He had set his eyes on the script of ‘Serena’ three years ago, and the lack of investors had delayed the production until now. He couldn’t afford any more delays.
Suddenly, the words Evelyn had said, “What’s the point of idolizing others? Strive to become someone else’s idol,” echoed in Quetzal’s head. The voice lingered, leaving a lasting impression.
She lifted her head, and her gaze suddenly became determined. It was just giving a foot massage.
Quetzal slowly bent down, and at the moment her knees bent, a slender hand supported her waist, lifting her up.
Turning around, Quetzal’s eyes instantly sparkled, “Evelyn!”
Today, Evelyn wore a black long dress with a pearl button at the neckline and a fine lace tied around her waist. It accentuated her naturally gorgeous and charming appearance, adding a touch of innate elegance and grace.
The jealousy between women is often quite straightforward. Just based on Evelyn’s naturally beautiful face, it fueled Yara’s envy.
“What? You want to do it for her?” Yara said, extending her foot forward.
“Don’t go too far.” Quetzal swiftly stood in front of Evelyn.
Evelyn looked at Yara’s feet, “Your feet are really beautiful. It’s a shame not to soak them in a milk bath.”
Yara rolled her eyes, brimming with superiority. Before she could revel in it, there was a “whoosh” sound, and a wave of heat surged up from her feet.
“Ah!” Yara screamed and jumped up.
The air was filled with the scent of milk.
Watching the slight red mark on Yara’s instep, Evelyn seemed a bit regretful. She lazily remarked, “Too bad, the milk is no longer hot.” Implicitly, it seemed like she was saying, “Too bad, it didn’t scald you to death.”
Yara became agitated, “You dare to plot against me? Do you know who is supporting me? As long as I say the word, the funding for the entire crew can be cut off at any time. Now, kneel down and apologize to me, or everyone will suffer together.”
People who were just bystanders a moment ago suddenly panicked. The way they looked at Evelyn and Quetzal now carried a hint of reproach.
Seeing the director approaching with a gloomy expression, Quetzal’s eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, “Evelyn, don’t mind her. I can give up this role.”
Evelyn looked indifferent, turned her head, and glanced at Quetzal. “Wasted. Next time, I’ll buy it for you.”
Quetzal hesitated for a while before realizing that Evelyn was referring to the cup of milk.
However, with just that sentence, Quetzal inexplicably felt relieved.
“Quetzal, apologize,” the director said with a helpless tone, looking at Quetzal with pity. Whenever the topic of funding was mentioned, it felt like his lifeline was being squeezed.
The staff nearby also joined in urging her.
“It’s not easy for everyone to earn a living. Just because of you, so many people may lose their jobs. Do you have any conscience?”
“Yeah, apologize quickly. Many actors haven’t rehearsed yet. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”
“Hurry up, what are you waiting for?”
Quetzal kept her head down without responding.
Evelyn sneered, “She won’t apologize.”
Yara, cleaning the stains from her feet, spoke mockingly, “So stubborn?”
“Oh, director, I guess this person might be eyeing the ‘Serena’ project. Waiting for my backer to withdraw the investment, so she can invest a large sum of money for you.”
Then, she turned to her assistant, “Where is my phone?”
“Yara, everything can be discussed. Calm down first,” the director approached.
During his approach, a phone call was already connected. People could vaguely hear a greasy voice on the other end saying, “Baby.”
Yara immediately appeared teary-eyed, portraying her situation on the set as pitiable. The person on the other end comforted her for a few moments before hanging up.
Immediately afterward, the director’s phone rang. It was the man who had just called, and after a barrage of angry insults towards the director, he promptly withdrew all the funds.
The director glanced at Quetzal but didn’t show any sign of blame. It was Quetzal who, feeling guilty, tugged at Evelyn’s sleeve.
Evelyn had a smile on her lips while chatting with Gavin on the phone. Yara’s words were partly correct, she indeed had her eyes on the ‘Serena’ project. Knowing it would eventually bring significant profits, why not invest in it herself?
Yara directed her assistant to pack up, and the atmosphere in the scene became increasingly tense. Observing Quetzal and then looking at Evelyn, who was dressed appropriately but without a recognizable brand, the onlookers couldn’t help but show disdain.
“She has the capital to invest in ‘Serena’?”
“What is this? She alone ruined it for all of us, making us sick.”
“It should be called repaying kindness with enmity. I even took care of her before because she looked young.”
