He squinted his eyes, staring intently at the woman with the pure smile.
Lately, he had been suppressing a rising anger within him, which seemed to be provoked every time he
saw Cicely’s smile. Even for a fleeting moment, he felt a dark emotion surging in his blood, darker than
gloominess.
Cicely waved at him with a smile, then lifted her wine glass. The bright light in the banquet hall reflected
a soft glow in her eyes.
Her pleasing smile was blinding.
Upon seeing Claud’s awkward expression, Cicely waved her hand saying “just a misunderstanding“,
then raised her wine glass and clinked it against Claud’s glass in a pleasing manner, “I’m sorry for the
misunderstanding. Cheers to you, don’t be mad.”
Her tone was full of appeasement. After all, suspecting a man of having a secret could really hurt his
pride. Most importantly, her future work would largely depend on Claud.
She put the wine glass to her red lips, emptied the champagne in one go, then withdrew the glass. As
her gaze shifted, she caught a glimpse of a man by the pool out of the corner of her eye.
Her movements paused for a moment, then she slightly turned her gaze and saw a woman walking
towards the man. She quickly averted her gaze, put down her wine glass, and looked at Claud, her
smile still as bright as ever.
Danielle gracefully took the man’s arm amid the admiring glances of others.
Seth stood tall and straight, his eyes slightly lowered, and he glanced casually at the woman who was
approaching him.
“Are you guys done talking?”
“Mm.”
Danielle’s face was full of radiant smiles, but her heart was in chaos. She didn’t know when it starfed,
but she always felt that the distance between this man and herself was getting farther and farther.
There seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between them. Although they had come a long way,
they never seemed to be able to truly get close to each other.
Now, the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther, just like the moving earth’s
crust, deepening and widening the chasm between them.
This feeling was terrifying. When did this start?
She looked at the smiling woman across the room, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Perhaps… it
started when she saw this woman released from jail. In her gaze, she saw the mixed shadows of Chloe
and Winston and another person she was not very familiar with.
Danielle lowered her head and gently tugged on the man’s arm. “Seth, let’s go say hi to Chloe and
Winston. The movie we’re working on is about to start/ shooting.”
Seth’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman across the room who was talking non–stop. A
sarcastic smile played at the corners of his mouth.
From the moment they met outside the hotel to now, for almost the entire evening, her gaze had never
lingered on him.
Instead, she was joking with a group of seemingly unimportant people, full of smiles.
Was he the one who agreed to let her work?
He lowered his gaze, submerging the bright lights and the woman’s smile in the depths of his eyes, and
responded lightly.
“Crysti, this is Quinn, the director of ‘The Gilded Circle‘. The role that Keira originally played and is now
vacant. Mr. Quinn thinks you’re perfect for it and would like you to take over.”
Crysti immediately greeted the middle–aged man next to her.
“I’m really honored, but am I really suitable for that role?” She hadn’t received the script yet and was
unsure whether she was a fit!
Quinn gave a bitter smile, “Actually, you were our first choice for the role, and the character’s name is
also your name. But at the time… Philip didn’t want you to play it, he recommended Keira instead, and
invested a lot of money… So we…”
“Philip didn’t want me to play?”
“When we first approached you, it was Philip who handled it, so…”
Quinn didn’t continue, but those who could understand naturally understood.
Crysti’s face instantly chilled at the thought of the arguments she had with Philip over him buying a role
for Keira, never suspecting that the role was originally hers.
He gave her role to Keira and invested a million dollars in it.
“Huh…”
Crysti sneered, feeling that her anger toward Philip was unstoppable.
She played in his drama, but her salary was not included in his budget. Her original endorsement fee,
appearance fee, and salary, except for necessary living expenses, were all saved as funds for his new
drama. And yet he interfered in this matter.
Chloe was indifferent. She just found out about this too, and other than a sneer, she didn’t feel much of
a ripple.
