CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 145: EATING PRISON FOOD

"Isla, what are you saying? It’s obviously you..."

"Julia Timberlake!" Ivy Willis shouted sharply, cutting her off, then grabbed her hand, her face full of regret, but her eyes icy cold.

"I know you’re doing this for my benefit, but you shouldn’t have done something like this."

Julia Timberlake looked at her, her heart sinking completely, realizing Ivy Willis intended to sacrifice her, filled with both anger and annoyance.

It was her own idea, and now she expects me to take the blame?

"Julia, just admit it." Ivy Willis said, her voice slightly deeper, tightening her grip on Julia’s hand with an unmistakable warning.

Julia Timberlake’s heart turned cold; she had done so much dirty work for Ivy Willis, and now that things had been exposed, she was being cast aside?

Her cheek was still smarting...

Bella Green watched the interaction between the two of them, raising an eyebrow, realizing that Ivy Willis wasn’t going to solve today’s issue.

She bowed her head, suddenly recalling some things from her past life.

Actually, in the previous life, Ivy Willis also stepped down from this drama group because of certain things, and the actress who replaced her...

She suddenly looked up, a smile growing slightly on her lips.

"Didn’t expect Miss Willis’s assistant to be so scheming. It’s better not to keep such people around." Bella Green suddenly said with a cheerful smile.

Julia Timberlake turned her head angrily towards Bella Green, clearly seeing it as instigation and manipulation.

"Isla, I..."

"Julia, don’t say anything more. With what you’ve done, I can’t keep you around; you should leave." Ivy Willis said ruthlessly.

Julia Timberlake panicked instantly, gritting her teeth, "Isla, you can’t fire me. I’ve done so much for you; you can’t just turn your back and not recognize me!"

These words made Ivy Willis’s face darken; this little witch dared to threaten her?

Ivy Willis took a deep breath and continued: "I know you did this because of your mom’s medical bills, trying to please me. I promise you, the ten thousand dollars I mentioned before will be given to you, but you really can’t stay by my side."

Julia Timberlake’s eyes flashed; her mother had long since passed away, and how could she not understand that Ivy Willis was offering hush money?

As an assistant to Ivy Willis, she earned only a few thousand a month; ten thousand was money she could never make in a long time, and she was immediately swayed.

Bella Green’s mouth curled slightly, even though she didn’t intend to let Ivy Willis leave the group, she had no intention of letting her off easily.

"Miss Willis is really generous, but as a victim, I don’t intend to let this go. Even if it’s just an attempt, there’s still time to serve for intentional injury, isn’t there?"

Hearing about jail time, Julia Timberlake was startled and swayed again.

"Stop spouting nonsense; you obviously weren’t injured. At worst, I’ll compensate you for it." Ivy Willis hurriedly said.

"You probably aren’t married yet. I wonder, if you have a criminal record, will it be easy to find a husband later? It might even be hard to find work?" Bella Green ignored Ivy Willis and continued.

Julia Timberlake was terrified; she was just an ordinary person, and hearing about the police and jail, how could she not be afraid?

"You can’t call the police; this was all Ivy Willis’s instructions." Julia Timberlake was utterly frightened; she certainly wouldn’t destroy herself just for ten thousand dollars.

As someone ignorant of the law, she didn’t know that Bella Green was merely scaring her.

Ivy Willis cursed "useless," and immediately continued to explain: "That’s not true, Elowen Timberlake, don’t make false accusations."
