Chapter 1130


    No one would have thought they''d bump into each other under these circumstances.


    Crysti was still recovering from her injuries, but she didn''t want to be cooped up in the hospital.


    There was a celebration party today where Chloe nned to officially announce her joining Starlight


    International, so she tagged along.


    Despite being wheelchair-bound and somewhat immobile, Chloe had Miles doll her up anyway. Her


    gorgeous forehead was on full disy, contacts recing her usual sses.


    Her beautiful features stood out even more now.


    Dressed in a white dress with a thin nket covering her legs, Miles'' meticulous styling made her


    lookpletely different from before.


    If she weren''t sitting in a wheelchair, if it weren''t for her somewhat familiar eyes, Philip wouldn''t


    have recognized her. He would never believe that the woman before him was the same Crysti who


    used to follow him around.


    Surprise shed in Philip''s eyes, his body stiffening slightly.


    Melinda, quick to notice his reaction, gritted her teeth and gave Philip a hard tug.


    Crysti nced at Philip, her gaze lingering on his arm where Melinda was holding on to him, before


    shifting her gaze away. She was acting colder than a stranger.


    Cicely stood by, witnessing Crysti''s demeanor, her eyes slightly shifting. Pretending to be


    strangers? A smirk tugged at her lips before her face turned serious again.


    "Let''s go in, she said nonchntly. Her assistant pushed Crysti past Philip, with Cicely following


    behind calmly.


    From the same elevator they came out of, two more people emerged.

    The man was tall and handsome with a solemn face, and the woman was stunning, resembling a


    goddess.


    Philip''s gaze followed Crysti, even after they had long left, he couldn''t take his eyes off her. Seeing


    this, Melinda was boiling with rage!


    Upon entering the hotel, they were met with sneers and mockery. Now seeing Crysti, who appeared


    to be apletely different person, rendered Philip speechless.


    Everyone''s attitude towards her changed overnight, even Philip. It was all because of her


    shameless father!


    Crysti purposefully dolled herself up today, just to rub it in her face!


    Despite the sudden turn of events, how could she have epted it so quickly? From heaven to hell,


    and now the only person she could rely on, Philip, was acting this way!


    Even though Philip eventuallyposed himself, Melinda was still fuming.


    Upon seeing Crysti at the banquet hall, all the artists who used to follow her were now swarming


    around her.


    "Crysti, congrattions on signing with Starlight International: "| heard you were personally invited


    by Ms. Summers, Crysti. You''re on fire! Don''t forget about us. Ms. Summers has such a sharp eye!"


    "| heard that Ms. Summers has already arranged a role that fits you perfectly. You''ll be a star in no


    time”


    Crysti just politely smiled in response.


    In thispetitive environment, it''s hard to tell what''s real and what''s not. Faced with all these fair-


    weatherpliments, she could only respond with a polite smile.


    She didn''t enjoy being fawned over. If she did, she wouldn''t have left home to follow Philip, taking


    insults and doing all the grunt work.


    But what she didn''t care for was something others cherished and enjoyed. Melinda watched her


    from a distance, grinding her teeth in anger.


    At that moment, some people noticed the pair andpared them to Crysti, their faces turning


    weird. Crysti inevitably saw the two of them, a coldugh in her heart and a smirk on her face.


    Her subtle expression ignited Melinda''s rage. She marched up to Crysti''s wheelchair, blocking her


    path.


    Crysti frowned, looking at the two people in front of her, her gaze icy and piercing, causing Philip to


    feel a bit disoriented.


    "Crysti..”


    “What do you want?" Before Philip could finish his sentence, Crysti cut him off with a cold tone.


    Seeing Crysti''s cold and disdainful attitude, Melinda sneered. "What''s with the attitude, Crysti?


    Being signed by Starlight International wasn''t something to be proud of.


    Your cold and condescending attitude, what''s the deal? Is it because Philip dumped you? He gave


    you a chance and you didn''t have the ability to make it big. On top of that, you''re a good-for-nothing


    who can''t help him in any way. Have you looked in the mirror? What gives you the right to act so


    superior? Oh, you think you''re amazing now because you''ve changed your image? You''re still a


    useless waste!"


    Melinda grew more and more agitated as she spoke, venting all her pent-up anger from her family''s


    bankruptcy on Crysti.


    Crysti watched as Melinda blocked her path and started making a scene, gritting her teeth. She was


    never one to have thick skin. A couple of whispers behind her back would make her blush, not to


    mention now, being yelled at in public.


    Everyone''s attention was now on them. Philip, being a man who valued his dignity, tried to pull


    Melinda away. "What are you doing!"


    "What? | called her a good-for-nothing. Was | wrong?"


    Philip didn''t respond, seemingly agreeing with her.


    After a moment of silence, Melinda sneered, "See, you think so too”


    "That''s enough, stop fighting. Everyone is watching us!"


    "Let them watch! Didn''t they invite me here to humiliate me?


    Isn''t this grand event meant to announce Crysti''s uing sess? Let everyone watch and see


    when Crysti will make it big!"


    Crysti mped her mouth shut, eyeing the woman in front of her who was on the verge of losing it.


    A cold smirk suddenly appeared on her frosty face.


    “Me, good for nothing? Melinda, how exactly did you manage to stand your ground in the


    entertainment industry with your so-called real talents and skills?"
