Smirking, Priscilla threw him a glance. “Leo works for you. Do you think I’m so stupid to ask him?”

Fredrick choked on her words.

But her retort sounded reasonable at a second thought.

Well, she was indeed a hard nut to crack. At such a critical moment, even a man as brilliant as him could become a bad problem solver.

Indeed, soothing the nerves of one’s wife was a lifesaving skill as he could not make a blunder in a pinch. How did he come up with such an idea?

He changed his approach and comforted her, “Well, whatever you say makes sense, but I swear that I never had another woman other than you. If any of my words don’t ring true, I deserve a painful death.”

Before Frederick could finish his words, Priscilla’s eyelids throbbed.

For some reason, she had a sinking feeling in her stomach, and before she knew it, her hands were already over his mouth.

Fredrick laughed.

Priscilla glared at him.

“I’m telling you, don’t bother fooling me with your tactics. The world wouldn’t have that many

    The next day, Priscilla took Gwyneth Gonzalez to Paul’s office as promised.Regina and Terry were also at Paul’s office.Regina was taken by surprise to see Priscilla. She said, “Sister, why are you here too?”Priscilla faintly threw her a glance.Regina adored a proud princess look today, wearing a white dress matched with a jacket of the same color.Following behind her was another girl.Priscilla knew her. She was Regina’s distant cousin, named… Lyla Kelly?Lyla rose to Fame as an online celebrity and signed with Regina’s studio.

    Gwyneth may have a round face, but she was natural and adorable. At first, her bearing and face shape did not work in her favour against a strong and persevering character such as Meg Cuneta.It never crossed anyone’s mind that she would come out looking good after styling.She not only inspired Meg Cuneta’s forbearing temperament but also had a kind of natural indifference and conceit.This was a fairly complicated person.After all, she was once a princess of an empire, high above the masses.There was no one above her other than the emperor. Her arrogance was bred in the bone. Even with her country and family in ruins, she could not get rid of it, despite falling into the hands of the enemy.Hence, she had to hide.But she could not hide them all, so he made such a character with all kinds of temperament.After Gwyneth came out, Paul nodded approvingly.The first scene was played by Lyla.This was a flight play. A middle-aged actress would be running the lines with them. The captur

    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.Because of this, she didn’t take it seriously at all. She thought she could make it without much effort.Nonetheless, how was she to act without any supporting actors?The matron was already unto the next line.“I can’t lay a finger on you because you are the princess of the Empire, but they are merely enslaved prisoners. No one will say a word even if they die. Today, you will learn. They will live if you behave well. If not, don’t come blaming me then!”With these words, she gave the whip a violent blow in the air.The exploding crisp noise made Lyla jump.Due to her nervousness, she stuttered and forgot her lines.“If yo

    Gwyneth was on her knees and although her hands were tied, her head was held high.She distinctly enunciated each word. “I am a princess of the Empire. Why should I acquire the lowly expertise of a performer? Kill me as you please, but you can never break my spirit!”“Snap!”The whip was wielded.Following a grunt, she quivered out of pain.In the audience, Priscilla suddenly changed her face.When Lyla was auditioning earlier, although the matron waved a whip the whip was skillfully lashed to an empty spot beside her.Although the sound was alarming, the whip never touched her.Yet, Regina whipped Gwyneth intentionally?Caught off guard by her, Gwyneth gawked at Regina but the latter was already running through her next lines.The searing pang on her arm distorted her face, but she quickly snapped back and resumed her acting.Gritting her teeth, she glared at the matron on high and spat.“I can’t teach you a lesson, but I can do so to others. Bring them to me!”It was the same action

    Regina’s face stiffened slightly.If she refused, she would be considered mean.Fortunately, she had been acting for so many years, while Priscilla had never engaged in acting, so it was conceivable that she knew anything about acting at all.If she wanted to be humiliated, let her be.Thinking like this, Regina smiled with confidence.“Sure!” Seeing this, Director Romans agreed.He sat back down behind the monitor with a vague sense of manipulation.After all, although he chose Regina to act as Stefanie Marion, to be honest, she was not the perfect candidate in mind.However, without a better candidate on deck, he had to put up with such an arrangement for now.As for Priscilla, he was amazed at first sight.She had a calm and indifferent temperament, which was similar to the character of Stefanie Marion in his mind.That calm yet distant demeanor and the chilling presence presented by the slight furrow between the brows was a similar resemblance to the Stefanie Marion in his mind.B

    “Where is the general? And soldiers warriors? Where are they?” “They have been killed!”The ministers were in a great uproar, but the Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the throne, remained expressionless and calm.It was then the palace gate was opened.Soldiers in black armour rushed in.“Kill them all, except those who surrender!”The stage echoed with the sounds of cries and weapons clashing.Staring at the figure walking through the palace gate, Sofia’s unperturbed face finally wavered.Stefanie was of such mighty presence, cladded in black armor and equipped with a spear. Her furrowed brow addressed a chilling bearing that could only be if Hades from Hell, casting the arrogance and imperiousness of worldly disdain!Back in the auditorium, Paul was looking at Priscilla as Stefanie was coming, and his pupils shrank.That was… The picture in his head overlapping with his stirred quiet and emotion in him.This was Stefanie Marion in the flesh.The woman whose homeland and family

