Chapter 442 - Little by Little

Inside a dark and messy room, the faint sound of tapping on the phone and cursing echoed.

There were scattered glass shards on the floor, many things were thrown down everywhere, and even the blankets and pillows were on the floor.

However, none of it perturbed the young woman who was kneeling on the floor.

On her hand was her phone that was full of cracks on the screen. Aside from the dim lighting coming from the only remaining intact nightlight in one corner which dimly illuminated the interior of the room, the only bright light inside the room was the small ray of light coming from the phone.

It shone on a woman's thin face.

Xiong Wuyue had been constantly checking on her phone.

She had already checked it several times today. To be precise, she had been watching the news constantly in the past couple of weeks. But all of them were about the grand opening of some amus.e.m.e.nt park.

There was not a single information in the news about which actress got the role of the 'Lone Star' she had wanted to star as.

Why?

Xiong Wuyue gritted her teeth, muttering.

She stabbed at her phone harder and tried her best to find some news about her father being released, pardoned, or anything.

But there was none!

"Why?!"

It was almost a month!

She had been hiding for almost a whole month already! Why?! Why was there not a single piece of news about her father being released by the media?!

And also the announcement of her role!

With a raging madness bubbling inside her resurfacing again, Xiong Wuyue angrily threw her phone at the broken full-length mirror at one side.

The sound of glass breaking somehow calmed her heart. But even when her state of mind returned to reality, it was still all the same. Her situation did not change at all.

She was still inside a hell hole where no one could help her. No one comforted her, no one promised to do things for her, and no one wanted to avenge her grievances.

'Daddy...'

Her tears welled up.

Xiong Wuyue missed her dad.

But thinking that her father was the one who brought her to this desperate situation and gave her such an unbearable humiliation, her sadness turned into grievances, then blame, then anger again.

It was a vicious cycle. Lost in her madness, she began tearing down anything she could get her hands on again.

That useless father!

Why must he drag her down!

Didn't he say that he treasured her the most? Then why did he do this to her?! What kind of face could she show to the public?! What about her career in the entertainment world?!

"AGHHH!!!"

Feeling breathless, Xiong Wuyue pulled at her hair and shouted in a hoarse voice.

She picked up and threw things down, her mind swallowed by the surging anger and hatred she was feeling in her chest.

The emotions were overwhelming and she only knew that she needed to vent it all out, or else she would truly turn crazy!

She hated this! She hated them all!

The screams and crashing inside the room continued for a long time until the person inside seemed to exhaust herself finally.

After venting out her anger, she felt the familiar emptiness in her body as if all energy was drained from her. She kneeled down lifelessly with a thud.

She had not eaten a proper meal since that scandal so she was feeling very weak.

When Xiong Wuyue fell down, she was facing the broken half of the mirror. Under the dim lighting, she saw how messy she looked like in the reflection.

In the broken mirror, there was a woman wearing a crumpled nightgown.

Her long hair was messy and dry. The sunken eyes, dark eye circles, dry lips, and pallid skin made Xiong Wuyue wonder for a moment who was the ghost in the mirror.

Due to the recent unfortunate incident of her father getting arrested, held in the trial, and imprisoned, as well as her reputation being dirtied without any water army to clean up her mess, Xiong Wuyue lost all courage to go out.

She did not want to see people pointing their fingers at her in mockery. She constantly watched the news like a starving ghost and vented her emotions continuously to the point that she had forgotten to take care of herself in the process.

Three weeks ago, just one week after her father was put into jail, she visited the entertainment company under Xiong Empire to request for a new medal manager because her former manager had gone missing.

Yet when she came, the staff who had always fawned over her did not even bother greeting her and gave her a cold shoulder.

When she got angry about the treatment and told them that she would tell her father about their rudeness, she got laughed at instead.

Right on her face, those despicable people dared to say that they would be waiting for it!

They even continued on to say that if she missed her father so much, then she could join her father in jail instead. The gall! Their hateful eyes were clearly filled with contempt and schadenfreude! How dare they?! They were just mere ants!

It was so infuriating that Xiong Wuyue, who was already not in a good mental state, lost control and became violent that she slapped their faces and began throwing things at them.

The head director tried to stop her but instead got hurt in the process too.

As a result, even the security was called and she was driven out.

She. Was. Driven. Out!

She could not believe it! She was the most beloved young miss of the Xiong family!

She was the Queen of the Entertainment World, the Showbiz Queen!

How could they do that to her!

Xiong Wuyue stared at the dark circles under her eyes.

Due to stress, she became thinner. She was already very slender and thin but due to having no appetite in eating these past weeks, she now looked malnourished.

Her skin turned yellow without the proper nutrients from her daily diet and due to lack of proper sleep. She even forgot her skincare. She had not seen her face in the mirror lately, or rather, she had not noticed because she was lost in her anger while venting out.
