"It's no big deal," Stella said pretentiously.A domino effect began to take root. The surrounding staff started to praise Stella one after another. Stella was like the brightest star in the crowd, constantly receiving praise from those around her. As for Melody, it seemed like her only function was to serve as a contrast to Stella."Melody, let me see the script," Stella said, reaching out to take the script from Melody's hands.Melody hesitated for a moment, then placed the script down, avoiding her hand.Stella scoffed in her heart, feeling that Melody was unappreciative. However, she maintained a pleasant smile on her face and said, "Melody, are you not allowed to give the script to others to see? No problem. You can read it out to me, then!""Thank you, Miss Stella, for being willing to explain the film to me. However, I'd like to ponder over it myself a bit more, to see if I can bring out my own style in the performance," Melody politely expressed her gratitude and declined

Stella still could not understand why Shaun would choose Melody as the female lead. Melody had no acting experience at all, and she did not have any fan base. How could she handle the role of the female lead in a movie? Surely no one would go watch 'War Song' then?'Shaun must be regretting his decision now after all the commotion that happened today,' thought Stella. She was sure that Shaun would give her the role of the female lead if she came to the set another time to kick up a fuss.Melody performed poorly. Instead of regretting his decision, however, Shaun took the time to coach her in acting. This was something Stella had not expected.After all, when Stella acted in her first film, Shaun gave her an earful for every mistake she made. He never took the time to coach her himself.'Ugh! What exactly makes Melody so special?' thought Stella.Stella's eyes wandered, and she saw the makeup table next to her with 'Melody' written on it, and a bag placed on the chair.'That must

"Which makeup artist is so unprofessional?" came Shaun's displeased voice in the makeup room before he did. He angrily pushed the door open, saying, "Do you guys realize that we're all waiting for Melody? Does the entire crew have to wait for you to find this eyeshadow palette?"The makeup artist, already frustrated for not finding the item, became even more upset with Shaun's remarks. "But Mister Shaun, we used this eyeshadow palette for Melody's character still. The effect will be different if we use another eyeshadow palette.""So everyone has to wait just for you to find this eyeshadow palette?" Shaun became even angrier. "Do you know how much money this production costs every day?"Tears welled up in the makeup artist's eyes after being yelled out.Seeing that the argument was about to escalate between the two, Melody quickly stepped forward to comfort the makeup artist. "Mister Shaun is just too anxious. How about we go to the nearby mall to buy the same eyeshadow palette?"

Melody nodded. "My bag has been here all along. Anyone can come in here, and someone might've put this eyeshadow palette in my bag. I was with Mister Shaun. He was giving me some pointers about acting, and I haven't come back at all.""Are you suggesting that someone is framing you?" The makeup artist dismissed her explanation and eyed her in disdain. "One might think you've watched too many dramas! Not everyone is out to get you, you know? Just who do you think you are?"Melody felt that she could not explain things clearly to the makeup artist. The makeup artist refused to listen."Just think about it calmly. Would I put the eyeshadow palette in my own bag if I wanted to steal it?""That's enough. I'm pretty sure Melody didn't steal the eyeshadow palette. Anyway, you've found it, so hurry up and do her makeup," said Shaun.Shaun knew Melody was Lucas' wife, even though Lucas had told him to keep it a secret. He could only try to downplay the situation as much as possible.The m

The makeup artist concluded that Melody and Shaun were having an affair of sorts, and she would not listen no matter what explanations they provided. Although the others did not openly say anything, they silently agreed with the makeup artist's words.Unfortunately, human nature dictated that people would enjoy hearing taboo and sensational things, even if those things were completely untrue."Alright, we've explained everything that we've needed to explain. The innocent have nothing to hide. Let's all get back to work now. We're already behind schedule as it is."Despite the lingering doubts and suspicions in everyone's minds regarding their alleged improper relationship, Shaun had spoken, so nobody dared to say anything more. They could only get back to work.The makeup artist, having offended Shaun this time, had no intention of continuing to work there. She packed up and left immediately after everyone dispersed.After everyone left, Mister Shaun sighed. "Melody, I apologize f

Melody did not have much appetite, but after taking a nap, she felt a bit hungry. Her appetite opened up even more when she saw the delicious food in front of her. She began to eat in silence.Lucas watched her quietly.After finishing the meal, Melody rubbed her stomach and said, "Oh, no. Mister Shaun said I need to control my weight during the shoot…but this food is too delicious! I couldn't help but finish it.""Just eat whatever you want. I'll go talk to Shaun about it." Lucas was accustomed to solving problems in the simplest way possible, and the first solution he could think of was to find Shaun.Melody quickly declined. "No, no, no. You better not go talk to him."After all, there were already rumors going around that she had climbed up through connections. Those rumors would undoubtedly become more substantiated if Lucas stepped in again to secure special treatments for her.Lucas did not insist since Melody was unwilling. However, his expression did darken a little. See

[The relationship between the two is quite unusual indeed.]…While Melody was reading those comments in her hotel room, Lucas was also looking at the absurd online news in his office. He knew that the entertainment industry was not easy to navigate, but he did not expect Melody to encounter such rumors right after she freshly delved into the world."Edmund, go and look into that makeup artist. Get rid of the false news online immediately."…"Melody?!"Wendy, who had been holed up at home for half a month, came across the VeeTube post as well. It was only then she found out Melody had also entered the entertainment industry and even secured the female lead role in 'War Song'.Wendy had been struggling to find job opportunities, let alone star in a leading role in a major film, ever since losing that advertising shoot."No wonder Melody is so arrogant now. She's been sleeping with the director!" said Wendy indignantly.She casually forwarded the VeeTube post. Even though she w

Shaun's action made everyone view the man from a different perspective. It was the man who suddenly appeared on the set. After all, in this crew, Shaun practically called the shots. Shaun showing utmost respect indicated that this man held an extraordinary status."If I hadn't come, were you planning to ignore the whole situation?" Lucas glanced at him, clearly dissatisfied with the occurrence of this matter.Shaun was the one who hired Melody, and he knew that Melody had not managed her properly. Being reprimanded by Lucas left him with no excuses. He could only bow and admit his mistake. "Indeed, I didn't handle this matter well. I'm truly sorry.""So you know you didn't handle it well, huh? Let me take care of it for you today." Lucas did not say much more and walked toward Melody.Watching him approach step by step, Melody was still in shock. "Lucas, why... Why are you here?""If you feel wronged and uncomfortable, then go home and rest for a few days," Lucas said as he lowere

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
