Clive took a thoughtful sip of his wine, pondering silently for a moment.
Corrine surveyed the pair curiously and asked, Could someone enlighten me about Rita? Is she a new name in the music scene? Clive cast a cautious glance at Tilda, hesitant to voice his thoughts.
As Tilda refilled their glasses, she spoke with unguarded candor.
Rita isnt merely a newcomer in the music industry; shes a crafty woman, feigning innocence while she maneuvers to steal my husband.
Clive almost sputtered on his wine at her revelation.
He quickly swallowed, coughing to clear his throat. Tilda handed him a napkin.
Clive accepted it, observing her composed demeanor, thinking to himself that Tilda was indeed straightforward and unabashed.
At the last gathering, anyone could see that Tilda, as Lyndons wife, was not someone to be trifled with.
Yet, she had still allowed Rita to sing, which led him to believe that Tilda did not see her as a threat.
However, now, something had shifted in Tildas stance.
Clive wondered if Lyndon, who adored his wife deeply, would be displeased by Tildas sudden choice to replace Rita.
Corrine was concerned that Rita had been captivated by Lyndons charming words, unaware of the reality-that he was married-much like how she had once been misled by a man.
Yet, the truth was that Rita had ulterior motives.
She knows that Lyndon is married, Tilda said, her tone even.
With Clive present, she avoided revealing that Scarlet was using Rita as a pawn.
Urgh, its disgraceful to knowingly interfere in a relationship, Corrine remarked, her voice firm as she turned to Clive. Mr.
Shaw, please grant Tildas request.
I believe my fame will draw more attention to the TV series than a newcomers would.
Despite having almost been drawn into a situation as a mistress herself, Corrine held a deep disdain for those who tore families apart.
When she had uncovered the truth about the man who deceived her, she hadnt hesitated to expose him, cutting all ties without looking back.
It would be a great honor to have you perform for the series, Clive said with a warm smile.
