Ch. 211..220
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 211-t felt like one of the ironies of life.
She did not speak a word but went over to the drawer. She took out the pair of gloves and handed them to him. “Here are your gloves, as agreed.” He studied the gloves carefully and tried them on. “They’re quite good and warm, just like the scarf you knitted, Sis. It’s also warm and comfortable to wear.”” “You don’t have to wear it. Others will look at it and feel it doesn’t suit you,” she said. His fine clothes only made the scarf look old, cheap, and rough.
“Doesn’t suit me?” He raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Sis, to me, there’s never the need for others to judge whether it suits me or not. It only matters if I feel good about it. Take this scarf for an instance. When I say it suits me, then it suits me!” He then paused before feeling the scarf again. “What’s more, Sis is the one who knitted it. In that case… it will suit any kind of clothes!” Her heart suddenly began beating violently. This was the kind of remark that if uttered by someone else, would only seem ridiculous, but when he said it, it seemed to be a fact.
His handsome face was full of earnestness.
It was as if this scarf she knitted was a priceless treasure.
“But Sis…” He took off the gloves he was trying on and randomly pulled a chair over to sit on. He smiled at her and said, “I never liked the same things as anyone else. Now that Sis has knitted a scarf and a pair of gloves for me, you can no longer knit these things for anyone else, understand?” His smile looked so clean and clear, just like the sunshine in the early morning.
People could not help but love such a smile. However, his words made her heart ache.
Was that a warning?
He was warning her not to knit scarves and gloves for anyone in the future.
How many in Emerald City dared to disobey his warning?
On the day as an extra, Grace waited at the venue according to the appointed time in the group. However, Claire Watts did not join them this time. Grace also did not see any acquaintances among those who signed up as extras.
When the time came, the organizer checked their names and brought everyone over to the film crew.
Today’s filming location was just nearby in a rented mansion. It was still early, but crowds of fans had gathered outside with some fans holding signs with their idols’ names on them.
When Grace saw Lily’s name, she felt a clunk in her chest.
Lily was going to be in today’s film.
The organizer had issued the play’s title that day, and she was planning to check it out. However, she forgot about it because of Jason’s arrival.
Grace felt a little regretful for not checking on the relevant details about the film that day.
However, she was only there as an extra today. She would not cross paths with Lily, so there might not be any trouble.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 212-Grace’s role today as an extra was to be a servant girl. All she had to do was to stand where the director wanted her to stand and keep her head low. There was a whole group of servant girls. They had to wait for the main characters to pass by them and kneel as directed by the director. Then, they had to grovel and say, ‘We wish you happiness and peace, Master and Madam’ As this was a kneeling scene, she would get extra money-50 dollars more, so 130 dollars in total.
‘I’ll just kneel then. It’s only a scene anyway. Even a famous star will have kneeling scenes. Besides, most of the time, when survival is a problem, the knees aren’t as important, thought Grace.
The extras’ makeup room was huge. There were several makeup artists as well as male and female extras in the room, all waiting for the makeup artists to apply their makeup.
The makeup artists worked very fast. One’s makeup could be done in only five to six minutes.
When it was Grace’s turn, the makeup artist was surprised. “You have a scar on your forehead!” Grace shivered for a little and answered her. It was on her forehead near the scalp, so no one could see it if they did not look closely.
It was a wound inflicted in prison that was not taken care of.
Grace knew why the makeup artist mentioned it. It was because all the servant girls had to comb their bangs flat today. The scar would then be visible.
“Does it matter? Can I still act as a servant girl?” she asked nervously. At first, she had been worried about Lily spiting her. Now, she was worried if she could keep her job as an extra.
“It’s all right, we’ll just cover it with a little bit of powder,” the makeup artist said and quickly finished Grace’s makeup.
Grace looked in the mirror and sure enough, she could not see her scar anymore.
When she stepped out of the huge room and waited for her turn, she saw a familiar figure coming her way.
It was not Lily, but Evelyn!
Grace was stunned. She did not expect that other than Lily, Evelyn was also part of the cast.
Evelyn looked like a diva who was being followed by several assistants. One was holding an umbrella; one holding her bag; one reading Evelyn her lines for today.
Evelyn paused in her steps and looked at her. At first, she was stunned. Then, a smile came over her lips as she walked up to Grace. “Why, are you here as an extra today?” Evelyn asked knowingly.
