Before eighteen, Cooper was a tender and kind-hearted man who was polite to others and loved Annabel as well as his cats and tortoises.
However, after witnessing the woman he loved being burned to death right before his eyes while he was powerless to save her, he transformed into an indifferent and ruthless man. Since then, he was no longer the young man who would take care of the Fletcher kids.
It was late into the night when Michael was done telling the tales of his time catching fish and crabs with Cooper.
The next morning, Sophia was energetic as she followed Michael to the production site.
She remained a walk-on who would occasionally show her body parts in the drama. When she came across Nicole again, she didnât even know how to thank her.
Certainly, Cooper never expected that there was a woman called Nicole who still admired him secretly.
With so many secret admirers, he probably didnât even remember Nicole. Perhaps, he might even be married with children of his own, then Nicoleâs love for him would turn out to be a disappointment in that case.
The day before, Sophia did the deed with Michael and managed to get the supporting actressesâ part in the drama removed. Therefore, they didnât dare make a fuss now. However, they had figured out the culprit who made them lose their part.
âSophia!â
Finally knowing Sophiaâs name, Olivia and the other supporting actresses surrounded Sophia, who was buying two bottles of water from a kiosk.
With the bottles in her hands, Sophia understood that they had found out that it was her doing. âHi.
Whatâs the matter?â
Confronted by Michaelâs cousin, Sophia was acting all reserved, for she didnât want Michael to feel troubled should things turn ugly.
Olivia directly slapped away her bottles of water and snarled, âYou slept with the director and told him to cut our part in the drama, right?â
Elizabeth was the directorâs favorite actress, and Olivia was Elizabethâs niece, so the director was in favor of Olivia. After helping her get into the industry, he directly gave her the supporting role in such a blockbuster drama.
Unexpectedly, the director, who was biased toward her, would remove her part in the drama. Upon Xylaâs reminder, she believed that Sophia must have slept with the director.
Sophia took a look at the elated Xyla behind Olivia and the other supporting actresses. Xyla remains the same. She would incite others to make a scene while she stays on the side and tries to gain benefits for herself secretly.
Seeing that Sophia was remaining silent, one actress angrily pulled away the scarf on Sophiaâs neck. Itâs so suspicious that sheâs wearing a scarf on such a hot day! As expected, the kiss marks on Sophiaâs neck were exposed right before their eyes. She didnât have these kiss marks two days ago. She must have slept with the director!
Seeing the kiss marks, Olivia gasped. I have underestimated this slut! Then, she pointed at Sophia and growled, âWhat a slut! Do you think you can do whatever you want and replace me after sleeping with the director? Dream on! Wait right here. Iâll kick you out of the set soon!â I, Olivia, totally can do that!
With that, she turned to leave in a fury while the other actresses were gleeful.
Nobody on the set had the guts to offend Olivia because she was Elizabethâs niece as well as Taylorâs cousin.
After the actresses left with Olivia joyfully, Xyla remained on the spot and stared at Sophia with an exhilarated expression. âWell, I didnât expect that Taylor bought you off to be his housekeeper.â Xylaâs voice was filled with coldness and extreme disdain. I canât believe that I have lost to a housekeeper like her!
Without responding to her, Sophia picked up the bottles of water from the ground and returned to the production site. Xyla followed her and mocked her coldly, âYou thought you could be successful with the help of Taylor, but you didnât understand that youâre just a nobody! Youâre just a slut with little to no importance!â
However, Sophia totally ignored her vicious words as she looked anxiously in the direction where Olivia left. Sheâs going to make a complaint to Michael! The idea made Sophia nervous, for she wasnât sure who Michael would side with.
She slept with Michael in exchange for the removal of Oliviaâs part. What if he denied it after the sex?
Well, if he really denies it, Iâll just sleep with him one more time to settle the issueâ¦
As Sophia paced around outside the production site in anxiety, she watched Olivia approaching Michael.
Xyla knew that Sophia would be flustered, and she believed that she had seen through the latterâs true colors. Sheâs just a slut whoâs managed to move into Taylorâs house as the housekeeper. Behind Taylorâs back, sheâs taken advantage of his fame and fooled everyone that sheâs also a prestigious woman herself.
Sheâs told lies like she has married a rich man, and her husband has donated money to a school. Iâm sure she has never expected that Olivia has found out her secret and is going to expose her lies! Taylor, who is the real prestigious man, is going to kick this slut out of here! I must watch her be expelled from the set!
Meanwhile, Olivia reached Taylor and started making a complaint in anger. Sophia, on the other hand, didnât dare go near them as she paced around in anxiety.
Xyla deliberately shouted, âIâve told Richard to come over to watch your lies being exposed and you getting kicked out of the set. Go back to your gutter!â
Ignoring her, Sophia stared fixedly at Michael as she waited for his response in uneasiness.
âTaylor, you have to stand up for me⦠Your haughty housekeeper is bullying others on the set using her relationship with you. You have to do something, Taylor!â Olivia feigned a sob as she spoke. âSheâs lying and bullying others behind your back. Such a housekeeper will bring trouble to you one day!â
Michael was reading his script with a frown and didnât pay attention to Olivia. Obviously, he had guessed she was trying to get him to kick Sophia out of the set because she had bullied her.
However, her request put him in a difficult situation, for he had always wanted Sophia to show off their relationship. This way, at least it could prove that he was useful. Moreover, he didnât think it was appropriate to kick his wife out of the set.
This surprised him quite a lot, for he never expected Sophia to be this lively when he wasnât paying attention to her.
