Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne-Chapter 130: The Abacus Beads Hit Nana in the Face

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Abacus Beads Hit Nana in the Face

Riley Perry glanced at the two people in the living room. The three of them blinked in unison. ’It’s obvious. She’s just after a spot on "Go on an adventure together".’

But how did Holly Summers have the nerve to ask her? Forget the fact that she didn’t have the connections to get someone onto Director Warren’s show—even if she did, why on earth would she help Holly Summers?

Because Holly Summers hadn’t managed to ruin her yet?

Besides, the woman was beating around the bush. All that rambling was just to get Riley Perry to offer help on her own, so Holly wouldn’t have to owe anyone a favor!

She was really playing her cards well. Her schemes were so obvious they might as well have slapped Joanna in the face!

As for why they didn’t slap her own face? She came with a built-in shield function. Deflect.

Seeing that the other woman was gearing up for another long-winded speech, Riley Perry cut her off directly. "Holly, it’s not my place to say, but if you’re so unhappy at the company, why didn’t you say so sooner? If Manager Halloway is really giving your resources to other people, you should report it to the company!

Our Mr. Lynch is the fairest person I know. As long as they can confirm what you’re saying is true, Mr. Lynch will definitely assign you a new manager. That way, you won’t have to suffer under Sandra Holloway anymore. Don’t you think?

If you’re really too timid to go see the president yourself, then just leave it to me!

I’m brave enough. I promise I’ll report the whole thing to the president, exactly as it happened. He’ll definitely sort it out for you!"

Holly Summers was speechless. ’...Damn it! It’s one thing to say this in private, but if she actually makes a big fuss, what manager would dare to take me on?’

Forget the future—if a single one of these words got back to Sandra Holloway, she wouldn’t even *have* a future.

"No, Riley, don’t go! That’s the president we’re talking about! What if you piss him off and he shelves you in a fit of anger?"

"So what if I get shelved! I’ll risk it all for a friend. I’m going to the company to find Mr. Lynch tomorrow!"

Holly Summers was about to lose her mind! All she fucking wanted was for Riley Perry to get her an introduction to Director Warren’s show, but instead, Riley was trying to completely torpedo her career in entertainment!

Consumed by rage, Holly Summers suddenly became hysterical and shrieked, "Riley Perry! I told you to stay out of it! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?"

Silence. A dead silence.

After a long moment, Riley Perry’s voice, devoid of any emotion, sounded again. "...Holly, so I was meddling? Is that really how you see me as a friend?!

Fine. I was out of line. Let’s not contact each other anymore!"

Holly Summers knew she had misspoken and hurriedly tried to explain, "Riley, that’s not what I meant..."

"It has nothing to do with me. Goodbye."

Seeing her hang up the phone, Joanna said happily, "Since you two have had a falling out, it’s the perfect time to stop contacting her for good. She’s not a good person anyway. With a few more ’besties’ like her around, you wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly."

Riley Perry replied, "I haven’t actively contacted her at all recently. She only gets in touch when she sees something happening on my end. I have a feeling if I had actually gone tonight, something would have definitely happened."

Of course, even if she didn’t go, something would likely happen anyway.

’That Holly Summers wasn’t just jealous of her; she had someone backing her.’

’Otherwise, her looks aren’t as good as mine.’

’Her acting is worse than the fake’s.’

’In terms of EQ, all she has are countless sugar daddies.’

’And as for IQ? The fake at least managed to stumble her way through Kingsbridge University on her own merit. Holly Summers never even went to a junior college, having barely graduated from high school. So how did she manage to do better than the fake before?’

’She must have someone backing her!’

Just then, Joanna’s phone rang. One look at her expression and Riley Perry knew it must be the president calling. ’Looks like she won’t be staying the night.’

Sure enough, two minutes later, Joanna grabbed her bag and said goodbye to the other two. "Um, I’m heading out. You guys get some rest too."

Riley Perry said, "Go on, go on. Remember to text me when you get home."

Joanna made an "OK" sign, slipped on her shoes, and left.

Rhona and Riley Perry exchanged a look. "Is Nana seeing someone?"

Riley Perry really wanted to laugh. ’Joanna and the president have kept their relationship so tightly under wraps that even Rhona, the biggest gossip hound, hasn’t heard a peep. So of course, I’m not going to be the one to spill the beans.’

"She’s in her thirties. It’d be weirder if she *wasn’t* seeing someone!"

’Whether it’s love or not is hard to say; after all, I’ve never seen how the two of them interact. But who doesn’t have needs?’

As she spoke, Riley Perry took out her laptop. With a flurry of keystrokes, she quickly connected to the surveillance cameras at the bar Holly Summers had mentioned.

At first, Rhona didn’t understand what she was doing. But when Holly Summers appeared on the laptop screen, her jaw dropped in astonishment.

"Isn’t that Holly Summers? Those two women with her look a little familiar!"

On the screen, Holly Summers was in a private room. There were seven people in total—three women and four men. Holly was talking to the other two women.

"Didn’t you say Riley Perry would definitely be here?"

Holly Summers’s expression faltered for a second, then she smiled again. "She’s busy."

"What about Director Warren’s show you mentioned? Did she agree?"

’Heh, you were fucking listening the whole time. You didn’t hear whether she agreed or not?’

"She’s famous now, you know. How could she spare a thought for a small fry like me? What if I went and stole her spotlight?

And to think I even got her several gigs when I saw she was out of work. I can’t believe she won’t even help me with this one little thing. It’s just so heartbreaking!"

The two women pursed their lips at the same time.

Holly Summers was still talking to herself. "But some people... even if they get famous for a moment, it won’t last a lifetime. She refused to do me a favor today, but who knows? Maybe tomorrow she’ll be finished!"

"What do you mean? Holy shit, don’t tell me you have some dirt on her? Spill it! We want to hear the gossip too!"

But this time, Holly Summers kept her lips sealed. "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just saying. Besides, Riley Perry is my friend. I’ll always wish the best for her! Come on, come on, let’s drink! You, with the silver hair, get over here now!"

Rhona said angrily, "That damn Holly Summers! Look at the things she’s saying! She just can’t stand to see you doing well, Ria."

Just then on the screen, Holly Summers had started feeding grapes to the handsome, silver-haired guy, mouth-to-mouth. Rhona deftly pulled out her phone and started screen-recording.

’Hmph! Ria may be too honest, but I’m not so easy to bully. If she dares to run her mouth online, I’ll hire a water army to release this clip. I’ve even thought of the headlines: #ZListStarletPartiesLateAtNightWithAManOnEachArmShowingHerTruePlayerColors#, or #HollySummersOneGirlTwoGuysDoublesTheFun#.’

’Hehehe, the internet will probably be in an uproar for a while then!’

Riley Perry, who had a perfect view of Rhona’s sly little smile, thought, ’Wait, I’ve already hacked into the bar’s surveillance system. Does she think I don’t know how to save the video?’

’Oh well. The kid is happy, so I’ll just let her have her fun.’

On the screen, the men and women in the private room were getting wild—so wild that Rhona instinctively covered her eyes.

"Oh my god, I can’t believe it! Holly Summers is... is that kind of person!"

I’d only heard rumors before about some celebrities in the industry selling their bodies for resources, but I’ve never actually seen three women go and hire male escorts together!