    “Do you know how hard it was for me to become the Empress? How much I had to endure to become an empress dowager? Finally, I sat high above the masses, without being held in contempt. Why wouldn’t you allow me to indulge a little longer?”Crying, and shouting, Sofia’s tears finally let out.Stefanie didn’t say anything. Gazing at her once beloved sister for a moment, she cracked into a smile. “You said nobody loves you? When you were a child, you stole your father’s jade fan. Who was the one beaten for you? When you were ten years old, you fell into a pond and nearly drowned. Who risked their life to save you? When you were fifteen years old, we were escorted to the Empire…”There was a sudden break in Stefanie's voice as if she had been reminded of some terrible memory.Those clear and cool eyes caught a scarlet, with deep disappointment and hatred.“Who was the one who came in the way when countless people tried to defile your innocence during the journey of a thousand five hundred

    “Sister, I was wrong! Please forgive me! I’m begging you!”Sofia fell on her face and crawled all the way, with tears and snot mixing. She no longer looked like an Empress Dowager of the Empire.The woman in the combat wear still did not look back, but her eyes, which were covered in the sunset glow, were stained with twinkles of red.Her face tightened, and the hand holding the seal trembled slightly.Scenes of their younger days-taking her sister to climb over walls, on trees, and play with mud but being met with her sister's dislike, flashed through her mind.Nevertheless, these scenes were soon replaced by images of innocent people dying in her hands.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.After a long time, Stefanie said in a cold voice, “The empress dowager of this empire is found guilty beyond forgiveness for the absence of virtue, going rampant and oppressing the people! She is hereby sentenced to death! The sky thundered and a thunderstorm began to sound.Sofia stood st

    Although he didn’t know why Vines chose Priscilla, who had never starred in any works, instead of so many experienced actresses, to play the heroine, he knew what kind of person she was.It was easy for Priscilla to get such opportunities with the dirty deal, but she had never done it. This time, it was just an unknown web series, and naturally, it was impossible for her to do that.Priscilla sat there and said lazily, “I’m good. I eat and sleep well. What’s wrong? Are you worried about me?”“Of course, no matter what, you are my sister after all. Our blood relationship can’t be changed. Since such a thing happened to you, of course, I will care about you.”With a fake smile on her face, Priscilla looked at Regina and said, “Thank you very much, but don’t worry. I’ve already asked someone to investigate this matter. I believe the result will be revealed soon.”Regina raised her eyebrows.“That’s good. Since you’re innocent, I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and prov

    Vines was shocked!His pupils dilated and he asked angrily, “Who is it?”Priscilla looked at him and wore a mocking smile, “Regina.”Vines was surprised, “W-What?”Not only he, but anyone in their set must be surprised to hear this answer.It’s not that he didn’t think Regina could do this, but that this didn’t do her any good.As was known to all, because of the scandal, Regina’s career seemed to be on a downward trajectory. She seldom had the chance to appear in any dramas.To make a successful comeback, she spent a lot of effort and finally got the chance to play the lead in this drama. She would try her best not to let the audience down.Because of this, the drama was particularly important for her.If something bad happened to both the director and the leading roles, the shooting would certainly be affected. If it became serious, the drama might not even get the chance to go on air.Then she would be affected since she also starred in this drama.So, why had she done this?To make

    “Wait!”Priscilla frowned.A wave of nausea swept over her. She violently shook off his hand, took two steps back, and looked at him coldly.Ryan’s hand froze in mid-air.He was stunned. He found Priscilla didn’t look well. She took a silk handkerchief out from her bag wiped the wrist he had just held and then threw the handkerchief in the nearby trash bin.“Don’t touch me! Just say what you want to say!”Ryan felt his throat blocked and suddenly had a particularly uncomfortable feeling.He felt that his heart was covered by something. It was stuffy, but it didn’t hurt very much. He just couldn’t say anything.He pursed his lips. After several seconds, he said softly, “Okay, then I’ll come to the point.”Priscilla appeared very calm and wasn’t willing to give him a look.Although Ryan felt uncomfortable in his heart, he also knew that everything now was the fruit of his actions. He couldn’t say anything to defend himself.So, he said directly, “I went to Spark Land a few days ago.”Pr

