A Film Queen

Chapter 387

In the depths of Stephanie’s mind, a sense of victory was growing as her plan neared completion. Even the dry bread she held seemed sweeter with the anticipation of success.

Hum,aren’t the Burnetts favoring Milly? Isn’t Bonnie rushing to secure her contract too? Let’s see if the disgraced Milly still holds their loyalty!

Stephanie’s eyes flickered with a brief hint of resentment. As she glanced at the camera with the flashing red light, she immediately looked like being overtaken by a wave of concern. “How is Milly faring among those steep cliffs and crags? I hope nothing terrible happens to her.” With a practiced flourish, she finished her statement with a display of fake tears.

Meanwhile, Matthew, frail and worn, was suffering the consequences of his own chivalry. The night before, when Stephanie mentioned feeling cold, he had offered her his warm clothes. Now, he was suffering from a high fever. Yet, seeing Stephanie’s remorseful expression, he gently reassured her, “Dear Stephanie, don’t worry. She’ll be fine…”

Stephanie, still putting on a guilty face, murmured, “If only I had stopped her! We could have all helped each other. Milly won’t last long on her own.”

There was a hint of smugness in her tone as she felt confident in her performance, believing it would shape her image as gracious and virtuous. She imagined she would win over a new wave of admirers. After all, her image of kindness today and Milly’s aggressiveness yesterday were in stark contrast. If she could surpass Milly in the entertainment circle, she would be able to make Milly tortured greatly without the Lloyds’ help. She really wondered if the Burnetts would regret lavishing attention on Milly but neglecting her instead.

But if she had her phone in hands now, her daydream would be abruptly interrupted by the harsh reality unfolding on her phone screen.
