Chapter 215
Third person's POV
Catherine stood at the door of the lakeside villa. Watching Patricia's car leave, she suddenly felt more relaxed than she had ever felt before.
She felt that happiness had come to her. Everything in life was perfect. She would hold all of these tightly and never let go.
On the contrary, Gina, who was in prison, was exceptionally miserable.
As a former female star, Gina was locked up in Sayreville's prison, and her days were gone.
She was wearing plain clothes. Her hair was disheveled, and her face without makeup was utterly pale. Even her eyes, which she was proud of, were dim at this moment, as if she had been teased by fate thousands of times.
Gina's prison life actually wasn't that bad. After all, she had her fair share of glory, and she was smarter than ordinary people.
The women Gina was in the same cell with were hooligans. They used to worship her, and they were very excited to be locked in the same cell as her, the big star. Naturally, they regarded Gina as their leader.
Gina was making empty promises to confuse these ignorant girls, stuffing them with all kinds of hope after being released.
"I was framed. That's why I'm here. Do you know how aggrieved I am? How can a kind person like me hurt someone? Someone jealous of my beauty did it to me. It's not fair!" Gina covered her cheeks and burst into tears.
The girls beside her quickly comforted her.
"Gina, stop crying. Of course, we believe that you are framed. The heroines you play are all kind and beautiful. We always wait in front of the computer to watch your series every day. You are the kindest woman in my eyes!"
"That's right. Who on earth is so malevolent? Who set you up?"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Gina wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and sobbed, "I couldn't afford to offend her. She was something. She used to be my younger sister. Later, she snatched my boyfriend away by pulling some tricks. She even gave birth to kids for my boyfriend and forced us to break up."
"Gina, is the vicious woman you're talking about Catherine? The woman that has recently been rumored to be dating Blake, the CEO of the Chavez Group?"
"Is it her? I've seen her photos. She's not as pretty as you. What was Mr. Chavez thinking?"
"Indeed! Gina, you are the most beautiful!"
Gina's vanity was satisfied. It was an indisputable fact that she was prettier than Catherine.
"I will help you after you're released. I have money, and you are young, pretty girls. I will support you behind the scenes and make you stars. What do you think?" Gina knew that she suffered a huge setback this time. It was a long shot for her if she wanted to return to showbiz. Therefore, she could only place her hope on the five young girls in front of her who were pretty good-looking.
"Really? Gina, are you really going to make us stars?" The girls were so excited that they almost fainted. They were the most popular girls in school with the worst grades. Of course, every one of them was very pretty.
Gina nodded and looked at them with sincerity. "Girls' groups are the new tendency. After you get out of here, I will pay for your mini-plastic surgery. You will be prettier, and you will be the future big stars!"
"Great! Gina, you are so nice. What was the bad woman thinking? How could she do this to you? When I become a big star, I will avenge you!"
"That's right, Gina. Don't worry! We won't let you suffer for nothing." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Looking at the indignant expressions on their faces, Gina was secretly complacent. Though she lost in the battle with Catherine, she didn't admit defeat. Gina thought of herself as a smart person, and she would never admit defeat.
"Great. I'm very touched by what you've said. I believe I've made the right choice. The showbiz will be yours. Don't let me down! We must show everyone who has hurt us that we can fight back," Gina incited the girls, stimulating them to be more ambitious and determined for the future. Gina was indeed the most popular star once.
"Gina, you think so highly of us. Can we make it?"
"She's right. We have always been the underclass. We don't dare to yearn for great things."
"Of course, Gina's words are the most inspiring words I have ever heard. I will work hard, and I hope Gina can help us!"
The girls were suffering from low morale. Looking at them, Gina scolded, "Pull yourself together! It's just the beginning, and you're already so depressed! Let me ask you something. Have you all had boyfriends before?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"OK then. Are you willing to accept whatever arrangements I have for the sake of your future?" Gina knew at a glance that these girls were very open-minded. They were nothing like those conservative, obedient girls.
The girls looked at each other and soon realized what Gina meant. All of them looked a little stunned.
"You don't want to?" Gina immediately raised her eyebrows. "Then forget it. I believe you know how complicated showbiz is. If you want to stand out, don't think of yourself as a person when you're striving, because your pride, your dignity, and your body will all be crushed by all sorts of things."
The girls were shocked. Obviously, they only saw the advantages brought by being in showbiz and ignored the dark side.
Though they had heard something bad about showbiz, they were inexperienced and had limited knowledge after all.
Gina snorted, "Forget it. You should go back to school and continue to be bullies. You don't have what it takes to be in showbiz."
"Gina, don't give up on us yet. It's not that we don't want to. It's just ... we don't have much experience!"
"That's right. We don't want to go back to school. We are just not cut out for it!"
"Help us. We will do as you say, as long as we can make it in showbiz!"
By taking a step down, Gina successfully got what she wanted. The girls were now determined. Looking at them, Gina nodded. "Alright. In fact, I have high hopes for you. You have great figures, and you are pretty. You are born to be stars. I was just giving you a bluff. Showbiz isn't that horrifying. I've been there, and I know pretty much everything. I promise I'll get you into showbiz."
In Sayreville prison, Gina formed her own troops.
