Christopher wore an expression of sheer disbelief. They had only stepped out for a casual stroll, yet somehow,

they had managed to completely overshadow the first group of guests who had arrived earlier.

Upon Evian's return, everyone's curiosity piqued, though they knew better than to delve too. deeply into a

patient's private affairs. Yet, their intrigue couldn't be fully contained.

Evian had little she could share without breaching confidentiality. "She's a pitiful soul, really. Since her admission,

she's been utterly alone. It's rumored that her parents are deceased, and her husband... well..." Selena,

concerned, asked, "Didn't she discuss her health condition with her husband?"

Evian shook her head somberly. "She tried once, but he refused to believe her. He

accused her of fabricating her illness out of jealousy, despising her for supposedly cursing her own body.

Eventually, she concluded that a husband who doubted her didn't deserve the truth."

It's a terminal illness, and her days are numbered. Why gamble on the regret her husband might feel once he

discovered the truth? Isn't that just foolishly toying with her own life?

Although Evian chose to remain silent, Isabella unintentionally let slip sdetails that unsettled. the Quirks

further.

Evian finally voiced her frustration, "She simply won't cooperate with the treatment. Even though her condition

might be manageable with treatment, she seems to have given up hope."

"Nothing is more wretched than apathy," Selena remarked sadly, shaking her head.

A wave criticisms from the Quirks followed.

days later, the crew prepared to film the promotional video for My Acting Skill ahead of schedule. Rumor had it

"Right? I also think it's gorgeous," Isabella beamed, her smile even brighter.

Christopher, who was already in the minivan, felt a sudden chill and tugged at Hayden's sleeve. "Always stay

alert in social settings," he cautioned.

Hayden, puzzled, inquired, "Why?"

Christopher patted Hayden's shoulder subtly. He and Isabella weren't bothered about possibly offending others;

it was unfortunate that Hayden would have to bear the brunt of it.

Hayden laughed it off. "Are you concerned that Isabella might not know how to handle herself in

conversation and accidentally offend someone? Don't worry. I've analyzed it. She might lack finesse in social

pretenses, but her genuine kindness and appealing looks make her a favorite. As the industry's rookie with no

prior conflicts, she's likely to be well- received both on and off

camera.

Christopher chuckled dryly and fell silent.

Hayden, still unsure, glanced at Isabella who was already busily sharing gossip she had discovered on her mobile

phone with Thalia.

Well... aside from sharmless chatter, there's really not much to be concerned about.

Upon their arrival at the film building, the director, Taylor Carrey, and producer, Riley Briggs, personally

welcomed them, a gesture that did not surprise Isabella since Alexander had revealed his identity to these

individuals beforehand. He greeted them warmly, his demeand The two were relieved to see that he didn't seem

like a troublemaker. Their only concern was if he held a significant position and chose not to cooperate or

enjoyed complicating matters, which could make managing the show challenging.

"Today, we're scheduled for a set of photos and sbrief individual and group interviews," Riley explained

before directing everyone to the makeup room.

The makeup room was a shared space for all five groups, designed to avoid any favoritism. It was spacious and

well-

equipped, with partitions providing everyone a bit of privacy. This setup allowed multiple artists to work

simultaneously without anyone feeling neglected, even if cinema royalty were present.

The production team found this arrangement more convenient for relaying information. Taylor also hoped it

would encourage everyone to mingle and becacquainted faster, casing any awkwardness during the live

broadcasts.

As people arrived at different times, Isabella and Christopher walked in to find three groups already there.

Hayden immediately mingled with the crowd, his sociable nature allowing him to navigate the room effortlessly.

Isabella, dragged along, greeted everyone they met. The flurry of introductions was so intense that Hayden

barely managed to connect each face with their respe Glancing around, Isabella's eyes sparkled. To her, it

seemed as if everyone had a juicy secret just ripe for the picking.

Before she could dive into the unfolding , she overheard someone mention, "Only Mr. Sawyer and Jennie's

team hasn't arrived yet."

"Didn't you see the marketing message that just went out?"

Someone in the know laughed, "I bet they'll be late."

Indeed, whispers of the William's secret marriage had circulated, yet with the scandal escalating,

doubts about the truth of the Tage grew. How could his spouse remain so silent amidst such

controversy? William should at least take a page from those experienced actors; their spouses were always right

beside them.

He rushed over to Jennie's residential area in the dead of night and wasn't spotted leaving ever since. He's sure

Seated off to the side, Christopher was in the midst of selecting a hairstyle when a piece of gossip. caught his

attention, straightening him up in his chair. He found himself irresistibly drawn into the unfolding scandal.

A thunderstorm had knocked out power in the upscale neighborhood where Jennie lived, and afraid of the dark,

she had called William for help. Is William ssort of candle? Does he know that while he's been keeping a

certain somebody company, his wife's putting up w the adverse reaction of her treatment all by herself?

Initially, Christopher had respected William, viewing him as a dedicated and professional individual. Now,

however, disdain was all he felt, and he wanted nothing more than to scoff at the man's apparent neglect.

As he was lost in these thoughts, another group entered, likely the staff for the William's team. He noted that

William and Jennic were not among them.

Hayden and the female manager of the male idol in the medieval fantasy were quick to engage. They

approached William's manager, expressing polite concern for the actor who had yet.

"All right, let's start preparing. Those two will arrive shortly after us," Connor announced, and everyone seemed

to understand that the pair had decided to travel separately from the rest.

It was surprising that Connor was so blatant about pairing them together, seemingly oblivious to the

implications. This wasn't just the actor's unilateral, willful behavior; Connor too seemed to lack a vision for the

bigger picture.

Hayden and the female manager were well aware of William's secret marriage, exchanging knowing looks that

conveyed their perception of the other's naivety.

Despite being a veteran manager who had managed an award-

winning actor, their current arrogance and ignorance seemed bound to lead to their downfall. At the top, it's

lonely, and by giving the public such leverage, they were setting themselves up for a fall. It would take mere

From across the makeup room, where their team was positioned, snippets of conversation floated over from the

makeup artists.

Christopher's mouth twitched involuntarily at the dedication and harshness of Jennie toward herself.

Meanwhile, Isabella leaned toward Thalia beside her, whispering, "Cooperate withlater." Thalia's expression

morphed from bewilderment to a sly understanding. Christopher couldn't shake a growing unease, thinking, Why

do | have this bad feeling about this?

As the room buzzed with casual chatter and the business of styling, a surge of gossip suddenly quieted

everyone. Attention turned toward Isabella.

"| snatched the dress on purpose," she declared.

"Why is that?" Thalia queried.

"Because the two people fighting over it were the mistress and the wife."

"Seriously?"

"Actually, this is how it was back then..."

"Huh? What? Oh my goodness! Ms. Jeannet, you're playing the role of a vigilante, aren't you?" Thalia exclaimed.

Unbeknownst to Isabella, her conversation had struck a chord with a female actress known for scandalous roles

as a mistress in their circle, who now felt personally criticized, causing her to turn her head in their direction. The

Once Isabella finished her tale, the lively buzz resumed in the room, treating the story as nothing more than

trivial gossip. Even Hayden didn't inquire further about the specifics.
