"Alright, don't cry. Don't worry; I won't let anyone hurt you or the baby… As for Savannah, she can't play that role any longer," Oliver comforted her with a hug before turning to leave the room.However, he didn't notice the glance exchanged between Esther and Paige nor the cold gleam in Esther's eyes.No one should be allowed the chance to steal her limelight in that production.…After finishing the scenes that day, Savannah returned to the hotel. As soon as she got out of the shower, a sudden pounding came on the door."Who could be visiting so late?" her assistant, Jodie Sanders, wondered as she scurried over to answer the door. Before she could ask, an enraged Oliver shoved her aside and barged into the room.Savannah's long raven hair was still damp from the shower. It cascaded down her shoulders, ending at her waist. She was wearing a white camisole nightgown as she stood barefoot. She looked like a pure, ethereal angel who had mistakenly wandered into the mortal world.
The excuse sounded a little ridiculous, but that was the nature of the entertainment industry—the truth got twisted, and decisions were determined by how much backing one had.Savannah naturally wasn't going to cling to something she'd lost. She quickly packed her things and asked Nataha to pick her up.While leaving the hotel, she happened to spot a staff member carrying crates of imported fruits and drinks to the set."Esther is treating everyone to drinks and fruits. The fruits were air-flown in, so they are especially fresh. Mr. Frost had someone send these over." Esther's manager, Paige, instructed the staff to hand out the fruits and drinks to the actors and crew members on set."Thanks Esther! Thanks Mr. Frost!" When everyone received their fruits and drinks, they happily praised the two.When Esther saw Savannah, she slowly approached her with a drink."Oliver always gives his all when he does things for me. Savannah, this is the kind of treatment that Mrs. Frost should r
Savannah set her suitcase aside in a corner and walked up the wooden staircase. "Wanda, I'll go take a shower first. Please bring the pudding to my room.""Sure."Savannah went into the master bedroom. She took a relaxing bath in the huge hot tub. Then, she stood in front of the mirror, blowing her hair dry.All of a sudden, the sound of her phone ringing rose above the whirr of the hairdryer.Savannah turned off the hairdryer. Wrapping herself in a large towel, she answered the phone.Maxwell's deep, cool voice sounded over the phone. "You have five minutes to come downstairs.""Five minutes is not enough—" Before Savannah could finish her sentence, he hung up.She stared at herself in the mirror. Besides the towel, she was stark naked. Yet, Maxwell gave her five minutes to go downstairs. What kind of joke was that?Savannah got dressed as quickly as she could. Without even doing her hair, she rushed downstairs.There was a black Cullinan parked outside the condo. Standing ne
"'The Lurker'?" Charles asked. Beacon Films was working on many serieses right now, but the most important one was definitely "The Lurker", the most anticipated project of the year.Swirling his drink slowly, Maxwell neither confirmed nor denied it."Since she's with you, I'll make sure that she gets special care," Charles continued. They were both clever people who could easily guess the other's intentions. For a matter so small, he didn't mind doing Maxwell a favor. There was a lukewarm smile on Maxwell's face as he gazed into the distance.Not far away, Savannah was holding a tray of small cakes. Next to her was Gary and another female celebrity whom she knew relatively well.Her name was Celeste Haze. She was in her 30s and was considered to be a senior figure to Savannah. "Are you planning to officially return to the industry? That's great. Like I said before, retiring would be a waste of your talent.""Yes. I took your advice and decided to continue making an impact in the
Savannah hesitated for a moment. "You don't have to do this again next time. I owe you too much. I can't afford to pay you back."Maxwell's warm hand was still holding her wrist as he kept his emotions in check. After a moment, he laughed self-deprecatingly and let her go.Savannah hurried to the elevator. When she returned to her condo, she was still a little dazed."You're back, Sav," Wanda greeted her with a smile. "Were you at a banquet earlier? You look so pretty.""Yes," Savannah answered noncommittally, sitting on the couch in a trance.The diamond fragments on her dress glittered brightly, reflecting the light from the chandelier overhead. How could Maxwell not have picked a beautiful dress? He had always had good taste."What's the matter? Are you upset?" Wanda grew worried, seeing how quiet she was being."I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. You can go and rest. You don't have to worry about me." Savannah shook her face, forcing a small smile.She wasn't upset. Rather,
Savannah didn't want to bother with Oliver anymore. As she brushed past him, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. With a stormy expression, he said, "How come I never noticed how ambitious you were in the past? Be careful of biting off more than you can chew. Considering Mr. Gibson's status, do you think he'd ever marry you? Dream on. He's just playing with you!""Are you done?" Savannah shook off his hand impatiently. "Oliver, focus on yourself and less about other people's business.""Savannah, I'm doing this for your sake! Don't be a fool!" Oliver roared angrily.As if she couldn't hear a thing, Savannah made a beeline toward the elevator.Jake followed her while dragging her suitcase. As he walked past Oliver, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He pushed his glasses up his nose. "Mr. Frost, here's a piece of advice—your words can land you in hot water. You should know what you can or cannot say."His insincere smile sent shivers down Oliver's back.After a night's rest at the hot
Upon hearing that, Esther's expression soured. She nearly ground her teeth to dust in anger.Savannah was divorced, a "used goods"; just how did he snag Maxwell? If the CEO of Gibson Finance was so easy to win over, did that mean that she also had a chance? After all, she had snatched Oliver out of Savannah's hands too!…Savannah didn't have a lot of screen time as Yvette. Afterward, filming went very smoothly—that was until an accident happened in the final few days.That day, they were shooting an escape scene. The lead actor and supporting lead actress were on a mission together when the enemy began to pursue them. Thus, they hopped into a car to flee.The lead actor was driving while Savannah sat in the passenger seat. From time to time, she would stick her head out the window to shoot a few bullets at the enemies chasing them from behind. The tension in the air was thick. Just as Gary raised his megaphone to yell "cut", the accident happened.A person suddenly appeared on t
Three years ago, when Savannah woke up in the hospital after the accident, the first thing she saw was Oliver. Afterward, he had kept her company in the hospital, taking care of her carefully. He had helped her overcome despair.At first, when she decided to marry him, a large part of it had been because Oliver had saved her. She considered it as repaying him with her body."Are you finally awake? Does your head hurt? Do you want me to call the doctor?" Oliver looked at her worriedly.Frowning, Savannah unconsciously reached for her forehead. She felt a coarse bandage wrapped around her head."Don't worry, you only got a scrape on your forehead. It won't scar. However, the doctor said you have a concussion, so you have to stay at the hospital for a few days for observation," Oliver said, holding her hand.Savannah shook his hand off in disgust. "I'm fine. You can go.""Don't throw a tantrum. You're still unwell, so I can't just abandon you." Oliver got up from her bedside. He wal