Grace was dressed as a servant girl in the film, and her costume revealed everything.
Grace looked at Evelyn, somewhat surprised. The Evelyn now was no longer a small C-lister. She looked as if she was an A-lister.
Evelyn had not changed into her costume. Looking at the fancy branded clothes and jewelry she was wearing, they were probably worth millions.
Grace did not think that Evelyn would use knockoff goods. After all, her younger sister was the proudest. If someone found her using knockoff goods, the humiliation was similar to taking Evelyn’s life.
“Yes,” Grace did not hide and responded with poise.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 213-After all, she was not stealing or robbing, she was only using labor to make money.
“If you want to be an extra, why didn’t you ask me then? I might even get you a few lines. You’ll make more money than being an extra.” As Evelyn said this, she deliberately raised her hand and stroked her hair to show off the fancy watch on her wrist.
Grace found Evelyn’s action a little funny. “I don’t think I’ll trick my older sister into being an escort just to have a few more lines.” “You…” Evelyn’s expression changed, knowing that Grace was mocking her for tricking her into escorting her assistant director. However, she seemed to immediately think of something. As she looked at Grace, she said, “Are you so short of money that you need to be an extra? Didn’t anyone give you any money? You have to earn this kind of hard money now?” “I’m not obliged to tell you.” Grace did not bother to talk to Evelyn. She directly walked past her and headed toward the place where extras were waiting for their turn.
Evelyn frowned and hesitated for a moment, then ordered the assistant beside her, “Check out that girl named Grace just now. What exactly is going on with her? How much does the person who introduced her to work here know about her? Find out everything. The more detailed, the better.” Was something going on between Jason and Grace? Evelyn speculated but was uncertain.
If the woman she saw Jason carrying to the car was really Grace, then there was no need for Grace to be an extra.
Grace was not someone keen on show business. If she lacked money, she could just ask Jason for it.
Besides, how much could an extra earn?
When Evelyn was having her makeup done, her assistant finally came back with the information and reported to her.
“What? She’s still working at the Sanitation Service Center? It was also a street cleaner from the Sanitation Service Center who introduced her here?” Evelyn said in disbelief.
“Yes, and Sidney said, according to the person who introduced her to work here, she was short of money and wanted to make some extra money or something,” the assistant replied.
Evelyn seemed to finally put down her heavy burden when she heard this.
By the look of things, Grace was not with Jason. Or rather, even if Grace had been with Jason once before, the two were clearly broken up now and no longer on good terms.
Otherwise, Grace would not need to be an extra to make money.
Earlier, she had been really worried that something was going on between Grace and Jason. If nothing was going on between them, then she did not have to worry anymore.
She remembered how she had lost her opportunity to be the leading lady and was forced to become a C-list actress all because Grace got sent to jail. She wanted to get a role, so she asked Grace to accompany the assistant director, but in the end, she was slapped by the assistant director.
Her journey to stardom got even more miserable after that.
Back then, she hoped that Grace could help her get a better role from her exboyfriend, Sean Stevens. However, Grace refused her with a straight face.
Grace just had to put down her pride for a moment and ask Sean Stevens to change her younger sister’s destiny, but Grace refused to do so.
If she had not met Brian afterward, Evelyn would never have been able to turn her life around.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 214-Evelyn had always felt uneasy at the thought of Brian. After all, up until now, Brian had not really ‘touched’ her.
Nevertheless, she was Brian’s official girlfriend now.
As for Grace, she would make her understand that everything in life was cyclical. Previously, she had asked Grace for help but got rejected. Now, she would make Grace understand what she had to pay for saying no!
The director got the extras to rehearse twice before the formal shooting. When they were rehearsing, Grace did not see Lily. Lily’s stand-in was representing her.
Evelyn did not let her stand-in represent her. Instead, she did it herself and stood next to the male lead.
Evelyn was the second female lead in this film. She was the male lead’s mistress and had a lot of scenes with Lily.
Brian had given Evelyn a few films to choose from, and she immediately chose this one.
Brian even said, “I thought you’d choose the ones where you can be the leading lady. You’ll only be the second female lead in this one.” “This drama’s a big production, the director’s a famous director, the male lead has won the best actor twice, and the female lead, Lily, is really popular right now. Even if I’m just the second female lead in the cast, it’s still better than being the female lead in other low-budget films,” she had replied.
