Chapter 238: Downfall
"Roger, bring her here," Wendy said.
"Okay!"
After Roger made a phone call, the door of a lounge inside the hall opened, and a young girl walked out.
The moment Eris saw her, her eyes widened in shock.
"Ana?"
It was Ana, her assistant.
The reporters interviewed Eris many times, so they were familiar with Ana as well, and were just as surprised to see her.
"Isn't she Eris' assistant?"
"Yeah, that's her."
"What is she doing here?"
In a confused haze, the reporters began to whisper among themselves.
Ana was not particularly good-looking.
She was a little fat and dressed in plain clothes.
Even now, she was wearing an oversized plaid shirt and jeans.
As soon as she stepped onto the stage, Roger handed her a microphone.
Seeing that, Eris was instantly overwhelmed by a bad feeling.
With her back to the reporters, she sprang up to her feet and glared at Ana.
"What are you doing here? Go back quickly!" she hissed.
The reporters weren't able to see Eris' expression, but Ana was.
Eris' eyes were narrowed in a silent threat.
"Eris..."
Eris lowered her voice and threatened Ana in a voice that only a few people on the stage could hear.
"Do you want your salary this month or not?"
"Eris, I'm sorry!" Eris' heart sank.
"Ana, I've treated you well—"
"You've treated me well?"
Ana burst into laughter as if she had just heard a big joke.Tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
"Ana!"
"Eris, how can you say that with a straight face?"
Whatever humor Ana had found in the situation just now had disappeared, and it was replaced with pure anger.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she shouted, "You've treated me well? In the three years that you've been an actress, I've
worked for you for two of them.And how have I lived in the past two years? Forget about treating me well, have you ever even
treated me as a human being? I'm your assistant, not your nanny! And I'm definitely not your punching bag! In the past two
years, whenever you're in a bad mood, you'll scold me and even beat me! For the sake of money, I just gritted my teeth and put
up with it."
Eris shouted, "Ana, how can you blatantly lie like this? You dropped out of high school, and it was hard for you to find a decent
job in a place like Ywood.I thought you were pitiful, so I hired you as my assistant.For the past two years, I've provided you with
free food and accommodation, and I've even given you a monthly salary of eight thousand dollars.Eight thousand is enough for
me to hire two assistants.How can you still be greedy for more?"
"Even eighty thousand wouldn't be enough for the things I've done for you!"
Ana sneered.
"You..."
"For the past two years, I've had to take care of your work and your personal life.I was on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.On
top of that, I had to order takeout, and cook and clean the house.I did things that a nanny should do! Oh, but that's not even the
worst of it.As long as you were in a bad mood, you would scold and beat me to vent your anger.It's true that someone like me
can't get a nice job in this city! If not for that, do you think I would have let myself be bullied like that?"
"Ana, you..."
"You know something? I can bear even all those things! But when my mother was seriously ill and had to be hospitalized, you
didn't allow me to even visit her.She is my mother! She is important to me!"
Eris pointed a trembling finger at Ana, but couldn't find the words to say.
After shouting at Eris like this, Ana seemed to have released most of her anger.
Taking a deep breath, she wiped her tears and said, "Eris, I used to think you were a nice person, but I was wrong.You're too
selfish.You think the world revolves around you, and you don't care about anyone else.Even though my mother was in the
hospital, you didn't let me take care of her, because in your opinion, ordering takeout and keeping an eye on the news for you
are more important than taking care of my own mother!"
Eris clenched her fists, wishing that she could slap Ana.
"Ana, watch your mouth!"
But Ana just looked away calmly, as if Eris had no power over her anymore.
Turning to the reporters, she announced, "Today, I'm here to reveal what kind of person Eris is."
The reporters' eyes lit up with interest.
After all, the person closest to a celebrity was not a parent or a spouse, but an assistant.
Ana had worked for Eris for two years and practically lived in her house, so it was safe to say that she knew about Eris' deepest,
darkest secrets.
"Go ahead, Ana.What do you want to tell us?" a reporter asked eagerly.
Without saying a word, Ana took out a voice recorder from her pocket.
"What's this?"
"You'll know after you hear it."
With a stony expression, Ana pressed the play button.
Eris' voice came out of the voice recorder, but contrary to the soft voice in which she usually spoke, she sounded hysterical.
"Ha-ha! Wendy, you don't know anything and you still want to fight with me? Look, now people are cursing you all over the
internet.Let's see how you work as an actress after this! Bitch! How dare you set me up in front of Brian? You deserve this! Ha-
ha!"
Her voice paused for a few seconds, before escalating to a shriek.
"Wendy, why don't you just go to hell? Why are you standing in my way? You bitch.Why are you so lucky? Four years ago, you
suffered a hemorrhage and were thrown into the sea.How can you still appear in front of me alive? Do you want to destroy
everything I have now? In your dreams! No matter how many times you show up in front of me, you'll die!"
In the recording, Eris' voice was filled with an abnormal ferocity.
Hearing it alone sent shivers down the reporters' spines.
Looking at the seemingly weak Eris in front of them while listening to her fierce voice come out of the voice recorder, they could
hardly believe that it was the same person.
But no matter what, a person's voice was easily discernible.
Everyone could recognize that this was Eris' voice.
In the recording, Eris mentioned that Wendy suffered a hemorrhage four years ago and was thrown into the sea.
But just now, she claimed to have no idea of what had happened four years ago.It turned out that she was a liar, just like her
mother.
The reporters who had supported Eris just now turned red in embarrassment.
It turned out they fell for Eris' tricks.
Meanwhile, Eris widened her eyes and rushed madly towards Ana.
"What are you doing? Turn it off!"
However, Ana tightened her grip on the voice recorder and swiftly hid behind Wendy.
Looking at Eris running towards her, Wendy gave her a hard push, causing her to fall back on the floor.
"Eris, what else do you have to say?" one of the reporters sneered.
"It's not me!"
Eris tried to explain as she scrambled to her feet.
"It's not me.Wendy must have made a fake recording of me! And then she bribed Ana to frame me It's not me! Believe me!"
‘'Believe you? Humph.Do you think we're out of our minds?” The reporters looked at her with disdain.
After falling down on the floor, Eris' white outfit was stained with dust.
And because she was flustered just now, her long hair was a little messy, and her features were contorted in panic.
Her pure image completely disappeared.
Now, she looked more like a deranged woman.
Slipping the voice recorder back into her pocket, Ana looked at the reporters and said, "This was recorded in Eris' apartment.
If you suspect the authenticity of the recording, you can have it inspected by a professional.
Fear flooded Eris' face, and there was only one thought in her mind.I'm done for!' With that voice recording, her career as an
actress was over.
