Phoebe remained silent, her expression unchanged.
Cordelia rolled her eyes at Caleb’s attempt, saying, “Mr. Mendez, you’re surely thick–skinned. It’s obvious that you’re planning to ride on Phoebe’s success after winning the Best Actress award!”
Ignoring Cordelia’s sarcasm, Caleb kept his gaze fixed on Phoebe.
“Phoebe, I truly realize my mistake now. Please giveanother chance! Without you, life is not worth living. Cback to me, please!”
Phoebe laughed.
She had seen Caleb’s true colors when he cheated on her, and every word he uttered now felt ironic and insincere.
Remembering Sheena’s ruthless approach toward unfaithful partners, Phoebe calmly retrieved a delicate little dagger from the drawer, a souvenir from a previous drama shoot.
Seeing her play with the dagger, Caleb expressed concern, “Be careful, don’t cut your hand. I would be devastated.”
Phoebe was disgusted by his fake display of concern, handing the dagger to him.
She was no longer weak and naive, calmly saying, “Since you claim life is unbearable without me, prove your love by using this dagger to end your life. Only then will I believe you truly love me.”

Phoebe was no longer easy to manipulate!
Caleb reluctantly took the dagger from her but hesitated to make any move that might cause injury.
“If I die, we can never be together. Are you really willing to let that happen?”
Phoebe challenged, “But if you don’t die, how can you prove your love foror if you’ve truly regretted your actions?”
“I…”
Caleb bit the bullet and pressed the dagger against his wrist, but he still dared not
to move.
“If you’re not willing to go as far as cutting an artery and shedding enough blood, I won’t believe you. Prove your sincerity.”
The thought of it was too painful for Caleb. His hands trembled, and the dagger slipped from his grip.
He grabbed Phoebe’s gown and begged, “Phoebe, please don’t do this! Let’s go back to how we were. No, I’ll treat you even better than before! Just giveanother chance!”
Phoebe kicked him hard with her high heels on.
“Get lost! I won’t believe a single sweet word you say! From now on, steer clear of me. If you dare to pesteragain, I’ll fight you, and you’ll end up with nothing! Even an instant noodle will be a luxury you can’t afford!”
Caleb was left bewildered, staring at Phoebe with disbelief as she sternly delivered her harsh words.
Was this the sPhoebe he knew from before?
“Phoebe, I…”
Caleb began to say, but Phoebe cut him off sharply, “Get lost!”
Unwilling to hear more of his excuses, Phoebe warned, “If you keep bothering me, I’ll report you for harassment!”
Michelle and Cordelia immediately put on fierce expressions, ushering Caleb
. away.
With his departure, the atmosphere in the room becsignificantly more peaceful.
Phoebe, feeling relieved, took out her phone to capture a photo of the award and sent it to Howard.
[Phoebe: Thanks for your guidance, Mr. Howard. Are you satisfied?]
Howard replied almost instantly.

Phoebe blushed instantly.
This man was becoming more…
Setting aside her phone, she resumed applying makeup.
Since Howard would discreetly cto pick her up later, she decided not to take the bus home. Hence, Michelle and Cordelia left first.
As the entire dressing room quickly emptied, Phoebe concentrated on her

makeup.
Outside the door, she heard the sound of a door handle turning.
Glancing at the door, she noticed a pair of men’s dress shoes standing not far from her.
Assuming it was Caleb returning, she spoke with annoyance, “Caleb, are you dumb and deaf?”
The man standing by the door remained silent and motionless.
Feeling curious, Phoebe turned her head to get a better look.
To her surprise, it was a stranger.
“Who are you?”
