Chapter 464
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline said merrily, âAll right!â
After hanging up the phone, she booked a reservation at a barbecue restaurant near the set. Then, at around 4:00 pm, she drove to Soniaâs set.
Since Caroline had informed Sonia of her plans in advance, Sonia asked her manager, Helena Copley, to meet up with Caroline when she arrived.
As the two walked to the film set, Helena said many nice things to Caroline. âThank you so much, Ms Evans Sonia would still be an unknown Dâlister if it hadnât been for you.â
Caroline smiled at her words. âThereâs no need to thank me like that. Sonia and I mutually benefited from this cooperation. Besides, if she had no real talent, she wouldnât have the fame she has now, even with my help.â
Helena scratched her head. âWell â¦â
Before she could finish her words, the two heard a slap from the film set.
Caroline looked at the source of the sound and saw Sonia, with disheveled hair and cheeks that were swollen from getting hit.
The person who hit her was none other than Daphne.
After the filming, Daphne told the director, âIâm sorry. I didnât handle my emotions right. Letâs do another take.â
The crew members could tell that Daphne was doing this on purpose. The director could see Daphneâs intentions as well, but since she was the wife of Eddyâs second uncle, he could only say, Okay, but Ms. Daphne, this is just an act. You donât have to hit her for real.â
âBut I canât get into the scene if I donât do it for real!â Daphne smiled innocently, without feeling a hint of guilt after hitting someone.
Caroline frowned at the sight. âWhat happened?â
Helena was already used to things like this. âDaphne is probably upset at Sonia for stealing the spotlight from her. So sheâs deliberately using this fight scene to give Sonia a lesson.â
Caroline looked at the director and asked, âWhy arenât they stopping her?â
âSheâs Mr. Eddyâs auntâinâlaw. No one would dare to say anythingâ
Helenaâs eyes were slightly red. She comforted Caroline. âSonia has been through a lot of hardships in her career, so getting slapped is nothing for her.â
Carolineâs expression darkened at her words. âThis isnât a hardship. Someone is deliberately humiliating her!â
Helena said, âMs. Evans, Iâm sure you donât often come to a filming set. In fact, this sort of thing happens all the time. Youâll get used to it.â
Caroline frowned. âNot everything that happens often is right. Since Daphne is using her work as a chance to hurt someone, sheâs in the wrong.â
Having said this, Caroline strode toward the set. Then, she blocked Daphneâs wrist before she could land another slap on Soniaâs swollen cheek.
Daphne became pissed and was about to curse at the newcomer. However, when she saw it was Caroline, her expression shifted.
She wasnât afraid of anyone on the set. After all, they were all in the same industry. If anyone dared to upset her, she had the power to ruin their chances of establishing themselves in the entertainment industry.
But Caroline wasnât from the entertainment industry, and she had the power to sway the publicâs opinion on something. If word about what happened today spread, there would definitely be an uproar.
Although Daphne had many ways to deal with this, as a celebrity, she knew how much backlash this would cause. For the sake of her fans, she endured her anger and reluctantly pulled her hand back.
Noticing this, Caroline smiled at Daphne and asked, âAre you that bad at acting, Ms. Daphne? You still havenât gotten it right after so many takes. Do you want to take a break?â
The anger that Daphne had just suppressed started to surge. âUgh! What does an outsider like you know, Caroline?â
Speaking of this, she looked at Sonia kneeling on the ground with contempt and said arrogantly,â
You may be able to save Sonia today.
âBut as long as the hype about her dies down, I can ban her from the industry with just a word. Do âOf course.â Caroline nodded Before Daphne could even smile, she heard Caroline say leisurely, âHowever, we may not be able to witness that. After all, you said that you canât ban her as long as she remains popular.
âSo Iâll make sure Soniaâs career in the entertainment industry will be everlasting.â Caroline spoke the most arrogant words in the calmest tone possible.
