A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 458 Couldn't You Have A Bit Of Self-respect

Paul's words made Charles feel relieved. He really had to get this thirty-carat diamond necklace

because he thought that only his wife deserved it.

No other woman but Linda was suitable to wear this diamond necklace. That was why Charles was

willing to attend this auction. He didn't know that Sophia Liu was also invited to the auction as a special

guest for the opening. But even she was there, Charles wouldn't have to do anything different for her

sake. Anyway, she had nothing to do with him.

Charles, of course, knew of Sophia's intentions. He had met a lot of women who was exactly like

Sophia.

Many upper class girls had tried all kinds of means to slip into his bed. But he had managed to throw

them out of his room.

With his experience, Charles was confident that Sophia would not succeed, either. Her efforts to get

him would all be in vain at the end.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Leo Liu went to Sophia's room. He knocked on her door and said,

"Sophia, time to get up and have your make-up done now."

Leo had waited for a long while before the door was finally opened. With a pair of sleepy eyes, Sophia

looked at Leo and the make-up artist who were both standing at the doorstep. She was furious, so she

scolded them, "I haven't had enough sleep. You guys are so noisy!"

The make-up artist was frightened by her anger, but he didn't dare say anything to retort, nor did he

dare enter the room without Sophia's permission. This job was his main source of income, so he

couldn't offend Sophia. He couldn't do anything but to wait for Leo's instructions. Leo had already

gotten used to Sophia's temper, so he tried to persuade her, "Sophia, you should get up now. You have

to get dressed and finish your make-up before 5:00 PM. You are attending this jewelry auction's

opening ceremony as the main singer..."

"I know. No need to remind me of that, " said Sophia impatiently.

"Mr. Zhuang, the Zhuang Group's boss, would also attend this auction. He is in the lobby of the hotel

now. He wants to see you... What do you think?" asked Leo.

"Mr. Zhuang? Which one?"

"Hanson Zhuang."

Sophia rolled her eyes with contempt as she heard the name. She said, "Hanson Zhuang? No way. I

don't want to meet with him."

"You'd better see him at least once. After all, he's the sponsor of some of your commercial

advertisements. If you offend him, you might lose some opportunities within the entertainment industry,

" said Leo.

Leo knew that Hanson had always wanted to have Sophia; otherwise, he wouldn't have signed a

contract worth three hundred million just to make Sophia the advertising model for three of his

company's products. It was a great amount of money. Hanson's intentions were very obvious. After

having worked in the entertainment industry for a few years, Leo was already well aware of how these

bosses operated.

"Leo, you of all people should know what that bastard wants to do to me. How can you ask me to meet

him? What if he touches me? Would you be able to protect me? He almost succeeded the last time we

met!"

Sophia shouted.

Sophia didn't want any other men to touch her, except Charles. She would feel disgusted if she was

touched by any other men.

"Fine, ignore him if you don't want to meet him, " Leo had to agree with her.

"Oh, right. Where's Charles now? I still don't know why he is attending this particular auction. He had

never attended these sorts of events before. Why did he come this time?"

Sophia asked in confusion as she sat down and started having her make-up done. Sophia was not

updated with news within the company as much as Leo was. He had his ways of obtaining information

regarding the company, so Sophia didn't need to worry about many things. She could always get

answers directly from Leo.

"Well..."

Leo hesitated to answer the question. He wondered whether he should tell Sophia the truth. He was

afraid that Sophia would get angry again if she knew.

When she heard Leo stammering, Sophia's fury immediately erupted again. She slammed her hand on Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

the table and yelled, "Say it! Now! No more nonsense!"

The make-up artist was startled by her sudden yell, and so he accidentally dropped the eyebrow pencil

on the floor.

Leo had no choice but to speak up, "To my knowledge, Mr. Mu came to this auction because one of the

items available for bidding is a precious diamond necklace. The diamond weighs thirty carats..."

"Go on, why does Charles want this necklace? Does he want to give it to a woman?"

"The diamond necklace is called Lin-Cha. Mr. Mu's wife is named Linda Xia, so the necklace's name

sounds like the combination of both Linda and Charles. That's why Mr. Mu wants to purchase this

necklace. He may want to give it to his wife, " said Leo.

The whole room went silent for a moment. A cold, sharp look shadowed Sophia's face.

The atmosphere in the room was so tense that the make-up artist didn't dare let out a single sound. He

tried to control his trembling hands while he was applying cosmetics on Sophia's face. Being Sophia's

makeup artist was a tormenting affair.

Sophia wasn't an easygoing person. It was difficult to work with her.

Suddenly, Sophia stretched out her hands and swept all of the cosmetic products on the dresser down

to the floor. The loud smashing and breaking sounds shocked both the make-up artist and Leo.

This wasn't Leo's first time to see Sophia get mad like this. Every time Sophia got annoyed or felt

distressed, she would begin to break or throw things.

"You, go out first, " Leo said as he waved at the make-up artist.

The make-up artist instantly went out of the room.

He had just worked for Sophia for a few days. He didn't expect that she was such an irritable woman.

Before, the make-up artist only knew her through TV shows, and his impression was that she was a

very talented singer who sang quite well. Sophia was also developing her career in the film industry, so

the make-up artist assumed that Sophia was a very charming person. But now, he was finally seeing

her true colors behind the camera. Although she was beautiful, her personality was quite despicable!

But it was normal in the entertainment industry. Many actresses or singers were two-faced. They had a

different attitudes on camera and off camera.

"Why did you get mad again? What if other people saw you like this? Isn't it normal for Mr. Mu to

purchase a necklace for his wife? Linda Xia is Charles Mu's legal wife. They have registered their

marriage, and they have held a wedding ceremony. The whole city knows about it. Why won't you give

up all your meaningless behaviour? I suggest that you should have some foresight and look toward the

future!" said Leo.

Sophia wasn't convinced by Leo's words. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "Go

downstairs, and ask Mr. Zhuang to come here. Tell him that I want the thirty-carat diamond necklace. If

he succeeds in acquiring the necklace in the auction, I'll sleep with him for one night. Go now. Just

repeat my words to him!"

Leo felt so sad and shocked to hear Sophia's words. The entertainment industry was a melange of all

kinds of complicated things and people, but Leo had always protected Sophia well, so she hadn't

gotten defiled by anyone. She never needed to sleep with any of the big bosses to get a job. It couldn't

happen to her because he wouldn't let it.

But now, she was willing to sleep with Mr. Zhuang, someone who had a big and fat belly, in order to

fight for a diamond necklace with Charles's wife. Leo was very disappointed.

"Sophia, couldn't you have a bit of self-respect?" Leo confronted her angrily.

After a moment, Sophia began to cool down. She looked at Leo and slowly opened her mouth to say, "I

won't really sleep with him. You can try to tell him that in an ambiguous way. Use some manipulation

tactics. Tell Mr. Zhuang that I will keep him company if he could get the necklace for me. If he does,

then I will just accompany him for dinner."
