A Film Queen

Chapter 380

William, too, emitted a disdainful snort, standing behind Milly akin to a cockerel ruffled by injustice. “Some folk fail to discern their own flaws and relish sermonising.”

He harboured no fear of confrontation, unlike his superior. Even confronting a woman, he would fling insults without a moment’s hesitation. Having made his stance clear, he strode off with Milly, bearing himself as triumphantly as a peacock.

“You!!!” Hannah observed William staunchly defending Milly, her countenance flushing with ire. Traitor! She had treated him so well, yet he remained blind to it, aligning himself against her with an outsider!

Hmph, just you wait. Once I join the Tates, the first act I’ll undertake is to show William the door!

Dakota, who had been lurking in the shadows with her head ducked, found

herself at a loss. She earnestly desired to depart this place, especially with the tide audibly advancing-a prospect that unsettled her.

Stephanie felt a surge of gratitude. “Thank you, bro.”

Then, with a sigh heavy with resignation, she murmured, “Ah, Milly can be so headstrong. Our ensemble is meant to stand as one, and her solitary actions might spell adversity for the crew. The production team will be displeased.”

Matthew’s heart went out to her, witnessing her concern for others softening his resolve even further. “Stephanie, your compassion knows no bounds. But persisting thus, she may still exploit your generosity.”
