The first day of shooting was abuzz with energy. The production team moved swiftly, ensuring every detail was perfect. From setting up lighting to adjusting the props, everyone was engrossed in their tasks. Amidst the hustle, many cast and crew members couldn’t help but glance toward the entrance, eagerly waiting for someone to arrive. 

Ever since they had seen Lily’s audition tape, whispers of her talent and beauty had spread like wildfire. Her striking presence and incredible acting skills had left a lasting impression. Now, everyone was curious to meet her in person, to see if she truly lived up to the hype. 

Inside the dressing area, Rose and Leon, the lead actors, were already in their costumes, ready for the first take. Meanwhile, Director Young busied himself with last–minute instructions to his assistant, fine–tuning the setup for the opening scene. His focus broke the moment Lily entered the room with Mia by her side. 

All eyes turned to her. 

Lily walked in gracefully, her simple yet elegant attire emphasizing her natural beauty. Without a hint of makeup, she radiated an effortless charm that seemed to light up the room. There was an air of poise about her–a quiet confidence that drew people in. 

The room stilled, captivated by her presence. Even seasoned crew members found themselves glancing at her in awe, their admiration plain on their faces. 

Rose, standing off to the side, clenched her fists tightly. Jealousy burned within her. Why are they all looking at her like she’s some goddess? What’s so special about her? She’s just a pretty face who knows how to manipulate people. 

A bitter smile crept across her lips. Not for long. Once Dad’s plan unfolds, we’ll see how she handles it. Enjoy this fleeting spotlight, Lily. I’ll make sure you’re removed from this film before you even settle in. 

Her thoughts were interrupted as Lily and Mia approached Director Young. 

“Good morning, Director Young,” they greeted in unison. 

Director Young greeted them warmly, his smile genuine. “Good morning! Lily, there’s not much for you to do today. You have a small introductory scene, so you can relax and take it easy for now.” 

“Thank you, Director Young. I’ll be ready when needed,” Lily replied, her tone professional yet warm. 

Director Young nodded before heading off to address another issue with his assistant. 

As soon as he walked away, Rose seized the opportunity and made her way toward Lily. Mia, noticing her approach, let out a sarcastic snort. 

“Here comes your so–called beloved sister,” Mia muttered under her breath, her expression laced with 

disdain. 

Rose flinched at the jab but plastered on a nervous smile as she addressed Lily. “Elder Sister…” she said, her 

tone soft and hesitant. 

Mia, quick to intercept, gave her a saccharine smile. “Miss Rose, is there something you need?” 

Rose turned to Mia, forcing politeness into her voice. “Hello, Miss Mia. I was hoping to speak with my elder sister privately.”

Mia’s eyes sparkled with amusement, though her tone dripped with sarcasm. “Elder sister? Funny, I don’t recall you calling her that yesterday.” 

The color drained from Rose’s face, her nerves betraying her. Panic flickered in her eyes. Did this woman tell Mia everything? How much does she know? 

Feigning ignorance, Rose tilted her head, her voice tinged with confusion. “Miss Mia, I’m not sure what you’re implying. What are you talking about?” 

Mia’s smile turned cold. “Oh, don’t play coy with me, Miss Rome. You know exactly what I mean. But if you insist on pretending, let me make something very clear.” 

Her voice sharpened, each word landing like a blow. “My artist isn’t some cheap thief who steals credit for other people’s hard work. And instead of showing gratitude, you have the audacity to insult her? Let me tell you this–such behavior won’t be tolerated.” 

Rose’s composure wavered, her fake smile barely holding as Mia’s words struck their mark. 

Mia’s sharp words landed like a slap across Rose’s face. Her fingers curled into tight fists as she struggled to keep her temper in check. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to maintain a calm facade. 

“Elder Sister… I’m sorry,” Rose said, her voice soft and apologetic, though her eyes betrayed her insincerity. 

Reaching for Lily’s hand, she continued, “I really regret what happened yesterday. I was angry and said things I didn’t mean. Please forgive me.” 

Her tone dripped with fake remorse, but the thoughts running through her mind were far from sincere. I need to stay close to this woman if Dad’s plan is going to work. For now, I have to act nice. 

Before Lily could respond, Mia stepped forward, brushing off Rose’s hand and pulling Lily aside. “Lily, let’s go. Don’t waste your time on people who aren’t worth it. You need to get ready for your scene.” 

With that, Mia firmly led Lily toward the dressing room. 

Left standing there, Rose’s polite expression twisted into a scowl. Her nails dug into her palms as rage simmered beneath her composed exterior. How dare you ignore me, Lily? Just wait. Your days here are numbered. 

“Rose, your scene is ready, her manager, Nathan, called out. 

Turning on her heel, Rose plastered on a bright smile and strode toward the set, her demeanor once again polished and professional 

In the dressing room, Mia let out an exasperated sigh. “Just looking at her smug face makes my stomach 

turn. 

She handed Lily a neatly folded costume. “Here’s your dress. Go change and let’s get you ready for the shot.” Lily nodded and headed to the changing area. When she emerged dressed for her role, the makeup artist 

took over. 

The artist paused, admiring Lily’s features. “Miss Lily, you’re stunning,” she said sincerely. 

Having worked with countless celebrities, the makeup artist rarely encountered such natural beauty. Lily’s
