My Three Darlings by Anonymous

Chapter 19

“Why not?”

Eliza looked really puzzled. “What did I do?”

The director glanced at her irritably. “I don’t know. It’s an order from the higher-ups. They said that you are not allowed to work as a stuntwoman anymore.”

“If you have time to ask me, why don’t you think about what you did to offend them?”

The director looked at Eliza disappointedly. “From today onwards, you can be a stand-in actress instead. Even though you’ll earn less from it, at least you’ll have more free time.”

“You can also take the opportunity to think about your mistakes!”

Eliza returned backstage with a gloomy face. Graciana comforted her, “Don’t be sad. working as a stand-in actress is not bad as well.” Stand-ins took the place of principal actors and they worked closely with camera setups. The weather was scorching hot. Standing under the sun, Eliza was sweating from head to toe.

As she stood like a mere prop in the background, she thought to herself, “Just who on earth is messing with me?”

“Madeleine or Jay?”

In the office of Valentine’s Group.

Matthew Valentine was sitting on the sofa with a smug expression on his face. “Uncle, don’t worry! I’ll take care of Eliza. You‘ve found the right person for the task!”

“I’ll make sure she doesn’t get hurt from work! Don’t worry, you won’t see new scars on her anymore!”

Beau was currently sitting on his office chair while studying the documents in his hands. He frowned and asked, “Matthew, are you familiar with Esme Lawson?”

“Yes, I‘ve met her before.”

While crossing his legs, Matthew sipped his tea while chuckling, “That woman tried to seduce me even though she has average looks. After I figured out her intentions, I didn’t attend any of her meetings anymore.”

“Set up an appointment with her.”

Beau flipped through the contract indifferently and said, “Tell her that we, the Valentines, will cut off half the funds allocated to the Lawsons.”

“You should also tell her that Eliza is now an official member of the Valentine family. Since they are still Eliza’s family, I am kind enough to only reduce the funds.”

“If something happens to Eliza ever again,” Beau said with malicious intent, “I will destroy Lawson’s Group myself.” Matthew was taken aback by his words. “Are you sure you’re letting them off the hook just like that? They did such horrible things to Eliza!”
