Irene was done for the day of filming, so when she returned to her room, Ethan was already waiting for her. "Things slipped; it didn't go as planned." Irene stared blankly at him before sitting beside him. "If it didn't go as planned, it doesn't mean it wouldn't go as planned some other time, and that time is very close." Ethan frowned. Irene was sometimes unpredictable; he expected her to yell or for her to have a sour face, but instead, she wasn't bothered. "Is there something you aren't telling me?" "Isabelle is a very foolish person, so I didn't expect her to help me ruin Ivy." Upon hearing her, he immediately understood she must have butted in. "Ethan, you aren't smart enough. Next time, watch out for Zack Anderson; he is very unpredictable. Ivy, on the other hand, that girl is something else." Mentioning her sister's name, her face scrunched up. Her sister had changed; it wasn't a slight change, and it was annoying her more. "How did Desmond's number..." "About that

The two women were staring deeply into each other's eyes trying to find any hidden trace of hostility masked with a facade. "Nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you," Anna said, still holding onto Ivy's hand. "Same," Ivy responded, retaining her smile. "You came too early," Director Tim interrupted their intros, "You will have to wait until the evening before you film your part." "I came early to get familiar with the rest of the cast and crew, before I begin," Anna replied. Director Tim had no time to idle around, so he went back to work with Ivy. But before then, some of the rest of the crew asked for Anna's autograph, and she willingly signed them with a friendly smile. Looking at the way certain individuals were hovering around her, it made it seem like she was the lead character, whereas Ivy appeared small before her. Some of the crew even started to gossip. "I wonder why Anna wasn't considered to be the lead character." "Yes, what's so special about the outdate

Joan's face twitched in annoyance, "Are you trying to tell me I am invisible?" "Slightly," Edmond glacially responded. Susan and Ivy were silently watching their tussle; they found it entertaining, especially Joan's facial expression. They hadn't seen this side of her before. Joan couldn't ignore how he constantly tried to rip her off her duty. "You've been irritating me since this morning. I am her personal assistant, not you. Stick to your job." "Oh, so you are her personal assistant? Then I am her bodyguard. And I am sticking to my job." Joan turned speechless, then it occurred to her. 'Did he know the water was drugged?' Her heart thudded, 'If he knows...' then he was really sticking to his job. "Guys, you shouldn't fight over me," Ivy tried to calm the tension between them. Joan admitted defeat, "Forget what I said to you. That was mean." She retracted the bottle of water. "You can have his, I don't mind." Ivy snorted at Joan's response. "Joan, what's the big deal?"

The night was incredibly sultry, and the lovers got lost in their passion, forgetting about their early morning filming schedule. After numerous rounds, they were too exhausted to leave bed. In a panic, they rushed to the set separately, hoping to avoid raising any suspicions among the crew. However, they both still received a stern glance from Stephen, hinting that he was onto them. They both gave lame excuses for their lateness before giving sincere apologies. Stephen and director Tim overlooked them since they were only an hour late but not without sending a warning. With that, filming started for the day. It was an outdoor scene, the sprawling backlot highlighted a mock hill school premises with green-strewn carpet grass. The sunny bright sky beckoned them to embrace the day's pleasant weather. The scene to be shot was George's first appearance in the film. After changing into his costume, he walked out of his trailer prepared to shoot his first scene. The scene introduced Ge

Ivy was surprised to see Anna waiting alone at the lobby the next morning. As she made her way towards the exit, Anna made an advancement to stop Ivy before she could leave. "Ivy, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" She had a bright smile as she spoke. Ivy agreed, and they sat down on the sofa. "Well, about what you saw yesterday..." She trailed off, biting her lips awkwardly. "Will you please keep it a secret?" Ivy shrugged. "I will." She had no free time to spread gossip around the set; it just wasn't in her personality. Anna breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you. I'm glad it was you who caught us; if it were one of the crew, there would have been a possibility of a scandal appearing in the news." Ivy smiled halfheartedly. "Yeah, we better get going..." Anna chuckled. "Oh, you're right. I really don't want to see Stephen's deep wrinkles again." They both stood up, left the hotel, and headed to the set. Anna had a few scenes for the day, while Ivy had a lot of them, bu

Anna's assistant tried to placate Anna, but she was beyond her control. She helplessly watched Anna pounce on the cleaner, lashing out at her. The others saw this and quickly tried to separate them. With the way she lost control, her assistant called Anna's manager to report her behavior. Anna, after successfully satisfying her desire for punishing the cleaners, her mind settled, and she began to reflect on her behavior. She let her anger get the best of her, realizing her reaction would intensify the gossip. But one thought stung her — Ivy. She was the only one who knew about hers and George's intimate moment in the restroom; she was certain no one else was aware. "Was she the one that started the gossip?" Her view of Ivy began to change as her mind stirred her into believing Ivy had ill will towards her. For her to gossip about their relationship, even when she pleaded with her to keep it a secret, meant she intentionally wanted her to be criticized. While her mind was concluding

