Ch. 621..630

Chapter 621

'Will Ivor be unfaithful to Bonnie? I can't stand by and do nothing. I have to call her and tell her about this earth- shattering news.' Flynn tried calling Bonnie several times, but she didn't answer. Frustrated, he scratched the back of his ear and couldn't help but grumble, "Con, Bonnie. Hurry up and pick up the phone. If you don't, someone else will steal your fiance!" He gave her several more calls, but she still didn't answer.

"Forget it. I'm not going to achieve anything if I just stay here. I should just go out there and search for Bonnie instead." With that, he took his phone and hurriedly left the villa. Chapter

Sydney and Gunnar poked their heads out from the corner. Then, they looked at their son from their hiding spot. Noticing that her husband was about to reveal more than half his body, she hurriedly tapped his shoulder. "Be careful. Don't let Flynn see you." At the next moment, he quickly hunched himself a little. "I am being careful. He didn't seeor anything. With that said, he looked so nervous. Do you think he went out to look for Bonnie?" "Do you have to ask? Of course, he did. Just think about how he always followed Bonnie as if he were her sidekick. It would've been strange if he hadn't looked for her after he heard what we said." "You're such a smart lady, Sydney. We managed to let Bonnie know about this information without revealing ourselves." Sydney cast her mind back to the tic changes that had occurred to her son ever since Bonnie showed up and felt an intense hatred rising within her chest. Her eyes were filled with a thick sense of menace immediately. "I won't let Bonnie know peace. That's a promise!" Flynn drove out of his house and went straight to Bonita Research Institute. He had just arrived at the door when he saw Bonnie. She just cout of the building for sfresh air.

"Screech!" He slammed on the brake and darted out of his car.

"Something terrible happened, Bonnie!" She asked, confused. "What on earth happened? Why are you so shocked?" He told her everything he heard from his parents, "I tried calling you earlier, but you didn't answer. So, I have no choice but to drive out here and find you in person." "Really?" She wore an inexplicable expression. She gave herself stto take it in. Then, she composed herself and pulled her phone out of her pocket.

'He's right. There are several missed calls.' "I must've missed them because I silenced my phone while in the research institute." "W-Well, what should we do now? Do you think Ivor is going to do anything unfaithful to you?"

"Not a chance." She responded confidently. "I'm very certain that he won't do do anything like that. With that said, I don't think the lady cin peace. I'll go over there and take a look at her."

He stuck out his hand, smacked his chest aggressively, and volunteered himself i'll go with you, Bonnie.. That way, I'll rip that hypocrite on your behalf. You don't even have to do it yourself."

'Ivor announced on Twitter that he would get married at the beginning of the year. However, Eloise tries to get close to hing nonetheless. What else is she, if not a hypocrite?" "There's no need for that." She lifted her chin. Her eyes were filled with a natural assertiveness. "I know just how to deal with her." He blinked and looked at her with unblinking eyes.

"If you don't need my help, then I'm not going to butt in. You just have to takealong and letjoin the fun. I won't do anything except see the hot gossip unfold before my eyes."

 

Chapter 622

"Nuh-uh. Snot-nosed kids shouldn't barge in on adult matters. Just go back hand stay there." With that, Bonnie snatched the car key from Flynn. "I'll be taking your car for a while." He was stunned for a moment. Then, instinctively, he responded, "Oh, sure. Go ahead and take it." 'Wait a minute. Didn't I just say I wanted to tag along with Bonnie and see how it unfolds? Did she just say she won't takewith her? How cold-blooded is that?' When he knew what was happening, she had stepped on the gas pedal and drove away.

He watched as she drove off into the distance and said bitterly, "I just want to get in on the fun and watch shot gossip unfold before my eyes. Why is it this hard to make it happen?" He stared at how she left for a long tbefore tearing his gaze away. Then, he turned around and left.

