Chapter 31


    Chapter 31


    When Eliza woke up, it was already the next morning.


    She had a nightmarest night. When she woke up, she realized that she was sweating so much that it


    had soaked through the pillow.


    Getting up from the bed, she charged her cell phone and went to the bathroom to wash up.


    She still vaguely remembered what happenedst night.


    Someone locked her in the resting lounge on purpose.


    Her phone was dead and her surroundings were pitch ck.


    Just when she was in despair, she saw Beau appearing before her.


    After that, she could no longer remember anything.


    However, she could remember Beau’s silhouette vividly. It was as if Superman itself had appeared before


    her eyes.


    Thinking of Beau, a streak of red surged up her cheeks and her heart drummed against her chest.


    Suddenly, the ringtone of her phone broke her reverie as she came back to her senses.


    Eliza rushed to the table to pick up her phone.


    It was Graciana. “Why didn’t you answer the call, Eliza?”


    “You’re in a lot of trouble!”


    Eliza frowned while wiping the water droplets off her face with a towel. “What is it?”


    “Madeleine posted a video of you and Jay online! It’s about what happened yesterday during work!”


    “Everyone on the inte is condemning you, saying that you’re a sl*t who’s trying to seduce Jay!”


    Eliza was stunned.


    Graciana continued speaking anxiously, “She blurred out your face and wrote that she did it to protect


    your privacy. However, her words piqued her fans’ curiosity and they’re now trying to figure out your


    identity!”


    “Based on your outfit on set, they found out that you’re working for Roseane as her stuntwoman. It won’t


    be long until they discover your identity!”


    Graciana’s words were like a knife stabbing into her heart.


    She bit her lip and searched for Madeleine’s post online.


    After reading through the post, she finally understood what Graciana meant just now.


    “I understand that you find my boyfriend attractive, but please refrain from seducing him in the future. I


    blurred out her face because I respect her privacy. If she continues to seduce Jay, I will not hesitate to


    expose her identity.”


    She attached a video below the paragraph of words. It was that incident where Jay tore open the wound


    on her shoulder, which caused her to copse to the ground.


    The video stopped after Madeleine pped Eliza’s face. Madeleine’s fans were all furious as they cursed


    Eliza for being a homewrecker!  Some of them even tagged Roseane, demanding her to fire Eliza.


    A chill went down her spine as she tried to digest the negativements about her online.


    Initially, she thought that Madeleine and Jay were trying to teach her a lesson by locking her up.


    However, it turned out that it was just a small step of their devious scheme.


    Besides forcing her into a state of mental breakdown, they also wanted to ruin Eliza’s career in the


    entertainment circle. At the same time, they could also use the chance to boost their poprity online.


    Even now, they were still trying to use her to achieve sess.


    Eliza gritted her teeth. It seemed like she had underestimated those scoundrels,


    Last night, Madeleine didn’t juste to the dressing room to threaten her. Her real motive was to check


    on the exact location of her wound.


    Jay would’ve reached out his left hand if everything went ording to the script. Instead, he changed


    into his right hand at thest minute andnded his grip precisely on her wound!


    He exerted so much force that it ripped her healing wound apart.


    While she was writhing in pain, Jay took the opportunity to hug her and Madeleine pped her just in


    time.


    Eliza was struggling to wrap her head around the fact that she had fallen straight into their trap.


    Everything that happened yesterday was part of their calctive scheme.


    “What should we do?”


    Graciana said frantically. “Eliza, why don’t you talk to them?”


    “We‘re just lowly actresses. We can’t possibly go againstmous celebrities like them…


    Eliza closed her eyes. “I will never back down.”


    She knew that they were doing this on purpose. They wanted her to beg them for mercy,


    After she rejected Jay’s request to help Madeleine in the afternoon, the couple was already scheming to


    ambush her at night.


    “But…”


    Graciana pursed her lips. “Eliza, I’m worried. You might not be able to work as a stuntwoman anymore if


    you don’t apologize to them.”


    “You were the best actress in our ss back then and we all thought that you had a bright future ahead.”


    “But now, look at what Jay did to you…”


    Graciana sobbed. She was at a loss for words.


    “I won’t give in.”


    Heaving in a deep breath, Eliza looked at herself in the mirror with a smile. “Worstes to worst. I can


    just quit and start working in another industry.”


    After she hung up the phone, Elizaid on the bed browsing through the news.


    Almost everyone on the inte was sl*t-shaming her for something she didn’t do.


    Looking at these insults, Eliza wasn’t fazed. Deep down, she knew that she didn’t do anything wrong.


    The shameless homewrecker they were talking about was none other than Madeleine herself. After a


    while, the manager from Parson Media called.  “Eliza, you never fail to surprise me. I can’t believe that


    you have the guts to offend someone as popr as them!”


    “Mr. Ellis called me just now. He wanted to see you at his officeter.”


    “I think he wants to fire you in person. I’m guessing your career in the entertainment circle ends today.”


    After that, the manager hung up the phone.


    It seemed like she still had to face reality today.


    Sighing, Eliza changed her clothes and went downstairs.


    In the living room downstairs, Braint was typing on hisptop quietly.


    When he heard her footsteps, he looked up and asked, “Does your shoulder still hurt?”


    Eliza stopped in her tracks. How did Braint know about that?


    Braint sighed and turned hisptop screen to her.


    It was the video posted by Madeleine online.


    “That man did it on purpose.”


    He turned toward her and saidpassionately, “It still hurts, doesn’t it?” Hearing his concerns, Eliza felt


    warm inside. She smiled and caressed Braint’s head, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” “I am a strong woman,


    you know?”


    Braint curled his lips. “If you’re that strong, why are you afraid of the dark then?”


    Eliza didn’t know how to answer that question.


    She coughed softly and turned to look around. “Why are you alone? Where is Demarion?”


    “Demarion?” Braint shrugged. “He’s grounded. He’s ying chess with grandpa at the moment.” “Why


    did Demarion do?” Braint looked up at stared at Eliza. His mature demeanor didn’t seem to reflect his


    age at all. “Demarion joked about daddy’s inability to give us a baby sister.”


    Eliza was speechless.


    Blushing, she didn’t dare to look Braint straight in the face. She grabbed her bag and rushed out of the


    door instantly.

    The manager informed her that Mr. Ellis would be waiting at the main office.


    After Eliza got out of the car, he found that the office was filled with decorations. It was as if thepany


    was holding an important event today.


    A red carpet was ced at the entrance with spotlights zing around the ce.


    When Tom noticed Eliza’s arrival, he came up quickly and said, “Eliza! You’re finally here. I’ve been


    waiting


    for you for a long time!”


    Eliza was taken aback.


    She looked at thevish decorations behind her and nced at Tom, who was smiling from ear to ear.


    “Are… are you that happy because I’m getting fired today?”
