<b>Chapter </b>67


    Theodore noticed that Charlie was deliberately targeting him, his eyes shing coldly as he red at Charlie.


    Joe and the crew knew it was time to leave, so they turned and headed outside.


    Theodore didn’t move. Instead, he dered, “I am her husband.”


    As soon as he said that, Joe and the crew, who hadn’t gone far, were stunned. They whipped their heads around and stared in shock at the people inside the room.


    Husband? What the heck?


    Were they legally married? So what was that love triangle they had imagined all about?


    Just then, J, who had been following behind, reached the door. However, she hadn’t heard what Theodore said, so she still didn’t know what was happening.


    J naturally walked into the room and look around the lounge. After a look, her face remained calm, but inside, she was burning with jealousy.


    Why did Reba get such a lovely lounge in the crew?


    It was all because Theodore and Charlie had poured money into the production.


    Two men, one spending 20 million for Reba, the other throwing in forty million.


    What did Reba have to deserve this?


    Why did so many people like her?


    Did she deserve it?


    She was just an orphan with no parents.


    J kept her thoughts to herself. She tried to suppress her jealousy and turned to Theodore with a soft, tender expression. “Theodore, it’s gettingte. We should go back and get some <b>rest</b>,” she said gently.


    J knew her goal clearly.


    What she wanted now was only Theodore.


    It had to be him.


    From the moment she was pregnant with his child and decided to keep it, she was determined to make things

    official and married him.


    First, because she truly loved Theodore. Ever since he woke up and saw him for the first time, she had fallen. hopelessly in love. She had to marry him.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Second, now that all the fans knew she was having his baby, she couldn’t imagine how the media and fans would react if they didn’t end up married.


    She couldn’t bear to lose the man she loved or see her career fall apart. She had to be with Theodore.


    J’s words floored Joe and the crew inside the room. Their minds raced with bewildering thoughts.


    What kind of mess was this?


    Was this the life of the rich and powerful?


    It was all so chaotic!


    When Theodore invited everyone to lunch just a moment ago, they genuinely thought he was there to visit J. But looking at everything that happened afterward…


    Theodore suddenly invested 20 million, and Charlie invested forty million.


    And now, with Theodore and Charlie in a tense standoff in the room, Theodore shamelessly insisted on staying in Reba’s lounge, even dering he <b>was </b>her husband.


    So it was clear who Theodore was really there for.


    J truly had some nerve.


    Had female stars in the entertainment industry be so audacious about being <b>mistresses</b>? Her maniptive schemes were practically in the legitimate wife’s face.


    But that wasn’t even the most shocking part. The real question was, what was going on between Reba and Charlie?


    A top–tier actor and a wealthy you


    youngdy?dy?


    Oh my, there were just too many juicy tidbits today. They were struggling to process it all!


    Reba was exasperated. She red at Theodore, utterly baffled by what was going on in his head.


    Hadn’t he been the one wanting a divorce every day before?


    Now, she was


    ready to part ways, too.

    Then they should have divorced, gone their separate ways, and lived their own lives. Wasn’t that sensible?


    Was it really just because the kids didn’t take hisst name?


    What a joke!


    When he had threatened her with their lives, did he ever concern for the kids then?


    As Reba thought about it, she suddenly raised her hand, ready to p Theodore hard.


    But there was no way Theodore would let her hit him.


    As soon as she raised her hand, he lifted his own, ready to grab her arm.


    Just then, out of nowhere, Debra kicked Theodore squarely, sending him stumbling backward.


    “Theodore!” J, who had been standing by his side, was startled and quickly rushed to support him.


    With J’s help, Theodore managed to keep from fallingpletely, saving a bit of face. But it did nothing to quell the raging fury inside him.


    He thought, Kicked again! Is kicking people a family trait for the Carters? Has Charlie taught them that? Every single one of them seems to be a pro at spitting and kicking! Especially Reba. She’s picked up all their bad habits, too. Last time, she spat at me, and just now, she’s raising her hand. Was she really about to hit me?”


    Theodore red at Reba as he sneered, “Reba, so you insist on hanging out with them, don’t you? Just don’t forget your status. You are still a married woman!” he roared.


    That afternoon, two female bodyguards appeared by Reba’s side. They shadowed her every move, following her wherever she went. Theodore had arranged them.


    Seeing this, Debra was furious and immediately called the police.


    Stalking and infringing on someone’s privacy was illegal.


    News of Theodore hiring bodyguards to monitor his wife spread quickly, causing the Edwards‘ stock to start plummeting


    Far away in Maeloria, Michael learned the truth and was furious. He immediately called and ordered Theodore to


    return.


    With Theodore gone, peace finally returned to the set.

    Without any more eyesores around, Reba found her time on set to be quite pleasant. She dedicated herself to learning her role, practicing every day, and continued rehearsing at home each night.


    Reba repeatedly practiced her scenes privately, often getting guidance from Charlie, who corrected many of her mistakes.


    Even Joe watched her practice and saw her performance improve from barely passable to genuinely good. When it came time for actual filming, Reba nailed three scenes in one day, all in one take, much to Joe’s satisfaction.


    A monthter, all the scenes featuring the sister character werepleted. After repeatedly reviewing Reba’s performances, Joe grew increasingly pleased. He even felt that Charlie and Reba were real siblings, both on and off the screen.


    Their resemnce and the way they interacted gave off a strong brother–sister vibe.


    Sometimes, Joe wondered if he was imagining things.


    How could Charlie and Reba be real siblings?


    But the more he thought about it, the more he was convinced that he had made the right casting choice. Reba was perfect for the role of the male lead’s sister.


    Joe even had a hunch that Reba’s portrayal of the sister might be quite popr once the show aired.