'If Bonnie doesn't wantthere, I won't follow her then. Might as well go hand play svideo games. After all, I can never go wrong if I do as she says.' On the other side, Ivor had arrived at Blue Jazz Eatery. His distant, elegant bearing and tall figure attracted attention when he stepped inside.

A couple of girls muttered, "What a stunning guy. Is he ssort of celebrity?" "Nuh-uh. That guy's not a celebrity. I've spent many years in the entertainment industry and never seen someone like him. Do you think I would've missed out on someone as gorgeous as him if he's a celebrity?" "I guess you're right. We would've been able to recognize that man at first sight if he was a celebrity. He's just so stunning. I wonder who was lucky enough to have someone like him as her boyfriend." At the next moment, the muttering ladies heard a crisp voice. Chapter

"I'm here, Ivor." Both of them instinctively turned toward the voice. That was when they saw a lady sporting a head full of wavy curly hair and delicate makeup on her face. She looked exquisite. That lady was none other than Eloise.

She called out to Ivor because she overheard both of their exchanges. Doing this would ensure everyone in the restaurant thought she was a couple with him, and that notion made her feel extraordinarily proud.

He heard her and located her swiftly. Then, he walked over and asked, "Where is my stuff?" She immediately wore a saddened expression.

"We used to be so close, Ivor. Are you just here to retrieve your stuff? Aren't you going to reminisce the past with me?" "I guess we can chat a little." Realizing he was behaving rudely, he pulled the chair out. Just as he was about to take a seat, she stood up from her chair.

Find"I was joking. I know how important this stuff is to you. So, I'll give them to you now. That way, you can chat withwithout worrying about them." Now that she had stood up, he had not taken a seat. Instead, he had waited for her to take him his stuff.

She was still wondering how to

stage an accident when she sawza waiter coming her way out of the corner of her eye. Without a moment's hesitation, she e deliberately rammed into the waiter.

"Eek!"

She let out a startled cry as a hint of sparkle flashed in her eyes. Adjusting the angle she fell, she positioned herself to tumble onto Ivor. At the last possible moment, someone reached out and held her back.

She thought it was Ivor. A trace of tender shyness flashed across her face when she turned around and said affectionately, "Thank you, Ivor..." Before she could finish, her eyes were met with an exquisite, flawless face before she fell into an abrupt silence.

 

Chapter 623

'What a gorgeous lady! Who is she? How does someone this exquisite even exist? I'm a lady, yet I'm close to having a crush on her. That said, I'm more jealous of her than anything else.' However, she regained her composure and pretended to be polite. "Thank you, miss. I would've fallen to the ground if it wasn't for you." She said that but was cursing at the lady who saved her.

'If this lady hadn't cout of nowhere and stoppedfrom falling, I would've fallen into Ivor's embrace. It's all her fault. She ruined my plan.' It took Bonnie less than a second to see through Eloise's facade and peer into the latter's true colors. Her lips curled into a smile as she scanned Eloise from head to toe with a calm gaze. Eloise couldn't explain it, but Bonnie's stares unnerved her.

Before she could say something, she saw Ivor looking at Bonnie and speaking affectionately. It was the kind of tone she had never been on the receiving end of.

"What brought you here?" Bonnie gave him a sidelong glance. "What do you think?" All of a sudden, he was gripped with panic. He said hastily, "Letexplain, Bonnie. It isn't what it looks like!" "I haven't even said anything. What's gotten your panties in a bunch?" She rolled her eyes at him. Then, she glanced at Eloise, who was in a daze.

Eloise noticed Bonnie's glance. So, she seized the opportunity to ask her the burning question.

