"Come on now, Michelle. You wanted proof and I’m giving you proof," she casually said. "So stand still and watch the screen. You can go ahead and defend yourselfter." Anastasia nced at Theodore Perez’s high table where he was starting to sweat buckets while firing her a re.


    She only smiled at him and then refocused back on the screen.


    <i>’Mr Perez, I heard you just arrived from Faznd</i>. <i>Your wife seems to be out of town, want me to keep youpany for the meantime?’ Michelle asked over the phone, biting her lips seductively as she reached for his hand, but the middle-aged man moved his fingers back a little. </i>


    <i>Michelle didn’t give up. </i>


    <i>’For the past few months, I’ve heard several things about you. Most of them being embarrassing things that can get a celebrity to get canceled," Mr Perez said, his eyes sizing her up.</i>


    <i>When his gazended on her chest, it lingered long enough for Michelle to notice. </i>


    <i>She smirked, taking the hint. She just needed to try a little harder and she would get him. </i>


    <i>’I was just framed. I’m innocent.’ She stretched out her hand for him to hold once again, and he didn’t intend to move his away anymore. ’I can satisfy your needs if you’re willing to do one thing for me.’</i>


    <i>Mr Perez chuckled, loving her confidence. </i>


    <i>’What are your demands?’</i>


    <i>’I want to win the uing best actress award.’</i>


    Michelle couldn’t believe her ears, but the evidence was in front of her, still ying.


    "You said you wanted evidence, and I gave you the evidence," Anastasia said.


    People started grumbling some words against Michelle,pletely forgetting she didn’t have an affair with herself.


    Unfortunately for her, in a situation like this, insults would go to the woman for being shameless and sleeping with a married man, and the man would bepletely forgotten.


    Not only that, Mr. Theodore Perez was a powerful man, and the audience knew better than to try to provoke such an influential, powerful man. So, all their insults went to Michelle.


    Besides, they’ve always hated the bitch and intended to make her pay for the price of what she and her family had done to Anastasia.


    "She’s lying!! These pictures and videos are all fake!" Michelle defended.


    "Are you saying I hired an artist who managed to have the same voice as you, Michelle? Please grow up. Everyone here can see that you slept with Mr. Theodore Perez to win this award," Anastasia used.


    Michelle subconsciously shook her head, denying all evidence disyed on the screen.


    Anastasia didn’t stop there.


    The screen continued to change with many pictures of Michelle taken with several recognizable influential men. It’s either at a restaurant or at the entrance of a hotel.


    Due to the thin clothing Michelle was wearing in all pictures, one wouldn’t need to think twice before concluding what she must have been doing with those influential men in those ces.


    "I’m innocent!!" Michelle screamed out loud, pulling her hair in frustration since no one wanted to believe her. Not like there was something worthying out of her mouth that was worth believing.


    Michelle started thrashing everywhere, her madness bing even more evident as her tears ruined her makeup—making her look like a walking dead.


    "Michelle, you know you can’t use such ways to try to win an award. We could sue you." A woman, d in a fancy and enchanting dress stood up and spoke. "You should be ashamed of what you’ve done."


    "There’s nothing for me to be ashamed of," Michelle defended.


    The woman signaled the security to take Michelle away, which was quite difficult since she kept on thrashing, demanding to be free.


    Unfortunately, she couldn’t take on either one of those bulky men with her fragile body.


    Once Michelle was out of sight, Anastasia returned to her seat near Martha. The stage was cleaned and prepared for the resumption of the award show.


    "So sorry for the interruption," the emcee apologized.


    After a few minutes, the stage was cleared and everyone pretended no bug tried to destroy their evening like she did a year ago.


    "And the winner is..."


    Three actresses were nominated for the best actress category. They were Martha Ginelles, Michelle Harrison, and Anastasia Wace.


    Since Michelle was disqualified, the award belonged to one of the two. And the fans couldn’t wait to hear which of their favorite two actresses was going to win the award.


    "Martha Ginelles!"
