Chapter 211: Chapter 211: You Will Pay For This
The staff immediately gathered around Annie and asked with concern in their voices, "Miss Annie, are you all right?"
She turned her pale face and shook her head, "my stomach hurts."
"How could that be? Where does it hurt?"
"It’s right here in my stomach."
"Did you eat anything unusual today?"
Annie thought for a moment, she opened her eyes wide and then froze. She suddenly started pointing her fingers through the crowd. Then she looked straight at Hicks, "It was you! Hicks! You poisoned the water, didn’t you?"
With a puzzled look on her face, Hicks raised her head.
"I wouldn’t do such a thing, Annie. Why do you think it’s me?"
"You gave me the water. I got a stomach ache after I drank it."
Annie was getting angrier and angrier, "I know you’ve always been jealous of me, but I didn’t think you’d do something like this. You will pay for this, and I’m going to kill you!"
Hicks was devastated, and all she could do was shake her head, "I really didn’t do it. It wasn’t me, the glass of water wasn’t mine."
As soon as Hicks said this, Annie immediately turned to look at Eddie, "It was either you or her? Yes, it was you. You were the one who gave them water to Hicks, and you can’t deny it!" frёeωebɳovel.com
Eddie frowned quickly. She couldn’t believe how this Annie woman was acting, and she was like a mad dog, "Miss Annie, you need to calm down."
"How do you expect me to calm down? You guys just watched me get this great opportunity! You are all jealous of me!"
"It wasn’t me."
Hicks wanted to explain and rushed over to Annie. Hicks and Eddie both kneeled beside her. Then Annie grabbed both of their wrists, "You know that you did it, and now you both want to run. I won’t let you go!"
Eddie was getting a little annoyed to be stuck with such a difficult person. The trouble that this woman has caused today was more than anyone could endure.
"Speak as you please and get your hands off of me. How dare you touch me!"
"Ok, then tell me what did you exactly put in the water?"
Eddie’s face turned red with anger, "Why would I poison you? I don’t even know you."
"Why wouldn’t you? You are only a little infamous star. You know you are not as good as me, so you used these backstabbing methods. It must have been Hicks who told you something."
The noise in the hallway finally echoed into the room. The door to the audition room was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man came out and impatiently looked at them and started shouting, "What are you fighting about? Keep your voices down, or we’re going to have to cancel the audition altogether."
"It’s not us, it’s..." Eddie tried to explain, but Annie interrupted.
"Director Leach, they’re trying to hurt me!"
Director Leach heard Annie say his name. He squinted slightly and realized who it was, "Oh, Annie, you’re here."
Annie’s agent really put a lot of effort into her getting this audition. Although it was not as right as Hicks said, she had dinner with the senior executives of Dior, and they even got to know each other. As soon as Director Leach called her name, her face brightened, "Director Leach, you have to help me, these two people are trying to kill me! They drugged me and didn’t want me to go in!"
Director Leach’s brow furrowed as he racked his brains over what she said, "Really?"
His gaze shifted away from her face, and he moved his head from side to side, looking at Eddie and Hicks. Then they stared silently into their eyes. Eddie finally had enough of Annie’s madness, "Miss Annie, what proof do you have that you didn’t eat something that did not agree with your stomach?"
She didn’t take the audition seriously, but she wasn’t going to let her ruin her reputation. Annie finally let go of her hand. She walked quickly to the side, picked up the glass of water, and walked back.
"Director Leach, I want you to look at this is the glass of water that Hicks just handed me. They said that only the two of them touched this glass and then me. All I know is that when I finished drinking it, I had a stomach ache.
Director Leach didn’t like conflict, but the auditions were still going on, and he wanted the people who were behind him to respect him. He had to resolve this issue and fast. He looked at Eddie and Hicks, they were two people he did not know, they were not big stars, and he had already known who was getting the part.
Director Leach spoke slowly, addressing Eddie and Hicks, "In that case, you two will not be auditioning for the next interview."
Eddie snapped before Director Leach could even move an eyebrow, "Director Leach, what if I can prove to you that there’s no problem with the water?"
Director Leach looked at Eddie somewhat curiously, "How can you prove it?"
Eddie took Annie’s glass and drank the remaining half. Annie froze as she naturally didn’t expect Eddie to make such a move. After drinking the water, Eddie gave Annie a defiant smile, "I hope Miss Annie doesn’t have another infectious disease."
Annie just realized that Eddie was humiliating her. She was mad, "What do you think you can prove by this? Who knows if you poisoned it, and then you took the antidote yourself! You are the guilty one, and you destroyed the evidence. Didn’t you?"
Eddie’s smile was wry as she gazed at her face, "Miss Annie seems to be in good spirits now."
After hearing Eddie’s words, Annie covered her stomach and immediately retorted, "The Pain! It hurts."
It was a pity that Annie was so angry at what she had said today, and now she could not speak. Annie’s mood changed when she saw Hicks auditioning today and thought she was deliberately trying to provoke her.
So after drinking the water, she had a cramp in her stomach, and she really thought Hicks had drugged her. She was so emotional that she completely forgot about it.
She was in such good spirits now, and she would look like a fool if she tried to fake that her stomach hurt again.
