At the Best Actress Award ceremony. In the group photo, a C-list actress took my center spot. The person in charge said with difficulty: "This is President Sterling's girlfriend. He specifically asked us to take care of her." "Would you mind... changing seats?" I agreed. After the ceremony ended. My agent comforted me in a low voice: "You had to yield. The Sterling family is powerful; we can't afford to offend them." "Darling, you've been wronged." After a moment of silence, I shook my head. In the years I was with Liam Sterling. He did plenty of unreasonable things like this for me too. Now the tables have turned. It's only fair. 1 When I broke up with Liam Sterling, I knew this day would come. What he once gave me, he would one day give to someone else. I rode his coattails and had it too easy back then. So much so that after the breakup, all the resources tilted towards me returned to their original positions. I suddenly fell silent, becoming a nobody in the industry. It took me a few years of playing supporting roles one after another to make a name for myself again. It's the same for Bella Hayes. Young, an internet celebrity, never even acted in a serious drama. Yet she could appear at the star-studded award ceremony and occupy the position I fought for years to get. Coincidentally, at the dinner before the ceremony, Bella was also arranged to sit next to me. While taking a selfie, the tea cup in her hand jerked back violently. Scalding tea flew towards me. If I hadn't been quick enough to block it with my bag. It wouldn't have been my arm and neck that got scalded, but the haute couture gown worth eight figures. This was considered a significant accident. The organizers were startled and sent me to the hospital. Bella followed with a face full of guilt. The injury was a bit serious. The blisters needed to be pricked first, then medication applied. I was afraid of pain. In the past, I would grab the arm of the person next to me in fear. That person would look at my trembling appearance with amusement and say I was useless. Ironically, the person accompanying me now was his new love. Bella was on the phone, her voice trembling: "President Sterling... I caused trouble for you." "I didn't mean to spill the tea, I will apologize, but the public opinion..." She spoke timidly for a long time, weeping like a pear blossom bathed in rain, humble and pitiful. The man on the other end sounded indifferent: "Such a small matter, and you bother me with it." Bella whispered: "She's quite a big star, and the burn is serious. If her fans make a fuss..." Her sobbing was interrupted impatiently by the man: "Who?" "Chloe Vance." Silence on the other end for a second. Liam's tone was very light: "I know." Hanging up the phone, Bella breathed a long sigh of relief. She smiled embarrassedly: "About the center spot... I didn't know." Perhaps not wanting to make enemies, she explained apologetically: "I just wanted to attend for some exposure, so I mentioned it to President Sterling... I didn't expect he would arrange the center spot for me directly, sorry." She still didn't understand Liam's style. With his status, since he arranged it, his subordinates would automatically offer the best. Things have come to this. I smiled politely back: "It's a small matter." I was also a beneficiary back then. Now I can only say what goes around comes around. There's nothing to feel wronged about. 2 After the event, my agent, Sister Yu, came to the hospital to see me. The Best Actress award was an upset this time. It was given to a newcomer whose works and acting skills were inferior to mine. Obvious manipulation ruined my efforts of the past few years. Sister Yu looked at me with heartache: "If you were still with Liam Sterling, who could snatch your award?" I was silent. Some things are not meant to last. I was the one who proposed the breakup. After all, he came home later and later, and his attitude towards me grew colder. News of the CEO of Sterling Group marrying the daughter of an overseas conglomerate was everywhere. I wanted to save some face for myself. Actually, when I was with Liam, I also suffered a lot of grievances. After all, he was the embodiment of resources and wealth. Whoever had him could have stardom within easy reach. At that time, the female lead in the same crew was Liam's ex-girlfriend. Unluckily, I played the supporting female role. A scene where the heroine slaps the scheming supporting female lead was NGed more than twenty times. When I came out of the studio, my face was swollen like a pig's head. Too many similar things happened, but I endured them all. Liam didn't know, or maybe he knew but couldn't be bothered to ask. After all, in his eyes, I was no