"Wh-who are you? How do you know Ivor?" Pursing her lips, Bonnie asked, "Well. How do you know Ivor?" Eloise puffed her chest, trying to show Bonnie who was in charge. "I'm Ivor's childhood friend." Bonnie couldn't help but chuckle. "Does being his childhood friend mean you get to lean on my fiance's chest? What's the matter? Are you trying to be a homewrecker here? Are you cooking up a schto steal him away from me? Is that how you're going to tear my family apart?" At first, Eloise didn't know who she was. However, she was starting to see the truth about how Ivor reacted. However, she could no longer contain her frustration and jealousy when Bonnie told her that Ivor was her fiance. She might've harbored a deep hatred and animosity for Bonnie. After all, the latter stole the man she loved from her. She didn't let any of it show on her face.

Instead, she pinched her thighs fiercely while maintaining a calm demeanor. Her eyes turned red, and she immediately put on a pitiful look. "I-It was an accident. Didn't you see how the waiter ran intoearlier? "Moreover tvor and I used to be very close in the past. Here you are, trying to twist something harmless into something so wicked and accuseof seducing him. Just how ruthless are you?" Content Everything she said was directed at Bonnie, but she kept glancing at Ivor instead. She wanted to see just how he would react to this whole thing.

To her surprise, he merely remained calm and completely unfazed.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and forced tears into her eyes. More and more tears streamed down her m cheeks like a broker faucet. No one could've stopped them, no matter what they did. She looked as if someone had done a horrible thing to her. If they didn't know any better, speople would've thought Bonnie was incredibly mean to her. Eloise's reaction reminded Bonnie of another hypocritical lady in her former family.

'Speaking of, I've met several hypocritical ladies. I've gotten so good at dealing with, th them, too m What's the big deal having to deal with another one of them? It's a piece of cake.' She turned her head sideways and blinked at him innocently at the thought. "Do you think I'm ruthless?" Chapter

He responded immediately, "How are you ruthless in any way? As far as I'mconcerned, you have the kindest soul in the whole wide world. You're like an angel, bringing hope to the mortals. "Needless to say, I'm the luckiest of them because I could make you mine for real, and they can't." He was filled with such adoration for her as he spoke. His tone was nothing but affectionate.

Bonnie's face turned red when she met his gaze and heard his voice.

Chapter 624

'Gee. He's gotten so good at romantic talks that he's makingshy. Anyway, I need to deal with this hypocritical lady. So, I can't afford to let it show now.' Pointing at Eloise, she said pitifully, "You say that, but she claimed that I'm ruthless." Ivor turned his gaze at Eloise. The affection he had shown Bonnie earlier was replaced with an indifferent coldness.

"We might've been close in the past, Eloise. However, despite our friendship, I won't tolerate you insulting my fiancee. From here on out, if you say anything disrespectful to her, I'll cut you loose." Eloise felt as if someone stabbed her through the heart. The pain was so excruciating that it suffocated her a little.

'I've been in love with Ivor for the longest there. So, why would he speak up for another lady instead? He didn't use to treatthis way. It's too heartbreaking.' Bonnie shook his arm and put her acting skills to good use. She deliberately spoke in an adorable tone, "Con, she's a lady at the end of the day. Don't be so mean to her.

"The fact is that she only badmoutheda little. It's no big deal. I only ask for an apology. Then, I'll let it go." Waves of pleasurable emotions overtook him.

'This is the first tBonnie had spoken toin such an adorable tone. I know she's just putting on an act, but I can't deny that it has sparked an overwhelming sense of affection in me.' "Okay, then." He flashed her a loving smile. The way he looked at her suggested that he would've had his way with her right there and then if he could.

It wasn't his fault, though. After all, she was the one who flirted with him.

He gave himself stto regain his composure. Then, he suppressed his anger before glancing at Eloise coldly. "Did you hear what my fiancee said? I want you to apologize to her now." Eloise was so furious that she almost ground her teeth to dust. Chapter

'However, I won't be able to meet with him again if I don't apologize to her.' At the thought of that, she lowered her head. The reluctance and frustration in her eyes were unmistakable. She said softly, "I'm sorry." Her apology was as hollow as they came.

