The girl walked over to Scarlett and gave her a gentle smile. “Scarlett, are you here to audition for a role in Calvert’s new TV drama too?” she asked sweetly. “What a coincidence. I’m auditioning as well. I wonder if we’re trying out for the same role. Which character are you going for?”

Scarlett glanced at her. She studied the girl’s face for a moment, then her carefully shaped smile.

Finally, Scarlett spoke. “Don’t worry. Even if we auditioned for the same role, you wouldn’t get it. I trust Mr. Patton’s judgment. He wouldn’t pick someone whose face looks this stiff from plastic surgery. Honestly, your acting is painful to watch. I’m surprised he even let you come to the audition.”

The girl standing in front of her was none other than Lavender.

When Scarlett had just started her career, there had been a huge scandal about her.

People said that as soon as she became famous, she started acting like a diva and bullying

newcomers.

Scarlett allegedly bullied Lavender, a newcomer.

Back then, Lavender had just entered the entertainment industry. She appeared in a music video about family love with a legendary singer. The video went viral, and Lavender became popular overnight.

Soon after, her company gave her an advertisement to shoot.

Scarlett was also part of that commercial.

During filming, Scarlett had pushed Lavender.

The moment it happened, the story exploded online. Everyone said Scarlett was cruel and arrogant for bullying a rookie. The internet flooded with insults against her.

That scandal followed Scarlett for years.

Lavender, on the other hand, replaced Scarlett as the lead in the advertisement. The exposure gave her a big boost in popularity. Little by little, she gained more opportunities and eventually became a rising star with strong online popularity.

But no one knew the real reason Scarlett had pushed her that day.

Lavender had leaned close to Scarlett and whispered in her ear.

“I heard your mother is in a coma, right? Taking care of someone like that must be exhausting. Honestly, why keep treating her? Someone lying in bed like that just becomes a burden to everyone. Don’t you

think so,

so, Scarlett?”

It had been obvious. Lavender said it just to provoke her.

Looking back, Scarlett felt her biggest regret was not slapping Lavender that day.

And now this woman had the nerve to walk up to her again.

When Lavender heard Scarlett’s words, her face turned slightly green.

Still pretending to be upset, she said softly, “Scarlett, we’ve known each other for years. Back when we filmed that commercial, you pushed me, but I never blamed you. I thought since we’re old acquaintances, I’d come say hello. I’ve already forgiven you, so why are you insulting me? And for the record, I never had plastic surgery.”

Of course she would never admit it.

She had approached Scarlett on purpose. Scarlett was extremely popular now. Lavender knew if she provoked her, Scarlett might push her again or snap at her just like before.

That would give Lavender another wave of publicity.

Around them, people began whispering.

“Is Scarlett bullying Lavender again? Didn’t she bully her on set more than two years ago? Lavender was just a rookie back then. Scarlett pushed her once. Now Lavender comes over to say hello, and Scarlett still treats her like this? Her words are way too harsh.”

“Yeah. She even called Lavender a plastic surgery face and said her acting hurts to watch. Her mouth is really mean.”

But someone else spoke up. “I don’t know. I feel like Scarlett doesn’t go after people for no reason. Everyone she’s called out before turned out to be terrible. Look at Zayden and Hazel. Both of them were exposed later.”

“I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Lavender did something back then. Maybe that’s why Scarlett pushed her.”

There were also a few actors at the audition who liked Scarlett.

They knew she never attacked people without a reason.

Strangely enough, almost everyone she had publicly called out in the entertainment industry had eventually fallen into scandal.

Lavender had gotten cosmetic surgery before she entered the industry. Back when she was in school, she looked quite different from how she looks now. But very few old photos existed, so no rumors ever spread.

Besides, cosmetic procedures were fairly common among celebrities.

Still, Calvert was known for being extremely strict when choosing actors. People who had obvious plastic surgery usually weren’t accepted.

Lavender believed her surgery looked natural enough. She thought no one would notice during the audition.

Scarlett stared at the tip of Lavender’s nose.

Then she said calmly, “You should probably get that nose fixed soon. If you wait any longer, the tip might poke right through.”

Lavender’s face changed immediately.

Lately, her nose had indeed been feeling uncomfortable. But if she went for repair surgery now, the shape of her nose would change. Fans and people online would definitely notice.

Her whole public image was built around being a naturally beautiful actress.

Originally, she planned to finish this audition first. After that, she would travel to a country known for advanced cosmetic surgery and quietly fix her nose there.

“Scarlett, don’t you think you’re going too far?” Lavender said, pretending to be hurt. “I already forgave you for pushing me back then. Since we know each other, I came to say hello. And now you’re spreading lies about me?”

“Lies? Forgave me?” Scarlett let out a cold laugh. Suddenly, she grabbed Lavender by the throat. Her voice turned icy. “In that case, don’t forgive me; I never asked for your forgiveness. Because in a minute, I’m going to beat you anyway.”

Lavender’s eyes widened in shock. She felt Scarlett’s grip tighten around her neck.

Her whole body was lifted slightly off the ground. Her toes barely touched the floor.

She was almost unable to breathe.
