Chapter 447

He lost not only this play, but also all his hopes. He never had a chance to turn his life around.

"How could this happen?"

Thinking of Winston’s hopeful look toward this play, I couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy in my heart.

Vonnie was also looking forward to the release of this play, hoping to become famous through it. During the filming period, she had been working hard like that all the time. But now, all her efforts have been in vain; she must be very sad now.

Reynaldo stared at me heavily and sneered, “Do you feel sorry for him?”

“No!” I felt very agitated in my heart, and I asked him in a bad tone, “What happened in the end? The film has already been shot, the preparations for the release have been completed, why can’t it be released suddenly?”

When I asked this question, I suddenly remembered that day at the wrap-up ceremony, Reynaldo said to Winston, “Don’t make promises too early, wait until you have made a name for yourself.” And the words he said to Anton also seemed to be full of meaning.

I furrowed my brows and looked at the man in front of me with some disbelief, “Could it be… you’re the one behind all this?”

He had just talked to someone on the phone and was also mocking Winston’s defeat, going crazy, saying that this was a lesson for Winston. So, was it really him who was secretly plotting against Winston behind his back?

Reynaldo stared at me coldly, with a hint of mockery always playing at the corner of his lips. He laughed as if self-mocking, “Oh, look, in your eyes, I am actually so despicable.”

I looked at him and didn’t say anything. Actually, I also think that with his arrogant and domineering personality, he wouldn’t engage in such petty actions behind someone’s back. But his conversation with Winston and Anton that day, as well as his recent phone call, made me involuntarily start to doubt.

Perhaps my suspicious look was too obvious, Reynaldo laughed even more self-deprecatingly. He suddenly spoke, saying softly, “Yes, it was me who was behind it all.”

“What?” I stared at him in astonishment.

He approached me and sneered, “I want him to fail miserably, I want him to never be able to turn things around! He thought it would be easy to mix in the market. He thought with the support of his family and your help, he could succeed. Oh, he thought too simply. Weren’t you just hoping for him to become stronger, and then come back to you? I told you, it’s not possible, never possible!”

“Enough, Reynaldo!” I pushed his chest and angrily said, “You are just crazy. That movie was also invested in by you, but you even disregarded your own investment just to suppress him. The hard work of those actors, that play was also performed by their efforts. Just because of your personal grudge, you ruined all their efforts, Reynaldo, your heart is truly narrow to the point of being disgusting. Moreover, Winston…”

“Esmeralda!”

“…is your brother!”

Reynaldo suddenly grabbed my shoulder and pushed me against the wall behind me. His chest heaved violently, his face was cold and terrifying, and there was a terrible hostility between his eyebrows. I stared at him intently, my heart tightening gradually. I was wrong. I angered him again, and made him lose control again. I just softened my attitude to please him, which was not very likely, and also not helpful to him. I was just so angry when I thought that Vonnie would be disappointed and upset because of this play.