Ivor's brows furrowed. His voice was cold when he spoke. "You could've been louder." She clenched her fist and tried so hard to shove her anger down that the veins on her forehead popped.

She held her breath and was about to apologize to Bonnie again. That was when she heard the latter's voice, "Forget it. She has apologized to me. I'll be the bigger man and let her off the hook." 'Did she just say she's the bigger man?' Eloise's eyes widened in shock. She was the one who madeapologize to her earlier! How dare she claim that she was the bigger man now?' Ignoring Eloise's glares, Bonnie glanced at the steak and spaghetti on the table.

"Were you guys about to have a meal together earlier? That's great. I've and been working the entire day and didn't have tto put anything in my stomach. Take a seat, everyone. Let's eat." Ivor's voice was frustrated and concerned, "What do I have to say to get you to take your meals promptly?"

"I got so busy that I forgot about them. I'm going to eat somethingn now. So, it's going to be fine." She So it's made him sit and gestured for Eloise to do the same. "Um... Take a seat, Eloise. There's no need to feel shy. After all, you're our guest. We would've felt uneasy if you remained standing."

At the next moment, Eloise gritted her teeth. The calm expression she plastered on her face almost fell apart. Fortunately, she lowered her head and kept her roiling emotions hidden. "Sure. Okay." The waiter served all the dishes once the three of them were seated.

Ivor leaned in close to Bonnie and whispered to her.

Chapter 625

"Beautifully done, Bonnie." Her lips curled into a smile as she gazed at him with approval. "You did well yourself. You reacted quickly and went along with my bit flawlessly." Then, something occurred to him, and he spoke timidly. "Are you mad that I'm meeting Eloise privately, Bonnie? Letstart by saying that we might be childhood friends, but I have no feelings for her. Please believe me." Turning her head sideways, she glanced at him. "Would you have been able to remain calm if this happened to you?" The next moment, his eyes sparkled, and his face lit up. "You makeso happy, Bonnie. That means you're only getting this upset and jealous about Eloise because you deeply love me." She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you trying to tellthat you met up with her because you were trying to getjealous?" "That's not it. Here, letexplain." He proceeded to tell her the entire story. "I didn't want to meet with her, but she toldI left sof the stuff from my toverseas when I returned to Arvandor. She took them back for me. "Those things hold a lot of sentimental value to me, so I agreed to meet with her first." Then, he leaned closer to her and deliberately breathed at her ear. "Now, I've explained everything to you. Are you still mad at me?" Her lips curled into a grin. "Do you think I'm that petty? Relax. I was just messing with you." It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulder. He smacked his chest tically in front of her.

"You almost gavea heart attack. I thought you were mad atfor cheating on you. The moment I saw you in the restaurant, I thought of all the possible kinds of punishment you'd putthrough." Her grin grew wider at that. "You've got a rich imagination, Ivor." Noticing that she wasn't mad, he felt a smile coming on.

"Do you think it's an imagination? It's my way of telling you that I love you." She rolled her eyes at him, exasperated. "You've got such a smart mouth. When do you think you can fix this part of you?" "Whatever I said, I said it with my heart and soul. Are you going to forbidfrom voicing my true thoughts?" "I'm done talking to you." She turned her head sideways, and he hastily tried to soothe her.

Eloise stared at them.

'Both of them treatedlike air. They just said whatever they want, even though I'm right here.' She bit on her lips. She didn't even realize she was digging her nails into her flesh.

'It's not just I hadn't confessed my love to him while studying overseas. However, Ivor had always coldly rejected my approach.

'I didn't want him to cutoff. So, I could only get close to him as a friend and stay by his side that way. I dared not let him know how much I still loved him.

'I might've successfully bechis friend after that. However, my love only grew stronger as twent by. Nobody knew just how much it killedto shove it down deep. S *After all this time, I thought he'd finally reciprocate my love. What did I get in the end? He cast our friendship aside for this bitch.

