"Why not?" Eliza looked really puzzled. "What did I do?" The director glanced at her irritably. "I don't know. It's an order from the higher-ups. They said that you are not allowed to work as a stuntwoman anymore." "If you have time to ask me, why don't you think about what you did to offend them?" The director looked at Eliza disappointedly. "From today onwards, you can be a stand-in actress instead. Even though you'll earn less from it, at least you'll have more free time." "You can also take the opportunity to think about your mistakes!" Eliza returned backstage with a gloomy face. Graciana comforted her, "Don't be sad. working as a stand-in actress is not bad as well." Stand-ins took the place of principal actors and they worked closely with camera setups. The weather was scorching hot. Standing under the sun, Eliza was sweating from head to toe. As she stood like a mere prop in the background, she thought to herself
Eliza almost spat out the juice in her mouth. She lowered her voice. "Is she Demarion's online friend?" Eliza was already shocked enough to know that Demarion was making friends on the internet. Now, she was dumbfounded to see that the so-called friend was Esme. "Don't make a sound. Let's just watch." Braint lowered his head and sent a message on his phone. Over there, Esme sat down at the reserved table and took out a small mirror. While she was fixing her makeup, she also made phone calls to show off to her best friend. "I'm at the restaurant now. Rodolfo said that he'll be here soon." "I wonder why men like to fawn over me. We just talked for two days and he has already gifted me a ten karat diamond ring." "He also told me that he'll announce our relationship to media outlets after meeting me today. Imagine that, I'll be in the headlines and I'll be the happiest woman in Krine!" "Yes, rest assured. I will definitely invite you to
When they walked out of the restaurant, they saw a black Maserati parked outside. Braint let go of Eliza's hand and went straight to the passenger's seat. Eliza had no choice but to open the door of the back seat. At the back seat, Beau was sitting there in silence as he stared at his laptop sternly. Although they had been married for some time, Eliza couldn't help but admire his beauty whenever she saw his impeccable facial features. "Why are you here..." He didn't even raise his head. Still concentrating on the computer screen, he tapped on the keyboard gently. "As a parent, I have to go to the police station in person when my son is in trouble." Eliza pursed her lips and sat inside. "Are you aware of what happened?" Beau stopped what he was doing and turned to fixate his gaze at her. "Do you really think the kids can get a ten-karat diamond ring without my permission?" Eliza was dumbfounded. The children wouldn't be able to
The surroundings quieted down instantly. Esme and Presley looked at the couple in shock. Then, they stared at each other in disbelief. "Are... are you Mr. Valentine?" Esme mustered up her courage and asked. Beau smiled and placed his hand on Eliza's shoulder, "Yes, that's me." Presley was so shocked she couldn't even speak! "How is this possible?" she thought. The whole reason Presley forced Eliza to get married in Esme's stead was that Mr. Valentine was a cruel and ugly monster! Rumors had it that the fire had wrecked him, both inside and out. Now, the monster was standing before them, but he was nothing as the rumors described. Beau had incredibly handsome looks which radiated his intimidating aura. "Honey, let me introduce you to my family." Eliza wrapped her arm around Beau and smiled proudly. "This person here is my stepmother, Presley Stafford. The other one is my stepsister, Esme Lawson." Beau raised his eye
The Valentine family's villa. Eliza hummed joyfully as she prepared dinner in the kitchen. Demarion moved over a small stool and sat in the center of the kitchen. He rested his chin on both hands and tilted his head to look at Eliza. "Mommy." Eliza, who was busy cutting the vegetables, paused and looked at him. "What's wrong?" "If only you were my biological mommy." He stared into her eyes seriously and said, "You know, our eyes look the same. What if you actually turn out to be my biological mother?" Eliza smiled helplessly as she turned around to continue doing her task at hand. "I've never given birth to children..." She stopped abruptly. She did have a miscarriage five years before. Did that count as having experience in giving birth? Eliza's heart ached when she thought about her past. She changed the topic instantly, "Have you never seen your biological mother before?" "No, I've never seen her before." Demar
Eliza couldn't think straight when Beau was around. He gave off such a domineering presence. Right now, his face was just centimeters away from hers. Gosh, how could someone be that handsome! Beau raised her chin and flirted, "It's true that I always maintain a low profile, but I'll make an exception for you." Coming from him, those words sounded magnetic and enchanting. Eliza was intoxicated by his mere existence. Her mind went blank. She wanted to say something, but her words were stuck at the back of her throat. He rubbed his fingers against her soft lips and said, "Tell me if you come across people who dare to tarnish my name. I will make sure they suffer a painful death." Satisfied, he swept his gaze at her flushed complexion as he turned to leave. Eliza was petrified as she remained frozen like a statue on the bed. Images of Beau's gaze and his body pressing on her flooded her mind. After feasting on her brief memories, she ca
