Chapter 63

In fact, that’s indeed the case.

After hearing what Katie Adams said, Simone Miltonhad laughed.

“You’re talking to me about those scenes we rehearsed earlier? If that’s what you mean, then I really need to discuss it thoroughly with you!” Simone Milton said, wearing a confident smile on her face.

She really wanted to hear what else Katie Adams might have to say as nonsense.

Without going into other aspects, when it comes to acting together, she certainly didn’t let Katie Adams down at all. No matter what Katie Adams said, she was always in the right.

“Wasn’t it you who asked me to help you with your acting scenes? And it was you who pretended to be submissive, causing the director to think I was bullying you, right? And it was also I who strongly recommended Senior Zhou to you, whose acting skills are excellent, wasn’t that so?” Simone Milton narrowed her eyes and bombarded Katie Adams with questions.

“Yes… but…” Katie Adams reluctantly admitted these three points, then quickly tried to add details, hoping the young actor would misunderstand.

Unfortunately, before she could say anything else, Simone Milton interrupted her once again.

“There’s nothing else to say, but I’m glad you’ve admitted this! It proves that you do have some basic qualities after all!” Simone Milton said these words with an unmistakable tone of sarcasm.

Katie Adams picked up the sarcasm in his voice. She was a little angry, but more worried.

If all the misunderstandings here are cleared up, then it goes without saying that this young actress certainly won’t help her again in the future.

This means that her reputation is likely to decline once again.

After planning so hard for so long, if her efforts weren’t completely successful, failure was inevitable. There’s no way she could be happy about that.

Every time she tried to explain herself, Simone Milton would interrupt her, preventing her from fully expressing her thoughts.

“Why do you have to mock me like this… You clearly know…” Katie Adams said these words in a hurry, trying to turn the situation around.

“Oh, so you can actually tell that I’m mocking you after all. Not bad! It seems your ears are still working fine after all!” Simone Milton said cheerfully.

Katie Adams was furious. She wanted to leave right away with the young actor with her, but unfortunately, the young actor struggled to stay behind.

“What exactly do you want to say… Are you trying to claim that Katie Adams is wronging you? What you say makes sense, but there’s no evidence to support it…”

The little actor now has no idea what he’s actually saying.

In reality, the reason she stayed here was mainly to prove that her judgment was correct—that Katie Adams was indeed a trustworthy person.

If Katie Adams really is that kind of despicable person, she doesn’t know what to do in order to face both Katie Adams and herself.

“Stop talking already…” Hearing these illogical words from the young actress, Katie Adams realized that the girl must now doubt her.

If things continue like this, it’ll actually be detrimental to her. So once again, she tries to interrupt the young actor.

“I have no evidence? Ha, that’s strange. So, does your prejudice against me not count as evidence? Didn’t she just spread lies about me and twist the truth? You really have a funny way of speaking!” Upon hearing this, Simone Milton couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

And her sharp, incisive words made the young actor’s expression even more unpleasant.

Yes, everything Simone Milton said is true.

It was precisely for this reason that the young actress found it even harder to accept the situation. She glanced at Katie Adams beside her, and it took her a long time before she could force herself to accept the truth.

“I… I’m sorry… I think I misunderstood you. I hope you won’t take it to heart…” The young actor lowered his head, his voice filled with disappointment.

Seeing that the young actor finally admitted his mistake, Simone Milton wasn’t so persistent anymore. She nodded generously and forgave the young actor.

“Since you’ve realized your mistake, in the future, try not to be deceived by appearances. I hope you’ll have a good future ahead of you!” Simone Milton said, in a fairly kind manner.

“Thank you, thank you for forgiving me…” The young actress thanked her earnestly. After apologizing, she glanced at Katie Adams beside her and sighed.

“Xiao Li…” Seeing the young actor’s expression like that, Katie Adams felt uneasy. Could this guy possibly stab her in the back?

The young actor took a deep breath, as if preparing herself mentally. Then, she slowly said to Katie Adams, “I’ll tell everyone what happened today. I’ll even help set the record straight regarding the false rumors that I’ve spread over these days…”

“No, those are all the truth…” Upon hearing that the young actress wanted to ruin her carefully planned scheme, Simone Milton immediately tried to persuade her otherwise.

