Free Web NovelChapter 324: Chapter 324: Acting Provocative in Front of Everyone
Katherine North gritted her teeth, finally making up her mind. She discreetly tossed a packet of powder into the Longjing green tea from an angle where no one could see...
As she did this, she glanced nervously in Cecilia Vaughn’s direction.
She saw Cecilia chatting animatedly with their high school class A female class president, looking in a good mood, completely oblivious to her little trick.
Katherine let out a slight sigh of relief. She scanned the room and noticed that most of the guys were sneaking glances at Cecilia, even though Fiona Vaughn was a big star, this woman had stolen a lot of her spotlight.
Thinking about how class A people all called Cecilia the Campus Belle, Katherine couldn’t help but flash a look of jealousy and malice in her eyes.
— At Stellerton University, she was the real Campus Belle, wasn’t she? Even Cecilia Vaughn had to defer to her. These people from class A really had no eyes for recognizing talent.
Moreover, during this entire high school reunion, even though Katherine was an outsider, she always prided herself on her good looks. Yet, besides Chloe Alden and Fiona Vaughn, not a single person paid her any attention, which made Katherine increasingly uncomfortable.
Why?! She had worked hard to latch onto Young Master Shelby as a sponsor and ended up with nothing but a bad reputation, while Cecilia Vaughn was backed by someone as talented and capable as Adrian Law, and she could even climb up the social ladder!
It’s all about who you latch onto, Cecilia Vaughn just got lucky, didn’t she?!
Katherine thought about it, and a sinister cold smile spread across her face. When you do something, you have to do it thoroughly. She couldn’t help but surreptitiously reach out again and smear the powder around the rim of the cup.
— Cecilia Vaughn, people die for money and birds for food, don’t blame me.
If there’s anyone to blame, it’s your dear sister Fiona Vaughn who wants you dead, or blame yourself for always clashing with me at Stellerton University! If it weren’t for you, my life would have been so much better!
...
After doing all this, Katherine was no longer as anxious as she was initially; instead, she felt a bit excited. She already had numerous grievances with Cecilia Vaughn, and now her heart was pounding with excitement as she carried the tea tray with a slightly cheerful step towards Fiona Vaughn.
"Fiona, I’ve made the Longjing green tea you wanted ready for you."
She leaned close to Fiona Vaughn and whispered in a very low voice.
"The one on my left is the one with the powder, it’s also smeared around the cup, don’t take the wrong one."
"Good, well done. Don’t worry, I’m not that dumb."
Fiona Vaughn had a knowing smile at the corner of her lips and then checked her phone again, waiting for Chloe Alden’s text message.
— She arranged for Chloe Alden to go and change clothes, not just for a break, but to swap the universal room card and send over the man they had arranged.
— Just drugging Cecilia Vaughn wouldn’t be fun. If they could catch her red-handed with a wild man, that would be a whole different story!
At that time, she would contact Rosalind White, luring Adrian Law and The Matriarch Stacy Summers of the Law Family over!
Ha, Cecilia Vaughn, after behaving shamelessly in front of all her old classmates and being caught by the Law Family in such a scandal, she wondered what capital she had left to be arrogant!
...
The more Fiona Vaughn thought about it, the more pleased she became. She was imagining the scene when suddenly, her phone screen lit up with a message from Chloe Alden.
— Everything’s in place. The man and the room are ready. This man is the general manager of this hotel with a universal room card, and he has some family influence. He had already been eyeing Cecilia Vaughn when he saw her parking, just waiting for the beauty to fall into his trap now.
Fiona Vaughn immediately felt at ease.
"Chloe’s side is ready too."
Fiona Vaughn gave Katherine North a meaningful glance, signaling her to carry the tea tray, and then she herself walked smilingly towards Cecilia Vaughn.
"Sister, what were you talking about so happily with the class president? Were you discussing the movie that’s about to be released? If I become the leading lady for Director Arthur Chapman’s movie, sister, you must attend the premiere with the class president."
Cecilia Vaughn was chatting casually with the class A female president when she saw Fiona Vaughn taking a moment to flaunt her audition for Arthur’s leading role. She couldn’t help but smile a light, nonchalant smile.
"Fiona Vaughn, are you so sure you’ll catch Director Chapman’s eye?"
Should she tell Fiona, if nothing unexpected happens, the movie "There are branches on the mountain" will probably have Claire Sinclair as the leading lady?
Of course, more than that, Fiona would rather not know that she was the original comic author of this film.
...
Fiona Vaughn didn’t know what Cecilia was thinking, but she hated Cecilia’s smirking face the most, as if nothing was worth putting in her eyes!
Fiona Vaughn bit her lip, seductively flicking her hair.
"Sister, actors must be confident, and ASC’s Station Director Alden also thought I performed well."
"Ha... Who would have thought you could still get along so well with Station Director Alden after leaving ASC Television? So many artists end up feuding with their former employers, Fiona, you two are really rare in this industry."
Cecilia Vaughn raised her eyebrows in surprise, this comment was purely non-biased.
— If before Fiona worked for Station Director Alden, it could bring revenue to their company, it wouldn’t be surprising that she kept promoting Fiona...
But now, Fiona’s only remaining relation with Station Director Alden seems to be that her good friend Chloe is his niece, right? Yet that director still pushes all sorts of resources to Fiona, ignoring their own leading actress. It’s really strange.
Seeing Cecilia say this, Fiona’s heart skipped a beat, she nervously touched her belly.
How did this brat get so sharp!
Her relationship with Station Director Alden indeed couldn’t be seen through by outsiders, she even climbed into his bed once, something not even Chloe knew about...
"Sister, you’re joking, Station Director Alden is my mentor and benefactor in my acting career. I’m very grateful for his support, that sentiment doesn’t change even after leaving ASC."
Since the topic was too sensitive, Fiona hurriedly laughed it off, pointing her delicate finger at the two cups Katherine was holding.
"Sister, you see, we’re getting along pretty well, why don’t we use tea instead of wine, and let today’s little grievances go with a smile?"
To show her sincerity, Fiona took one of the cups first, her beautiful eyes shimmering as if genuinely earnest.
Fiona’s actions, being under the eyes of all the old classmates, drew the attention of everyone around, and some even started to boo.
"Campus Belle Vaughn, even Goddess Fiona is setting her pride aside to make peace, why don’t you be the bigger person and drink?"
"Drink! Drink! Drink!"
"Sister, please..."
Cecilia Vaughn gazed at Fiona’s glistening eyes, squinting slightly, she picked up the cup and slowly raised it to her lips—
