The director was dumbfounded when he laid eyes on Angeline. He immediately noticed her slim figure and ethereal beauty that made her resemble a flower that had just bloomed.After a very long time, the director teased Josephine, “This is the supporting actress you found me? Whether it’s her appearance or her elegance, this supporting actress is going to crush and suppress the lead completely.”Angeline smiled calmly. “If you think I’m not a suitable candidate, then that’s fine. I’ll just find another job.”The director was drawn to Angeline’s calm and casual temperament, saying, “What’s your name, young lady? You’re born to be an actress. Look, why don’t you go get changed and prepare for the audition? I’ll talk to the management afterward and make you the lead.”Angeline thought for a moment and replied, "J. Harts."J. Harts, as the name suggested, was derived from Jay’s sweetheart.Josephine's eyes widened as she gave Angeline a thumbs up. “That’s a pretty good stage name.”An
“I heard that you want the lead role?” The celebrity looked at Angeline smugly.Josephine knew who this was. This woman had been the star actress for the past two years. Rumor had it that she had a really strong backing, so even though her image made her unsuitable for the lead role, the management still pushed for her to become the lead nonetheless.Josephine said, "The director has made his decision, Luna. If you’re not happy with it, then you can always go to the director. Step aside.”Luna scowled at Josephine and her gaze then fell on her belly, a malicious glint exuding from her eyes.Alarm bells started ringing in Angeline’s head. She rushed over to stand in front of Josephine and said gently, “If you want the lead role, then take it. I have no intention of competing with you.”Luna sneered and said, “Guess you’re pretty sensible after all.”She stretched out her hand and ordered, "Give me the script."Angeline handed her the script, but Josephine angrily snatched it away
Not long after, Jay got wind of the news and rushed to Grand Asia Hospital. When he laid eyes on Angeline, who was anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, Jay sprinted over. "Angeline." When Angeline saw him, her worried expression immediately turned to guilt and self-blame. "Jaybie, it’s my bad. I shouldn't have asked Josie to accompany me to work..." Jay held Angeline's thin face in both his hands and said softly, "Angeline, don't blame yourself. Josie's due date is near, so she’ll be fine.” Angeline nodded. In the delivery room, Zayne stared at Josie whose face was distorted from the pain of childbirth. He had never seen such an ugly expression on Josie before, but at this moment, he could not be more in love with her. He felt that the Josie in front of him was the Josie who loved him the most. He held Josie's hand tightly as beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. It was as if he was the one who was giving birth to the baby. It almost seemed as though he coul
Angeline said, "Their eyes are bigger than your son’s, their noses are taller than your son’s, and their faces are smaller..." Jay looked at Zayne and Angeline who were busy discussing the appearance of the newborn and felt even more disappointed. Angeline sensed that Jay was upset. She handed the baby to Jay. "My love, it’s your turn to carry him." Jay was not interested in the baby and said, "Zayne should carry him." Zayne stretched out his hand, but when Angeline handed the child to him, he quickly drew back his hands. He said bitterly, "I, I… I can't hold him. Angeline, you should hold him. I don't know how to hold such a cute little boy." Jay stood up, stuffed the baby into Zayne's arms, and said, "This is your son. You have to learn how to hold him. Josie is going to be resting for the time being and Angeline is weak. No one will be here to help you hold the child. If you don't hold him, who will?" Zayne seemed to be petrified. He pitifully begged Jay, "Sir Ares
Zayne knelt in front of Jay and begged him, "Sir Ares, please be kind to me and allow Angeline to help me out here for a few more days." Zayne did not really need Angeline's help. It was just that he felt assured and calm whenever he was around her. Angeline pulled Zayne up and said, “Okay, I promise I won't leave. Get up." Jay was annoyed and scowled at Zayne, yelling, "Useless piece of trash!" Soon, Jay changed his mind. The reason being that Josie's postpartum meals were rich in nutrients. More importantly, Josie's mealtimes were frequent. Angeline was bored, so she hung out with Josie a lot where they would share meals and laugh while enjoying themselves. After a few days, Angeline's cheeks were rosy and her face became a little chubby. Jay was happy with Angeline's transformation. He subconsciously thought that the baby was bringing good luck to Angeline, so he particularly liked Joseph. Zayne, the novice dad, slowly got the hang of things. He depended o
"Who?" He gritted his teeth. Josie immediately chimed in, "She’s one of the highest-paid actresses in Timeless Crew. Her name is Luna Hilton. I’m not too sure which sponsor is backing her. She’s chubby and doesn't fit the image of a heroine, but she still secured the female lead role." Jay was indifferent to drama between women, but when it came to Angeline, it was a different case. Jay asked her in a gentle tone, "Why is she bullying you?" "Because I was supposed to be the female lead," Angeline muttered."I didn't mean to. The director thought I was suitable to be the female lead, so he asked me to audition for it. After Luna found out about it, she questioned me face to face. I agreed to return the role to her, but she pushed Josie! She knew Josie was pregnant but still went ahead and pushed her. She’s a bad person..." Angeline got furious as she recounted the story. Jay listened to Angeline's rant and fell into deep thought. He had not expected Angeline to be so
"Your sister-in-law was bullied under your watch. Do you know about this?" Jay asked with a frown. Jean's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. Angeline was his cousin’s everything. If she was bullied under his watch, Jean knew that Jay would burn him to the ground. However, Jean was an alert man. He frequented TV Station and knew about all the bullying that happened. However, he had not heard about Angeline getting bullied. Jean looked at Jay's handsome but unwelcoming face. He knew that his cousin, who was a busy man, would not pick a fight with him over nothing. He trembled as he took out his phone and called his assistant. "Shaun, my sister-in-law Angeline was bullied in TV Station. Is this how you look after my relatives?" Shaun was shaking as he replied. "Young Master Jean, Ms. Severe hasn't been to TV Station." Jean was confused. He looked at Jay and said, "Big Brother, please give me some hints as to who’s bullying her. Otherwise, it’ll be like looking for
Jean asked Luna once more, “J what?”Luna gave it a thought and answered, “I think she’s called J. Harts… She was dressed rather ordinarily. One glance and you know that she has no backers.”Jean was petrified, “J. Harts…”As in Jay’s heart?Only Angeline and that lovesick mind of hers could come up with such a name.When Jay heard this name, his facial features were stained with a smile. His whole appearance looked somewhat warmer.Jean reprimanded Luna in a dreary manner, “You’ve stirred up a disaster! You’re done for now.”Luna could feel her arrogant self falling from cloud nine, crashing to the ground below. She stammered, “Jean, who else is a bigger patron than you in Imperial Capital?”Jean roared into the phone’s speaker, “My backer!”Once he hung up the phone, he acted as though he was wagging his tail like a puppy while pleading for mercy, “Big Brother, this is my first time ever being so serious toward a girl. Can’t you let Luna off the hook this one time for my s
