No one would come to uphold justice as long as they were not involved.It was a tacit understanding of adults that they should only mind their own business.Perhaps some people would sympathize with that assistant, but they wouldn’t offend Regina just for her.Rosy lowered her head and walked in silence.Although Regina stayed in the hotel these days, Rosy was not qualified to stay there as well.The budget was tight to begin with. Only the leading roles and directors could get the best accommodations. The rest could only stay in a cheaper motel.When Rosy walked to it, a figure appeared in front and stopped her in the way.She looked up and saw Portia’s serious face.Priscilla finally got her make-up done and walked to the set slowly.Regina also felt she had enough rest. They would play against each other for the next scene.The sisters had taken the most important roles in the series, and they played rivals. Naturally, there were quite a lot of scenes where they would need to play
“Cut!”Vines’ voice rang out again.He tamped down on his annoyance and said to Regina, “The emotions were wrong there. Remember, you might be the former Empress, but you still need to have some backbone when facing your hated rival who deposed you! That was too weak, you looked like a handmaiden. I need more strength on your temperament, got it?”Regina’s face grew sour.But she still nodded.“Take three!”“You’re lower than a Dog in the gutter at this point. What makes you think I’d show any interest in such a pitiful creature?”“If you’re not interested, then why show up here today?!” Regina yelled.“Cut!”Annoyed, Vines stood up from behind the camera, pointed at Regina and said, “What are you thinking going so hard up against the new Empress? You’ve been deposed and you’re defenceless. She can strangle you to death at a thought; are you trying to get yourself killed speaking to her like this?”Regina’s expression sank completely.She couldn’t hold it back and retorted, “You told
“Didn’t Regina win the best actress? Why is she this crappy? I heard the character should be a strong and tough woman originally. Even though she’s now a deposed Empress, and she can’t show that strong side too much if she wants to live, that performance was way too weak!”“Yeah, I read about this character when they introduced her with the script. And her crying is way too fake! Not even a tear.”“Is that all a movie star is capable of these days? If that’s the case, I feel like I could be a movie star.”“Please! Movie star? More like a trash actress!”“What are you talking about? Regina got her award with ability. You just sound like you’re jealous!”“Ability? Give me a break! I’m not buying any of it.”“Yes, everyone knows what happened when they were electing for the awards. She’d been about a hundred thousand votes away from first place in the last thirty seconds, but then she got all hundred thousand votes within those thirty seconds. Heh, they said the votes were calculated by
A few minutes later, Portia came back, utterly confused.“I don’t get it, why’d you let her go? She had that server drug you! Regina must be behind this! If she’d only speak, we’ve had proof to use against your evil sister!”Priscilla chuckled. She took a look at the time. It was getting late. Time to get back to shooting. As she walked out, she said, “She wouldn’t stay and testify for us if we kept her here, so what’s the point?”Puffing up, Portia glared at her, “But still you shouldn’t let go of her so easily. As long as you want, I can let her tell the truth by all means.” Priscilla turned her gaze at Portia worriedly.“Portia, calm down!”Priscilla knew that Portia was not just some ordinary bodyguard.She had never seen a bodyguard as agile and good at fighting as Portia before.Fredrick let Portia protect his wife to ensure she was safe and sound. It could be concluded that the lady bodyguard must have some strengths.Seeing Priscilla’s look, Portia was somewhat annoyed and sc
In Priscilla’s view, it was simply inhuman!The best food was not from Michelin-starred restaurants but from a street food stall.Frederick wouldn’t agree with her. In his opinion, the snacks were junk food.How could his wife have such dirty food?Priscilla didn’t bother to argue with him and followed his advice. Now that she was on the set and Fredrick was not here, she could eat whatever she wanted.She felt wonderful after being full and felt Rosy pleasing to the eye.She ate too much. Instead of sitting down, she stood by the window with a glass of water, with one elbow on the railing idly.She looked at Rosy and asked, “Do you want to say it or not?”Rosy pursed her lips without a word.Priscilla’s gaze turned cold, “Do you think that I have no way if you don’t say it?”Rosy kept silent.Priscilla sneered, “Regina got something on you. Have you ever thought about it? If I call the police, I will be arrested and imprisoned for at least half a year. If you are in prison, what shou
Her fan base was too small to exert a large influence on the Internet, so no one noticed they had set up a fan club.Priscilla was quite happy to be recognized by them.She chatted with that Like-A-Fantasy for a while before she logged off. Then she put away her phone and headed to the set.When Priscilla arrived at the set, Regina saw her and immediately walked over.Regina looked sullen, so Portia subconsciously stood in front of Priscilla to protect her.Seeing that, Regina looked gloomier, but she stopped. “Where is Rosy? Where have you taken her?”Priscilla raised her eyebrows. There was a hint of mockery in her cold and indifferent eyes. “Isn’t Rosy your assistant? If your assistant is missing. Does it have anything to do with me?”Hearing that, Regina was fuming with anger.“Stop acting. If you hadn’t taken her away, I would have found her!”Priscilla sneered, “You said that I took Rosy away. Do you have any evidence?”Regina was at a loss.When Portia took Rosy away, they were
