"Miss Su, you have no right to keep us here." Liao Yang gritted his teeth as he realized that this woman wouldn't let this go so easily. He hadn't even noticed that a group of bodyguards was camping outside the tent, keeping everyone inside Tang Liyan's tent.
Since Tang Liyan was a celebrity and Bellissima's newly appointed endorser, the company would naturally give her the perks that Bai Qingyue enjoyed. Wasn't this the reason why some of them were upset? They thought that Tang Liyan was only trying to ride Bai Qingyue's coattails to increase her popularity.
"Is that so?" Su Xiaofei rested her chin on the back of her right hand as she looked at the photographer with scrutiny.
"Since you are the one in charge of this production, I'll hold you accountable for what happened here. Rest assured that what happened today will be reported to Bellissima and I will make sure that none of you…" She paused, as her cold eyes swept around the rest of the crew. "...would get another job in the future. I will make sure that whoever dared to hire you would be aware of what you have done today."
The rest of the crew were rooted to the spot, not expecting that this scheme would be turned against them by this woman. Did Su Xiaofei have the ability to do what she had said? They wondered.
However, as they looked at Su Xiaofei's murderous look, shivers ran down their spine as they regretted covering up each other. Some were starting to consider coming clean to Su Xiaofei, just to avoid being implicated.
"So, what do you think we should do, Mr. Liao?" Su Xiaofei continued, daring the photographer to antagonize her authority. If she couldn't have the last laugh in her past life, this time, she would make sure to let him know what regret and helplessness feel like.
"Zhang Ling, what are you waiting for?" She continued, not breaking her gaze with Liao Yang. "Don't dilly dally anymore, go, so we can end this once and for all."
"Yes, Miss." Zhang Ling hurriedly went outside without a problem, leaving Su Xiaofei on her own.
She wasn't worried that Su Xiaofei would be left unattended for the meantime. Aside from the flock of bodyguards stationed outside, Zhang Ling didn't think that any member of the crew knew how devious Su Xiaofei was once she was attacked.
"How certain are you that the culprit is one of us?" Liao Yang finally asked once Zhang Ling left.
"Hmm?" Su Xiaofei turned her head and looked at Zhao Jingmei. She didn't think that the young woman had it in her to betray Tang Liyan. It was impossible for the other camp to bribe Zhao Jingmei to do all of this.
"Didn't the hotel management assure us that no other guests are allowed to enter this vicinity? That they've already blocked all possible entry points so that no strangers would be able to sneak in? So who else do you think could do this? I don't think the hotel security was lacking or anything, as I've seen them roaming around before we entered. It would be bad for them if someone did sneak in while the photoshoot was going on." She said in a matter of fact tone, giving the photographer no chance to refute her claim.
"Fine, but if the authorities prove you wrong, you better apologize to all of us." Liao Yang demanded with irritation. He couldn't believe he was losing in an argument with a woman. He used to have the final words whenever he was in charge, not like this.
"And what if I'm right?" Su Xiaofei challenged, certain that she wouldn't lose this time. "Do you even know that the dress the culprit ruined is mine and not Tang Liyan's? That dress was a limited Chanel dress from last season. Once I find the culprit, I will drain her life savings and make her pay for the damages." Su Xiaofei held her chin high and wouldn't admit defeat.
"If this issue was leaked out to the public, do you think your photography team would still maintain their credibility after this?" She added, clearly threatening them.
"We didn't do anything wrong." Liao Yang insisted furiously. Su Xiaofei was really going all out if she dared to ruin their reputation in public. He also feared that this would cause a strain on his working relationship with Bellissima and other companies he's affiliated to.
"You are the ones who keep implying that someone sabotaged your talent's dress and stole her things. Why should we be held accountable for someone else's negligence." He then shot a glare in Zhao Jingmei's way, further angering Su Xiaofei in the process.
Zhao Jingmei's face blanched in terror, fearing that she would be the scapegoat of the real culprit if she couldn't prove her innocence today. She glanced at Su Xiaofei, begging for her help to clear her name. If she had known that this would happen, she shouldn't have left their tent earlier.
"Tang Liyan had sent Zhao Jingmei for an errand during the photoshoot. Do you mean to say that Miss Zhao has a double or a twin sister we don't know that did this horrendous thing? Don't worry, Mr. Liao, once the police and the hotel security are here, we will find out what really happened."
"Don't be ridiculous. I know each and every one of my crew and I know they are nothing like what you implied they are." Liao Yang was really tempted to smack Su Xiaofei's face to shut her up. He didn't know where Su Xiaofei's confidence was coming from, but he decided to put her in place!
Su Xiaofei shook her head and sighed.. Since no one was willing to step forward and admit their sins, she would drag them to the pits of hell and make sure they regret provoking her today. What kind of villainess would she be if she couldn't fuck up their lives?
