Jilted Bride 61

Chapter 61

Sharon glanced at Emily, who showed no intention of defending her. Emily's tear-streaked makeup made her look utterly pitiful.

Meanwhile, Sharon found herself labeled as unprofessional and rusty from her long absence from acting. It dawned on Sharon that she had fallen right into Emily's trap.

The crew members, seemingly unfazed by such drama, cast sympathetic looks towards Emily.

They figured Sharon, riding high on her recent box office success, surely couldn't stand playing second fiddle to some fresh face.

In her dressing room, Emily studied her reflection, fingertips tracing the red imprint on her cheek. A smirk tugged at her lips. "Did you get the shots?" she asked, eyes never leaving the mirror.

Tracy nodded. "Don't worry, Emily. They're already on Twitter. Being a diva during rehearsals and now physically attacking the lead actress on set? Let's see her try to salvage her reputation after this."

Emily smirked. She couldn't believe Sharon had the nerve to challenge her. The Valentine's Day release would have been a smash hit if not for her, she thought bitterly. Instead, it had limped to a measly 1.5 million dollars opening. Plus, Sharon had hogged the limelight in On a Snowy Day, relegating Emily to little more than background scenery. The internet had torn her to shreds.

Now it was her time for some payback.

"Alright, hurry up and wipe this stuff off my hand," Emily said, holding out her palm. It was smeared with a carefully prepared red dye, its not-quite-red hue looking remarkably like real blood.

As Tracy cleaned her hand, Emily admired the fake slap mark on her face. She felt quite clever. "Buy a few trending topics," she instructed. "Let it simmer on social media for a bit. In about an hour, we'll release a statement to clear things up. We'll say something like 'Ms. Campbell is actually a very professional actor."

Due to this staged incident, Emily's scenes for the day were postponed.

Meanwhile, online discussions about Sharon's alleged bad attitude and diva behavior were heating up.

Online reactions poured in, with one user commenting: [There's a reason she's not famous.]
