"She can be of help for us," Sally said frankly, "We don't have to do everything ourselves."
"Well, I don't understand what you are trying to say," Sharon replied, feeling bewildered with the turn of events. 'What's her plan?' she wondered in her mind.
Noting Sharon's baffled expression, Sally tried to explain things to her. She said, "According to what we have found out, Rebecca and Lawrence were classmates and she wanted to be a part of his life. But now she has been forced to terminate her contract with the JC Group in advance. This is fishy, and I guess Lawrence could be behind all this. If we inform her that Lawrence is dating Aria, what do you think she will do?"
Thinking about Sally's question, Sharon replied, "Rebecca loves Lawrence, so she will not let Aria win his love at any cost. If they both fight, I am quite sure Rebecca will emerge as a winner," she analyzed.
A smirk emerged on Sharon's face. She really wanted to see Lawrence in trouble.
"Rebecca has been in the show business for years. She had to struggle a lot to reach this position. She wouldn't have been here if she wasn't a smart woman," Sally said musingly. 'I have full confidence in her abilities. All I have to do is to incite Rebecca's anger and encourage her to win her love back. Then I can see the number of problems that would arise in Lawrence's life.'
"What a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think about this before?" Sharon murmured, as she realized the extent of what Sally was planning. "Once we have let Rebecca take care of Aria, we won't even need to get our hands dirty in this mess. We can just stand by and watch. In the end, Aria and even her sick mother might also face troubles," she continued in an emphatic manner.
"Your stepson has done us a favor. We should thank him for this," Sally said coldly.
"Oh, yes, you are right. If we hadn't met Greg that day, we wouldn't have left and met Aria, and neither would have thought of such a good idea of getting back at Lawrence," Sharon echoed, feeling grateful to Greg. She took a seat next to Sally and rested her eyes on her. "Tell me what do we do next, Sally?" she asked.
"I need some pictures of Lawrence with Aria. I will ask Rebecca to come and meet me and show her these photos. I'm sure she will fly into a rage once she sees the photos. It will be an interesting drama which would be fun to watch," Sally demanded, feeling that everything was under her control.
"Okay. I will go and sort the pictures out," Sharon answered.
...
In the downtown World Trade Center, Rebecca's anger knew no bounds as she dropped her cell phone on the floor furiously. With a livid face, she raised her chin and crossed her arms over her chest silently. It seemed that her fury was going to go out of the roof today.
"Miss Rebecca, please don't be so angry," her manager who was standing next to her tried to persuade her to calm down and not let the anger go out of control.
