Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 526 The Fool

Evelina set down her powder compact and said softly, "Well, it's still better than keeping company with an old man."

This comment enraged Tracy.

Jasper was the young and handsome CEO. He was indeed a far better prospect than the deputy head Tracy had been cozying up to.

It was the first time anyone had dared to talk back to her so blatantly since her rise to fame. Tracy felt Evelina had completely disregarded her.

Tracy sneered coldly, and her vein was pulsing on her forehead. A flash of malice crossed her eyes. She reached out, grabbed Evelina's hair, and yanked forward with such force that Evelina's entire body lurched. "Arghhh!"

Evelina cried out in pain.

Jenny and Shania were standing nearby. They rushed forward and shouted, "Tracy, what do you think you're doing?"

Tracy didn't spare them a glance. With her other hand, she slapped Evelina's face and chided, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me so rudely? In terms of experience, you're the lowest in the company. In terms of status, you have no right to even speak in front of me. When I won the New Actor Award, you weren't even on the radar. If you're going to play the innocent, then commit to it. What's the point of backing down halfway? Since you can't seem to do things right, let me teach you how!" Tracy let go and flung Evelina aside.

The force of the throw was immense; her fingers were tangled with strands of Evelina's hair, which she discarded with disgust.
