Chapter 419: Chapter 421: Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?

The turnover rate of artists in the entertainment industry is quicker than changing clothes. With new faces debuting every day and adolescence fleeting, if missed, it wouldn’t come around again.

And for students expelled from school, the film crew would hesitate more to hire them later on.

Gretchen Skerit was becoming angrier as she thought more. In her opinion, she was screwed over by Lillian White. In an instant, the friendly relationship they once shared took a back seat. When interests clashed, faces could turn faster than ever, turning allies into adversaries.

"What is the meaning of your words, Gretchen Skerit?"

Lillian failed in her scheme to make Joanna Lawrence suffer, and was in quite the anger. Gretchen’s words were pouring fuel on the fire, enraging her further.

She also turned around, her fury plain to see. "I’m not the only one who dislikes Joanna Lawrence. Don’t tell me that you don’t want to see her kicked out by that man. I merely did something you wanted to do, too. Don’t pretend to be innocent with me."

Gretchen fumed. "You made your own bed, don’t drag me into it. I did nothing."

Gretchen decided that once Joanna Lawrence returned to school, she would go to find her.

She trusted that, based on their three years as dorm mates, Joanna wouldn’t go too far.

In any case, the person who truly offended her was Lillian White, not Gretchen Skerit.

Having thought about it, Gretchen decided there and then to have a clean break with Lillian White, to prevent herself from being implicated by her any further.

"Lillian White, I suddenly realized that our ideas are very different. It’s not suitable for incompatible people to be friends. From now on, let’s keep our distance."

Lillian White’s eyes widened, her face a furious grayish-blue "Gretchen Skerit, you just want to sever ties with me now? You think Joanna Lawrence will let you off the hook if you do this? Don’t forget, you were also the one who left a comment cursing her under that post. If I told her about this, do you think you could easily wash your hands of it?"

"You dare!"

"Why shouldn’t I? Even if I’m going down, I’ll drag you down with me."

"Lillian White, you’re fucking despicable. You failed to steal her boyfriend, and now you want others to pay for your stupid actions?"

It came to the point where the pair, who were once as close as blood sisters, squabbled like sworn enemies, saying all kinds of harsh words.

In the car.

Joanna Lawrence looked at Ashton Heath’s cold profile, then let out a soft sigh and said: "Ashton Heath, don’t you have anything you want to ask me?"

In a gap during waiting for the traffic light.

The man beside her turned his head to glance at her, and a few seconds later, his voice coldly said, "Hmm, I do."

"Go ahead." Joanna Lawrence was prepared for it.

She didn’t believe he wouldn’t be curious about what Lillian White had just mentioned.

Though he trusted her and wouldn’t doubt if she did those things, at the very least he would ask, right?

Ashton Heath stared at her with his pitch-black eyes: "What’s the story behind what your roommate said? What’s really going on?"

Just as he finished asking, worried she might overthink, he tacked on: "I don’t mean to doubt you. I just want to know, what’s the truth behind the alleged forum post? Who’s maliciously trying to frame you?"

Joanna Lawrence knew he was not the kind of person who would easily believe rumors about others.

She also knew that he trusted her completely.

So, she wasn’t worried about Ashton Heath taking Lillian White’s words seriously while Lillian was spreading rumors.

And he didn’t disappoint her.

His attitude made Joanna Lawrence feel very at ease.

The feeling of being trusted unconditionally was really nice.
