A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 71 Help You Vent Out Your Anger

"I brought you breakfast." Jean gave her sister an innocent smile. "You got here so early to do your make-up, so you probably didn't have time to eat breakfast, right? I brought you some milk and steamed buns. You better have some first."

"No, thanks." Without raising her eyes to look at Jean, Julia stared at her reflection and called the make-up artist, "Can you please retouch my face?"

"You must eat a little." Jean guessed that Julia would act like this, so she stayed to irritate her further. "You know, Terence drove me to work this morning and bought me food. You should try some. It's a kind gesture from him."

Jean stuffed the milk and buns in Julia's hands. "You should eat something..."

"I said no. Are you deaf?" When Jean reached out to touch her, Julia couldn't restrain her temper any more. She threw the milk and buns on the floor.

The milk splattered and created a puddled mess on the floor while the buns rolled around, before hitting the wall.

The room suddenly became very quiet. When Julia realized what she had done, she sat back down. Embarrassed, she slowly groaned, "I told you that I don't want it. Why did you shove them in my hands?"

Jean looked at Julia with guilty eyes and stammered, "I just wanted to—"

"Jean, I don't think she appreciates your kindness." Before Jean could finish, Lisa's voice entered the room. When she witnessed Julia bullying Jean, she didn't like what she saw and immediately rushed over to confront Julia. "Some people just don't like to be treated with kindness. Who does you think she is?"

"Lisa, please don't say that." Although Jean had a hurtful expression on her face, she was secretly pleased at Lisa's accusations. Still pretending, Jean tugged her friend's sleeve and pleaded, "Let's just go. It's my fault."

"No way!" Lisa withdrew from Jean and came up to Julia. She snarled, "You aren't even famous yet, but you're already so arrogant. If you become popular, I can't imagine how arrogant you'll be."

"Miss Zheng, this is a private matter between Jean and me. You should refrain from poking your nose in situations that you don't understand." Julia gave her a cold and deadly stare. It was obvious that Jean provoked her in the first place.

"Jean is my best friend and I won't stand idle while you bully her," Lisa snapped. "Hurry up! You better apologize."

Julia menacingly glanced at Jean. Like a frightened rabbit, she hid behind Lisa.

However, Julia saw the triumphant look on Jean's face. As long as she was willing to, everyone was willing to stand up for her. On the other hand, nobody would take Julia's side because she was an outcast and friendless on set.

"Forget it," Jean said after waiting for a while. Seeing that it was going nowhere, she pulled Lisa's arm. "Julia didn't do it on purpose. Let's go."

"No way!" Lisa coldly glared at her. "Jean, you are easily bullied. That's why she keeps yelling at you. Just wait and see. She will apologize to you."

"It's all my fault. My sister has been filming scenes for several days straight. She got up early today to do her make-up. I shouldn't have disturbed her since she's probably just tired. Let's go." As she said this, Jean started to pull Lisa away.

However, Julia got furious upon hearing what Jean said. "Don't pretend to be so kind in front of me. I know your true colors. I don't want anything to do with you. You better stay away from me as I don't want to see you."

"You..." Jean's face paled.

Many onlookers gathered around them and started whispering to one another to help Jean fight against Julia.

People who didn't know the truth assumed that it was Julia's fault. However, she stood her ground because she knew the truth.

She just felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Jean's hypocritical face.

Lisa was about to teach Julia a lesson when she saw Jean being bullied. Before she could do anything, the director stepped in. He sensed the tension in the room and frowned. "What's going on?"

"Director Guo, Julia..." Lisa was about to tell Director Guo what happened, but Jean stopped her.

She walked up to Director Guo and smiled. "Nothing, we're just chatting with each other. Are you ready to film?"

"Yes." Director Guo had been in this industry for a long time and had interacted with different types of people. It was normal that actresses would fight. They all wanted better opportunities.

He knew that this problem wasn't as simple as Jean described it to be, but he didn't want to interfere. "We have to film the scene where Lisa and Julia confront each other. You two get ready and come out quickly."

"Okay, Director Guo. I'm coming," said Julia. Her make-up was almost done. Flustered, she didn't want to stay in the room any longer. After Director Guo left, she straightened her clothes and prepared to go on set.

Before she left, Lisa held a hand out to stop her. "Don't think that it's over, okay? As long as I'm here, you'll never be happy working."

Julia remained silent and glared at the woman in front of her. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Alright, Lisa, stop." Jean pulled her friend away. "It's not a big deal. Everyone now knows what happened."

"Jean, you don't understand." Lisa looked at Jean with a worried expression. "The more you give in to a bitch like Julia, the more aggressive she becomes. Never let her win or you'll end up in trouble."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Jean slowly nodded.

"Don't just say it. You better wait and see. I'll help you vent out your anger," Lisa hissed with confidence. Silently, Julia ignored them and headed towards the set.
