"Oh...well, as long as we''re all good."


    Ashley giggled, "Exactly!"


    "Emily, how did you finish this jigsaw puzzle so quickly?"


    "Easy peasy."


    "Is our Emily a little genius or what? I can''t do it nearly as fast."


    While they were talking, Emily had alreadypleted an entire jigsaw puzzle. "Yep, I''m smart."


    "Ha...self-praising, huh? Steph, she''s really taken a leaf out of your book."


    "It''s good to learn from me. I get along great with everyone in any filming crew! You know, I''m currently working on Mr. Finnegan''s set, watching Oscar-winning actors perform everyday. It''s awesome!" Ashley cheerfully said: "Learn as much as you can. It''ll do you good."


    "Mr. Finnegan said the same thing! You know Maximus, right?"


    "Yeah, we''ve worked together before."


    "Did he and Gracie...have a thing?"


    Ashley paused and replied: "Err... They seemed to, back in the day, but I lost track after that."


    "Was Maximus on the same set as you when...you had your incident?"


    Ashley hesitated before nodding: "Yeah. We had only filmed half of that movie... It was my fault that everyone was affected."Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "I think I''m starting to piece things


    together... Maximus said that him


    meeting Gracie would ruin her


    appetite. They were close before, but now... Maybe Gracie resents

    for you... Just like she resents


    Brook..."


    Ashley gave a bitter smile: "I''ve held Gracie back too much... At her age, she should''ve been married with kids by now."


    "Don''t say that... Who can predict fate! Maybe their paths wouldn''t cross tillter!"


    Ashley said: "Steph, what are you up to now?"


    "Hehe, Maximus is now an A-lister, a great actor and still single! Isn''t Gracie single too? They had a thing but couldn''t be together because of you. Now that you''re fine, maybe they can rekindle their old me?"


    "Whatever! If you really could marry off Gracie, I''d be nothing but grateful!"


    "Hahaha, with your blessing, I''m all in!"


    Just as she finished the sentence, a loud bang sounded in the house. Stephanie and Ashley jumped up from the couch in shock.


    Emily, who was redoing the jigsaw puzzle, turned pale and started shaking.


    Stephanie quickly hugged her andforted: "Don''t be scared, Emily... Someone''s just doing a show outside! It''s all fake."


    But Emily was no fool... Her front door had been knocked open from the outside. This was clearly no show.
