NovelEnglishChapter 1483: Yvonne immediately recognized Ryder's voice. Her body tensed, and dread overwhelmed her. She collapsed back into her chair. If Ryder discovered she had summoned him after antagonizing the Sanderson family, her career was doomed.

"Who is..." As Ryder's gaze met Brenton's, his demeanor shifted tically, his voice taking on a warm and enthusiastic tone.
"Oh, Mr. Sanderson, are you visiting the set today?" "Hmph." Brenton gave a dismissive sneer and glanced at Ryder sharply, his commanding aura unmistakable.

I was solely trying to benefit the whole crew. We're actually close on set. The director can confirm that."

It was thoughtless of me, truly without any ill will. Ms. Sanderson, I hope you understand." Yvonne intentionally blurred the line between defamation and a joke made in anger, hoping Harlee would dismiss it.
Harlee gave Yvonne a subtly mocking look, a chilly smirk forming on her lips. Her gaze was coldaş She Pasked, "Oh you sounded as if you could prove you didn't use your connections to get in. Or have you found evidence that I defamed you?"
