Kelly's ears rang after she was slapped. Then, she glared at Isabella with hatred. “We've been friends since we were kids! Why do you have a better life than I do? I'm obviously prettier than you! Nolan Group signed a contract with you and boosted your popularity, and they kept giving you resources, but you don't even want to help me to get into Nolan Group!”
Isabella looked at her best friend with a hurt expression. “Kelly, I never knew that you're so evil! Did you really think I didn't try to help you? Nolan Group didn't even want to sign a contract with you! I didn't want to dishearten you, so I told you I didn't have time to help you! I tried so hard to help you in showbiz. I thought about how to help you get into variety shows and even let you become the supporting actress in my dramas. No matter what I do, I always think of you. But you? Is this how you repay me?”
Kelly laughed bitterly. “Help me? Hah! Don't treat me like a fool! I know that those resources are scraps that you don't want! You only introduced those trashy resources to me because you don't want them. You only introduced them to me because you want to stand out more when I'm in your background! Why? Why should I always be in your shadow? I want to surpass and replace you!”
Suddenly, a crisp and icy voice sounded. “I'm sorry, Ms. Zimmer. You won't have any chance to replace or surpass her in this lifetime.”
Kelly and Isabella looked in the direction of the voice in puzzlement to see a gorgeous woman, who was waving the phone in her hand. “The police will be here any moment now. You should tell them later.”
“No! I don't want to go to prison! Ashlyn! How dare you? What right do you have to call the police?” Kelly screamed.
Ashlyn laughed mockingly. “Well, I've recorded everything from the beginning. If you really wish to blame someone, blame your foolishness!”
You're evil but foolish. You framed Naomi and did all that with those judges... Kelly, you've really surprised me this time with how disgusting you can be.
Meanwhile, the faces of those judges also paled.
She recorded it... Ashlyn recorded the whole thing! Won't this mean that what we did will be exposed too?
One of the judges rubbed his hands as he looked at Ashlyn carefully, trying to persuade her to go easy on them. “Ms. Berry—”
Ashlyn's expression remained cold as she scanned the crowd mockingly. “I'm sorry. We're all adults, so we should take responsibility for what we did. Naomi, Jonathan, let's go!”
A group of police officers rushed into the scene when she turned to leave.
