?Chapter 460:


    “What did you just say?” Dovisa froze, questioning what she had heard. Had this woman actually mocked her age?


    In the entertainment industry, discussing a woman’s age was strictly taboo. And if there was one thing Dovisa detested, it was references to her getting older.


    Laughter sounded from nearby.


    Dovisa’s face stiffened as she spotted Francesca Simone behind them, her expression quickly souring. “What are youughing at?”


    Francesca casually leaned against a pir, offering an innocent shrug. “What’s wrong withughing? Is there some kind of rule against it?”


    Dovisa’s brow creased deeply.


    Francesca, ying the third female lead in this film, was known to be an admirer of Louis.


    Of all the crew members, Dovisa found Francesca the least agreeable.


    Coming from a wealthy family, Francesca disyed arrogance and consistently failed to show Dovisa any respect.


    “Were you eavesdropping on us?” Dovisa confronted her.


    Stepping forward, Francesca responded, “Eavesdropping? I was already here when you arrived. How can you say I was eavesdropping? Besides, if you’re not in the wrong, what’s there to worry about with being overheard?


    “Are you scared I might mention your bullying to Louis?” Francesca added, her voice teasing.


    Dovisa inhaled sharply, panic flickering in her eyes. What had this brat overheard? Fumbling for words, she replied, “That’s absurd. When have I bullied anyone? I was merely exining things to this woman.”


    “Is that so?” Francesca smirked.


    Francesca picked up the bottle of sparkling water from the table and took a sip. Looking at Dovisa with a raised eyebrow, she asked, “I drank it. Are you going to instruct me on proper behavior now?”


    Dovisa’s expression tightened. It was clear Francesca had overheard their entire exchange.


    With the director, producer, and Louis present today, Dovisa was cautious about protecting her reputation. After a brief pause, she forced a smile, attempting to appear unconcerned. “Why would I? I was simply reminding this woman not to mistakenly take someone else’s belongings. If that upsets you, I apologize.”
