Coco knew that she had stolen the limelight from Gwyneth with her supporting role in that movie.
To Gwyneth, it was considered a form of oppression, which definitely upset her.
Her assistant reminded in a hushed voice, “Ms. Lawson, it’s almost time. We’re the first ones in.”
“Let’s go.”
Gwyneth walked away with her assistant in an arrogant inanner.
After they left, Coco’s assistant could not help but say, “It’s obvious that Gwyneth’s assistant is the one who splashed the paint. Her fingers are still stained with paint that hasn’t been washed off!”
How despicable! She actually got her assistant to do such a nasty thing in order to prevent Coco from walking down the red carpet.
Clenching her fists, Coco felt an unprecedentedly strong desire to win growing in her. “I’m going to the red carpet even if I don’t wear a dress!”
What a shame. The dress that Christina made for me has to be discarded even before I can show it to the world.
Christina held Coco, who was acting on impulse, back. “Calm down. I won’t let you embarrass yourself.”
“Do you have a plan?”
Coco’s cyes lit up again.
When Christina worked on that dress in the beginning, she had considered making it short and giving it a long train. But after some deliberation, she still went with a traditional maxi dress.
With a calm look in her eyes, Christina took out a pair of scissors and cut off the part that was stained with paint.
The dress became even less of a dress.
“It would have been better not to cut it. Now it looks even more like a piece of rag.” Coco’s assistant could not help but complain.
She might as well appear in a casual outfit. At least that way, she could explain that she was too busy filming and didn’t have time to get changed. With the current state of this dress, she will definitely be laughed at if she wears it out there.
However, there was nothing Coco could do now other than go along with it. She believed in Christina’s ability and that the latter would not take her red–carpet outfit lightly.
After Christina cut off the hem of the dress, she took out a needle and thread to alter the dress.
She was finished in just a few minutes.
“Hurry up! Ms. Coco, it’s our turn.”
Coco did not even have the time to take a look at the dress after the alteration as she hurriedly walked out in her high heels.
After waiting on the red carpet for a minute, the reporters outside finally saw Coco.
Coco’s short hair made her facial features look delicate and exquisite. She wore a pink ombre dress that showcased her fair skin and defined collarbones. The short length of the dress, coupled with a long train, highlighted her fair long legs, adding to her poise and elegance.
The reporters pointed their cameras at her and snapped away.
“Coco’s dress is so beautiful. It completely put all her strengths on display.”
“What brand is that dress? I’ve never seen it before.”
“Coco, you have a good chance of winning the Best Actress tonight. Do you have confidence in yourself?”
Coco’s face seemed to be glowing as she replied confidently and calmly, “Of course I do. I believe that awards are given based on strength.”
As soon as the red carpet ended, comments about Coco’s dress were immediately trending on the Internet.
At the event hall, Coco was sitting next to Gwyneth. The former crossed her slender legs and immediately stole the limelight.
Seeing that Coco did not change her dress and even stole the limelight from her, Gwyneth could not hide. the look of resentment in her eyes.
Just then, the most exciting moment of the awards ceremony had arrived.
The host announced the winner of the best actress award, “Congratulations, Coco Lynch, for winning the best actress!“..
As the camera was pointed at Coco, she got so excited that she splashed the water that she was about to drink on Gwyneth, who was next to her, and then made a surprised expression.
D*mn you, Coco! You must have bribed someone!
