All Chapters of THE HEIRESS THEY THREW AWAY: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Their acting skills were evenly matched, each feeding off the other seamlessly, but it was Isabella’s performance in particular that had completely pulled everyone into the scene, washing away much of the bias that had clung stubbornly to her.At the beginning, the fans had been practically praying that she wouldn’t dare touch their beloved Jason.Now?They were on the verge of screaming at her to just do it already.Every small movement, every inch of closeness had them holding their breath, their excitement so intense it almost felt personal.Of course, the moment the director called cut and reality snapped back into place, their attitudes shifted just as quickly.They rushed toward Jason again, surrounding him like moths to a flame—praising him, fussing over him, asking if he was tired, if he needed water, if the ropes had been too tight.As for Isabella?She was conveniently forgotten.…Or rather, ignored.Theo, who had once been the center of attention on set, now sat off to the

The next morning, Isabella was woken by the sharp vibration of her phone.Still half-asleep, she fumbled across the bedside table and answered the call without even checking the screen.A second later, a furious voice exploded through the speaker.“Isabella!!! You’ve really outdone yourself this time!!! I’ve been warning you from the very beginning to be careful with your words and actions, to stop embarrassing the company but look at you now! The entire company has lost face because of you!”Her eyes snapped open.“What happened?” she asked, instantly alert.Lilian’s voice turned even colder. “Go check your Instagram.”Isabella pushed herself out of bed and hurried to her laptop, logging into her account.The moment the page loaded..She froze.Her notifications had completely exploded.Normally, most actors had their social media handled by their management teams. Isabella, of course, didn’t have that luxury. She hadn’t bought followers or run any campaigns. Her Instagram barely had

Because of this brainless girl, Vanessa was close to dying from frustration.“Aren’t you seeing that everyone is starting to sympathize with her because of this incident? Don’t tell me you want her to rise from the ashes and continue acting with Jason?”Vivienne hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she refused to back down.“I’m not going! I’d rather die than apologize to that bitch!”What effect could such a small incident have?All she had to do was buy a few small gifts later to smooth things over with these people.Vanessa saw that Vivienne couldn’t be persuaded, so she could only leave things as they were and hope she wouldn’t cause any more trouble.It was already a foregone conclusion that Isabella’s reputation would be destroyed. No matter what schemes she tried, she could only rely on petty tricks like these.How could she possibly turn things around?Vanessa estimated that the mysterious sponsor behind Isabella would abandon her soon enough. After all, who would want a lo

Isabella had just dropped her phone when it vibrated again.She glanced at the screen.…Alexander.She let it ring once.Twice.Then picked up.“Hello?”On the other side, his voice came, calm and steady.“The matter doesn’t look solved.”“That’s your opening line?” she muttered, leaning back against the couch.“…You’re injured.”On the other end of the line, Alexander stood by the window, his gaze distant.Julian leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching him with interest.On the couch, a small figure sat quietly, holding a writing board.Her fingers stilled.Of course he knew. Video clips were everywhere.“It’s nothing,” she said lightly. “Just a scratch.”“You were bleeding.”“Dramatic exaggeration.”“Isabella.”Her name—low, controlled—carried just enough weight to make her pause.“…It’s already treated,” she added, softer this time.Julian raised a brow slightly from where he stood.“…Good,” Alexander said after a moment.Then, quieter—“Are you home?”She shifted slig

After returning to the room, Isabella abruptly recalled that she had forgotten something extremely important. She still hadn’t found out how things had gone after releasing that video last night. She opened her computer and quickly browsed for the information she was looking for. The video where Vivienne had failed the scene 33 times was already a hot topic. The comments section was filled with scoldings, while Isabella’s surprisingly good acting had gotten favourable comments. Following that, everyone was starting to suspect that the post that claimed that Isabella was sleeping around the set was false. Closely after, one after another, there were anons revealing that Vivienne had used the excuse of filming to act on her private grudge. She had maliciously slapped Isabella while filming a scene, she even slapped her assistant, and she would throw her weight around and trouble the crew members, etc…Up until the end, all the artistes and production crew members who didn’t like Vivi
