When Zhang Ke dropped the “Yes” bomb, the press conference reached its unprecedented climax. The confirmation from Zhang Ke was the nail in Ling Tianya’s coffin – she was indeed a despicable person!

Sheng Dan stood by Zhang Ke’s side, looking at Ling Tianya with a stern look. Then she said to Zhang Ke righteously, “Don’t be afraid, tell them everything you know!”

Ling Tianya sat back down in her seat. “Yeah, whatever you know, let’s hear it.”

Zhang Ke bowed her head and gathered her spirit. When she looked up, her eyes were already full of determination, and her voice was no longer shaking. “I started working for Miss Ling five years ago. Her debut novel Beauty Hunt, which was adapted into the TV show, suddenly became popular overseas. She was too busy to handle all the writing invitations and other business, so she posted an ad looking for an assistant.

Among all the candidates, I was not the most educated or experienced. I was very surprised when I got hired. It was not until much later that I realized that she chose me exactly because I was not the best. That way she didn’t have to worry about me; worry that I would surpass her one day!”

The reporters were shocked to hear that and started to look at Ling Tianya with contempt in their eyes.

Ling Tianya’s brows tightened slightly as her fingers tapped the table rhythmically, but she didn’t say anything to defend herself.

Zhang Ke continued to speak, “Since I became her assistant, I have been taking care of everything for her. I did my best, hoping one day I would see my work on the big screen. She promised me that too. No matter how hard I tried, for five years she was never satisfied with what I wrote. My work was either deemed worthless or got thrown directly into the trashcan. At first, I really thought I was not a good writer. Then, I started to find the same content that I wrote in her work.”

“What! Screen writer Ling Tianya was copying her assistant’s work!”

Ling Tianya’s frown became deeper, and her fingers were still tapping on the desk.

At that point, the Internet had blown up. All thanks to Guan Meiyi’s arrangement, the whole press conference was streamed live on the Internet.

Qu Wan and Madam Ling were watching everything closely in front of the monitor at home. Madam Ling’s face had turned from green to purple, her dead tree branch of a hand pounding on the coffee table. “Lord have mercy! How did the Ling Family produce scum like Ling Tianya?”

It was worth noting that the press conference was not only broadcast live, the Ruan Family was present too. After Ling Tianya was exposed as such a despicable person, would the Ruan Family agree to let her in their door? Would Ruan Zeyan still be willing to marry her?

“Shameless!” Madam Ling was livid. If it wasn’t for Ling Tianya, Guan Meiyi might have married Ruan Zeyan by then. At that point, the relationship between Ling Tao and Guan Jianlin was in turmoil. Ling Tianya created the debacle. Even if the Guans were able to become in-laws with the Ruans in the future, who would care about the Lings?

Looking at the expression on Madam Ling’s face, Qu Wan felt extremely satisfied.

Back at the press conference, the story about Ling Tianya copying others’ work was out. What the reporters really cared about was whether she gained power using her face.

Zhang Ke paused for a moment before carrying on, “Ling Tianya’s beauty is obvious to everyone. When she was abroad, she was also very popular among the foreigners. Ever since I started working for her, there have been plenty of occasions where she would go out with the director, producer, or investor and spend the night out. When she came back to China, Mr. Ruan from the Yuan Teng Corporation seemed unhappy with her at the beginning, which resulted in the project not going smoothly. One day I saw Mr. Ruan leaving her apartment, soon after that, he proposed to her!”

The outside world had always thought that Guan Meiyi would marry into the Ruan Family, and no one expected Ruan Zeyan to change the object of his marriage proposal last minute.

After hearing what Zhang Ke had said, it was obvious that Ling Tianya had seduced Ruan Zeyan and pushed Guan Meiyi out! Everyone started to have sympathy for Guan Meiyi, and their opinion towards Ling Tianya turned from contempt to disgust…
