My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 221-225

Chapter 221
Rose let out a scream, her head turning to the side. A smug Elyse was going to lecture her, but Rose shot her a glare and swung her hand straight into Elyse’s face. Elyse covered her face as she stared at Rose in disbelief. “How dare you?” Rose put her hands on her hips, harrumphing. “What? Do you think I won’t retaliate? Are you stupid?” She huddled closer to Elyse and poked her. “Do you know how much money I can make? If you were to ruin my face, I would ruin your future. Fortunately, I am a generous woman. So, how will you settle this? Compensation or apology?”Already incensed by Rose’s arrogant attitude, Elyse couldn’t stand for her further bragging of the resources she had. The resources she stole! Livid, she slapped Rose once more, but Rose wasn’t one to back down that easily, and they got into a tussle. However, Elyse came from money, and she was no match for Rose, who had seen and been through society’s darkest side. Eventually, Elyse’s hair became unkempt, her shirt was torn, and her face was clawed. She was pinned down by Rose like a defeated cat.Not even Elyse’s assistant came to help. She was sick and tired of Elyse’s exploitation and constant yelling. Everyone else stood by and watched. Elyse looked down on them in the past, after all. Some even stayed far away lest they got dragged into the mess. The fight went on until Donia came.A tattered Elyse was dragged back up. She felt her scalp roaring in pain, and her face was burning. Her whole body was screaming out, and her legs were buckling.Donia shot her a look of disgust before handing Elyse a mirror. “Look at yourself.”When she looked into the mirror, all Elyse saw was a mad woman. A madwoman with disheveled hair, messy clothes, and a face covered in bruises. Tears were streaming down that woman’s cheeks. Is that… me? Aghast, she touched her hair, and the woman in the mirror mimicked her movement as well. She then opened her mouth, and that madwoman did the same as well. Stricken by grief, Elyse hurled the mirror away and covered her face, shrieking.What happened to me? This isn’t me. I’m supposed to be perfect. I’m supposed to have perfect hair and perfect makeup. I’m supposed to be impeccably dressed!“Oh, shut it!” Donia snapped. She wouldn’t even give Elyse a moment of her time. Her attention was on Rose. “You injured her face. How do you expect her to work tomorrow? What if the investors decide to pull out? Elyse, are you dumb or something?”Elyse looked at

Rose. Aside from the slap on her face, she looked as perfect as ever. Her clothes were straight, and her hair was perfect. She looks practically unscathed. This is so unfair!Donia ignored Elyse and quickly rubbed some salve on Rose’s cheeks, working through all the necessary actions to make sure she could heal faster. Even so, she still thought Rose should be seen by a doctor. And so, she called one.Elyse stared dumbly. Donia would only do that for her in the past. But she’s changed. As soon as I’ve lost my worth, she’s changed. How could she! How could she abandon me? Elyse hated her guts.Rose approached her, and she whispered, “Don’t feel angry. You’ve been in this industry for years. You know how they are. They only care for those who have value to them. Anyone who’s useless is nothing to them.”Elyse clenched her fists and glared at Rose, but Rose chuckled and turned the other cheek, challenging Elyse to slap her. Even though she was overwhelmed by anger, she still couldn’t do anything to Rose. Donia said she would press charges if Rose were hurt. If that happens, I’m done for. Eventually, Elyse pulled her hand back. With all the strength she could muster, she left the company without shedding a tear. However, the moment she got into the car, she burst into tears, agonizing over the unfair treatment she was given. Eventually, she got exhausted from crying, and she slowly stopped. Then, she pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears away. When she raised her head, she saw her assistant staring at her, and she frowned.She was just going to yell at her assistant, berating her for not coming to comfort her, but her assistant said, “Donia called. Since you don’t have any projects, this car is wasted on you. So, they’re taking it back tomorrow.”Infuriated once more, Elyse raised her hand and was about to slap her assistant.The assistant added, “Don’t blame this on me. Donia said that. If you want the car back, tell her.”Even the assistant is mocking me! Elyse’s face contorted with rage, but she didn’t slap her assistant. Instead, she punched the car. Dammit. Everyone’s coming at me just because of one canceled marriage. I’ll show them. I’ll show them all. A long while later, she told her assistant an address. “Drive.”She was heading to an investor’s home. He invested in five movies and asked her to play the leading role in three. She tried her best to doll herself up, but the scars couldn’t be hidden, so she wore a pair of sunglasses and a mask. Fortunately, it was the pandemic season, so nobody would think she was disrespectful for wearing a mask.In the past, Donia would arrange everything for Elyse, and the assistant would only have to take her to the meetup spot. Though, she now had to make the

