Secondly. Mr. Zimmerman and M. Cale, you tweem like a perfect match. Birds of a feather Bock together, right?” Annie continued.
Selena’s anger flared. “You better believe I can ensure you won’t survive another day in this circle?” The Gale family wielded significant power in the entertainment industry, turning threats like hers into serious business for artists.
Annie cocked her head innocently yet mischievously. “Thirdly, Ms. Gale, you perhaps have the wrong idea about who I am. Don’t you remember we met a few days ago when I was with Yolanda and Jessica!
We met? But why didn’t I remember anything? Perplexed, Selena watched as Annie turned towards Jessica with a smile, inquiring, “Isn’t that right, Jessica?”
Jessica was stiff but quickly softened her expression, replying gently, “Annie, you’re still mischievous.”
“What?” Selena burst out in shock, unable to believe the lady standing before her was truly Annie.
Stripped of heavy makeup, Annie’s natural beauty shone through her delicate and captivating features. Donning the same black evening gown Lucy wore a few days ago, yet with a twist- crossing the straps in the middle and adding a waist belt, she exuded a different style, tastefully covering all the right areas, exuding elegance and grace.
Previously, Annie always appeared with layers of makeup. No one had ever seen her bare face, sparking doubts–was this woman really Annie Sanders?
If she truly was Annie, then the recent scene with Selena and Henry bordered on the embarrassing. The daughter of John, the second–largest shareholder at Chandler Group, resorting to seduction. tactics with Henry? Would she really fear Selena shutting her down? What a ludicrous scenario!
“Looks you’re in trouble now, Mr. Zimmerman,” a man remarked.
“Oh, come on, I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all this pesky troublemaker, Selena!” Fearing reprisal from the Sanders family, Henry shifted blame instantly, slipped into the crowd, and dashed off in a hurry.
Seething with fury, Selena bit her lip fiercely. But she refused to be outshone by Annie whom she constantly mocked. So, she stood tall and declared loudly, “Annie, did you go under the knife or something? Cotta say, that face is looking pretty good!”

Chapter 6
In upper–class circles, getting plastic surgery was no biggles. A little hyaluronic acid here, double eyelids there everyone was splurging a ton of cas just for a face. But those things were kept on the down–low, though some might gossip behind others‘ backs. It was evident that Selena was going through a rough patch herself and was not going to go easy on Annie either.
Annie and Jessica had seen Annie’s true face before, but at that moment, they pretended not to hear, not stepping up to explain for her.
Selena’s remarks clearly struck a chord. After all, everyone knew what Annie looked like before.
“Did she get plastic surgery? How else could such a drastic change happen?”
“I’ll go ask which hospital she went to. It looks way too natural!”
“I used to think Jessica was so pretty, but now, Annic seems even better looking.”
“But it’s all fake.”
In the past, Annie would have felt anxious and messed up with so many people gossiping about her. Yet, now, she wore a serene smile and asked Selena with concern, “I heard you have been pregnant. for two months. How is the baby. Ms. Gale?”
“What nonsense are you talking?” Selena instantly flared up. Despite her distaste for Henry, the Gale and the Zimmerman families were about to get engaged. If such baseless rumors reached the Zimmermans, all their efforts would go down the drain.
“You…” Selena’s friends looked shocked.
“That’s a load of bull!” Selena seethed. “Annie, spreading rumors is against the law. Trust me, I’ll take you to court!”
Annie replied calmly, “Just kidding. Didn’t you joke with me just now too?”
Selena was speechless, all her rage stuck in her throat..
That was the way it went–fight fire with fire.