Hearing this, the little actor laughed even more unpleasantly:

“At this point in time, do you still insist that those words are true? As she said, if helping you and introducing you to experienced actors who can teach you is considered ‘excluding’ you, then those of us who can’t offer you much help are probably just ignoring you…”

At this point, the young actress couldn’t help but wonder if Katie Adams had given her some kind of hallucinogen.

Otherwise, if it’s such a simple truth, why hadn’t she realized it before?

“No… you can’t do this!” Katie Adams wanted to say something else, but the little actress paid no attention to her and simply left.

Watching the little actor leave without hesitation, Katie Adams was so angry that she trembled all over.

In the end, she vented all her anger on Simone Milton, who was smiling smugly.

“Simone Milton, oh Simone Milton! Isn’t this exactly the scene you always wanted to see? Now you’re happy, aren’t you? Everything has gone exactly as you wished. Are you satisfied now?”

After yet another failed attempt at framing someone, and getting caught in the process, Katie Adams yelled loudly at Simone Milton.

At this moment, she was like a dog that had lost its home. All she could do was bark helplessly like that.

Hearing this, Simone Milton shook her head helplessly:

“I really don’t like hearing what you say. If you weren’t speaking ill of me behind my back and if you didn’t have malicious intentions, would I have to slap you like this? After all, you deserve it for being abandoned and even having your face lost in public!”

She felt she should take back her previous compliments about Katie Adams. The current Katie Adams is simply not mature at all.

It seems like the seemingly mature Katie Adams has only learned to pretend. Deep down, she’s still just as naive.

This woman still thinks that everything should go her way.

So it was only when Simone Milton reacted in a way different from what Katie Adams expected that Katie Adams became so angry.

“Do as you please. I suppose after this, your reputation won’t get any better! No, in fact, it’ll only get worse…” Simone Milton said, sighing.

Finally, she touched her chin and said uncertainly, “I guess you’ve gotten used to it by now?”

“You… you’re mocking me!” Katie Adams was furious to hear Simone Milton say that. But there was nothing she could do about Simone Milton.

Simone Milton shrugged her shoulders, looked at Katie Adams helplessly, and replied in a pretentious manner, “Well, you’re not entirely wrong in what you say. But you have to admit that what I said is also true!”

After saying all that, she thought for a moment. As if she suddenly remembered something, she waved at Katie Adams and left the place.

Such a calm demeanor really made Katie Adams grind her teeth with frustration. But at this point, she couldn’t think about anything else.

What she cared about more was how to calm the young actor down. She absolutely couldn’t let the young actor go out and try to clarify the situation.

For her, it would be a disaster. It would ruin all the efforts she’s made to “clean her name” so far, leading to complete collapse.

With such thoughts in mind, Katie Adams quickly found the young actor.

However, at this point, the young actor was already clarifying the statements he had made earlier with the other members of the crew.

“…Good heavens, I never thought she was such a person!” said a crew member who was talking with the young actress, feeling disgusted.

The young actress was also very embarrassed. She covered her face and said, “The most tragic thing is that I never realized before how I’d been manipulated all along! If it hadn’t been pointed out to me… maybe I really am too stupid.”

“Please, this has nothing to do with you… We all know it’s not your fault…” Seeing the little actor in such pain, the staff member spoke gently to comfort her.

“Hey, Xiao Li…” Katie Adams, feeling something wasn’t right, forced down her uneasy feelings and stepped outside. “What are you guys talking about?”

Although she already had her suspicions, she refused to admit them. The young actress actually clarified what she had said earlier.

Hearing Katie Adams ask such a blatantly rhetorical question, the young actress was furious:

“What am I even saying? Shouldn’t you know very well? Is it fun to deceive people? Is it fun to twist the truth? Heh… I suppose it must be extremely amusing to you! You also claim that Simone Milton is being arrogant and bullying you. That’s completely nonsense!”

