SPOILED GIRL, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 19

This time, Nora wanted to try her luck again. She wanted to know how much love remained in David’s heart for her.

“Please be sure to get proper rest.

Although I am sending you away, I guarantee you that Darren will not find you. As for Rita… I will ask her to apologize to you!”

A thought flashed through David’s mind as he gave Nora an ambiguous answer and left the room.

In the monitoring room, David carefully observed Nora’s expressions and reactions again and again, but nothing seemed out of order.

“Watch her closely and keep me informed if you find anything wrong!” David ordered his subordinates.

‘I hope that I am wrong about her…’ David comforted himself in his mind.

Meanwhile, at SL Jewelry.

Joyce picked up the newspaper in disappointment. Emily had just come back to work but she quickly noticed Joyce’s glum expression and said, “What’s wrong? You look so upset. What happened?”

“Director Emily… Why would Ray get involved with Dina again?”

Joyce complained, her voice full of disdain and resentment.

‘Dina?’ Emily repeated the name in her mind.

Emily took a moment to remember who Joyce was talking about as she had not heard that name for a long time.

Maintaining a casual tone, Emily asked, “How do you know that?”

Joyce handed the newspaper over to Emily, and judging by the look in Joyce’s eyes, it seemed safe to assume that Joyce was utterly disappointed.

The first thing that caught Emily’s eyes was a picture of Ray and Dina, but what ran a chill of horror up her spine was the title, written in bold letters—

“BREAKING NEWS! DEPRAVED ACTRESS REKINDLED WITH YOUNG ACTOR WHO IS STUDYING ABROAD!”

‘Rekindled?

Really?

Is this supposed to be a joke? These journalists must have run out of things to write about, huh?’ Emily shook her head in mock despair.

Emily folded the newspaper and placed it in front of Joyce. “Oh, please, as if we need more useless gossip in our life! Come on, we have work to do, okay?” Emily said with a smile.

“Yes, Director Emily!”

Joyce nodded her head and stuck out her tongue to make a face at Emily.

Emily went back to her own office and took out her design drafts. However, she could not concentrate on her work because her mind kept bringing up Ray and Dina’s picture in the newspaper.

‘Ray just went abroad not too long ago. How come he is back so soon?’ Emily wondered.

Suddenly, a phone call broke her out of her reverie. Emily glimpsed at the screen of her phone and lo and behold, the caller was Ray. ‘Speak of the devil!’ Emily thought in her mind.

“Hello, Emily, I would like to see you!” Ray decided to speak without reservation and his voice sounded like he was trying to be funny.

“Stop joking and get to the point, please.” Emily was curious to know what this was about.

Since they had already talked about everything the last time they were together, Emily decided not to be vague with Ray.

Ray was a little surprised by the directness of her response and asked, “How did you know that I have something to say?”

“What else could it be? Do you really just want to see me?

Then, I am afraid I will have to disappoint you because I do not want to see you,” she answered with smile.

‘Jacob is such a jealous man. If he found out that I went to see Ray as soon as he came back to Z Country, I would never hear the end of it. Oh, my God!’ Emily thought in her mind.

“Did you read the news about me?” Ray asked in a gloomy voice.

Ray’s company had been planning to gain some publicity by announcing Ray’s return from abroad, and Brook had also negotiated a deal with the press in advance, a deal that would improve Ray’s public image. Unfortunately, much to everyone’s chagrin, the news that got published was about his fling with Dina.

As if that was not bad enough, once the news reached the public, it became virtually impossible to cover it up.

“Yes, I did. But I really do not know what your company was thinking. Why would they put you and Dina together again? This will not help you at all,” she answered.

Emily could not help but feel puzzled over Dina’s involvement with Ray. She felt bad for Ray. He had been able to gain some favor from the media because he was studying abroad, but after today’s news, there was no telling what would happen to his reputation.

“It wasn’t the company’s doing. And we could not even cover it up.” Ray’s eyebrows furrowed deep and his face darkened.

‘Nobody knew that I had come back to Z Country. How is it that I coincidentally ran into Dina right at that moment?’ Ray thought in his mind.

He did not believe that it was all just a coincidence. The picture on the newspaper was not from the media which Brook cooperated with. So, it must mean that someone else was behind all of this. The culprit must have been waiting for Ray in the club and arranged the encounter between Ray and Dina.

“Maybe it was Dina?” Ray murmured under his breath.

Emily was shocked to hear his words. “That is impossible. After what happened last time, Jacob buried Dina’s career, or at least whatever was left of it.

Moreover, she had many enemies in the entertainment circle, so when they found her in a vulnerable spot, they all came to take their revenge on Dina. Therefore, I do not think Dina would have the power or influence to pull off something like this!” said Emily.

Ray agreed with Emily because he knew about Dina’s personality and how she mistreated people. In fact, it was because of her bad attitude that she’d failed to find work anywhere else and had become the thing she disdained the most—a prostitute.

“So, I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Dina used me to improve her public image this time. It seems as though she wants to come back to the entertainment circle, which is why I believe that she will try to harm you next. Be careful from now on,” said Ray.

Dina was the kind of person who would seek revenge for the smallest of grievances. Ray was not too worried because he had a large number of fans who would eventually forget about this news as time went by. Dina, however, was a different case.

“Okay, got it. Thank…”

Before Emily could even finish her words, Joyce barged into her office with a laptop.

“Di… Di… Director Emily! Oh, my God!”

Joyce’s panicking frightened Emily. She quickly covered her phone with one hand and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Dina just announced that she would be doing a public interview to talk about her relationship with Ray. She even tried to insult you by indirectly implying that you were the one who broke up their relationship!”

‘Has Dina finally lost her mind?’ Emily was dumbstruck.

She could not believe what was happening and took over Joyce’s laptop to watch Dina’s announcement.

Meanwhile, Ray, on the other end of the call, also opened his computer.

The video showed Dina crying hysterically, trying to move the people who were not yet aware of the truth.

“Ray and I were from the same company. I admired him for a long time, even though he did not reciprocate my feelings. However, I was the only girl with him during all these years. He would tolerate my temper and would give me water whenever I was shooting a film. He even helped me when I was being threatened by some directors. We were practically a couple, except we had not taken the last step…”

The last step… Dina’s words were ambiguous enough to mislead people. “He really is like an angel and we really had each other in our hearts… Until one day, when a woman called Emily came into our lives and destroyed everything. She has her own family and children but she still chased after Ray everywhere.

She sent him flowers and gifts. She used whatever methods she could find to steal Ray away from me!”

Then, Dina took out a couple of photos from an envelope. Most of the photos had been taken when Emily had been negotiating the contract with Ray.

However, these pictures had been shot from an angle that made it look like Emily and Ray were very close to each other, leaving much to people’s imagination.

“Miss Dina, are these photos real?” a journalist asked out of curiosity.

Dina wiped away her tears, and then nodded her head firmly. Then, she pulled out a laptop beside her and said, “If you do not believe these photos, I also have some videos.”
