"Director, it’s almost eight o’clock, and the female lead hasn’t arrived yet. What should we do?"Director Quentin frowned. He had anticipated Roxanne might cause problems, but he hadn't expected her to be late on the very first day."Start shooting Xavier and Wythe’s scenes first!" Quentin instructed, clearly displeased.The supporting actors, who didn’t have scenes to shoot yet, had already started gossiping."Who does she think she is, arriving later than Xavier? Just because she has some money?""Exactly! It’s only the first day, and she’s already trying to make a statement.""She’s just gross!"Meanwhile, Xavier and Wythe had begun their makeup sessions. Xavier, given his status, had his own makeup room, while Wythe was assigned to a different room.The scene they were about to shoot involved Wythe intentionally messing up his appearance to provoke Xavier's character.Consequently, Wythe’s makeup was deliberately exaggerated, making him look like a little rascal despite his young
Two days later, Ronald visited the set and brought plenty of food and drinks for the crew.The staff praised his generosity, and Wythe was delighted, chatting with Ronald about various amusing things happening on set."Amélie, how's Wythe doing? If he's too tired, let me know anytime, and I'll arrange for the director to give him a couple of days off. After all, he's still a kid, and we can't have him getting exhausted!"Touched by Ronald's genuine concern, Lydia smiled, "Don't worry, Wythe is doing great. I've heard from Wuxin that you're about to have exams soon. How's the preparation going?"Lydia hadn't forgotten that her godbrother was still a student.Ronald coughed awkwardly and rubbed his nose, looking innocent. "Amélie, can we not talk about that? Mom and Dad have been on my case about it, along with my older siblings! If I don't do well this time, they'll probably eat me alive!"Seeing Ronald's troubled expression, Lydia couldn't help but laugh. "You're lucky to have people
The experienced members of the crew quickly realized that Roxanne was doing this on purpose!Standing by the shore, Lydia’s face turned icy cold.Her fingers clenched into a fist, and she bit her lip, trying hard to suppress her anger.Director Quentin Qian was furious from all the repeated takes.He pointed at Roxanne’s nose and yelled, "Can you act or not? If not, get lost!"Roxanne sneered inwardly.Seeing Wythe's face turn pale and Lydia's expression pained, she finally relented a bit and managed to pass the scene on the sixth take.As soon as Wythe emerged from the water, Lydia rushed over to wrap him in a large towel, drying him off from head to toe.She was incredibly relieved that she had come prepared today; otherwise, the child would likely have caught a cold.Just as Lydia finished tending to Wythe, Roxanne walked over with a smug look on her face.She glanced at Lydia and snorted, "How did that feel, Lydia?"Lydia clenched her fist, her emotions nearly boiling over.Roxann
Lydia sneered, "If I apologize today, it would set a bad example for Wythe. I don't want my son to grow up unable to distinguish right from wrong! If you insist, then Wythe and I will both quit!"Director Quentin Qian was stunned into silence. Lydia's words were not just empty threats. Since Wythe entered the entertainment industry, she had regretted it.While it was a way to reunite with Lambert quickly, the thought of her young son facing flattery and criticism, possibly even being scorned by many, pained her deeply.Moreover, they weren't short on money. There was no need for Wythe to suffer like this.Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a luxury car stopped outside the set.A frantic and angry voice echoed before the person even appeared, "Who hit my sister?"Lydia looked up to see a tall, rugged man striding over.Roxanne's face lit up at the sound, then immediately turned pitiful, "Big brother~"The sugary tone made the crew nauseous. If only she used this acting skill for the sc
Roxanne’s reply was dismissive, her thoughts scoffing at the idea.If Lydia continued to get close to Ronald, Roxanne was determined to defend her love at any cost.On the other side, Ronald arrived at the set after receiving a call. Although the situation seemed resolved, his presence made Director Quentin even more cautious about Wythe.Despite hearing that Wythe was favored by the Arliss family, even becoming Thera’s godson, Quentin had been skeptical.But now, seeing Ronald personally show up, he realized the boy's connection to the Arliss family was no exaggeration.As Wythe continued to work hard to raise his profile, Lambert and Odelia returned from their trip abroad, entering the Halsey estate one after the other.Nydia was pleased to see Lambert, but Odelia’s uneasy expression made her anxious.After dinner, Nydia kept Odelia behind, while Lambert was called to the study by his father, Odgen.In the study, father and son sat facing each other, their expressions serious. After
Lambert, feeling irritable, parked his car in front of a large plaza, got out, and lit a cigarette.The smoke helped to temporarily ease his troubled thoughts. As he looked up, he noticed a large TV screen in the center of the plaza playing a children’s clothing commercial.The boy in the ad immediately caught his attention.Perhaps it was because he knew he was going to be a father, and he often found himself imagining what his child might look like.But the boy on the screen struck him hard, especially because the child’s face looked so much like his own.Who is he?This thought took root in Lambert’s mind, quickly growing like a seed.He suddenly remembered Lydia, the woman who had approached him earlier and claimed they had a five or six-year-old child together.Could this boy on the screen, who looked like a little prince, be their child?Lambert couldn’t shake the thought and found himself becoming increasingly attached to the idea.As it turned out, the commercial he saw was in
Odelia started to break out in a cold sweat. In a moment of quick thinking, she instinctively reached out to clutch her stomach. "Oh, my stomach...""What's wrong?" Lambert reached out to support her, though there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.How could she suddenly have a stomachache for no reason?Seizing the opportunity, Odelia tightened her grip on Lambert's hand. "Lambert, I think I might have overexerted myself earlier. Could you help me out of here?"Lambert nodded slightly and assisted Odelia out of the study, instructing someone to clean up the broken pieces left behind.Once she was settled, Lambert prepared to call a doctor."Lambert, there's no need to trouble yourself. It's getting late. I just need to rest for a bit and I'll be fine," Odelia stopped him.What a joke!If a doctor came, her act would be exposed.That wasn't the outcome she wanted. But what was up with this Wythe?Why had Lambert suddenly taken an interest in the child? This was definitely not good n
Lydia, seeing that she wasn't needed at the moment, decided to return to the dressing room and continue her work.To avoid delaying the studio's designs, she always brought her drafts to the set.While Wythe was filming, she worked on her designs, thus managing both responsibilities effectively.Time flew by, and when Lydia finally looked up from her sketches, she realized that two hours had passed.She stood up, intending to check if Wythe had finished his scenes.Opening the door, she saw that filming was still ongoing but couldn't spot Wythe anywhere.Lydia frowned, feeling puzzled. Where could Wythe be?Just then, Quentin called out for the next scene. "Wythe, get ready! Where's Wythe?"A sense of panic began to creep in.Lydia searched around frantically for Wythe’s small figure but to no avail—he was nowhere to be seen.The assistant responsible for notifying actors ran up to Quentin. "Quentin, Wythe seems to be missing!""What do you mean, missing?" Quentin stopped what he was
