Rebirth: Top Star Actress

Chapter 55

“Don’t even think about it! Get lost! I got important stuff to do right now, and you better not get in my way, or I won’t be so nice!

Emily’s eyes blazed with fury.

James had never seen such a look in Emily’s eyes before.

24

He was so shocked that he took a step back.

Bianca, with tears in her eyes, quickly stepped in front of James. “Emily, how can you talk to James like that? Just because he cares about you doesn’t mean you can bully him! If you have a problem, take it out on me!”

She closed her eyes and stuck out her neck, looking like she was ready to face death.

Emily sneered coldly.

James immediately pulled Bianca behind him, as if afraid Emily might hurt her.

He raised his hand.

“Emily!”

With the sound of a slap, James’s voice was filled with anger.

“Emily, how could you hit James? What’s happened to you? James, are you okay?”

“Keep talking nonsense, and it won’t just be one slap!”

Emily had already slapped him and was shaking her hand. She had no time to deal with the two of them.

If she hadn’t anticipated James’s move and slapped him first, she would have been the one getting hit.

In fact, she should have slapped him in their past life.

Someone she once relied on had almost hit her for another woman.

It was truly pathetic.

Bianca was so shocked by Emily’s hostility that she fell silent.

Emily didn’t look at them again. She hailed a cab and quickly left.

In the cab, she dialed Knox’s number with a stern expression.

“Mr. Green, any updates on what I asked you to investigate last time?”

It shouldn’t be taking this long. She knew Knox’s capabilities and influence.

Chapter 55

Emily, you only call me when you need something…”

“Cut the crap. What’s the status?

“Alright, I’ll send it to you right away!”

He just wanted her to call him first. But Emily’s temper had grown sharper, like a kitten ready to show its claws at any moment.

That was good, at least she wouldn’t be bullied.

“Thanks! I’ll treat you to dinner sometime,” Emily said sincerely.

The person on the other end, who had been sulking, immediately brightened up.

His eyes narrowed with affection, as if he was ready to send his love through the phone line.

“That’s more like it! Need any help? Your uncle is really a piece of work.”

Knox’s eyes flashed with anger.

Scum like that was a waste of air.

“Not for now. If I need help, I won’t hesitate to ask.”

“Alright then!” Knox sounded a bit disappointed. He paused and then said, “I’ll give you a contact. He specializes in this kind of thing. Just call him directly.”

“Got it!”

Emily hung up and immediately received the information and phone number from Knox.

She quickly scanned the details.

When she saw the debt amount listed as $500,000, her eyes filled with anger.

$500,000, but he had told Violette it was $1,000,000.

He had been scheming against Violette, taking all the benefits while pushing Violette, Atticus, and Sofia into despair.

Unbelievable!

Her anger was so intense that the cab driver, seeing her through the rearview mirror, almost slammed on the brakes in fear.

Meanwhile, at Serenity Grove,

Rhett was being pinned to the ground by several security guards.

“Let me go! I’m hitting my own wife. What right do you have to hold me down? I’ll call the cops and expose you all for being useless security!”

Chapter 55

Even while being restrained, Rhett continued to shout obscenities.

:

“Have you all slept with my Violette? Is that why you’re treating me like this?”

24

“You idiots, she’s a loose woman who doesn’t care about you. See that mansion over there? That’s her lover’s place. He’s probably some old geezer. She’s not loyal, and she’s trying to take my kids. Would you stand for that?”

The men holding him down were furious at his slander and wanted to beat him up.

Some had already kicked him a few times.

But hearing his words, some started to believe him.

They felt a sense of male solidarity and fell silent, even feeling some sympathy.

After all, for a man, this was a huge humiliation.

The commotion naturally drew attention.

Some people, hearing Rhett’s words, began to look down on Violette.

“I knew it. Why else would he be so angry? Turns out she cheated. She looks okay, but she’s so skinny, and her skin is bad. Would the owner of that house even be interested in her?”

“Maybe it really is an old man.”

“Who knows who owns that house?”

The gossipers were mostly people with nothing better to do.

Those who could afford houses here had good backgrounds.

If it weren’t for the noise, they wouldn’t be so curious.

Living here long enough, they formed a community, so they speculated if they knew the owner.

Violette was being slandered by Rhett in front of so many people. Especially since Atticus wanted to become a public servant, if this got out, it could affect his future exams…

‘Rhett, I didn’t! You’re lying! The real problem is you. You asked me to borrow money, but it wasn’t for a failed business, was it? Where did the money go? I didn’t see a single penny.”

Violette, usually gentle, wasn’t good at arguing.

Even in anger, she couldn’t say anything too harsh.

But she remembered Emily’s words. If she didn’t stand up for herself, her children would suffer.
