Gina’s POV
I had a lot fewer events, so, my schedule had become flexible lately. But I had already been thinking of ways to rise to fame again.
I was planning on working with a male star to have a pop-up scandal to hype up my popularity.
The person I had my eyes on was Leo. He was looking for a supporting actress in his latest action movie, and I wanted an audition. If I made it, I could regain some popularity.
Unexpectedly, I saw the rumors about Catherine and Leo.
The media assumed that Catherine was the mysterious girlfriend that Leo had been keeping from the public for many years.
What the hell!
So, I decided to take Catherine’s necklace to make a deal with her. However, I saw something even juicier.
I was so pissed off because of the news. My face turned livid, and my body trembled.
Leo announced his relationship with that female star named Jessica, and he also clarified the rumors he had with Catherine.
He also said that instead of his rumored girlfriend, Catherine was King Blake’s girlfriend. I almost flipped out.
I stared at Leo’s live stream, and was about to snap. How I wished I could smash the phone in my hand to Catherine’s head.
Catherine hooked up with Blake? How was that possible?
I spent five years, but I still failed to attract Blake’s attention. Catherine was just a rogue. How did she manage to win Blake over the moment she went back to New Jersey?
I thought Catherine must have used some shameless means to waltz her way onto Blake’s bed.
I knew that Blake was a cold and restrained man. Maybe he was just addicted to Catherine’s body. Maybe he wasn’t thinking straight.
And Catherine must have used an even more despicable means to force Blake into announcing her identity.
I was certain that I was right.
I picked up my phone and dialed a number.
The call went through, and I said sarcastically, “Harley, weren’t you so sure that Catherine wasn’t a vain woman? What about now? You saw Leo’s live stream today, didn’t you? I don’t think I need to remind you of that, right?”
“Gina, what’s your point?” Harley’s tone was extremely cold.
“Nothing. I just feel sorry for you. Catherine seems noble, but she is not stupid. She also has feelings, and I’m sure she knows about your feelings for her. But she just won’t give you a response. What do you think she means? She doesn’t think you’re good enough for her,” I sneered.
“Gina, you shouldn’t be laughing at me now. At least we worked together once.” Harley was angry.
“Harley, I offered to be with you back then, but you turned me down. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me? Do you know what pain feels like now? Catherine is such a bitch,” I said resentfully.
“Gina, shut up. Don’t forget what I used to do. If you piss me off, your reputation will be ruined,” warned Harley coldly.
Only then did I realize that I was out of control. I immediately calmed down a little. “Harley, I’m sorry. I was just so angry. You know how much I love Blake. But now Catherine snatches him away just like that. She must be taking revenge on me. Harley, how about we make a deal?”
“What kind of deal?” Harley sneered.
“Don’t you need a chance to be famous? I think now is a perfect opportunity. You and I should act like a couple publicly, and let the rumors spread. We’ll be famouse. And what I want you to do will only do you good. There will be no harm to you. All you have to do is sleep with Catherine once, and then you and I will be in a win-win,” I directly told Harley about my shady purpose.
I believed that if Harley still loved Catherine, he would definitely not refuse such a great offer.
“I won’t go along with you in your evil deeds,” he refused.
“Harley, wake up! Why are you still protecting her? You’re such a fool!” I was so angry.
Then he directly hung up the phone.
Harley had the nerve to turn down my offer. I couldn’t believe he wouldn’t even consider a great deal like that.
I glanced at the necklace on the table, and I sneered, “Harley, Catherine, wait and see. Don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Then I immediately drove to the place where Catherine worked. When I arrived, I saw that she was about to drive and leave the company, so I immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove toward her car.
Catherine stepped on the brake fiercely and stopped the car.
Catherine pushed open the door angrily and anxiously, and I got out of my car as well.
“You could have died!” Catherine shouted angrily when she saw me.
I curled my lips disapprovingly. “If you hit me, you would end up the same.”
“If you want to die, suit yourself. But don’t drag me into this.” Catherine was furious.
I walked up to her and pointed angrily at her face. “Catherine, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be such a shameless and terrible woman. Were you trying to get back at me? Was that the reason why you snatched Blake away? How could you be so vicious?”
Catherine replied calmly, “Even if I want to get back at you, I have every reason to. Five years ago, you replaced me and enjoyed a glorious life, while I lived a hard life. I’m just taking everything that belongs to me back.”
“Well, while you’re at it, tell me, if my mother hadn’t taken you in and kicked you out before you were a teenager, would you have met Blake?” I accused her plausibly.
“If I hadn’t asked Blake to cut you some slack, you would have been dead by now.” Catherine’s voice was a little low.
“You asked him to cut me some slack? Catherine, I seriously doubt it. Maybe it was Blake who spared me for old time sake. And you took all the credit. How cheeky are you?” I sneered.
“What do you want by blocking my way today?” Catherine asked with a sneer.
“I found your obsidian necklace, but now it seems that you don’t need it anymore. I guess I can just toss it away, right?” I said slowly.
Catherine’s face froze and then turned pale.
“Give me my necklace back. It belongs to my mother!” Catherine pleaded.
I said complacently, “Are you begging me? You don’t sound sincere.”
“What do you want? Just tell me,” said Catherine.
“If I told you to break up with Blake, would you do it?” I took the opportunity to state my terms and stared at Catherine, wanting to see her expression change.
