Ryan clapped a hand over his head. “Seriously, Isla, can you leave me a little dignity? We’re not kids anymore. I’m a married man now, and you’re still smacking me around like I’m some errand boy. How am I supposed to keep any self–respect?”
“When people used to say your luck was outrageous, I never believed it,” Isla said, staring at him as if the urge to hit him again was growing stronger by the second. “Now? I absolutely believe it.”
She kept looking him over, still unable to digest the news.
‘If this ever gets out on Stellar Network, how many people do you think are going to go insane? You’d better be careful. One of these days someone’s going to jump you in an alley, throw a sack over your head, and beat you half to death.”
Ryan gave a dismissive snort. “Then what if I told you Ethan and I were both forced matched to her? Wouldn’t that make people
even crazier?”
That wiped the calm right off Isla’s face. “You and Ethan are both matched to her?”
Ryan lifted his brows, smug to the bone. “Obviously. Right before New Year’s Eve, both Ethan and I got forced matched with Ava. If you don’t believe me, call my mom.”
t took every bit of Isla’s restraint not to slap that unbearably smug face again.
nstead, she walked off to the corner and placed a video call to her aunt, Elena.
‘Isla? You’re back? When did you get in? Your father said not long ago that you were still away filming.”
sla tilted the camera–toward Ryan. “Two days ago. I barely had time to sit down at home before Ryan dragged me out to play >odyguard for the girl he’s obsessed with.”
Then, with exaggerated innocence, she added, “Aunt Elena, I had no idea Ryan secretly got himself a girlfriend. She’s just shooting
promo, and he still insisted I come in person. Looks like he’s completely gone over this junior of his…”
Elena’s expression changed immediately. “I’m hanging up.”
ryan was still texting someone when Elena’s call suddenly came through to him. He picked up with a puzzled look. “Mom, what is
1?”
Ryan, I see you’ve gotten bold now You dare fool around behind my back…”

A white later, Elena called back.
“Oh, Isla, there’s been a misunderstanding. Ryan, Ethan, and Ava were forcefully matched. It’s… complicated. Come by the house. in a couple of days, and I’ll explain properly. Let me tell you, if Ethan hadn’t handled things smartly, Ryan would’ve been sent back already…”
The moment his mother started/dragging out old humiliation, Ryan immediately exploded. “Mom! Your son is still standing right here!”
The instant Isla realized there was real gossip hidden underneath all this–and saw Ryan looking like an enraged cat whose fur had blown up–she quickly cut in, “Aunt Elena, I’ll come by in a couple of days. I should visit you and Uncle Dylan anyway. We’ll talk then.”
After the call ended, Isla said, “I’m going to check on Ava.”
When she entered, Ava was still having her hair adjusted.
Lydia said, “Ms. Spencer, almost done. Honestly, this girl’s base is so good she barely needs makeup. I’m starting to feel unnecessary.”
Isla smiled. “Lydia, that’s only because you’re skilled enough to bring out what’s already there. If we’d handed her to some average stylist, she’d probably end up looking polished but forgettable.”
Lydia Ward had worked with Isla for years, and the two of them were close off–set too. She laughed immediately. “Please, now you’re the one making me shy.”
A little later, Isla picked up one of the costumes hanging nearby and passed it over. Ava took it and went to change.
When she stepped back out, Isla looked her over from head to toe and smiled in satisfaction. “No wonder they say beauty can topple the world. Mr. Mett’s eye really is viciously sharp. I kept wondering why, with so many actresses in the industry, he specifically asked for you. Now I understand.”
Lydia, standing to one side, nodded in agreement. “It really is beautiful. I’m already curious what the finished footage will look like.”
Ava tried on several sets in a row, and every single one fit her perfectly.
