A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 58 Trust Me On This

"But why is Julia so different from Jean? Jean is so gentle, considerate, and is always nice to us. She even doesn't talk loudly. Look at Julia..."

"That's right. She doesn't even support her own mother. I wonder what happened between them. I really pity Jean; her sister must have been bullied her a lot."

Before Julia entered the dressing room, she overheard the stylists gossiping about her relationship with Jean. It seemed that sister's gentle facade was working. Everyone spoke up for her and accused Julia to be the unworthy sister.

She smiled bitterly to herself. In the past, she used to care about what people thought about her before. She would have argued and explain to them that she wasn't that type of person. But now,

she decided to ignore what they were saying.

After enduring so much, she finally understood that their opinions didn't matter. It was more important that she still had people who trusted and cared for her.

Julia deliberately increased the sound of her footsteps as she opened the door. When she entered the room, the stylists had already dispersed. They glared at her with hostility.

Julia walked over to her chair and sat down. She arched an eyebrow at one of the girls. "Excuse me, can you please help me with my make-up?"

"Coming." The girl reluctantly walked behind her and hastily did her make-up.

The filming went smoothly that morning. Director Guo's frustration disappeared after he watched Julia's performance, a wide grin on his face.

"Okay, let's have lunch first and then we can continue to shoot in the afternoon." Director Guo was very pleased and smiled at her. "Julia, well done!"

"Thank you, Director Guo." Julia breathed a sigh of relief.

With a scoff, Jean walked up to her sister. She whispered in a low voice, "Since you've chosen to work here, you must be prepared. I won't let you go so easily."

"Don't worry." Julia gave Jean a hard stare. "I was prepared for the worst before I came here. If you thought you can bring me down with a trick like this, then it might not even be enough. Bring it on."

"Well, you just wait and see," Jean warned threateningly.

"Jean!" A voice interrupted while they were talking, it was Lisa. "Come eat with us."

"Coming." Jean sweetly smiled at her and turned to give Julia a mocking stare. "Looks like I have to leave, Julia. Don't forget to eat."

Without saying anything else, she turned around and headed towards Lisa.

When she arrived, Lisa gently grabbed her hand. "We can only eat take-out food when we're filming. The food from this restaurant is really good. Please give it a try."

She handed Jean a pair of new chopsticks. "I'll treat you to something else next time."

"Oh, you don't have to." Jean grinned and looked at her friend. "I'm already so lucky just to be able to eat with you. So many people must envy me."

"Why are you so sweet?" Lisa laughed melodically.

"I'm just telling the truth." Jean smiled. "You know, I'm always a fan of yours. I used to wonder if I would ever get to meet you and get an autograph. I didn't expect that we would become friends."

"Really?" Lisa giggled. "I didn't expect you to be a fan of mine as well."

"I guess I always get a special feeling around beautiful things," Jean said, grinning from ear to ear.

Lisa placed a piece of sweet and sour ribs on her plate, and insisted, "You must taste this. It's very delicious."

Jean nodded repeatedly. When she looked up to say something, she found Lisa looking at someone. She frowned and wondered what her friend was thinking about.

Jean followed the direction of Lisa's gaze and saw that she was looking at Julia. Concerned, she asked her, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Lisa sighed and looked as her with a bemused expression. "It is interesting that sharing a meal is the best way to get to know who our friends are. Since we are friends, we chat or joke with one another and gossip about the others when we have our breaks. Someone can only eat with her agent. It looks so pitiful."

Jean pursed her lips and stared at Lisa. "You..."

Seeing that Jean was about to say something, Lisa interrupted, "Don't be shy. Just say it."

"Well, why do you find Julia annoying?" Jean asked with a frown. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Do you even need to ask?" Lisa scoffed at her in disbelief. "Look at the comments on the Internet. I just hate hypocrites like her.

I'll say whatever I want to say. Although she's your sister, I would still like to advise you to stay away from her. You have helped her enough. In the future, you shouldn't contact her anymore or else you will be excluded like her. Do you understand?"

"But..." Jean stammered with her eyebrows knitted together. "She is my sister, and I can't bear to see her like this."

"You are too kind." Lisa shook her head and gave Jean a pointed look. "Do you think that a scheming woman like her will suffer any losses?"

She sighed and continued, "There are so many people in this industry. Your sister even sold herself to achieve her goals. She will succeed in the future. So, you shouldn't worry about her. You should focus on yourself instead. Do you understand?"

"Julia isn't so bad. When she was younger..." Jean explained, her face turning pale.

"Like you said, she was a child back then." Lisa let out a disappointed sigh. "Everyone changes after being in this industry. You've been abroad for so long that you barely know what's happening at home. Since I've experienced it first hand, you just have to trust me on this."
