Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 622

So what if that other woman was beautiful and talented? In this cutthroat world, it was all about connections, not skills.

As Kiley reveled in her triumph, Victor made his grand entrance.

The venue erupted in warm greetings, a chorus of respect for the man who held so much sway in the industry.

But when the crowd caught sight of the woman trailing just behind him, a wave of shock rippled through the air.

Who was she?

Wasn’t that the same woman who’d been competing with Kiley for the second female lead? Hadn’t Kiley already secured the role? Why was Milly here, too?

Tatiana’s eyes widened as she quickly interjected, “Victor, what-“

But Victor’s cold gaze silenced her.

His voice was icy as he declared, “This is Milly, our second female lead.

”

“What?” Tatiana nearly shouted.

Eyes wide, she lowered her voice and whispered, “But, Victor, you.

Hadn’t he seen that video? How could he have possibly chosen Milly?

Victor’s expression remained stern, unyielding.

“Tatiana, I’ve actually been meaning to ask you something.

Why did you send me a doctored video?”

Tatiana’s heart dropped to her stomach.

Victor was a staunch admirer of Hermione and shared her disdain for any hint of injustice.

Her actions had clearly displeased him.

A shadow of anxiety crossed her face.

Had Victor uncovered the truth?

“Victor, this must be some kind of misunderstanding.

Was that video really doctored? I swear I didn’t know.

A friend sent it to me, and I recognized the person in it, so I forwarded it to you, worried that someone unworthy might join in our production,” she quickly said, her voice trembling slightly.

“I’m really sorry.

”

Milly, who had been silent until now, finally locked eyes with Tatiana.

Her voice was calm but carried a sharp edge.

“So it was you who sent a video to Victor to mislead him? I’m curious, where did you even replace that video? I doubt many people even know who I am.

”

The air grew thick with tension as those present began to piece together the situation.

Tsk tsk.

The dark underbelly of the entertainment industry was all too familiar to them.

Obviously, Tatiana had tried to sabotage Milly but had failed miserably.

Tatiana, a seasoned actress with numerous awards under her belt, resorted to setting up a newcomer? How small-minded could she be?

Tatiana felt the judgmental stares of the crowd burning into her, her anger simmering beneath the surface.

She clenched her fists, fighting the overwhelming urge to slap Milly right then and there.

How dare Milly confront her like that in public? Who did she think she was?

Tatiana seethed.

Plenty of actresses had been framed before, and they never dared speak up.

Did Milly think she was untouchable?

Swallowing her resentment, Tatiana forced a tight, apologetic smile as she said to Victor, “I’m truly sorry, Victor.

I’ll make sure to double-check everything before showing it to you next time.
