Chapter 426 Henry’s Getting Lucky
Zora had agreed to help Orion create an opportunity where Henry wouldn’t disturb him. Sacrificing a little charm in exchange for the support of the Dros Group was quite a bargain.
Michael stiffened slightly, then he smiled and tried to smooth over the situation.
“We should have an atmosphere like family. Go on, continue…”
Everyone exchanged glances. Then, as if nothing had happened, each began to focus on their own tasks.
Zora occasionally casts her gaze on Henry, giving him a flirtatious look.
Henry, in return, would lift his eyes to her now and then and steal a glance at Zora. His features were strikingly similar to Orion’s, yet he was struggling to hide a gleefully childish smirk that felt out of place.
Standing together, they formed a striking pair: a mature and alluring actress beside a naive and handsome young star
It was an odd match from start to finish.
Seraphina found herself glancing between Henry and Orion from time to time.
Suddenly, she realized they no longer bore any resemblance at all, with their features distinctly different.
Henry’s willingness to flirt with Zora, openly exchanging playful banter in front of everyone, seemed unbothered by the audience around him. His public display of affection came off as downright frivolous.
In terms of poise, Henry had utterly lost the contest.
Seraphina felt a pang of disappointment..
Sigh! It seemed that Henry’s attempt to imitate Orion for popularity wouldn’t work; he needed to find another approach.
As she sighed softly, Orion sat quietly beside her, his expression darkening. Was she really upset to see Henry with someone else?
Haha! He was feeling quite the opposite!
Orion’s eyes shot a harsh glance at Henry’s imitation; there was a glint of cold resolve in his gaze. It appeared Henry would have to go.
Suddenly, a loud ruckus erupted from outside.
“Where are you, dear?”
“Stop right there! You can’t go in!” Someone shouted in protest.
“Get out of my way!”
Lucius barged into the room, looking frantic. When he saw the familiar faces inside, he let out a relieved

Chapter 46 tents Getting Lo ky
“Darling, why are you doing this? Are you planning to become an actress now?”
Michael recognized Lucius, waving a hand to signal the people who had followed him to leave. They had to pause the filming.
Lila, upon seeing Lucius enter, was momentarily stunned, then looked down coldly.
“Please leave.”
Lucius’s expression faltered, yet he forced a smile. “Filming is exhausting. Let’s go home, alright? I can give you whatever you want. At home, you can call the shots isn’t that fair?”
He didn’t care about the eyes on him or his own pride.
For someone like Lucius, who had been publicly dumped at his own wedding, it was astonishing that he still hadn’t given up hope. It was downright shocking.
Lila felt no sympathy; instead, she found it amusing. “Brown, we have no relationship anymore. That’s your home, not mine.”
The temperature in the room dropped.
Lucius paused for a few seconds, his tone turning pleading.
“I just want to talk to you alone for a moment, alright? Just one minute.”
Lila was reluctant to give him that chance. Orion, who had been silent until then, suddenly stood up and spoke.
“Everyone, let’s take a break. We’ve been working too hard; let’s continue this afternoon.
Instantly, everyone began to pack up, sensing the need to wrap things up.
Michael stood in silence, thinking to himself.
So, am I invisible?
Lucius shot Orion a grateful glance, his good buddy–truly a friend for life!
Seraphina rolled her eyes at him, fully aware that he was trying to create a private moment for Lucius and Lila, cleverly disguising it as concern for work.
However, Seraphina remained polite and tilted her head to ask, “Lila, do you need any help?”
Lucius’s expression hardened.
Lila stunned briefly and gave a faint smile. “No, I’ll handle it. I’ll head back to the hotel after I finish.”
