Chapter 220
This bruise had obviously been caused by the repeated kowtowing.
“Did you really just… do whatever they told you to do?
For some reason, Lucas suddenly got angry.
“What else could I do?” Serenity responded. “Refuse them? In that case, I wouldn’t get paid a single
dime today.”
He almost choked. He was fully aware that extras were the workers at the lowest rung of the hierarchy
on set, and they basically had no bargaining power at all when they were demanded to do something.
“How much are you getting paid per day as an extra?” he asked in a muf fled voice.
“I was initially promised 80 dors,” she exined, “but because there would be a kneeling scene, 50
dors was added. Just now, when I had to demonstrate kowtowing alone in front of the others, I was
given another 200 dors
He stared at her with roiling emotions. So, she had kept on kneeling and kowtowing over and over
again, all just for 330 dors?
Did this wornan not know how to protect herself?!
“Are there any past grudges between you and Aria Lewis?” he asked. He could naturally tell that what
had happened just now was because Ana deliberately wanted to bully Serenity, yet no one on set
dared to say anything about it
On one hand, this was, of course, due to how little extras were valued on set. The crew was full of
shrewd people, so everyone knew not to offend Aria Lewis just to help a lowly extra
But it was also not least due to the fact that the person supporting Aria Lewis… was Lucas himself!
Thinking of this, Lucas felt as if his chest was stuffed with a heavy load that suffocated him.
“She’s my half-sister,” Serenity exined bluntly, “born of a different mother. As for past grudges, I
guess she has always felt that her career and future were ruined because I had been in prison before.”
Even if she did not tell him any of this, Serenity was sure that Lucas could easily find out the truth
without expending much effort at all. Hence she found no reason to conceal anything from him.
Mild surprise shed in his eyes. Although he basically knew everything about Aria’s life and was wellContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
aware of the fact that she had a half-sister who did not live with her, he had never bothered to find out
what Ana’s half-sister’s name was. But that was only to be expected since he never cared much about
Ana, anyway. He only kept her by his side because Aria’s lips reminded him of the girl in his memories.
He never expected the woman in front of him to turn out to be Aria’s half-sister.
Just then, the door to the lounge swung open, and in came the woman they had been talking about-
Aria Lewis. She walked in with her face pale as a sheet. She nced at Serenity’s now bandaged hand
and then turned to Lucas, who was frowning slightly and ring at her with displeasure.
Aria rushed to Luca s’s side and tried her best to look guilty and remorseful, saying. “Thank you for
bringing my sister here and getting the doctor to check up on her, Lucas. I bumped into the doctor on
my way here, and he told me that my sister’s injury isn’t serious at all. I was so relieved when I heard
that.”
Then, she turned to Serenity and said, “I’m so sorry for what happened, Sis. I should’ve held onto the
heater more carefully. I didn’t mean to let it fall on you.”
Serenity stared nkly at her half-sister. She remembered how she used to love Aria sincerely and
wanted to help her as much as she could with her career in the entertainment industry because to her,
they were family no matter what.
But after that car crash, she finally understood that her eamest feelings for Aria werepletely one-
sided.
And now, she also figured out exactly how Aria was able to climb up the careerdder so quickly,
leaping from her past position as a third-rate actress tond a role as the second lead in a major
production and why even the director had to do everything she wanted.
