After putting on his clothes, he quickly restrained Xyla. Security also came in at the right time, keeping the scene under control. Nicole was still crying as she had a towel wrapped around her, still leaving her bare shoulders exposed. Her slender legs happened to be exposed as well. Her delicate face was filled with helplessness and terror as the media frantically continued taking pictures of her.
Xyla, who had been cheated on, was crying and yelling away. After shoving Richard’s hands away, she ran out of the room. Richard looked at Nicole before shifting his gaze back to Xyla who was running out of the room. In the end, he decided to go after Xyla.
The security guards then started chasing the reporters away before slamming the door shut.
Touching her face which had been scratched all over by Xyla, she let out a gasp out of pain.
She only played walk-on parts. Besides having good looks, she had a solid foundation in acting and dancing, but because she did not have any prominent background, she could only play walk-on parts even though she had signed with Glory Entertainment for a quite a number of years. Her juniors were starting to get famous one by one, while she could only play walk-on parts who carried drinks. All she felt was discontentment and fury at her unfair destiny.
Since she was born in an orphanage, she did not have anyone to back her up. The managers looked down on her for not having any resources. Meanwhile, those who had supporters behind them could instantly star in blockbuster films after making their debuts. Besides playing in scenes where they had to show their face, they would use their stunt doubles for all the other scenes.
Life was unfair to her. She wasn’t afraid that she couldn’t see her future. She was afraid that if she continued delaying a few more years, she would not be able to become famous even if she wanted to.
After this incident, she would surely become famous!
The room was finally silent since she was the only person left in there. After wiping her face, she found her clothes and put them on. The reporters had been chased away while Richard was running after Xyla. The bathroom door then opened, and out came a young girl who was wearing a cap and school uniform.
Then, she tossed a stack of cash toward Nicole.
“Take it. Your sister’s surgery cost and 80% of the donation to the orphanage has been credited to your account. When you’ve settled the rest of the matter, I will transfer the balance payment to you.”
Holding the money, Nicole lifted her head to look at that girl whom she noticed was wearing a punk-styled pendant. The glistening ring that was on the pendant glittered…
Too many incidents had occurred that night.
This was the good thing about the existence of the Internet. In the past, if there were any entertainment news, readers would have to wait for the editors to finish writing their articles and the publishers to publish it before they could read about it in magazines. With the Internet, a news article could be written within a few minutes before it was posted out. The news would then gain attraction within a night and the whole city would know about the news within a day.
The next day, the first thing Sophia did when she got out of bed was to read the news. The slanders surrounding Taylor had vanished, but the news that had replaced them was even more exciting. News with keywords such as ‘Young Master of the Harper Group, Richard’, ‘Nicole Walker’, ‘Daughter of the Huff Family Catches Adultery in the Act’, and ‘Busted’ were all over the place.
Richard and Nicole’s passionate video was circulating on all video platforms. The part where Xyla appeared and caught them in the act, especially the part where Nicole was beaten up while naked was even more popular. The clip was trending on the Internet. By the time the cyber police started diffusing the situation, the high-definition videos had already circulated everywhere. It was impossible to stop it.
This time round, Glory Entertainment Group and Richard had become famous. Nicole was even more famous now; countless pitiful photos of her circulated the Internet, each of those photos perfectly clear, taking the Internet by storm.
The media had always been interested in matters like this. They did a thorough research regarding Nicole and posted out all of the films which she had starred in.
They then realized that her acting was actually quite good, but it was just that she had been playing walk-on parts. It was such a waste of talent.
Her background and history were also disclosed. She was sent to an orphanage along with her younger sister when they were little, but because she was not willing to separate from her sister who was physically unwell, and no families were willing to adopt her sister who was ill, they never managed to find a family to adopt them. So, she stayed in the orphanage until she was 15 when she was somehow selected by Glory Entertainment Company to be an intern.
She made her debut when she was seventeen. It had been a decade since then, but she still played walk-on parts and support cast only.
She had good looks and good acting skills, but she just couldn’t become famous. It was really a waste of talent.