calls and do everything herself. Just for this meeting alone, Elyse had to make at least 20 calls. After much bureaucracy, she had to tell them Leo was her friend before the investor would see her. It was infuriating, but she sucked it up. She needed the movies. She needed to return to the top.The investor was a Gingham local. He was dressed casually and was having tea in a tea shop.Elyse approached him. With a silvery voice, she called out, “Mr. Oates.”John Oates looked at her, frowning when he noticed the mask, yet he said nothing about it. “Here. Have some tea.”She took the seat across from him and placed her hands on the coffee table. “Mr. Oates, about the movies… You know how serious I am about acting, and I’m more experienced than Rose. And I’m famous, too. If I can get the leading role once more, I promise I can do better than Rose ever can.”John ogled her and popped a petite pipe into his mouth. Then, he sucked on it twice and puffed a ring of smoke out. “Of course, I can give ya the show, Miss Clayton. But y’know, Rose sacrificed somethin’, so ya gotta sacrifice somethin’ too. Y’know what I’m saying?”Um, I don’t know what you’re saying. Elyse looked at him, and John winked flirtatiously as he pointed at her chest. She quickly covered it up, but he said he was just going to kiss her.The moment he touched her, Elyse tensed up and was going to give John one tight slap, but she put her hand down right away. This is my last chance. If I don’t give him what he wants, I’m done for.Remember what Donia did to you. Remember what Rose did to you. You’ve got to be strong. Get famous, and then get back at them! Her arms hung limply by her side, and she closed her eyes, holding her disgust down as John did whatever he wanted with her.He groped her chest and moved his perverted hand up to her mask. However, when he took it off, he balked. “Da hell is this?!”

Chapter 222
Elyse opened her eyes and saw John holding her mask, looking at her with disgust. Her face had scratches and bruises from the earlier fight she had with Rose, and her fair skin only made her wounds stand out even more. He tossed the mask back to her. “Great. Now, my mood is spoiled.”“Your mood is spoiled?” She held the mask and stared at the man in disbelief. I stooped to your level and gave myself to you, you bumpkin! Yet, you now complain about me spoiling your mood? I will not stand for this insult!Her eyes went wide with anger, and she wanted to raise a hand against him.John ignored her anger, however. He sneered and moved far away from her. Then, he took the teapot and drank straight from the spout. After that, he spat and fiddled with some marbles. “I’m not a trash collector. I don’t sleep with… ugly things.”Elyse retracted her hand and touched her face.Without further ado, he waved away at the bodyguards. “Toss her out.”She never thought the day would come when an investor would toss her out. They used to beg her and even worship her. Damn it. They’re doing what they please just because of the breakup. Short-sighted *ssholes! Though, she had no one to rely on.With no one to turn to, she could only watch helplessly as the bodyguards pulled her up and dragged her away. “You can’t do this, Mr. Oates! You’ll regret it!”However, John ignored her. He was on the call with someone, and then he laughed raucously, his jowls trembling. Just when she was about to be tossed out, he said, “A minute, please.”Did he change his mind? Just from a phone call? Elyse had no idea who made the call, but they had to be so powerful that John was scared of them. Someone came to my aid. She thought it was her fan. She had a lot of fans, and some must have known about her predicament. My fan must have helped me out.Thinking she was saved, she flung the bodyguards’ arms away and gave each of them two tight slaps. “Unhand me, you curs.”Hey, we’re only following orders given by Mr. Oates. That slap wiped off what little sympathy they had for that woman, but she did not know. She only knew she felt better after slapping someone.Elyse would have hit John as well, but she had no idea if her helper was powerful enough to pin John down, so she spoke softly, “Can we negotiate now, Mr. Oates?”He nodded. “Yes.”She was delighted to hear his affirmation. Good. Just you wait, Rose. Once I rise to fame again, I will destroy you.“Thank you, Mr. Oates. I shall get prepared now.” She put on the best

