Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499 The Cruelest Revelation

Diana had no objections to the company’s arrangements. After all, she’d already submitted her resignation, and the handover of her responsibilities was underway.

She hadn’t paid much attention to what was happening with Sophie.

That day, she’d gone straight to the studio to finish reshooting the final celebrity’s scenes. Once that was done, she’d be free to leave.

They worked nonstop until a little after five in the afternoon before finally wrapping up.

Diana had just stepped into her dressing room when the door swung open behind her.

Assuming it was her assistant, she continued packing her bag.

"Lina, I probably won’t be coming back after—"

"Director Diana, it’s me."

Diana’s hands paused.

Her expression turned cold as she slowly turned around.

Sophie stood in the doorway, looking pale and worn out. Even so, her beauty was undeniable. Diana had to admit that Sophie’s features were nearly flawless. Even in an industry full of beautiful women, she would have ranked among the very best.

"What do you want?"

Diana was surprised by how calm her voice sounded.

Sophie wore a hat, and she pushed its brim up slightly before fixing her reddened eyes on Diana. Jealousy and hatred twisted together in her expression.

"It’s you, isn’t it? You’re the one who’s been sabotaging me!"

Diana sat down in a chair.

"What makes you say that? Do we even know each other?"

She calmly threw the question back at Sophie.

That only made the other woman angrier.

Sophie strode forward, lowering her voice.

"Diana, you know who I am, don’t you? You’ve known all along, haven’t you? I refuse to believe a woman could be so oblivious that she wouldn’t notice when her man has already given his heart to someone else!"

Sophie’s sudden accusation caught Diana off guard.

But the surprise quickly gave way to a cold, mocking smile.

"Who exactly are you? Liam’s mistress? Or just someone he uses for sex?"

Diana struck back without hesitation.

It was obvious Sophie had come looking for a fight. Every word she’d spoken was deliberately aimed at Diana’s most vulnerable spot.

There was no reason for Diana to hold back, either.

Sophie’s expression changed.

"So you do know!" she snapped. "What did you tell Liam? You’re the reason he pulled all my business deals and endorsements—and even had me replaced as the lead actress in that movie!"

The past few days had been a nightmare for her.

She’d never imagined everything could fall apart so suddenly. One moment, her career had been thriving; the next, it was as if a flood had swept away everything she’d worked for.

She was only an actress. Against someone with Liam’s power and influence, she had no way to fight back.

His ruthlessness terrified her. He’d cut off her professional opportunities and left her with nowhere to turn.

Sophie refused to believe Liam had made this decision entirely on his own.

There could only be one explanation: Diana hated her so much that she’d forced Liam to end their relationship and destroy her career.

A sneer tugged at the corners of Diana’s mouth.

She genuinely hadn’t known Liam had done all this.

But if Sophie intended to take her anger out on her, Diana wasn’t about to stand there and accept it.

"Who do you think you are that I’d go out of my way to concern myself with you?"

"What did you say?" Sophie stared at her in disbelief.

Diana’s expression remained icy. She enunciated every word.

"How special do you think you are to Liam? He could be with you, or he could be with someone else. You’re nothing but a shameless mistress. If this is how you choose to live, you’ll spend the rest of your life scrambling for whatever scraps people throw your way."

Diana slowly rose to her feet, a smile still playing on her lips.

But there was no warmth in it.

"You’re nothing but someone he used and discarded, yet you’ve somehow convinced yourself you’re important. It’s laughable."

Sophie hadn’t expected Diana to be so difficult to deal with.

She’d always assumed a woman like Diana would be easy to manipulate. On set, Diana was friendly with everyone. She was easygoing, took jokes in stride, and rarely showed a sharp edge. She’d seemed almost foolishly trusting.

Sophie had never imagined she could be so cutting when provoked.

Her face flushed, then drained of color.

But she barely had time to dwell on the insult.

Liam was determined to cut ties with her. No matter what she tried, he refused to see her. He’d even cut off the professional connections he’d once helped her secure, showing no concern for what happened to her afterward.

In the past, all she’d needed to do was act vulnerable and make herself appear pitiful. Liam would eventually soften and reach out to help her.
