YM778.TV Chapter 299 - I Already Knew
Shirley clenched her hands tightly. If she didn\'t do this, she wouldn\'t be able to control herself. Shirley was already itching to step forward and slap Lilia\'s cheek which looked pale like a puff of smoke.
"You\'re telling me to restrain myself?" Lilia looked at Shirley condescendingly. She put the fruit plate on the side of the recycling bin. "When you spread gossip about me to the crew, why didn\'t you think about holding back? There are plenty of opportunities to do that, don\'t you think?" Lilia replied coldly.
Shirley was stunned to hear that. Her face turned bright red and she repeatedly opened and closed her mouth. But not a word was spoken.
Seeing that Shirley was clearly angry but didn\'t know how to fight back, contentment filled Lilia\'s heart. She sighed and said, "Forget it. What do I expect from you? You\'ve been causing trouble for me since the first day I joined the shoot."
Shirley\'s shoulders jumped when Lilia brought that up. But before she could defend herself, the model continued her words.
"Then now you come and warn me to have mercy on them. You also told me to hold back and be a good person! What did you drink lately that you got this delusional? "Lilia replied sarcastically.
"I-I didn\'t cause trouble for you!" Shirley hurriedly denied it.
Lilia stared at her for two seconds, then let out a helpless sigh. She shook her head and said, "It\'s useless talking to you. You know your own deeds better than I do. Instead of spending your time tarnishing my reputation, you better think about your acting skills and control your personality!"
"What did you say?!" Shirley narrowed her eyes with a dangerous expression.
"One more thing." Lilia shot her knife-sharp gaze. "No matter what you do, you can\'t change the fact that he and I are married. No matter how green someone\'s yard is, it\'s still their yard. You\'re just wasting your energy."
Shirley didn\'t expect that Lilia would immediately guess the thoughts she had buried deep in her heart. Her breath was caught in her throat and it took her great effort to maintain her stiff expression. Shirley looked away and snorted, "I don\'t know what nonsense you\'re talking about!"
Lilia sneered and said straight to the point. "Oh really? There\'s no point pretending in front of me. You have maintained a cooperative relationship with the Widjaya Family for such a long time. But you can\'t deepen your relationship with Jean. Now that we are both married, what do you still hope for?"
Shirley\'s eyes widened when she heard all that.
Lilia continued, "Do you really think that if you attack me, you can make me retreat? Shirley, let me tell you something. I\'ve always faced you head on. But it was you who chose to play sneaky behind my back!"
The model shrugged her shoulders and let out a dramatic sigh.
"You are really naive. I don\'t know where that confidence in you came from. Do you think that my husband will look at a woman like you? It is important for someone to have high self-confidence, but in your case, you are too confident."
Shirley was so shocked that almost all of the actress\' thoughts were written on her face. This made her feel even more helpless and melancholy. Jean was the ideal and unforgettable man for Shirley. No one could match that man\'s qualities.
The actress stood there dumbfounded with a confused look in her eyes. She couldn\'t understand why she had been so blind all this time. Shirley thought that she had been hiding her feelings well. But it turned out that the parties involved in this matter had known everything from the start.
"When…" Shirley\'s voice trembled as she tried to speak. The woman swallowed hard before opening her mouth again. "When did you find out about this?"
"Since I first saw you." Lilia answered straightforwardly.
Despite the inexplicable hostility between the two women, Shirley couldn\'t hide the movements of the woman who seemed blinded by jealousy. Lilia wasn\'t the type to get into trouble with other people, but Shirley had tried to take her down many times. No wonder Lilia lost her temper.
Rather than stabbing each other in the back, Lilia would rather have a fair and open duel. This world would be much more peaceful if everyone else did! Too bad, Shirley clearly didn\'t like it this way.
After Lilia read her thoughts, anger and arrogance suddenly colored Shirley\'s face. The actress straightened her body with a sneer. "So you knew everything from the start."
"I don\'t care what you think of me." Lilia shrugged. "You and I both know that our personalities don\'t match. But do you really think you can win by using dirty tricks behind my back?"
Lilia glanced at the actress to see her reaction. Shirley\'s face looked a little pale under the crystal light. It seemed that the news circulating on the Internet for the past few days had exhausted her.
Shirley then met Lilia\'s eyes. The actress could see the ridicule in her eyes, as if Lilia was laughing at her weakness. Yes, she couldn\'t win using dirty tricks behind her back! The news on the Internet had explained everything.
Shirley glared at Lilia, then she finally turned around. Before leaving, she added, "I won\'t admit defeat."
Lilia raised her eyebrows and smiled casually, "It\'s your choice."
Did it matter if Shirley admitted her defeat or not? In this love game, the actress didn\'t have a single person on her side, so why did she insist on not admitting defeat? Lilia couldn\'t understand Shirley\'s mindset.
From tonight onwards, Shirley ended up being quiet. Even if she met Lilia face to face on the set, she would just turn her head away. Shirley stubbornly refused to meet Lilia\'s eyes. But for that model, it\'s a nice change.
That night, Lilia was only in the hall for less than half an hour before returning to the room early. In less than twenty minutes, Harold caught up with her too.
When Lilia opened her bedroom door, she saw Harold massaging his forehead as if he was having a headache. She let the man in without a word.
Harold took the cup of water on the table, and gulped it down. "Do you know what Melly said to me?" he suddenly asked.
Lilia looked up from her cell phone\'s screen and glanced at the man. She shook her head firmly. "I don\'t want to know."
Harold choked and coughed violently upon hearing that answer. However, Harold ignored Lilia\'s coldness and continued, "She said that after Shirley is done with shooting this film, her agency plans to send the actress overseas for one year of study."
Lilia stopped her finger from scrolling through her screen for a moment. "Oh," her answer was short.
Harold felt a little anxious. He walked over to Lilia who was sitting on the sofa and continued talking. "Melly said she knew what Shirley had done to you. She wants to apologize to you. However, she also said that the last time Shirley\'s cellphone was touched by someone else was while filming in Jakarta."
He was waiting for Lilia\'s reaction, but the woman didn\'t even bother to take another glance at him. Harold sighed before continuing, "Even though she didn\'t go into detail, I think she suspects that one of us took Shirley\'s cell phone secretly.. I heard that at that time, the surveillance cameras around the shooting location happened to be damaged."
