Chapter 411

Sophia Evans knelt on the floor, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"It's all my fault. I'll do anything to make you forgive me," she said with a trembling voice. "My acting career depends on this face..."

She subtly adjusted her phone angle to capture the perfect shot.

With some editing, this video would become evidence of Vivian Laurent bullying her.

After years in the entertainment industry, Sophia knew exactly how to manipulate public opinion.

She had ruined countless competitors using the same tactics.

"Vivian, I'll go apologize right now. Please stop tormenting me," Sophia sobbed pitifully.

Vivian stared coldly at her. "You're the one who should apologize. Why does it look like I'm bullying you?"

She demanded Sophia kneel and apologize to Fiona Grandelle.

Whether Fiona forgave her was another matter.

"You're stepping on me so hard..." Sophia whimpered pathetically.

Vivian withdrew her foot, suspicious of Sophia's quick compliance.

Hurried footsteps suddenly approached from outside.

"Vivian!"

Ethan Roscente arrived looking travel-worn.

"What are you doing here?" Vivian arched an eyebrow.

"I heard you came to see her. I was worried." Ethan's gaze swept over the disheveled Sophia.

"About me or about her?"

Ethan didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Sophia.

The once-glamorous celebrity now looked utterly pathetic.

"How did it go?" he asked quietly.

"She agreed to apologize," Vivian said.

Ethan frowned.

Knowing Sophia, she would never admit wrongdoing so easily.

Seeing Ethan, Sophia burst into louder sobs.

"Ethan..." she choked out between tears.

The man who once doted on her now regarded her with terrifying coldness.

"I've already admitted my mistake. What more do you want?" Sophia sniffled. "Please stop hitting me..."

Ethan strode forward.

Sophia reached out expectantly.

Instead, he bent down and picked up her phone.

The screen lit up, showing an active recording.

Sophia's face turned deathly pale.
