Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 141 More to It Than Meets the Eye

Megan’s words made Percival sneer. “Mind your own business. You have no right to interfere in other people’s affairs.”

He turned and walked away, leaving Megan standing on her spot. Her hatred toward Erin increased right that instant. She continued to stare at Erin’s disappearing figure and made no move to leave.

May glanced at her and advised, “Don’t be angry, Megan. That’s just how my cousin is. Don’t stoop to her level. Although she’s my cousin. I have to admit, she’s really promiscuous. Any man can have her! I even suspect that her ex–husband divorced her because of her relationship with Chandler-

This statement immediately caught Megan’s full attention. She hurriedly asked, “Who?”

May shrugged. “Chandler Frost, the president of Frost Corporation, the Azores tycoon, and the eldest heir of the Frost family. Haven’t you heard of him, Megan?”

Megan rolled her eyes. “Of course, I’ve heard of him! Who hasn’t heard of Chandler Frost? Are you insulting me?”

“I’m sorry, Megan. I didn’t mean it that way-” May explained nervously.

“Don’t be scared, May. I have no ill intentions. Let’s go, tell me all about the relationship between Erin and Chandler.” Megan reached out to hold May’s arm like they were true sisters.

May looked at the peerless beauty she usually only saw on screens. She was now treating her like a friend. This made her feel a wave of excitement in her heart. When Liliana found her, May could hardly believe it. Megan suddenly approaching made her eager to spill all of

Erin’s secrets.

“Chandler used to be Erin’s boss. But privately, she’s Chandler’s plaything. I heard with my own ears that one time she was crying and screaming in his room. She even ended up in the hospital-”

Two hours later, the filming of the movie began in full swing. The shooting went relatively smoothly.

Roman and Matthew went out to film a hunting scene, while Erin continued to practice a fight scene under the guidance of a fight coordinator for tomorrow’s shoot. Since Erin hadn’t trained in combat before, she couldn’t immediately learn complex fight moves. So, the fight coordinator taught her visually deceptive actions that were easy to learn and perform. Combined with CGI that would be added later on, the scenes would look impressive.

After practicing for half an hour, the fight coordinator told Erin to take a break.

Erin planned to go back to Roman’s dressing room to grab some food. Practicing fight scenes was physically exhausting, and she was

starving.

When she arrived at the dressing room, within five minutes, Hank came to find her. He knocked on the door and entered the dressing room. Then, he gently closed the door and approached Erin.

He whispered, “Miss Lane, someone asked me to deliver this note to you. After reading it, you should destroy it.”
