The actors she worked alongside were basically of the same level. She was not fond of learning and made no progress in acting.

Moreover, she did not carry any passion for this drama. Costume drama needed hard work. The boundless war and fighting scenes in this drama were laborious.

If it weren’t for the importance of the role and the production, she wouldn’t do it.

My sister just slapped me, it is okay, and I’m fine now!”Priscilla looked at her and smiled, “Oh, I’m sorry. I was too occupied in my role to hold back. You can’t deny that I managed to invoke stronger emotions in you. Don’t you agree sister?”She returned the same words Regina told Gwyneth.Regina's face stiffened.At this point, Paul

    Meanwhile, Priscilla and Frederick got into the car together. “Where are we heading to?”Fredrick looked at Priscilla’s face, frowning, “Let’s go to the hospital first.” He said to David. “Yes, Mr. Lincoln,” David replied. Priscilla took a breath and said, “No, I’m all right. There’s no need to go to the hospital.”“No talking.” Frederick ignored her and Priscila could only shut her mouth at this insistence. The man held her face in his hands and looked at it closely. The face, once delicate and fair, was now slightly swollen, and there were clear marks of the five fingers of Lindsay.

When she was in high school, she liked to bully other girls in school. I did not expect to meet her here. Hiss—”The wound on her face was touched by Fredrick’s finger and s

Although she did not want to, and her hatred towards Priscilla had run down to her bones, she knew that she could not afford to cross Frederick Lincoln. So, she said reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lincoln.” Fredrick raised his eyebrows. He said, “I could not feel the sincerity of your apology.” Lindsay clenched her fingers.
