Chapter 91
Sofia couldn’t help but scoff at the privileged air that surrounded Natalie. “You think you’re something special just because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. If it weren’t for your brother, your family would be nobodies. And let’s not forget who pulled him back from death’s door on the battlefield.”
Natalie offered a soft, dismissive laugh in return. “And if he hadn’t been a decorated war hero. would you have risked your life to save him? I think not. It takes a woman with real guts to come from the other side of the tracks and still have the heart to welcome someone like you
into the family.”
“Well played!” Miller, who had been watching the exchange, couldn’t help but praise Natalie’s poise under fire.
The script called for Sofia to throw a cup of coffee at Natalie in a fit of rage. But instead, Sofia suddenly stood up and, with a fierce swing, slapped Natalie across the face. “How dare you!”
The slap left the room in stunned silence.
A flicker of shock passed through Natalie’s eyes, quickly replaced by tears that threatened to spill over as she clutched her reddening cheek.
In an instant, she had seamlessly channeled her emotions into the scene.
Miller was about to step in, but realizing the scene was still rolling and Natalie hadn’t called for a cut, he signaled the crew to keep filming.
Three minutes later, Miller called “Cut!” and rushed over to inspect Natalie’s face, which bore the clear imprint of Sofia’s hand, swelling visibly.
Sofia had hit her for real!
Miller turned to Sofia and said sternly, “Natalie has more scenes this afternoon. How do you expect her to shoot now?”

“Tell Gavin to find a better actress to replace Sofia within a week. We’ll reshoot all her scenes,” Natalie said, her eyes never leaving her script.
Rosie’s hand paused on Natalie’s cheek. How could this woman remain so composed while uttering such heartless words?
“Have the PR team leak evidence of Sofia’s on–set feuds and her tampering with the script tonight. That way, the studio has grounds for recasting, and we can appease the fans,” Natalie continued evenly. “And while we’re at it, let’s drum up some more buzz for ‘Dazzling Destinies.“” It would kill two birds with one stone. Natalie wasn’t opposed to giving Gavin a hand.
Since Sofia wanted to play rough, it would be her downfall.