Today, even if it means offending Katie Adams and having to leave this circle forever, she must tell the truth anyway.

At least this way, her conscience can be at peace.

Seeing that the young actor was determined to expose her, Katie Adams took a deep breath. She couldn’t let the situation get any worse.

So, with no other choice, she shouted loudly, “Yes, it’s all my doing. I spread those rumors on purpose. But all I wanted was for everyone’s attention to be on me! What’s wrong with that?”

Seeing how confident Katie Adams was, the young actress was completely disappointed and left the place right away.

Once again ignored, Katie Adams was so angry that she couldn’t even maintain a calm expression on her face.

“Damn it, damn it! Again!” At this moment, Katie Adams seemed to be unable to do anything other than shout in frustration.

After that, Katie Adams’ reputation, which had already begun to improve, declined once again.

Everyone on the set always has a subtle expression when Katie Adams is mentioned.

They even thought that Katie Adams’ presence really ruined everyone’s mood.

Although the staff and actors in the crew never reveal their true thoughts on the surface.

But their lack of any obvious attempts to hide their feelings fully reveals their attitude.

It can be said that for a while, Katie Adams had a difficult time working on the set.

This really has to do with her own way of handling things. She can’t blame anyone else for it.

Every time Katie Adams saw everyone gathered around Simone Milton, laughing and joking around, she felt jealous.

It’s she who deserves to be adored by everyone.

Katie Adams, who felt extremely upset inside, was desperate to share her feelings with someone. But nowadays, there were very few people left who could listen to her.

It was at this moment that Katie Adams finally remembered Jeremy Arthur, someone she hadn’t thought of in ages.

In a way, Jeremy Arthur was indeed her most loyal listener. More importantly, the two of them were on the same side.

There shouldn’t be any changes in this regard.

With these thoughts in mind, after a tiring day on the set and being treated rudely by Katie Adams, I finally dialed that number I hadn’t called in ages.

As usual, Jeremy Arthur on the other end of the line answered the call immediately this time as well.

However, before Katie Adams could express her sadness, Jeremy Arthur on the other end of the line started talking non-stop.

“Katie Adams, you finally called me! Do you have any idea how sad I’ve been during this time…” Jeremy Arthur became increasingly emotional, even crying.

During this time, she really found it unbearable. She tried several times to call Katie Adams, but she couldn’t get through.

Before long, I heard again about Katie Adams and her divorce from her brother. I originally wanted to find out what exactly was going on with Katie Adams.

But the result was obvious: she still couldn’t get through to Katie Adams. There was no way of finding out what had actually happened that led to all this.

Most importantly, the Arthur family has explicitly forbidden any contact between her and Katie Adams.

“…My brother said that Sister Katie Adams is extremely vicious and even schemes against him. That can’t be true, right?” As he spoke, Jeremy Arthur brought up the question that concerned him most.

When Jeremy Arthur heard his brother repeatedly say that Katie Adams was approaching him only to exploit him, and that she didn’t really feel anything for him at all, he was completely shocked.

In her impression, Katie Adams wasn’t that kind of person at all. Jeremy Arthur seemed to think otherwise. Could there be some misunderstanding that nobody’s aware of?

On the other end of the line, Katie Adams remained silent for a moment after hearing Jeremy Arthur’s question to her. She was thinking about how to respond.

Before she could figure out what the best response would be, she heard Jeremy Arthur talking to himself on the other end of the line.

“I’m sure that’s not true at all, Katie Adams. I know you too well. You’re such a kind person—how could you ever use others for your own gain? It must be my brother who’s been misled by Simone Milton and the others, right?” Jeremy Arthur had already come up with a whole series of explanations in his mind.

She urgently asked Katie Adams, trying to get a definite answer from her.

Katie Adams heard this, and with Jeremy giving her such a thoughtful reason, how could she not use the ladder to go down?

Katie Adams, who quickly figured out what to do, put on a serious expression and said in a disappointed voice:

“Yes, you’re right… I didn’t expect you to notice. It’s a pity that Alberta simply doesn’t believe me at all!”

