Chapter 1476:
âIâm not crying,â Tiffany insisted, forcing a bright smile through her trembling lips.
âIâm just a little overwhelmed to see you here on set, thatâs all.â
Yvonne stood off to the side, watching Tiffany interact with Harlee, her eyes narrowing with obvious disdain. She clicked her tongue when spotting the work badge on Harleeâs clothes. How could Tiffany, with her stature as a leading actress, be associated with a mere staff member? If anyone found out, Tiffany would surely be laughed at.
Harlee slowly turned her eyes toward Yvonne, her expression betraying nothing. Her smile disappeared, leaving behind only a cold, unyielding look.
Yvonne stiffened under Harleeâs intense gaze, her eyes skittering away awkwardly. She clenched her hands by her sides, frustration boiling inside. Damn it! How could this woman radiate such a commanding presence?
Harleeâs face darkened, her eyes narrowing with a sharpness that made Yvonne squirm. She posed a question to Tiffany.
âAnd who exactly is this? Whatâs she doing in your dressing room?â
Tiffany glanced at Yvonne before answering, keeping her explanation brief.
âThis is Yvonne Ramsey, the second female lead. She came by because she thinks I got my own dressing room by currying favor with Clint. So, she came here to confront me.â
Harleeâs eyes took a slow, deliberate measure of Yvonne. Yvonne was dressed head to toe in designer labels, a diamond ring sparkling on her finger, her perfume⦠heavy in the air.
Every inch of Yvonne was carefully put together, and her makeup was flawless. The air around her seemed heavy with her self-importance.

Harlee snorted. How could she not know what the second female lead in her script was like? As for this dressing room, it had been set up for Tiffany by Harlee. It was an honor not even Clint enjoyed. The nerve of someone thinking they had a right to it.
Harleeâs lips curled into a subtle, almost imperceptible smile. Her voice, however, was chilling when addressing Yvonne.
âDo you really think the female lead doesnât deserve her own dressing room, but you do?â
Yvonne was simply consumed with jealousy over Tiffanyâs privileges and was looking for any excuse to stir the pot. Putting aside whether or not the female lead deserved a dressing room, Tiffanyâs position in the entertainment world certainly warranted one. But Yvonne couldnât swallow the fact that Clint seemed to have a soft spot for Tiffany. That was why Yvonne had gone out of her way to create drama. Yvonne was sure Tiffany wouldnât make a big deal out of this.
Originally, Yvonne had only intended to deflate Tiffanyâs self-esteem and make her back off from any notions of getting involved with Clint. But then, Harlee unexpectedly appeared.
Yvonne felt a jolt of unease, but when she noticed Harleeâs work badge, her confidence was quickly restored.
However, to maintain her image as the sweet and innocent one in the industry, Yvonne still played her part.
âI didnât say Tiffany doesnât deserve a dressing room. What I meant was that this particular one is far too spacious and could be shared by everyone on set. Youâre probably new here, and you might not understand the work environment, but all of usâactors, directors, and crew members alikeâare working non-stop. Thatâs why I thought it would be best if Tiffany would be willing to share. Instead, she insisted this dressing room was just for her, and the rest of us werenât âentitled enoughâ to use it. And that really frustrated me.â
With these words, Yvonne tried to shift the blame entirely onto Tiffany. Yvonne painted herself as kind while casting Tiffany as selfish and unreasonable, which supposedly justified Yvonneâs outburst. Initially, Yvonne hadnât planned to admit having said those words, but Harleeâs sudden arrival made her think twice. Fearing that Harlee mightâve overheard, Yvonne reluctantly acknowledged what had happened.
Harlee maintained her poker face. The coldness in her eyes gradually turned into something far sharper, an almost ruthless edge. Her gaze zeroed in on Yvonne, and with slow deliberation, she asked, âAre you this self-righteous?â
