The gazes of everyone gathered squarely on Zola and Salma. Watching Salma’s extremely aggrieved expression, the staff hurried over to help her up. Salma appeared to have fallen. heavily, seemingly unable to move her feet. Even taking a small step caused her to scream. in pain.
“Miss Moore, should we take you to the hospital?” a staff member asked.
“The event is about to start, there’s no time for the hospital, Salma replied in pain, “I just can’t walk. I can’t make it to my seat.”
“Let me try to help you,” the staff member said cautiously.
“No! It hurts!” Salma cried out in pain.
“Well… The staff member didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Salma seemed indifferent. “I’ll just sit here,” she said, pointing to Zola’s seat. Zola, a top–tier female star, currently held a prominent position in the entertainment industry, if not the absolute first, at least in the top three. Salma, on the other hand, did not even achieve second–tier status and was considered a third–rate celebrity, To be honest, she had not qualifications to sit in such a central position..
“Miss Moore, this is Ms. Yvette’s seat. If you sit there…
“Any problem? She tripped me, so sitting in her seat is only fair,” Salma said matter–of- factly.
The venue was filled with celebrities at this moment. Although celebrities were professionally trained and unlikely to casually comment, some were “sisters” whom Salma had bought with money in the industry, and they immediately understood Salma’s intentions. One of the actresses commented, “In the industry, it’s said that a certain A–list star has always been generous and not arrogant, treating new actors very friendly. But now, just because she could not be the one to close out the red carpet and take the spotlight, she harbors resentment and seeks revenge on purpose. It’s really lacking in character!”
“That’s right,” another actress chimed in, “Now that a person right here is injured, and she’s not even willing to give up her seat. It’s nauseating.”
“Even if she had good luck and won some awards in big productions, anyone else with the same opportunity would be more successful. She’s just showing off for no reason. But,

“Luck? Don’t you know she’s notorious for using improper means…” Another actress. intentionally left it unsaid, and she continued, “Unlike Salma, who comes from a wealthy family but has never bullied anyone due to her background. She’s dedicated and professional in acting, never using her status to secure roles!”
“Speaking of which, I remember someone snatched roles from Salma through sleeping. with others, but Salma never complained. Now, it’s just the position of the last guest walking the carpet, and she can’t tolerate it!”
Zola’s expression turned cold. The voices behind her were audible enough for many people around them to hear. Salma heard it too, and a wicked smile crept onto her lips. She thought to herself, ‘Fortunately, I was clever enough to buy the support of some second and third–tier actresses to speak up for myself. Now, let’s see how Zola would handle this.”
At this moment, Zola, calmly and unhurriedly, stood up from her seat. Salma smirked in triumph and thought, Zola dared not truly provoke me. She’s just an arrogant actress who overestimated her abilities.”
“Want to sit in my seat?” Zola looked coldly at Salma.
“I can’t move my legs. I can only sit in your seat,” Salma said, acting innocent.
“Is that so?” Zola sneered. The anger in her eyes was evident. She, Zola, had been renowned. for her strong and assertive personality since childhood. When she was a little girl, she had a stubborn temper and would fight anyone. Even Joel had been made to cry by her.
“Since Miss Moore likes to take advantage of broken legs so much, I’ll grant your wish. I, Zola, have never shouldered unwarranted blame!” Zola said, emphasizing each word. With that, she raised her foot in high heels and kicked fiercely at Salma’s leg. There was no one in this world that Zola wouldn’t dare to touch. She exerted force. Salma naturally noticed Zola’s actions, but she didn’t expect Zola to publicly attack her. Just as she was somewhat panicked, her body was suddenly pulled away by someone.
At the same time, Zola’s kick landed directly on a man who had appeared out of nowhere. For sure Zola knew the level of force she used, coupled with the sharpness of high heels. She could imagine how much pain Salma would be in if the kick had landed on her. However, she didn’t expect the kick to hit squarely on Leopold’s lower leg.
Leopold endured the pain for a moment. The pain caused his leg to visibly tremble. Zola couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at Leopold. Salma was also shocked by his intervention. Her heart raced, completely mesmerized by his sudden heroism. Zola

clenched her fists, coldly staring at Leopold, watching him bend down to pick up Salma without showing any expression and leave in front of her.
“So. Leopold has truly fallen in love with Salma. Zola’s eyes were noticeably red as she thought to herself. There was even a mist in the depths of her eyes that she couldn’t swallow. She lowered her gaze, trying to control herself, and said inwardly. I can never cry for Leopold. Tears shouldn’t be so cheap. I cried enough in the past, not worth it! She sat down slowly. Sitting there, as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Leopold placed Salma in her designated seat and left without hesitation.
“Mr. Cavanaugh. Salma reached out to stop him.
“If you don’t want me to turn hostile, let go of me,” said Leopold, threatening in a low voice. Salma could feel his anger for some reason. For some inexplicable reason, despite saving her, he seemed to hate her to the core. She gritted her teeth and released Leopold. The man didn’t look back and walked towards his seat.
The gala had not yet begun. However, there were murmurs and discussions around.
“I thought it was just a rumor. I didn’t expect Mr. Cavanaugh and Salma to be really together?”
“Mr. Cavanaugh is not a particularly serious person, but I didn’t expect him to be so gentle with Salina. A princess carry, so manly!”
“Mr. Cavanaugh is so charming! The first time I went to film with him, I thought he was a newcomer actor because he’s so good–looking.”
“Did Salma hit the jackpot? She comes from a good family, beautiful, although her career in the entertainment industry hasn’t been smooth, she’s not short of money. Now, she has a boyfriend like Mr. Cavanaugh. So envious…”
Zola listened indifferently. As she continued to listen, she suddenly chuckled. She was just reminded of her past with Leopold. Leopold was adopted by her grandfather and brought back to the Hayden family when he was ten. At that time, she was only five and didn’t understand much. She just thought Leopold looked fresh and cute. With her cousin often abroad and rarely returning, and playing with Joel and the others when he did, she had nobody to interact with at home except Leopold. For a long time, she liked to follow Leopold around. But, Leopold had always been lukewarm towards her.
