"Wait a bit, this little bit of dirt isn’t enough to topple his status in the entertainment industry. When he’s completely lost the trust of his fans, even a small pebble could keep him down forever," Aurelia Shaw squinted her eyes.

...

At eight in the evening, after the play ended, Aurelia Shaw took off her makeup and asked Amanda to drop her off at the intersection in front of the set.

She took out a makeup box, checked herself, and caught a glimpse of the car approaching behind her, a faint smile playing on her red lips.

Aurelia Shaw got up and got out of the car.

...

"In such cold weather, having me come out here for an outdoor shoot, I really don’t know what they’re thinking. If there’s a scene like this again, just reject it for me!" Ethan complained to his agent.

Suddenly, he saw the parked car on the roadside, and the woman smoking beside it... wasn’t that Aurelia Shaw!

Waiting here for him on purpose?

Ha, he should have known, no actress wanting to rise would refuse the hidden rules, right?

"Stop the car by the side of the road?" Ethan said.

The agent furrowed his brow in confusion, having also noticed Aurelia Shaw, he couldn’t help but warn Ethan, "This woman has ties with Mason, and she’s from the Shaw Family, you’d best..."

"Just an uncherished daughter of the Shaw Family, and didn’t Mason already discard her? A woman played by someone else, I’ll just have some fun with her." Ethan’s eyes gleamed like a predator’s. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Clara Philips constantly portrayed Aurelia Shaw as uncherished at home to outsiders, claiming her daughter Jovana Shaw was the true pampered princess of the Shaw Family. Everyone assumed Aurelia Shaw had no status in the Shaw Family.

Ethan naturally thought so too.

The car pulled over, Ethan got out and went to Aurelia Shaw’s side, taking out a lighter to light the cigarette dangling from her mouth.

Aurelia Shaw lifted her eyes and glanced at him, "Young Master Ethan, what a coincidence?"

"I never believe in coincidences." Ethan smirked, in the night her face looked even more alluring, and her eyes seemed like hooks, making his heart itch.

"Oh? Then what do you believe in?" Aurelia exhaled a puff of smoke toward his face.

Ethan leaned in, hands on the car behind her, trapping her in his embrace, and smirked wickedly, "I believe in fate."

"Is that so..." Aurelia said softly, "But I don’t."

"Then what do you believe in?" Ethan asked, entranced by her.

"Me? You guess," Aurelia smirked.

Damn it! This woman is a demon.

Ethan had never encountered such a woman, unruly and dissolute, as if she didn’t care about anyone yet compelled you to approach like a poison, addictive at a single breath.

Unable to bear it, he pinched her chin, lowering his head to kiss.

Aurelia turned her head to dodge, avoiding his touch entirely, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Amanda give an OK gesture, then pushed him away forcefully.

Her expression turned stern and cold, "Young Master Ethan, please behave yourself! We are merely in a cooperative relationship, I don’t wish for any other unpleasantness beyond that."

Ethan frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

This woman’s face changed faster than flipping a book.

Aurelia extinguished her cigarette and flicked it, landing it right on Ethan.

Ethan cursed.

She said calmly, "The inappropriate things you did on set today, I’ve noted them down. One day, I’ll settle this score with you. We still have three more scenes to shoot together. You can still pull your little tricks, but I guarantee, the price you’ll pay will definitely make you regret it."