“Yes. We have seen you two lovey-dovey several times after we got here. Please take more care of us as we are still single.”“Are you just going to be so lovey-dovey every day? You fall in deep love with each other. When will you get married?”Regina smiled and looked at Ryan.Ryan looked at the person who asked the question and smiled faintly.“Soon. I’m going to formally propose marriage to her family and then get married after her part is finished.”Hearing his answer, these people became more surprised.Then they even directly gathered around them and asked about their marriage.Seeing this, Priscilla lowered her head. She curled her lips slightly and then went into the room.Not far away, Ryan had seen her. When he glanced at her and found she had gone back into her room, he felt his heart aching.Someone pulled him and said, “Mr. Smith, since you are getting married to Regina, and we and she are also friends who have shot a drama together, so don’t forget to invite us when you g
“Wait!”Priscilla frowned.A wave of nausea swept over her. She violently shook off his hand, took two steps back, and looked at him coldly.Ryan’s hand froze in mid-air.He was stunned. He found Priscilla didn’t look well. She took a silk handkerchief out from her bag wiped the wrist he had just held and then threw the handkerchief in the nearby trash bin.“Don’t touch me! Just say what you want to say!”Ryan felt his throat blocked and suddenly had a particularly uncomfortable feeling.He felt that his heart was covered by something. It was stuffy, but it didn’t hurt very much. He just couldn’t say anything.He pursed his lips. After several seconds, he said softly, “Okay, then I’ll come to the point.”Priscilla appeared very calm and wasn’t willing to give him a look.Although Ryan felt uncomfortable in his heart, he also knew that everything now was the fruit of his actions. He couldn’t say anything to defend himself.So, he said directly, “I went to Spark Land a few days ago.”Pr
The grand ballroom of the Aurelian Hotel shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, golden hue over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Tonight, it wasn’t a place of betrayal or whispered plots. Tonight, it was a temple of love, a sanctuary where Priscilla and Fredrick would finally seal their bond.After everything they had endured—the deceit, the threats, the near-death experience—tonight was a testament to their resilience.And tonight, in front of the world, they would celebrate it.Priscilla stood in the bridal suite, her reflection staring back at her from the full-length mirror.The gown was breathtaking.A masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate pearls, the off-shoulder design framed her collarbones perfectly, while the flowing skirt cascaded down like a waterfall of silk. A delicate veil, embroidered with shimmering crystals, draped from the crown of her head, a silent promise of the sacred vows she was about to take.She exhaled slowly, running her
The woman’s gaze was sharp, unyielding, her dark eyes filled with something dangerous—something primal.Hatred.She stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, her fingers tightening around the stem of her champagne glass as she watched Priscilla from across the room.Priscilla, radiant in her emerald-green gown, moved through the crowd with effortless grace, smiling, laughing, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond her vision.She doesn’t deserve any of it.The thought slithered through the woman’s mind like venom.She was supposed to be nothing—an unwanted child of the Waals, an orphan taken in out of charity. Yet she had grown up in luxury, had been given love, attention, and a family name.While she…She had been the outsider.The adopted daughter.The replacement.Priscilla was the real daughter. The one they truly loved.And for that, she had to die.She had spent years waiting, biding her time.Hiding the bitterness beneath practiced smiles. Perfecting the art of deception.But
Everyone was merrier as they celebrated.Lourdes felt a little bit awkward when she saw Ben.Ben, on the other hand, kept staring at Nancy.Although she had given birth, she was still as pretty as ever, but now it seems this pretty lady hates him.He wore a sullen look and kept staring.Andrei came over and tried to tease Him.“Hey Ben, you seem so lost staring at that pretty lady over there. Are you aware your recent ex is here? How do you do it? Nancy has given birth, definitely she is taken!”Ben stared at him coldly, “ I’m aware she has given birth, and as for Lourdes, we never really dated.”Ben thought of something, then smiled.He walked over to Lourdes.They chatted and kept smiling at each other and laughing so loudly.Lourdes enjoyed his company and wished that the relationship they had could become real.On the other hand, Nancy kept staring at them.She was having mixed feelings. Priscilla observed that her face didn’t look so good and she asked, “Best, are you okay?”Nanc
In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and drink.If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”Nancy blinked.“What?” Ben frowned.“You didn’t hear me?”“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”Ben sneered.“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”Nancy’s temper flared.“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”Ben ignored her completely. “I have no faith in you.”She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make my meals while pregnant, do you?”Ben shot her a look.He seemed to think about it.“If you could, why not?”“Bastard!”Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Ben’s mood inexplicably improved.“Relax.
