âIâm your fan! May I have your autograph? Itâs fine even if thereâs no photo. Just sign on my shirt! Iâll treasure this forever!â
Ashlyn raised her hand and gestured for them to stay quiet.
âIâve only come to be a witness today.â
She then pointed her fair finger at Helena.
Helena paled as her mind turned blank.
When⦠When did I cross Ashlyn?
Helena did not know the famous woman at all. Instinctively, she parted her lips to retort, but right then, Ashlyn said, âI have a video.â
Just as those words were out of her mouth, a petite girl brought a laptop over to Ashlyn.
Then, she turned the laptop to let everyone look at its screen.
âThis woman sent Esme into Naomiâs room in the middle of the night. Esme, what were you doing in there?â
Esme smiled as she looked at the video on the screen, and it was a weak smile of despair and helplessness.
The video showed that she had entered Naomiâs room in the middle of the night.
âThe trending of Naomiâs film crew took away all the attention from Helenaâs film crew. Helena was furious, so she instructed me to spike Ms. Berryâthe investorâs drink. Yet, who knew that Naomi herself would have ended up drinking that cup of water?â
Ashlynâs expression darkened as a cold look entered her eyes. âWhat did you just say? That drug was meant for me?â
âYes. Helena has been contacting someone mysterious, and that someone was the person who provided her with the drug meant for you. They said that as long as you, the investor, were taken down, no one would be able to compete against Helenaâs film crew anymore.â Esme nodded and went on, âEverything I said was the truth. I swear to God I did not lie.â
At that, Helena widened her eyes and glared at Esme in a mix of shock and fury. She screamed, âShut up, Esme! Shut up! Do you hear me? Shut up!â
In the next second, she raised her hand to slap Esme in the face.
However, Ashlyn was quicker. She grabbed Helenaâs hand and flung her to the ground. âAre you still going to deny that youâre not physically aggressive?â
Livid, Helena huffed and puffed as the vein on her temple popped. âNo, no, no! I didnât drug anyone, and there isnât anyone mysterious Iâm talking to!â
âThereâs something else even more terrifying!â Esme walked over to Helena. âYou have no idea about thisâabout what she asked me to do!â
âWhat is it?â
âWhat did she ask you to do?â
The reporters could not believe their ears; they could not believe that the popular young woman who looked like a poster child for innocence would be that vicious.
She had spiked Ashlynâs drink, but Naomi had ended up drinking it instead.
How can something so horrifying happen?
After all, everyone knew who Ashlyn was.
She was the God of Cars, S, and she was the famous racer who had won first place for H Nation.
At that moment, tons of Ashlynâs racing fans were there. They all had the urge to crush Helena for trying to hurt their favorite racer.
Her fans were all over the globe. Not only did the press conference attract many media reporters, but even the members of the film crew of other programs in the hotel had come out to take a look at the event as well.
The staff and actors of the industry were all stunned when they saw the scene.
They were all looking at Helena with looks of disbelief.
Helena was someone who was trending recently. In a way, she was above average in comparison with her female peers.
She had been the rival of many of her peers of the same age.
Thus, when they saw that she had messed up big time, they were all overjoyed.
There were also some actors and actresses who had worked with Helena in the past. They, too, knew how pretentious and outrageous Helena was.
As a matter of fact, Helena had taken the opportunity provided by a slapping scene to slap her co-
actress dozens of times.
Unfortunately, that actress was less popular than Helena, so she only dared to fume in silence.
Now, her chance to stand up for herself came, so she stepped forward to point at Helena. âBack when we had a scene together, she slapped me to the point that I was swollen in the face!â
