Chapter 435
Kate bolted over to Skylar the moment she saw her reappear on set. “What on earth happened to you? We are going to start filming soon, and you haven’t even changed! How could you have vanished just like that? Where did you and Largo go?” Kate demanded.
Skylar frowned. “How did you know that I was with Largo?”
Kate drew in a deep breath sharply, then exhaled, trying to contain her annoyance.” Avery was telling everyone that she couldn’t find Largo and came to harass us, believing that you were with him. She told everyone that Largo was her boyfriend too, so everyone thinks that Largo has been cheating on Avery with you.”
Skylar snorted derisively. “Let her tell all the lies that she wants. She has everything to lose. Anyway, there’ll be someone to pick up the pieces for her. Largo cares too much about his image to allow Avery to run wild with her delusions. He definitely won’t let this fly. We can sit back and wait for them to break up now.”
Kate was all too familiar with Largo’s ways of preserving his reputation. When he had burst out onto the acting scene, his fans had eagerly matchmade him with various female co-stars and celebrities. These pieces of gossip, however, were always rigorously denied and suppressed by Largo’s publicity team.
Skylar quickly donned the outfit set aside by the film crew for her next scene. The gown cost an extravagant sum of money and its intricate designs were entirely embroidered by hand. Lightly shimmering with every move that Skylar made, the gown looked fit for royalty.
Its measurements, on the other hand, were slightly on the small side. Even with Skylar sucking in her stomach, the gown would still be a little tight.
As Skylar was having the finishing touches done to her gown, the door flew open and Avery stormed in like a hurricane, blustering in her rage.
Kate jumped in fright at the abruptness of Avery’s entrance. In a similar fashion, Hannah, who was squatting next to Skylar arranging the hem of her gown, staggered and almost fell.
Avery was clutching her phone so hard that her knuckles had turned white. Her eyes blazing, Avery bellowed, “Why didn’t Largo answer any of my calls? You’re just as unscrupulous as your mother! You must have inherited her cheating nature.”
Avery’s deliberate insult to Miranda infuriated Skylar immensely. It was an unjust accusation, given that all Miranda had done was to get her man back rightfully after he had been snatched away from her. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Skylar was seething but quickly regained her composure. She put on her violet earrings without deigning to even glance at Avery’s angry face.
“Tell me, who’s going after your man? You came here looking for him, didn’t you? Where is he, then?” Skylar demanded.
Avery was so vexed by Skylar’s reply that she began quivering with rage. “You still haven’t gotten over Jeremy, have you? You’re still blaming me for him breaking up with you! Aren’t you trying to seduce Largo to get back at me?”
Skylar slowly turned to face Avery. Her memory of Jeremy seemed so vague like he was someone she had met in a previous life. There was no way Skylar would remember such a person if Avery did not bring his name up.
Ironically, the mention of Jeremy only served to as a reminder to Skylar on how she had completely gotten over him. Instead of hanging on to him, Skylar realized that she had thought of Jeremy for a very long time.
Skylar strode over to Avery, then said mockingly, “Thanks for the reminder. I’d forgotten all about that piece of trash. I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you and Largo were even in a serious relationship. I was so
caught up with his confession to me that I’d forgotten to ask.”
Avery stood rooted to the spot. Didn’t Largo say just the night before that he’d treat me well? She’d even persistently probed him as to when she could meet his family and announce their relationship.
It was unfathomable to Avery how Largo could make a headlong dash over to Skylar and profess his feelings for her the very next day. There was nothing in Avery’s life that Skylar would not rob her of—first the lead role, then her boyfriend
Skylar added provocatively, “I told him that there was no way he could get me to take my sister’s happiness away from her! Even though we aren’t usually on good terms, I wouldn’t go to such an extent to hurt you, at least for now.”
