Lorelei’s eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction. She knew that the investment of these two men had little to do with her, but she enjoyed listening to their flattery, even if it was insincere.
The people around them started teasing, “Both Mr. Burns and Mr. Snearl are very good to you. If you ever want to get married, you won’t have a good selection.”
“I think Mr. Snearl is better. After all, he is the official heir,” Lorelei said.
“Mr. Burns is not bad either.”
Lorelei pretended to be shy, “What are you all saying? I have only met them, not familiar with them.” She was telling the truth, but with her eyes shining with false modesty, people thought she was lying out of shyness.
“Lorelei, being shy? I think it’s better to choose someone considerate. It’s said that Mr. Burns was very good to his ex-wife. He even bought an island named Elisa Island and built an amusement park for her. It’s really admirable. I’ve read news about Mr. Burns’ ex-wife. Her family went bankrupt and she suffered from mental illness, but Mr. Burns never left her. Where can we find such a good man? If he likes someone, he will definitely spoil them rotten.”
While others were making a fuss, Elisa sat quietly on the side, texting and reading the script.
When she heard “Hamish will definitely spoil someone rotten,” her fingertips paused slightly.
This statement was not wrong. Hamish indeed liked to spoil people “rotten.”
A group of gossip-loving people quickly changed the subject from Lorelei to Hamish’s ex-wife.
“Hamish’s deceased ex-wife was also named Elisa, right?”
“You and Hamish’s ex-wife share the same name.”
The people at the table involuntarily looked in the same direction, and Elisa had to lift her head. “Isn’t it normal for there to be two people with the same name in the world?”
“Is Elisa your stage name?” someone asked.
“My stage name was chosen by the company, it has nothing to do with me,” Elisa casually shifted the blame to the company.
Information about her previous life had been completely erased from the internet, and apart from “Elisa Island,” nothing could be found about that “Elisa.”
Elisa had also been a hot topic in her previous life, either publicly admitting to being a third party or suffering from mental illness. In any case, it was not a good reputation.
“Aren’t you going to eat, Elisa?”
“I’m already full.”
One of the basic qualities of actors is to manage their figures. In fact, none of the people at the table had eaten much, the male actors ate more, but they also burned it off quickly, and they all had the habit of exercising.
Elisa had a good appetite in this life because she didn’t have a stomach illness. She made sure to eat her fill at every meal, but in such situations, she really had no appetite, especially after hearing that Finn and Hamish had become investors in this drama. It was enough to make her lose her appetite.
When you want to avoid someone, you can’t seem to, but when you want to see them, they’re as elusive as a bandage.
She had tried to stay away from them as much as possible, but she was no match for the whims of the wealthy.
Elisa had no idea what these two were hiding, but it certainly wasn’t anything good. Whenever they were involved, it was always a battlefield, and she was always the one who suffered.
While appearing to be playing on her phone, Elisa’s mind was already elsewhere. She was thinking about how to deal with these two.
She knew about Hamish, knew that he couldn’t harm her, but Finn, she really couldn’t understand him.
She had memories of “Aoife,” and her only opinion of him was that he wasn’t the same as Hamish. Birds of a feather flock together, and scum is engraved in the bones.
Elisa never deluded herself into thinking that Finn using “Aoife” as her substitute meant that he liked her. People like him and Hamish, to put it nicely, lacked love, to put it bluntly, were selfish-they only loved themselves.
What had crushed Aoife wasn’t just the endless online abuse, the departure and criticism from fans, but also the fact that Finn had casually handed her over to Hamish as if she were a plaything.
Initially, Finn had cultivated “Aoife” to keep Hamish in check.
If he now discovered that the original soul of this body had disappeared, would he feel a twinge of regret? Or perhaps, if he found out that the real Elisa had returned, would he act as he did in the past…
Elisa suddenly clenched herhands, her fingertips digging deep into her palms.
She couldn’t let Finn discover this secret for the time being.
…
Due to the involvement of Finn and Hamish in the production, Elisa had been restless. She had disturbing nightmares at night, and only Louis’s messages could brighten her mood even a little.
Elisa had been on guard, fearing that these two might suddenly appear on set, but such a thing was impossible to guard against.
In the early stages, Elisa’s scenes mainly focused on outdoor settings-riding horses, archery, and battlefield scenes. There were few emotional scenes. She developed a bond with the young emperor in the camp, and when the emperor thought he was dealing with a eunuch, he discovered her true gender, leading to a subtle romance.
