Salome stood there, stunned by Lucinda’s audacious words. After a while, she gritted her teeth and locked her gaze onto Lucinda. With unsteady steps, she reached down and grasped the dagger lying on the floor with her other hand.
“I’m going to take your life! I’ll kill you!”
Just as she was about to take hold of the knife’s handle, Lucinda’s high-heeled shoe came down on the blade, preventing Salome from lifting it.
“Salome, your current predicament is all because of your own choices.
If you had just pursued an acting career and worked hard, you could have had a promising future in the entertainment industry.”
Tears streamed down Salome’s cheeks.
Lucinda went on with a sneer.

“But you took the wrong path. You chose a dead end. You took the initiative to hurt Neolle even though you were aware that she was in a relationship with Delavan. You intentionally came into his life as a mistress. Did you really believe Delavan would come to your aid if anything happened to you?
He’s struggling to protect himself. How could he possibly care about your own situation? Both of you are despicable scumbags.”
Salome teetered on the brink of a breakdown. She erupted in hysterical shouts.
“No! Nonsense! It’s all Noelle’s fault. We were all part of the team.
Why did she have the chance to take part in the play alone? Why did she have an individual interview when we participated in the event together? It’s not fair!”
Wearing an expressionless face, Lucinda responded, “Noelle is an A-list artist at Angle Intl. She’s the talent the company supports. The contract you signed is different from hers from the beginning. Your path was destined to be different from the start, but you failed to recognize it.”
Seated on the floor, Salome appeared desperate.
“No, it’s not my fault… It’s not…”
With a cold gaze, Lucinda looked around and declared, “As everyone witnessed, she attempted to harm both Noelle and me with that knife.
Can someone please call the police and have her taken away immediately? Let’s not let her pollute this place any Longer.”
“I’ll do it! I’ll call the police,” someone immediately volunteered.

Startled, Salome finally snapped back to her senses.
She had fallen right into Lucinda’s trap.
If her attempt to kill Noelle had simply failed, she might have faced a maximum of five years in jail. However, if she was convicted of attempting to murder Lucinda, her future would be in jeopardy.
Graham was Lucinda’s brother, and Nathan was her fiance.
These two men wouldn’t just let her off the hook if she got a jail sentence for trying to hurt Lucinda.
“Miss Simmons, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. Give me a shot at making things right. Please, don’t throw me behind bars! Please!”
