That night's truth seemed to be on the verge of being exposed.Ivy decided she had to go and tell Shawn about this. Only he could think of how to resolve this. "Ivy, acting is your profession. Now, it's time for you to act, to truly display your acting skills. Stay calm, stay composed. You are a queen of the screen! From now on, you are someone who knows nothing, a naive and innocent character who has been kept in the dark!" she said to herself, looking at herself in the mirror.Anyone would have panicked when Aurum had opened the door. Even if they tried to hide or disguise it, they would inevitably show traces of their emotions on their faces, making it easy to see through them.However, Ivy was an actress. Her greatest skill was acting. She would portray herself as someone who knew nothing and would continue to act that way seamlessly so as not to arouse any suspicion from Aurum.Ivy picked up her eyebrow pencil again, wiping away the messy lines and carefully redrawing them.

"They'll be here soon. Have a seat," Aurum said."Okay."Ivy sat down and casually ran her fingers through her hair. Aurum's gaze remained on her, always with a scrutinizing air. She noticed it but pretended not to. Ivy remained perfectly composed, showing no hint of anything amiss.The two began to tango."Have you rested well these days? Feels like you haven't fully recovered," Aurum asked.Ivy replied softly, "Even when wounds heal, it leaves scars. I've been through some pretty traumatic things… Even if it heals, the scar remains.""Sorry, it's my...""Don't blame yourself. Let's not talk about that anymore and focus on the movie," Ivy interrupted.Aurum nodded, then glanced at her clothes. "You didn't come directly from home, did you?""No, I went to Wood Group."Aurum, already tense, became even more nervous at the mention of that."I'm Lovito's spokesperson. I went there today for a photoshoot. If everything goes smoothly, the adverts will be out next week, and you'll

She did not speak and looked despondent.Suddenly, Aurum stood up and walked over to her, gently patting her shoulder. Eventually, his hand settled on her shoulder, giving it a firm yet gentle squeeze. The warmth of his hand through her clothes touched her skin, and it tingled.Ivy remained motionless. In her mind, she recalled the first time she met Aurum. He had intervened and saved her from the skateboarders.Back then, Aurum was like a knight on a white horse, an image that Ivy remembered for a long time and was the beginning of her infatuation.But now, Ivy felt a chill run down her spine. Perhaps that encounter was also orchestrated by Aurum."Ivy, we are friends. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just ask. Of course, with your support from the Wood family, Mr. Wood has the power and influence to help you with anything. My assistance may not be necessary," Aurum said."How could it be unnecessary? I'm already touched by your kindness," Ivy replied.She gla

She pretended not to notice it."The facts are there. Our clothes were off, and we hugged each other. This is undeniable evidence," Aurum said.After a pause, Aurum added, "Shawn also saw it!"His tone was somewhat heavy and somewhat aggressive. After saying it, he realized he had been a bit too harsh."I spoke out of turn. I shouldn't have asked. I'm sorry," Ivy said."It's okay," Aurum replied, feeling a bit annoyed and not in a good mood. However, he did not want to show it in front of Ivy, so he continued to restrain himself.What did Ivy mean by suddenly asking this? Did she want to prove that she had not heard his conversation with Paul in the bathroom or was she deliberately testing him?Aurum currently had no way of knowing whether Ivy was aware of what had happened or not. He did not know how to deal with her for now.Aurum was sure of one thing. Ivy liked him, and she had feelings for him. He was trying to play that card. He had deliberately shown her warmth, creating

Aurum furrowed his brows as he looked at her, his gaze darkening slightly. "You are in such a hurry to leave?""I'm very tired. I had a shoot earlier. I just want to go home and rest," Ivy replied, her fatigue evident on her face, with no attempt to conceal it.She truly needed to get home as quickly as possible. Every second spent here was torture."I was actually thinking of having dinner together tonight, but since you want to go home, let me drive you," Aurum said."It's not necessary to trouble you...""It's no trouble. Let's go," Aurum said as he picked up his car keys and grabbed her bag.Then, he looked at Paul and the others. "You can all go now."Only then did they snap out of their daze and quickly bid farewell to them. Aurum was ushering them out. He wanted to spend time alone with Ivy."Ivy really knows how to get around. Aurum has fallen for her charm and is at her mercy," one of the assistant directors remarked.Another assistant director commented, "I thought s

She turned her bag inside out, and at last, she found it. It was a miniature listening device.It was as small as a fingernail. Given the clutter of her bag, she would not have noticed it being placed inside. Ivy held her breath and carefully picked up the listening device, cradling it in her palm. Perhaps, at this very moment, Aurum was listening in.Once she talked to Shawn and disclosed what she had heard today, her days would be numbered. Since she knew so much, she would suffer a terrible fate.She wondered what she should do. She considered throwing it away, but if Aurum could not eavesdrop, he would know she had found out.After pondering for a while, Ivy put the device back in her bag, then threw the bag into the closet in the cloakroom and locked herself in the bathroom of her guest room.That should be a reasonable distance from the device.Ivy picked up her phone and dialed Shawn's number.Meanwhile, in Temperley Hall, Shawn was attending an online international confe

"I overheard their conversation. Aurum isn't sure if I heard everything," Ivy recounted the events of the afternoon, trying to be as clear as she could.She also disclosed the bug. "What should I do, Mr. Wood?" Ivy expressed her helplessness. "I can't just toss away the bug, but I also don't want to carry it around constantly. However, if I stop using that bag altogether, Aurum will become suspicious.""Mr. Wood, I swear, everything I heard was with my own ears. I did not make up any of it. Aurum must be assessing me now. If he deems me a threat, he'll strike!" Ivy's voice quivered as she spoke, nearing tears.She was a lone woman facing a multitude of challenges, shouldering an immense mental and emotional burden. She had nowhere to rely on or confide in. Ivy was originally sailing smoothly through her acting career when she suddenly received an invitation to endorse Lovito. She thought her career was taking a turn for the better. In reality, she got what she wanted, but her life

She truly had not even thought of recording.Ivy shook her head. "No. I don't have anything, I just heard with my own ears..."Another dead end.After a moment of silence, Shawn said, "What else did you hear about Aurum and Gale? Did Aurum really do something to Galey?""I've told you everything I heard because Paul asked him, even asked if he had actually slept with Gale, but Aurum didn't admit he did.""From what you heard at that time, do you think Aurum really harmed her?"Ivy tried hard to recall. She racked her mind and raced through the conversation between Aurum and Paul, thinking about their tones in the conversation."From what I heard, Paul and I arrived at the hotel first, and Aurum and Gale came later. Aurum seemed very regretful. When Paul asked if he had achieved his goal, he got angry."A person who successfully executes a plan, who completely achieved their goal, should feel proud and pleased when asked by their subordinate. Logically, if they had controlled th
