Chapter 1089
Ninian headed to the restroom when she noticed not everyone was there yet.
The discomfort that she felt finally disappeared when she washed her arms with cold water for three
minutes. No one in her family knew that ever since the assault three years ago, she had become
particularly sensitive to outsiders touching her, especially men.
Her good upbringing kept her calm on the outside. But deep down, she could feel a wisp of disgust and
rejection gradually growing in her heart.

Fortunately, this time it was just an accident, and Paul was a close friend of hers. Her discomfort was
not too severe, and she could just barely suppress it after rinsing her arm.
Ninian returned to normalcy again when she headed back to the set.
The shooting went by smoothly.
When it ended, Ninian went to the restroom. But
someone blocked her way.
When she looked up, she saw Agnes staring at her with a hint of jealousy and resentment in her gaze.
Agnes‘ beautiful and elegant face showed a sinister and arrogant
expression at the moment.
“Ninian, do you think you can make Everett stand up for you just because you have a pretty face? Do
you see how reluctant he was? He took two days off already just so he could avoid you. Are you upset
about it?”

Before Ninian could respond, Agnes continued, “Oh, I almost forgot, a shameless person like you won‘t
feel sad.” She covered her mouth and said, “You‘ll only start looking for and seducing your next target
with your innocent face. Everett is not around, so you‘re targeting Paul. You‘re onto him because Paul
came from a decent background, aren‘t you? You‘re disgusting!”
Ninian‘s expression darkened.
She grew up in a loving and caring environment, and the people she met were kind and gentle.

To be jealously targeted by a stranger with such intense malice for no reason was an unfamiliar
situation for her.
Even so, she was not afraid. She lifted her chin up and looked at Agnes. Her initial good–girl, gentle
gaze turned cold.

Those who knew the Winters siblings, they would definitely find that the gentle and charming little
princess looked just like her brothers and sister when they were angry. “Ms. Mitchell.” Ninjan said in a
clear and calm yet cold
voice, “Making wild guesses and resorting to wanton insults. Legally speaking, this will constitute legal
action for defamation. If this happens again, I‘ll have to meet you in court!”
Ninian left after she said it, without wasting any more time with Agnes.
Agnes was in shock, perhaps it was how intimidating she looked earlier all of a sudden.
By the time she came back to her senses, Ninian was gone.
“Stand right there!” Agnes rushed forward , wanting to grab Ninian‘s hand.
Unexpectedly , Ninian‘s gentle, fragile body avoided her movement in an instant. She even raised her
foot and made her fall to the floor.
Agnes fell hard on the floor.

Meanwhile, Ninian stood beside her and looked at her coldly. There was not even one slightest hint of
gentleness in her gaze.
“I‘m really curious.” Ninian said, “Why are you so mean to me?”
‘Agnes has been mean to me; in the dressing room, at the staircase, and even now, she‘s still looking
at me resentfully.
‘I‘ve asked myself if I have had a conflict with Agnes
before. Even if we‘re rivals in a romance drama, I can‘t compare myself to her. I‘m just a small actress
who plays pitiful roles, and she‘s the protagonist.
‘She‘s Agnes, what have I done to offend her?‘
Agnes‘ eyes teared up when she heard Ninian‘s question. She gritted her teeth and tears started
welling up in the corner of her eyes.
