Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 834 Almost Filled with Betrayal

Selena just kept quiet. Listening to Ronald spill his guts, she finally got why he was so against tying the knot.

Dude's idea of marriage was all about getting stabbed in the back.

"Ronald, Sophia's a big-time movie star now. Down the road, I'll cook up some juicy scandals for her. You cool with that?" Selena asked. "Every artist's gotta deal with that." Ronald's voice was cold as ice. "If she can't handle it, she should bounce from this biz early." Sophia, who had just walked in, caught those words.

Her fingers brushed the doorknob, and she froze.

Not wanting to get caught, she quickly ducked behind the wall. After calming her racing heart, she put on a smile and walked in.

"Ronald, Ms. Fair, you guys done chatting? I forgot something." She pointed at her phone, snatched it up, and waved. "I'll be good on set now. I'll leave this to you. Sorry, no matter how much that supporting actress slaps me, I won't hit back." With that, she bolted before they could say anything.

Neither of them knew Sophia had overheard their convo.

Sophia had left her phone behind because she was all flustered after kissing Ronald and had hung around the lobby for a bit before realizing it.
