Chapter 1570:
Tiffany strolled in, completely at ease. A smirk tugged at the corners of her mouth as she replied, âNo. This time, I was the one doing the bullying.â
Her smile was a rare sight that stunned Clint. He hadnât seen her so lighthearted and carefree in what felt like an eternity.
âWould you like to hold Felix?â Clint took another step closer with Felix in his arms.
âAlright.â
Tiffanyâs face lit up with a bright smile. Teasing Felix playfully, she reached out, taking him from Clintâs arms.
The moment their fingers brushed, they froze. But just as quickly as it had happened, they shook it off and continued as if nothing had happened.
Clint watched Tiffany, a quiet satisfaction settling in his chest. He couldnât help itâthe corners of his lips lifted into a subtle smile. She was finally letting go of the weight she had carried for far too long.
Clintâs subtle expressions, paired with the fleeting smile that danced across his lips, were so mesmerizing that Tiffany found it impossible to look away. She had seen her fair share of handsome men, but even if Brenton and Rhys were standing right there, she knew her gaze would still be locked on Clint.
âWhere is Harlee?â Clint asked.
Tiffany didnât bother looking up. She gently rocked Felixâs tiny hand in hers, her voice calm as she replied, âShe said she had something to take care of.â
That meant they were alone, right? Clintâs heart did a little victory lap. They had been working on the same set for a while, but it had been at least three or four years since they had sat together like thisâjust the two of them.

It was clear that in Clintâs eyes, Felix was nothing more than a convenient excuse to hold Tiffanyâs attention.
If Felix had any idea what was going on, he would probably be too stunned to speak.
Meanwhile, in the top-floor office of Star Entertainment, Devonte crushed his half-smoked cigar into the ashtray with a forceful grind.
âDamn it!â
He clenched his fist and slammed it onto the desk with a muffled thud, as if he were trying to crush Tiffany right then and there. His chest heaved, his breath ragged with fury. The fire in his dark eyes could have set the whole office ablaze.
As soon as Devonte learned that Tiffany had spoken disrespectfully and even threatened him, the satisfaction of earning her penalty charge evaporated.
âWhat else did she say?â he asked, his expression instantly darkening.
Visibly shaken by his fury, Moira stumbled over her words.
âShe⦠She also said she doesnât need to wait three months. Tomorrow⦠Tomorrow, sheâll personally come to terminate her contract with you.â
After saying that, Moira swallowed hard and took a shaky step back. She had just left the hospital and had no desire to return.
Devonteâs voice remained cold and measured as he asked, âIs that all?â
âYes⦠Thatâs all she said. Oh, and I overheard some of the studio staff mentioning that the woman who showed up later is from the Sanderson family. Tiffany is probably going to sign with Meta Media.â
Moiraâs voice was laced with resentment, and her eyes darkened with venom. Even she couldnât land a job at Meta Media. Yet, a nobody from the countryside like Tiffany likely got signed by them? That was something she couldnât swallow.
Devonte saw the situation more clearly than Moira did. If this were just about a contract with Meta Media, Tiffany wouldnât have the nerve to defy him like this. She must know too many of his secrets. If Tiffany really had ties to the Sanderson family, this could quickly spiral into something far beyond his control.