'Gosh. I'm so furious with her! I hate

her so much that I could grind my teeth to dust! How I wish I could rip I I her to pieces. But I can't do anything except sit here and watch them be lovey-dovey.'

She was in the middle of her thoughts when she saw what was happening before her eyes. At first, she was stunned. Then, her eyes were brimming with a burning rage. Ivor treated Bonnie with this utmost affection, and he stabbed a piece of food and brought it to her lips, intending to feed her. Chapter

"Their grilled swordfish with herb butter is something else, Bonniem Here, I made sure that there were no bones in this piece. Hurry up and taste it." Bonnie and Ivor might've been a couple, but she still couldn't get used to acting this lovey-dovey with him. That said, she noticed Etoise gritting her teeth. Bonnie grinned.

'I'm sure this frustrates her very much. Very well. I'm going to end her wishful thinking once and for all!' "Okay. Here I come."

 

Chapter 626

Bonnie ate the piece of fish on his fork and said, "Mmm. It's tasty." Ivor was ecstatic that she was playing along. His lips curled into a big smile. Then, he put more food on her plate and said, "These tastes great too." She ate all of them gracefully while he stared at her with love. It was as if they were both enshrouded in a bubble.

Eloise was gnashing her teeth so hard that she could've broken them. Needless to say, her face turned red with fury. She had tried her best to swallow her feelings, but she just couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, she shot up from her seat.

Bonnie and Ivor heard the sound and looked at Eloise.

Bonnie feigned concern. "What's the matter, Eloise? Are you not feeling well?" Eloise thought to herself, 'Exactly! Both my eyes and my heart don't feel well!' However, she forced a smile and pretended to be courteous.

"I'm fine. It has just occurred tothat I needed to handle smatters. So, I'll be taking my leave now. Enjoy the meal, guys." Bonnie nodded in understanding. Then, she looked at Ivor. "Why don't you send Eloise back home?" Signs of hope surfaced in Eloise's expression. She looked at him pitifully. Chapter

'I know Bonnie suggested it, and I have no idea what she's playing at. However, it means getting salone twith Ivor. After all, nothing matters more than my love for him.' He frowned. Just as he was about to say something, she spoke first. "I'll gladly take up the offer, then." With that, she turned to Ivor and said, "Thanks for sendinghome, Ivor." He turned to Bonnie, who was staring at Eloise with a blank expression.

"Wait, I've changed my mind. After all, you guys are childhood friends, and you did try to take advantage of my fiancé earlier. What will I do if you succumb to your lust while driving? You might take your dress off and seduce him..." Then, Bonnie took a brief pause before continuing. "I have faith in Ivor's character and trust that he'd never betray me, but he might see something filthy if you did something like that. That simply wouldn't do." Eloise could just cough up blood. 'I knew she wouldn't showthat sort of kindness. So, this is her game. She deliberately gavefalse hope, only to pull the rug from underand humiliate me.

"I think you've seriously misunderstood me, Bonnie. If you still don't believe me, I can always swear an oath. I don't have " Before she could finish, Bonnie cut her off.

 

Chapter 627

Bonnie was puzzled. "Redeem yourself?" Ivor sat by the bed, his eyes filled with affection. "Yeah. I met with Eloise because I wanted to get my stuff back. However, I did meet up with her privately behind your back. So, I want to redeem myself by giving you a massage." "Haven't I told you that I don't blyou for what happened?" Then, something occurred to her, and she stared at him. "Oh, I get it. Are you going to take advantage ofduring the massage?" He couldn't help but chuckle. "Do I look like someone like that? I'm just worried that you're tired because you call the way to catchin the act today." She stared at him for a while before saying, "Alright, then. I'll believe you this once." Then she lay down on the bed. "Get on with it." Taking off his shoes, he climbed onto the bed and started massaging her shoulders gently.

"How does it feel? Am I hurting you?" Her eyes were lowered while she wore a look of relaxation and pleasure. "It isn't half bad. Keep going." "Alright." At first, he was giving her a proper massage. However, he started having funny thoughts after he smelled the sweet scent of her hair.