Madeleine looked like she was about to murder Eliza at the moment. Eliza smiled. "We are just working. I'm sure you won't be jealous over something like this, right?" Right at this moment, Jay walked over. Madeleine threw herself into his arms and said coquettishly, "Baby dear, Eliza is making me angry on purpose." "She keeps provoking me. Eliza wants me to feel jealous because you'll be doing an intimate scene with her later." "We have been together for so many years. Why should I be jealous of her?" Jay frowned and looked at Eliza with displeasure, "Eliza, I understand that we're not exactly buddies right now, but please understand that we are working at the moment." "Please at least show professionalism at work." "Sure, I don't have any problems with that." Eliza stretched her arms lazily and said, "You keep going on about professionalism, but isn't it unprofessional of you to have your girlfriend bossing me around during workin
"Do I like torturing myself?" Eliza pursed her lips. "No, I don't." While listening to the news, she was just trying to relax. Jay and Madeleine were the most popular candidates nominated for the Golden Bull Award this year, so it was only normal for the radio broadcast to be flooded with news about them. Although she didn't really like listening to it, it didn't affect her much because they had already severed their relationship a long time ago. Right now, she was only treating it as background noise. Beau frowned. "You should be moving on." Eliza paused. "Moving on from what..." Before she could finish her sentence, Beau was already walking towards her at a quick pace. He pulled Eliza's wrist and went downstairs. "What are you doing?" Shocked, Eliza thrashed her am to break free from his grasp. "Where are you taking me?" She was still wearing her bunny pajamas and her mask was still plastered on her face! Without a wo
"Don't move!" The police escorted Hollie away. Eliza and Lyric were sent to the hospital. Fortunately, after the examination, Eliza's body was fine. But because she suffered a shock which affected her baby, she had to stop shooting and stay at home to recuperate. As for Beau, he didn't even go to the company. He stayed at home to accompany Eliza. "Why don't you go back to work?" Eliza really couldn't stand Beau wandering around in front of her all day long. More importantly, Beau always made some strange tonics for her in the name of being good to her. Eliza really couldn't take it anymore! Every time, she would secretly give it to the three children. But now, in order to avoid being fed by her, the three children had already left with Matthew and Roseane, saying that they would come back after the baby in her belly was born... "Doesn't it taste good?" Beau pulled up the corner of his mouth. "I made it following the recipe. Your bod
Hollie stretched out her finger and lifted Eliza's chin. She clicked her tongue and said, "What's wrong? Are you very surprised? Can't you even differentiate yourself anymore?" "What exactly do you want to do?" Crazy! At this moment, Eliza only felt that Hollie was crazy. Only people who were completely insane would fall to such a state! Hollie sneered. "What else can I do? I just hate you. Eliza, do you think Beau can tell the difference? Don't worry, I'll definitely keep you alive." Suddenly, Hollie grabbed Eliza's chin and suddenly tightened it. Eliza's chin creaked as she was pinched. However, Eliza's eyes were still extremely stubborn. "In your dreams!" Eliza's gaze was gloomy as she berated her. "You will never become me. Even if you look the same as me, you are just an illegitimate daughter who's despised by others!" Slap. Hollie's eyes were bloodshot from anger. She raised her hand and gave Eliza a hard slap on
"Eliza, are you okay?" Lyric, who had just picked up the phone, was about to open the door to see what was going on inside when she saw that Eliza had already come out. She changed into clean clothes. "Let's go." "What's wrong with your voice?" Lyric noticed that Eliza's voice was a little hoarse, and she asked with some worry, "Did you catch a cold? I'll make you some medicine later." "Okay." Eliza replied. Lyric felt that something was wrong, but she thought that Eliza was not feeling well, so she didn't ask more. Because he was worried about Eliza's health, the director didn't arrange for Eliza to shoot later. Lyric drove the car and prepared to send Eliza back. "Don't go back yet. Send me to a place." Eliza leaned against the chair in the back seat and spoke lazily. Hearing that Eliza's voice was so hoarse, Lyric hurriedly asked, "Eliza, why don't we go see a doctor first? Your situation doesn'
