Now, with her fame at its peak, so many were green-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Lin Mier to Lin Siqian to Jiang Ming, were there few who wanted to bring her down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person here, isn’t each one aggravated by her presence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wished to see her plummet to the bottom of the valley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they kept their mouths shut, this dead cat would be on her back for sure, and who would speak out for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood the principle: everyone wanted to climb higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to do so, one must step over the obstacles in their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood, yet her heart grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the same production team, yet so heartless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xia Weibao’s eyes turned colder, Zhuang Xuejun gave her a tug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she moved a small step forward and stood in front of her, striking a protective pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can attest that I saw Baby enter the makeup room just before and didn’t come out until it was time to shoot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao looked up, her gaze flickering uncertainly at Zhuang Xuejun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Wenan’s face was stern, “Xuejun, stop kidding around. I was clearly discussing the script with you just now, and from where we stood, we couldn’t see the makeup room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ying sneered with contempt, “Xuejun, I always thought you were upright, but I didn’t expect you to make a false testimony for Xia Weibao, how disappointing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ones making false testimonies are you! Simply based on one-sided statements from these two, you conclude it was Baby who did it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a witness, and she has no alibi, isn’t that enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ying scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Xuejun was at a loss for words, feeling wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed in Xia Weibao, she would never do such a thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could continue her rebuttal, Wan Ke interrupted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, everyone shut up. The matter is clear now, don’t waste everyone’s time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wan Ke spoke, he looked at Xia Weibao, “Xia Weibao, you harmed Chu Ying. Considering we are all from the same production and that no serious injury was caused, I won’t call the police. Apologize to Chu Ying in a Weibo post.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao wanted to laugh, post an apology?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she really did so, then the accusation of her being jealous and committing such a devious act would be confirmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Wan, are you so sure it was me? Without any evidence, you’ve decided my guilt just like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Ke really wanted to roll his eyes, in his production, someone actually dared to defy him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Wang and Old Liu are the witnesses, and that’s enough. If you want to deny it further, then I’ll call the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You better think carefully. Once the police are involved, it won’t be easy to resolve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you’re in the police station, guilty or not, your reputation is destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t that happen to Xu Jiayang? Just one day at the police station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was eventually released due to insufficient evidence, the internationally renowned director fell from grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Ke reckoned Xia Weibao wouldn’t dare call the police because she couldn’t prove her innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, would Her Majesty the Empress be threatened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed her arms, “Alright then, call the police. I’d like to see who is framing me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Framing?” Wan Ke sneered, “Do you dare say you didn’t do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wouldn’t I dare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What evidence do you have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have an alibi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ying, who had finished applying medication, stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked up to her, “Who can vouch for you that you weren’t there at the time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was certain that just then, only Xia Weibao was alone in the makeup room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t be able to find a witness!\u003C\u002Fp>",659,"2026-06-06T16:22:08.708Z",1,"novelbin.me","e14bb33f8a1530e6d7e567e67be8aa609a7ff56c5acb72dfdd3742b5a504438c","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-564","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-562",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