She cto realize that there was something weird about the way he massaged her. In fact, he was starting to do it somewhat erotically.

She shot up from the bed and gripped his hands, which were touching places where they shouldn't have. "Didn't we agree that you wouldn't take advantage of me? So, what do you think you're doing?" He looked at her innocently and held her. Chapter

"Isn't it normal forto feel turned on when my hot, beautiful wife is lying before me?" She rolled her eyes at him. "Don't offer it if you can't do it. Also, don't even think about changing a perfectly normal massage into something else halfway through." Ivor was about to say something when she continued again.

"I was occupied with my research for the whole day. I'm worn out, and I'm trying to get srest. Hurry up and go back to your room. Stop bugging me." He looked at her eyes, which were filled with exhaustion, and stopped speaking further. "Sweet dreams, honey." She yawned sleepily. "Goodnight." The next day, Ivor and Floyd were on their way to the company when he asked, "Are there any fun places that Bonnie and I can go, Floyd? I'm talking about the places suitable for a short getaway." "Fun places?" Floyd pondered on it.

Before long, he had an idea, and his eyes sparkled.

"You could always take Ms. Bonnie to the hot springs, Mr. Ivor!" "Hot springs?" "That's right! There's a private hot spring in Verdant Valley Retreat with amazing vibes. Any couple that went there cback with their relationships stronger than ever. Needless to say, they becmuch sweeter to each other, too Content Floyd was single. It took Ivor by surprise that he'd hear something like this from Floyd. So, he looked at his assistant strangely.

"Listen to yourself. Why do you know about this place so much? Have you been there?"

Floyd felt a little embarrassed. He explained quickly, "No. I've never been there. I don't have a girlfriend. Who NO am I supposed to go to the hot spring with? I'm using my cousin and his wife as references "They used to show such little interest in each other that everyone

thought they were about to get divorced. Then, they went away on a leisure trip to the hot spring, and she cback pregnant. She gave birth to a chubby baby.

"Now, they're as sweet as honey. Both of them are very clingy to each other, too. They can't even bear to Επ leave each other for a second." "That sounds magical." Ivor rubbed his chin gently, contemplating.

 

Chapter 628

"Things between my cousin and his wife becmuch better after they went to the hot springs. It's up to you if the shappens to you and Ms. Bonnie. Hehehe..." Ivor scanned Floyd from head to toe with a strange look. He thought about it and said, "Make arrangements for me. Bonnie and I will be there in a couple of days." "Copy that, Mr. Ivor!" Floyd was excited. It was as if he was the one who was taking his girlfriend there. Chapter

Meanwhile, Eloise had returned to Gallagher Villa and threw a fit there. Once she was done taking out her frustrations, she pulled out her phone and called Sienna.

"I'm back in Arvandor, Sienna. Let's meet up sometime." "Sure thing, but I've been a little busy recently. So, you'll have to wait until I have the time." "That's fine. Go ahead and do your thing. After all, I'm at Arvandor most of the time. We can always meet again." Eloise paused briefly before she continued, "Actually, I have something I need to discuss with you now. Are you free to talk?" "Of course. I'm all ears." "I heard that someone called Bonnie was horrible to you recently. Listen, we're close friends. So, I'm definitely going to make her pay for treating you that way!" Sienna couldn't help but frown when she heard Eloise bring up Bonnie. She stopped her friend immediately. "That won't be necessary." "Are you saying that because your grandpa is right beside you?" "No. I mean what I said. I'm fine with catching up on the past with you. So, I'm going to find stfor that and let you know as soon as I do. However, you should stop poking your nose into that particular business." "Gotcha. That's it, then. Goodbye." Eloise hung up her phone and didn't think much of what Sienna said.

'Sienna must've reacted that way because Leo was standing next to her. After all, Leo is very strict with her. I can totally understand it if she didn't dare accept my help when he's around.

