    “Okay, if it means that much to you, I’ll text you the amountter. Just transfer it to that number when


    you get a chance.”


    Ivy felt a wave of relief wash over her at Nn’s words.


    “Sure thing! Thanks for swinging by the set, Nn.”


    He grinned, resisting the urge to ruffle her hair as he often did.


    That afternoon, they were scheduled to shoot scenes featuring the secondary lead, Diana. The rest of


    the cast and crew had assumed her scenes would be postponed due to her injury, but to everyone’s


    surprise, she limped back onto the set, leaning on crutches.


    Colton could not hide his shock. “Diana, why aren’t you resting at home? We agreed to push back your


    scenes, didn’t we?”


    Diana offered a slight smile, her assistant looking less than pleased by her side.


    “Colton, it’s just a scratch-no need to shuffle the entire production schedule on my ount. Besides, if


    it were serious, I would not have returned,” she said, her eyes twinkling despite the bandages around


    her foot.


    Ivy stood off to the side, listening to their exchange.


    In the chaos of dealing with the recent drama, she had forgotten to visit Diana. After all, Diana’s injury


    was indirectly caused by her.


    She made a mental note to find a quiet momentter to apologize to Diana.


    But before Ivy had a chance to approach her, Diana, assisted by her aide, made her over to Ivy.


    Ivy quickly stood, offering a hand to help Diana sit, but Diana subtly sidestepped her gesture.


    Ivy paused, a bit embarrassed, retracting her hand awkwardly.


    “Ms. Dunhill, I only heard about the whole Giselle situation in the hospital. I can’t believe she’d use her


    clout to bully the newbies and try to frame you! If you had not found evidence to clear your name, there


    might’ve been a rift between us. But look at us now-you’re the new public darling, and I’m right behind


    you. Giselle, with all her years as an award-winning actress? She’s practically yesterday’s news!”


    Diana seemed timid and gentle, yet her words were brimming with ambition, far from what one would


    expect from her soft appearance.


    Ivy’s brow furrowed slightly. She was not interested in poprity contests; she was focused on her


    craft, hoping to let her acting skills speak for themselves.


    Besides, Giselle’s longstanding status as an award-winning actress surely was not unfounded. Diana’s


    comments seemed a bit unfair.


    “I’m d you’re okay,” Ivy responded simply, not really close to Diana to begin with.


    Had it not been for Giselle’s interference, Ivy would hardly have exchanged words with Diana at all.


    With Diana upying her space, Ivy stood aside. Out of consideration for Diana’s injury, she chose not


    to make an issue of it.


    However, Diana seemed to look down on Ivy’s silence, scoffing at the thought of Ivy as Colton’s leading


    lady.


    If it were not for the powerful Balfour backing her, how could Ivy have possibly be the most


    popr up-anding actress?


    Regardless of the envy brewing inside, Diana knew she had to maintain a good rtionship with Ivy,


    considering the influence of the Howard family behind her


    Her agent had made it clear before she arrived on set: aligning with the Howards could only benefit her


    career.


    “Ms. Dunhill, there’s no need to be on guard around me. We’re both victims here and as colleagues in


    the same production, we should be allies, Diana said, extending an olive branch masked with ulterior


    motives.
