Deanna opened her eyes slowly. She tried to get up despite the unbearable headache. She was surprised to find that someone had helped her change and she looked quite charming in the new dress.
That handsome man I met yesterday...
"You're awake?" The man's voice sounded good, but his tone was cool.
Deanna turned her head and felt stunned. Even though she had seen so many handsome men and beauties in the entertainment industry in her previous life, she was still amazed by his pretty face.
In her previous life, she had fought against Ronnie for Joey so fiercely that she lost her life for it.
However, compared with the man in front of her, Joey looked too homely. She thought about what had happened between her and this handsome man and she felt that it was totally worth it. But all of a sudden, she felt like she had met him before.
"Have we met before?" She regretted the moment she said it, because it sounded like a flirtation.
Immediately, she changed the subject and said, "What happened yesterday was just an accident. We're both adults, so, you should just consider it as a game. Merry meet, merry part." She pretended not to care.
When she was reborn, she knew that her most urgent task was to take revenge and to take back everything that belonged to her. Men and love were not important to her now.
Hearing this, Christian became annoyed and then frowned. Is she so easy?
"Game? So you mean you did it on purpose last night, right?"
Deanna noticed that his voice was a little colder. However, she didn’t know why he suddenly became annoyed. "No, I was drugged yesterday, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she had seen the medical supplies on the bedside table. She suddenly realized that there seemed to be no pains between her legs.
He didn't sleep with me last night?
"Last night you didn't..."
Christian looked back coldly, and said with a cold tone, "I'm not interested in drunken women."
Deanna was surprised and at a loss for words for a moment. She thought that the man was indeed decent, and although he seemed a little unfriendly, he was a good man.
"Thank you." With a smile on her face, she nodded sincerely. "Would you mind telling me your name and phone number? If possible, I will definitely return your kindness with kindness."
The human society was built through relationships. She was sure that the man in front of her was not someone ordinary. She was too weak now and no match for Ronnie. With a few more allies, her odds of winning would far larger.
"Christian Godfrey." Christian took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
The business card was dark gold, engraved with complicated and mysterious patterns. It looked luxurious and elegant. There were only his name and private number on it.
Deanna put it away carefully. She knew that her beauty and intelligence were not powerful enough to defeat Ronnie. She needed to get to know more influential people that could help her. In her previous life, she had been tortured by Ronnie's fanboys and fangirls.
However, at this moment, she still didn’t know what great changes this business card could bring to her life.
Deanna put on her new clothes and went out in a hurry. The audition for "Ode to the Wonderland" was today. In her previous life, she had been drugged and then missed it. Later, she learned that it was Eva and Ronnie's plot.
It not only made her lose the opportunity to play the role, but it also made her a stepping stone to Ronnie’s success.
In this life, she would never let Ronnie live such a happy life.
Deanna just took a few steps, but unexpectedly, she saw the person she didn't want to see at the corner of the corridor, that baldy man, Charles.
After waking up, he was mad for being beaten to faint by Deanna. When he saw her with a handsome man, he was even more furious.
Charles spent a lot of money to buy the best philter. However, he got kicked unconscious, and the other man got the chance to sleep with her.
It’s clearly stated that she couldn't wake up after taking it. How could she wake up so soon?
Charles walked over fiercely. He pointed at her and started cursing her.
"You damn b***h! Kneel and beg me right now! If you come back to my room with me and serve me until I feel satisfied, I'll forgive you for your previous offence. Otherwise, you would never have any chance to succeed in the entertainment industry, ever!"
Charles threatened her viciously. He was sure that she would do as he said. She had the talent to be a star. However, she had been in the entertainment industry for two years, but she was still a nobody. That’s because she offended Ronnie Shaw.
If Charles said something bad about Deanna to some people, her dream of being an actress would be over.
Eva said that she is still a virgin.
Deanna could tell that Charles was determined to sleep with her. She stared at him expressionlessly as she recalled the disgusting feeling of being f****d by this scum in her previous life.
Charles had always regarded her as an eye candy and never took her seriously. When he met her gaze, he actually felt a little scared murderous look.
Christian was also surprised by her fierce look.
She didn’t look like a gentle and submissive woman.
However, Deanna quickly calmed herself. Since I'm already reborn, I should try my best to lead a brilliant life.
So he is trying to threaten me? Does he think I'm still the old version of Deanna?
She glanced at Christian beside her, then smiled adorably and said to Charles, "Sir, have you checked yourself in the mirror before you went out today? Young and beautiful girls like me are fond of handsome and strong men. Look at you. Are you really stupid enough to think you’re worthy of me?"
As she said that, Deanna held Christian's arm. Then, she continued sarcastically, "Don't aim at the moon, sir, because few princesses like the beast."
Christian didn't reject her approaching. Instead, he really enjoyed it. He turned his head and looked at Charles with a sharp look.
Charles got pissed off as they looked like a good match and she called him a beast.
"Deanna, don't go too far! If you piss me off, you'll come to a sticky end."
"I'm sorry, but I never plan to be nice to you."
Charles shouted angrily, "Deanna, don't you care about your mother's life? Believe it or not, I'll hire someone to kill her!"
Charles believed that when he mentioned Eva's life, Deanna would do everything he asked.
In her previous life, Charles threatened her with Eva's life. It indeed made her compromise many times. But in this life, Deanna wished that he could kill Eva as soon as possible.
She treated Eva as her real mother, but Eva never treated her as her child. Thus, if Charles didn’t do anything to Eva, she would.
"Deanna, you should know that you have offended Miss Ronnie Shaw. If you try to offend me now, your life will be over soon. Come here. As long as you dump the man beside you and come back to my room with me, I promise that your career in the entertainment industry will be on the rise. Otherwise, I'll sell your mother and you to the nightclub."
Charles felt that Christian was not someone he could afford to mess with. It was unnecessary for him to offend someone influential for just an common actress. Thus, he wanted her to leave with him voluntarily. After he took her back to his room, that would be the time for him to torture her.
As long as she’s not silly, she will know that annoying me means the rest of her life will be ruined, and obedience is the only way for her to survive.
Of course, Deanna knew Charles was cruel and merciless. She had heard that he had once been interested in a young model. After being rejected, he forced that model to leave the modeling circle. After that, he still didn’t let that model off the hook and deliberately troubled her family so that she could only slept with him. In the end, that model contracted a tons of diseases and committed suicide.
Being targeted by such a powerful scum, she was indeed in great danger. I’m afraid that my life will never be peaceful after leaving this hotel.
If so, I might as well...
