“Again?” William raised an eyebrow. “Am I not welcome?”“It’s not that.”Layla walked over and sat on the chair across from him. She poured herself a cup of hot water, taking a casual sip. “I just think this is a film set. There are a lot of people around, and if you keep showing up so often, it might start affecting my work.”Rumors were already spreading among the crew. Layla didn’t care what others thought about her, but this was Seth Mason’s project. He cared deeply about this film, and she didn’t want her personal life to disrupt the team’s focus.“The project I’m overseeing here will wrap up soon. You won’t have to worry for much longer.”William’s expression briefly tightened, but he quickly changed the subject. “I heard Sean made a statement on the internal network this morning.”“Yeah, I saw it. I imagine things are pretty lively at Perry Corporation right now.”Layla wrapped her hands around the warm cup, her expression thoughtful. “Sean’s current situation doesn’t loo

“Keep your voice down!” Chris hissed, lowering his voice, afraid that Shane’s outburst would reach their father’s ears.But it was already too late.A furious shout erupted from the hospital room. “Let her come in and see me!”Chris shot a glare at Shane, silently cursing his brother’s inability to control his temper. When would he finally learn?Shane clenched his jaw, trying to keep his voice down. “Chris, I’m angry for you! How can she have the nerve to ask you to help her? This is ridiculous! You might be able to tolerate it, but I can’t!”He turned to face Xena, his expression darkening. “Xena, look yourself in the mirror. What have you ever accomplished? Besides causing trouble for this family, what can you do?“Back then, you said you wanted to study photography, wanted to enter the entertainment industry. Didn’t the family support you? And what happened? You couldn’t even compete with Layla!“Look at her now, and look at yourself. Do you really think you have what it tak

At that moment, Sean stood outside the Jenkins estate. He was pale and visibly weak, attracting the curious stares of the neighbors.He had slipped out of the hospital early that morning, determined to see Kiera no matter what. By now, the hospital must have realized he was missing, and his phone was probably being bombarded with calls.With a sigh, he turned off his phone. Just then, the villa’s door swung open, and Kiera stepped out. Sean’s eyes lit up immediately.“Kiera! You finally agreed to see me!”But Kiera stopped at the iron gate, making no move to unlock it. She looked at him through the intricate metal pattern.“What are you doing here? Didn’t you receive the court notice?”Sean rushed forward, gripping the iron bars so tightly that his desperate face pressed against them, startling Kiera.His once sharp, confident features were now shadowed by a sickly, defeated look. His face was pale, his cheeks sunken, and his eyes burned with desperation. Even the muscles of his

“I don’t know what Miss Xander wants.”Kiera’s hands tightened into fists, her nails digging into her palms as she fought to keep her voice steady. “But I know one thing—she saved me.”It wasn’t just about giving her the courage to get divorced. It was about teaching her to pursue what she loved, to rediscover herself. Layla had taught her how to let go and how to find herself again.“Sean, you really are a piece of garbage.”With that, Kiera turned and walked away without looking back, as if even staying a second longer would stain her soul.“Kiera! You’ve been brainwashed by her! You can’t just be her weapon!” Sean’s desperate voice chased after her. “For Grandpa’s sake, you can’t just stand by and watch Perry Corporation be destroyed!”But all he got in response was the cold, unforgiving slam of the villa’s front door.On the other side, Kiera leaned against the door, her body trembling uncontrollably.Quinn hurried over, her face full of concern. “Kiera, what’s wrong? What

As Layla approached, she immediately noticed Olivia with a fresh wound on her forehead, blood trickling down her cheek. The crew around her was scrambling, trying to tend to the injury.“What happened?” Seth asked, his brows knitted in concern.“Miss Spencer has been eating too little lately. She probably had a dizzy spell from low blood sugar and fainted. Her head hit the edge of the table,” the young assistant explained, clearly distressed. “I shouldn’t have been distracted looking at my phone! When Miss Lindsay gets back and sees this, she’s going to kill me!”“It’s fine. It’s just a scratch. Does it really take a crowd to fuss over me?” Olivia brushed away the blood with her hand, chewing on the candy the assistant had hurriedly given her. Her voice was slightly muffled but carefree.“Actually, the knock woke me up. I’ll look even more energized on camera now. Perfect for the role—my character gets beaten up all the time. The makeup artist can even save time adding a fake bruis
