"I'm sorry, too! I swear, I won't do anything like this ever again. Just let us off this time, please?" Melanie pleaded desperately.Anne narrowed her eyes. "I've already given you more chances than you deserve. You brought this on yourselves."Before long, the police arrived. After listening to Lauren's testimony and reviewing the security footage, they took Sophia and the others down to the station.As soon as they left, Anne immediately called Jenny, asking how to leak the news about Sophia and the others getting arrested.After hearing what happened, Jenny exploded in anger. She cursed them out before telling Anne not to worry. She had a way to handle it.After the call ended, Lauren brought over a chicken pot pie. "Ms. Stafford, why don't you stay on the island a few more days? There's plenty to see and do here."Anne thanked her before shaking her head. "I've already caused enough trouble for you. I should head back.""Trouble? Not at all! We'll be family soon, anyway.""

Zachery stared at her with a grim expression, as if convinced she wouldn't dare say anything further.Meanwhile, Sophia tugged on Carol's arm. "Zachery and I are getting married. She just can't accept it. That's all. Let's just ignore her."Anne nodded. Oh, they brought this on themselves."You keep calling it your grandson, but are you sure it's even Zachery's?"The words dropped like a bomb."Shut your mouth, Anne!" Zachery roared.Sophia's face went pale before she snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting?"Carol's eyes widened in shock. "How dare you spread such lies!"Anne raised an eyebrow. "Don't you go online? You really don't know about her and Sean?""I said shut up!" Zachery bellowed, veins popping in his forehead."Y-You're slandering me!" Sophia burst into tears. "You're going too far!""Come out here! I'm going to tear that mouth of yours apart!" Carol shrieked."Oh, ganging up on her now, are we?" Jenny casually pulled out her phone and started recording. "Ho

Team B was stationed close to Team C. Before long, some of them started wandering over for Anne's drink.No one knew who started it, but soon enough, the whole production felt less like a film set and more like a big social gathering. Since it didn't interfere with work efficiency, the directors chose to turn a blind eye."I only asked you to be my assistant because I was scared." Jenny leaned in to chat with Anne."Scared?" Anne glanced at her while filling up a drink dispenser."Before I got married, I worked on a film set where a high-profile actress loved picking on newcomers. Unfortunately, I became one of her targets.""You? With your personality?" Anne was surprised.Jenny explained, "She had connections, and she played dirty. I was so miserable that I didn't even have the energy to fight back. That experience made me want to quit acting altogether."That's why I left the industry after that project and got married instead. So, coming back to a new set this time, I was te

At Melanie's words, the actors and staff who had come over for drinks quickly put their cups down. Some, who had even brought thermoses, immediately poured the contents out.Anne stood there, surrounded by curious eyes and whispers, feeling as though she was being put on trial."Do you stand by what you said?"The voice came from behind her. Anne turned and saw Amelie walking toward her with a cold expression.Amelie wore a pale yellow brocade gown embroidered with intricate cloud patterns. Her hair and makeup were perfectly done, giving her an air of refined elegance, like a noblewoman from a bygone era.Over her outfit, she wore a black cashmere coat. With a cup in one hand, she exuded the commanding presence of a powerful woman.She strode right up to Anne, but her eyes were fixed on Melanie the entire time."M-Ms. Stone, you're here." Melanie quickly put on a smile."I'll ask you again. Do you stand by what you said?" Amelie's voice was icy."W-What did I say?" Melanie stu

"Liam may have a bad reputation, but that doesn't mean people can spread lies about him," Amelie said.So, it was all for Liam. Anne realized she might have been overthinking things."Would you mind treating me to a drink?" Amelie asked, holding up her cup with an expectant smile."Of course."Anne noticed Amelie had dark circles under her eyes. She asked if she had trouble sleeping."Yes. I always have a hard time falling asleep. The slightest noise wakes me up, and then, I can't fall back asleep," Amelie said, rubbing her forehead.She would get headaches from the lack of rest. "When I was younger, my schedule for shooting was all over the place, and my sleep was never regular. Even though I'm not filming anymore, my body never really adjusted."Anne poured her a cup of herbal tea. "I've added some herbs to this tea. Give it a try."Amelie took a sip. The herbal taste was strong, but it was surprisingly pleasant."This is really good! Can you give me some tea bags to take ho

