Chapter 1075


    Crysti’s face turned pale as a sheet in an instant. She looked at Philip in shock, only to find the


    other woman smirking at her..


    “Sorry, my bad.” Philip’s voice was full of regret and tenderness, but it only made Crysti feel sick to


    her stomach.


    A baby? Last night?


    She swallowed her fear and looked at the other woman, the so–called eye candy in the


    entertainment industry, Melinda.


    With her rich dad’s connections, she got into showbiz, and with Infinity Media, any script she liked


    was hers, no matter how much the writer or director stuck to their principles. It was all because she


    came with a heap of investment.


    She strutted into the set with her money, a move considered shady in the industry, but she did it


    without a care in the world. She was dubbed a eye candy because she was just that, both in real life


    and on the screen.


    Thanks to Infinity Media’s efforts, they managed to convince Melinda to take on this role, always


    securing her father’s investment and never looking back.


    It was a win–win situation.


    The eye candy roles in the entertainment industry did have their impact. There were controversies


    in the beginning, but people got used to it. After all, you needed all sorts of characters in a show.


    The eye candy was indispensable in almost every show.


    So, in the end, it didn’t matter. Being an eye candy was just another character setting.


    She suddenly understood why Philip had been insisting on starting the shooting. An eye candy with


    a ton of money wanting to start shooting, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?


    The sad part was that she, from the respected Watson family, was the fool here. She thought she


    had found real love, defied the Reeds, and ran away from home, just to be with this man. And now,


    this man had just pped her in the face, hard.


    “Ha…”


    Crysti suddenly chuckled, then burst intoughter. “Haha…hahaha…”


    Her shoulders were shaking violently, she was almostughing her tears out. Her suddenughter


    in the hospital room seemed mad and eerie.


    Philip frowned at her, his face turning ugly. “What’s so funny?”


    “Hahaha…” Crysti was stillughing. After a while, she finally managed to hold back herughter


    and said, “Congrattions, Philip. Your movie, that’s been two years in the making, finally found its


    investor. Your looks and body aren’t going to waste.”


    Chloe tugged at the corner of her mouth in the bathroom, didn’t expect this woman to have some


    fight in her. She kept arranging the flowers in the vase, listening to themotion outside..


    Philip clearly caught her sarcasm, and his face turned serious. Was she suggesting that he had sold


    his body and relied on pleasing women to achieve his goals?


    “Crysti! Have you gone mad?” He couldn’t believe it. The woman who used to be so obedient was


    now mocking him.


    Crysti smiled lightly, “I’m not mad. I’m just blind. For the past two years, I’ve been blindly trusting


    you, a person who only knows how to hurt others.”


    “You…”


    Philip couldn’t stand her insult. He wanted to retort, but he held back.


    He knew the new show was about to start, and Crysti’s role was crucial. She was the only one who


    could y the role. If he pissed her off, she would not only quit but would also find someone else to


    rece her, which would cost him millions of dors in pay.


    “Crysti, I did have something going onst night, and couldn’t be with you. I know you’re upset with


    me now. If you want to vent, go ahead and vent at me. I’m willing to take it.”


    Crysti looked at him with a sarcastic smile.


    “Why should you take it? Why should you watch her mood?” the other woman said.


    “Melinda, don’t make a scene…” Philip tried to appease her.


    “What am I doing? We’re about to get married, and I’m carrying our baby. That woman has been


    hanging around you for so long, are you nning to let her stick around even after we’re married?”


    Crysti kept her eyes down, stuggling to keep the smile on her face. She listened as Melinda talked


    about the baby in her belly and their impending marriage.


    They were having a baby, and she was thest one to know?


    How foolish! Foolish to the extreme!


    Before Philip could say anything, Crysti spoke in a calm voice.


    “Of course not. I might be foolish, but I won’t do something so undignified. Rest assured, even if he


    begs me on his knees, I won’t appear by his side again!”


    Melinda was stunned, her heavily made–up face showing a fierce expression.


    “Who do you think you are, wanting Philip to beg you on his knees? Who gave you such big


    confidence?”


    Crystiughed, “Who gave you such big confidence then?”


    Melinda turned red, “Bitch! Try me, and I’ll make sure you’re kicked out of the industry!”

    “I doubt you have the power to.” Her voice was calm, her expression cool, without a trace of


    sadness or sorrow. Philip quietly looked at her; he once thought she had a unique charm. She was


    like a well–breddy, every move pleasing to the eye. when she was with him, she was so


    obedient, enduring all hardships, that he overlooked it. But that initial charm had left a deep


    impression on him, so


    I was just thatter,


    the character in the show was designed based on her.


    It had been a long time since he saw her. He hadpletely ignored her before, so now when she


    stopped being submissive, he was a little taken aback. “I don’t have the power? Hmph, I’d like to


    see if you can get any good scripts in the future? You should think about how you will feed yourself!


    Don’t starve to death!”


    Melinda was really pissed off by Crysti’s words, especially the charm she suddenly exuded, which


    she found annoying.


    She was just a low–level actress, why was she imitating others‘ princess–like charm? Disgusting!


    Melinda clung to Philip’s arm, trying to pull him out of the room, but Philip kept staring at Crysti, his


    face showing hesitation.

    He finally stopped, looked deeply at Crysti, and said, “You’re all fired up right now, and it’s probably


    not the best time to be making decisions. Your role is crucial, you know. I’ve always valued this y


    a lot, and it’s gonna boost your rep in showbiz too… so, cool your jets, will ya?”


    “Philip!” Melinda stomped her foot, fuming.


    “Alright, alright, let’s leave.”


    Philip quickly wrapped his arm around Melinda, soothing her as they made their way out of the


    hospital room.
