Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 231

The show's reshoot began, and it didn't take long for Abby to notice something different about Serena.

She still looked as nonchalant as ever, but whenever a question came up, there was a spark of challenge in her eyes-a glint that made her entire presence shine.

It was as if a pearl had finally revealed its dazzling luster.

Even the crew behind the monitors exchanged astonished looks.

After Serena answered ten questions correctly in a row, the other three contestants on stage realized she was far from just a pretty face.

She was smart—and strikingly beautiful.

None of them dared to underestimate her now.

They brought their A-game, ready for anything.

The stage instantly became a four-way battlefield-leaving Cynthia Lynwood standing awkwardly off to the side, not quite sure what to do with herself.

Cynthia was close to hating Serena at this point.

But on camera, she could only keep smiling.

By the end of the shoot, Cynthia's forced smile felt practically glued to her face.

She was so irritated that she stormed downstairs without even saying goodbye to the director.

Everyone else was still caught up in Serena's stellar performance, so nobody really noticed Cynthia slipping away.

"Serena, you were amazing!" Abby was the happiest of them all.
