The surrounding area was suddenly plunged into an uproar.
Everyone was pointing fingers at Natalia, and the look they casted were not as stunning and appreciative as before.
Instead, they were full of contempt and distain!
Natalia's face was expressionless. The criticism around her did not stir a single surge of emotions in her still deep eyes. As a matter of fact, her eyes remained serene as if nothing had ever happened.
Glancing at Natalia's indifferent reaction, Jessica sneered secretly.
Just keep pretending!
How long could you keep it like this?
She paused and was ready to say more.
But before she said anything, Shawn's angry voice was heard.
"Enough! Are you here today for the party or for gossips? It's the entrance. Don't make a scene gathering around here! Get lost!"
Naturally, everyone was not willing to leave, as a show was unfolding.
Someone could not help but said, "Mr. Miller, your fiancée is the victim. As her boyfriend, why don't you help your fiancée but an outsider?"
Shawn's back stiffened.
The expression on Jessica's face froze.
With silent fear and unwillingness creeping inside her, she turned to glance at Shawn and saw a flash of panic in his eyes.
Shawn took her hand and explained in a low voice, "Jessica, you know I didn't mean that."
Jessica clenched her fist.
Something was surging in her heart, arousing deep resentment.
However, a smile was on her face, as said softly, "I know you don't want me to have a bad relationship with my sister. It's all for my own good, I understand."
Shawn was too afraid to look into her eyes.
He nodded. "It is good that you know."
Standing at the side, Marie was still not reconcilable.
She added, "Mr. Miller, even if you don't want to inquiry into what happened five years ago, are you going to turn a blind eye to the fact that Jessica's roles have been robbed by her again and again?"
Jessica smiled gently.
"Sister, you may not know the importance of this film to me. I've done my homework for a whole month to get the role. I know you want to promote the artiste under you. How about this? Let me have this role, and I will have Shawn arrange a role for her in another film invested by Century Entertainment. How do you think?"
There was uproar at once.
"This Jessica is way too nice! Despite what her sister had done to her, she's still trying to help her get a role!"
"Yes, she was easy to be bullied!"
"Oh, she is too soft in temper. Fortunately, Shawn is here to protect her. Otherwise, God knows how much of a fool the sister's going to take her for?"
"Exchange a supporting role for a leading role? She lost nothing. It will be embarrassing if she doesn't agree to it!"
Listening to the whispers, Natalia curled her lips and forced a smile.
She gazed at Jessica with mockery in her eyes.
"Are you done acting?"
Jessica was stunned.
With a forced smile, she said, "What do you mean, sister?"
"Are you tired of being an actress and planning to switch your career to talk show?"
"Natalia! Don't go too far!"
