Young Jason, can you be a little less embarrassing and act your age? Will you die if you take one step away from your wife? Jason Arnold clutched his chest.

"Popular actress, Kim Ladoria, had been apprehended by the police for deliberating injuring someone. Today, she was let out on bail. It has been reported that once she's formally prosecuted, Kim Ladoria will face five years of jail time!"
Kim Ladoria's eyes widened as she scanned the breaking news on her phone, then she shifted her gaze to the woman seated across from her.
"You're saying that I'm Kim Ladoria, the person in that news article?"
The woman was dressed in a professional suit. She looked at her with an unsmiling face,
"I came to see you today to tell you that Miss Angel decided to offer to settle out of court with you. In return for not suing, she's only asking that you compensate her with twenty million dollars. The full amount has to be paid within a month."
The person sitting in front of her was Sarah Gates. She was her agent. Miss Shen's full name was Angel Lucia, and she also worked under Sarah Gates.
A week ago, Angel Lucia and Kim Ladoria were part of the same cast and crew and filming together. A disputed occurred between them, and Kim Ladoria pushed Angel Lucia down a hill. Angel Lucia ended up with multiple bone fractures and a deep cut on her face that almost spoiled her beauty. For an actress, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
Afterwards, Angel Lucia reported Kim Ladoria to the police, and Kim Ladoria stayed in the police station for a few days. As soon as Angel Lucia filed a formal lawsuit, the fate that awaited Kim Ladoria was a five-year prison term.
However, Angel Lucia had expressed a willingness to settle out of court as long as Kim Ladoria compensate her with twenty million dollars .
"Ladoria, you've been my charge for a long time, so I won't talk in circles with you. The company's upper level executives are unhappy about this matter. The company has already decided to give away your endorsements and roles to other actors and actresses. During this period of time, you have to resolve your problems before we can discuss anything else."
Kim Ladoria was jolted out from her shocked state.
"That's all for today. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Kim Ladoria watched as Sarah Gates departed.
After Sarah Gates left, Kim Ladoria went over the novel's plot in her mind.
Kim Ladoria knew the star she was born under and that she was due for a calamity, but she hadn't expected it to be so bad. After waking up, she had transmigrated into a novel as the supporting female character that had done many nefarious deeds.
The novel was an inspiring story of sweet pampering in the entertainment industry.
The female lead in this novel was Angel Lucia. She was born in an impoverished family, but she was naturally optimistic, benevolent, and worked hard to improve herself and her situation. Because she liked acting and had a beautiful face, she was scouted and entered the entertainment industry.
However, the female lead didn't have a strong family background or any other supporter, so she had difficulty progressing in her acting career. One after another, the female lead overcame difficult hurdles. In the end, she achieved fame and fortune and reached the pinnacle of her life and career.
As for the malicious supporting female character, Kim Ladoria had been able to enter the entertainment industry because of her sweet looks. She had gained popularity after playing the role of a cannon fodder supporting female character in a TV drama and received endless invites. If Kim Ladoria had adopted a serious work ethic and kept a humble attitude, she might have been able to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time.
After all, the stars in the entertainment industry had to withstand the test of time.
There was wave after wave of new stars. Only the people that had genuine abilities could hold onto an invincible position.
However, the novel's Kim Ladoria was a person that favored the rich and disdained the poor. She was unruly and impulsive. Although she had a beautiful face, but it wasn't enough to counteract her actions.
After entering the entertainment industry, she didn't work on improving her acting skills.
Instead, she depended on hype and marketing to attract attention. She had used speculation involving popular actors to increase her popularity. It had reached the point where celebrities would rather take a detour than pass by Kim Ladoria. No one wanted to be associated with her.
Later on, Kim Ladoria hooked up with a rich second-generation. Believing herself as the second-generation's girlfriend, she acted like a tyrant in the entertainment industry and offended many people. She hadn't expected that the second-generation was only playing with her.
The kind-hearted and hard-working female lead attracted his attention. After he witnessed Kim Ladoria giving the female lead a hard time, he claimed that Kim Ladoria was only a plaything he kept on the side. After that incident, he escorted the female lead around like she was the empress, and Kim Ladoria gained the reputation of being a kept plaything.
As for the novel's male lead, he was female lead's boyfriend and had been helping her all along. What was even more interesting was that male lead had once been Kim Ladoria's boyfriend when they were younger, but she had kicked this poor boy to the curb.