smile she had.“Oh, we’re not in a hurry.” He sat down. “I have two roles for you. Pick whichever you want.”“Two roles?” Oh my gosh. Who is my helper? I can’t believe he’s offering me two roles. Wow, my helper must be powerful. Elyse was excited, but she didn’t show it. Instead, she adjusted her sunglasses and wore her mask. Slowly, she asked, “What kind of roles are we talking about?”“One, a servant. She dies in the first episode. She has three scenes and dies with her body mangled and broken up,” said John slowly. What? A servant who dies after three scenes?! And dies with a mangled body, too? The acting industry was filled with all kinds of roles, but any veteran would be reluctant to take roles that had a horrible ending. They said it would bring misfortune. Naturally, someone who was used to taking the lead roles like Elyse wouldn’t take the job.“T-That is preposterous! Insulting, even!” She was shivering in fury.John explained nothing. He added, “You can have the lead role as well.”She didn’t like how he was looking at her, but she couldn’t refuse the allure of the lead role and quickly nodded. “I’ll take that!” Good. That was just some kind of bad practical joke.“Oh, let me finish. Rose said you could have the role, but you must f*ck the bodyguards first. If they’re fine with your service, then we can move on to the negotiation.”She tensed up at that, her delight disappearing immediately. Rose wants me to f*ck those pigs? Impossible! I had to hold back a lot just to force myself to sleep with John, and now, she expects me to sleep with… a lowly bodyguard?!The bodyguards were over the moon as they stared at her with unbridled lust in their eyes. She’s losing her fame fast, but she is still a celebrity. There’s no way we can sleep with one with our pay. They had been wanting to sleep with a celebrity ever since they saw their boss sleeping around with them.Unfortunately, John never shared, and yet he was going to give them an A-grade woman now.Elyse couldn’t ignore the lust. They were being too obvious. She saw their eyes widen as they rubbed their hands together. She had no doubt they would tear her clothes apart if given the chance.She thought having no movies to star in was bad enough, but she now knew it was just the beginning. When the bodyguards came near her, she couldn’t hold back any longer and slapped them once more. Infuriated, the bodyguards pinned her on the ground, rubbing her face against it. Her injured face got worse. It was crushed, smashed, and bumped against all kinds of hard surfaces. Instead of helping, John recorded a video of it for Rose.Left with no choice, Elyse called Ashton. When Ashton came, she looked like a broken doll lying on the

ground. She was not violated, but her dignity was gone. All gone. When she saw him, she crawled into his arms, crying. John and his bodyguards were long gone when Ashton came.Elyse wouldn’t stop crying. She almost suffocated halfway through.It’s her first time relying on me. Ashton was delighted. He kept comforting her, patting her head and back time and time again.Yet, comfort was not what Elyse wanted; it was revenge. She raised her head and gripped his arms so tightly that he thought his bones were going to break.“You need to help me, Ashton. Drag Rose out from whatever hole she’s hiding in, and then punish her.” She must suffer as much as I have suffered. No. She needs to suffer even more than that. She must suffer at least ten times the suffering I have gone through.Elyse’s eyes were filled with dark vengeance.

Chapter 223
Ashton winced and frowned at the pain he felt. “I don’t have an issue with punishing her. But… she’s with Mr. Oates now, and if Mr. Oates finds out I was the one who punished her, he might tell my father about it. I’d no longer get any allowance if that happened!” he cried. Elyse was speechless for a while. Ashton was usually an independent and firm man—he often claimed that he was capable of doing anything that he set his mind to. However, now that he had to actually deal with an issue, he simply turned into a big baby! She was disgusted to hear that Ashton still collected allowance from his father. She was tempted to just shove him off a bridge. He’s worse than I am!“Are you saying you can’t even deal with someone like Rose? You’re so…” Elyse wanted to say that he was useless, but she held her tongue back at the very last second. I’m already in trouble now, and I’m practically at the bottom of the food chain at this point. He’s the only influential friend I have now. I can’t afford to offend him—how would I keep myself alive then?After a while, she was finally able to hold down her contempt toward Ashton and softened her tone as she said, “If you don’t wish to go against Rose, it’s fine, but I’d like to work under your company. The people at the company I’m working in at the moment are awful, and I don’t want to work with them anymore.”“Well…” Ashton was still hesitant. He appeared to be a powerful figure in the public’s eyes, but he didn’t receive much respect in the Lowe Family. He was the youngest of the three sons in the Lowes, and his elder brothers were extremely capable and skillful. They both held significant roles in the company and received a lot of their father’s attention and care.Ashton, on the other hand, never had an interest in running a company. He was a dreamer who enjoyed envisioning and imagining unrealistic scenarios, yet he was also a man of all words but no action. He hadn’t accomplished much in his whole life. His father didn’t even bother masking the fact that he was avoiding Ashton, treating him almost as if he was a pest.“Well, you know how inconsiderate Leo was when I last helped you. He was the reason my father found out about it. My father doesn’t have a good impression of you now, so it’s practically impossible for me to hire you at the company.” He scratched the back of his head helplessly.He can’t do anything at all. What a useless guy! Elyse was fuming—she cursed at Ashton in her heart. “Isn’t there anything that you can do?” She couldn’t contain her temper
