Chapter 289: Plot Twist
Translator: 549690339
What was coming, eventually came.
Everyone experienced an inexplicable surge of excitement.
Between these two women, would it be war or reconciliation? The resolution lay in a moment.
Xia Yangyang finally spoke, “Sister Bingbing once said that if I could win Best Actress, she would quit the entertainment industry. I hope she will keep her promise.”
The entire venue erupted in fervor once more.
It seemed Xia Yangyang had finally decided to wage war.
She gave no regard to Shen Manbing’s dignity, and at this moment, she was directly initiating a coup.
Everyone had to admire Miss Xia; not merely being content with her achievement, she was aggressively pushing her opponent.
No retreat was given to Shen, the queen of the industry.
With all eyes on the two.
If Shen, the queen, gave no response, she would inevitably be regarded as a coward who broke her promise.
But if Shen was willing to bow down to the bet and quit the entertainment industry, the loss would be too great for her.
The camera had now switched to Shen Manbing.
The big screen at the back of the stage displayed a standoff between the two.
One cold and alluring, the other calm.
Silence, but with an aura of lethal hostility.
And just as everyone was wondering what the next move would be.
A video suddenly appeared on the large screen behind.
The video was clear, showing Shen Manbing and Xia Yangyang in their current ceremony attire.
The conversation between the two was clearly audible.
The first voice was Shen Manbing’s.
“So, you intentionally stepped on my dress on the red carpet to humiliate me publicly?”
Xia Yangyang’s voice also came through, “You brought it upon yourself, Shen Manbing. To others, you may be a diva, but in my eyes, you’re nothing.”
“Xia Yangyang, you actually did something . Also, was the crazed fan who almost pushed me down a staircase a few days ago also your doing?”
“I don’t know what you mean?”
“Xia Yangyang, stop pretending! Security at the Shichuan Building is rigorous, not even half a fly could sneak in. I investigated the elevator footage. You went upstairs with him in the same elevator. Xia Yangyang, you tried to murder me, didn’t you?”
“Baseless accusations, you have no proof against me.”
“Xia Yangyang, I know what you did, and I will not let this go easily. Remember what you said—if you didn’t win Best Actress, you would leave the entertainment industry.”
“I might as well tell you, I’ve already secured today’s Best Actress. Let’s see who will be the one leaving the entertainment industry—it’s you or me.”
This conversation was a recent confrontation between Xia Yangyang and Shen Manbing in the dressing room.
Clearly visible. Even the time on the footage, it couldn’t have been faked.
Everyone was nearly stunned.
This was too dramatic.
The entire auditorium was in uproar.
“So she really did step on the Diva’s dress on purpose to publicly humiliate her.”
“The previous assault by the Diva’s crazed fan—could it be that Xia Yangyang was really the premeditated murderer? How can we allow a murderer to be crowned Best Actress?”
“Look at how certain she is, that shows she must have known she would win the Best Actress. So, there must be something under the table. I can’t believe that the highly reputable SH Film Awards has been compromised.”
No one knows who shouted it first.
“We refuse to accept Xia Yangyang as Best Actress! She is not worthy!”
Then other people began to join in, shouting: “No acceptation! No acceptation!!”
The host didn’t expect such a thing to happen and for a moment, didn’t know how to handle the situation!
