Chapter 177: Chapter 177

With Seth Shaw involved, she became a joke on the internet, the more glamorous Paige Sterling was, the more pathetic she appeared.

It was enough to drive her insane.

And Skylar Hughes’s few words completely unleashed the madness hidden in her heart.

Skylar Hughes noticed Melody Mercer’s reaction and chuckled, "Penson has a product launch in two days with lots of reporters attending."

She gave Melody Mercer a glance and left without saying more.

On the day of the Penson launch, sure enough, Melody Mercer showed up, standing in the crowd, staring intently at Paige Sterling.

Not only did Melody Mercer attend, but a bruised Seth Shaw came as well.

As Paige Sterling stepped out of the car, Seth Shaw suddenly rushed out shouting, "Paige, I love you! I love you!"

However, there were too many people shouting at the scene, Seth Shaw’s voice was drowned out by other voices.

After Paige Sterling got out of the car, she was about to enter the event when Melody Mercer suddenly rushed out.

Security immediately stopped her, and Melody Mercer stared hard at Paige, "Paige!"

Paige glanced at her, then looked over to Seth Shaw and waved him over.

Security allowed Seth Shaw through, and he hurried over, "Paige! You’re finally willing to see me..."

Paige smiled, "Recovered from your wounds and you’re itching again?"

Seth Shaw’s expression froze, Paige looked at Melody Mercer, "You two really surprise me." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Originally agreed to mind their own business, now they’re entangling everywhere, these two really are...

Paige couldn’t find the words to describe them and then saw Skylar Hughes appear.

"I heard Penson had a launch, so I came to check it out too, Paige, you don’t mind, right?"

Paige just glanced at Skylar Hughes, not speaking, Skylar Hughes looked at Melody Mercer, then at Seth Shaw, "The issues between the three of you aren’t suitable to discuss here, why not invite them to the office to talk, Paige, what do you think?"

Paige ignored Skylar Hughes, "Sure, I’ll give you guys a chance to speak, say whatever you want right here."

Melody Mercer gritted her teeth, "Paige, I’ll admit I was wrong, I shouldn’t have fought you over Seth Shaw back then. Since Seth Shaw truly loves you, I’ll fulfill your wishes, I’ll give you Seth Shaw, please spare me, give me a way out."

She lowered her head, her gaze pitiful.

The cameras from the media outside flashed wildly.

Paige thought she was quite sick, "Take this trash away if you want it, returning it to me, what’s the meaning? To insult me?"

Melody Mercer stared wide-eyed at Paige, "Paige, how can you say that about Seth Shaw? You clearly loved him before..."

Paige casually replied, "I had poor judgment back then."

Seth Shaw looked embarrassed, "Paige, I really know I was wrong, won’t you forgive me? Let’s start anew..."

Paige smirked, "You want to start anew with me, right?"

Seth Shaw nodded, looking at Paige hopefully.

Paige slapped him, "Start anew?"

The people at the scene were shocked, Seth Shaw was also stunned.

To be slapped in front of so many people, what a loss of face.

But more important than losing face was to regain Paige’s heart.

So Seth Shaw continued, looking deep in love, "Paige, I truly love you, give me a chance..."

Paige slapped him again, "Still want to start anew?"

Seth Shaw, "Paige, I..."

Paige slapped him once more, each slap heavier than the last.

Seth Shaw’s face was now swollen again.

"Now, do you still want to start anew with me?"

Seth Shaw was struck speechless.

Melody Mercer was also a bit incredulous.

To lay hands even in front of so many people, it’s clear Paige’s heart wasn’t on Seth Shaw anymore.

The person Paige didn’t even care about, she had gone all out to snatch, she suddenly felt quite defeated.

Yet now was an opportunity.

Her persona was to love Seth Shaw deeply, and now Seth Shaw suffered , it’s nothing to stand up for him, right?

Melody Mercer took a deep breath and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Paige, you’re too much!"

Then taking advantage of security’s negligence, she pulled out a bottle and splashed its contents at Paige’s face.

"Ah! It’s acid!" someone nearby screamed.

Paige’s defense gear activated, the splashed acid rebounded back, splashing on Melody Mercer, several drops hitting her face, she screamed in agony.

Everyone was dumbfounded, it really was acid!

Melody Mercer actually brought acid to splash Paige, was she insane?

Skylar Hughes was standing close to Melody Mercer, a drop splashed onto her face and she shrieked.

That drop was enough to leave a dent on her face.

The scene was chaotic for a moment, Paige left without looking back, escorted by bodyguards.

Melody Mercer was taken away by the police, but due to serious injuries, she was sent to the hospital for treatment first.

After the launch, Paige specifically went to the hospital to see Melody Mercer.

Melody Mercer’s collarbone to chest was splashed by acid, a few drops on her face too, not enough to ruin her appearance, but as a face-dependent actress, such blemishes meant no more hopes in the entertainment industry.

Seeing Paige, she reacted fiercely, any movement unsettled her wounds.

She clenched her teeth, glaring at Paige.

"Paige, did you come to laugh at me?"

Trying to splash Paige only to end up ruining herself.

She couldn’t understand how she got so unlucky.

Paige chuckled, pinching Melody Mercer’s chin, she struggled but couldn’t break free.

Paige lamented, "Such a pretty face, ruined just like that, truly a pity."

She looked at Paige with resentment.

Paige asked, "Do you hate me, Melody?"

If she didn’t hate Paige, why splash acid on her?

Even though she told the police it was impulsive because Paige beat Seth Shaw, the fact she had acid showed premeditation.

Paige already pursued legal actions, she might not only be unable to work in entertainment, but also face a sentence.

Paige found it funny, said, "Melody, what do you have to hate me for? You wanted Seth Shaw, I gave him to you, then minding my own business. The rest were your issues, what’s it got to do with me? Can’t stand me being well just because you’re not?"

Melody Mercer truly had this mindset.

She was with Seth Shaw, it would’ve been fine if things got better than before.

But things became worse and worse, while Paige flourished, the difference was unbearable.

Then Paige asked, "Who prompted you to splash acid on me?"

Melody Mercer tightly pursed her lips, refused to speak.

"I know even if you don’t say, Skylar Hughes, right?"

Melody Mercer abruptly looked at Paige.
