“Okay, if it means that much to you, I’ll text you the amount later. Just transfer it to that
number when you get a chance.”
Ivy felt a wave of relief wash over her at Nolan’s words.
“Sure thing! Thanks for swinging by the set, Nolan.”
He grinned, resisting the urge to ruffle her hair as he often did.
That afternoon, they were scheduled to shoot scenes featuring the secondary lead, Diana.
The rest of the cast and crew had assumed her scenes would be postponed due to her
injury, but to everyone’s surprise, she limped back onto the set, leaning on crutches.
Colton could not hide his shock. “Diana, why aren’t you resting at home? We agreed to
push back your scenes, didn’t we?”
Diana offered a slight smile, her assistant looking less than pleased by her side.

account. Besides, if it were serious, I would not have returned,” she said, her eyes
twinkling despite the bandages around her foot.
Ivy stood off to the side, listening to their exchange.
In the chaos of dealing with the recent drama, she had forgotten to visit Diana. After all,
Diana’s injury was indirectly caused by her.
She made a mental note to find a quiet moment later to apologize to Diana.
But before Ivy had a chance to approach her, Diana, assisted by her aide, made her over
to Ivy.
Ivy quickly stood, offering a hand to help Diana sit, but Diana subtly sidestepped her
gesture.
Ivy paused, a bit embarrassed, retracting her hand awkwardly.
“Ms. Dunhill, I only heard about the whole Giselle situation in the hospital. I can’t believe
she’d use her clout to bully the newbies and try to frame you! If you had not found
evidence to clear your name, there might’ve been a rift between us. But look at us now-
you’re the new public darling, and I’m right behind you. Giselle, with all her years as an
award-winning actress? She’s practically yesterday’s news!”
Diana seemed timid and gentle, yet her words were brimming with ambition, far from
what one would expect from her soft appearance.
Ivy’s brow furrowed slightly. She was not interested in popularity contests; she was
focused on her craft, hoping to let her acting skills speak for themselves.

Besides, Giselle’s longstanding status as an award-winning actress surely was not
unfounded. Diana’s comments seemed a bit unfair.
“I’m glad you’re okay,” Ivy responded simply, not really close to Diana to begin with.
Had it not been for Giselle’s interference, Ivy would hardly have exchanged words with

With Diana occupying her space, Ivy stood aside. Out of consideration for Diana’s injury,
she chose not to make an issue of it.
However, Diana seemed to look down on Ivy’s silence, scoffing at the thought of Ivy as
Colton’s leading lady.
If it were not for the powerful Balfour backing her, how could Ivy have possibly become
the most popular up-and-coming actress?
Regardless of the envy brewing inside, Diana knew she had to maintain a good
relationship with Ivy, considering the influence of the Howard family behind her
Her agent had made it clear before she arrived on set: aligning with the Howards could
only benefit her career.
“Ms. Dunhill, there’s no need to be on guard around me. We’re both victims here and as
colleagues in the same production, we should be allies, Diana said, extending an olive
branch masked with ulterior motives.
