Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 153 Not a Surprise, But a Shock

I stared at the woman's face, totally freaked out, and stumbled back a couple of steps like I'd seen a ghost. I almost lost my balance, but Ethan caught me just in time.

I glanced up at Ethan, feeling uneasy. Even he, usually so chill, had a flicker of shock in his eyes.

She walked towards us with long strides, arms crossed, and a bright smile on her face.

Was it Fiona?

At first, I thought it was Fiona because she looked so much like her.

But as she got closer, grinning and soaking in our surprise, she started talking. That's when I realized it was Faye, who had gone under the knife to look like Fiona. Faye asked, "Where have you been? I've been waiting forever."

Ethan had already pulled himself together and looked at her calmly.

"When did you get here? Why didn't you call ahead?" he asked, strolling in and plopping down on the couch like it was no big deal.

I was still standing there, my mind racing.

Faye ignored me and followed him. She sat next to Ethan and clung to his arm, all flirty, right in front of me.

"I wanted to surprise you."

Faye had always looked a bit like Fiona. Now, with the plastic surgery, she was almost a dead ringer for her. Watching this, I almost felt like Fiona was back from the dead.

Faye looked even more stunning now, way more mature than before she started acting in movies.

Faye and Ethan had nearly a ten-year age gap. But together, they looked like a perfect match, no awkwardness at all.

Seeing this, my mind was a mess. I calmly walked over, sat down on a single sofa, and turned on the TV.

If I freaked out first, I'd totally lose.

Ethan pulled his hand away from Faye's, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

He asked her briefly about what she'd been up to. I stared at the TV but was really eavesdropping on their convo. I got that after wrapping up her movie scenes, Faye had recently gone to Korea. The reason was pretty obvious. Faye kept bragging to Ethan about how the director praised her talent, saying she'd definitely become famous with this movie, and all that jazz.

Ethan glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. I'll have the driver take you to the hotel."

Both Faye and I were caught off guard.

Faye pouted, twisting her body. "I don't want to go to the hotel, Ethan. What if the paparazzi snap a pic of me like this?"
