Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 33

Chapter 33

To everyone else, it looked like Ophelia had deliberately pulled some strings to get Brock's attention.

For the rest of the shoot, Cameron barely gave Ophelia any screen time, and even Sharon next to her was pretty much invisible. The second and third episodes were one-on-one knockout rounds, and the design theme was "prints". It was a 10- to-7 elimination round, judged by professionals. The five losing designers would be subject to a public vote. The bottom three would be eliminated.

At the end of the episode, each contestant drew lots to determine their opponent, but the results weren't revealed until the next episode. The director did this to wait for audience feedback after the episode had aired, planning to pit the most controversial contestants or celebrities against each other for more drama.

After the shoot wrapped, Ophelia left the studio. When she got into the elevator, she happened to run into Sharon. Sharon stepped aside to give her room, and the doors closed, leaving just the two of them inside.

Sharon looked even more stunning in person than in the movie trailer Ophelia had seen. Her fox-like eyes gave off a sultry vibe. It wasn't the kind of face that the entertainment industry favored, and despite Sharon's scandal-free career, her roles as scheming villains always drew criticism. Seeing her in person today, Ophelia understood why she hadn't remembered this show from her last life.

"By the way, thanks for today. I really appreciate you agreeing to team up with me," Ophelia said, and she was genuinely grateful. She knew that as an unknown designer, it wouldn't have taken much for the director to simply replace her if no one had wanted to partner with her.

"It's no biggie. No one else wanted to team up with me either," Sharon replied, her tone carrying a sort of resigned indifference. She had the face of someone who always seemed to be plotting, but her words were blunt and straightforward The elevator fell into a brief silence. It wasn't until Ophelia glanced up that she realized neither of them had pressed a floor button, and the elevator hadn't moved at all. She quickly pressed the button for the first floor.

Sharon awkwardly pressed her lips together. Trying to break the tension, she casually asked, "So, you run your own studio?

"Yeah, something like that," Ophelia replied. They exchanged a few words, and though Ophelia wasn't usually one to get involved in other people's business, she gave Sharon a bit of a heads-up. "You might run into some financial trouble soon. I'd suggest you take a good look at your accounts, especially your taxes." She almost came right out and told Sharon someone was setting her up.

Sharon was stunned for a moment. Ophelia thought Sharon might dismiss her warning as nonsense, but to her surprise, Sharon seemed intrigued and immediately took it seriously. "Wait, are you some kind of fortune teller? A fortune teller once told me I'd face a disaster this year, but if a savior stepped in, I'd be able to avoid it. Could you be my savior?"

Ophelia blinked, slightly caught off guard. Sharon looked so glamorous and aloof, yet she spoke with this oddly naive, almost ditzy vibe. 'She must've traded two-thirds of her brainpower for that killer face, Ophelia thought.
