"W-well...isn’t it the reason you’re doing so well?" Diana asked.


    A smirk pulled on Viviana’s lips as she pulled out her phone and got ready to record the moment.


    "You’re a newbie actress, and I’d advise you to stop listening to rumors, especially when there’s no proof," Anastasia said, her voice now devoid of emotion. "Maybe that’s why you can’t even say your lines correctly. You’re too busy focusing on gossip instead of working on yourself." Her words were sharp and direct.


    "If you keep thinking this way, don’t be surprised when a rumor is created about you, and another actress believes it—just like you did." Anastasia’s cold tone left no room for sympathy, only hard truth.


    Immediately, Diana regretted all that she’d said earlier.


    Her face lowered in shame as tears poured from her eyes.


    "I only wanted toe here to check up on you, not to get pped in the face with rumors from useless sources."


    Anastasia tore her gaze from the girl and sighed.


    "Thirty minutes is almost up. Hurry up ande out, else you’ll get an earful from director Jeunes."


    Viviana quickly found a spot to hide as she watched Anastasia exit the restroom.


    She swung her phone in her hand, carefully ying with it as a grin continued to stretch on her lips.


    "Now, this is going to be interesting."


    She opened the phone and watched the video she’d just recorded, which yed from when Anastasia scolded Diana and stopped before her tone softened.


    Without batting an eysh, Viviana created a new ount and uploaded the video on the inte while making sure to tag the people she’d just recorded.


    Anastasia and her fellow cast members continued with scenes for the next few hours without anyone getting the chance to check the notifications ringing on their phones.


    <i>Later in the evening,</i>


    Anastasia sat in her makeup room as Allison and Natalie helped wipe her makeup and change into her casual clothes.


    "It’s such a tiring day," Anastasia mumbled as she stared at herself through the mirror.


    After Allison and Natalie were done, they bid her goodbye.


    Then, she perched back on her seat, finally touching her phone to check her notifications.


    Anastasia immediately saw the videos she was recently tagged in by fans, however, one caught her attention the most. It was a video uploaded by an odd ount.


    Seeing it was an odd ount, Anastasia already predicted the video could be another shaming one like Michelle had done in the past.


    Anastasia tapped on it and watched the video from beginning till the end, and instantly, she had an idea of who might have uploaded it.


    Sighing in regret, Anastasia closed her phone and stepped out of the makeup room, where ring eyes found her and refused to look away.


    Anastasia concluded they’d already seen the video.


    However, she didn’t bother to exin herself, so she walked elegantly towards the gate where her husband was waiting for her.


    "Xavier..." She immediately wrapped her hands around Xavier, his nerve calming cologne filling her nostrils and she breathed it in more.


    "Sorry I got herete, there was a little bit of traffic on the road," he exined as he pecked her on the lips.


    "It’s alright." She hugged him tighter, wishing she could just sleep in his arms already.


    Ignoring the prying eyes of the people behind them, Anastasia got into the car and left.


    Unbeknownst to her, Viviana had been ring at her back since she came out of her makeup room.


    "Is it just me or Xavier Wace only got more handsome with the years that have passed?" An actress asked from behind Viviana.


    "What are you saying? That man has always been handsome. The fact he’s almost forty in a few years, and still looking that handsome makes me wet for his cock," another said.


    "I’m so jealous of Anastasia. She’s the one getting that all for herself. She could atleast share," the first one responded.


    "That cock, I will be the one getting it," Viviana interjected.


    The other two actresses stared at Viviana in confusion.


    "Anastasia was the reason for my family’s destruction, and it would only be fair if I do the same thing for her, don’t you think?" She whispered with a hushed tone, only for them to hear.
