Chapter 463 Scandal

Did Violeta truly understand me?

Did all my actions anticipate Violeta?

My back injury couldn't have been a coincidence.

The more Zelena thought about it, the more confused she became. She felt like she must have been drunk.

She glanced at Violeta, who was quietly chatting with Wade not far away.

Was this person still the srespectful and loving girl she remembered?

After Zelena finished filming. 'The Chosen One’ finally aired.

She and the entire cast participated in offline promotions.

Meanwhile, Hattie had also finished filming 'Firelight'. The two met again after almost six months, and both had

undergone schanges.

Hattie smirked. "I heard you fell off a horse and hurt your back when filming a series."

Zelena shot her a cold glance and retorted, "I heard you had quite the ‘fun’ while filming your series too."

During the filming of 'Firelight', the media captured sintimate photos of Hattie and the lead actor, Alaric, in

a car.

Their teams quickly released statements to clarify the situation.

However, rumours still spread online that Hattie and Alaric were in a relationship. People said the photos were

more than just coincidences, implying their interactions on set were far from innocent. Such rumours, whether

true or not, can occasionally benefit a show.

'Firelight' was a romantic , and Hattie and Alaric were the lead couple.

If there was no real chemistry between them, how could their fans ship them?

Hence, it wasn't unreasonable to think the scandalous photos and relationship rumours might have been

intentionally stirred up.

It's hard to tell what's truly going on.

Given what Zelena knew about Hattie, she suspected these rumours weren't completely false.

When Hattie filmed 'The Moon Belongs to You' with Jacques, there were no such rumours despite their on-screen

romance.

After the show's buzz died down, there was no further interaction between their teams.

Hattie's expression briefly flickered at Zelena's words, but she quickly masked it.

Zelena closed her eyes and let the makeup artist work, missing Hattie's brief unease.

They argued fiercely backstage, neither willing to back down.

Yet, when it cto the promotional event, they played the role of ‘good friends' for everyone to see.

The promotion event concluded.

While all the other actors were leaving, Zelena sat in her car and rummaged through her bag, realising she had

Zelena and the driver sat quietly in the car, and she leaned back in her seat, playing on her phone.

Suddenly, two people appeared in Zelena's peripheral vision.

She shifted her gaze from her phone to the window and glanced outside.

That one glance made Zelena freeze.

Alaric?

Why is he still here?

After the event ended, Alaric's team left first.

Zelena saw Alaric get into a car, but soon another figure approached from the other side. Although she was

wearing a cap and mask, Zelena immediately recognised her as Hattie.

Hattie walked over discreetly and got into Alaric's car.

Zelena grinned as she witnessed the scene.

So, were the previous scandalous photos staged?

She quickly snapped a photo of them together.

Zelena could clearly see Alaric sitting inside the car when opened the door, despite the tinted

windows. Content belong tenet

The car quickly drove away, as if nothing had happened.

Zelena looked at the photo on her phone and smiled with satisfaction.

She seemed to have fate on her side.

The relationship between Hattie and Alaric wasn't just ‘ambiguous’. They were genuinely involved.

Now, Zelena had leverage over her.

There was no doubt she held a card that could balance the scales against Hattie.

How do | play this card? Zelena has to think carefully.