'It's okay, though. If Sienna doesn't want to do it, then I'll do it myself and make her fans ruin Bonnie's reputation!' At the thought of it, her eyes were filled with an eerie glow.

Then she made a call to someone else. "I Picture you can dig up eveBonnie as soon as picture and video clip of Orpheus and "Roger that." Before long, she saw what she wanted to see. Picking out sof the more provocative pictures, she sent them all to Sienna. Then she sent several texts.

"I'm sure you don't know about this, Sienna. Bonnie has seduced Orpheus from a few years ago." "I know you toldnot to butt in, but I just can't stand it when my best friend is hurt like this." "Leave it to me. I won't let you suffer for nothing." At the next moment, she sent another picture to Sienna.

It was a picture of the moment when Orpheus and Bonnie had a barbecue. Orpheus had gotten drunk and Bonnie took him to a hotel.

"Look at what Bonnie's doing, Sienna. Just how slutty is she? It's like she can't live a day without sleeping with a man! I'm willing to bet that she seduced Orpheus back when you and him were still together." However, Sienna was so busy with film shooting that she missed out on these pictures and texts.

Eloise took her silence as consent to what she was going to do. Allofa to sudden she grew more reckless. First, she hired someone to forge spictures of Bonnie flirting with sperverted business owners.

Then, she added these pictures to her previous findings. She also put in svideo clips and uploaded all of them to the internet. Lastly, she hired intetrolls to create heated discussions about it.

Before long, this topic made the trending search in the blink of an eye. Bonnie was in for wave after wave of insults and rebuke.

Chapter 629

The next day, Bonnie had just woken up when she received Orpheus's call.

"We're shooting a fighting scene now, Bonwick, but the director wasn't sure if what we shot was good enough. He askedto give you a call and ask you to cover since you're the original author." "Sure thing. I'd just woken up, though. So, givea minute. I'll be there once I've changed." Slipping out of her bed, she went over to the bathroom to freshen up.

He chuckled. "It's okay, Bonwick. Take it easy. We can always shoot other scenes while we wait for you." "Alright." She responded and hung up the phone. Chapter

Half an hour later, her car pulled over by the film set entrance. The director himself coutside to welcher.

"You're finally here, Ms. Bonnie. I need spointers. What should I do to capture the flawless and impactful scene from the original ? We shot a few of these scenes, but I just can't get the feel right. It fell short of my expectations." "Have them reenact the scene again. I need to see it before I can offer suggestions." She sat down behind the cameras.

"Okay." The director barked orders to everyone in the film set with a megaphone. "Ready yourselves, people. Get yourself into your roles. The cameras will be rolling in five." The actors and actresses went to the side to prepare themselves mentally.

Sof the extras glanced at her and started discussing her.

"Is she the most famous and successful author in the literary industry? Is she Jane? She's so young and beautiful." "You said it. Her writing style is so mature that I used to think that she was an old lady. I didn't think she'd be younger than I am." "She could've earned money using her exquisite looks, but she chose to rely on her talent instead. I have to say that I envy her very much." They were in the middle of the discussion when they saw Orpheus giving Bonnie breakfast.

"You chere as soon as you woke up. Did you have breakfast? This place has svery nice bagels. Why don't you have a taste and tellif you like it?" Bonnie did chere in a hurry without having breakfast. She took it and said, "I appreciate that." The director also saw it and added, "He's right, Ms. Bonnie. Go ahead and have your breakfast. I'll ask them to hold on for a few minutes." "That's fine." She proceeded to finish her bagelin several bites. "Return to your positions and reenact the scene everyone. That'll helpsee the whole thing before giving suggestions." "Okay, Ms. Bonnie." The actors and actresses responded in unison and started the shooting.

With that said, everyone was a little nervous when they were acting in front of her. That included Orpheus as well. They wanted to show her their best.

