It was a dreamless night.
The next day, Lucy realized that she had woken up with her face drenched in tears.
Lucy could not understand why she had suddenly ended up this way.
She only knew that she was tremendously exhausted. So tired that her body and soul was completely weary.
But she was left with no choice.
All she could do was to look as glamorous and fresh as possible when presenting herself to the others. She needed to try her best to give off an image of a goddess.
After putting on her makeup, the worn-out woman whom she saw in the mirror earlier transformed into a charming and captivating beauty.
Lucy gave herself a mock laugh. She was not sure whether to lament the magic of cosmetics or mourn her earlier haggard look.
After Lucy had put on her clothes, she went downstairs and boarded the company van to head to the production company.
Susan noticed that Lucy was distantly glum throughout the journey. She could feel Lucy’s throbbing pain in her heart.
She had heard about the hard time that Levi had given Lucy the previous night.
She knew that it was her fault for mixing up the time for the opening banquet.
However, Susan could not make heads or tails about the situation.
This was the time for the opening banquet that Levi’s assistant had conveyed to her. How could she possibly get it wrong?
No one could answer her.
Susan had asked around for clarification since last night.
All those who knew the truth displayed a secretive look on their face, showing that they were helpless about it.
No matter how hard Susan tried to inquire about the matter, nobody could give her a definitive answer.
Susan was left in frustration and started to ponder on this mystery.
Who on earth did Lucy offend?
‘That’s right. Lucy must have upset someone. Someone whose words could easily influence someone like Levi Fernandez.’
Susan could not figure out who this person was.
Lucy usually received good reviews and never involved herself in conflicts. She had always been kind to others.
The only explanation now was that Lucy’s enemy was a fellow actress of the same tier. If this was really the case, that would be quite unfortunate.
Who could Lucy have possibly offended under these circumstances? That would spark for something as oppressive as this to occur?
It was incomprehensible for Susan.
The only person Lucy did not have a good reputation with was Jada Swanson.
But Jada Swanson…
Just the thought of that arrogant and domineering woman made Susan snigger to herself.
Why would she even consider Jada Swanson?
‘That’s right! Jada!’
Susan wanted to regretfully slap herself on her face!
How could she have forgotten that annoying stubble, Jada Swanson?
Levi was Jada’s uncle. That would explain everything if her intention was to get rid of Lucy.
It all made sense. Only Jada would have the time to scheme such a plot against Lucy.
Susan quickly patted on Lucy’s shoulder. The woman was blankly looking out the window while in a daze.
“Lucy, I know why I got the time wrong yesterday!”
“Why is that?” Lucy furrowed her brows.
Susan stared sternly at Lucy and mentioned a name. “Jada Swanson.”
Lucy paused in her tracks.
“Jada Swanson…” Lucy Katz gradually sunk deep into her thoughts.
