Finally, not wanting to be humiliated anymore, Stella made up an excuse and bade the Riveras farewell.Beatrice did not bother keeping her. Lucas just lifted his chin, signaling a servant to see her off without any attempt to persuade her to stay.Melody looked at Beatrice, and then at Lucas, thinking that it would be rude to have a servant see Stella off. However, when she raised her head, she saw Stella glaring at her fiercely.Melody furrowed her brow when she sensed the hostility coming from Stella. 'Why is she looking at me like that? Forget it. I was thinking of seeing her off, but I don't want to be alone with her now. Who knows what tricks she might pull on me again?'After Stella left, Beatrice had her maid take her back to her room. Lucas and Melody also returned to their rooms since they no longer had to act.Melody sat on the sofa in the bedroom, assuming a possessive posture without leaving any space for Lucas.Lucas glanced at her, then proceeded to unbutton his cuf

"I don't know your past as well as Miss Stella does, nor do I have a clear understanding of what you do every day, so I'd appreciate it if you could ask Edmund to send me an overview. Otherwise, we might be exposed when we perform in front of Grandma the next time. That… would be troublesome."Lucas' face darkened. "You'll know everything about me if you put in a little effort on caring about me, but you're right. There's no one else here now, so we don't need to put on an act anymore. You stay here. I'll go to the study to go over some documents."Lucas walked away without even looking back. Melody turned and picked up her script. It was as if she pretended not to hear the sound of him leaving until she was only left with herself in the room and the gradually fading scent of Lucas.Both of them busied themselves with their own tasks, but only Melody knew that she was zoning out while pretending to read the script. Her mind was a mess, thinking only about Lucas.'Nothing good ever

Late at night, when Lucas returned to the room, Melody was already asleep, holding the script in her arms. After Lucas covered her with a blanket, he got onto the bed and fell asleep as well.Lucas left for the company early the next morning. Not long after, Melody got out of bed.Melody had a lot of scenes to film this morning, so she had to get up early to have a cup of black coffee to reduce the swelling, or her face would be swollen when the first scene started shooting.Despite Shaun repeatedly insisting that she looked good even without makeup and could go to the movie set barefaced, Melody was not willing to slack off. Being a newcomer, she wanted to present herself in the most perfect way to everyone.She never thought she could become an actress, but she genuinely fell in love with acting. She enjoyed giving her all to portray another person. Standing in front of the camera, she could forget all the troubles—whether it was the pile of debts or emotional distress."Alright

Everyone was shooting at the same film studio. Whenever Stella—who claimed to be good friends with Melody—was free, she and her assistant would bring a bunch of things over and ask everyone to take good care of Melody.The same routine was happening on that particular day."Oh my, isn't Mintz a cafe only found in Chamery? Miss Stella actually brought us coffee from so far away?""It's just Mintz. I'm sure the manager will deliver the food and drinks to Miss Stella if she wants it," joked someone from the crowd.Stella walked up to Melody. She then leaned against her shoulder affectionately and smiled."Well… I've known the manager since our early years abroad. He sent it to me as an exception because he's my friend. If you have time, please go support Mintz. Consider it as supporting my friend!"Stella portrayed herself as approachable."Don't worry, Miss Stella. I'll definitely visit Mintz the next time I'm in Chamery!""Pfft, even the A-list celebrities have to wait in line t

The crew members who were standing at a distance whispered to each other."Why is it always Miss Stella buying things? Is Miss Stella doing it for her? Shouldn't Melody be paying for all that stuff?""Well, maybe she thinks we don't deserve to eat her food! Not everyone is as respectful and treats us well as Miss Stella.""But it's not right to always let a good friend spend money... That's really inconsiderate.""Tsk, tsk, tsk! Who can argue with that?"That was not the first time Stella had come over to Melody's film set. Every time, she would either bring coffee or smoothies along with high-end desserts. Her method of winning over people's hearts was quite appreciated by the crew members.Melody often heard the crew praising Stella, addressing her as 'Miss Stella' enthusiastically while not being as warm toward her, the female lead.Melody did not really care. For her, acting was ultimately just a job to earn money. Nonetheless, compared to other jobs, she did enjoy this one

'Why does it feel like she doesn't care after I've put in so much effort and money into provoking her? Does she not care at all about how others criticize her at all?' thought Stella.According to what she had heard, the crew members often complained privately that Melody lacked basic social skills.Ha! Stella understood the greed of those people the most. It was just that Melody had not allowed them to take advantage of her, so they spread gossip about her everywhere.Nonetheless, Melody's indifferent demeanor made Stella feel quite furious.'That b*tch only managed to get this job because of her connection with Lucas, so what gives her the right to act all haughty?'Suddenly, Stella's phone rang. She picked up the phone but did not answer immediately.The ringing irritated Melody, and she unconsciously raised her head. "Miss Stella, your phone is ringing. Aren't you going to answer?"Stella bit her lip, her gaze awkwardly shifting from the displayed name on her phone to Melody

Melody honestly told Shaun what she thought. Since joining the production team, she completed a few scenes. Every time, she thought she had touched the core of Athena, the female lead character's name in the movie, but the next scene would tell her otherwise."Athena...is a very complex character. I thought she was just a pure and ordinary high school girl, but these scenes told me otherwise. She's strong, imaginative, and courageous, so I believe she'll behave boldly when she meets a foreigner for the first time."Shaun laughed approvingly at Melody's serious analysis. "You've analyzed everything correctly, but think about it. Can't a lively and youthful high school girl be shy of meeting a foreigner for the first time? Shyness doesn't necessarily mean timidity, right?"Melody nodded thoughtfully. "So, when I'm acting...""Melody, follow your gut. You're the female lead, not me."Shaun's guidance opened Melody's mind. She realized that Athena was to be portrayed by her, and the c

"Why are you so afraid of her? It was her mistake in the first place, and I didn't say anything wrong. Honestly, people who keep making mistakes like this won't succeed. I can't help but wonder if Mister Shaun was drunk when he decided to cast her."Melody clenched her fists as she listened to the crew member go from complaining about being unable to find the script to blaming her for misplacing it and suggesting that Shaun must have been blind when choosing her.She was about to go up and defend herself when she heard someone exclaiming from the side, "Found it! I've found the script!"A crew member ran over and handed the script to Melody, saying, "It was over by the food. Maybe you left it there when you were getting something to eat."Melody was about to say she never went to the food table when she was interrupted by the disgruntled assistant."Well, I guess some people just don't have common sense. Us lowly assistants are made to clean up someone else's mess just because she

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
