Chapter 890 What Can You Do To Me (1/2)
Dina left the report on the table and said slowly, ”I am afraid I don't get you. What is this? What did you do with the contract which we signed before?”
Emily was not surprised to see Dina playing dumb. Letting out a snort of contempt, Emily took the postcard out from the file pocket and threw it down in front of Dina. ”Dina, you really have a poor memory. Read it yourself! It will remind you, since you wrote it. I am sure you will remember it then!” Emily said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Dina glanced nonchalantly at the postcard but didn't move at all to take it. As if it was nothing important to her, she lowered her head and studied her red fingernails casually. She even began to admire herself for her surprising display of calmness, despite being unmasked.
”Director Bai, I don't understand what you are implying about me. I came here to ask for an explanation from you, not to suffer an inquisition at your hands. This is ridiculous!” Dina said unpleasantly as she waved her fingers through the air, as if she was a dark conductor directing an orchestra.
How did she have the balls? One could only gasp at the sheer effrontery of Dina. But Emily was not convinced by her words as she had sufficient evidence to believe that the postcard had been written by the woman seated in front of her.
”It doesn't matter if you don't confess to it! You and I both know very well what you've done. By the way, you said that you came here to ask for an explanation. I am curious as to what that is about,” Emily asked coldly. She had planned to go to Sky Entertainment Group Limited to confront Dina. But now, since Dina had already come to Emily by herself, it saved Emily from taking another trip.
”Why did you ask Jacob to cancel all of my activities and cooperation programs? Why are you so unkind to me? You are ruining my career!” Dina asked aggressively. She was getting more and more agitated as she spoke. Her fingernails were now pressed into the flesh of her hands as she clenched them into fists.
”Watch your words, Dina!” Emily replied sullenly.
”I never asked Jacob to suspend your activities. I don't know why you would have such groundless suspicions. You should be careful of making such accusations!” Emily added darkly. She had only had a simple lunch with Jacob the previous day and hadn't asked him to do anything against Dina. Besides, Emily sorted out her own problems; she would never ask Jacob to take punitive measures on her behalf.
”You didn't?” Dina asked defiantly as she clearly didn't believe a single word of Emily's explanation. ”Jacob wouldn't have done that to me if you hadn't told him to. Stop playing the fool!”
Stars like her had to maintain a high public profile to ensure their popularity. Participating in various activities and taking on roles in movies or TV series was the most important way to ensure her high visibility in the public sphere. But now, all of her commercial activities had suddenly been suspended. It was obvious that someone had been pulling the strings from behind the scenes. That someone needed to be powerful enough to achieve that, so it had to have been Emily using Jacob's influence. Dina had no doubt about it! If Dina dropped out of sight because of this, it was career suicide. Out of sight meant out of mind in stardom!
She had worked hard to get to where she was today and would not allow anyone to ruin her career.
