Susan was rising in fame and had hence gotten used to being constantly praised by those around her. She couldn’t contain her dissatisfaction when Amber didn’t take her seriously. However, when even John the manager followed suit, she didn’t think she could bear it anymore.
Upon Liam’s return, a huge crowd cheered, wanting to raise a toast for her and Liam. The smile returned to Susan’s face as she raised her wine glass to an executive standing next to Amber. She laughingly said, "Oh, please don’t trouble yourself to come over. It’s better that I head over to have a drink with you!"
Susan walked over with her glass of wine in hand. As she approached Amber who was sitting next to this executive, she suddenly stumbled. Her whole body lurched towards Amber, causing the glass of red wine to spill all over Amber’s hair!
Amber had not seen this coming as she was focused on her cell phone. She was shocked when the glass of wine spilled all over her. To make matters worse, the wine had trickled down her hair and into her eyes, causing them to burn. Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.
"How did that happen?" Liam was the first to react amongst the crowd.
He grabbed a napkin from the table and rushed to Amber’s side. While helping Amber wipe her hair, he looked at Susan and said coldly, "If you can't even walk properly, I don't think you should even be acting."
This sole sentence from Liam caused Susan’s expression to change drastically. The sense of triumph in her eyes instantly turned into despair and defeat.
Everyone’s facial expression grew dull as well. They understood perfectly what Liam meant by this.
Such words from Liam simply meant that Susan's acting career was over. With Liam's connections and financial ability, whoever he wanted to ban was basically dead meat.
Susan stared at Liam, eyes wide in disbelief as she asked, "Mr. Croft, I just accidentally spilled some wine and now you...you are going to ban me because of this female student?"
Susan was not convinced! Although she had yet to undergo the "wine-sipping" ceremony with Mr. Croft, he had been quite friendly to her. It was rumored that Liam was normally Jack Frost when he interacted with women—but he had chatted with her for quite some time just now! She had even felt that he had purposefully tried to get close to her a couple of times.
