Jay said unhappily, "When Madeleine started her career in the entertainment circle, you promised to help her if she ever wants to become an actress." "Are you going back on your words only after one year?" Eliza sneered. "If I remember correctly, you had also promised to marry me, that you'd spend the rest of your life with me." If Jay could break his promise that easily, then why couldn't she do the same to him? However, Jay interpreted her words to a different meaning. Jay smiled smugly and looked and Eliza with sympathy, "Eliza, I've made it very clear with you. I will never marry a promiscuous woman who likes f*cking around with other men. Even worse, you gave birth to his child." "I understand that you still love me, but still, my heart belongs to Madeleine now. Let's stay as friends instead." Eliza froze. After a long while, she finally understood what he was implying. That idiot thought that she was still in love with him!
It was so quiet that even the sound of the breeze could be heard. "Ding dong—" Eliza's phone rang, indicating low battery. Worried, she turned off the flashlight and hoped that she could use the dwindling power to call Graciana. However, as soon as she dialed the number, the phone screen went black. It ran out of battery. All of a sudden, the surrounding darkness overwhelmed her and she couldn't catch her breath. Eliza felt her heart drumming against her chest as anxiety struck her. The quiet darkness was like a monster baring its fangs and engulfing her whole. She was terrified of the darkness. Looking at the moonlight outside the window, she called out for help desperately. "Is anyone here? Please!" "Please save me!" "Is anybody here?" She knocked on the door as hard as she could, hoping that the noise would attract the passersby's attention. Even after her throat was sore from shouting and her
When Eliza woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a nightmare last night. When she woke up, she realized that she was sweating so much that it had soaked through the pillow. Getting up from the bed, she charged her cell phone and went to the bathroom to wash up. She still vaguely remembered what happened last night. Someone locked her in the resting lounge on purpose. Her phone was dead and her surroundings were pitch black. Just when she was in despair, she saw Beau appearing before her. After that, she could no longer remember anything. However, she could remember Beau's silhouette vividly. It was as if Superman itself had appeared before her eyes. Thinking of Beau, a streak of red surged up her cheeks and her heart drummed against her chest. Suddenly, the ringtone of her phone broke her reverie as she came back to her senses. Eliza rushed to the table to pick up her phone. It was Graciana. "Why
Tom was shocked. "Fire who?" Eliza nodded. "The reason I'm here, isn't...isn't it because of the news being spread online?" "What are you talking about?" Tom turned to look at his secretary with a puzzled expression, "Update me. What happened?" The secretary paused. He inched closer and whispered into Tom's ears. Tom frowned and his demeanor turned serious almost instantly. Eliza sighed. It seemed like she could not escape the fate of being fired after all. Just as she was about to take the initiative to resign, Tom smiled at her and said, "Eliza, rest assured. I will deal with that." "I'll fire Madeleine Robinson right now!" Aside from Eliza, the curious onlookers were also stunned beyond words. The secretary reminded Tom discreetly, "You're talking about Eliza right?" Tom frowned and said, "No! The one who should be fired is Madeleine! How dare she frame my staff in my company!" "Eliza is a professional stu
"Then ask Madeleine to beg me for forgiveness too." Eliza pursed her lips and continued, "And all the directors, scriptwriters, and producers who have turned their noses up at me in the past." Beau was slightly taken aback by her words. He narrowed his eyes momentarily, and then he smiled. "Okay." Eliza turned to look at him. "Should I provide you with a list of names, then?" He smirked. "It would be best if you could." "But even without a name list, I will still be able to find every one of them just the same." Eliza had no words. "Does he really mean it?" She pondered. Eliza sighed and said, "I was just kidding." After saying that, she rolled down the window to catch some fresh air. The cool breeze cleared her head. "I was really cool back there when I turned Tom's offer down. I told him that I'll take care of my problems by myself and that I will not rely on my ties with you." "If I still end up having
When Eliza arrived at the hospital, Roseane was already there waiting for her. When Roseane caught sight of Eliza, she got out of the car, took her by the hand, and strode into the hospital. Behind them, paparazzi swarmed around like flies and quickly caught up with them. Roseane brought Eliza to the Department of Injury Assessment. Only after she sat down did Eliza realize that Roseane had brought her here for an injury assessment because of the slap Madeleine gave her. "Forget about that." She smiled faintly and unbuttoned her shirt, revealing a shoulder wrapped in gauze. Then she said, "It'd be better if you could assess this injury instead." Beside her, Roseane's eyes widened in shock. "Eliza, what happened..." Eliza gently removed the gauze, revealing the wound which Jay had torn. "Someone had replaced a prop with an actual weapon when I acted as a stunt double. I got injured and the wound has yet to heal." "What happened yest
The topic of "Madeleine Robinson Destroys Seductress" continued to gain a lot of attention and soon ranked second on the trending list. Staff members excitedly projected the trending list onto a large screen in Jay's studio. At the sight of her name projected on the big screen, Madeleine gripped Jay's hand tightly. "Jay, it won't be long before I reach first place on the trending list." When that happens, she will get a lot of publicity all over the Internet, and she will be able to gain popularity and be as famous as Roseane. Roseane had achieved fame back then with a similar trending topic of taking out the person who had set foot in her relationship. If that could push Roseane to such fame, then this would definitely work for her too! "Based on the hype we are receiving, Miss Robinson will be at the top of the trending list in less than five minutes." Beside them, Jay's manager, Jayda, whipped out a camera excitedly. "I have to rec
Eliza finally got the starfruits Braint wanted when she got to the tenth market. On the taxi ride back home, she was just about to give Braint a call when she received a call from Graciana instead. "Eliza, that was amazing!" "I just finished watching the battle of the trending list! Madeleine lost so badly!" Graciana sighed with mixed feelings. "Mr. Valentine is just too cool!" Eliza had no idea what Graciana was going on about. "What's that? Battle of the trending list?" "You don't know what happened?" Graciana was so shocked that her voice raised an octave. "As one of the protagonists, you had no idea about the intense battle that took place just now?" Confusion was evident on Eliza's face. "I've just gone to ten markets to buy starfruits for my son..." Graciana was at a loss for words. "Are your son's starfruits more important than your career?" She roared on the other end of the line. "Madeleine almost used you as a