However, only Evelyn knew that these were just excuses. The reason she joined the cast was just to show off to Lily.
Lily used to look down at her! When she went to Sean Stevens for a role, Lily treated her like trash.
Now, she wanted Lily to know that even if she was only a second female lead in this film, she could also overpower the female lead, Lily!
However, it was a surprise that Grace had come here as an extra!
It was a great pleasure to be able to show off in front of these two people.
After they finished the second rehearsal, the director was about to start filming when Evelyn suddenly said, “Director, I think they didn’t kneel orderly.” “Not orderly?” The director was stunned. He felt that it was alright. After all, they were only extras, so it was impossible for them to be completely uniform like soldiers.
“Yes, it’s not orderly. I think it’ll affect the scene. Why don’t they kneel a few more times and practice until it’s neater? I don’t mind practicing with them. After all, I just want a good scene!” Evelyn said as if she was a professional who was doing it for the film’s sake.
Although the director was confused at Evelyn’s sudden request, she was, after all, the entertainment industry prince’s new girlfriend. He could not offend her right now and could only try his best to meet her requirements.
Therefore, at the director’s command, the extras once again.
kneeled.
Grace, of course, kneeled and groveled with the others.
Evelyn was intentionally standing in front of her, making it seem that Grace was kneeling and groveling to her.
Grace knew that Evelyn was doing it intentionally, but now, it seemed that even the director was following Evelyn’s lead.
Unless she no longer wanted her part-time salary, she would have to obediently follow orders.
Thinking about how she still owed Lina her grandmother’s medical bills, Grace gnashed her teeth and forced herself to hold on.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 215-Although she knew that Lina would not urge her to pay back the money, she owed Lina enough already and could not keep on accumulating her debt.
Over and over, Grace knelt, groveled, and got up… This repeated again and again.
The other extras became increasingly agitated as well as they knelt over and over again. Some people even shouted for more money and that they should not trouble people like that.
The director saw the extras’ mood getting worse and worse, so he sent the assistant director over to ask Evelyn for her opinion.
Seeing this, Evelyn pretended to think before saying, “How about this? I think she did a great job. She has a good posture, and her timing is right. Why don’t she give a demonstration to the other extras so that the others can watch and learn? Once they’ve observed how to do it correctly, they can practice again. It’ll save us the effort.” It was Grace she was referring to.
“However, I don’t know whether this extra is willing to demonstrate for everyone. After all, she will be more tired than the others.” Evelyn looked like she had her best interest at heart.
“Why not? There’s no problem if we give her more money for it.” The assistant director was overjoyed. After all, it was better to trouble one extra than the entire crew of extras.
If so many extras went on strike, not only would it be difficult to find so many replacements at once, but it was also easy to cause a stir.
It was much easier to get one person to kneel and grovel.
Therefore, the assistant director asked Grace to come forward and asked her to demonstrate for an extra 200 dollars. If she was unwilling to do it, she would be considered as breaching the contract. That would mean that she would have to leave with zero bucks.
Grace looked at Evelyn who was standing only a few steps away. She found the smile on Evelyn’s face offensive.
She knew that Evelyn was doing it on purpose. Whatever demonstration Evelyn requested for was just to embarrass Grace. However, 330 dollars a day was a lot for her.
Besides, her knees had long been bent and she suffered plenty more humiliations in prison prior to this. To kneel and grovel was better than the torments she had suffered in prison.
Grace looked past the assistant director to meet Evelyn’s gaze. Then, she slowly smirked and affirmatively responded with four words, “All right, I’ll kneel!” Grace ran up to Evelyn with a calm look on her face. She was neither sad nor happy. She calmly asked Evelyn, “Shall I start the demonstration now?” “Ah… Yes!” Evelyn answered, stammering a little.
How could she react differently than she had expected? Grace should at least be mortified or unwilling.
Only in this way could she feel proud and show off in front of her.
Now, however, Grace’s deadpan demonstration of kneeling and groveling in a perfectly standard pose left no room for error. This also left Evelyn entirely without any sense of triumph.
This situation made it seem like Evelyn was the embarrassed one! ‘Well, since Grace is going to be a robot, I’ll let her kneel till kingdom come!’ Evelyn loathingly whispered in her heart.
