From Divorce To Dominance

Natalie laughed after hearing Chloe's words and said, "Yeah, I'm curious too. I didn't have any issues with Ms. Simpson, so why did she make that sleazy video to frame me?" With Natalie's arms crossed and fingers tapping lazily on her shoulder, she said, "Maybe you could ask her when you visit. her in jail."

The issue of Tessa making that explicit video had already been confirmed by the authorities. There was no denying it now.

Chloe was taken aback but steeled herself and snapped, "It was just a prank! Do you want to ruin her life because of a video?" Natalie sighed softly and suddenly asked, "Why are you here?"

Chloe was confused by the question and instinctively answered, What do you mean? Where else would I be if not here?"

Natalie

e chuckled softly and said, "You should be at the Saint's church! What are you all standing around for? Come meet the great and compassionate modern-day Saint!" couldn't hold back her laughter and chimed in, "Wow, I didn't expect a saint right beside me! My apologies!"

"You!" Chloe was shaking with rage, pointing at Natalie. Natalie, stop being so sarcastic!" Chloe shouted.

Her fo

was filled I with distress as she spoke, looking ready to burst into tears. Chloe continued, Tessa loves dancing so much, but you sent her to jail. How is she supposed to live there?"

"I sent her to jail, not to hell. Why can't she live?" asked Natalie.

Natalie leaned against a nearby table, her long legs crossed, and continued, "She only lost her freedom, but I almost lost my reputation. If I hadn't clarified the matter, I would have been the one being mocked now. It nearly scared me to death" Chloe was so mad at Natalie's words.

"Because I didn't want to handle it privately."

Gritting her teeth, Chloe said, "You were both participants in Sweet Love, and you met each other all the time. You could've handled the matter privately. Why did you call the police? Why did you have to do this to her?" Natalie replied, rolled

Ch

d her eyes so hard out of anger that it looked like she might pass out. Thinking about her purpose today, Chloe realized being tough wasn't working, so she instantly changed her tactic. She started crying. "Ms. Xavier, do you know how hard Tessa has worked? Do you know how much she has sacrificed to get where she is today? How could you do this to Tessa?"

Hearing Chloe's words, Natalie felt annoyed. She interrupted before Chloe could finish, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Her hardships weren't my fault. Stop blaming me for things I didn't do!" Chloe was so furious that she could almost break her teeth from clenching them.

Chloe thought, "You b**h! It's like she isn't affected at all Anger surged within her, and she shouted, "Natalie, you're so cruel! You hurt my best friend, and you'll pay for it!"

Natalie said, "A word of advice: you better not mess with me." She curled her red lips into a half-smile as she looked over, saying sincerely, "Messiitg with me will bring you big trouble. I'm saying this for your own good." 08:52 Tue, Sep Chapter 96

Chloe said, "You're rich so what? Are you trying to scare me? Do you know who my brother-in-law is? Just one word from him and you're dead!" Chloe was almost out of her mind.

She shot Natalie a hateful glare and rushed out of the practice room.

The others, seeing that the drama was over, left too.

Emily, worried, quickly came over to Natalie and asked, "What should we do? If she tells her brother-in-law, Natalie, you might get in big trouble."

"Don't panic, Natalie calmly reassured Emily.

Emily became even more anxious and said, "Natalie, I know you're rich, but Chloe's brother-in-law is really powerful. Since she joined Prosperity Entertainment, she's had endless resources. She definitely has someone backing her. She's not like Tessa. "You're scaring me with what

Just then, the loudspeaker in the practice room came on.

It said, "Dear contestants, today's live stream is about to start, Please gather in the studio within the next twenty minutes."

Natalie said to Emily, "Let's go, time to record the show."

the

At the same time, Chloe left the practice room and went straight to the third floor.

The third floor had the guest mentors' lounge. Chloe found a room, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Inside the lounge, a woman was putting on lipstick in front of the mirror.

Chloe sat on the couch behind her and called out softly, "Vivian

With a click, Vivian capped her lipstick and turned around. The face that was sweet and sunny in front of the camera was now full of anger.

Chloe pursed her her lips and said, "Vivian, did you know

"Who allowed you to go look for her?" Vivian asked harshly,

Feeling

indignant for Tessa, Chloe replied, "I went to her for Tessa! Tessa is detained now, and I..."

Vivian said, "Tessa? If she's gone, let it be. Do you want to get yourself in trouble too?" Vivian was expressing her frustration Then she continued, "You should be glad that what happened in the practice room wasn't live-streamed, or it would be you in trouble right now!" Chloe twisted her fingers and said, "But she's my friend." Vivian chuckled and poked Chloe's head, saying, "I told you to play the kind card, not to be so kind that you lose your mind. There's no such thing as true friends in this industry.

"Tessa deserved what she got! Anyone who speaks up for her will get dragged down too, so just stay out of it. Remember, Tue, Sep 24

Sweet Love is your big break, don't mess this up for me!"

When "going popular" was mentioned, a hint of resentment flashed in Chloe's eyes.

Chloe took a deep breath and said. "Vivian, you have to help me You're about to marry into a wealthy family, but you can't just ignore me. I need to level up, get on that dating show, and land a rich husband. Mr. Luther was supposed to be mine. If you hadn't stolen my credit five years ago... Vivian said, "That's enough. Haven't I told you not to talk about it anymore?" Vivian slapped Chloe whose hair was instantly messed up.

Vivian's eyes burned with a crazy madness as she pointed at Chloe's nose and warned, "Chloe, if you dare mention what happened five years ago, I'll lose everything and so will you! We're in this together now! If you ruin me, you'll be nothing! "Got it?" Vivian took a deep breath and sat back down, saying, "I handle Natalie, so stay away from her for now." in her heart.

Chloe watched Vivian's smug look, and and waves of f hatred surged in

Five years ago, Chloe was the one who first discovered Darren by the beach, but Vivian stole her credit. Otherwise, Chloe would be the current rising star, Darren's fiancee, and the one calling the shots now!

Back then, Chloe wanted to expose Vivian but was persuaded by Vivian's sweet talk

So just like that, Chloe watched helplessly as everything that should have belonged to her was stolen away.

Chloe only hated her own foolishness, but now she had no way out. She had to rely on Vivian, who had stolen everything from her.

Chloe suppressed her emotions and said, "I see.

"Let's go back, the recording is about to start." Vivian finished speaking and glanced at the mirror.

After confirming that her makeup was fine, Vivian left the dressing room first.
