Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Forced to Marry Her
"First," Ann Vaughn held up a finger, her clear eyes calmly looking at her, "you inexplicably came up to me looking for trouble, I don’t know you. Second, you provoke me and expect me not to fight back, do you think the whole world is your mom, and everyone should give in to you?"
She indeed didn’t understand the so-called rules of the entertainment industry, nor did she need to, because it wasn’t necessary.
Mandy Easton’s face turned even darker, "I’m inexplicably causing trouble? You stole my boyfriend first, and you think you’re reasonable!"
Listening to this, Ann Vaughn couldn’t help but let out a cough. The boyfriend she’s talking about, could it be Wilder Sheridan?
Seeing Mandy Easton speaking so confidently and looking genuinely angry, Ann Vaughn slowly raised a question mark in her mind.
This brat Wilder, was he planning for her to be beaten to death by his real girlfriend all along?!
"Ahem, miss, I think you might be misunderstanding." Although she didn’t have a good impression of Mandy Easton, Ann Vaughn still felt the need to explain, "Wilder Sheridan and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we are, we..."
But Mandy Easton interrupted with a scoff before she could finish.
"You’ve already started your thing; are you showing off to me? Please, have some self-respect. Of all things to steal, why steal someone else’s boyfriend? Are you that shameless?"
If the person sitting here was really just a newcomer in the entertainment circle, someone with a thinner skin might have died of shame and anger from Mandy Easton’s words.
Ann Vaughn wasn’t in the circle and naturally didn’t know how full of holes Mandy Easton’s words were, though she vaguely felt something was off.
No matter how reckless Wilder Sheridan is, it seems unlikely he would ignore his girlfriend and bring her to attend this kind of occasion, right?
"You keep saying you’re Wilder Sheridan’s girlfriend, alright, then show me the evidence."
As expected, Mandy Easton’s face stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to its previous overbearing demeanor as she questioned Ann Vaughn, "Do you even know what your status is compared to mine? Is there a need for me to lie to someone like you?"
"Even if you got plastic surgery to look like Actor Sheridan’s sister, you don’t have the fate to become the Sheridan Family’s daughter, and Actor Sheridan will not always be deceived by you! You better stay away from him, or else—"
"Or else what do you want to do?" Mark Joyce suddenly appeared, interrupting Mandy Easton’s threatening speech, standing behind Ann Vaughn with a smile, "Let me remind you, you’d better watch your mouth."
The harsh words were suddenly cut off, Mandy Easton’s face darkened. Just as she was about to retort, she realized that Mark Joyce’s face looked familiar.
It seemed like she had seen him somewhere before...
The chief special assistant of the Hawthorne Group!
Mr. Hawthorne’s trusted lieutenant!
Remembering this man’s identity, Mandy Easton’s face turned different colors, an unsightly mix of green and white, "You... You are Special Assistant Joyce?"
What on earth is going on?
Why does this newcomer not only manage to hook up with Actor Sheridan, but even Special Assistant Joyce seems to be keen on defending her... Could it be that Mr. Hawthorne has also fallen for her?!
Ann Vaughn was also somewhat surprised to see Mark Joyce here, her eyes instinctively searching the banquet hall for that tall, bamboo-like figure.
Mark Joyce didn’t pay attention to Mandy Easton. Noticing Ann Vaughn seemed to be looking for someone, he immediately understood and reminded her, "Miss Vaughn, President Hawthorne is discussing something on the second floor, shall I take you to him?"
These words verified Mandy Easton’s utterly impossible assumption, her eyes widened as if seeing a terrifying monster.
"I wasn’t looking for him, why are you telling me where he is?" Ann Vaughn withdrew her gaze indifferently, directly rejecting Mark Joyce, "I’m not going."
Mandy Easton: ?
Is this woman crazy, or is she playing at some high-level cat-and-mouse game?
Does she know who Mr. Hawthorne is?
If she could win Mr. Hawthorne’s favor, let alone top-notch resources in the entertainment industry, the whole entertainment industry would be hers, does this woman understand??!
Just as Mandy Easton was waiting for Ann Vaughn’s aloofness to provoke a reprimand from Mark Joyce, she heard him asking politely, "Miss Vaughn, what on earth has President Hawthorne done to upset you, and when will your anger subside? Could you give me a hint? These days have been really tough for us."
Every day felt like living in Kryos, enduring desolate cold winds and mental torment.
One of the secretaries even went to a highly reputed temple to pray for their early reconciliation.
One after another, everyone was going crazy, worried that they’d be next.
"What’s going on?" Wilder Sheridan rushed over after finishing his business and found Ann Vaughn sandwiched between a man and a woman, immediately thinking she was being bullied, and quickly walked over.
Seeing Wilder Sheridan appear, Mandy Easton knew things weren’t going well, and she shrank her neck, trying to sneak away quietly.
Ann Vaughn, on the other hand, sighed in relief. In fact, she didn’t know how to answer Mark Joyce’s question and didn’t want to rethink those chest-constricting matters. Fortunately, Wilder Sheridan came back just in time.
"Look, your girlfriend misunderstood our relationship, you’d better explain it to her." Ann Vaughn’s clear eyes swept over Mandy Easton who was planning to leave, and she spoke directly.
"Is your brain stuck on rice? Where do I have a girlfriend?" Wilder Sheridan turned speechless as he looked back, then saw Mandy Easton’s stiff figure, and his gaze suddenly became dangerous, "Mandy Easton, it’s you again."
"Actor... Actor Sheridan..." At this moment, Mandy Easton could no longer act arrogantly. Just thinking she might have offended Mr. Hawthorne’s woman made her wish she’d never shown up here.
Besides, she originally thought that Wilder Sheridan, who was supposed to be away for a long time, had returned so quickly!
Wilder Sheridan coldly looked at Mandy Easton’s tearful face, feeling no pity, only some disgust.
This woman had repeatedly challenged his limits, and that was enough.
"From now on, I never want to see you again."
For Mandy Easton, who dreamed of climbing higher in the entertainment industry, this was tantamount to a death sentence.
Because it meant that there would never again be a place for her in the entertainment industry!
Not even mentioning Wilder Sheridan’s family background, he was a red-hot grand slam actor, his fame was huge, and countless fans adored him nationwide.
Who would risk offending such an influential actor for merely a second-tier actress?
All the things she’d carefully planned fell apart in one stroke...
Mandy Easton felt as if her heart had died, slumping to the floor, unable to recover for a long time.
Wilder Sheridan paid her no more attention. Seeing Ann Vaughn watching Mandy Easton, he thought she was sympathetic and couldn’t help but chuckle, "If you hadn’t shown up at the Marinia commercial street last time and broke this woman’s carefully planned scandal, I would’ve been forced to marry her."
"Huh?" Ann Vaughn looked at him in confusion.
