Chapter 3369 A Rare Showdown

Jacinta gnashed her teeth together, and her blood boiled with anger when she witnessed Meganreceiving Pierce's recognition.

How can Megan be better than me? She deliberately twisted my words and even called out myname. Damn her! That arrogant and conniving b*tch should just die!

Pierce had long since grown irritated with the way Jacinta kept prattling non-stop, and theimpatience lining his features became all the more prominent.

He lifted his gaze and looked across the distance. To him, although Jacinta looked exquisite with herflawless makeup, she was nothing but a rabid dog out to bite anyone who passed by. It seemed likeshe wouldn't rest until she bit Megan to death.

“Jacinta, you need to know when to quit. If you don't even know something so basic, theconnections you've accumulated in the entertainment industry over the years might very well bedestroyed one day.”

This was Pierce's heartfelt advice to her, but to Jacinta, it sounded more like he was deliberatelyhumiliating her.

She balled her fists by her sides, then pointed a finger at Megan and turned to look at Pierce. With asneer, she said, “Mr. Hughes, you don't need to worry about me, but I must tell you. It won't be easyfor The Royal Wife to become a hit with this woman onboard your team!”

After spitting out these harsh words, Jacinta swiveled on her heels to leave, but Megan would neverlet her off so easily. No matter what, she was going to announce the final results of the competitionto her.

Hence, she called out, “Ms. Twinkle, don't you want to know the competition's final results? This is arare showdown between the two of us after all.”

Jacinta wasn't the slightest bit inclined to know the results because she knew full well who thepeople seated here were going to choose. In spite of that, there was no way she would admit thatfact out loud. Hence, she simply decided to leave to avoid hearing the results.

"You violated the rules first. There's no way I'll acknowledge the results of this competition.”

Megan studied her determined attitude and mentally scoffed. Wasn't she oh-so eloquent earlier?Why does she look completely defeated now?

With a disdainful sneer, she ignored Jacinta and turned to declare in a loud voice, “Regardless ofwhether or not Ms. Twinkle acknowledges it, the show must go on. Not to mention,” Turning backto Jacinta, she continued, “Except for you, no one else here has expressed their objection, so I thinkthe results of this competition should be announced no matter what. What do you all think?"Judging from Jacinta’s reaction, everyone knew the reason she strongly refused to acknowledge theresults. They also knew that Megan was borrowing their support to knock Jacinta down a peg ortwo.

Some of them were reluctant to be brandished like a weapon by Megan, but with Pierce openlyprotecting her, they were aware that one wrong word from them could mean the end of theircareers.

Everyone lamented silently. It seemed like the two sisters were going to dominate half of theentertainment industry from then on.

They were caught between a rock and a hard place, but they would rather get on Jacinta's bad sidethan Pierce's. Hence, everyone played along with Megan even though they felt aggrieved.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, a content smile formed on Megan's lips and she said,"Alright, then. Let's vote by a show of hands. Please raise your hand if you think Jacinta’s acting wasgood.”

Suddenly, the place plunged into pin-drop silence. Everyone exchanged glances, but no one feltthat Jacinta's acting skills were better than Megan's.

“Wow, no one?” Megan emphasized on purpose.

With her back facing everyone, Jacinta’s face instantly turned ashen.

The reason she hadn't left yet was because she still harbored a sliver of hope. If the difference wasonly a couple of votes, she could still stand tall before Megan and admonish her for disrespecting asenior in the entertainment industry. After all, it was a man she portrayed. Hence, it was a trickiercharacter to play.

However, no one in the audience raised their hands to vote for her. In a state of complete disbelief,Jacinta whirled around to glare at everyone. The resentment in her eyes could almost burn a holethrough them.

Everyone was so startled by her gaze that they looked down and nursed their respective drinks, notdaring to meet her eyes at all.

Those present were all famous actors. Although it was almost the end of Jacinta's golden era, herpopularity back then was very high, and she was even considered a big hit at that time. Thus, theycouldn't afford to offend her.