How could this man be so hateful?He knew she couldn’t do anything. He knew she had nothing left. Why was he still pressuring her to this point?Ben sneered.“If I decided to come after this child, what can you use against me? Your half-baked techniques? Or are you going to tell your father and have me beaten up like four years ago?”Nancy jolted.Endless cold raced down her spine.She looked at him icily. “You can certainly try.”Ben paused, then said, “But your father probably won’t treat me like this now, will he? After all, four years ago, I was just a poor kid with nothing, no match for his sweet daughter. But things are different now. I’m the heir to the Silvester family. Think about it. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with my seed, wouldn’t he be so happy he carts you over in a horse-drawn carriage?”“Don’t go too far, Ben!”“I’m just telling the truth, aren’t I?”The two stood there as dead silence took over the still atmosphere.Nancy glared at him with eyes full of
Nancy’s birthday was coming. Priscilla was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn’t celebrate her birthday.Since Nancy went abroad, she had only been in occasional contact with Priscilla.She didn’t even contact her father and brother.Priscilla couldn’t raise her opinion. She could only care about Nancy as much as possible, lest she feel lonely abroad.On Nancy’s birthday, Priscilla called her at the stroke of midnight. The call was put through soon.Nancy’s delighted voice came, “Priscilla!”“Happy birthday!”“Thank you.”Priscilla couldn’t help being amused by Nancy, “To be honest, have you missed me?”“Of course, but you never come to see.”“Don’t worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Fredrick and I will come together.”“What if it’s a daughter?”“It’s better. Ann can keep her company and take care of her.”Nancy shook her head, “You’re lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child.”Priscilla’s smile froze on her lips.“Can you manage i
She knew full well what kind of person Fredrick was.He looked cold, but in reality, if he acknowledged someone as one of his people, he usually took their business personally instead of being so cool about it.Frederick looked at her deeply.“Do you still remember what I told you when you asked me about Hadassah?”Priscilla started.She thought about it and realized.“Is it…”“Yes, I’m just that selfish. I don’t want someone to come back and disturb our little world, and I don’t want any trouble. So I don’t care whether we can find that child or not.”Priscilla had to laugh.“Why are you like this? They’re raising such a fuss while you’re here talking behind their back.”Fredrick leant over, smiling as he wrapped an arm around her waist.He snuggled in close to her face, the tips of their noses touching.“Yes, that’s how I am. I don’t care about anything other than you.”“Darling…”Priscilla hadn’t let it go yet, but her lips were already being sealed by his in another entangling kis
The restaurant was high-end for Milton, but it was not good enough.And the standards that William seemed to have made it quite clear that he wasn’t the type of person who’d eat at a place like this.He’d come today either because he was in a hurry or because something special had attracted him.Priscilla was curious about it, but they didn’t know each other too well, so she didn’t ask about it.The two went into the restaurant, chatting as they ate. The atmosphere was quite friendly.Still, she didn’t know if she was imagining it or not, but she felt that the way William looked at her wasn’t quite right.The passion he was showing wasn’t like someone who’d only met her once or twice at all.Priscilla put herself on guard as she asked, “Are you in the city for business, Mr. Curtis?”William replied, “I’m looking for a person.”“Oh? May I ask who you’re looking for?”William paused, then chuckled, “An old friend’s child.”At that, he didn’t continue. Seeing that he wasn’t willing to s
In the past, the Waals family was headed by Rose and Katherine, so to get Rose on your side, you pulled Regina to your side, only to get their family into the Smith family. Now that Rose’s in trouble, Regina and Katherine are facing charges, you’re afraid that it’ll affect you or the Smith family, so you’re trying to give her the boot and come back to me. Do you think everyone’s as stupid as her, Ryan? That they’ll just stand by and become your plaything after you feed them your lies?”Ryan’s expression grew ugly.“What are you saying? Am I such a person in your mind? I’ll admit that things aren’t good between me and Regina right now, but things hadn’t been going well even before this mess. I’m not trying to give a coup de grace here!”Priscilla had to laugh at his audacity. “You’re not trying to give a coup de grâce? You’re serious, Ryan Smith! Do you even believe your own words? I’m telling you, I would have respected you more if you took responsibility and still stood with her, but
