Chapter 159 The Best Actress from Qurgh
“Ms. Dickinson?”
Vera scrutinized the young, fashionable woman behind her.
Only then did she realize that it was Ivy Dickinson, the most popular A–list star in Qurgh.
Ivy was the reigning queen of Qurgh’s film industry, and she had come to Harmonfield.
Moreover, she was right in front of her.
Vera, despite her surprise, was not a star–struck fan.
Celebrities like Ivy, with their arrogant and demanding behavior, didn’t deserve her attention.
464%
She expected this rare moment to be a joyful, private time for her and Robin. She wouldn’t allow anyone to interrupt it.
What did it matter to her that the current hotshot actress was nearby?
She was just another commodity in the world of entertainment.
You acted, and I watched–it all revolved around a service that the viewer paid for.
Fans were the gods and patrons of these celebrities.
How dare Ivy treat the very people who support her so rudely?
Irritated, Vera replied, “No way! I won’t switch no matter how much you offer.”
The woman speaking was Tina Nelson, Ivy’s assistant.
With Ivy’s immense fame, Tina had anticipated that countless fans in Aurientia would be ready to cry at the mere mention of her name,
She assumed that swapping a cafe’s private room was a trivial request,
After all, if given the chance, those fans would probably flatter her in devotion.
Yet here was Vera, flatly refusing their request.
But Vera’s refusal enraged Tina.
Since Ivy’s debut, numerous influential figures in Qurgh have been her admirers.
Last year, Leonardo Dicker, the heir to the Dickers from Southeast Aurientia had returned to Qurgh.
Rather than join his family business, Leonardo became the vice president of the Aurientia Regional Company for-the Aldridges.
During that time, he established his own entertainment company, Luminous Studio.

Ivy’s charm and talent captivated him, and he made a significant investment to sign her.

Less than a year after signing with Luminous Studio, Ivy became the queen of Qurgh’s film industry.
She had come to Harmonfield to shoot the scenes for a new film.
Yet here was Vera, who knew her identity but refused to give her any respect.
Tina was on the verge of exploding with anger but managed to suppress it, knowing they were public figures.
“This private room costs 10,000 an hour. I’ll give you 50.000 per hour. Surely, you can swap for that?
“Fifty thousand an hour should be a substantial sum for you,” she added.
“If you take it for 24 hours, I’ll pay you a million upfront!”
Vera was about to refuse again when Robin interjected. We can swap. Didn’t you just say you’d pay any
amount?”
“Of course!” Tina replied, a sneer forming on her lips. She looked down on the two, believing that money could easily sway them.
Money could smooth over any situation.
To her, these penniless people would fold as long as the price was right.
Suddenly, the mocking smile vanished from her face. She declared contemptfully, “Tell me how much you need. I’ll transfer it to you directly, and then you leave immediately.
“Are you serious? Any amount?” Robin asked, his tone earnest.
“Haha!” Tina scoffed, “Of course, I’m serious!
“To you lowly people, money is more important than life. But to Ms. Dickinson, it’s just a number,” she added disdainfully.
“One million–Ms. Dickinson only needs to show her face on the screen for a second!
“Don’t waste our time. Just say how much you need! Take the money and leave!”
Vera was visibly frustrated and snapped, “Robin, I won’t swap for any amount! I waited over a month for this reservation!”
While chewing on cake, Robin replied with a smirk, “If they’re offering more money, why wouldn’t we swap?
“You! You’re driving me crazy!” Vera shot him a glare, unable to comprehend why Robin would bend for
money.
Tina laughed derisively and asked, “Have you two agreed on a sum? Speak up quickly: Ms. Dickinson is getting impatient.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Robin replied, “Alright then, let’s make it a gesture–ten billion! Once we receive

the money, you can have the room!”
“What? Are you insane? You want us to pay ten billion for a lousy room? Tina gaged in dish
Vera, finally catching on to Robin’s intent, grinned smugly.
She stood up and pointed accusingly at Tina. “Weren’t you the one who said any amount wa wrong? Is ten billion too much for you?
“If you can’t afford that, then scram! Don’t interrupt our tea time!”
Tina struggled to find the right words as her anger boiled over.
Ivy took off her sunglasses and glared at the duo, her eyes seething with irritation.
She was Ivy, the reigning queen of Qurgh’s film industry!
I’d pay any
Ivy was accustomed to being treated like royalty wherever she went.
Yet, here were these two, utterly clueless about their audacity to mock her.

“Ms. Nelson, I want this room. Tell them to get lost!” Ivy huffed.
Tina nodded and said, “Ms. Dickinson, just a moment.
She let out a deep breath, trying to control her rising anger as she turned back to Robin and
“I hope you know when to stop!
“Ms. Dickinson is in a good mood today and doesn’t want to argue with you. I’ll give you a r should leave immediately! Otherwise…”
Robin sneered, “You can’t even afford this much and you’re acting tough? Get lost
Two towering bodyguards moved forward, ready to forcibly removed them.
Tina stopped them, not wanting to escalate the situation further.
They were in Harmonfield for filming and planning to hold a fan meeting at a television sta before leaving.
Tina glanced back at Robin and Vera, asking. “You really won’t let us?”
Vera replied disdainfully, “You can’t pay ten billion, so why should we give in?
“You’ve interrupted our tea time; I didn’t demand for compensation. Now, hurry up and lea annoying!”
“Fine, since you won’t let us, don’t blame us for being rude!” Tina stepped forward and spat on their table.

Before she could finish, Robin’s reaction left her dumbfounded.

After Tina’s spat, Robin unexpectedly joined in, hocking up two large loogies onto the pastries.
Robin’s strange behavior shocked Tina.
Has he lost his mindi
She had planned to provoke them with her actions, not anticipating that Robin would outdo her with the absurdity!
“Robin… you … what are you doing?” Vera asked, confused as she stared at him.
Ignoring her, Robin continued his outrageous antics.
He picked up a napkin from the table, wiped his shoes with it several times, and then tossed it right onto the pastries.
Vera was flabbergasted. “Robin, what are you doing?”
Tina laughed mockingly. “Haha! Are you out of your mind?”
Robin turned to Vera and asked, “Did you wear stockings?”
“Uh?” Vera’s cheeks flushed. Can’t he see for himself?
“No, I’m not wearing any. Why?
Robin nodded, muttering to himself, “Guess I’ll do it myself.”
He kicked off his shoes and tossed two pairs of socks onto the pastries.
The room fell into a stunned silence.
Ivy covered her nose, wide–eyed in shock..
“You… you…“Tina couldn’t comprehend this bizarre scene.
“Huh?” Vera stood up, astonished and confused.
