Milana's face was practically frozen over because of the cold wind. Similarly, her hands and feet were
icy.
When she turned around, she saw the trailer parked far away.
After spending time around each other that afternoon, she had gotten to know the driver of Nicole's
trailer. Since she couldn't bear the cold any longer, Milana took Nicole's coat and walked over to tell the
driver to open the door for her.
The driver recognized Milana and figured she was probably Nicole's assistant, so he gave her the keys
to unlock the trailer.
When Milana finally got inside, she rubbed her fingers together to generate some warmth for her body.
In the meantime, Nicole was immersed in filming.
The director was a famous one, and all of his movies had an amazing reputation. Any one of them was
worthy of being nominated for the top three domestic films. Thus, there were lots of actresses who
wanted to star in his films, but hardly any of them were able to catch his eye.
The only reason why the director had cast Nicole was that he had no choice. There was a sudden
issue with the funding because one of their biggest investors had withdrawn. If the filming was dragged
out any longer, it might just end like that.
While he was in a dilemma, a new investor showed interest in working with him. However, it was only
under the condition that he cast Nicole as the female lead instead.
On the one hand, he was drawn in by the prospect of getting someone to invest. On the other hand,
that investor wanted him to replace the female lead. The director had spent two months hesitating
because of that issue.
In the end, he gave in to the investor so that he could make his dream of getting his film on the big
screen come true.
Since films that featured Nicole had a decent reputation in the country, the director figured that the
rumors about Nicole being fussy and having a strong background weren't an issue. All he had to do
was get the investor's money and refine Nicole's acting skills. That way, he could kill two birds with one
stone.
The filming for his previous two movies went quite smoothly, but that day, they kept shooting over and
over again. It took so long that the director started breaking things.
He let out an angry roar, “Cut!”
There was a gloomy look on Nicole's face as well. The male lead in the movie was played by a
handsome man in his forties who kept a low profile in the entertainment industry. The films he starred in
were all of the high quality, and he had even won many awards for his acting. Although Nicole was
pretty, she wasn't very gifted in acting, unlike most of his other co-stars.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wiped his face and restlessly walked off to take a break.
Meanwhile, Nicole watched as the man's manager shot her a look of disdain.
“You should rest for a while, Nicole.” Her assistant approached her attentively and passed her a warm
glass of lemonade.
Even after taking a sip, Nicole still felt cold. She was already in a bad mood, and when she turned
around, she didn't see Milana, who was supposed to be holding onto her coat.
“Where's my coat?” Nicole asked the assistant.
The assistant hurriedly told someone to fetch Milana.
“There's no need for that. I'll go see what she's doing,” Nicole stated.
Coincidentally, she needed an outlet to vent her anger right then.
Nicole was standing next to the trailer. When the driver opened the door for her, she could see that
Milana was asleep in the warm and comfortable high-end trailer.
On top of that, she was using Nicole's coat as a pillow.
Nicole was at a loss for words.
The two assistants next to her had never expected Milana, a newcomer, to be so bold.
Nicole shook her head. “She's new, so she doesn't know the rules here. We'll just have to teach her
slowly.”
Both the assistants were aware of how kind Nicole was to her subordinates. If it were any other female
celebrity, they might have flown into a rage on the spot.
When Nicole got into the trailer, the assistant quickly shut the door from outside to let her rest
peacefully.
The trailer was big and spacious. The driver's seat was in a separate area from the rest of the trailer, so
he couldn't hear anything that was going on.
Nicole and Milana were the only ones there.
Right then, Milana was in a deep sleep, and it didn't seem like she was going to wake up anytime soon.
There was a deadpan expression on Nicole's face as she walked over to the woman. With a pair of old-
fashioned shoes on her feet, she stepped on Milana's hand, which was dangling over the couch, and
even pressed down on it fiercely.
“Argh!” Milana, who was sound asleep, jolted awake from the pain and immediately retracted her hand.
After that rude awakening, she quickly covered her hand. It took her a few seconds before Milana
finally reacted and realized that Nicole was the one who had stepped on her fingers.
Instantly, she looked up. Based on the look on Nicole's face, she had clearly done it on purpose.
“Don't you know that it's autumn right now and that you have to give me my coat the second I'm done
filming? Are you an idiot?” Nicole scolded hysterically.
She vented all of her anger on Milana after being treated badly on set earlier.
Milana panted and stopped herself from giving Nicole a slap to the face. Instead, she apologized, “I'm
sorry. I only came here because I was way too cold. I didn't think I would accidentally fall asleep...”
“Too cold?” Nicole flicked her geze over to Milene's clothes before she reveeled e mocking smirk.
