Chapter 1578
Cornelia was driving the same ruby red Porsche that Marcus had gifted her when she was his
secretary at Hartley Group. Given the nature of her work, she didn’t get out much, and she drove even
less, so the car still looked brand new.
After getting into the car, Hannah looked around and asked, “You’re still driving this Porsche? Didn’t
your man buy you a new one?”
Cornelia replied, “He wanted to, even wanted to hire a driver for me, but I refused. As a girl from a
normal family, I often don’t like having strangers shadowing me. Usually, when I go out, I drive myself.
It’s only when I take Hope that I’ll have Patricia tag along.”
Hannah nodded, “I feel the same. While filming, I didn’t want my assistant to tag along, but I had to
since some things required exnation. And why didn’t you bring Hope along? I miss my little godson.”
“Hope is with his dad at a private gathering. It’s one of those meetings with Steven and his pals.”
Knowing Hannah wasn’t fond of mentioning Steven, Cornelia quickly changed the subject, “Hannah,
what are your ns? Going to continue acting?”

Hannah chuckled, “Because of my leg injury, I haven’t filmed for almost a year. Now, I’m trying to get
pregnant, and if I do, it will be another year minimum. Two years out of the public eye, and with all the
new faces, who’s going to remember me?”
Cornelia responded, “Hannah, I think you might be underestimating the size of your fan base. Yes,
there are a lot of new faces, but there are very few who can actually act. People are eagerly waiting for
your return.”e2
Hannah asked, “Do you really think I can act?”
Cornelia retorted, “Or did you buy your Best Actress trophies? They are real awards. Your acting
skills…”
Hannah interrupted her, “Indeed, they were bought. Steven paid for them.”
Cornelia was bbergasted.
Hannah continued, “Steven sponsored the awards the year I won. I guess he must have pulled some
strings backstage. Otherwise, why would they give me the award when there were so many seniors
ahead of me?”
Cornelia was driving and couldn’t free her hands or she would have poked Hannah in the head.
“Hannah, can you please have some rity about your own abilities?”
Hannah whispered, “It’s precisely because I’m aware of my abilities that I feel I only received the award
through connections.”
Cornelia eximed, “The award you won is recognized both domestically and internationally for its
professionalism. Over the years, all who won that award were genuinely good actors. Do you think just
because Steven was a sponsor, he could break the rules and hand you the award?”
Hannah asked, “What else?”
Cornelia replied, “I’ve seen the movie you won the award for, and as far as I’m concerned, you
genuinely deserved it. Moreover, you should read thements online. After you won, didn’t everyone
say you deserved it?”
Hannah mumbled, “The online public opinion could also be manipted by Steven.”
Cornelia exasperatedly asked, “Hannah, are you trying to give me a heart attack?”
Hannah remained silent.
Cornelia continued, “You’ve got the looks, the physique, the acting skills, and countless genuine fans
who love and support you. People would kill for what you have, yet why do youck confidence?”
Hannah admitted, “I don’t know. I often doubt myself.”
Cornelia urged, “You need to believe in yourself. You’re the amazing Hannah.”
Hannah took a deep breath, “Okay, I’ll believe in myself.”
Just then, Cornelia’s phone rang. It was Jeremy. She immediately answered, “Jeremy.”
Jeremy’s soothing voice came through, “I’ve arranged a private room for both of you. Come directly.”
Cornelia asked, “Did Steven ask you to do this?”
Jeremy confirmed, “Yes.”
Cornelia nced at Hannah, who asked, “Rosie is there tog, right?”
Cornelia nodded.
Hannah said, “Then let’s go.”
“Alright.” Cornelia paused, then asked, “What’s going on between you and Steven?”
