Still, the heart wanted what it wanted. Athena could not remain indifferent to Dieter the moment when the flame of love ignited in her heart."Hailey, you're not me. You don't understand. I really like him... I haven't forgotten what we talked about, that we'd leave this small fishing village and explore the outside world. But he is also a part of the world I've come to know."Hailey, who had also put herself first, could not fathom what Athena, who was completely immersed in love, was thinking about."Ugh. It'd be better if you just straight up admit you've forgotten about our dreams. All for that nonsense love. You've already abandoned me, your best friend! Don't come crying to me when you're all miserable after getting dumped by him!" said Hailey angrily, and she walked away.In reality, Tracy could not walk away so easily. She inevitably stumbled in front of the camera. Her injured foot still had not fully healed, preventing her from putting full weight on it.Melody quickly s

"I… I know there have been rumors lately, saying that I'm becoming more popular than you, but these are things we as actresses can't control. There's no need to vent your frustration on me," Tracy said, wiping away a tear, looking quite pitiful.Coupled with her injury, many people were sympathetic to her flight."Oh, Miss Tracy. Please don't cry. Let me help you up first," Melody reached out to help her up, but Tracy pushed her hand away."Thank you, but I just want to make things clear with you, Miss Melody. So that you won't come to resent me or hate me…" Tracy said, trying to justify herself.Melody finally realized what was happening. 'This woman isn't as nice as she makes herself out to be! She's exactly like Stella!'Once again, due to her lack of vigilance, Melody found herself at the center of a storm.Melody quickly reacted, raising her defenses like a hedgehog. She took a couple of steps back, crossed her arms, and silently observed Tracy's performance."I don't resen

Melody rarely minced her words. Plus, she was already in a bad mood to begin with. Tracy kept on pushing her buttons, and Melody was at her wits' end.Out of consideration for everyone, Melody tolerated Tracy, only for the situation to worsen. It was not her fault, so why should she continue to give in?Shaun looked frustrated as well. He had advised Tracy not to push herself too hard, but she refused to listen to him."Alright, both of you, that's enough," said Shaun.Tracy looked aggrieved. "Mister Shaun, do you also think it's my fault like Melody does? I wouldn't have fallen to the ground if she hadn't let go. I'm healing, but it's worsened all over again. I got hurt two times because of her! Am I not even allowed to complain a little?"Tracy lowered her head and blinked a few times. Soon, tears started streaming down her face.Shaun became even more frustrated. What started as a small matter turned into a situation where Tracy made it seem like the entire cast and crew were

[Upcoming actress bullied by the entire crew! The inside scoop on Shaun's unique production team.]Similar headlines quickly went viral, claiming the top spot on trending lists. No one expected that someone would leak the production team's internal affairs online, let alone with such a sensational title.Many did not take it seriously, thinking it was just another case of paparazzi sneaking shots. However, within half an hour, social media users began to tag Shaun's account, demanding an explanation.Shaun quickly realized that the situation was getting out of control. When he clicked on the article, his anger intensified."What the heck? Who accused our production team of bullying?""Bullying? What's going on?"The sensitive term quickly caught the attention of other crew members on the set. Everyone tacitly stopped working and pulled out their phones to see what had happened.Tracy, of course, was not surprised. Her assistant had quietly informed her that the incident had blow

Melody was not the only one who was determined to find evidence. Even Shaun and the rest of the crew members could not sit still. After all, being publicly accused was not something fun."Tracy, I believe we need to reconsider your contract with the film," Shaun said, presenting a document with the producer by his side as they sat in front of Tracy."What do you mean, Mister Shaun? Are you firing me?" Tracy staggered back nervously.Shaun, fearing a repeat of the previous situation, even called in a close friend."I hadn't thought about it that way, but since you've brought it up, maybe I should go along with that," said Shaun.With so many actresses in the world, Tracy was not indispensable like Melody. With her being a troublemaker, Shaun could replace her whenever he wanted."No! You can't do this to me. Aren't you afraid I'll expose everything online?" Tracy protested.Shaun replied impatiently, "Tracy, I think you're overestimating your importance. I might not have a say in
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2213
Even though Tracy smeared the entire production team, she still refused to leave the crew. She knew that staying was the key to her career development, yet she had not considered that no one in the crew wanted her to stay.She was starting to regret her actions a bit since she inflicted damage upon herself in the process. No audience would watch the movie if the matter was not resolved to their satisfaction.After all, who would want to watch a movie made by a whole crew and cast of bullies? There were better ways for the audience to spend their hard-earned money."I don't understand how you women think! Do you think I'll still give you any more screen time if I let you stay? Aren't you afraid I'll cut you out entirely?" asked Shaun.Tracy responded with a smile. "I don't think you will because of your perfectionist tendency. It'll affect the plot and pacing of the entire movie if you cut me out!"Shaun and the producer stopped smiling. Tracy knew Shaun would second-guess himself.

"Given who Melody's husband is, does she really need this chump change from her role? She certainly won't be as serious as hardworking as me! I'm pretty sure everyone knows deep down that she doesn't even need the audience."Her family background is different from us ordinary actresses. Even if you elevate her to stardom, she'll still have to go home and give birth once the Riveras told her to. I bet she has no intention of staying in the industry for long."In this case, Tracy accidentally hit the mark with her assumptions.Melody indeed had no intention of permanently staying in the industry; she just wanted to act in roles that she liked. She might continue acting for a few more years if she came across a good script. Otherwise, she would rather quit early and find other work."If you don't agree, I'll have to resort to this. I heard there's a well-edited video by the reporters that hasn't been released yet! I..."Seeing Tracy getting ready to act impulsively, the producer quic

"You're not angry? Most people would be upset in this situation," Shaun remarked, surprised that Melody did not seem bothered."What's there to be angry about? I'm not the director or the writer of this movie. The fate of my screen time has always been in your hands, Mister Shaun."While it's true I'll be getting less screen time, it's not like you're firing me. If anything, I don't get why Tracy would make a demand like this. What benefit does it bring her? If I were her, I'd make you replace me."Shaun chuckled awkwardly, not expecting Melody to have a knack for dry humor."All right, since you don't mind, let's turn the page on this matter for now. We'll wait until she releases a video to clarify things, and that'll be the end of it," he said.Melody nodded, hoping to resume filming as soon as possible.Meanwhile, Lucas—who was in Molomia—had finally come across the news. His immediate reaction was to want to fly back to help Melody resolve the mess.'Shaun's production team

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
