The Heiress Strikes Back

311 Yumi Strikes Back

Yumi sat on her knees.

The situation seemed terrible. She was trembling and couldn’t say a word.

“I remember that the color of this lipstick is what Anna often uses, right?” There were whispers from the crowd.

“Why is it always so noisy here?” The director of the casting selection walked over.

A girl pointed at Yumi and said loudly, “Mr. Xander, I suspect that Yumi is being bullied!”

Mr. Xander looked at the mirror. “A blood letter? Are you crazy? Bullying people by writing such words?”

“Mr. Xander, this looks like lipstick. From the color, it’s something Anna often uses.” Xenia quickly put on a humble and polite expression to help Yumi out of the situation.

“And what is this?” Xander couldn’t help but ask as he glanced at the torn cloth beside his hand.

“Those are Yumi’s clothes from the last competition.” Whitney walked out. “Mr. Xander, I’ve already checked the corridor for surveillance cameras, but I still want to know what’s going on.”

Xander glanced at Whitney’s serious face and pondered for a moment. “Call Anna over immediately.”

A moment later, Anna walked in. She thought that the director was looking for her for something; she didn’t expect to be shocked by the words on the mirror.

“It’s not me! Am I crazy to do such a thing? Although Yumi made things difficult for me in the last round and even pretended not to see me, we haven’t crossed paths since the competition ended! Besides, am I the kind of girl who will bully others in the director’s heart?”

“Then, is this lipstick yours?” Sharon took out the lipstick and shook it in front of Anna.

“This... How could this be... This lipstick is almost used up, so I casually threw it into the trash can when I was packing up. If I did it, why would I have left the lipstick at the scene? It’s too obvious!”

As if she didn’t believe her, Whitney kept staring at Anna.

“Maybe... someone wanted to frame me for this!” Anna kept defending herself.

“You mean that if you did it, your methods would be so subtle that nobody would notice?”

Anna didn’t even know how to explain it to Whitney. “No! No... I mean I’ve never bullied anyone.”

“In that case, the director and the production crew are all here today. When Yumi recovers, we’ll discuss why she fainted last time. What do you think?”

Whitney looked at Anna’s green face and couldn’t help but reveal what had happened last time.

Everyone was surprised. They didn’t expect a girl like Anna to do such a thing.

“Are they telling the truth?” Mr. Xander’s face darkened. I had been wondering who to eliminate between Yumi and Anna, but I didn’t expect this girl to do such a thing at this critical moment.

“I... I didn’t! I didn’t threaten her. I just casually said a few words, but I didn’t expect her reaction to be so big. I explained to the staff that I didn’t know her illness was so serious, so I joked with her. Who would’ve thought she would faint over such a small matter?” Anna bit her lower lip and shivered.

“Joking? You still think that destroying someone’s important thing is a ‘small matter’ and a joke, right?” Yumi stood up slowly, her face pale. “You actually told everyone that I fainted because my endurance wasn’t good enough... Do you think you can distort the truth just because I fainted on the bed? I targeted you in the last round because I didn’t want to argue, but what about you?”

“My friends know how much effort I’ve put into the casting selection. I’ve always admired everyone and feel that it takes a lot of courage to stand on the stage. What reason do you think I have to ruin my hard work? And what about you? Do you have any objections to the crowd’s vote by constantly slandering and bullying me?”

Anna was shocked to see Yumi say this. This isn’t right! This isn’t right! Yumi wasn’t like this in the past. She has always been submissive, and she doesn’t even dare to look at the other contestants. How could she say such things so seriously and loudly now, making everyone look at me... Also, why is that woman standing there...

Anna looked at the other contestant in the same group, who only smiled faintly.

“Anna?” Mr. Xander no longer believed her...

“Do you have any evidence? You’re the one who framed me, right? And your dirty trash clothes-I haven’t even touched them. What nonsense are you talking about!?”
