Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 252

The first to lose his cool was Damien Taylor. He couldn’t stand anyone throwing dirt at

Amelia Johnson.

But Amelia gently squeezed his hand, hinting for him to hold back–a quiet “just wait.”

Damien gave a small nod, a faint shadow passing through his eyes.

Well, looks like his little bunny was ready to play this game her way. If that’s what she wants,

he’ll step back and watch.

Leaning closer, he whispered by her ear, “Then go ahead and enjoy yourself tonight. No

matter what happens, I’ve got you.”

Amelia’s eyes sparkled, and her heart felt sweet as honey.

Seeing them acting all lovey–dovey and blatantly ignoring her, Sophia Lee’s smile turned stiff.

Her tone turned sharp. “Seems like now that Miss Johnson’s clung onto Mr. Taylor, she’s

gotten a bit… full of herself. Not exactly a charming look, you know.”

Finally giving Sophia her attention, Amelia blinked as if surprised. “Wait, were you talking to

me, Miss Lee?”

That innocent tone paired with those clear eyes made it really seem like she hadn’t heard

Sophia just now–not a case of arrogance at all.

Sophia clearly wasn’t ready to let it slide. She repeated herself, voice louder this time. “If

you’re so eager to break into showbiz, I might be able to help. Watching you running around a

set doing assistant work–had to admit, it was a little pitiful.”

“You think I want to join the entertainment industry?” Amelia raised an eyebrow. “Miss Lee,

are you sure you’ve got your facts straight?”

Sophia chuckled, smug. “Why so coy, Miss Johnson? Joining the industry is every girl’s

dream. Own it–you don’t need to pretend.”

This back–and–forth had the nearby onlookers scratching their heads. Who was being honest here? Who was just putting on a show?

Still, most folks leaned toward Sophia’s version. With the flood of talent shows these days,

Chapter 208 That was insane

any halfway decent–looking girl seemed to be angling for a screen debut.

Chaity

Amelia facepalmed, helpless at their quick judgment, then casually linked arms with Damien.

“Guys, if I really did what Miss Lee claimed–like, cozying up to directors just to land a role-

then I’d honestly be the dumbest person in the room.”

Did she just call herself dumb? The crowd went silent, all caught off guard.

Even Sophia frowned. What the hell was she trying to pull now?

“Look, everyone knows Damien’s my boyfriend. If I wanted to get into showbiz, it’d be a walk

in the park, right? I might even have better access to films or fashion gigs than Miss Lee

herself!”

“Actually,” Amelia added with a half–smile, “with Damien backing me, I don’t think Miss Lee

would’ve shot to fame that quickly, no offense.”

“If you’re really into it, babe,” Damien chimed in, eyes locked on Sophia with a smirk, “go for it.

Plenty of actresses around these days aren’t exactly thriving on talent.”

That jab hit home, and several people chuckled under their breath.

Sophia’s face turned a weird mix of red and white–not her best moment.

Still, with so many eyes on her, she had to swallow it down, smoothing her hair like she didn’t

care. “Well, Miss Johnson makes a fair point, but trust me, the entertainment industry isn’t as

easy as you think. It’s rougher than it looks.”

“Oh?” Amelia tilted her head, eyes curious. “So… you had a sponsor too? I mean, your

career’s been going pretty smooth for something that’s supposed to be tough.”

It was a question that hit right at what many in the room had been quietly wondering. You

couldn’t really say Sophia Lee got famous overnight. Sure, she had worked hard in the

entertainment industry before, but no one could really figure out exactly how she blew up.

That’s why there were always whispers about who might be backing her.

Too bad no one had figured it out yet.

Amelia didn’t miss a beat. “Exactly. So if you know that, why’d you start off throwing

baseless accusations at me? Got any proof?” She hit right back with Sophia’s own words.

What, did Sophia think she hadn’t heard her loud and clear?

Sophia’s face stiffened, and she finally cracked. All elegance thrown out the window, she shot

Amelia a glare that could kill and stomped off, fuming.

Honestly, if she’d stayed one second longer, she probably would’ve lost it right there.
