They were talking trash about Sherry behind her back, then telling her to be the bigger person.
Even as an outsider standing right there, Max found that infuriating. His face darkened instantly.
The manager kept rambling on, saying it was Sherry's first day and she should stay out of trouble for her own good...
"Saying all that—why don't you just tell everyone who your backer is?"
Sherry's line shocked everyone present.
Everyone already knew, but no one expected her to say it so bluntly. And they did have a backer.
"It's me."
The voice dripped with arrogance.
The woman looked every bit a huge star, head-to-toe in luxury brands. She stepped up to Sherry and pulled off her expensive sunglasses.
She was looking down her nose at Sherry—so much so that Sherry could barely see her eyes.
She was definitely beautiful.
But...
"Are you Jade Voss?"
"Good, your eyes still work. Then again, I'm that famous."
She had a nice voice and a pretty face, and Jade knew she'd be a household name soon.
"As a talented newcomer like me, I'm confident I'll take home both Best Newcomer and Best Actress by the end of the year. Don't act shocked—people like me break records. Getting to know me now is your privilege.
"For someone at your level to see me in person? You should feel honored. Someone like you would never get close to my face without dropping millions. Know your place and take my bags."
She shoved her expensive luggage toward Sherry.
Her stare was like a master looking at a servant.
In her mind, letting Sherry carry her things was a gift.
She expected Sherry to bow and scrape.
Sherry even saw several women nearby snickering to themselves.
Their expressions said: There you are, groveling again. So you really did get kicked out and came here trying to act tough.
Now you just made a fool of yourself.
Serves you right.