    “Yes. We have seen you two lovey-dovey several times after we got here. Please take more care of us as we are still single.”“Are you just going to be so lovey-dovey every day? You fall in deep love with each other. When will you get married?”Regina smiled and looked at Ryan.Ryan looked at the person who asked the question and smiled faintly.“Soon. I’m going to formally propose marriage to her family and then get married after her part is finished.”Hearing his answer, these people became more surprised.Then they even directly gathered around them and asked about their marriage.Seeing this, Priscilla lowered her head. She curled her lips slightly and then went into the room.Not far away, Ryan had seen her. When he glanced at her and found she had gone back into her room, he felt his heart aching.Someone pulled him and said, “Mr. Smith, since you are getting married to Regina, and we and she are also friends who have shot a drama together, so don’t forget to invite us when you g

    Her fan base was too small to exert a large influence on the Internet, so no one noticed they had set up a fan club.Priscilla was quite happy to be recognized by them.She chatted with that Like-A-Fantasy for a while before she logged off. Then she put away her phone and headed to the set.When Priscilla arrived at the set, Regina saw her and immediately walked over.Regina looked sullen, so Portia subconsciously stood in front of Priscilla to protect her.Seeing that, Regina looked gloomier, but she stopped. “Where is Rosy? Where have you taken her?”Priscilla raised her eyebrows. There was a hint of mockery in her cold and indifferent eyes. “Isn’t Rosy your assistant? If your assistant is missing. Does it have anything to do with me?”Hearing that, Regina was fuming with anger.“Stop acting. If you hadn’t taken her away, I would have found her!”Priscilla sneered, “You said that I took Rosy away. Do you have any evidence?”Regina was at a loss.When Portia took Rosy away, they were

    In Priscilla’s view, it was simply inhuman!The best food was not from Michelin-starred restaurants but from a street food stall.Frederick wouldn’t agree with her. In his opinion, the snacks were junk food.How could his wife have such dirty food?Priscilla didn’t bother to argue with him and followed his advice. Now that she was on the set and Fredrick was not here, she could eat whatever she wanted.She felt wonderful after being full and felt Rosy pleasing to the eye.She ate too much. Instead of sitting down, she stood by the window with a glass of water, with one elbow on the railing idly.She looked at Rosy and asked, “Do you want to say it or not?”Rosy pursed her lips without a word.Priscilla’s gaze turned cold, “Do you think that I have no way if you don’t say it?”Rosy kept silent.Priscilla sneered, “Regina got something on you. Have you ever thought about it? If I call the police, I will be arrested and imprisoned for at least half a year. If you are in prison, what shou

    A few minutes later, Portia came back, utterly confused.“I don’t get it, why’d you let her go? She had that server drug you! Regina must be behind this! If she’d only speak, we’ve had proof to use against your evil sister!”Priscilla chuckled. She took a look at the time. It was getting late. Time to get back to shooting. As she walked out, she said, “She wouldn’t stay and testify for us if we kept her here, so what’s the point?”Puffing up, Portia glared at her, “But still you shouldn’t let go of her so easily. As long as you want, I can let her tell the truth by all means.” Priscilla turned her gaze at Portia worriedly.“Portia, calm down!”Priscilla knew that Portia was not just some ordinary bodyguard.She had never seen a bodyguard as agile and good at fighting as Portia before.Fredrick let Portia protect his wife to ensure she was safe and sound. It could be concluded that the lady bodyguard must have some strengths.Seeing Priscilla’s look, Portia was somewhat annoyed and sc

    “Didn’t Regina win the best actress? Why is she this crappy? I heard the character should be a strong and tough woman originally. Even though she’s now a deposed Empress, and she can’t show that strong side too much if she wants to live, that performance was way too weak!”“Yeah, I read about this character when they introduced her with the script. And her crying is way too fake! Not even a tear.”“Is that all a movie star is capable of these days? If that’s the case, I feel like I could be a movie star.”“Please! Movie star? More like a trash actress!”“What are you talking about? Regina got her award with ability. You just sound like you’re jealous!”“Ability? Give me a break! I’m not buying any of it.”“Yes, everyone knows what happened when they were electing for the awards. She’d been about a hundred thousand votes away from first place in the last thirty seconds, but then she got all hundred thousand votes within those thirty seconds. Heh, they said the votes were calculated by

    “Cut!”Vines’ voice rang out again.He tamped down on his annoyance and said to Regina, “The emotions were wrong there. Remember, you might be the former Empress, but you still need to have some backbone when facing your hated rival who deposed you! That was too weak, you looked like a handmaiden. I need more strength on your temperament, got it?”Regina’s face grew sour.But she still nodded.“Take three!”“You’re lower than a Dog in the gutter at this point. What makes you think I’d show any interest in such a pitiful creature?”“If you’re not interested, then why show up here today?!” Regina yelled.“Cut!”Annoyed, Vines stood up from behind the camera, pointed at Regina and said, “What are you thinking going so hard up against the new Empress? You’ve been deposed and you’re defenceless. She can strangle you to death at a thought; are you trying to get yourself killed speaking to her like this?”Regina’s expression sank completely.She couldn’t hold it back and retorted, “You told
