Chapter 127 Not The First Bullying Incident.
It wasn’t the first time Coco got bullied. Once during a gathering, Gwyneth intentionally sent the others
away and left Coco alone at the club.
Another incident was during their collaboration for a commercial. It was a winter day with snow falling,
and Gwyneth deliberately had Coco smiling in the cold winter breeze, clad in thin clothing. She even
purposely dragged things on, so Coco was close to being a frozen snowman by the time she was done
filming.
Thinking back on all her past experiences, Coco didn’t have a single nice thing to say about the arrogant
woman in front of her.
She turned to Christina and said, “Let Ms. Lawson use my spot if she wants it since she’ll need more
time to conceal the wrinkles on her face.”
“Coco!” Gwyneth shot to her feet and stormed over to them with anger on her face.
She wasn’t happy about Francis splitting some of her resources with Coco as of late. She’s a woman
with no background, yet she wants to snatch away my resources, I’ll take that as a challenge.
“Mr. Fernando specifically hired Christina to be my stylist, so if you want to employ her, call Mr.
nando first,” Coco rebutted.
Francis said I was the only one getting a stylist, so I’m not conceding, regardless of what Gwyneth says.
Gwyneth planted her hand on her hip and glared at Coco. “Do I need to spell out my relationship with.
Mr. Fernando for you? You’re just a country girl. What right do you have to stand on this stage as a
celebrity? I guess your fans are either brainless or country bumpkins like you. Why else would they like
you?” she scorned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGwyneth’s family had always been wealthy. She had been an art student since she was young and spent
her earlier days studying in a music school abroad. That was where she met and got acquainted with
Francis. The two then returned to the country to kickstart their career.
Francis established his own studio, Francis Entertainment, after achieving success as an actor. Gwyneth
joined without a second thought the moment she found out about Francis’ company.
She had performed well for the past years and earned a hefty profit for the company, so she was
considered a favorite.
Coco’s starting point was different from hers. Coco had learned and trained at small organizations.
Naturally, her curriculum vitae were severely lacking compared to Gwyneth’s.
However, the only difference was Coco’s years of backbreaking training. She had focused on improving
her acting skills, which finally paid off in the form of Francis’ acknowledgment.
Christina stood in front of Coco, worried the latter’s dress would be stained. “You lack caliber for
speaking like that. Both of you are celebrities, so insulting her as such is basically criticizing yourself.”
Even though Christina knew the entertainment industry was ugly like that, Coco was not only her partner
but also her friend.
She couldn’t stand there and watch others mock Coca

Sensing the tension in the air, the surrounding photographers and production assistants gathered around
them to watch.
Gwyneth’s features twisted in anger. “You better not think you’re somebody. You’re just a no-name stylist!
Believe it or not, but one word from me, and the majority of the big shots in the entertainment industry
won’t collaborate with you.”
Her threatening eyes fixed on Christina’s face.
A mere stylist dares to challenge me? Everyone who takes Coco’s side is my enemy.
Coco was enraged but didn’t want to affect Christina’s career. Instinctively, she grabbed Christina’s wrist.
“Leave it, Christina.”
“Leave it? I won’t drop the matter if you don’t kneel down and apologize.” Gwyneth snorted.
Her dislike for Coco was amplifying as of late. She figured she should use this chance to teach the newer
celebrity a lesson.
With a sneer on her lips, Gwyneth crossed her arms across her chest, perfectly embodying the word
“arrogance.”
Kneel and apologize? Gwyneth dares to demand us do something so humiliating? This has obviously
crossed a line! How are we supposed to keep our pride intact in the entertainment industry if we kneel in
public?
“You’re crossing a line!” Coco had planned to bury the hatchet by apologizing, yet she didn’t expect
Gwyneth to rack it up a notch.
Gwyneth merely stared them down with cold eyes that held a gleam of envy. “I want you to regret ever
showing off in front of me. Do you think you’re a big deal since Francis gave you a chance? Guess
whose side he’ll take with one word from me?”
The benefits she brought to the company were more than Coco. Naturally, any top management would
choose a more valuable artist. Plus, there was a long-time rumor flowing in the company.
Gwyneth liked Francis, hence her lack of hesitation injoining his company when it first started. Any new
artist who wished to get closer to Francis would have to face Gwyneth’s attacks.
Recently, Coco hadn’t only received Francis’ attention but also a few good endorsement deals. Naturally,
her colleagues would gossip about her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll the gossip reached Gwyneth’s ears, and she took it as Coco’s shameless attempt to snatch Francis
away from her. That was why she singled Coco out.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we call Francis over and see how he deals with this?” Christina asked.
She refused to believe Francis didn’t have a sense of morality.
Gwyneth looked like she had heard something unimaginable. They dare to call Francis over?
During their argument, the production assistant had discreetly recorded a video of the scene and sent it
to Francis. Francis immediately raced over once he saw the video.
The crowd parted for him to pass through.
“This place is used for filming, not for an argument. Why are none of you working?” Francis approached
them in a black shirt with a wine-red tic, looking more serious than usual.
His overly-cool gaze was like the cold, icy water. It deterred anyone which it landed on.
The crowd instantly dispersed like small critters scattering away.
Usually calm and gentle, Francis was a completely different person whenever there was a dispute.
It was a first for Christina to see such a serious-looking Francis. Studying him in further detail, his
presence was much stronger than Nathaniel’s, but their features when tense were quite similar.
“Francis, this makeup artist and Coco are bullying me Hurry up and help me!” Gwyneth immediately
rushed to his side and complained as though her pillar of support had arrived. “I want them to apologize
to me no matter what, or I’ll be angry. Once I’m angry. I can’t focus on work. Francis, hurry up and make
them apologize!”
At the heel of her words, Gwyneth even sneered at Christina.
Seeing the closeness between the two, envy filled Coco. Everyone wanted recognition from their bosses,
and she was no exception.
However, she wasn’t willing to take the injustice lying down.
“Mr. Fernando, I didn’t bully Ms. Lawson. She was the one who started it. I just resisted, as is the normal
reaction.”
With a frown, Gwyneth snapped, “Shut up!”