[ Anna's relationship drama unfolds on set ] Another article intensified the situation, paving the way for the netizens' gossip. Anna couldn't handle her scandal, as it was taking a toll on her. She had to wear shrouding clothes to hide herself from the media. When she arrived on set the next day, she was informed that Ivy had no scene that morning, only towards dusk. During filming, her mind was in a blur. She said wrong lines many times, not to mention her inattentiveness when Director Tim was instructing her on what to do. "CUT!" He groaned with a piercing sound, his assistant had to cover his ears and step back. "What is wrong with you? You've been making so many intolerable mistakes since the start of the day." His assistant whispered in his ears. "Director Tim, I think she is distracted because of the scandal..." "What scandal?" Director Tim raised his voice, and that made the other members of the crew swerve into the gossip mood. "She cheated on her fiancé." "Was it

Ivy sat beside Director Tim, watching Anna perform. What she did brought relief, mostly to Director Tim. This time when he gave Anna instructions, she followed suit, leaving no room for mistakes. She completed her final scene without flubs, and the filming progressed quickly. After she was done for the day, the director announced a dinner break, and the two actresses decided to spend the time together. "That was really nice of you. I didn't expect you to help me after the annoying things I said to you," she said with guilt, fiddling with her spoon. "Sorry about my... you know... I really don't know how to control myself sometimes..." She quickly realized the word 'sometimes' wasn't true. "Yeah... all the time." "You shouldn't have lashed out at the cleaner or physically attacked them. It's understandable you're upset, but your reaction was definitely over the top..." Ivy responded, more like a scolding. If she were in that kind of situation, she knew exactly how to mentally handle

The question hung in the air, thick and heavy. Ivy’s breath hitched as Nadia’s words landed like a direct blow. The anger that had fueled her outburst at the cemetery now mingled with a chilling dread. She looked at Nadia, really looked at her, seeing the raw grief and desperate need for answers reflected in her tear-filled eyes. This wasn't just about her own loss anymore; it was about Nadia's too. "I…" Ivy started, but her voice seemed lost. She wanted to deny it, to protect Nadia from the harsh reality, but the lie wouldn't come. How would she even explain that? She had let her anger take over, and now she had Nadia hearing her accusations. "Answer me. Is it true?" Nadia pressed firmly, her voice trembling... Ivy froze, her eyes wandering over Nadia's face. Her anger was long gone, now replaced by uncertainty. Should she tell her? But there was no proof yet, and she didn't want Nadia to get involved. "Ivy, answer me. 'Cause it seems like an accident to me. Why would you acc
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 240: Is it true?
As Ivy's screams echoed through the cemetery, Steve's face turned pale as he had become the center of attention. Ivy's words about him being a killer sent the mourners murmuring, whispering among themselves. Zack continued holding Ivy back, with Irene later stepping in. The fire in Ivy's eyes continued to burn fiercely, something Steve had never seen in her eyes before. This wasn't the same sweet, innocent daughter he used to know; he usually compared her to her mother, but Ivy had proved to be different—a drastic gap that sent his head spinning. He could no longer keep his cool; neither could he stand the scene unfolding, so he silently slipped out of the crowd, casting a brief yet menacing gaze at Ivy. "Ivy, please! Stop!" "You are not thinking clearly..." Zack and Irene's words faded into the background as Steve made his way to his car and slid into it, as though trying to shut himself off from the world. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered inside him. Ivy

The sky was a deep, foreboding gray, as if it too were mourning the loss of Judy. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth as Ivy walked behind the hearse, her eyes fixed on the polished wooden casket adorned with a spray of white lilies, Judy's favorite flowers.As they reached the gravesite, the mourners gathered around, their faces etched with grief and sorrow. But Ivy's eyes were fixed on one person alone, one person she wished she could crush, melt, break, or kill if it wasn't against the law. Steve stood in front of everyone else, his face showing the grief more than anyone else. Many would relate, after all, it's his sister that died, but Ivy saw through that facade. It seemed Steve enjoyed killing; he should start bracing himself for his own death!"Ivy. Ivy! Snap out of it, okay?" Zack called, pulling Ivy from her thoughts. "Don't cause a scene, at least not now."Ivy didn't even realize her face was scrunched like a ball that had been crushed by a hydraulic press. She
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 239: She is gone
Ivy trudged through the front door, feeling emotionally drained. The image of Judy’s lifeless body repeatedly flashed before her eyes as she blinked back the tears that had threatened to fall.She felt like she was drowning, unable to escape the overwhelming ache that had settled in her chest. It stung so much that she could hardly breathe. With a shaking hand, she reached for the sofa, collapsing into it, craving the comfort that it should offer, but it never came. All she felt was numbness that refused to go away. The pain of losing a loved one... it was so familiar, so daunting, bringing back old painful memories. Judy was gone just like that? Now she was nothing more than a memory, one she wished she could bring to life once again. Tears flowed down her cheeks, having lost the will to fight them.She took a deep breath and pulled out her phone to call Zack, the one she could lean on.Zack picked up on the first ring, his voice sweet and casual. "Hey, how are you?"Ivy sniffled, tr

