Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 790

Shirley's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're going to lock me in here?”

Bria smiled. "Yeah. You can stay right here. I've already talked to the company. You're on leave for six months. That's more than enough time for you to figure out whether you're going to listen to me or keep going against me.”

There wasn't a shred of softness in Bria's words. It was nothing but commands, threats, and sheer dominance, with no logic behind it. She demanded Shirley's full obedience.

Shirley had grown up in an ordinary city and lived a normal life in a warm, loving family. She knew what care was, what love was.

That was why she couldn't accept what Bria was doing. It made her see Bria's true face all over again.

Being locked up was something she'd only ever seen in TV dramas. She had never imagined Bria would actually do something like this to her.

Shirley's face filled with hurt and disappointment. "So you really are like that. I trusted you so much.”

Bria couldn't stand that kind of questioning from Shirley right now.

Who does she think she is? Who says I owe her an explanation?

I can do whatever I want, show whatever side I want. I don't need to care what anyone thinks.

What right does Shirley have to accuse me? Why can't she understand her own place?

Bria was furious.

But it was strange. If anyone else questioned her like this, she wouldn't feel a thing. But when Shirley said it, it was like it hit a nerve deep inside her, something she couldn't control.

Having her emotions pulled by someone else like this felt dangerous. Bria hated it.

Suppressing her anger, she asked, "So you always knew I wasn't who you thought I was?”

Shirley had always avoided facing that truth. Or maybe she'd just liked Bria too much back then to care.

But now she could finally say it.

"That producer's photos getting spread all over the internet, his reputation destroyed, disappearing from the industry... That was all you, wasn't it?”

Shirley clenched her hands. "You don't even know what a real friend is!”

Bria let out a cold laugh. "And I don't understand why you insist on going against me. In the end, all that happens is you get shelved for six months. You know how competitive this industry is... So think it through now. End it early.”

So what if she's not obeying? In the end, they all come crawling back. Just like those celebrities who crossed me before. There's no difference.

After saying that, Bria didn't want to hear anything else from Shirley. She didn't even want to look at her anymore. She turned and walked out without hesitation.

Shirley bit down hard on her lip, watching her leave.

She wasn't even angry anymore. She had simply seen Bria for who she really was.

A spoiled rich girl, all sharp edges. You couldn't upset her, couldn't go against her.

All those good times before had been built on an illusion.

Shirley had never truly known Bria. Now that she saw her as she really was, she felt like she finally understood her a little better.
