Xyla’s assistant was stumped. “Then, let’s issue a warning letter.”“Calm down, Mindy. Just let him be,” Xyla said. She picked up a cup of fruit tea and took a sip. “There will be someone who’ll take care of him for us.”Since someone wanted to become her hero, she might as well give him a chance. Mindy was stunned. She did not know if she should believe in Xyla or not. After Xyla finished her fruit tea, she let out a burp. She then looked at Mindy and said, "Go buy another fruit tea for me. I want it to be cold. Then, put it in the car. The weather is awfully hot.”Just when Mindy went to do Xyla’s bidding, several actresses beside the female lead actor turned their heads around and cast their gazes on Xyla.Xyla was wearing a pair of sunglasses. She put the script under her head, and she was taking a nap. She did not rehearse with the female lead actors. One of the actresses couldn't hold herself back anymore and said, "We can let it pass at the fact that she joined the movie
“What? Let me take a look.”Several extras in the crew scrolled through Google Trends and ran into two huge pieces of news. Sure enough, the scheme backfired not long after the new article came out.#Nathan Hayes Slept With His Fans.##Nathan Hayes Used Xyla Mayweather as His Stepping Stone.#These two articles topped the trending chart in a matter of hours, pushing the new articles that talked about Xyla down the list. Many fans did not believe it at first, thinking that it was part of Xyla’s plan to whitewash herself by pushing the blame onto somebody else.However, an unknown netizen uploaded a video, which shocked all of Nathan’s fans.“My God! Nathan is actually such a person?”“I was a fan before this, and this just ruined my love for him!”The video showed Nathan hugging some women and kissing two female influencers in the clubhouse. And his hand was found placed on the body of one of the influencers. As for the source of the video recording, it seemed like a candid shot
‘It turns out that what she said is true. “Someone will resolve this matter on our behalf”!’Xyla turned off the screen of her phone and looked out the car window. “That rich boy.”‘That rich boy?’Mindy racked her brains and was flustered all of a sudden. “Is he the new investor in our film?”Xyla fiddled with the earrings. “Who else could it be apart from him?”Mindy frowned. “The rich boy is a foreigner, isn’t he? Does he have any ulterior motive? Or has he taken a fancy to you?”After what had happened with Nathan, Mindy did not dare to match Xyla up with anyone else. She had even started to think about being more cautious.Xyla smiled. “We’ve only made a deal with each other.”As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang. She answered the call after seeing that the caller ID that was blinking on the screen of her phone was “Rich Boy”.“What do you plan to do this time around? Are you planning to buy me dinner again?”Yorrick chuckled. “Ms. Mayweather, have you f
Yorrick pinched the foot of the glass, took a sniff at the aroma of the wine, and smiled. “You’re quite a wary person, Ms. Mayweather.”“I’m in an enclosed room with another man, so how can I not be a little more cautious?” Xyla changed her sitting posture casually and placed her legs on the couch. “I still don’t know your name, Mr. Rich Boy. After all, I have to accompany you and act around you in the coming three months. I have to know at least what your last name is.”He lifted the glass and glanced at her through the transparent glass. “My last name is Hathaway.”Xyla was astounded for a short moment. “This last name actually a thing in Zlokova?”“It seems that you don’t pay attention to the news, Ms. Mayweather.” Yorrick believed she really did not know his identity.‘If she were trying to play hard-to-get, it would be impossible for her to put such a question forward.’“I’m not interested in the news.” Xyla flipped through the contract. “Since I’ve signed the contract, it’s
“You!”A muffled laugh came from behind. Yorrick put down his wine glass, walked toward Xyla, and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Ms. Smalls, we’re about to go to bed already. Do you want to stay back and watch?”Xyla deliberately hid in his arms. “Honey, you naughty boy. How could you ask others to watch?”Yorrick pinched her chin and stared down at her bare face.Sweat beads rolled down from the sides of Jodie’s forehead.‘Are they planning to kiss in front of me?’Jodie’s eyes turned bloodshot due to the wrath burning within her chest. In the end, she bit her lip, turned her head away, and ran out of the room.It was also at this time that Xyla pushed Yorrick away from her, walked to the couch, and picked up her bag. “That should mark the end of tonight’s play. I should head back already—”“How are you so sure that she won’t be waiting at the door?” Yorrick interrupted her with a smirk.She stopped moving forward and looked back at him. “Then are you telling me that I’l
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.The dagger that was originally a prop stabbed right into Xyla’s right chest.The male lead was astonished, and his mind went blank instantly. “This…”Xyla lowered her head and took a glance at the wound, and a vague sense of pain originated from the stab.‘What the f*ck!? The dagger turns out to be the real deal!?’The director and the extras on the side did not notice anything out of the ordinary and did not stop the shooting.The male lead was about to draw out the dagger and yell to the director for help, but that was when Xyla grabbed the blade suddenly, gnashed her teeth, and uttered her line in difficulty, “Moses Miller, you actually have the balls to hurt me. You still ended up hurting me for that sl*t!”The male lead’s hands trembled a little.‘Unbelievable! She persevered after such an accident took place!’Seeing that she had moved on with her line, the male lead could only bite the bullet and continue. “Yes, if you dare to… If you
Xyla stared at the ceiling. “You can take it as a yes.”“I can take it as a yes.” Mindy looked a little confused. “What does that mean?”“It is what it is, literally.” Xyla did not want to explain too much, but she looked at Mindy when she thought of something. “By the way, how’s the crew doing with the investigation?”Mindy replied, “The crew is currently investigating the props. Generally speaking, the props bureau wouldn’t make such mistakes.”Mindy looked incredulous. “Moreover, the real props are only used as decorations. The props master just wouldn’t make such a mistake for the scene between you and Howard.”‘The fake props used by the crew usually look so real that they might get mixed up with the real items, so it’s inevitable to get them wrong if they’re not appropriately allocated. However, Howard's prop dagger in today’s scene is specially prepared, and it’s impossible for things to go wrong.‘Unless…’Mindy was shocked. “Could someone have replaced the fake prop wit
Mr. Mayweather turned his head and asked with a slightly puzzled expression, “May I know...”Xyla faltered. “He is… an investor of our crew. He must’ve come to pay me a visit.”Everything clicked for Mr. Mayweather in an instant.Yorrick nodded politely toward Mr. Mayweather. “Mr. Mayweather, it’s my honor to finally meet you.”Mr. Mayweather smiled politely and scrutinized him from head to toe. “You’re not from around here, aren’t you? I haven’t seen you in showbiz before this.”Yorrick grinned. “Yes, I’m indeed not a local.”Xyla was worried that Yorrick would be exposed and quickly suggested, “Dad, don’t you still have work to do? There’s no need for you to stay here with me as I have Mindy by my side. So go home first, and tell Mom I’m fine. I’ll be discharged after a few days’ rest.”Mr. Mayweather wanted to say something, but his daughter kept trying to drive him away, so what else could he say? He was already relieved after verifying that his daughter was safe and sound.
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
