Chapter 581 The Grudge
Tobias ran out of patience and his voice turned cold, “You may leave now. But remember, if I don’t see your
brother’s clarification post on Twitter tomorrow, I’ll have someone email a letter of dismissal to you. Alternatively,
you may also pack your things and leave in advance today.
“Hey, have you heard? Skylar’s cousin brother is in trouble. However, she decided to turn a blind eye and not help
him. She owns a Hermès bag, yet she’s so calculative. I believe karma would hit her when she least expects it.”
“I don’t blame her though. It’d make sense for her to spend wisely as she didn’t grow up in a wealthy family.”
“She seems to have a bad personality. I mean, not to mention her appearance, she looks like a pretentious person.
I bet she probably puts on an innocent act whenever she’s with her fans.”
Skylar was welcomed with rumors about her as soon as she arrived at the filming set. Her assistant, Hannah
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoverheard the crew whispering among themselves about Skylar and decided to spill the beans to her.
However, Skylar ate her meal calmly in the motorhome. She was unfazed by their words.
Hannah was enraged and said, “Skylar, why don’t you say something about it? Perhaps a post on Twitter? They’re
saying an awful lot about you and I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Relax, I’ve always been the queen of scandals and I’m practically immune to it. There’s no need for me to clarify
myself, someone else would do the job. Besides, the paparazzi aren’t dumb. They’d probably have caught many
pictures of him hanging out by the cybercafé and underground casino all day. Would that convince the public that
he was seriously ill? Furthermore, I would seem like a selfish person if I denounced our relationship now. How would
I also face my relatives?”
I have a feeling Kevin wasn’t the one behind this, so I wonder who would it be? If the culprit was Eva, then she was
a terrible sister indeed. She didn’t weigh the consequences that might inflict upon Kevin.
The public may sympathize if it was the truth. In contrast, they won’t let one off easily if it was for clout.
She threw the leftovers into the trash can, touched up on her makeup, and participated in the opening ceremony to
bless the shoot.
Hannah was admiring the opening ceremony for Pretty Detective next door. She was very impressed with their
setup. Even the roast lamb that they had for the ceremony was visibly larger than the one in Skylar’s filming set
had.
Skylar noticed that this filming crew was low on budget. Everything from its filming location, costumes, and filming
crew were incomparable to Empyrean Sword.
I can’t bear to do anything else right now. I just want to take a nap in the motorhome. She rubbed her temples and
yawned tiredly.
Hannah noticed how tired she was and asked, “Are you sick? Look at your dark circles, even a few layers of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconcealer won’t do the trick to cover it. You have to stop staying up all night, or else you’d get nasolabial folds.”
Skylar yawned once again, “Well, some crazy guy has been calling my landline at midnight every day. It’s like I’m in
a horror movie, Saw. I think you’d know about that movie. Every time I pick up the call, the other end would let out
a cold laugh. So, I unplugged the landline last night, thinking it would be a peaceful night but my phone rang at
midnight. Damn it, I have no idea who this crazy guy is.”
The heater in the motorhome was on, yet Hannah shivered as she could feel cold chills going down her spine.
She widened her eyes and said fearfully, “Do you think it could be some obsessive fan of yours? I’ve heard of scary
stories where they’d hide under your bed. Hence, I think it’d be best to be careful.”
Skylar couldn’t bear with the thought anymore and replied, “Who knows? But, I’ve got someone to check the
number. However, it turned out to be an internet call. Nonetheless, I have a mahogany ax hidden under my pillow.
It helps ward off evil spirits, but only time will tell, right?”
Unfortunately, Tobias hasn’t been home but I’m very thankful to have Madelyn around in the house. Yet, she had
become rather nervous ever since the calling incident occurred.
