Violet felt a chill creeping up her spine, “Can you really guarantee that without Zenobia, DirectorFrost will come knocking at your door?”
Quintessa tilted her chin up, brimming with confidence and pride, “Yes. I can guarantee that inDirector Frost's heart, I'm the one, his favorite Queen Seraphina.”
Quintessa was disheveled yet stunning; her face was alight with self-assurance, and she shone withthe brilliance of a diamond
Observing that, Violet sincerely said, “You're going to be a star, a huge star,”
Quintessa’s lips curled into a sly smile, “It's inevitable. If Quintessa doesn't light up the sky, theuniverse won't stand for it.”
“Tsk, getting cocky, aren't we? That night you brushed off Mr. York, has there been any fallout thesepast few days?”
Quintessa recalled the previous evening and chuckled, “Nope.”
What happened that night was known only to the heavens, to her, and to Tyrone!
Still, Quintessa couldn't be sure what Tyrone would do next.
Violet probed, “What's your plan? I've heard Tyrone is no pushover, and that people who cross himwon't end up in a good place.”
Quintessa perked up, insisting. “Well, I'm not someone to be trifled with either.”
Violet scoffed, “Oh please, get over yourself.”
It hadn't been an hour after Quintessa sent the photo to Miranda that she found out who the “vixen’in the picture was, thanks to Violet deliberately leaking the news about Zenobia cozying up toJerome.
After smashing an antique vase at home in a fit of rage, Miranda immediately took Lilian toconfront
Zenobia.
She tried calling Jerome, but he was unreachable. She looked for him, but he was nowhere to befound. Jerome was making it clear with his silence that their game was over.
All of Miranda's hatred was now directed at Zenobia.
Miranda truly loved Jerome; even though her man had hooked up with the starlet, she still madeexcuses for him in her heart. She was convinced that Zenobia must have seduced Jerome;otherwise, how could
he betray her?
Miranda's tantrum was unknown to Quintessa, but Violet, who kept a close watch, relayed thenews-Zenobia was hospitalized.
Indeed, it was Miranda who had sent her to the ER.
Quintessa Quintessa’s machinations were indeed ruthless.
neered without a shred of sympathy for Zenobia. Though they had never exchanged a word,
But the fault lay in Zenobia because she tried to steal Quintessa’s role.

again.
Then, just a day later, Violet received a call from Director Frost.
Violet was the epitome of composure on the phone, “Alright, I'll convey the message to Quinn andget her thoughts on it. We'll get back to you as soon as possible, goodbye Director Frost.”
After hanging up, Violet leapt onto Quintessa with her robust frame, nearly crushing her.
“Director Frost's call, Queen Seraphina, it's still yours, still yours! Quinn, you're truly incredible.”Quintessa gasped for air, “Get off. I can't breathe.”
Violet's face was flushed with excitement, “In twenty minutes, I'll call Director Frost back and tell himthat you'll accept the role. Quinn, I'm over the moon.”
The reason why Violet hadn't agreed immediately over the phone earlier was to maintain somedignity and make Director Frost think they weren't desperate for the part.