Sitting in the air-conditioned room, Lily listened as her assistant described the situation of the shooting. Her assistant even filmed Grace kneeling with her mobile phone and handed it to Lily to look at.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 216-Watching the video of Grace kneeling, Lily unknowingly smirked. “Some people just want to die and others can’t stop them.” “Isn’t it? This extra seems to have offended Evelyn, which explains why she’s always getting picked on by Evelyn.
Everyone in the film crew knows that Evelyn can’t be offended…” As the assistant spoke, she found herself saying something she should not have.
Immediately, the assistant paled and said to Lily, “I’m sorry I said the wrong thing. This Evelyn is just flaunting her power by taking advantage of the fact that she is Master Hart’s girlfriend. Once Master Hart dumps her, let’s not even talk about the second female lead. She won’t even be qualified to be a fifth female lead!” Lily calmly said, “Alright, you don’t have to tell me that.” Evelyn had not given her a positive attitude since she joined the crew. Every time they met, they would find themselves in an argument.
Naturally, Lily knew that Evelyn was trying to strut her stuff in front of her to work off her feelings from before.
Lily certainly did not take Evelyn seriously. She was born in a small family but was lucky enough to attract Brian. However, it was well known in the high society that each and every one of Brian’s girlfriends had a short shelf life.
However, they still had no clue how many months she could remain as his girlfriend.
The more arrogant Evelyn was now, the more she would suffer in the future.
“The one who has a death wish is not the extra,” Lily said with great interest.
The assistant was surprised. It was not the extra? Then, was Lily talking about… Evelyn?!
However, Evelyn was just troubling this small-time extra, right? What background did this extra have that Evelyn could lose out?
The one backing Evelyn was the crown prince of the entertainment industry!
However, Lily did not bother to explain either. She just rewatched the video recorded by her assistant.
For Lily, such videos were a delight to watch.
After all, she did not like either Grace or Evelyn. Now that they were against each other, it was a good show for her!
She just did not know what Jason would do about Evelyn.
Perhaps without waiting for Brian and Evelyn to break up, Jason would have smashed her into smithereens. Lily felt more relaxed as she thought of this… After all, Jason never played by the rules.
Even though he was her sister’s fiancée, she could not help being afraid when she came face to face with that man.
That man was so unpredictable. He could smile at you one second and make you feel hell the next.
He could easily change the fate of others. Even a rich family like the Atkinson family dared not offend Jason.
She just did not know how long Jason would maintain his interest in Grace.
Thinking of this, Lily stood up and said, “All right, let’s go out and have a look. It would be a pity not to see it with our own eyes.” She walked out of the lounge as she spoke.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 217-Her assistant saw this and hurriedly followed her.
The weather was a little cool at the beginning of April. The male extras were doing well as there was room for more clothes in their costumes. However, for good effect, the director only allowed the female extras to wear some base clothes under the servant girls’ costume to avoid the women from appearing bulky.
Therefore, the female extras were all slightly shivering now. One after another, they put on their coats while they rested and just watched.
Only Grace, who was still in her costume, knelt and groveled over and over again.
As for Evelyn, since it was not an official shooting, she had been wearing a warm coat over her costume from the very beginning.
“Oh dear, I don’t know if they’ve watched you carefully. Why don’t you kneel again and slow down so that the others can watch more carefully,” Evelyn said to Grace again, not letting her finish her actions.
Grace looked at her coldly before calmly saying, “Sure!” After that, she knelt again.
At such time, it was more or less obvious to everyone there that Evelyn was just troubling her on purpose!
Evelyn just wanted to see Grace in pain, but Grace would not let her get it her way.
At the thought of this, Evelyn suddenly let go of her hand. A stove prop she had been holding in her hands slid straight out. All that was heard was a bang and a dull grunt of agony from Grace.
The copper stove hit Grace’s left hand as she was kneeling and groveling. If the stove prop was dropped slightly to the side, it would have hit Grace on the head!
Grace straightened up, feeling only a sharp pain on her left hand. When she looked at Evelyn, she saw a flash of triumph in her eyes. That had clearly been an intentional move.
In the next second, Evelyn’s expression changed to one of worry and apology.
She bent down and acted as if she was trying to help Grace up. “Sorry, I…” However, before she could finish speaking, a figure came rushing quickly and picked Grace up. “Are you all right? Is your hand all right?” Grace raised her eyes and saw that it was Brian who helped her up.
