense! Itâs all Noelleâs fault.
We were all part of the team.
Why did she have the chance to take part in the play alone? Why did she have an individual interview when we participated in the event together? Itâs not fair!â
Wearing an expressionless face, Lucinda responded, âNoelle is an A-list artist at Angle Intl.
Sheâs the talent the company supports.
The contract you signed is different from hers from the beginning.
Your path was destined to be different from the start, but you failed to recognize it.
â
Seated on the floor, Salome appeared desperate.
âNo, itâs not my fault⦠Itâs notâ¦â
With a cold gaze, Lucinda looked around and declared, âAs everyone witnessed, she attempted to harm both Noelle and me with that knife.
Can someone please call the police and have her taken away immediately? Letâs not let her pollute this place any Longer.
â
âIâll do it! Iâll call the police,â someone immediately volunteered.
Startled, Salome finally snapped back to her senses.
She had fallen right into Lucindaâs trap.
If her attempt to kill Noelle had simply failed, she might have faced a maximum of five years in jail.
However, if she was convicted of attempting to murder Lucinda, her future would be in jeopardy.
Graham was Lucindaâs brother, and Nathan was her fiance.
These two men wouldnât just let her off the hook if she got a jail sentence for trying to hurt Lucinda.
âMiss Simmons, Iâm sorry.
I know I was wrong.
Give me a shot at making things right.
Please, donât throw me behind bars! Please!â