Anne continued as Jenny's assistant for a few more days until Eclipse Entertainment finally arranged for someone else to take over, so Anne no longer had to go.It was perfect timing, as she needed to start preparing for her wedding."My family has already started the preparations, and I should be heading back in about half a month. Once I'm back, we can arrange a meeting between both families. Is that okay?" Harvey sent her a message.Anne immediately agreed. She felt a little nervous just thinking about the meeting."By the way, the wedding dress is ready. If you have time tomorrow, you can try it on at the bridal shop.""Okay," Anne replied."Sorry. I can't go with you.""It's okay."The next day, Anne arrived at the bridal shop following the address Harvey had sent her. As soon as she stepped inside, Claudia Howell, the store assistant greeted her warmly. After Anne gave her name, Claudia's enthusiasm only increased."Ms. Stafford, we've been waiting for you. The custom dr

"It really is a coincidence," Anne said flatly.Suddenly, Zachery said, "Anne, I've been thinking a lot lately.""Like what?"Zachery paused for a moment. "I can let go of the past and take you back. I can spoil you like before, as long as you don't expect me to marry you."Anne laughed. "So, you're planning to marry Sophia and keep a mistress on the side?""It can only be you.""Oh, what an honor! But I feel bad for Sophia. Aren't you supposed to love her to the core? And yet, you're already thinking about keeping a mistress before marrying her. Your love is really cheap, isn't it?""I'm giving you another chance, Anne!" he spoke through gritted teeth."No, thanks. I'm not cut out for the role."Just then, Sophia came out of the fitting room. Claudia tried to lead her to another mirror, but she insisted on coming over to Anne."Zachery, do you think I look good in this wedding dress?" She didn't look at the mirror. Instead, she looked straight at Zachery.Zachery smiled. "Y

Zachery actually had the audacity to say that.Anne didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. With her hands in her pockets, she stood there speechless for a while before nodding and asking, "I can give it to her, but tell me. Why should I?"Zachery ran a hand through his hair. "Anne, I know you can't let go of our eight years together. You resent me for leaving you, and you hate Sophia for taking me away. But I've told you before. Even after I marry Sophia, you can still stay by my side. You don't have to do this.""Stop!" She couldn't listen anymore. "I'm getting married, Zachery. On the same day as your wedding. How many times do I have to say it before you believe me?"He let out a scoff. "You sound ridiculous."She took a deep breath. "So? Can you give me a valid reason why I have to give her this dress? If not, step aside. I'm leaving.""Sophia wants it, and I give her everything she wants.""That's not a justification for stealing from others.""How much do you want? I'

Chapter 59

It wasn't really a coincidence. Windleton only had so many castle-style wedding venues, and this was the best of them.As Anne stepped inside, she realized the estate actually had two castles. One was directly across from the main entrance, while the other was set off to the side. The one facing the main entrance was more grand and magnificent.Just from a glance, she could tell that holding a wedding in each castle had to come with very different price tags.Harvey had booked the more magnificent one at the front. As they walked toward it, Anne spotted another planner leading Zachery and Sophia out.Anne ducked her head and moved behind Sarah, using her as cover. Because of this, Zachery and Sophia didn't notice her as they headed toward the smaller castle.Inside the grand castle, the first thing that caught Anne's eye was a vast chapel, perfect for the ceremony. Behind it was a banquet hall, which could host the reception indoors or on the outdoor lawn. The second floor had g

The same staff member quickly approached and whispered something to Sarah before turning to Anne."Ms. Stafford, Mr. Judd and Ms. Weaver would like to meet with you to discuss something."Anne raised an eyebrow. "Discuss what?""Uh… They're hoping you'd be willing to let them have this venue."Anne frowned and glanced at Sarah.Sarah took a deep breath before answering, "Mr. Stone just bought the entire estate."Anne's eyes widened. Harvey bought this place?"That couldn't be possible. This was an entire estate. And Harvey had just purchased it because she said she liked it?Still struggling to believe it, she turned to Walter.Walter smiled. "There's no need to feel pressured, Ms. Stafford. Mr. Stone is a seasoned investor with numerous properties under his name. Of course, the main reason he bought this was because you liked it. But rest assured. With his business acumen, this won't be a loss for him."Anne let out a long breath. Maybe it was time she took a deeper look int
