Chapter 189 You'd Better Be
Sandy's eyes blazed with anger. She thought that this matter was mostly caused by the woman in front of her, but now she wanted to get away.
"Miss Bai, I think your words are very funny. If I really sue Melinda, I'm afraid I will live a more miserable life," said Sandy in a strange tone, with a pair of terrifying eyes underneath the thick bangs.
Not threatening but frightening.
Since Victor dared to help Melinda to clarify this matter openly, he naturally had the means to find evidence to reverse the verdict if Melinda was really engaged in the court. If that really happened, Sandy's chances of winning were much lower.
Emily sneered. Of course she knew it, but it had nothing to do with her. What she wanted was to embarrass Melinda.
She didn't care about Sandy at all. Sandy could also guess something from Emily's attitude at this moment. She was angry that she was used by someone. Then she thought of something and smiled viciously.
"Miss Bai, have you forgotten our conversation? I don't mind recalling it for you."
Emily really could not remember the conversation between them. She looked at Sandy suspiciously. Sandy was not panic at all right now, but after being provoked by Emily, she calmed down.
She took out her mobile phone, found out the recording and played it directly. Emily rushed over madly, trying to delete the recording.
Although Sandy gained a little weight, she was very flexible. When she dodged, she pushed Emily away. Emily was just like a dog eating on the ground.
After a while, Emily came to herself and controlled Sandy with her assistant.
"I don't know how many copies of this recording I have prepared. If you like to delete it, just do it. But Miss Bai, I hope you can know that we are in the same boat. If you don't help me, we can be screwed together. I think the media will be more excited to see a star involved in this matter than the mere fight between two small writers,"
Sandy said it casually, thinking that it would be nice if people turned all their attention to Emily, but Emily would never accept it.
She secretly hated Sandy's cunning words, but there was no other way at the moment. With a gloomy face, Emily looked at Sandy. She had never thought that she would be slandered by Sandy.
"I'll deal with it. You'd better go home now. Don't do anything stupid, or someone will know more about you."
Emily had figured out that she would definitely not come up with a good solution. Hearing that, Sandy breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that she had recorded their conversation.
But when Sandy thought of the record, she could not help but think of the matter that Jonas asked her to say something to Emily, but she did not say that.
At this time, Sandy firmly believed that she couldn't let Emily know about it.
"I hope that you will keep your words." After saying that, Sandy left Emily's house in a hurry. As for what would happen next, she would let Emily worry about it.
There was still some time before the press conference. Emily's brain was in a mess. She could not think of any way at all. Her assistant stood by and saw her look bad, so she did things much more carefully.
Melinda was in a good mood these two days and felt much more relaxed. Even when she encountered difficulties from her colleagues, she always wore a smile, which made those people feel embarrassed to continue to trouble her.
What's more, other people were envious of Melinda, but they did not want to offend her. After all, she was accompanied by Victor, who would protect her all the time.
They couldn't afford to mess with her later.
Every time Emily tried to find a way, she couldn't help but grab her hair. Now she had so many hair on her hands, but there was no good way. She learnt all the means in the TV series. If something really happened to her, she had no other choice.
At last, she chose the simplest way, and that was to contact Melinda.
"See me?" Melinda doubted that if she had misheard. She was so surprised that she had received a call from Emily, and she was told that she wanted to see her.
In her impression, there was nothing good when Emily met her. Now that the press conference was about to start, Melinda quickly refused, "I'm busy with work and I don't have time."
"No, you must come out to see me," Emily said in a very domineering tone, which made Melinda can't help laughing out.
"Am I being too blunt? Okay, I'm serious now. I don't want to see you,"
Melinda sneered and said to Emily. She didn't speak loud, but her aura was strong enough. Emily came to herself in an instant. Thinking of the purpose she came to find Melinda today, she lowered her attitude and said, "I have something to talk to you."
"You want to see me, and then I have to come out? What's the logic?"
Melinda curled up her lips in bewilderment. Emily wanted to see her so much that everybody who didn't know the situation would think that they were on good terms.