The courtroom erupted into chaos, and Steve's face turned beet red with anger and frustration. He abruptly stood up and stormed out of the room. Ivy watched him go, a mixture of emotions swirling inside her. She felt a sense of vindication, knowing that Jeremy had been found guilty, sooner Steve will be next.Ivy pushed the thought aside and turned to Zack, a smile spreading across her face. "We did it," she whispered, her eyes shining with tears. Zack grinned back, pulling her into a tight hug. As they hugged, Ivy's mind began to wander to Judy. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The call from the hospital had seemed so urgent, so real. What if it wasn't a ruse? What if Judy was hurt? Ivy's smile faltered, and she pulled back from Zack. "I need to go to the hospital," she said and Zack's expression changed from celebratory to concerned. "What's wrong?" Ivy hesitated. "I don't know if the call from the hospital was real or not. But I need to check. What if Jud
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 237: The Verdict
The courtroom was packed as Ivy and Zack took their seats behind the prosecutor's table. Steve arrived shortly and sat across from her, his eyes cold and calculating. Ivy's heart raced as she avoided his gaze, focusing instead on the prosecutor, who was shuffling through his notes.The judge, a stern-looking woman, entered the courtroom, and the bailiff called the room to order."This court is now in session," the judge declared, her voice firm and commanding. "The case before us today is the state versus Jeremy Hale. Mr. Prosecutor, you may proceed with your opening statement."The prosecutor, a tall, imposing man with a confident smile, stood up, surveying the courtroom before beginning his statement."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the case before us today is a heinous crime. A young woman's life was almost cut short due to the reckless actions of the defendant, Jeremy Hale. We will present evidence that shows his actions were not only negligent but also intentional."Ivy felt a

The ride to the court felt like an eternity; it was as though the car was moving at a slow pace, which wasn't the case at all. Ivy let out a big gush of air, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. She was determined to see justice served, but the news about her aunt's accident weighed heavily on her heart.She glanced at Zack, who was seated beside her, his expression a mask of calm determination."Hey, you okay?" Zack asked, noticing her gaze.Ivy nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit nervous."Zack's eyes narrowed slightly. "I can tell by the way you're playing with your nails."Ivy's expression faltered for a moment as she stared at her hand and realized she had indeed been fidgeting with her nails. She dropped her hand, feeling a slight flush rise to her cheeks. "I guess I am a bit more nervous than I thought," she admitted, trying to laugh it off.Zack smiled reassuringly and took her hand in his. "It's okay to be nervous, Ivy. This is a big day. But you're prepare

Ivy stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blazer for what felt like the hundredth time. She took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, and nodded to herself. Today was the day she'd finally face Jeremy in court and put him to justice.The door creaked open, and she turned around to find Zack dressed in a crisp, navy-blue suit, his tie perfectly knotted. He caught her eye and smiled, his expression confident."You okay?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close."Yeah, I am..." Ivy responded, her voice low but laced with steel. "I'm ready."Zack smiled softly, spun her around, and enveloped her in a reassuring hug. "You're going to do great."Ivy's warm smile faltered as she leaned into the comfort of his shoulders. The silence between them was soothing, filled with the gentle sound of his breathing. But the shrill ringtone of her phone pierced the calm, jolting her upright.She pulled away, her eyes locking onto the screen as she hesitated. The number was unkn

Ivy sat on the edge of the bed as Dr. Harrison examined her. Meanwhile, Zack watched anxiously from the corner of the room, his heart pounding in his chest. "Well, let's see," Dr. Harrison said, his brow furrowed as he checked Ivy's vitals. "Your blood pressure seems a bit low, and you're a bit pale. Have you been experiencing any other symptoms?" Ivy shook her head. "Just nausea and this… this bleeding from my nose." Dr. Harrison nodded thoughtfully. "And when was your last period?" Ivy hesitated, suddenly remembering she hadn't really considered that. "I… I'm not sure. Maybe a week ago?" Dr. Harrison's eyes widened slightly. "Mr. Anderson, I think we should run some tests. Just to be sure." Zack's heart sank. "What kind of tests?" Dr. Harrison hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "Well, given Ivy's symptoms and the missed period, I'd like to rule out a few possibilities. We'll need to do a blood test and a pregnancy test." Ivy's eyes widened in disbelief. "A pre
