Chapter 2

“Click! Scene thirty-five is completed.”

At the director’s command, everyone showed expressions of joy. This scene was a key part of “Under Heaven” and required the actors to perform on horseback. To everyone’s surprise, Lynn Newman was extremely skilled at riding. She passed the take after just two attempts.

Assistant Fang Ya pushed her way through the crowd. As she handed Lynn Newman the honey water, she gave a thumbs-up and praised, “Sister Tang, your acting is amazing! I totally got lost in the scene just now.”

Lynn Newman smirked. “If you really want to act, I could assign you a small role to play.”

She wasn’t blind to the hidden intentions of others. When it came to those around her, Lynn Newman was never too quick to offer a helping hand. In the entertainment industry, you never know who might become popular next. Having one more “friend” is always better than having one more enemy.

“Really? That’s great! I’d be happy to.” The little girl nodded vigorously, her lively and adorable appearance drawing frequent glances from the staff passing by.

A week of non-stop filming left Lynn Newman looking exhausted. Thinking that she would have to continue shooting in the afternoon, she couldn’t even be bothered to take off her costume. She told Fang Ya, “I’ll rest in the RV for a while. If anyone looks for me, please give me a call.”

This is a habit that Lynn Newman never breaks on. Taking a nap helps her stay in top shape during filming.

“I see.” Lynn Newman, who was in a very good mood, naturally didn’t notice the fleeting hint of scheming in Fang Ya’s eyes.

Today’s filming took place on location. The director rented a racetrack for the shoot. The RV was parked in a somewhat remote area. Lynn Newman opened the car door, sat down, and closed her eyes to rest. Suddenly, she detected a faint smell of tobacco. Startled, she immediately opened her eyes. In front of her stood a man with a large head and round face, staring at her greedily from head to toe. His lecherous gaze was utterly disgusting.

“Who are you?” Lynn Newman remained calm at once.

Meanwhile, her mind was working at full speed.

For example, how did this man manage to get into the crew?

How does he have the keys to an RV?

What’s his motive for staying here?

“Today, I’m going to taste what it’s like to be a movie star’s lover.” The man licked his thick, plump lips and rushed forward eagerly.

The RV was too small for Lynn Newman to get away from him. In one moment, she was held tightly in his arms, followed by a deluge of wet kisses.

Idiot!

Lynn Newman was furious. She kicked upward with her knee, causing the man on top of her to let out a piglike grunt of pain. Taking advantage of his moment of weakness, Lynn Newman quickly rolled to the ground, got up, and opened the car door, ready to get out. But suddenly, her hair was pulled back with force.

The pain made her cry.

Just then, she suddenly found herself in a warm embrace. Immediately afterward, even more desperate screams came from behind her.

“Are you okay?” A deep, pleasant, and magnetic voice suddenly filled my mind.

Lynn Newman looked up and saw Julie Berkeley’s gentle smile. Her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

“How did you get here?” Realizing that the two of them were too close together, Lynn Newman felt extremely nervous. She tried to push him away, but the man’s grip was too strong; she couldn’t move him at all.

In the next moment, Julie Berkeley lifted the entire body into her arms.

Lynn Newman let out a cry, and quickly grabbed his suit with both hands.

This rascal!

After Julie Berkeley set her down from the car, she released her hand. The gentlemanly manner of that man made Lynn Newman, who was lost in thought, feel extremely ashamed.

It was like a scene from a TV drama. There was commotion in the distance, and a crowd of people rushed toward us.

But in the blink of an eye, Lynn Newman understood the whole situation perfectly. Apparently, becoming a movie star had made her complacent. How could one underestimate the cunning nature of people in the entertainment industry?

“Act a scene with me.” Lynn Newman immediately took Julie Berkeley’s arm. After all, the person behind the scenes wanted to catch them in the act, right? They had to prevent that from happening.

“Julie Berkeley?”

“Julie Berkeley and Lynn Newman?!”

Watching the intimate gestures of the two, everyone was in a state of chaos in the wind.

One is a talented young professional who’s achieved great success in her career. The other is a twice-awarded actress with a flawless reputation. Both are beautiful and intelligent, making them a perfect match when together.

Especially Fang Ya, whose face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Lynn Newman gave her a brief glance with her beautiful eyes, then turned her gaze to the director. Posing as if confused, she asked, “Director Augustine, what’s going on?”

Director Augustine pretended to cough twice, covering his lips with his hand, and replied, “Your assistant told me that you were attacked by a wealthy businessman in the RV…” Facing Julie Berkeley’s cold gaze, Director Augustine grew increasingly uneasy. “I’m glad you’re okay.”

Everyone in the circle knows how Julie Berkeley operates. On the surface, she seems gentle and polite, but her methods are actually extremely sharp and decisive. She doesn’t dawdle at all, showing a firm and resolute approach to everything.

Those who offended him over the years either disappeared from the entertainment industry or saw their companies decline from first-rate to third-rate. What’s even more intimidating is his prominent family background.

As soon as the director finished speaking, a furious roar erupted from Newman’s RV: “You two bitches, wait till I get to you. I definitely won’t let you off.”

Holy shit, there really is something going on.

Everyone stretched their necks and pricked up their ears. Today was definitely a big day for news.

Look, where in the entertainment industry can you find a “pure lotus” who remains untainted by the mud of the world?

Lynn Newman pretended to be someone else for all those years, but in the end, her true character was revealed anyway.

Some people simply took out their phones and started streaming live.

“Gao Yu?” Julie Berkeley raised her eyebrows, her lips curving into a pleasing arc. Her voice was cold and clear, sending chills down the furious man’s spine.

“Who are you?” Gao Yu glared angrily at Julie Berkeley. She seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall who she was for the moment. “Could it be that little fop raised by Lynn Newman?”

Suddenly, everything around became silent.

Lynn Newman keenly sensed that something had changed in the man beside her. He still wore that calm, smiling expression, but his eyes had suddenly become cold.

It was clearly aimed at her. Lynn Newman was vindictive by nature, and she immediately had an idea. She tugged at Julie Berkeley’s sleeve. When Julie nodded in agreement, Lynn whispered in her ear, “My assistant has always wanted to act. Why not fulfill their wish?”

A hint of doubt and confusion appeared in Julie Berkeley’s eyes.

“You know, it must be quite interesting when a movie queen sinks so low as to accept roles in porn movies, right?” Don’t be fooled by Lynn Newman’s soft, delicate voice; her words reveal a cruel and bloodthirsty nature.

Fang Ya would stop at nothing to get the role, so she fulfilled the other person’s desire to become famous overnight.

Gao Yu wanted to destroy her, so she allowed him to experience what it was like to be a “film queen” firsthand.

Lynn Newman, who came from that family, never really knew how to define what it meant to be a “good person” at all.

Everyone watched the two of them whispering to each other, feeling as if their hearts were being scratched by cat claws.

Julie Berkeley was initially stunned, but then a smile spread across her face. She glanced at everyone around her and said gently, “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Lynn’s fiancé.”

It caused a huge stir at once!
