Elaineâs voice grew colder as she continued, âI know youâre counting on me to put on a rivalry show.
You are counting on me to win a prize with this film, but have you ever thought about whether you have the capability for that, Cecilia? Youâre just a worthless woman.
You donât deserve Markâs love.
â
Cecilia had no intention of being polite with Elaine.
âWhether I deserve it or not isnât up to you, and your petty schemes wonât change that.
â
Cecilia paused and added softly, âAs for the prize, letâs see whose abilities come out on top.
â
Elaine was about to say more, but her phone rang.
After answering, her complexion turned ashen, and her lips quivered.
Cecilia read Elaineâs emotions like an open book.
Rena must have sprung into action.
Cecilia, once inside the car, quickly checked Twitter and wasnât surprised by the currently hottest topicââNew Actressâ Past Ties with Coal Tycoon Revealed.

She tapped the link; it led to a suggestive article with a photo of Elaine and Chandler, their hands intertwined, clearly enjoying each otherâs company.
Her assistant leaned closer, whispering, âPeople arenât focusing on you right now.
Rumor has it Chandlerâs wife and her four brothers are in Duefron.
Sheâs out for blood.

Her assistant added with a hint of mischief, âWord is Chandlerâs riches came from his wife.
â
Cecilia shot Rena a quick message.
âYouâre a lifesaver, Rena.

She turned off her phoneâs screen and instructed the driver to get moving.
Just then, Elaine rushed over, rapping urgently on the car window.
Cecilia lowered it slightly, raising an eyebrow.
âYes?â
Elaine might have been a lot of things, but she wasnât clueless.
She had a hunch that while Cecilia might not be directly responsible, she wasnât entirely innocent either.
In a desperate plea, Elaineâs voice wavered, âMiss Fowler, can you let this slide?â
Cecilia just stared at her for what seemed like forever.
Then, with a hint of a smile, she said, âItâs too late.
And you actually asked for it.
