Upon listening to Michelle’s statement, Milly stayed calm. She approached the cabinet and asked, “Do you prefer water or tea?”

Michelle impatiently tapped her fingers and responded, “I’ll have coffee, please.”

Milly searched the cabinet and found a packet of instant coffee. She tore it open, poured it into a cup, and poured hot water into it.

The room quickly filled with the strong scent of coffice.

Giving the cup to Michelle, Milly took a seat across from her and got straight to the point, “What did you mean by that?”

Michelle stirred her coffee with a spoon, smirked, and clarified, I meant exactly what I said. Stephanie is planning to collaborate with me. During tomorrow’s live streaming, she plans to frame and discredit you. The reason is

She looked at Milly earnestly and added. “I guess it’s likely out of jealousy.”

A flash of coldness appeared in Milly’s eyes at these words.

She knew about Stephanie’s animosity towards her, so the thought of her plotting wasn’t completely surprising. However, she never anticipated that Stephanie would stoop to causing trouble during Jonathan’s birthday live streaming.

Milly pressed her lips together, gazed at Michelle, and frowned. “Why are you sharing this with me?”

With her chin resting on her hand, Michelle kept her eyes on Milly. A satisfied smile spread across her face as she answered, ‘Because, in comparison to her, I replace you more pleasant.”

Confused, Milly arched an eyebrow.

In her mind, Michelle was supposed to dislike her, which made teaming up with Stephanie seem more likely.

Yet, here she was, revealing this information to her.

It was bewildering.

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Michelle smiled and clarified, “To be frank, I’m not fond of you. Your presence unintentionally caused me to lose a role.

“However, as the eldest daughter of the Fitzgeralds, I was taught to be straightforward.

“So, even though I may dislike or fesent you, I won’t resort to deceitful tactics. It’s against my values. I prefer to compete with you openly and fairly.”

She spoke with genuine sincerity, which, paradoxically, stirred a sense of fondness in Milly’s heart.

Upon closer reflection, it was indeed the case. Previously, Milly’s sudden appearance inadvertently took away Michelle’s role, prompting her to publicly disparage Milly on Twitter. Yet, she neither sought to leverage connections to displace her nor harboured any ill will. This demonstrated her genuinely open-

However, individuals possessing such integrity and honesty were a rare breed in the entertainment industry. More prevalent were characters akin to Stephanie, who schemed behind others‘ backs, stabbing them when least expected.

A breathtakingly beautiful curve graced the corners of Milly’s lips as she regarded her, admiration gleaming in her eyes. “Is that so? Then I look forward to you defeating me.”

Michelle refused to be outdone, meeting her gaze with determination. “Absolutely

At that instant, it appeared as if two emerging stars were on the verge of developing a mutual respect for

each other.

Getting back to the topic, Milly asked, “You said Stephanie intends to team up with you to oppose me. How does she plan to carry out this scheme?”

Michelle took out a bracelet encrusted with gems and diamonds from her pocket, a lavish item, and set it

on the table.

She explained, “She assigned me to slip this bracelet into your assistant’s bag tomorrow, implicating her in theft. Of course, you would stand up for her. With public sentiment shifting, it would seem as if you both were conspiring and practising deception.”

Grasping the plot, Milly couldn’t suppress a chuckle.

Stephanie’s skill at framing and deflecting blame was undoubtedly sharp.

She realised that if she were to place the bracelet in Milly’s bag, Michelle’s involvement would raise suspicions. Even if she managed to conceal the item successfully, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Jordan. After all, Jordan was currently quite accommodating to Milly. There was simply no need to resort to stealing.

Yet, if the bracelet were placed on Joy, her brother wouldn’t mind at all.

Joy

y served as her assistant, linked to her by a delicate bond. By subtly dropping hints, she could effortlessly mislead the fans in live streaming. If Stephanie also hired some supporters, she could readily shift the blame onto someone else as the thief!

Stephanie’s strategic acumen was genuinely impressive.

Even Milly had to acknowledge her meticulous planning.

Noticing her quietness, Michelle inquired. “Is it wise for me to dispose of this bracelet and pretend it never occurred?”

Milly grinned, retrieved the bracelet from the table, and inspected it in her palm.

Truly, it possessed considerable worth.

A frosty smirk crept across her mouth, a touch of malice shining in her gaze, “What reason do I have to back down? She’s initiated conflict, and if I don’t strike back, it would portray me as feeble.”

Then, she lifted her gaze to Michelle. Gone was the sinister gleam from her eyes, replaced instead by a brimming smile.

“Weren’t you recently criticising those who resort to sneaky methods? Allow me to deal with this bracelet.”

Michelle was taken aback by her agreement, feeling slightly disconcerted.

“Consider it carefully. Tomorrow’s the live streaming. You can’t make any slip–ups. If you’re branded a thief, your career in the entertainment industry will be ruined.”

Milly smiled gently, exuding a captivating allure that briefly captivated Michelle.

“Don’t worry, I won’t falter.

“Someone has meticulously orchestrated a snare. We can’t let them down, can we? Just wait for the show

tomorrow.”

Stephanie’s trivial plots didn’t concern her.

Since she aimed to play me, then I’d play along until the end, to see who emerged victorious in the end, and who ended up defeated.

Michelle had wanted to offer some words of advice, but upon witnessing her brimming confidence, the words she had intended to speak suddenly caught in her throat.

She shrugged inwardly, resigning herself to the situation. I had said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. Whatever remained was no longer my concern.

The next day arrived.

Alan had organised a temporary tent to be set outdoors for the live–streaming event.

It was evident that he truly cared.

Early in the morning, he gathered the actors together and briefed them on what to expect during the upcoming live streaming.

He emphasised the importance of making the most of the live–streaming audience reach to promote the movie vigorously, generating buzz without revealing any spoilers or confidential details.

While the others listened respectfully, their expressions remained neutral, devoid of any overt emotion. Only Stephanie wore a visage of joyful anticipation, her excitement palpable.

Milly, however, chose to ignore her entirely.

After a wait of about fifteen minutes, a sturdy RV pulled up at the entrance of the set.
