Win Back the Heiress 194

Chapter 194 Admit It 

No one expected Wendy to bring that up in public, and the crowd instantly erupted, many people looking on with eager anticipation. 

Nancy narrowed her eyes. 

Gideon said, “It looks like Wendy’s trying to openly pressure Hillary.” 

“Exactly. It seems like that’s her style,” Nancy replied coolly. 

At that moment, the number of live viewers for the award night shot up into the tens of millions. Countless people flocked in for the drama. 

Onstage, Wendy stood with teary eyes as she stubbornly said, “I know I’m just a small-time celebrity and can’t compete with someone like Hillary, an A-list celebrity, but I don’t want to give up on fighting for my rights. 

“I know tonight is the only chance I’ll ever get, so I want Hillary to apologize to me now and promise she’ll never covet my boyfriend again!” 

Every eye turned to Hillary. 

She sat upright, her alluring features perfectly composed, not a flicker of emotion crossing her face. 

The host, thrilled at the juicy drama, jumped in. “Since Wendy put it that way, Hillary, do you have anything you’d like to say?” 

A staff member handed Hillary the mic. 

She said flatly, “Of course, I have something to say. Hanson’s not even my type at all.” 

Her arrogant tone left the venue silent for a second. 

“Wow, Hillary’s badass!” 

“Badass? More like fake. She talks like she’s above it, but let’s be real here. She was the one who knocked on his hotel room door!” 

“Exactly! We all saw the photos. If she didn’t like him, why’d she go in the first place?” 

Sneers and jeers swirled around Hillary. 

Wendy bit her lower lip pitifully. “Hillary, no one’s going to believe you if you say that now. Just apologize to me and let this go. Can’t you?” 

“No.” Hillary smirked, her voice dripping with disdain as she said, “Why would I ever want your boyfriend? I only went to that hotel because your director invited me. 

 

“Out of courtesy, I agreed to go since we’d worked together before. And for the record, it wasn’t just me and Hanson in that room.” 

The director immediately stood up and said, “I never went!” 

Hillary turned her gaze on him, and he quickly dropped his head, feeling guilty. 

Wendy burst into tears. “Hillary, the director already said he wasn’t there. That night, it was only you and my boyfriend in that hotel room. Why won’t you just admit it?” 

The crowd couldn’t help but pity her. 

“Hillary’s awful. Does she think she’s untouchable just because she’s an A-list celebrity? Even if she’s an award-winning actress, that doesn’t give her the right to steal someone else’s boyfriend!” 

“She’s so stubborn, still refusing to apologize.” 

The live stream was exploding with comments. 

“Poor Wendy. Damn, I wish someone would just take Hillary down!” 

“Let’s boycott Hillary! Boycott every show and movie she’s in!” 

“She’s so shameless! Things have gone this far, and she still won’t admit it!” 

“Unbelievable. She must think denying it makes it untrue, but people aren’t blind!” 

Both in the hall and online, the hostility toward Hillary peaked. 

Wendy could sense it all, and the corners of her lips curled in a barely visible smile. 

After tonight, no one would watch Hillary’s shows anymore. That meant Natalie and Wendy’s drama series would rise to the top of the charts again. Wendy’s share of the profits would be huge. In fact, they’d be more than enough to crush Nancy and secure the inheritance. 

Soon, she would be named heir to Lidell Group and be able to start her own entertainment company. She’d never have to grovel to anyone again. 

The thought made her head swim with giddy happiness. 

“I’d really like to know what kind of man it takes to make someone who once rejected me change her mind.” A man’s voice cut through the air. 

Skylar rose to his feet with a microphone in hand, his icy gaze locked on Wendy, who was standing under the spotlight.
