"Matthew?" Demarion was just about to go downstairs for some water when he found a suspicious man sneaking around in the corridor outside the study. With a frown, he said, "It's so late already, what are you doing here?" Matthew froze momentarily. Taken aback, he hastily shushed the little fellow and pointed at the study. "Don't make a sound! Your daddy is inside with your new mommy." Demarion's frown deepened and he quickly caught on after some thought. The little guy pursed his lips and tugged at Matthew's sleeve. "Since I can't bother them, you can't either." "Let's go, I'll treat you to some plain water!" Matthew fumbled for a reply. He stopped in his tracks and said, "You can go ahead." "Your cousin brother Matthew has an important task to complete." Demarion blinked in confusion and echoed, "Task? What task?" "Of course it's to..." Matthew pulled out a pen recorder with an evil cackle. "Grandpa has always been doub
Having stayed up until two in the morning analyzing Matthew's script for him, Eliza didn't wake up until late morning the next day. Out of habit, she picked up her phone to look at the time. It was already nine o'clock! She leaped out of bed and dashed into the bathroom to wash up. Then, she slipped into a change of clothes, flew downstairs in a couple of strides, and left home. It wasn't until she climbed out of the car at the entrance of Parson Media did she suddenly remember that she... seemed to have resigned yesterday. Standing before the wide glass doors that led into the building, Eliza heaved a long sigh. In Tom's office yesterday, she was beyond unrestrained when she declared that she would walk herself out. The grief did not sink in until now when she was standing in front of everything that was once familiar to her. There was only one Parson Media in all of Krine. If she still wished to continue working as a stuntwoman, s
No sooner had Eliza's message been sent than she received a call from the chief director. "Eliza, where are you now?" "I'm so excited that you have agreed to take on the role of the second female lead!" "Are you free now? Come to Parson Media and I will get someone to explain the script to you!" Eliza frowned slightly. "There's no need for that." She had done many years of script analysis, and she didn't need anyone's help with that. The director paused. "But you'll still have to come over to Parson Media. How else can I pass the script to you?" Eliza hesitated for a moment and agreed. The director asked to meet her in the conference room on the third floor of Parson Media's office. After she entered the conference room, she realized that not only were the chief director, producer, and assistant director waiting for her... But among these people, there was one person whom she was particularly reluctant to meet: Jay Carr.
Eliza was amazed by Jay's shamelessness. She shot him a half-hearted smile. "But don't you think I'm tarnished?" Jay's eyes lit up at how mild of a reaction he received from Eliza. "I used to think you were filthy. "But now, I have Madeleine, who's clean and pure by my side. Should you choose to stay by my side, I guess I could put up with you." After saying that, he gave Eliza a lecherous once over. "Frankly speaking, you have a much better figure and appearance compared to Madeleine. "It's just too bad that..." Eliza felt so repulsed by Jay's words. But still, she looked up and shot him a smile. "Well, it isn't entirely impossible for me to be with you... "However, I have a condition." "Go ahead." She gave him a coy smile. "Get out of the car and I will tell you." Jay immediately got out of the car and strode gracefully over to Eliza's side. "Go ahead. "I will meet your condition as long as it is within
They arrived at the Valentines' villa. The moment Eliza entered the door, Demarion rushed up to her. The boy held a large bouquet of roses in his arms and said, "Congratulations, Mommy!" Eliza received the bouquet and asked, "What are you congratulating me for?" "Because you no longer need to be a stuntwoman! Braint and I are really happy for you!" Demarion looked at her with a cheery smile. "Braint even made a drink especially for you!" Eliza was touched. She squatted down to cup Demarion's face and kissed him gently. "Thank you." The boy's face turned as red as a tomato. He turned his face away abashedly. "I... I... "I'll go upstairs to get Braint!" With that, he pushed Eliza away and ran upstairs. Eliza was amused by Demarion's antics. "Who knew that such a young child would be so shy!" "That's an inherited trait," Beau commented as he took his coat off elegantly and handed it to a servant. Eliz
"Excuse me, Sir." Jay's expression was stony. "I respect your interest in this production. However, I believe you should not affect our progress." For some reason, Jay could feel the hostility this cold and reserved man had towards him. It felt almost tangible. "Is that so?" Beau looked up at him. His gaze was so domineering that it was almost suffocating. "Yes, Sir!" Jay frowned and looked into the man's dark, obsidian eyes. "You must not disturb us." The fact was that they could very well go through their lines while filming, but Jay had insisted to do it in the conference room instead. He intended to make use of Eliza to gain more popularity. But if this man decides to sit between them to separate them, there would not be any photographs taken of him being close and intimate with Eliza! "It's not necessary to sit next to each other to go through our lines." Eliza interrupted Jay. "We can get it done like this too."
Who did he think he was?! "I'm the Best Actor-to-be at this year's Golden Bull Award!" Jay was furious. He glared at the director fiercely and hissed between gritted teeth, "You call this a valid reason?" He didn't understand. Why? Who exactly was he? How did he coerce the least corrupted director in the industry into losing his bottom line? "Best Actor at the Golden Bull Award?" The man sitting beside Eliza let out a chuckle. "Not necessarily, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, the chief director promptly caught on that Jay no longer stood a chance to be crowned Best Actor. He snorted coldly and instantly grew apathetic toward Jay. "To the best of my knowledge, the final results of this year's Golden Bull Award aren't out yet. "Do you really consider yourself a candidate for Best Actor?" He turned toward the chief scriptwriter and ordered, "We'll make changes as this gentleman sees fit!" Then, he glanced at Jay in
Eliza was taken aback. The entire way back from Parson Media, Beau's words kept reverberating in her head. "To them, you're merely a weakling that they can bully at will. "If you wish to avoid being bullied and framed in the future, grow stronger so that you can crush them under your feet." 'Crush them under my feet…' Eliza chewed on the thought. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. That seemed to be the only way out now. Beau was there to help her deal with it this time. But will he be there the next time? And after that? As long as she carried on with this career, it was inevitable that she would meet these two people and be entangled with them again. If that was the case, then it would be better to... As Beau said, crush them under her feet! With that in mind, she arrived at the entrance of the Valentine's villa. When she went upstairs, she found Demarion coming out of her room sneak
"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
