Kristian's hand holding the knife and fork paused, he lifted his gaze to the person opposite him, looking displeased, "Were you following me?"Tiffany's lips curved into a beautiful smile, "Of course not, I came here with my friends. I saw you and Deegan Adkins eating here earlier and didn't want to disturb you. But when he left, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say hello to you."Kristian looked at her and found it difficult to swallow the food. He decided to put down his knife and fork and leaned back against the back of the chair."Now that you have said hello, you can leave."Tiffany, with a smile on her lips as if she couldn't see the man's annoyance, said, "Kristian, we have known each other for many years. Do you remember how I used to follow you like a shadow, but you always had a cold face? However, what you said that day was really hurtful, and I don't think liking you is something unreasonable. If you don't like me, you can just say it, and I won't bother you any
Madeleine saw Tiffany talking to Kristian with a sweet smile on her face, and her heart felt sour.Although she managed her facial expressions well, she was still caught by Karter, who suggested changing restaurants for dinner.Madeleine did not refuse, she nodded in agreement.The two of them left the restaurant, and Karter asked Madeleine what she wanted to eat.Madeleine had lost her appetite, everything she ate tasted the same. She looked up and saw the restaurant across the street, "Let's go to that one."Karter noticed her desolation and took her with him.When ordering, he also noticed that her mind was elsewhere."Do you like Kristian?" Karter asked directly.Madeleine suddenly lifted her gaze, "Did you figure it out?"Karter sighed lightly, "Your expression said it all. But it seems like Kristian has someone by his side now. That woman seems to be quite famous."Madeleine nodded, "Her name is Tiffany, the queen of variety shows.""You are beautiful and have a good personality
Madeleine pressed her temples and spent the night in a daze, dreaming about Kristian.Seeing herself and Karter trending, she let out a sigh.These paparazzi really have nothing better to do. They can even create rumors just from having a meal.She called her agent Makenzie and as soon as the call was connected, she heard a woman's roar on the other end."My ancestor, why did you only call back now?"Madeleine quickly moved the phone half a meter away from her ear, "Lower your voice, it's too loud.""Did you see the news?""I saw it, it was just high school classmates having a meal, the media always likes to stir up trouble. I have nothing to hide, I'll just find someone to handle the public relations."Makenzie felt a headache, "The company had already dealt with it, but rumors spread like wildfire. You better post a tweet to clear your name."Madeleine sighed, "Fine, I'll finish getting ready and then send it.""You send it now!" Makenzie was absolutely furious, "You have such a ner
Madeleine looked at her with a meaningful smile and said, "There were many opponents, please teach me more."She prepared to go back and study the role carefully, aiming to make some changes and convince the director to cut that scene.At that moment, Kristian walked over with his assistant Bryan."Congratulations on getting the role of the female lead."Madeleine inwardly sneered, as this was already a settled matter.If it weren't for Tiffany causing trouble, we wouldn't have gone through it again.Perhaps Tiffany was so confident because she relied on Kristian's influence.She felt nauseous with all the insincere congratulations now.However, he had just helped her with the testimony, and with so many people present, she couldn't just embarrass him in front of everyone.Tiffany walked up to Madeleine and said, "Kristian, what about my role as the second female lead?"Kristian didn't give her an extra glance and looked directly at Madeleine, "Your earring is in my car, do you want t
In the private room, the dishes were all set.Karter undid his cufflinks, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing a strong and muscular forearm. "Since you've treated me to a meal, let me handle this task."Madeleine smiled lightly, "Okay, then I won't compete with you."Karter held the forks and dipped the meat into the barbecue. His fingers were slender, and his arm lines were smooth. The way he dipped the meat was pleasing to the eye.Madeleine propped her elbow on the table, resting her cheek on her hand, and asked, "Karter, why did you go abroad in the first place?"Karter's actions did not stop as he lowered his gaze. "You know, my family's financial situation wasn't good. Coincidentally, there was someone who sponsored me to study abroad. It was an opportunity that couldn't be sought after, so I went abroad. I only slept four to five hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent studying, all in order to succeed and return with honor as soon as possible."Madeleine nodded, "It
Madeleine came to her senses and, in the dim and unclear light, looked at the handsome face of the man, her eyelashes trembling.She pushed the person away, very angrily saying, "Why do you think you can take advantage of me?"Kristian glanced at the people in front of him and said, "Do you want everyone to know that we are here? And then expose that we were just kissing?"Madeleine was grateful that there was no one else around. She wiped her mouth forcefully and then tried to get up and leave.She could not leave, as her wrist was held tightly by a man.Kristian pulled the person into his arms, restraining her from moving."Eating, watching a movie, what's next? Will we do some of the things that you and I just did with Karter?"Madeleine listened to the cheerful laughter in the theater, but her heart was stung by the man's words, leaving a bitter taste.He always had the ability to make her unhappy!Madeleine exclaimed indignantly, "I don't need to report to you about who I dated!"
