Lucille had always been popular since her childhood. It wasn't only because she was attractive, but because her radiant eyes that reminded one of the glittering galaxy. They never failed to catch people's attention. Starting with jealousy over her beauty, Sabrina had eventually wanted to take everything she had and had even felt entitled to do so. Since she hadn't wanted to let anyone know her intentions, she'd always pretended to be weak. After all, the squeaky wheels always got the grease. That also included Harold. Sabrina had fallen in love with him when they'd first met in high school. It wasn't only because he was handsome, but also because he'd been Lucille's fiancé. "Are you trying to set me up?" Sabrina asked in a lowered voice. The room was so quiet with just the two of them that even the faint sound of a pin dropping could be heard. "I'm just kidding! Why would I set you up? What's to be afraid of when you have nothing to hide, right? Lucille dismissed it with a
Suddenly, the door was slammed open, knocking into the wall loudly. Sabrina was shocked by the sudden, loud noise. Her eyes widened, trembling in horror as she looked at Harold entering the room. She was petrified, and her body subconsciously tensed up. Why was he here? Did he hear what she'd said?Fuming, Harold entered the room. He furiously glared at Sabrina, who was at a loss, with an icy gaze. The veins popped on his forehead, making him look like a raging tiger. He said in a cold, hurtful tone, "Sabrina, you whore!" Sabrina's mind instantly went blank as she stared at Harold in disbelief. It turned out that he'd indeed heard what she'd said. Hence, he'd called her a whore. She watched as anger, disappointment, and a hint of disgust filled Harold's eyes. She started shivering as she panicked. Tears quickly flooded her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. She wanted to get up and hold his hand, but her injury wouldn't allow her to move, as any movement would aggravate her
After Lucille left for the hospital, Spencer went to JM Corporation. Lucille had zero idea that the video of her "pushing" Sabrina down the stairs had gone viral online and had subsequently been taken down completely. But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care about it. "Sir, we've found who took down Mrs. Layton's videos. It was the higher-ups." Seamus couldn't believe it when he found out who did it. But he didn't waste any time to report it back to Spencer. Higher-ups? Spencer sat on his chair with a solemn expression. He narrowed his eyes as his forehead creased. His cold, chiseled features had such a strong presence that they could almost suffocate the tiniest speck of dust in the air. After a while, he smiled ambiguously. Seamus was confused but didn't dare to ask. He hadn't expected the higher-ups would protect Lucille, too. On the surface, she was just an overlooked and impoverished daughter of the Johnson family and the CEO of a small corporation. But i
Meanwhile, after Harold left Central Hospital, the Johnsons went over and heard about the truth from George. Horace was so furious that he almost fainted. He'd desperately pleaded with the police to spare the last shred of his family's dignity. Hence, they didn't expose the truth to the public. Horace had never expected Sabrina to do such a ridiculous and shameful act. He was deeply regretful after hearing from William that Lucille had the Layton family supporting her. Originally, he'd come to the hospital with a plan to advise Sabrina not to pursue the truth of this matter any further. But who would've thought the actual truth would be so embarrassing? He scolded Sabrina and Ivy before storming out, leaving the two terrified and alone in the hospital room.The two of them had practically shot themselves in the foot this time. …Back at Sparrow Residence, Lucille was surprised to learn that Gabriel Lawton was the one who'd gotten someone to take down the viral videos, not
In the dressing room, Lorelei and Claire sat across from each other on the couch. Lorelei looked disheveled. Her cheeks were swollen and covered with visible scratches. Her lips were also chapped, and her hair was a tangled mess like a bird's nest. Claire, however, still looked elegant and relaxed, aside from her slightly red cheek. There was a huge contrast between them.Claire's assistant, Stella Wright, came in with a bag of ice and said in concern, "Here, Claire. Put this on your cheek. It'll soothe your pain."Meanwhile, Lorelei's assistant, Mary Anderson, was treating Lorelei's wounds on her face. But she didn't know where to start, as the scratches were a bit too serious. Who would've thought that Claire, who was known for a gentle demeanor, could be this explosive? When she got into a fight, she was worlds apart from her usual gentle and dignified self. Everyone in the film studio had been shocked. But many had started worrying for Claire. After all, she'd made her de
Bailey crossed her arms before her chest and glared at Lorelei with a smirk. "You lack popularity, and your acting skills are subpar at best. But your temper sure is through the roof, huh?" Lorelei shot a glance at Bailey and shouted through gritted teeth, "Who are you talking about, Bailey?' "I'm talking about whoever responded to me." Bailey scoffed. Lorelei went silent for a moment before she said threateningly, "I'll have you know that Claire hit me. I'll never let go of this easily!" Bailey wasn't afraid of Lorelei. She replied, "Oh, yeah? Tell me, what are you going to do then?" Lorelei thought Bailey was scared of her and felt her sense of pride return. She said arrogantly, "I want her to slap herself ten times, then kneel and apologize to me!" Claire immediately opposed it. "Excuse me, Lorelei, do you think you're some emperor or something? Why should I kneel before you? And why should I apologize to you? "Did I slap your brain out of your head? Who do you think s
"Quit joking, Ms. Moore." Claire's eye twitched a little as she looked at the curious Bailey, who was practically bursting with delight. Why would there be a thing between Claire and Neal? Bailey was disappointed. "Oh, man. But it's okay if it's true, though. I'm an open-minded boss, you know. I won't interfere with my artist's love life." Claire said nothing. When idols started dating, it practically meant they'd lose their job. Once again, Lorelei was neglected at the side. Linda Langley, Lorelei's manager, finally arrived after a delay. She was a 30-year-old woman who was one of the top players in the talent agency industry. Lorelei wasn't the only artist she managed. But, of course, Davis was more experienced compared to her. Linda had already found out who Lorelei had gotten into a conflict with when she'd been on her way to the studio. In all honesty, Linda really didn't want to deal with a spoiled princess with a bad temper like Lorelei. But she had no choice sin
"Babe, who are you meeting today? What's with all the mystery?" Bailey asked as she held Lucille's arm and entered Zaytun Pavilion. They then went up to the fifth floor, but instead of going to the Kingston Room as usual, they headed toward the Phoenix Room. Lucille smirked before opening the room. "It's someone you know." "Huh? Someone I know?" Bailey looked confused. "Who is it? Why are you being so secretive—" As Bailey continued asking, Lucille pushed open the door, and the two people inside turned toward the door. Seeing the familiar faces inside the room, Bailey's jaw dropped. "Oh, my God, you two did have something going on!" She looked at Neal and Claire in disbelief. Claire was equally surprised. She'd never thought Neal was friends with her boss. What a coincidence! Then, Claire explained her relationship with Neal to Bailey. "Wait, so Neal is your uncle?" Bailey asked. Claire nodded. "Yup. I'm dead serious." Bailey actually shipped Neal and Claire, but wh