Hearing Katie Adams’s distressed voice, Jeremy Arthur felt his heart break. He immediately encouraged Katie Adams, trying to lift her spirits.

It was so easy to pacify Jeremy Arthur like that. Katie Adams was very happy, but she wouldn’t show it.

After calming Jeremy Arthur down, she began her own rant. Lying on the hotel bed, Katie Adams sighed.

“Katie Adams, what’s wrong? Have you been okay lately?” It seemed that Jeremy Arthur finally remembered he should ask about Katie Adams’ well-being, and he immediately spoke up to inquire.

Seeing that Jeremy Arthur had understood what she meant, Katie Adams subtly curled her lips into a smile, though her voice remained sad.

“I’ve been really troubled lately… As you know, because of what happened before, things are terrible for me right now. I finally managed to get into the cast, but then I ran into Simone Milton…”

At this point, Katie Adams deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for Jeremy Arthur to say something angry.

“Oh, that’s truly tragic! She really seems to never give up. Is there anything I can do to help you?” Jeremy Arthur immediately asked.

Katie Adams took the opportunity to speak up: “It’s already great that you’re willing to listen to me. You know, the winner right now is Simone Milton. She’s really smug around the set… I’ve had enough of being pushed aside like this. But there’s nothing I can do. I can’t afford to lose this job!”

What she said was really well-phrased.

First, she marveled at how wonderful it was to have Jeremy Arthur as someone who would listen to her. Then, she said that she couldn’t afford to lose the role she currently holds.

It fully tapped into all of Jeremy Arthur’s emotions, perfectly controlling the direction of his emotions.

You know, actually, controlling such idiots isn’t easy at all.

But what Katie Adams was most proud of was that such a fool was actually under her control.

Sure enough, Jeremy Arthur on the other end of the phone, upon hearing that Katie Adams had been bullied, immediately asked what he could do to help her.

“I really want to help you, please don’t reject my request, Sister Katie Adams…” Jeremy Arthur spoke these words with sincere earnestness.

Just as Katie Adams was about to make her request, she suddenly heard the phone ring. There were strange noises coming from the other end of the line. Then Jeremy Arthur shouted, “Give it back to me!”

Immediately afterwards, Alberta Arthur’s voice came through the phone: “Katie Adams, I can’t believe you have such audacity. Should I warn you not to get any closer to my sister?”

“Alberta…” Hearing this familiar voice, Katie Adams was momentarily speechless, not knowing quite what to say.

Katie Adams didn’t know what to say, but Alberta Arthur on the other end knew exactly what she wanted to say.

“Enough! I have no idea what you really want to do, but I can tell you clearly: never come near my sister again! I’ll keep an eye on you at all times. You won’t get the chance to exploit my sister. Just wait and see!” Alberta Arthur said these words viciously.

Ever since what Jeremy Arthur did was discovered, the Arthur family finally realized something was wrong with Jeremy. Alberta Arthur even believed that Jeremy had been influenced by bad people.

If it weren’t for Katie Adams ruining Jeremy Arthur, Jeremy Arthur would never have turned out like this.

So, currently, Alberta Arthur really dislikes Katie Adams.

Katie Adams felt deeply hurt. She tried to establish a relationship with Alberta Arthur, but Alberta Arthur quickly hung up the phone before she could do so.

Jeremy Arthur, who had been hung up on, saw that Alberta Arthur had no intention of returning his phone. He immediately stood in front of Alberta Arthur, furious.

“Bro, you can’t do this. You have to give me your phone! Sister Katie Adams needs my help!” Jeremy Arthur tried to reason with Alberta Arthur.

Albert Arthur simply didn’t want to pay any attention to Jeremy Arthur at all.

He put Jeremy Arthur’s phone in his own pocket and said, expressionlessly:

“No, I won’t give you my phone. I’ve already told you before that Katie Adams is a dishonest person. You shouldn’t have much contact with her. Did you forget what I said?”

“That’s not true at all! You’ve completely misunderstood her!” Jeremy Arthur tried to defend her, but Alberta Arthur wouldn’t listen at all.

