Chapter 3369 A Rare Showdown
Jacinta gnashed her teeth together, and her blood boiled with anger when she witnessed Megan
receiving Pierce’s recognition.
How can Megan be better than me? She deliberately twisted my words and even called out my name.
Damn her! That arrogant and conniving b*tch should just die!
Pierce had long since grown irritated with the way Jacinta kept prattling non-stop, and the impatience
lining his features became all the more prominent.
He lifted his gaze and looked across the distance. To him, although Jacinta looked exquisite with her Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
flawless makeup, she was nothing but a rabid dog out to bite anyone who passed by. It seemed like
she wouldn’t rest until she bit Megan to death.
“Jacinta, you need to know when to quit. If you don’t even know something so basic, the connections
you’ve accumulated in the entertainment industry over the years might very well be destroyed one day.”
This was Pierce’s heartfelt advice to her, but to Jacinta, it sounded more like he was deliberately
humiliating her.
She balled her fists by her sides, then pointed a finger at Megan and turned to look at Pierce. With a
sneer, she said, “Mr. Hughes, you don’t need to worry about me, but I must tell you. It won’t be easy for
The Royal Wife to become a hit with this woman onboard your team!”
After spitting out these harsh words, Jacinta swiveled on her heels to leave, but Megan would never let
her off so easily. No matter what, she was going to announce the final results of the competition to her.
Hence, she called out, “Ms. Twinkle, don’t you want to know the competition’s final results? This is a
rare showdown between the two of us after all.”
Jacinta wasn’t the slightest bit inclined to know the results because she knew full well who the people
seated here were going to choose. In spite of that, there was no way she would admit that fact out loud.
Hence, she simply decided to leave to avoid hearing the results.
“You violated the rules first. There’s no way I’ll acknowledge the results of this competition.”
Megan studied her determined attitude and mentally scoffed. Wasn’t she oh-so eloquent earlier? Why
does she look completely defeated now?
With a disdainful sneer, she ignored Jacinta and turned to declare in a loud voice, “Regardless of
whether or not Ms. Twinkle acknowledges it, the show must go on. Not to mention,” Turning back to
Jacinta, she continued, “Except for you, no one else here has expressed their objection, so I think the
results of this competition should be announced no matter what. What do you all think?”
Judging from Jacinta’s reaction, everyone knew the reason she strongly refused to acknowledge the
results. They also knew that Megan was borrowing their support to knock Jacinta down a peg or two.
Some of them were reluctant to be brandished like a weapon by Megan, but with Pierce openly
protecting her, they were aware that one wrong word from them could mean the end of their careers.
Everyone lamented silently. It seemed like the two sisters were going to dominate half of the
entertainment industry from then on.
They were caught between a rock and a hard place, but they would rather get on Jacinta’s bad side
than Pierce’s. Hence, everyone played along with Megan even though they felt aggrieved.
Seeing everyone nodding their heads, a content smile formed on Megan’s lips and she said, “Alright,
then. Let’s vote by a show of hands. Please raise your hand if you think Jacinta’s acting was good.”
Suddenly, the place plunged into pin-drop silence. Everyone exchanged glances, but no one felt that
Jacinta’s acting skills were better than Megan’s.
“Wow, no one?” Megan emphasized on purpose.
With her back facing everyone, Jacinta’s face instantly turned ashen.
The reason she hadn’t left yet was because she still harbored a sliver of hope. If the difference was
only a couple of votes, she could still stand tall before Megan and admonish her for disrespecting a
senior in the entertainment industry. After all, it was a man she portrayed. Hence, it was a trickier
character to play.
However, no one in the audience raised their hands to vote for her. In a state of complete disbelief,
Jacinta whirled around to glare at everyone. The resentment in her eyes could almost burn a hole
through them.
Everyone was so startled by her gaze that they looked down and nursed their respective drinks, not
daring to meet her eyes at all.
Those present were all famous actors. Although it was almost the end of Jacinta’s golden era, her
popularity back then was very high, and she was even considered a big hit at that time. Thus, they
couldn’t afford to offend her.
