The Moment I Realized I Can't Lose You novel Chapter 57

Leona's words made Rainey's face instantly drain of color.

Leona was a new hire, brought on just a few days ago when Rainey decided to break into acting. She had absolutely no idea about the complicated history between Rainey, Audrey, and Joaquin—and certainly no clue that Audrey was, in fact, the real wife.

Rainey bit her lip and looked up at Joaquin, her eyes brimming with calculated panic. "Joaquin, I've just started my acting career..."

Her implication was crystal clear.

Joaquin frowned deeply, his eyes turning to ice as he glared at Audrey. "Audrey, enough with this nonsense!"

There were dozens of cameras pointed right at them. If Audrey successfully branded Rainey a homewrecker today, it wouldn't just ruin her acting career—she would become a laughingstock among their elite social circles.

The stern warning in his voice, his instinctive need to protect Rainey... it sent a bitter pang through Audrey's chest.

He had never protected her like that. Not here, and not even at private family dinners where she was openly humiliated. He had never so much as flinched when she was wronged.

Yet the second Rainey's reputation was mildly threatened, he stepped in like a knight in shining armor.

Swallowing the sour taste in her mouth, Audrey offered him a cool, unbothered smile. "I'm not talking nonsense. Did Ms. Sinclair not read the script?"

She turned her sparkling eyes back to Rainey. "The character you're playing, Vivienne Snow, is the male lead's unattainable first love. She knows the hero is married, yet she deliberately inserts herself into his life and gets uncomfortably close to him..."

She smirked. "Doesn't that make her a homewrecker?"
