Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia)
Jilted Bride 47

Chapter 47

A few days later, Dreamscape Studio was officially established. The studio was located in the Dellanex Entertainment & Innovation District, where many entertainment companies were based.

Sharon only took 40% of the shares, and Ophelia, unable to argue with her, became the nominal owner. However, she didn't get involved in the company's management and instead hired a professional agent team to handle everything. As the film's reputation grew, so did Sharon's range of roles. She quickly received several scripts from different production

teams

She texted Ophelia: [Elia, which one do you think I should take She also sent photos of each script to Ophelia.

Ophelia noticed that Sharon had become incredibly clingy lately, messaging her on WhatsApp for almost everything, a complete 180 from when they first met.

After skimming through the scripts, Ophelia recalled which ones had good reviews in her previous life.

She replied: [Why not try that palace intrigue drama?]

Ophelia remembered that the palace intrigue drama would become very popular, and though Sharon's character wasn't entirely likable, it was well-rounded and beloved by audiences. Sharon replied: [OK]

After that, she immediately had her agent decline the other scripts..

Her agent protested, "Sharon, not to be rude, but you're not even the third female lead in this palace drama, while one of the other scripts had you as the lead! Are you sure about this?" "Yeah. I'm sure, Sharon responded without hesitation. The agent didn't quite understand but followed her instructions.

anyway.

Meanwhile, at Hastings Villa, the family hadn't sat down for a meal together in a long time. Nathan had just been discharged from the hospital, with his broken arm still in plaster. He lied, saying he'd fallen while drunk. The family knew what he was like, so they didn't ask any further.

"Emily, have some more, Heather said before serving Emily a piece of fish.

Emily had no appetite. It had been a week, and On a Snowy Day had already grossed over 100 million dollars, with the numbers still climbing. Meanwhile, her movie hadn't even hit 15 million dollars, and its online rating was so low that it wasn't even showing up anymore.

Her debut film hadn't made her an overnight sensation-instead, it had turned her into a target of online hate. She complained bitterly, knowing full well that it was Rex, the male lead, who had failed in his performance. Yet, she was the one getting dragged the most. And to make things worse, she was still being roasted online for wearing that designer's plagiarized outfit.

I wonder how Elia is doing at Rosewood Manor, Heather casually mentioned. Already in a bad mood, Emily grew even more irritated. But she wasn't the only one feeling frustrated,

Nathan glanced at the sting around his chest, his eyes filled with anger. Trying to eat with his left hand was uncomfortable, and in a fit of rage, he threw his fork down. "Mom, why would you bring up that brat?*

"What's gotten into you? Heather snapped, rolling her eyes. "I was just making conversation. There are rumors online that she's the founder of La Reverie. If that's true, wouldn't the Hastings family be gaining a whole new business? That'd make us 14:47 Mon, Nov 11 ti

look pretty good." She had heard the gossip during a coffee meeup with some wealthy wives and thought the news. reflected well on her.

Nathan let out a sneer, grumbling inwardly, 'If she were really suite big-shot founder, would she have been so desperate to become one of the Hastings family? It's all because she wanted to live in luxury. Disgusting Emily's face darkened even more at the inention of La Reverie. She put down her fork and stood up, saying. Tm full."

She mused, I finally get it. As long as Ophelia is around, I'll never be the rightful heiress of the Hastings family. Heather isn't my biological mother after all, and sooner or later, she's going to accept Ophelia. When that happens, will there even be a place for me in this house?

Owen frowned, a hint of reproach in his tone. "Look at you. We're just having a family meal. Why do you always bring up that brat? If she's really the founder of that La Reverie or whatever, then just have her give the endorsement to Emily. We're all family. Why let an outsider benclit?"

"That girl is so stubborn. She treats us like enemies. Even if we talk to her, do you think she'll listen?" Heather couldn't help but feel a sense of unease when she thought about the way Ophelia had spoken to her last time.

"You're her mother. It's only right for you to care more about her, but you can't ignore Emily either. After all, we've raised Emily since she was a child." Owen put down his fork and stood up. Til go check on Emily. You all keep eating

Just as he reached the stairs, he saw Emily coming down with a large suitcase, her eyes slightly red. He asked, "What are you doing?"

Hearing his voice, the rest of the family immediately got up from the dining table and came over.

Emily forced a smile. "Dad, Mom, Harry, Nathan, I was never meant to be part of this family. Thank you all for taking care of me all these years, but I can't keep imposing on you." As she spoke, tears began to fall, and she quickly lowered her head, not wanting them to see her crying Harry hurriedly grabbed the suitcase from her hands. "What are you talking about, Emily? Mom, it's your fault. Why did you have to bring up Ophelia?

"It's not. Don't blame Mom. After all, Ophelia is her real daughter Harry, I'm fine." Emily lifted her head, showing a tearful yet brave-smile.

Emily sighed. "I don't know what's been going on lately. The internet has really been targeting me and the Hastings family, Maybe if I leave, things will get better for the family. I'm the one dragging you all down." She spoke as she tried to take the suitcase from Harry's hand. But what Emily was implying was clear. Everyone immediately assumed that Ophelia had failed to attack Emily directly, so Ophelia resorted to more underhanded methods. They all thought, 'How could such a malicious woman even compare to Emily?' Owen said, "Emily, don't be upset with your mother. She's only trying to talk to Ophelia so she can get you the La Reverie endorsement."

"Really, Mom?" Emily asked hopefully.

Even though Heather felt torn inside, she couldn't bear the sight of her tearful daughter threatening to leave home. "Yes. I'll go talk to her tomorrow and help you secure the endorsement. Be good now, stop crying."

Owen gently patted Emily's head. "Come on. It's just one movie that didn't do well, and the reviews weren't great. It's something every newcomer has to go through. What's the big deal? I've already asked Sophia to help you out at the company. She's got plenty of resources, and she'll give them all to you. Don't worry."

Father and daughter exchanged a look, and Emily immediately understood.

The following day, at La Reverie's studio, Chloe's expansion efforts had paid off. La Reverie wasn't just about dresses anymore. They had launched a whole line of jewelry. The studio had also expanded, renting out an entire floor in Paralet Shopping Center for their operations. Their store on the first floor had now extended to the second floor, which was previously the studio space.

They gradually moved from dresses to gown-style outfits, making some design modifications along the way.

Since Chloe had to take care of Wyatt, a lot of the collaborations now required Ophelia's direct involvement. Chloe primarily handled the business side, while the design work was increasingly handed over to Marilyn.

One of the staff came in to report, "Miss Spencer, Fashion Ladies former designer, Brock, has been causing a scene in the store. Chloe's already called the police, but he refuses to leave and has scared off several customers.

Brock had recently been fired by Fashion Ladies and was forced to pay a hefty sum in damages for breaching his contract, becoming a total outcast in the industry. Ophelia believed that he had brought this on himself. Greedy people never ended up well.
