Tears welled up in Gigi's eyes as she fully immersed herself in the role of Le Palais' protagonist, Catherine."They all once trusted you, considered you a friend, and even risked their lives for you! And now, look at what you've become!" Gigi was not holding back in this scene, unleashing her full power. 'They want me to go easy on Wyneth? Not a chance!' Gigi was determined to outshine Wyneth, embarrass her in front of everyone, and force her to flee in disgrace. Feeling triumphant, Gigi purposely chose this challenging scene.Matthew, watching from the monitor, furrowed his brow.Shaun, concerned for Wyneth, was about to speak when a clear, icy female voice cut through the air."Isn't it all thanks to you that I've become like this?"Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the voice.Compared to the emotional Gigi, Wyneth, who portrayed Lucienne, stood with a cool, emotionless expression, her eyes as frosty as a moonlit lake. She let out a derisive laugh. "You sought to d
Gigi's eyes smoldered with an intense unwillingness to accept defeat. She could not allow herself to be upstaged.'Wyneth is merely a supporting actress, and although stunningly beautiful, if her acting skills surpassed mine, then what would the future hold for me?' The more Gigi dwelled on it, the more panic rose within her. 'One more shot, just one more, and I can reclaim my status!'The room fell silent. Deep down, everyone knew Gigi was not sick—she had just been outshined by Wyneth. But no one dared to say anything when her brother was a major investor. So, everyone pretended to show concern for her."Gigi, if you're not feeling well, you really should head back and rest.""Yeah, don't overdo it."Hearing this, Gigi realized they were sidelining her. Just as she was about to protest, Matthew decisively waved his hand."Since Gigi isn't feeling well, let's wrap up today's rehearsal.""Matthew, I..."Keira held her back, and Gigi reluctantly bit her tongue. She managed to fo
"Who's the lead actress in 'Le Palais'?"'Le Palais's lead actress?' Dexter whipped out his phone to search, clueless about the Hamilton family's drama or Wyneth's plan to divorce Hayden. Upon discovering the leading actress's identity, he promptly informed Hayden."Mr. Hamilton, it's Gigi, Mr. Kane's sister."Dexter pondered Hayden's inquiry. 'Is he curious about the cast of Le Palais? Or concerned the leading actress might mistreat his wife? After all, his wife plays a villainess in the drama.'Hayden was surprised that Wyneth played a supporting role for Gigi after being humiliated at the Hamilton residence. 'Until the previous night, she might have been capable of such a thing. But since then, she has changed. Is it merely a coincidence?' he wondered, pocketing his phone. "Any other plans this afternoon?""We have a two-hour meeting, Mr. Hamilton. Should we visit your wife on set?" Dexter asked, his face alight with excitement. "We have plenty of time. Let's head to the set."
As Wyneth walked away with a straight face, Gigi was left fuming. 'That shameless woman!' she exclaimed to herself, her anger escalating. 'How can anyone be as shameless as Wyneth?'Her assistant reminded her in a hushed tone. "Gigi, let's go find Mr. Hamilton. We can't let Wyneth hold us up any longer."Gigi realized her priorities and nodded. 'Hayden is the most important thing right now. Once I become Hayden's wife, I'll find a chance to deal with Wyneth.' With that, she quickly gathered her skirts and rushed out.Hayden's sudden appearance on set was causing a stir among the crew, including Matthew. "Why is this big shot coming to the set?" someone whispered. "Did he invest in this production?"Matthew could not help but think of what happened last night at the hotel. 'How could it be? Is Mr. Hamilton really interested in Wyneth?'His thoughts were interrupted by a sweet, charming voice. "Hayden."He looked over to see Gigi approaching Hayden with a skip in her step and a pla
"Real ones don't beat around the bush. Where's Mr. Hamilton's wife?" Dexter's voice was low, barely audible.Matthew strained to hear him. "What?"Dexter was about to speak, but he felt a piercing gaze coming from behind him. The familiar sense of pressure crept up on him, and he immediately straightened his shoulders. "What I meant was, where's that newbie actress from last night?"Matthew furrowed his brow, searching his memory. "New actress?" he repeated. And then, in a flash of insight, he exclaimed, "Oh, you mean Wyneth?"'Isn't he here to visit Gigi?' Matthew wondered. 'Why is he asking about Wyneth now?'As Matthew finished his sentence, he sensed a slight relief from the intense pressure that had been suffocating him. It seemed like he had given the right answer. "Bad timing, guys. Wyneth just left after signing her contract," Matthew said bluntly. 'I remember when Wyneth left, she even said to me that she was leaving. So, it must be true, right?'"Left?" Dexter's eyes wi
Gigi blabbered on the phone about Hayden dropping by her workplace. Jake could not believe it. After all, he had known Hayden for years and had never seen him be the type to visit someone at work. And Gigi was not exactly Hayden's type either. It turned out that Hayden was there to look for Wyneth.Jake prodded. "Did you get turned down? She didn't want to see you? Is that why you're seeking my help?"He recalled the strange tension between Hayden and Gigi the night before, but he did not expect it to escalate this quickly. He leaned closer to Hayden and asked inquisitively, "So, does the chick not want to talk to you now?"Hayden's icy glare sent chills down Jake's spine. "Did you just call her a chick?"Jake shrugged nonchalantly. "What's wrong with that? She's young. Can't I call her that? You're too uptight."Jake did not want to annoy Hayden any further. "Alright, I'll help you out this time. I'll gather the entire cast and crew for dinner tonight, even the extras. I guarante
The mere thought of those vivid images made Wyneth's skin crawl, as a wave of spine-tingling goosebumps washed over her with an unsettling intensity. 'Divorcing with such resolve, only to be reduced to my former self by a single drink – could I still hold my head high in front of Hayden?' She now felt more humiliated than a groveling lapdog.Wyneth covered her forehead with the script and lay back on the bed. Her phone rang, and she picked it up, placing the script beside her. "Shaun.""Wyneth, how's your progress on memorizing the script? Mr. Kane is inviting the entire crew to dinner at the hotel tonight. I'll come to pick you up later."'Hotel? Not again!' Wyneth refused coolly and nobly. "I need to study the script. I won't go.""The script can wait until tomorrow. Doesn't the director give you a few days off? Mr. Kane has invited the entire crew, and everyone has to show up," Shaun said, his tone serious."Everyone has to show up?""Yes, even the extras will be there."Wyne
Shaun arrived right on time to pick Wyneth up, but he was utterly spellbound when he saw her. Dressed in a red skirt with high heels, her alluring, captivating figure left him breathless. He knew Wyneth was gorgeous, but he had no idea her beauty was this extraordinary – a refined, unapproachable, and icy elegance. One more glance, and he felt undeserving.Trying to regain his composure, Shaun unexpectedly gave himself a light slap on the mouth. 'Pull yourself together! As a manager, I've seen countless beauties in the entertainment industry!'Wyneth tapped on the car window and then climbed into the car.As they sat close together, her beauty became even more overwhelming for Shaun. "Wyneth, I'm starting to worry."She cast a sideways glance, her striking eyes floating toward him, her red lips parting. "About what?""Your stunning appearance."Wyneth blinked, fixing her gaze on Shaun as if to say, 'That's it?'"A supporting actress being more beautiful than the lead can be a se