"Melinda, if you don't see me, I will commit suicide." As soon as Emily made up her mind, she said. At the other end of the line, Melinda was stunned by her words.
Wasn't she just to have a face-to-face talk with her? How did it rise to the point of death?
"I'm not kidding. I have nothing now."
Emily clenched her phone. She couldn't think of anything else. Didn't Melinda always pretend to be kind? She was going to take advantage of her kindness today.
After a long silence, Melinda seemed to be considering the possibility that Emily would keep her words. Finally, she said helplessly, "Okay, but I decide the place. I will text you later."
She didn't want to put herself in a passive position, so she told her that. If Emily wanted to act rashly, she had to consider the occasion as well.
After thinking it over, Melinda sent the address of a tea house she often went to Emily, and then called to book a room over there. It was noon break.
Melinda had thought that she would wait for Emily for a long time. After all, it was Emily's usual style. But as soon as she arrived at the tea house, the waiter told her that her guest had arrived.
"You are late." As soon as Melinda pushed the door open, she saw Emily looking at her with an unhappy face. Then Melinda glanced at the clock on the wall, and said calmly, "It's probably because my nap time is different from that of Miss Bai."
"You do have a lot of work to do. I heard that you are going to hold a press conference tomorrow."
Emily's mouth twisted in a weird shape. Melinda poured herself a cup of tea and poured another cup of tea for Emily.
"Tea and desserts here are not poisonous," said Melinda. She was a little hungry after having only little food at noon. She picked up a piece of dessert from the small plate and had a taste. The faint flavor of Osmanthus spread in her taste bud, and Melinda squinted with satisfaction.
Also in this way, she ignored Emily, who was sitting opposite to her.
The meeting was brought up by Emily, and there was no reason for Melinda to bring the topic up here.
"I ask you if you are going to hold a press conference tomorrow," Emily asked again patiently. Melinda took a sip of tea to moisten her dry throat and said "H'm" absent mindedly.
But on second thought, she sensed that it was strange that Emily was concerned about the matter. She rolled her eyes back and forth, and then squinted at Emily with a touch of look and banter in her eyes, saying, "Well, you want to make use of my hot topic to gain some fame?"
Emily's tea cup was smashed on the table and broke into pieces. Melinda's words were full of sarcasm.
"Or are you planning to switch to be a reporter and let me accept your interview?" Melinda didn't mind Emily's attitude at all. After saying that, she reminded Emily that she had to pay for the damages of the tea set. She didn't want Emily to let her pay for that.
For a long time, Emily didn't bring up the topic she was going to say, but was mocked by Melinda.
"Well, take a look." Emily controlled her temper, took out an envelope made of Kraft paper from her bag, and pushed it towards Melinda. While typing twice on the envelope as if she was a spy, Melinda said, "It has the same thickness as your skin."
Though being taunted by Melinda all the time, Emily was no match for her at all.
"As long as you apologize to the fans in the press conference and admit that you plagiarize, these money will be yours," said Emily proudly. She felt so happy that she was richer than Melinda.
In other words, she thought that Melinda was very poor.
Taking a sideways glance at the envelope, Melinda said, "Apologize to my fans and admit the plagiarism? Do you think I'm as stupid as you who have no brains?"
It took her a long time to find the evidence to prove her innocence. How could she give up just because of such little money? Was she that poor? Melinda smiled ironically, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. She was curious why Emily suddenly mentioned this. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I remember that you have nothing to do with it, right?"
"Why do you ask so many questions? Just take the money and do as I say."
Emily was a little flustered by Melinda's question. She said hurriedly, as if she was eager to hide something, but Melinda was not so easy to fool.
"Emily, do you feel guilty? Or, it was you ordered Sandy to do that?!" Melinda stared at Emily with sparkling eyes. There was no doubt but certainty in her eyes.
If it was Emily who did it, Melinda would not be surprised. But when did Emily arrange so many people around her.
"No, I don't know who Sandy is," Emily explained in a hurry, which made her look much guiltier. Melinda wouldn't let it go easily as long as Emily was involved.
"You'd better be."
