“Wasn’t Alicia messing around with the new rookie actor from the production crew last night? Did that come with some kind of delayed aftereffect?” I asked inwardly.
Alicia’s face flushed bright red, then turned pale.
At that moment, Jeremy no longer looked like he wanted to kill me. Instead, under the curious gaze of the entire room, he fixed Alicia with a furious glare due to being cheated on.
Meanwhile, Henry was scratching his head, desperately trying to get my attention.
I couldn’t help but finally look his way, drawn in by his absurd antics.
“With that kind of intelligence… No wonder the sugar mama he just snagged got poached by his own teammate! Hahaha! Bet he doesn’t even know why he lost, does he?‘ I mocked inwardly.
The entire crowd had expressions that said, “We’d like to know too!”
‘His teammate’s already slept with his sugar mama, but Henry is still a little virgin!‘ I laughed inwardly.
Henry drew a sharp breath and froze. He felt utterly humiliated.
Suddenly, the director, who had been quiet all this time, turned to me and asked, “Yunice, what’s your connection to the Stone

The director, who had just uncovered the dramatic twist involving the real and fake heiress, now had a gleam of excitement in his
eyes.

At that moment, Angela slid over to my side, squeezing past my brother to link her arm through mine. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at me with a kind of intense admiration.
“Um…. Why is she staring at me like that?‘ I was puzzled.
“I just think you’re so beautiful, Yunice!” she declared.
I couldn’t help but flash a shy smile, silently giving her credit in my heart. ‘At least she’s got good taste.”
Her face lit up with joy, and she laughed happily.
“No wonder you’re the kind of woman who always books the top male models at the club!‘ I exclaimed in my mind.
The air around us grew noticeably tense, as if everyone was holding their breath.