Evelyn was stunned to see Brian’s sudden appearance.
When… did he come from? Why was he holding Grace right now?!
Based on Evelyn’s understanding of Brian these days, she naturally knew that this man was by no means a compassionate man. He would not even try to help someone who was about to jump off a building in front of him, let alone help someone whose hand was hit.
Brian touched Grace’s smashed left hand as he spoke.
She gasped when he touched her finger. Her brows furrowed subconsciously, and a muffled cry of pain spilled out of her mouth.
Brian put on a poker face. In the next moment, he picked Grace up in his arms, and told the men who followed behind him, “Call the film crew’s doctor to the lounge.” “Brian!” Evelyn cried, confused by the scene before her.
She was his girlfriend! Why did he pick up Grace instead?
Brian just gave Evelyn a cold look and quickly walked toward the lounge with Grace in his arms.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 218-Everyone around was in an uproar while some looked at Evelyn sympathetically.
They were convinced that Evelyn’s shelf life as Brian’s girlfriend had reached its end.
The prince was more interested in that extra playing a servant girl!
Not far away, Lily, who was enjoying the show, was stunned. Grace and Brian?
What was going on here?
Was Brian also interested in Grace?
Brian clearly looked like he was trying to protect Grace!
What about Jason? Did he know about Brian and Grace’s relationship?
“Oh my God, what a turn of events. The prince and the extra…” her assistant beside her exclaimed and then sneered. “Evelyn has just hit a snag. The crown prince obviously hasn’t dumped her! Is it because she knows that the extra has something to do with the prince, so she deliberately pranked her?” The assistant guessed.
Lily, however, drooped her eyes and seemed to be thinking of something.
As for Evelyn who had been standing absent-mindedly where she was, she began to come back to her senses. With the sympathetic and mocking gazes around her, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face.
She was supposed to be popular, right? It was only right to have countless envious and jealous eyes focusing on her, right?
However, why was everyone looking at her as if they were looking at a clown?
It was as if all her glory had vanished in an instant. It was as if she was only a pitiful creature in their eyes now.
Evelyn was almost ready to scream that she was Brian’s real girlfriend.
However, she did not shout at all. She only left in a hurry with her face flushed.
The assistant director looked blankly at the director. “What… should we do?” How were they going to shoot the film today when Evelyn was, after all, the second female lead? Unfortunately, this was related to the prince.
Who would dare to get involved in this?
The director could only heave a heavy sigh and said, “Let’s shoot the scenes without Evelyn first!” What else could they do?
Grace was in pain and embarrassed when she was being carried to the lounge by Brian.
Her hand was in pain, and she was embarrassed because she was being carried.
The pain in her hand made it impossible for her to push him off. She could only say to him, “I hurt my hand, not my foot. I can walk on my own.” “I know,” he answered her lightly but kept on carrying her.
Grace was also a little speechless.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 219-It was only after entering the lounge that Brian placed Grace on the sofa.
Looking at her left hand that was gently covered by her right hand, he asked, “Does it hurt?” “A little,” she mumbled.
He looked at the pained expression on her face. He knew that she was understating it. Her face had always been peaceful and calm. She never used to furrow her brows and paled like she was now. She was even speaking with much difficulty.
Looking at her like this, his heart ached.
It was a strange feeling to him. When he saw her kneeling and groveling on the ground… When he saw the copper stove smashing against her hand… All of a sudden, he felt as if his heart was being whipped violently. It was extremely painful.
Then, almost reflexively, he rushed forward to help her up.
Why did he do that?
Brian had been in town before and proved that she was not the one he was looking for, but it was as if his emotions were still affected by her.
Was it because of her looks? Was it because she looked like the person he remembered, so he was emotionally affected even though he knew she was not the woman he was looking for?
It was not long before the film crew’s doctor arrived and rushed to give Grace a preliminary examination.
As the doctor’s hand touched the location of Grace’s injury and made sure that there was no problem with the bone, he intensified his gesture. Naturally, the pain Grace felt was severe.
Her teeth were firmly biting her lower lip, and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead emerged. She only nodded and shook her head to answer the doctor’s questions.
Finally, when the doctor was done examining her, she felt as if she was exhausted. There was cold sweat on her forehead and back.
