Chapter 301 An Unlikely Alliance
So, it turns out that she planned all this. Vania must be jealous of my beauty to do all this.
Clenching her teeth, she said, “So, it’s her. She’s the one who framed me. If I get the chance, I will never let her off the hook.”
Bella stared straight ahead while completely forgetting about the fact that Melanie was once Hanson’s woman and carelessly uttered, “How can such a dreamy man like Hanson only belong to Vania? How am I inferior to her? I will make him mine too.”
Melanie only mocked her upon hearing her words. You want to make Hanson yours? With your level of intelligence? You can keep on dreaming.
Leaving others aside, Bella would never be able to get close to Hanson based on how she conducted herself.
Yet, Melanie still had to act like she conceded and answered, “I don’t think I have a chance anymore, but you’re still young and beautiful, so I’m sure it will be easy to get Hanson to notice you. You have to be careful of Vania, though. She’s a very devious woman.”
“So what if she’s devious? If we team up, she wouldn’t even be much of a threat.”
Melanie was waiting for this exact sentence from Bella, but she did not expect Bella to fall into her trap so quickly, making her think that the bail money was well spent. Even though she was elated, she still feigned worry. “You don’t know how cruel she can be. I suffered under her hands once. So, I must remind you to be extra careful. It’s like what you’ve said. Once we team up, we’ll be able to deal with her.”
Seeing how Bella was seething with hatred, Melanie stopped agitating her as she feared that it might have the opposite effect.
Instead, she added with concern, “You’ve been barred from the Luke Corporation, so you should be finding it hard to survive in the entertainment industry. It just so happens that I have a few contacts in the industry. I can introduce you to them. Just maybe, you have a chance to turn things around.”
Bella was overjoyed at this piece of news. It would be great if there was still a chance for her to return to the industry.
She immediately looked at Melanie with gratitude. “Thank you for bailing me out today and even helping me return to the entertainment industry.”
Melanie, who looked very understanding, replied, “You don’t have to say that. After all, we’re just people who are stuck in the same boat. I pity and feel for your current state. That is why I bailed you out. Besides that, I loathe Vania, and I do not want to see her so happy.”
The last sentence reflected Melanie’s true feelings as all of her actions were just to target Vania. She would only be happy if Vania lived in misery.
Bella looked back at Melanie. “You can rest assured. With me around, I will help you go against her.”
Melanie gave an even more sincere gander. “Okay. We will plan thoroughly for this. You must be shocked and tired today. Rest up now. I won’t bother you any further.”
Thinking that she had found an ally, Bella nodded. “Alright. Have a safe drive.”
“Thanks, I’ll be going now.”
Just as Melanie went out, she turned back and glanced at Bella. As she had no expression, her gaze was replaced with a freezing one.
…
Haling Villa.
Vania, who was in the study, had just placed the document in her hands down when she saw Hanson entering with his injured hand obviously resting in front of his chest. It was as if he was afraid that Vania would miss it.
Walking to Vania, he simply said, “I’m going to take a bath now.”
She was completely speechless. Why is he reporting to me about his need to take a shower?
So, she could only ask him, “Do you need something?”
