Chapter 231 Bring It On
Sophia’s face darkened as realization hit her–she had underestimated Charlotte.
1/4
She thought she could teach Charlotte a lesson, but instead, she had shot herself in the foot. No matter how furious Sophia felt, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and apologize to
Charlotte.
Taking a deep breath, Sophia said, “I’ll have her apologize to you. Just tell me what you want, and I can make it happen. Can we avoid involving the police?”
Charlotte lounged on the sofa, amusement dancing in her eyes as she watched the once domineering Sophia squirm.
She pretended to ponder the request, letting the seconds tick by in silence.
Impatience crept into Sophia’s voice. “Hey, I’m talking to you. Are you even listening?”
“Call the cops,” Charlotte replied, pulling out her phone.
“You…” Sophia’s words caught in her throat, a wave of frustration washing over her.
She softened her tone, pleading, “Please don’t call the police. Just think it over. I won’t rush you.”

Charlotte raised an eyebrow, enjoying the sight of Sophia’s panic. “Here’s the deal, you need to tweet an apology, saying it was all Agnes‘ doing and that I didn’t cause your arm injury.”
“Absolutely not!”
Sophia shot back, horrified at the thought of publicly humiliating herself.
Apologizing would ruin her reputation! She lifted her chin
defiantly. “I can pay you off. Name your price.”
Charlotte laughed, a sound dripping with disdain. “Do you really think I need your money?”
Sophia was momentarily at a loss.
She was dealing with Arthur’s wife, the heiress of the Hardwick family. Offering cash was laughable.
“Besides, did I actually hurt your arm?” Charlotte’s eyes glinted with cold amusement. “Why should I take the blame for something I didn’t do?”
Sophia clenched her jaw, glaring at Charlotte, but she was at a standstill.
Charlotte held all the cards. If she leaked the evidence online and rallied her followers, Sophia’s carefully crafted image would crumble. She’d be buried under a wave of backlash, and the fallout from Cordell’s casting change would leave her reputation

in latters.
That wasn’t an option she could accept.

Taking another deep breath, Sophia finally relented. “Fine, I’ll do it.”
Charlotte smirked, tilting her chin up. “Let’s draft that tweet now. I need to approve it before you hit send.”
Sophia shot her a venomous look. “Don’t push your luck, Charlotte.”
Charlotte replied with a mocking smile, her eyes sparkling with challenge, “Too late for that. What are you going to do about it?”
She thought, “Sophia can forget about that favor from five years ago–whatever. But from the moment we started working together, she’s been pulling stunts, throwing her weight around, and making it personal. Well, guess what? I’m not playing nice anymore. If she’s got a problem with that, she can bring it on!”
Sophia’s anger flared. She wanted nothing more than to wipe that smug smile off Charlotte’s face, but she was powerless at this moment.
Turning to Agnes, Sophia shot her a fierce glare. “You’re going to post an apology, too, saying it was all your idea.”
Agnes‘ lips trembled as she caught the warning in Sophia’s eyes. With no choice, she nodded, swallowing her pride.

Within moments, Sophia crafted a tweet, tagging Charlotte’s account. She wrote about being overwhelmed with work and not keeping up with online drama. She claimed her arm injury was from her cat and insisted the photos were just throwaways, not final cuts. She even threw in a playful note for her fans, telling them to look forward to the upcoming promotional material.