Albert Arthur glanced at the stubborn Jeremy Arthur, shrugged his shoulders, and left Jeremy Arthur’s room.

He thought to himself: Perhaps he should discuss in detail with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur how to properly educate Jeremy Arthur.

After that, it became difficult for Katie Adams to get in touch with Jeremy Arthur again, as one would expect.

After all, the Arthur family’s determination is quite clear: they certainly don’t want Katie Adams and Jeremy Arthur to have any further contact with each other.

For Katie Adams, this situation was absolutely terrible.

Originally, Katie Adams wanted to use Jeremy Arthur to cause trouble, but it seems like that’s completely impossible now.

Things have now completely reached a deadlock. As the filming of “The Two Beauties” progresses, Simone Milton receives more and more praise.

And what about her? A supporting female character, one who even tried to frame the heroine without success. What did she get in return? Nothing but contempt and disdain from everyone.

She even felt that, in the eyes of some people, she was nothing more than a clown or someone who performed silly tricks.

Once again, being talked about behind her back, Katie Adams could take it no more. She couldn’t help but hide in the restroom and vent her anger in private.

She now doesn’t dare to express any dissatisfaction in public, as doing so would only lead to even more ridicule from others.

Just thinking about that scene made her furious!

Fortunately, this ordeal finally came to an end. The filming of “Shuang Shu” has reached its conclusion.

And now, as the female third lead, she can finally wrap up her filming and leave this damned, frustrating set.

On the day of the shoot’s completion, Katie Adams couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the thin red envelope handed to her by the director.

This is probably the most stingy director she’s ever met. That tiny red envelope—was it supposed to be enough to feed a beggar?

That’s what Katie Adams thought, but she didn’t show any signs of it on the surface. In fact, she even appeared grateful.

She told Director Fang that she hoped to have another chance to work with him in the future.

And after hearing what Katie Adams said, Director Fang politely replied that he would definitely do so if he had the chance.

Compared to Katie Adams, Director Fang pays more attention to the lead male and female characters, as well as the supporting female character.

A female lead who’s always scheming behind the scenes and seems to have no clear idea of her own role in the cast is hardly likable. It’s not surprising at all.

Without Katie Adams on the set, everyone felt much more relaxed and had more fun.

The most outrageous act was probably committed by Marian. She even secretly placed small fireworks in Simone Milton’s room to celebrate Katie Adams’ completion of filming.

Seeing this situation, Simone Milton shook her head helplessly. She placed her hand on her forehead and said:

“Marian, are you really going to do this? It seems like she didn’t do anything to offend you at all!”

“That’s not an exaggeration at all. Do you know how long I’ve been longing to get away from Katie Adams? That woman… I really think she’s too wicked!” Marian said this, shivering slightly.

After setting off the small fireworks, Marian sat down on the sofa, picked up the snacks on the coffee table, and began to eat them.

At the thought of how Katie Adams kept trying to frame her, only to be thwarted by her own simple words, Simone Milton shook her head helplessly.

It was simply impossible for her to imagine what Marian meant by “evil nature”.

She watches quite a lot of videos where Katie Adams is called stupid and blames herself for her own problems.

“But no matter what, don’t say such things in public. If anyone overhears you, who knows how much trouble that could cause!” Simone Milton didn’t forget to remind Marian.

God only knows how many times Katie Adams has taken advantage of others’ carelessness to turn defeat into victory in the past.

She would never give Katie Adams the chance to slander her by allowing her to take the floor and speak.

“Don’t worry, I know all that. I’m not like this only in front of you, Sister Simone!” Marian shrugged nonchalantly, smiling as she expressed her thoughts.

“Speaking of which, Sister Simone, your role in the play is almost over, isn’t it? I bet Martha misses you terribly.” Marian said thoughtfully.

Hearing Marian mention Martha, Simone Milton suddenly remembered that she hadn’t yet had a video call with Martha today.

Since joining the cast for filming, she’s made it a habit to video chat with Martha whenever time permits after filming.

If Martha finds out that she has free time after the play, but there are no video calls, she’ll definitely be upset.

