Chapter 300 A Secret Mastermind
Bella frowned. In the entertainment industry, when it came to benefits, that could only mean selection of casting, so she denied the claim by saying, “I earned all my casting rights by my own hard work and not by taking them from other people.”
Smirking, Melanie shook her head. “You’re too naive. Who’s talking about the benefits in the entertainment industry? Do you still not know after looking at me?”
“You?” Bella started observing Melanie. Bella only saw certain rumors on the Internet about Melanie, so she did not know the whole story. Her reputation is already rock bottom anyway, so why would anyone pay any attention to her?
If not for Melanie sending her home after she was released from prison, Bella would never have contacted Melanie since the woman was somewhat mocking her at the start.
Then, she asked, “What do you want?”
“I was once by Hanson’s side. I was once his woman.” In reality, not many knew about Melanie being Hanson’s woman as this was kept under wraps.
However, Bella, who was not a part of the wealthy families, would not know what the truth was, so Melanie intentionally stated this just to deceive her.
As expected, Melanie’s words made Bella stiffen.
Melanie was actually Hanson’s woman. She had always thought that this was a mere rumor, but she never thought that it was true.
A shocked Bella gave Melanie a suspicious look.
Melanie was not angered by her condescending gaze; instead she only smirked again, looking like it was meant for herself. “I’ve left Hanson and he hates me now, though. I’m treated as an evil woman with no good intentions. Just like you, I didn’t do anything from start to finish. It’s all thanks to Vania that I’m in this state.”
“Vania?” Bella said the name out of doubt.
“That’s right. It was Vania. She used all kinds of tricks to frame me and lead Hanson into believing that I was the mastermind behind all those plots. In the end, I lost Hanson and his trust.” Melanie recalled this painfully.
Noticing that Bella was frowning while listening to her, Melanie thought that Bella might not understand her point, so she continued, “Because Vania wanted Hanson too, she used all kinds of lowly means to seduce him. You should know that men are weak to such temptations. Finally, Hanson was seduced by her. But, Vania, a cruel woman, was afraid that someone else might take him away from her, so she got rid of all the women around Hanson by any means possible. Hanson, on the other hand, had been wrapped around her finger.”
Seeing Melanie’s pained expression, Bella felt sympathetic toward her. Nevertheless, she still cared more about her own affairs, and so she asked, “So?”
Melanie answered, “You were once the brand ambassador for Luke Corporation, right? As an ambassador, you must have had a lot of chances to contact Hanson, but why would Vania allow you to get close to him? She will, naturally, think of a plot to chase you out. In the end, you lost your status as a brand ambassador, and Vania successfully got the shoot with Hanson. I think that you, of all people, should know about this.”
As expected, Bella frowned even deeper upon hearing her words. After she recalled something, she seemed to have seen Vania sitting inside when Hanson chased her out of the ward at the hospital.
After that, Bella lost the chance to become the brand ambassador. Besides that, she also bumped into Hanson at the shoot, and it was also Vania who was in his room back then.
