The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 229: Remarkable Big Shot

Alisa Shelby lowered her head, looking quite troubled: "However, this piece of clothing is truly too important to me. My assistant was just overly worried about me, that’s why they spoke without thinking. I sincerely apologize."

"This clothing is important to you?"

It’s Maya Monroe’s voice.

Looking at the slightly mocking expression of her counterpart, Alisa Shelby instinctively swallowed.

"Of course, for this piece of clothing, I prepared a long time, just to anticipate the effect of wearing it in this moment, but this sense of surprise was ruined by your assistant."

"Since it’s so important, so urgent, why not accept my apology and compensation?"

Alisa felt flustered: "This... it’s not that I won’t accept, but I truly put a lot of thought into this piece of clothing, and relied on many connections to get Roger Lowe to agree."

She paused: "This clothing is not just a matter of money..."

The word Alisa Shelby said was nothing but self-defense. But Yvonne Hall is a smart person, seasoned by many storms. With just a few glances, she could easily see that Alisa had intentionally clung to this matter and now had to relent upon seeing the change.

Squabbles among actresses over resources and status are not uncommon, and Yvonne Hall always addressed such matters with a cold response, as long as everyone’s dignity was intact.

However, the person involved now is Maya Monroe, with such a revered figure standing by.

"Alisa, since Maya’s assistant already apologized, and Maya offered compensation, let’s just let this go. There’s no need to linger on it. By clinging on, you’re just making a spectacle, aren’t you?"

Alisa Shelby tightened her lips.

Yvonne Hall was completely speaking in favor of Maya Monroe. Being in the same crew in the future, angering the director really wouldn’t be wise.

Alisa quietly glanced at Ian Rowe, whose posture and manner were undeniably rich and noble, absolutely a person of wealth and status. Yvonne Hall’s favoritism towards Maya Monroe must be related to him.

She always felt Ian Rowe looked familiar but couldn’t recall from where.

Alisa didn’t immediately comply, after all, she had finally found an opportunity to deal with Maya Monroe and to give up just like that felt unwilling.

Vincent Summers was watching the spectacle nearby, as it was his first time at the set, and he encountered such a dramatic showdown immediately.

No less, Maya Monroe had become much more civilized than before; he thought she would start shouting obscenities and physically fighting. After all, she was not one to suffer grievances, nor was she patient.

Now, seeing Maya standing calmly and arguing, Vincent felt rather unaccustomed.

Suddenly a familiar voice came from the side, Vincent Summers lowered his folded arms.

"What’s up, Ian?"

"Go have a look at the design of the clothes in her hand, contact Roger to make another set, and order a few more outfits as a compensation." His tone was relaxed and casual.

Vincent agreed.

He sometimes couldn’t understand these actresses; can they really argue over a piece of clothing? But upon reflection, perhaps it’s not that simple.

The business world is like a battlefield, and the entertainment industry too.

Alisa Shelby stiffly handed over the clothing she held.

The assistant beside her was beyond excited, after all, Roger Lowe’s masterpieces are worth a fortune. Getting such precious compensation for just one outfit is truly a huge gain!

But Alisa’s face was bleak. The man just looked at her with unchanging eyes, flat like a calm lake, without any displeasure or anger.

He gave her a peculiar feeling, as if she was beneath notice, and he was merely dispatching "troubles" like dealing with stray cats and dogs.

Yvonne had initially wanted to quickly handle this issue to salvage impressions with Ian Rowe; she hadn’t expected that it would involve him personally.

"Mr. Rowe, I should handle matters on set, I didn’t expect to trouble you personally."

Ian Rowe raised an eyebrow, plainly saying: "No trouble at all, after all, it’s my business."

Yvonne glanced at Maya behind Ian Rowe, seeming enlightened.

She smiled slightly: "Indeed, I spoke inappropriately."

Yvonne turned around: "Well then, Alisa, this matter is resolved."

Alisa Shelby snapped back from her stupor.

She finally remembered where she had seen this man before; she had encountered him once at an annual party but had no direct interaction. At that time, he was surrounded by many CEOs, one of whom was the chairman of a well-known entertainment company. Even this chairman was solicitous towards him, almost fawning.

It’s enough to see how high his status is.

The words from her judge friend echoed again in Alisa’s mind.

An untouchable big shot...

If this person truly is Maya Monroe’s support, then she truly is untouchable...

Alisa forced a smile: "We never intended to make this situation any uglier, after all, we’re in the same crew seeing each other frequently. Since the matter is resolved now, I suppose this incident can be closed." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Yvonne silently nodded, relieved Alisa is sensible enough.

"Wait..." After a long silence, Maya Monroe suddenly spoke.

Alisa’s heart raced, her intuition warning her something bad loomed.

"Wh-what’s wrong?"

"Since this matter is resolved, let’s address another issue."

Alisa’s eyes went wide: "Another issue? What else? I’ve already forgiven you!"

Maya hearing this smirked coldly, then turned to Ivy: "Tell me, how did you get that injury on your arm?"

Moments ago, facing so many on Alisa’s side inevitably made her a weaker force.

But now, Maya’s words were like a reassurance, she straightened her back, though tears of grievance welled in her eyes:

"I...I had just apologized, yet Alisa’s assistant wasn’t willing to let it go; she furiously shoved me hard onto the ground, even intending to hit me with a tray! Alisa was there, but said nothing..."

Ivy felt increasingly aggrieved, protecting her injured arm. Though usually a bit reckless, it was her first time encountering such malicious circumstances.

"So domineering..." Maya chuckled, though her face showed no amusement.

It was obvious to anyone Yvonne Hall sided with Maya Monroe, so numerous people jumped out, claiming they witnessed that scene: Ivy continuously apologizing, while Alisa’s assistant threw arrogance and insults at her, even threatening violence...

Confronted with so many accusations, the assistant’s jubilant expression vanished, panic setting in.

"I-I didn’t..."
