Chapter 637 Worrisome
Meanwhile, in Wendy''s office, Nicole, holding up her skirt, rushed into her office and directly
questioned, “Wendy, why has someone else taken my role? The film''s shooting is about to start, and
only now am I being told that I''ve been reced. What is the director thinking?”
Wendy also had a worried look on her face. “How would I know what it means? This is the arrangement
from our superior. Nickie, you''ve been causing quite a stir recently! You''re being too ostentatious”
Heaven knows, Wendy initially thought she was managing an actress with a prestigious background
and her career could skyrocket. Unexpectedly, the pure image she painstakingly crafted for Nicole over
the years was ruined by Nicole herself. Who can I turn to for justice?
Nicole mmed her hand heavily onto Wendy''s desk, looking at her with a sarcastic gaze.
“Ostentatious? I''ve been keeping a low profiletely, resting at home for such a long time. Where have I
been ostentatious? Wendy, have you been cking off recently? Look at the jobs you''ve been getting
for me. They''re either annoying second female leads or roles in some meaningless web dramas. This
is a huge downgrade to my worth. If this continues, I won''t even be able to maintain my second-tier
status, let alone talk about advancing to the super-tier.”
When Wendy heard Nicole''s usations, her facial expression immediately changed. “Nickie, honestly,
you should know better than anyone how I''ve treated you over the years. If it weren''t for me cleaning
up your messes, do you think your pure image on screen could have remained unscathed all these
years? If it weren''t for your recent arrogance and drama, would you have fallen so low? Your reputation
has already plummeted, with no directors, producers, or investors daring to use you. I had to
shamelessly beg others for even these small roles you look down upon. Yet, you use me of being
lazy. If that''s the case, you should find another agent.”
Upon seeing that Wendy was genuinely angry and getting serious, Nicole suddenly felt a bit guilty.
Nicole rposed herself and exined, “Wendy, I''m sorry. I''m upset because my role was taken
away, and I neglected your feelings. I know you''re also in a difficult position, and I won''t behave like this
again.”
To be honest, Wendy had been too kind to her. Whether it was her methods or her connections, they
were unmatched by any other agents.
The most important thing was that she understood Nicole exceptionally well. If thetter were to
change her agent, she would undoubtedly struggle to adapt.

Wendy''s expression softened slightly after she heard Nicole''s words.
She shook her head and reminded the girl before her, “Nickie, don''t you think the rumors about you
these days are quite baffling? Remember the video of you allegedly seducing the chief physician a
while ago? Our studio had already issued a statement to rify that it wasn''t you, just someone who
looked like you in the video. As for those pieces of messy negative news that have recently emerged,
I''m sure someone is plotting against you behind the scenes. I''ve had people looking into it secretly, but
no matter how much they investigated, they couldn''t find anything. It''s bizarre. The more I think about it,
the more I''m convinced that the mastermind behind this must have a very powerful background. Think
carefully. Have you offended anyone recently?”
Offend someone? To be honest, while Nicole hadn''t offended many people, there were definitely some
who bore a grudge against her.
In the entertainment industry, Nicole had indeed snatched a few roles from well-known actresses by
relying on her own connections. However, those actresses didn''t have as strong a background as hers,
so they could only swallow their anger when their roles were taken by her.
Nicole could confidently say that, due to her parents'' status, there was really no one in the
entertainment industry who dared to mess with her. If that person isn''t from the entertainment industry,
they could onlye from...
Nicole recalled the numerous times she had secretly harmed Avery and thought of Cayden''s cold and
gloomy gaze. There was also the time he had ordered her kidnapping and watched as the white snake
bit into her flesh while wearing an unkind half-smile on his face.
Goosebumps covered Nicole''s entire body. Could it be him?
She even staggered two steps back in shock, her eyes wide open as if overwhelmed by terrifying
memories.
“Nickie, what''s wrong?” Wendy tugged at Nicole anxiously, only to hear thetter''s terrified scream,
“Ah!”
Startled by her shout, Wendy patted Nicole''s shoulder, only to see her staring nkly back. Nicole''s
eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness. “Wendy, I know who''s been pulling the strings
against me. It''s him. It has to be him!”
“Who?” A sense of foreboding surged in Wendy''s heart.
“Cayden!” Nicole said through gritted teeth, “I have a deep grudge against Avery. I''ve done some bad
things to her in the past. She must have instigated Cayden to take revenge on me!”
Upon hearing it was Cayden, Wendy was first taken aback. Then, she said with an aching head, “If it''s
him, then we''re in trouble. Unless your father steps in, we''repletely helpless.”
With a hint of embarrassment, Nicole said, “Wendy, given my current situation, I feel like my dad is
somewhat disappointed in me, let alone the fact that he doesn''t like me being involved in the
entertainment industry. I doubt he would help me. Although my mom usually dotes on me, she always
listens to my dad when ites down to some crucial moments.”
Wendy sighed again, subtly hinting at Nicole. “Then why don''t you find a powerful support like Cayden?
Isn''t the third son of the Xenos family interested in you? Nickie, you must seize the opportunity.
Otherwise, your already worrisome situation will worsen.”
Despite her extreme reluctance, Nicole still nodded firmly with a grimace.
She wasn''t going to give up until thest moment.
Avery only stayed in the hospital for two days before Alina sent her back home. Thetter argued that
although the private hospital had a pleasant environment, it wasn''t good for the expectant mother and
the unborn child to stay there for a long period.
In the end, she resorted to threatening Avery with a hunger strike to persuade her niece to return home
for rest and recuperation.
Avery, who was left with no other options by her aunt''s nagging, could only turn to Cayden for advice.
Cayden arranged for two highly experienced caregivers for Alina. They took turns to keep Alina
company at the hospital. Only then did Avery feel relieved enough to leave the hospital.
The weather was calm and sunny at the mansion.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, one could see the azure sky and the etherealyers of
clouds. Everything was so dreamily beautiful, yet Avery''s heart was in stark contrast to the lovely
weather.
“What are you thinking about?” Cayden closed his notebook, reaching out from behind to embrace
Avery, who was lying in front of the window, gazing at the sky.
Avery furrowed her brows. “I''m still very worried about Aunt Alina''s illness. She''s already so sick, but
she still refuses to undergo surgery.”
Cayden held her even tighter, his chin resting in the crook of her neck, his voice maic and deep.
“Don''t worry. I''ve already contacted the most experienced doctor specializing in mammary nds. He
will arrive in Ackleton soon. We will avoid surgery if possible, but if it''s absolutely necessary, we''ll strive
to minimize the wound. This might make it easier for your aunt to ept.”
Avery nodded gently. “I thank you on behalf of Aunt Alina.”
“Silly girl.”
“By the way, Mrs. Lambert has been reaching out to me these past few days. She wants me to draw
design ns for herpany. Also, her attitude towards me has been somewhat strangetely. I don''t
know if it''s just my imagination, but I feel like she''s been particrly friendly toward me.”
Avery recalled ire''s attitude towards her and couldn''t shake the feeling that something was off.