With these thoughts in mind, Simone Milton turned on her phone and established a video call. Soon, Martha’s voice came through from the other end of the video call.

A few seconds later, the image appeared on the phone. Martha was in Nick Arthur’s arms, looking at Simone Milton with surprise.

“Mom, you’re up so early today!” Martha said in surprise.

“Yes, I video-chatted with Martha as soon as I got back!” Simone Milton nodded.

This attitude pleased Martha very much. She also enthusiastically talked about all the various things that happened in kindergarten.

Actually, these things might seem rather boring to an adult. But Simone Milton couldn’t help but be amused by Martha’s lively gestures and movements. She even couldn’t stop laughing.

She guided Martha, telling her about everything that had happened to her in those days. Finally, she told Martha that, if nothing went wrong, she would be going home soon.

Upon hearing this news, Martha was of course very happy. She hadn’t seen Simone Milton in a long time.

In her own words, she had almost forgotten what Simone Milton looked like.

Although this might be a bit exaggerated, it still effectively conveys Martha’s longing for Simone Milton.

“Oh, in that case, why don’t we go and pay them a visit?” Martha suddenly clapped her hands, coming up with a brilliant idea.

Actually, she had thought of the idea of visiting the set a long time ago. It’s just that she simply didn’t have the time to do it at that time.

The next two days are the weekend. If it’s just a simple visit to check on things, there should be enough time for that.

Hearing this, Simone Milton was taken aback. She really wanted to see Martha, but the idea of making a surprise visit seemed a bit excessive to her.

What if those entertainment gossip reporters catch wind of this? Who knows what kind of uproar it might cause.

That’s exactly what bothers her.

Nick Arthur, who was holding Martha in his arms, glanced at Simone Milton again after hearing what Martha said.

As if he could read Simone Milton’s thoughts, he thought for a moment before slowly offering his opinion: “I think this is a good idea. If it works, it’ll make our story even more interesting.”

Simone Milton was momentarily stunned, then looked at Nick Arthur with concern and said, “Ayan, you still have work to do. Isn’t this being a bit too selfish of you? It’ll put you in a difficult situation, won’t it?”

Martha, who was being held by Nick Arthur, couldn’t help but look up at Nick Arthur when she heard Simone Milton say that.

“Is that so? Will it cause you trouble, Dad? If that’s the case, then forget about it! Anyway, Mom will be back soon. It wouldn’t be good to keep causing trouble like this.” Martha said this, but she felt very disappointed.

This sense of loss was quickly dispelled by her. With a determined look in her eyes, she said to Nick Arthur, “Never mind. I won’t go to check on him anymore. I’ll just stay at home obediently.”

Nick Arthur felt deeply moved by how sensible Martha was. He patted her head and said, “Work can always be done at a later time, but it’s rare to get to visit like this. If we go tomorrow, we should be able to make it back in time!”

Hearing this, hope blossomed in Martha’s heart. If conditions permitted, she really hoped to go and visit the set.

“Really? That’s great!” Martha said happily. She glanced at Simone Milton, a little shy, hoping to get her approval.

Seeing Martha blinking her big eyes, and Nick Arthur looking at her with a hint of anticipation in his gaze, Simone Milton felt somewhat helpless.

“Never mind, if you really want to come, then come on! After all, you know very well that there’s no way I can stop you, right?” Simone Milton rubbed her forehead helplessly.

But the smile on her lips revealed her true thoughts.

“Yay, that’s great!” Martha immediately cheered upon hearing this.

After ending the video call with Simone Milton, Martha immediately went to bed to rest.

Unfortunately, the thought of being able to visit the set tomorrow kept Martha completely awake.

Not only that, but at four or five in the morning the next day, Martha, completely excited, couldn’t wait to get out of bed.

She carefully finished getting herself ready, then rushed out of the room and knocked on Nick Arthur’s door.

When Nick Arthur woke up, he saw Martha, who was full of energy. She couldn’t wait to pull him out of the house.

Nick Arthur picked up Martha with one hand, then reluctantly tickled the tip of her nose.

