Chapter 246 Genevieve's eyes gleamed with an icy coldness.
She couldn't stand any of it.
Genevieve walked over and slammed the sack down on Anthony.
Anthony, pretending to be disabled from his wheelchair, made no effort to dodge the attack even though he had the opportunity.
The heavy sack crashed into him with the force of a brick, causing him to gasp in pain.
However, as he turned his head, Anthony maintained a gentle smile and calmly asked Genevieve, “What's wrong?” Genevieve sneered at Lauraine, who was standing behind Anthony, and remarked, “Perhaps you should ask whether your sister has grown tired of her life.” Anthony’s expression slightly stiffened.
He gave Lauraine a cold look and pursed his thin lips into a thin line.
Lauraine stood there, bravely forcing a smile, appearing innocent and confused. She said, “Genevieve, what have | done? Why are you so upset?” Robert rushed over. He looked aggrieved, and his eyes brimming with tears. He quickly spoke up, saying, “It’s her! She gave20,000 dollars to drug Ms. Lawrence. She said if | didn’t do it, she wouldn't letappear on the show!” In the meantime, the director next to them was fervently playing upbeat and energetic music, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere with the vibrant beats of the DJ. B The director continued to urge Yvette and Stella to show more “sisterly affection” on camera.
However, the unfolding situation with Anthony caught the attention of many people.
‘The program hasn't even officially started filming yet, and there’s already a conflict?’ they thought.
1/6 Chapter 246 Someone called for the director to cover and see what was going on.
As the director approached, he heard Lauralne sneer and say, “Genevieve, how could you accuselike this? My money and my medicine are gone. I've been looking all over the place for them. | even have a suspicion about who took them!” Genevieve's expression darkened as she fixed her with a cold, Intense gaze.
Genevieve thought, ‘Has Lauraine grown a brain? Her tactics have becmore refined!’ Robert angrily stomped and pointed at Lauraine, exclaiming, “She’s lying through her teeth!” Lauraine was left speechless.
Genevieve smirked and calmly suggested, “Since this is the production team’s area and there are cameras everywhere, why don’t we just review the footage? After all, there are no blind spots in the mansion for filming.” Lauraine’s expression stiffened slightly as Genevieve looked at her.
Her eyes flashed with a hint of nervousness.
She was unaware of the cameras because she had arrived late and had not entered the mansion.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have chosen that place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRobert's eyes lit up as he said, “That's right! Let's watch the surveillance footage!” The nearby director sighed and remarked, “None of the cameras inside are turned on!” Genevieve looked at him coldly.
The director immediately realized he must have misspoken.
Lauraine was relieved and smugly remarked, “You don’t even have any evidence...” “Enough!” Anthony exclaimed. His face grew cold and grim, and his gaze was brooding and intense as if he were struggling to suppress the turbulent emotions swirling within him.
His powerful presence instilled fear and intimidation in Lauraine, causing her to recoil.
2/6 Chapter 246 Anthony tightened his grip on the wheelchair’'s armrest, the veins in his arms slightly bulging, indicating his exertion and anger, “Look, Lauraine has no privileges here. If she has done anything wrong, the production team has the right to kick her out,” he said.
Everyone was shocked.
Lauraine’s first reaction was one of surprise, then disbelief, and finally embarrassment and a flush of humiliation.
“How can you defend outsiders over your sister, Anthony? I’m your flesh and blood,” Lauraine exclaimed.
Anthony’s gaze turned cold and menacing as he addressed her, his voice carrying a frosty edge, “Absence of evidence does not equal innocence, Lauraine. Consider this a warning. I'll overlook it this time, but if there's a next time, you're out!” The icy glare of his eyes sent a shiver down Lauraine’s spine and caused a slight quiver in her heart. Fear inadvertently crept into her, turning her complexion pale.
The surrounding crowd was deadly silent.
Only the D)’s music continued to play in the background. It didn’t fit in with the tense atmosphere.
Finally, Lauraine clenched her teeth, her eyes flashing a reddish hue. “Fine, go ahead and gang up on me.
Genevieve, you've got snerve!” she said.
She said with tears in her eyes. Then she made her way back to the villa.
There was no way to resolve the situation unless she left.
Lauraine gained no advantage. Instead, she got a scolding from Anthony.
The director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Isn't this supposed to be a ‘reunion‘?” he wondered.
When the director turned around, he found Yvette and Stella arguing in front of everyone.
Yvette taunted Stella by saying, “Stop acting so innocent! Your financial backer brought a bunch of relatives and friends to the show, all looking for a share of the spoils, huh?” 3/6 Chapter 246 (0 Stella shot back at Yvette, “You're no saint yourself. Your sponsor isn’t exactly shy about using his connections either. Who's the pretender now?” So, they ended up grabbing each other’s hair and got into another fight.
Until they both rolled onto the beach....
The surrounding staff looked on in disbelief.
The director, who rushed over, was even more surprised.
The director thought, ‘Aren’t they supposed to act like affectionate sisters?” He had witnessed female celebrities who appeared close in public only to backstab and betray behind the scenes.
But he had never seen two actresses get into a physical fight.
With a distant expression, Emilooked away. He let out a sigh, wondering, ‘When can | finally get rid of these two individuals?’ The director panicked and shouted, “Stop, stop fighting...” But his efforts were in vain.
He instructed the nearby assistants to step in and intervene.
But they all shook their heads.
“Our Yvette likes to handle things on her own. She doesn’t allow us to bully others,” said one of the assistants.
Stella's assistant added, “If they don’t want to join the fight, we won't either.” The director was left speechless.
The director thought, ‘Are they discussing fighting ethics at a tlike this?" Meanwhile, Anthony lifted his head and reached out to grab Genevieve’'s arm.
Don’t be mad. You can hita few times to let off steam if you're mad. After all, I'm already crippled,” Anthony aid.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe ran to look for Emilio.
After all, Emiwas the producer of the show.
“Mr. Sanders, what should we do? Who should I try to appease first?” the director asked.
It was the first tthe director had encountered something like that, which couldn’t be scripted.
It was a disaster.
Emitook a sip of beer, gazing up at the pitch-black sky, and let out a sigh.
“Stop trying to mediate. Let's call it a day and go to bed,” Emisuggested.
The pre-shooting ceremony had been a complete disaster.
‘It can’t possibly get any worse once the actual filming starts, right?‘ the director wondered.
The night passed in a whirlwind of fear.
There were not enough rooms in the mansion.
Genevieve and Ximena, from the divorcee group, shared a room.
Ximena always exuded worldly detachment and held a string of jade prayer beads. After showering, she sat on the bed and prayed.
Genevieve was quite fond of her. While Ximena remained aloof during the evening's chaos, she quietly helped clean up the mess after everyone else left.
Genevieve lay down on the bed and applied her face mask. Then, she started a casual conversation with Ximena.
5/6 Chapter 246 “You are quite devout, yet | saw you enjoying a few glasses of wine tonight?” Genevieve asked.
Ximena shrugged and answered, “As long as I'm devout in my heart, that’s all that matters.” “So, which one was your ex-husband?” Genevieve asked.
Ximena's prayer beads spun faster. “That scumbag Titus,” she replied shortly.

He cheated on me, and when | found out and wanted a divorce, he disagreed and installed surveillance cameras at home. He gradually drovecrazy, made my fans think | had mental problems, and then tried to leavewith nothing.” 6/6