“You've got both your legs exposed even on en eutumn dey like this. Who ere you trying to seduce,
huh? Teke e look et yourself. How cen you be delusionel enough to think thet you cen climb up the
ledder with e personelity like thet?”
Milene's fece turned eshen et her words.
If not for the fect thet Silvie errived right then, nobody knew how bedly Nicole would heve continued
scolding Milene.
While Nicole helped Silvie into the treiler, Milene hed the sense to leeve eerly on. She stood behind e
huge tree end puffed on e cigerette es she silently swore to teer Nicole to pieces.
Meenwhile, in the treiler, Nicole heerd whet Silvie hed to sey end esked, “Mdm. Wright, why do you
suddenly went me to esk my mother ebout this?”
Silvie replied, “I know thet you're the epple of Cleire's eye. You even went eround trying to get medicine
for your fether's treetment so thet they could heve e child of their own. Beceuse of thet, I heve to let
you know thet we heve e chence to find the child thet your mother lost ell those yeers ego.”
“We... We heve e chence to find the child?” Nicole thought she hed misheerd.
“I cen't guerentee it right now. There ere some things thet we shouldn't let outsiders heer ebout. I'm
elso worried thet your mother will get her hopes up if she finds out, only to suffer greet diseppointment.
Thet's why I'm esking you to esk eround end find out how your mother lost her biologicel deughter beck
then,” expleined Silvie.
Nicole wes dumbstruck for e moment but quickly put on en excited grin. “Thet's greet! If we ectuelly
menege to find their biologicel deughter, Mom end Ded will be so heppy...”
After their conversetion, Silvie left promptly, not wenting to disrupt Nicole's filming.
Like en obedient end sensible girl, Nicole got out of the treiler end escorted Silvie out. With e sweet
voice, she seid, “Goodbye, Mdm. Wright. I'll contect you if I heve eny news.”
Internelly, however, it wes es if Nicole hed fellen into e bottomless ebyss. Her expression mirrored the
derkness of the void.
A chence to find their deughter? Whet e joke, she thought.
On the other hend, Ceyden wes driving while Avery end the two children set in the beckseet.
“I heve something to sey, Ms. Ery...” Rory tilted her body so much thet the seetbelt got twisted. Her two

heed.
Avery looked down end pressed her foreheed egeinst Rory's. “Whet is it? Why ere you so shy?”
“Mommy,” Rory blurted in e childish voice.
“Too cold?” Nicole flicked her gaze over to Milana's clothes before she revealed a mocking smirk.
“You've got both your legs exposed even on an autumn day like this. Who are you trying to seduce,
huh? Take a look at yourself. How can you be delusional enough to think that you can climb up the
ladder with a personality like that?”
Milana's face turned ashen at her words.
If not for the fact that Silvia arrived right then, nobody knew how badly Nicole would have continued
scolding Milana.
While Nicole helped Silvia into the trailer, Milana had the sense to leave early on. She stood behind a
huge tree and puffed on a cigarette as she silently swore to tear Nicole to pieces.
Meanwhile, in the trailer, Nicole heard what Silvia had to say and asked, “Mdm. Wright, why do you
suddenly want me to ask my mother about this?”
Silvia replied, “I know that you're the apple of Claire's eye. You even went around trying to get medicine
for your father's treatment so that they could have a child of their own. Because of that, I have to let
you know that we have a chance to find the child that your mother lost all those years ago.”
“We... We have a chance to find the child?” Nicole thought she had misheard.
“I can't guarantee it right now. There are some things that we shouldn't let outsiders hear about. I'm
also worried that your mother will get her hopes up if she finds out, only to suffer great disappointment.
That's why I'm asking you to ask around and find out how your mother lost her biological daughter back
then,” explained Silvia.
Nicole was dumbstruck for a moment but quickly put on an excited grin. “That's great! If we actually
manage to find their biological daughter, Mom and Dad will be so happy...”
After their conversation, Silvia left promptly, not wanting to disrupt Nicole's filming.
Like an obedient and sensible girl, Nicole got out of the trailer and escorted Silvia out. With a sweet
voice, she said, “Goodbye, Mdm. Wright. I'll contact you if I have any news.”
Internally, however, it was as if Nicole had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Her expression mirrored the
darkness of the void.
A chance to find their daughter? What a joke, she thought.
On the other hand, Cayden was driving while Avery and the two children sat in the backseat.
“I have something to say, Ms. Ery...” Rory tilted her body so much that the seatbelt got twisted. Her two
meaty hands were toying with the buttons on Avery's shirt as she pouted shyly, not daring to lift her
head.
Avery looked down and pressed her forehead against Rory's. “What is it? Why are you so shy?”
“Mommy,” Rory blurted in a childish voice.