“There’s nothing wrong with her bones. Just give her some medicine for the bruising, and rest this hand as much as possible for the time being. Don’t use it for any heavy lifting,” the doctor said. “If you’re still worried, you can go to the hospital and have another thorough examination.” After all, he was only the film crew’s staff doctor. He could easily deal with small injuries. There was nothing he could do about more serious injuries as he did not have any medical equipment here.
“All right. Thank you, doctor,” Grace said, finally relieved. If she did break a bone, she would not know what to do with her job at the Sanitation Service Center.
People with jobs like her could not afford a long vacation. There was no way the Sanitation Service Center was going to allow her to take a long sick leave.
After the doctor left, Brian said, “It might be all right, but you better go to the hospital for a check-up later.” “That’s all right. I’ll just run down to the pharmacy and get some medication for my bruising,” Grace said. “Thank you… for just now” Anyway, had he really picked her up and asked the film crew’s doctor to check her wound?
He frowned slightly. “What was that all about? Why were you kneeling and groveling?” Besides, she kept repeating those actions again and again!
Earlier, he saw her doing that when he came by. Only that time, he only saw her back and did not recognize her.
His visit to the set today was only an impulse to visit Evelyn at work. When he approached her at the set, he saw the copper stove prop falling on the extra’s hand. He only recognized the extra as Evelyn when that happened.
“Nothing. I knelt and groveled in the right way, so they made me kneel and grovel again to teach the other extras,” Grace said lightly.
Brian narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on her forehead. Before, he could not see clearly because her forehead had been bathed in a thin layer of sweat. Now that she had taken a tissue to wipe away the sweat from her forehead, he could see that there was a round red mark in the middle of her forehead
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 220-Obviously, it was caused by all the groveling.
“Seriously, you… You knelt because they asked you to?” He was inexplicably angry all of a sudden.
“Or what? Reject them? If I refuse, I will not get any money for being an extra today,” she said.
He choked. He knew that extras were the most vulnerable group in a film crew. They did not have any bargaining power. when choosing their jobs.
“How much money do you get a day as an extra?” His voice.
was muffled.
“80 dollars a day. Because there’s a kneeling scene today, they added 50 dollars. For demonstrating the correct way to kneel and grovel, they’ll give me another 200 dollars,” she said.
He glared at her. His thoughts were stirring in his head. In other words, she repeatedly knelt and groveled for only 330 dollars?
Did this woman not know how to protect herself?
“Do you have a problem with Evelyn?” He asked because he could see that she was making it difficult for her on purpose.
No one in the film crew dared to say anything. This was natural. Extras were never taken seriously. The film crew was full of clever people, so no one was going to offend Evelyn for an extra.
Because… the man behind Evelyn was him!
Thinking about this, Brian felt as if his chest was clogged. It made him feel suffocated.
“She’s my half-sister. As for whether there is a problem, there is, I guess. She has always felt that my imprisonment had ruined her future,” Grace said.
Even if she did not say this, with Brian’s ability, he could easily figure it out.
There was no need for her to hide it.
There was a slight surprise in his eyes. Though he roughly knew some things about Evelyn and knew that she had a sister from a different mother who did not live with her, he had not paid much attention to what her sister’s name was.
After all, he never actually cared much about Evelyn. It was only because Evelyn’s lips were shaped like the girl’s lips that he continued to keep her by his side.
However, it never occurred to him that the woman in front of him and Evelyn could be sisters.
Just then, the door of the lounge was pushed open. Evelyn, whom they had been talking about just minutes ago, entered. She looked very pale.
Evelyn looked at Grace who had gauze wrapped around her hand. She then looked at Brian who had his eyebrows furrowed together. He was staring at her disapprovingly. She quickly snuggled up to Brian, pretending to be guilty.
“Brian, thank you for taking care of my sister and letting Dr. Kwan check on her. I happened to meet Dr. Kwan when I was on my way here just now. I was relieved when he said her injury is nothing serious.” Then, Evelyn turned to Grace and said, “I’m so sorry, Sis. I didn’t hold the hand stove well, making it fall on your hand.” Grace calmly looked at her half-sister whom she had once treated with sincerity.
She had even wanted to pave the way for her sister’s acting career because she thought that they were family.
However, a car accident made her realize that she was just imagining things.
Then again, she did have an idea about how Evelyn was able to go from being a C-list actress to the second female lead of a big-budget film.
Even the director had to go along with her demanding requests.
