Jessica’s slap sent Laura Kiels staggering backward, almost falling to the floor.
Her cheeks felt sore and hot as she rubbed them with both hands while looking confused at Jessica Sinclair; why did this woman hit her!?
"Au-Aunty Je-Jessica, why did you slap me?! What did I do that made you slap me?" Laura Kiels asked in her whimper, almost crying, shocked and confused.
Laura Kiels never imagined Jessica Sinclair, the woman she respected the most, laying her finger on her as soon as they met without a single word or warning.
’What did I do to make this woman angry like this? What?’ Laura wonders in confusion and fear.
Her chaotic mind was scrambling to think what fault she might have done. But so far, she only recalled one mistake. But it’s a small one where she didn’t come to the agreed filming location.
’Did she hit me because of that?’ She felt utterly perplexed and started to feel angry.
When Laura saw Jessica staring at her disdainfully, She felt even more hurt and betrayed. An enormous feeling of furiousness replaced her confusion.
She clenches her teeth and finally says, "You know what, Aunty Jessica? Before you slapped me, I wanted to share some important information about your son. But when you suddenly slapped me, I felt like I no longer needed to tell you. Instead, I will meet with the media and disclose the secret information that I know you would never want the Media to know about it."
Laura Kiels no longer cares about her career; if Jessica Sinclair can’t promise to do her demand, she doesn’t care.
She only needs money to pay what Stellar Entertainment demands—the amount that Arabella Donovan legitly forces her to pay.
If Jessica can’t give her the money she needs, she will take her last route to get money.
Laura knows that A-Netz* loves her and will forgive her later. The bad news she faces now is easy to ignore, as it concerns only neglecting her work contracts.
It’s not a scandal like stealing someone’s husband, so she is sure that A-Netz would forgive her.
She only had to post an apology statement on her social media and disappeared for several years. Once A-Netz has forgotten this matter, she will return to the industry.
When Laura saw Jessica’s eyes shaking in confusion as she looked at her, Laura smiled happily and returned to her seat.
"What do you want to say, slut?" Jessica’s cold and angry voice made Laura flinch slightly.
’Sl-slut!? How dare she call me that way!!’ Laura’s hands under the table clenched into tight fists.
"Aunty, I won’t say anything if you don’t tell me your reason for hitting me," Laura said calmly, but her gaze betrayed her. She looked at Jessica with her disdainful gaze as if she wanted to return Jessica’s slap through her gaze.
"What have I done to you that made you lay your finger on me?" Laura continues.
Jessica’s expression became even uglier when she heard Laura’s words. She didn’t want to discuss it because it was embarrassing, but this woman forced her.
"Do you want to know?" Jessica asked in her soft yet cold tone.
"Yes!" Laura answers her without hesitation. She needs to hear her good reason.
Jessica’s soft chuckle echoed in the room.