Makenzie had something come up, so she didn't go with Madeleine. Instead, Madeleine was accompanied by her assistant Ariana.After Madeleine boarded the plane, she asked the flight attendant for a blanket and then put on an eye mask to prepare for sleep.Woodmerrow is a seven-hour flight away from Splin Town. The plane arrived at 1 am, and it would take another half an hour to collect the luggage and go to the hotel.Because Madeleine was in a hurry and there were no good flights, she had to settle for this time.Fortunately, the first-class cabin was very quiet, and combined with the heavy worries she had been carrying these days, she fell asleep before the plane even took off.Ariana has been with Madeleine for two years since the previous assistant resigned due to pregnancy. She still knows Madeleine's temper and preferences quite well.She knew that Madeleine must have been in a very bad mood, which is why she chose this time to leave Woodmerrow.She watched as Madeleine's blanket
Madeleine's question made Ariana's heart skip a beat, and she chuckled, "I don't feel anything. Even though we are heavily armed, it is still possible for someone to recognize us."Madeleine thought it made sense, "You're right, let's hurry up and buy things. If we get recognized, we won't be able to leave for a while."Ariana nodded, it would be dangerous if she encountered another crazy person like Callie or if a hater caused harm to Madeleine.Although she knew that Kristian and Bryan had been following them, it still couldn't guarantee their safety.Madeleine bought a lot of things, some of which cost quite a bit, which made her feel very accomplished.She and Ariana walked along the old street towards the exit, carrying bags and packages, getting ready to go back to the hotel, after all, it was inevitable to be recognized if they ate here.Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle came roaring.The bustling crowd screamed in panic and scattered.Madeleine reacted quickly, and Ariana, w
Tiffany came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw a man sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a gloomy expression on his face.She was startled and instinctively covered her chest. "How did you get in? You scared me to death!"The man pressed his tongue against his molars, "Madeleine had an accident, and you had someone do it."This is an affirmative sentence, not a negative one.Tiffany chuckled and picked up the red wine from the coffee table in front of the man, pouring it into a tall glass.She put down the wine bottle and was about to pick up the tall glass when her wrist was grabbed by the man.Tiffany lifted her gaze and looked at the man. "Karter, are you coming to my place so late because you want to sleep with me? You look good, and I agree to have a deeper conversation with you..."Karter pulled the person, while his other hand tightly grasped her neck.Tiffany raised an eyebrow, "You enjoy playing this kind of game? I just didn't bring any tools, otherwise
Although it was a scene of a cliff being pushed into the water, it was built along the riverbank with a green backdrop, and it will be composited in post-production. Only the water below is real.There was a large net underwater that could lift people up at any time. The actors, apart from getting wet and feeling the cold, were not in any danger to their lives.The constructed cliff is about three stories high, approximately ten meters above the water surface, which is not considered very high.For safety reasons, Madeleine and Tiffany hung ropes.With eight positions ready, Deegan shouted "action" and the two of them began their lines.Tiffany's eyes gleamed fiercely as she sinisterly smiled and said, "Tiara, your time of death has finally arrived!"Madeleine's lips were tinged with crimson, and she looked at the other person in disbelief, with a mixture of surprise and confusion in her eyes. Then, a sense of despair that saw through everything followed, "You never wanted to help me
Madeleine didn't realize that she had slept for so long. She glared at Kristian and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"Kristian yawned and said, "I fell asleep too."Madeleine. “..."She glared at him fiercely, pushed open the door, and got off the car.Kristian also got off the car.All eyes turned towards Kristian and Madeleine, as everyone offered their blessings.Madeleine smiled, and Kristian put his arm around her shoulder. "I'm really sorry for keeping you all waiting. We had a late rehearsal last night, and Madeleine was really tired."Deegan laughed and said, "No problem, throughout the day, there were several auspicious moments. It is most important for our actors to work in their best condition. Shall we start now?"Kristian nodded slightly, and all the actors and crew gathered around, ready for the opening ceremony.Tiffany stood beside Madeleine as the second female lead, casting a sidelong glance at her, wishing she could bite her to death.When she saw the news online a