“Well, I understand your excitement, but dear, you need to realize that we really don’t need this kind of excitement right now. It’s still too early. Go back to sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up later, okay?” Nick Arthur said gently.

Realizing too late that she had rushed things, Martha felt too embarrassed to say anything. She buried her face in Nick Arthur’s chest and nodded in agreement in a muffled voice.

When Martha woke up from her nap, she found that they had already arrived at their destination.

Sitting in the car of the front-door crew, Martha leaned against the window, watching the traffic outside. She asked Nick Arthur, who was driving:

“Where have we come to?”

“We’ll be at the set in a moment, Martha. Wait a little. There are sandwiches in the fridge. You can take one and eat it!” Nick Arthur, who was driving, glanced back at Martha in the back seat.

“Okay, I understand!” Martha nodded and skillfully took out her own breakfast from the car’s refrigerator.

Obviously, she was very familiar with the interior structure of the car.

After another ten-odd minutes, Nick Arthur and Martha finally arrived outside the filming location.

Of course, they didn’t come empty-handed. Nick Arthur brought along small gifts he had purchased along the way. He asked the film director to distribute them. After that, he went with Martha to find Simone Milton, who was filming on set.

The staff members and actors who received the small gifts were all talking about it.

Especially when they heard that the gift was sent by Nick Arthur, their curiosity reached its peak.

“I heard this was sent out by Arthur. What could he possibly want from us?”

“It must be for Simone Milton. Aren’t the two of them a couple?”

“Couple? Aren’t they in a patron-client relationship?”

The actors who received small gifts whispered among themselves, but they were really curious about the relationship between Simone Milton and Nick Arthur.

Out of curiosity, many people secretly stopped what they were doing and went to the photography studio to observe quietly.

Director Fang, who was filming at the time, certainly heard the commotion outside, but he paid no attention to it.

For him, what’s most important right now is filming in the market. Everything else has nothing to do with him.

Meanwhile, Oliver Arthur, who had overheard the staff’s conversation by chance, went over to where Martha and Nick Arthur were being led.

He stepped forward quickly, effortlessly picked up Martha, then glanced at Nick Arthur with a hint of complaint.

“Bro, what’s going on here? The commotion is a bit too much! If someone didn’t know any better, they’d think some important person had arrived! It really disrupts the order of things.” Oliver Arthur smirked in disdain.

To be honest, he’s also a member of the Arthur family. Why aren’t these staff members as attentive to him?

Looking at his brother again, bringing Martha along and causing such a stir is truly enviable.

“I’m here to see Simone. How has she been lately?” Nick Arthur got straight to the point when he entered the room.

“Of course it’s fine. Just kidding. I’m part of this crew. Who would dare to bully her? You underestimate me too much!” Oliver Arthur said, fixing his gaze on Martha.

He asked Martha in a friendly manner if she felt bored and whether she wanted to go to the set and see how Simone Milton was performing during filming.

Compared to Nick Arthur, it’s like two completely different people.

“Okay, uncle! I want to go watch Mommy act!” Upon hearing Oliver Arthur say this, Martha immediately nodded her head.

Seeing Martha’s radiant expression, Oliver Arthur also felt his mood brighten instantly. He smiled and walked into the set, holding Martha in his arms.

As for Nick Arthur, who came with Martha, Oliver Arthur completely ignored him.

Nick Arthur didn’t care either. He slowly followed Oliver Arthur into the filming site.

At this moment, on the set, the actress is filming her monologue after winning as her third personality.

Director Fang, who was filming at the time, glanced casually at Oliver Arthur, who was carrying Martha in his arms. Then he turned his attention back to the scene.

Once she entered the set, Martha, who had been curious and fidgety, immediately became quiet.

She watched Simone Milton from the sidelines, silently observing her. Simone Milton on stage seemed to radiate light and had an extraordinary charm that captivated everyone’s attention. Her heart was filled with emotion as she watched her.

Although she’s still very young, she really has no idea what the scenes being filmed actually mean.

But deep down, she thought, “That’s really amazing!” If only she