"All hands on deck!" The director held a big loudspeaker and shouted loudly. For a time, the originally lively filming site immediately became serious. The actors and actresses also took their positions. "Eliza, are you sure you can do it?" Lyric, who was waiting by the side with a bath towel in her hand, frowned and asked with a worried face. If something went wrong, she really didn't know how to explain it to Beau! Eliza smiled at Lyric and comforted Lyric with her gaze. She said quietly, "It's going to be okay." The moment she turned her head, Eliza had already got into character. The main focus of this scene was the role of the second female lead played by Luna Snow. Because she was jealous of the role of the female lead played by Eliza, she took the opportunity and pushed the female lead into the water when she was not paying attention. Moreover, the second female lead even had to say vicious words to the female lead! "Be care
"What happened to him?" When Eliza saw that Matthew was huffily leaving the set, she was instantly puzzled. Beau seemed to be used to it. He handed Eliza a cup of warm water and calmly replied, "Aren't you used to Matthew's presumptuous attitude yet? Roseane dotes on him but he doesn't dare to do this in front of me." Eliza smiled. "No one dares to be presumptuous in front of you." Beau touched Eliza's head and said in a doting tone, "Cough, what you said is right." Eliza wanted to say something to Matthew, but she saw Beau's phone ring. Beau's expression was very serious as he looked at the screen. She realized that something must have happened. "Beau, if you have anything to do, you should go and get busy first. Lyric and a few of your bodyguards are here. Nothing will happen." Eliza saw that Beau was looking at her with hesitation, so she took the initiative to persuade him to go and get busy. After all, Beau's career
Early the next morning, Matthew followed Roseane everywhere like a clingy person. As long as Roseane had a scene with the male actor, Matthew would stand next to the director with a gloomy face and cold eyes. The cold air pressure emanating from his body, as well as the crunching teeth, were hard to be ignored. "Mr. Valentine..." The assistant director couldn't stand it anymore. He slowly moved to Matthew and suggested in a low voice, "Why don't you go to the lounge and wait for a while?" If it went on like this, they would not be able to finish shooting! The assistant director was so annoyed that he almost started scratching his hair! Matthew smiled and replied politely, "It's fine. I'm not tired." Help! The assistant director almost rolled his eyes. But he had to bite the bullet and smile awkwardly. As soon as Roseane finished a scene, Matthew ran over with his long legs and quickly helped her up. "What's wrong?" Matthew as
"I haven't seen you for an entire day." Matthew's entire head was buried between Roseane's neck, rubbing against it non-stop. Afraid of the itch, Roseane held back her laughter and stroked Matthew's head. "Can you not be so childish? You're already a father." Hearing this, Matthew immediately squatted down, put his ear on Roseane's belly, and listened carefully. "Do you think the baby misses me too?" Matthew took the opportunity to say, "Humph, if you hadn't learned from someone and didn't let me come to the crew, how would I not have the chance to see the baby and you all day?" As he spoke, Matthew sighed a few times in grievance. "No, I have to come to the crew tomorrow. I'm worried that you and my baby will miss me. Listen, my baby is crying in the belly, saying that her Mommy is so cruel that she won't let her Daddy come to see her." Matthew even acted in front of Roseane. "Pfft!" Unable to control herself, Roseane was amused by the c
In the next few days, nothing special happened to Eliza. The uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. But until that day, when she had just finished her work and was ready to go back to the dressing room to remove her makeup, she opened the drawer where she put her things. When she saw a bleeding dead mouse, she was shocked. Lyric followed behind Eliza into the room and naturally saw it too. Her entire face instantly turned pale. She scolded angrily, "Who on earth did this? How can this person be so bold? Eliza, I'm going to find the director now. I don't believe that I can't find out who did it even after checking the surveillance video on the corridor of the dressing room." "Don't go." Compared to Lyric's panic, Eliza appeared to be calm. If she was manipulated by the person hiding in the dark, it was just like falling into the trap. Eliza had never been a person who could endure being bullied. She closed the drawer again and waved at Lyric,
"How dare you touch my wife?" Beau's eyes turned cold. He narrowed his eyes slightly and bent over to directly pinch Reggie's chin. Reggie was like a fish whose throat had been strangled. He could only struggle in pain. Beau's slender fingers moved down slowly until they reached Reggie's neck. He sneered. "If you don't want your neck to be broken, you can give it a try! Keep moving!" Every word was loud and powerful. No matter how arrogant Reggie was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Beau. He could only plead, "Mr. Valentine, please let me go! I really didn't do it on purpose. I was ignorant!" Beau pushed hard in disgust, and Reggie fell to the ground. His back hit the raised part of the corner of the wall, and it suddenly hurt so much. Hiss. Reggie kept sucking in cold air. He rubbed his waist with one hand and tried to stand up with difficulty. Seeing that Eliza was still unhappy, Beau's gaze on Reggie grew a li
