Chapter 62
Christina searched all over the place for Patty and finally found it on a small carpet in the changing room.
Meow.
Patty suddenly perked its pair of cat ears, looking very adorable.
Christina reached out and caressed Patty’s little head. “Were you standing up for me? Next time, don’t do that. You can’t afford to mess with Xandra.”
After the commotion, the production a**istant asked Christina to hand the costume prepared for Xandra to the second female lead, Coco, to wear.
She heard that the director asked the screenwriter to make changes to the characters and storyline in order to speed up the filming process.
The screen time of the second female lead might be as much as that of the female lead.
Christina proceeded to help Coco change into her outfit. In fact, Coco’s expression was more in line with the protagonist’s character in this show.
“You look great in it,” Christina said.
Coco’s face showed a hint of shyness. “I have to thank you for this. If it weren’t for Xandra being unable to shoot, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”
Her status wasn’t that of an A–list celebrity, so naturally, the resources to become the protagonist wouldn’t fall into her hands.
Christina merely smiled and didn’t say a word.
The filming went smoothly that day, and by evening, they had basically caught up with the delayed schedule.
The next day, Xandra returned to the set with a rather unpleasant expression on her face.
Christina had always come out on top whenever the two of them competed with each other. This pushed Xandra’s patience to the limit.
Now she had even caused Xandra’s scenes to be cut. I must get my revenge!
During the shoot, Xandra discreetly observed Christina, who would play with the kitten whenever she had some free time.
How dare you deny instructing that stinky cat to scratch me!
Suddenly, she thought of a very interesting way to get her revenge and immediately called for Iris.
After a secret conversation between the two, Iris walked away with a solemn expression on her face.
On the other hand, Christina was busy with the costumes for both the female lead and the second female lead, working tirelessly all morning and feeling dizzy from the hectic schedule.
During the free time after her dinner, she went to find Patty
She searched all around but couldn’t find Patty, which could usually be found sleeping in its favorite spot. However, there were no signs of the cat.
Christina began to panic. Just when she was thinking about searching for Patty again, Xandra appeared in front of her.
“Are you looking for that stinky cat?”
Xandra narrowed her eyes coldly, her words laced with sarcasm.
“Did you hide Patty?” Christina asked with an angry glare.
Usually, whenever Patty heard her voice, it would come running out. However, no matter how much she called out to the cat that day, it did not show up.
Xandra’s eyes widened. “I’m the kind of person who holds a grudge. If a cat scratched me, should I slaughter it and make stew out of it? Perhaps, should I lock it up and let it starve to death?”
Christina gasped in surprise.
“Xandra, can you please stop being so malicious? Patty only accidentally scratched you the other day. If you’re angry, I apologize to you. Can you please let Patty go?”
“Sure, if you want me to let go of that stinky cat. But you need to admit that you were the one who instructed the cat to scratch me and then apologize to me!”
Xandra was relentless and unwilling to give in.
Christina clenched her teeth, knowing that Patty had indeed attacked Xandra because of her. The thought of an innocent and helpless kitten being harmed because of her made her heart ache with pain.
“All right. I apologize to you. It was my fault that Patty scratched you. I’m sorry. Can you return Patty to me now?”
After listening, Xandra revealed a sly smile and responded, “Although there wasn’t much sincerity, you lost this round.”
Christina didn’t have the mood to argue about winning or losing with her. She insisted once again, “Give Patty back to me.”
Xandra took out her phone and opened a photo. “Your cat is already dead!”
Christina stared at the gruesome images on her phone, and a wave of nausea washed over her. She was on the verge of vomiting.
“Why… Why did you kill Patty?”
Xandra frowned, as she couldn’t stand the pretense of innocence and kindness from Christina. There are no men around. Who is she trying to impress?
“A stinky wild cat is just as annoying as you, appearing out of nowhere, thinking that acting cute and adorable will make people like you. That hypocritical appearance is truly nauseating. Wouldn’t it be better if you were dead? The same goes for you. You should disappear from between me and Nathaniel!”
Christina lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes covering her expression, while her nose and eyes began to sting from tearing up.
Then a drop of crystal–clear tear rolled down her cheek.
Slap!
As the sound of a slap rang out, it seemed particularly loud to the ears.
Christina’s hand was burning, as she had used too much force.
Even so, she wasn’t able to calm down!
Xandra’s right cheek swelled up after being slapped, the pain causing tears to stream down her face.
The stinging sensation intensified, constantly reminding her of the fact that she had been hit.
When she finally realized what had happened, she was completely dumbfounded. “How dare you hit me?”
“Xandra, karma will catch up with you!”
Christina forcefully pushed her, causing the latter to fall completely onto the ground.
Xandra felt a little frightened, wondering what the other party would do if she suddenly went crazy and tried
to hurt her.
After getting up from the ground, she hastily ran away.
Christina stared at Xandra’s retreating figure, feeling discomfort all over. She wiped the tears from her eyes and turned away
After what happened to Patty, Christina felt down for a few days.
She had initially thought that this matter would pa** by after some time.
A few days later, a video made it to the trending list, and within just a few minutes, it had surpa**ed tens of millions of views.
Once the video was played, Christina could be seen slapping Xandra across the facé.
“So what if I steal your fiancé?”
Tears streamed down Xandra’s face, and her voice choked with emotion. “I’ve liked Nathaniel for many years, and we’ve liked each other. It’s just that I’ve been so busy with work recently, which is why you had the chance to step in!”
Christina’s face was grim. “So what if it is? Since you don’t have the time to accompany him, let me be the one to accompany him!”
Xandra’s face grew even sadder, giving off a pitiful look. “How could you say such a thing? Being a mistress is disgraceful. You’re so young, so you should be working honestly and meeting single men instead of stealing someone else’s man!”
Christina slapped her again. “If you have the capability, steal him back.”
Following that, Xandra covered her face and ran away.
The video footage ended there as well.
Christina looked at the scene with a puzzled expression on her face. It seemed so familiar, yet she had never said such words before!
After carefully reviewing the content again, it was indeed the location where she had gone to find Patty and had a conversation with Xandra that day.
However, the actual conversation was about Patty, and Nathaniel wasn’t even mentioned!
It was clear that this video had been edited and dubbed, altering its original content!
At that moment, the video had made it to the trending list, and basically everyone could watch it with their own eyes.
The comments in the comment section were simply brutal too.
Someone wrote: An unknown designer steals A list celebrity Xandra’s fiance?
Someone else commented: An outrageous mistress. How arrogant and repulsive!
Another netizen posted: I heard she’s a designer at Radiant Corporation! Let’s all denounce and boycott her.
Among such comments, some netizens even cursed Christina’s whole family relentlessly.
Meanwhile, some commenters‘ words were even more piercing than the tip of a knife, insulting Christina every chance they got.
Compared to the previous plagiarism accusation, the impact on the public this time greatly exceeded. Christina’s imagination.
Gina called and informed, “Christina, there are many people at the film set who want to confront you. You must not come here. I’ve arranged a car for you, so hurry back to downtown first!”
