Chapter 203 Cynthia’s Provocation

“No, we can’t,” Amelie quickly stopped her.

“Amelie, I know you don’t like him, and you don’t want to get too involved with him, but this is different. I can’t watch you get

bullied.”

Amelie was speechless after hearing this, not knowing how to persuade Belen.

At this moment, she felt weak and pale, and didn’t know when she would feel better.

“Has Mr. Garcia come back yet?”

Amelie changed the subject.

Belen then quieted down and said, “Not yet, but he knew about this thing and called to say that filming would be suspended for three days to let you rest. He would deal with it when he came back.”

“Did he really say that?”

Indeed, Mr. Garcia seems to be on your side. He’ll help us when he comes back.”

“What can he do? There are too many interests involved here. Mr. Garcia can’t do anything to Mr. Thomson. Besides, do you have any evidence? We can only take it one step at a time,” Amelie sighed after finishing her sentence.

This time, it was indeed her own negligence.

“But Amelie, this is clearly Cynthia’s trick. Can’t we fight back?” Belen was not intimidated.

“Of course, we can fight back. Since Mr. Garcia said to suspend filming for three days, we’ll wait and see how things go after three days,” Amelie said firmly.

Seeing that Amelie had made up her mind, Belen stopped persuading her.

Looking at Amelie’s appearance, she should have a good idea of what to do.

While staying in the hospital, Amelie didn’t want to think about what was going on outside. What surprised her was that Cynthia, the culprit, even dared to visit her at the hospital in person.

On this day, Amelie was lying in bed reading when she heard a noise outside the door.

She didn’t know who Belen was arguing with.

She frowned in concern, quickly put down the book, and was about to get out of bed to see what was going on.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and to her surprise, Cynthia walked in.

Belen followed closely behind, with a displeased expression on her face.

“Ms. Gladstone, we don’t welcome you here. Please leave,” Belen said.

“Why not? We’re all in the same production. Even if we’re not friends, we’re colleagues. I’m just worried about Ms. Mullen and came to check on her. Why won’t you let me in?” Cynthia replied, her face displeased.

Belen wanted to say something, but Amelie stopped her with a look.

“Alright, Belen, you can go out first. Since Ms. Gladstone is already here, we can catch up,” Amelie said calmly.

Belen had no choice but to leave.

As the door closed, the smile that had just appeared on Amelie’s face vanished instantly.

She looked at Cynthia coldly.

“Ms. Gladstone, why do you have the time to come over? Is it really just to see me? I’m surprised that you can be so kind all the

time,” Amelie said icily.

Cynthia laughed with a hand covering her face, her eyes full of disdain.

She finally sat down on the nearby sofa.

“You’re quite funny, Ms. Mullen. Anyway, we are colleagues in the same drama group. We see each other every day, so why

should I ruin our relationship? By the way, are you feeling better?”

“If you’re really concerned about me, you wouldn’t have made such a big deal out of the play. Why bother deliberately making things difficult?” Amelie said bluntly. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Cynthia was taken aback by her words but remained calm.

“So Ms. Mullen already knows. Well, I don’t need to hide it anymore. I just can’t stand you. What qualifies you to play the lead? Do you have any real talent, or are you just relying on Lamont?”

At the mention of the name “Lamont,” Amelie’s eyes turned sharp and cold.

“Ms. Gladstone, please be mindful of your words. I earned this role based on my own abilities. It has nothing to do with Lamont. If you continue to slander me here, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Amelie’s eyes were filled with a deadly glare, and Cynthia was momentarily taken aback.

“Rude? How? You’re always trying to get close to Lamont. But have you forgotten that the Mullen family has already gone bankrupt? Why would Prosperity Global Entertainment even consider you? And what about Lamont’s background? You have no shame in flirting with one person after another!”

Cynthia’s voice grew more hostile as she retorted. If it had been someone else, she might have lost control and become furious.

However, Amelie was well aware that Cynthia was just trying to provoke her and show off in front of her.

So she wasn’t easily fooled and simply laughed it off.

“I didn’t expect Ms. Gladstone to be so concerned about me. It’s really flattering. However, your words have made me realize the reality of the situation. I appreciate your good intentions, but the female lead is mine, and no matter how many people you try to bribe, you won’t be able to change that. It’s because of my abilities,” Amelie said firmly, not taking Cynthia’s words seriously.

“Abilities?” Cynthia was shocked by the word and stood up, looking down at Amelie.

“What qualifications do you have to talk about abilities? Compared to me, who are you? Why do you deserve to be the female lead? Showing off in front of Mr. Garcia! Let me tell you, as long as I’m here, you won’t have a chance. The Mullen family has gone bankrupt, and you want to revive it on your own? Let me tell you, it’s impossible!”

Cynthia stared at Amelie fiercely, speaking each word deliberately.

In contrast, Amelie was calm and collected. She wasn’t intimidated by Cynthia’s words and sat up straight, giving her a meaningful look.

“Ms. Gladstone, there’s no need to get so worked up. I’m just a small–time actress. Why do you care so much? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think there was something else between us.”

Amelie’s words implied that she was trying to clarify their dispute.

Cynthia was thin–skinned and didn’t want to be seen through like this.

Cynthia held out a piece of paper.

“This is a check for 400 thousand dollars. If you give up your role as the female lead, the money is yours. I understand that the Mullen family has gone bankrupt, and life must be tough for you. This amount is enough to keep your family afloat. Consider it a reward for your troubles. How about quitting the entertainment industry altogether?”

Amelie was a little surprised by Cynthia’s actions. She had not expected her to come and offer her a deal to quit the entertainment industry.