different from those women who stayed with him for resources. At most, he just teased me lightly: "You can endure quite a lot." I told Sister Yu this as a joke. She was stunned: "How can you think like that? You are the one who went through hardships with him." I smiled. What does that count for? 3 I was like her. Everyone thought Liam lost in that upheaval among the Sterling family's top management. Liam's father suffered a cardiac arrest and died suddenly in the company. Liam's uncles suddenly rebelled, occupying the Sterling family's assets and joining forces to squeeze the young heir out of the company. When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. During that time, I was the only one left by Liam's side. I started taking roles desperately. The pressure was too great, I always had nightmares, then woke up screaming, subconsciously hugging Liam. He opened his sleepy eyes, gently pulled me into his arms, and asked me warmly what was wrong. I sobbed: "I dreamed you committed suicide." "You must not do anything foolish, no matter what happens... I will be by your side." That was the first time I saw Liam stunned. He narrowed his eyes, cupped my face, and looked at me silently. I also saved Liam's life once. When the out-of-control car rushed over, I subconsciously pushed him away. Lying in the ambulance, I held his hand and cried in fear: "Liam Sterling, am I going to die?" ... After waking up, there was a red string on my wrist. It was what Liam's mother kowtowed step by step to pray for in Tibet, saying it could ensure safety. Liam had always worn it close to his body. Now, for some unknown reason, it appeared on my wrist. During that time, he seemed to have changed a lot. The high-and-mighty person would also cook meals for me personally. If I had no appetite, he would bring the bowl to the bedside and feed me mouthful by mouthful. While I was hospitalized, the Sterling Group's top management underwent a second thorough purge. They all said Liam Sterling made a comeback. I thought so too, happy for him beyond measure. Until one day, I went to deliver a watch to Liam. Outside the clubhouse door. Several young masters surrounded by pretty girls sat opposite Liam: "Congrats Brother Liam, finally cleaned out those old ministers." "We were scared to death when you had the car accident, thought those old guys really wanted to off you, didn't expect it was all staged by you from beginning to end." "What's the name of the girl who pushed you away? Saving your life, you have to repay with your body, right?" Liam tapped the ash lightly: "Her? Not worthy yet." "This kind of woman is best at acting, with three parts true feelings, acting until you fall into it, finally offering all your assets with both hands." Those young masters fell silent: "Then... how do you plan to deal with her?" He didn't speak, sitting with lowered eyes in the dim light. Several pretty girls sensibly leaned over, pressing against his chest. I didn't want to watch anymore, turned and left. 4 Sister Yu is one of the few people who knew I had a past with Liam. When I met her, she was still Liam's secretary. Witnessed our relationship from beginning to end. Many years later I broke up with Liam. I was suppressed for a long time. She quit her decent and high-paying job beside Liam and ran over to be my agent. I asked her what she was thinking. She laughed heartily: "I bet you two can reunite, then I will be the boss's wife's leader." Sister Yu is the smartest person I have ever met, only lost once in this matter. It is now the third year since the breakup. Liam has changed girlfriends I don't know how many times. I am secretly married with a daughter, my career is stable, and I have my own family. We have long been strangers. The next day, I video chatted with my husband. Daughter didn't know where she went to play, only my husband looked at the wound on my jaw, frowning: "I have already bought a plane ticket, coming to take care of you..." I smiled and shook my head, just about to speak. Bella walked in holding fresh flowers, leading a group of staff carrying cameras. My heart sank, I hung up the phone. She expressed her condolences for a long time, with sincere words, obviously a drafted script. I also cooperated with polite remarks. Whether I recognize it or not doesn't matter. The organizers have already come forward, saying the seating chart was wrong. Online comments turned to Bella's side, gaining her a wave of fans. The power of capital. I shook my head, maintaining a polite smile. The atmosphere was always harmonious. Until the ward door was pushed open. The man opening the door wore a suit, bowing and smiling apologetically. Then, a tall and slender figure walked in.
