Chapter 660
Once Penelope was out of hearing range, Matilda tentatively said to Bianca, “Mrs. Yates, you know that...”
Bianca sighed. “Maybe it's because I lost my daughter at a young age and she never grew up with me around that I
always feel as if there's a wall between us. If they want to go back to H Nation, they should go. If I let them do as
they wish, maybe they'll think of me as someone good.”
Bianca always felt that the daughter she finally got back was very unlike her and the count.
Maybe it's because she didn't get to grow up in a good family in H Nation. She was raised as someone ordinary, so
there's nothing she's particularly good at. It's the same for her daughter, Penelope. My daughter's short-sighted,
and my granddaughter's a master of none. Among the socialites, they're... I don't know what to say about them.
They have no skills in fine arts, let alone master any of the fine arts.
Back when Bianca finally took them in, she had been overjoyed. She had wished she could tell the whole world
about the delightful news.

have to deal with the complicated procedures of including her in the family tree and whatnot.
The more Bianca learned about Mary and Penelope, the more the initial happiness Bianca felt dissipated.
Eventually, they never put the mother-and-daughter duo into the family tree, and the matter was gradually
dismissed.
Perhaps that was something Bianca would only do when her mood changed for the better.
At the start, Bianca loved bringing Penelope and Mary out to gatherings. She wanted her peers to see that she, too,
had a daughter and a granddaughter.
However, when she realized that all the mother-and-daughter duo did was embarrass her, Bianca became reluctant
to let them meet the other rich women.
With that thought in mind, Bianca let out a sigh.
“It's really as if she's not my daughter.”
When Matilda saw the disappointed look on Bianca's face, she quickly consoled, “Not everyone can be as excellent
as you were when you were younger. Even if your blood is flowing in her, she might not have inherited your traits,
so don't be too upset, Mrs. Yates.”
“It's fine. Just let them be.” Bianca sighed. “Come, let's end this game of chess.”
The movie that Fraser Corporation and Haddock Group invested in was doomed because of Helena. Its reputation
had plummeted into the abyss.
Helena's incident also affected the director Frank, but he managed to cover up the scandal.
As his wife had received a large sum of money, she pretended to be lovey-dovey with him in public and even
apologized to the others.
Despite that, the people still did not forgive him as they continued cursing at him.
Stressed, Frank grew a few ulcers in his mouth, and they were painful.
The scandals of the lead actress seemed neverending. More and more blackmail-worthy news of her kept popping
up on the internet, and it was as if the matter would never blow over.
Left without a choice, Frank decided to search for another lead actress.

Everyone was afraid that their reputation would be in ruins after taking on the role.
Thus, Frank panicked even more.
He was restless, but there was nothing he could do about the matter.
In the other film crew, Ashlyn was sitting on her chair, watching the expressions on Jonathan and Naomi's faces as
they acted.
Although Ashlyn did not learn acting, she could see that Naomi had improved quite a bit.
It was as if the girl was born to be an actress. Her acting was natural, and her expressions were intense but not
over the top.
Once the scene was over, Greg took a chair and sat by Ashlyn's side. “Ms. Berry, thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me?” Ashlyn picked up a bottle, opened it, and drank the water.
“Thank you for standing up for me.”
The pretty woman's eyes narrowed as her lips curled. At that moment, she seemed domineering. “This is nothing.
The revenge is only done when this show is released, and the box office surpasses his show's sales.”
As she spoke, her eyes trailed to a distance away, seemingly lost in her thoughts.