In the photo, Madeleine was wearing an eye mask and covered with a blanket while sleeping, while Kristian was gazing affectionately at her. The background was on an airplane.So Kristian and she were on the same flight!Her current focus was not on how affectionate Kristian's gaze was towards her, but on the fact that this scoundrel of a man deliberately had people take photos!She felt that she was the one who had a big head at first, and now the two of them were performing with such deep affection, creating the impression that they had a very good relationship. In the end, their separation would definitely cause a huge uproar.But there was no time to consider these things at the moment. She quickly washed up, applied skincare products, and put on makeup. The most important thing was to cover the red marks on her neck with concealer.She changed into a black long-sleeved T-shirt and light-colored jeans, put on a pair of sneakers, and wore a duckbill cap, a mask, and sunglasses. She
Madeleine listened to the man's incredulous question, unsure if it was her imagination, but she actually felt a sense of disappointment in Kristian's eyes.However, she was more inclined towards Kristian because she was infuriated by being rejected first.Madeleine remembered when Kristian called her an ugly duckling, and at this moment, she felt a strong sense of revenge.She raised her chin slightly and said, "You took advantage of me just now, but I won't hold it against you. From now until the end of the new drama and its release, we can be a couple. For the sake of the overall situation, you should cooperate too.""What if I didn't cooperate?" Kristian's lips curled into a mocking smile.Madeleine smirked and said, "Then just wait for the new drama to be difficult to produce in your belly! After all, Deegan is your friend."Kristian suddenly grabbed her chin, his gaze deep and intense. "I didn't realize you could be so ruthless!"Madeleine pushed the man's hand away with her fing
The crowd surrounded Madeleine and Kristian, all of them waiting for an answer.Madeleine's voice was gentle as she said, "Kristian and I were indeed in a relationship, and it wasn't for the sake of creating a buzz for a new drama. Many people may not know this, but I had a crush on Kristian for many years, and it was because of him that I entered the entertainment industry."Kristian didn't expect what she said next, and he instantly froze in shock.In order to prove that they were genuine, they were able to fabricate such lies.Although, however, he was still quite happy.However, he was a man and couldn't let the woman be the one to take the initiative, especially when she was the one he liked.He smiled and said, "Actually, there is a secret that nobody knows, including Madeleine. I had liked her for many years. I had liked her since the moment I first saw her."Someone asked, "When was that?"Kristian answered very directly, without the need for any rehearsal, "My crush started d
As the night fell, neon lights flickered outside the hotel window.Kristian looked at the woman in his arms under the warm light, feeling not only physically satisfied but also emotionally fulfilled.He kissed her smooth forehead and felt that it was not enough, so he kissed her lips.Madeleine was already tired, and now her peaceful sleep was disturbed. She turned her head irritably.But the man continued to pester her relentlessly.Madeleine suddenly opened her eyes and raised her hand to block the man's lips.She glanced at him for a full minute.In the end, Kristian couldn't help but remove the woman's delicate hand and asked, "What, are you surprised to see me?"Madeleine said, "I was not surprised."Kristian looked at her glistening red lips and said, "Both times we were together, you were intoxicated. Would you like to experience it while sober?"Madeleine chuckled, "You think I had a good experience?"Kristian squinted his eyes, "Isn't it? Who was it that held onto my neck and
The man's deep voice sounded outside the door.Ariana quickly ran over to open the door and saw Kristian standing there with damp hair."How much did she drink?"Kristian walked in, speaking as he strode with long legs.Ariana quickly stepped aside and closed the door, "Drank seven or eight glasses of red wine."Kristian hesitated for a moment, turned around and said, "She couldn't handle alcohol, why didn't you stop her?"Ariana looked helpless, "Once Madeleine's temper and drunkenness kicked in, I couldn't stop her no matter how hard I tried!"Kristian sighed lightly and turned to look at the woman lying in bed, her face flushed. At that moment, she was pulling at the collar of her knitted sweater.The knitted sweater was already prone to deformation, and with a pull like that, the flesh-colored lace edges were exposed.Kristian sat by the edge of the bed, holding her restless hand, "Don't move."The tone sounds somewhat reproachful, but it is mixed with concern.Madeleine furrowed
Karter shook his head upon hearing the words, "Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability? I cannot do that."Carl was always worried for him. "She is Madeleine, from the Keller family! If you become a son-in-law of the Keller family, what kind of future wouldn't you have?""It is precisely because she is part of the Keller family that I cannot do this," Karter squinted his eyes. "Madeleine doesn't like me now, she is completely focused on Kristian. If I do this, it will only make her dislike and resent me, pushing her further away. I have finally managed to gain her favor, I cannot risk losing it over something trivial."He whispered, "Will that rider betray you?"Carl replied, "Don't worry, no matter how much they investigate, they won't find anything on me."Karter said, "That's good. I appreciate this."Carl patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, if it weren't for you saving me that year, I would have been killed by those gamblers long ago."Karter chuckled, "Let's not mention t