She saw how nervous they were, and couldn't help but tease them a little. "Why are you guys this nervous? Do I look fierce or something?" Everyone directed their gazes at her.

'She's so extraordinarily beautiful that there were no words that could describe how gorgeous she is. Why would she look fierce at all?' 'We just want to give it our best when she's around.' "Relax. Just think ofas a normal staff member. I know I'm the original author, but everyone plays a role in bringing the characters to life.

"I'm here to make things run

smoothly. So, it's important that you guys relax and act the way you would normally. That's the only way I could spot the issue. It'll be easier for you guys to do your jobs once we resolve it. Wouldn't you agree?" Everyone began to relax and focus on acting after her comforting words.

She saw the whole scene and proceeded to provide ssuggestions.

The director adjusted the scene according to the issues she pointed out. As expected, it streamlined the entire shooting for that scene, and finally got the feel right. S the

Chapter 630

"This is incredible! You're amazing!" The director gave Bonnie a thumbs up. "We needed you after all, Ms. Bonnie. I'm grateful that you showed up when you did, Ms. Bonnie. Otherwise, I would surely have los the last few strands of hair on my head." "You did a marvelous job as well. The casting and the props were very close to the original ." Bonnie gave him an approving look.

The director's face turned red when Bonnie complimented him.

"I'm happy that you're happy with it, Ms. Bonnie. I'll keep doing better." "Don't push yourself too hard. Just do as you were." She smiled gently and stood up. "I need to use the restroom. You can go ahead and shoot the scenes yourself. I'll make more suggestions when I return." He nodded at once. "Loud and clear, Ms. Bonnie." She nodded slightly in response and went to the restroom. As she was about to leave, she heard smutterings in the hallway.

"These intediscussions have to be fake. How could Ms. Bonnie be someone like this?" "That's right. I'm sure sof the netizens were jealous of her talents and defamed her on purpose! That's it. I won't allow anyone to insult Ms. Bonnie this way. I have to log in and defend her." "You guys better stay out of it. The original poster managed to dig up this many video clips and pictures. So, there must be sounce of truth in there. You guys might get into a heap of trouble if you intervene!" "In all honesty, I think Orpheus is a little too sweet on Ms. Bonnie. Do you think there may be something between them?" They were discussing it intensely when they heard Bonnie's voice next to them.

"Are you guys talking about me?" All of them were rooted to the spot. Their faces fell the moment they saw her pop up before them. The extra who started this discussion was so startled that she dropped her phone.

Bonnie bent down to pick up the phone. Then, she saw the pictures and video clips, as well as the berating comments.

She couldn't help but raise her brows. "Someone really fumbled the Photoshop on these pictures." Everyone was shocked. Not only did Bonnie remain calm when she saw her own scandalous news, but she joined in on the discussion.

"A-Aren't you the least bit upset when you saw these discussions, Ms. Bonnie?" "Yeah. They defamed and slandered your good name. That's too much. We should find the people who started these false rumors and send them to the police. Do they honestly think the inteis a lawless wasteland? How could they just do whatever they want?" Content "Hear, hear. Being a keyboard warrior is as good as being a piece of trash!" Instead of responding to their questions and comments, she handed the phone back to its owner.

"The shooting for the next scene is about to begin. Cover when you guys are ready." With that, she left the hallway and went to the studio. Everyone watched as she left and couldn't help but gasp in admiration. "Ms. Bonnie truly lives up to Jane's name. She's completely unfazed."

"I would've fallen apart a long tago if I were in her shoes. How could she have remained this calm? khave this to hand it to her, Ms. Bonnie is kind of a badass." "That's enough of this topic. Hurry up and get ready for the shooting. Otherwise, the director is going to let us have it." Chapter

Bonnie entered the stuand had just sat on the chair when she saw m Orpheus approaching her with his ve phone. The anger in his eyes was unmistakable. "Did you see everything they wrote on the internet?"
