Not far away, Annie had walked to the autograph wall. However, her face changed drastically when she noticed the two women coming from the red carpet entrance.
Zoe? Why was she here?
That incident five years ago was so sensational that everyone in the Riverside High School knew about it.
It was the 70th anniversary celebration of the school today. Almost all the students came back to celebrate their alma mater. Naturally, they would meet many acquaintances.
And she even had the nerve to come?
Standing Nearby, the host asked with a smile, “Miss Gil, both you and Mr. Anderson are alumni from Riverside High School, and you were studying here almost at the same time. Why haven’t we ever heard of your relationship?”
Annie withdrew her gaze, came back to her sense and said, smiling, “Steven and I got engaged and witnessed by the elders a long time ago. We were both students at that time, and were just worried that publicity would have a negative effect on the school, so it was kept as a secret. Please forgive us!”
Her voice was warm and soft, with a faint hint of shyness.
The host laughed, “Annie, you are really sensible. It is no wonder you were able to get such excellent grades back then. I heard that you originally wanted to go to the Royal College of Art at that time, but you missed that opportunity for some reasons you. Was it true?”
Speaking of this, the smile on Annie’s face
obviously dimmed.
She forced a smile. “It’s true, but that’s all in the past. We are here today for the school celebration, so let’s not talk about that.”
Such considerate move immediately won the favor of countless people.
Even those who had mocked her for lack of beauty had fallen silent.
Annie was really polite and well-mannered!
Even if she was sad, for the sake of everyone around her, she endured it silently!
For such a kind lady, if she was not pretty enough, what was the matter?
At least, she was beautiful inside!
Annie paused and said suddenly, “So many years had passed; I believe my sister has already realized her mistakes, so I do not blame her.”
As she spoke, she glanced down the aisle at
the two who were slowly approaching the autograph wall.
An imperceptible flicker of provocation flashed in the bottom of her eyes.
Naturally, Victoria noticed it and was furious.
Zoe calmly held her hand and said without changing her facial expression, “Hey, Miss Celebrity, pay attention to your image!”
Victoria knew that as well. The red carpet was so long that she just could not hit Annie even if she ran over her.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She could only secretly take a deep breath and mutter a curse, “B*tch!”
Not far away, Tammy who had been hiding in the crowd suddenly said to the people around, “Do you know about what the host asked earlier?”
The people around her looked confused.
After all, although the incident was sensational, it was limited to students of the same year and teachers, as well as some students in the Royal College of Art.
Many of those present today were former alumni, so they did not know much about it.
Seeing this, Tammy deliberated revealed a surprised expression.
“You don’t even know about that? Really?”
“What is it? Just tell us if you know. Don’t keep us guessing.”
“Yeah!”
Tammy smiled, “It is nothing complicated. Five years ago, both Annie and her sister were studying in Riverside High School and intended to enter the Royal College of Art together. But on the day before they were to submit their works, her elder sister found her work was not asown work and stole Annie’s submission. She even knocked Annie unconscious.”
“Annie failed to participate in the exam, and naturally lost her qualification. That’s why she had to attend the film school and entered the entertainment industry.”
The people around her looked incredulous after they heard what she said.
“Dear me! How could there be such a wicked person in the world?”
“Yeah! They are sisters! No matter how jealous she was, she shouldn’t do that!”
“What kind of person knocks someone else unconscious after stealing her work? What a vicious woman she is!”
“She literally shattered me!”
Listening to the criticism aroused around her, Tammy showed a smile of satisfaction. perfect as Annie’s, so she destroyed her ‘Zoe, how dare you humiliate me?’
‘I’m going to let you experience what it’s like to be pointed at by the nose in front of everybody!’
It had been a week since she was humiliated by Zoe at the luxury store.
For a week, her teeth tingled with hate at the thought of that day.
She was the eldest miss of the Stein family. When had she ever experienced such kind of humiliation?
Zoe was just a shady mistress relying on Henry’s support. Now that Zoe had bullied her, how could she ever turn a blind eye to her?
After hearing about Henry’s relationship with Miss Kawn from a friend in Eqitin, Tammy concluded in her heart that Zoe was nothing but a mistress.
She had intended to take revenge on Zoe with the power of her family.
But she didn’t know why there were so many misfortunes in her family business recently.
Her dad didn’t say much to her, but she could tell from the atmosphere that the company was in serious trouble recently.
However, Tammy didn’t care about that. Her dad and uncles would deal with it, and she just needed to be her usual self.
Thinking about it, Tammy took a deep breath and got more and more confident.
“By the way, who is her sister? Is she a student at our school?”
“I think so! Didn’t they take the exam together?”
Someone asked curiously. Tammy showed a sinister smile looking at the two people on the red carpet.
“Her sister is Zoe! Oh, she is right there, the one in the blue dress walking down the red carpet now!”
There was uproar all around.
On the red carpet, Victoria noticed the stares from the crowd and sensed something was wrong.
“Zoe, be careful, I feel those people over there have malice against you.”
Zoe said softly, “I noticed.”
Even if Tammy had tried hard to hide herself, she still could not hide from Zoe.
However, she didn’t bother with them now, because they would know they were wrong!
Soon they reached the signature wall.
Annie had gone over the process of the interview, but she stood there without leaving.
She seemed to be waiting for them.
When she saw them coming, she said with a smile, “Sister, Miss Kaur, you are here too.”
Victoria grunted, ignored her, turned her head and took the pen to sign.
Some of Annie’s fans in the crowd snorted with disdain.
“She’ pretty, so what? She has no manners at all! B*tch!”
However, Victoria’s fans outnumbered Annie’s.
“Are your eyes just for show? Does Victoria even know her? Hypocrite! What’s she doing saying hello to everyone she sees?”
“You!”
“What? Obviously, she did not want to talk to Annie, don’t you understand? She signed and finished her interview, but she was still lingering
there like she is some sort of big shot!”
