    “… I decided I wouldn’t allow them to take a bite from those properties but those people were adamant.


    They made an article with lots of fake pictures that stated that I killed my grandfather because he was


    sexually harassing me…” Jeslyn’s voice broke but she held back the tears. 1


    “Some of the articles said that my grandfather wanted me to have a quicky with him before I left for my


    husband’s ce but because I refused, the man pped me, then I pushed him. Hahaha… people are


    sick…” teardrops escaped her eyes even though she tried to stop them.


    Manager Kate passed her a tissue box that was on top of her desk.


    “Thank you,” Jeslyn epted, pulled out a few tissues, and wiped her tears with them.


    “Did you give them the properties?” Manager Kate asked.


    “Of course,” she folded the used tissues and ced them on the desk in front of her, then continued:


    “How could I have allowed my grandfather’s good reputation to be sullied like that? He’s a dead man,


    he can’te back to clear his name…” she took a long pause.


    “My grandfather used to tell me that a good name is the only thing we leave for the next generation and


    he urged me to keep my te clean before I die, so how can I not keep his te clean?”


    “What if they had released the fake news even after giving them the properties?”


    Jeslyn shook her head, “They had more to lose.”


    “How so?”


    “A desperate person who has nothing to lose fears nothing. They probably didn’t want to push me too


    hard because they know that I’d fight back, after all, prisoners do escape from prison very often and I


    have been one of them.”


    Manager Kate nodded, “You did the right thing… So about Christine?”


    “It’s my revenge for her.” Jeslyn grinned like a viin.


    “She’s not the mastermind, is she?”


    Jeslyn shook her head, “Christine isn’t the mastermind but she’ll face the biggest revenge from me and


    that’s because she took more than just my grandfather from me. She bankrupted me emotionally.” She


    raised her gaze to stare into her Manager’s eyes.


    “Have you ever been betrayed by a person you love so much?”


    Manager Kate didn’t respond, so Jeslyn went ahead, taking that as a silent approval.“Then you know


    how she made me and my mother feel. For that, she deserves to feel ten times what my mum and I


    felt.”


    “That’s fine. So now, you’ll have to work on your voice and transition. As Jeslyn, you’ll stick to only one


    voice and mustn’t give yourself away. I won’t ask you for the details of your revenge but I’m anticipating


    it. So don’t ruin it”


    “Hehe, thank you so much, Jeslyn chuckled.


    Brian arrived at the set in thepany’s ck van.


    The reporters were already waiting to swarm around him but Brian would rather sleep in the car all day


    than give the reporters a chance to ask him stupid questions regarding the scandalous photos that


    were published by that Vixen’spany.


    “Brother Brian, the reporters are everywhere, what should we do?” One of the Assistants asked.


    “If there’s no way to get into the set, turn the car around and tell the director that I got a cold from


    shooting in the snow yesterday,” Brian saidzily with his eyes closed.


    “But today’s scenes are very important, they-”


    “Just stop talking and take me in if you can, but if you can’t, shut your mouth and turn the car around!”


    Brian said, a little annoyed. Whenever he sees reporters and paparazzi around him, he gets really


    frustrated.


    “We’ll go through the back. I just hope there aren’t crazy fans and reporters waiting there too.” The


    second Assistant chimed in and turned the car around.


    Brian entered the set and went straight to the dressing room without seeing or speaking to anyone.


    The director and the others were worried that Brian who was ying the Second Male lead role wasn’t


    there yet.


    The average–sized man with a head full of disheveled hair nced at his wristwatch and asked his


    Assistant director.


    “What is going on? Brian has neverete to sets before. Hope he didn’t catch a cold from


    yesterday’s shoot?”


    The Young man shook his head, “One of his Assistants called and said Brian is on his way. He must


    have been stuck in traffic.”


    “I hope so. Today’s scene is very important and Piper will create a scene if it’s not shot today.” The


    director wore a frown.


    “That girl is bing too much of a nuisance ever since her rtionship with Alpha Chaos is made


    public. You just have to exercise a little more patience, the movie is rounding up soon. After this, I hope


    you won’t ept her in any movie from now on! The Assistant Manager said.


    “Right, Oliver Feng Long wanted her in this teen drama as the only condition to ept the Male lead


    role. What else could we have done? Brian didn’t want to be the Male lead because the Second Male


    lead role suits his style better and it’s also the gem of the story and if yed well, he’ll outshine the


    male lead.”


    The Assistant Director sighed. “Those two, they’ll never stop getting on each other’s nerves.”


    The reason why Brian wanted the Second Male lead role was to beat Oliver Feng Long. The two artists


    are unique in their own ways. While Brian is an all–weather, ying around all the avable sections in


    the Entertainment industry, Oliver is an actor and a model.


    The two actors debuted at the same time and people wouldn’t stopparing them. Even though Brian


    has more fans, he wouldn’t let go of chances to prove to Oliver that he is better which was why,


    whenever there’s a movie that requires them both to be in it, Brian would always choose to be the


    Second Male lead who in the end would mostly outshine the quiet Male lead.


    After all, who doesn’t like a bad boy with good qualities in a film?
