The call had barely ended when the online comments took a dramatic turn.
A video of Crysti training with the stunt coordinator for two consecutive days on set was released.
There was footage of Danielle arriving late on the first day, suggesting postponing the shoot because she hadn't had time for makeup.
A video of Danielle's assistant notifying the director on the next day that Danielle had caught a chill from the late-night shoot and was heading to the hospital.
And a photo of Danielle's hospital record showing her illness.
[Why is it when Danielle gets sick, it's understandable, but when someone else does, it's diva behavior?]d2
[Shooting all night and not being in top form the next day is understandable, but lots of people shoot at night and they don't all fall ill, do they?]
[A cough and a cold that aren't serious enough for the doctor to recommend an IV or hospitalization, and she insists on it? Who is she trying to impress with her post-incident guilt and apologies? Who doesn't know she's been clinging to the capitalists' coattails, playing the diva and standing people up for years?]
[Look at her assistant's face while asking for a day off from the director.]
[Crysti being a diva? Clearly, this is Danielle's team intentionally smearing her, right?]
[How come the same 'little rich girl' can train for two days on difficult fight scenes in the mountains without issue, but she collapses after one night of shooting? So delicate, what kind of actress is she?]
[Danielle fans, don't say Crysti has delayed the shoot, okay? Your darling Danielle hasn't delayed anything really, throwing diva fits for three days straight. Now she's acting without even learning the fight choreography? Not even the world's greatest actors would dare.]
[And Crysti being a diva? Leaving Danielle hanging? Putting these two topics together is just hilarious, isn't it?]
Danielle's fans were ashamed and embarrassed, and many unfollowed her in droves. Naturally, marketing accounts wouldn't miss such a trending topic, and shares and discussion about the topic skyrocketed.
Another topic quickly climbed the trending searches—
Danielle, what a phony.
Danielle's face went through shades of anger and embarrassment. This was the first time in three years she had experienced such widespread mockery online.
Staring once more at the top trending topic "Crysti's Diva Behavior," she clenched her phone tightly. "Who did this?"
Her assistant shook with fear, "I don't know. Maybe someone who doesn't like Crysti, or maybe she's blocked someone's path."
But Danielle couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Who would dare to cross a Watson family heiress?
This stunt caused Danielle to lose a few magazine deals and a luxury brand endorsement. They all switched to Crysti, along with other brand endorsements.
Cicely, swamped with calls, passed them off to Chloe.
Chloe happily took them on. She then sent a message to Seth. [Just stirred up a little trouble for your sweetheart.]
Upon receiving Chloe's message, Seth called Charlie.
Charlie reported, "Ms. Danielle has been feeling unwell and delayed the shooting schedule."
Crysti's positive public image was shining; her popularity was on the rise, with endorsements, magazine features, and various bookings slowly climbing. Cicely now understood why Chloe worked with such vigor—tormenting others while reaping countless benefits. Chloe truly knew how to enjoy life.
Danielle gnashed her teeth in anger at the sight of Cicely's carefree demeanor. The last thing she wanted was for Cicely to witness her downfall.
The fight scene wasn't going smoothly, and Danielle, having to spar with the well-practiced Crysti, was clearly struggling. She suffered a few bumps and bruises along the way, which would usually make the director call cut, but today he seemed to be challenging her, ignoring her injuries and repeatedly throwing the script down in frustration.
Humiliated, Danielle held back tears.
After Danielle failed to roll over to avoid Crysti's sword, her knee hit the ground again, and the director yelled "cut", the assistant came up and lifted the hem of Danielle's skirt, and when the assistant saw the knee that had already oozed blood, her face turned pale with fear.
Unable to contain her anger, the assistant shouted, "The actress is injured like this, and you still want to continue? Have you forgotten how much Mr. Diaz cares about Danielle's well-being? Even a scratch in the past would have had Danielle rushed to the hospital for a thorough check-up to ensure there was no serious harm. And now, with her in this state, aren't you afraid he'll come back for retribution?!"
Danielle bit her lip, gripping her assistant's hand tightly, "Stop, it's my job. This little scratch is nothing."
The director, although irked by the assistant's retort, was still somewhat wary of the name Seth that had been dropped. Also, he couldn't push the actors too hard, especially when they were injured.
"Alright, take a break for now. Get that wound treated before we continue."
"How are we supposed to continue? The next scene is the cliff diving sequence. Do you really think it's a good idea to jump into the water right after patching up a wound?" The assistant was losing her patience. "If you're in such a rush to keep on schedule, maybe you should find a stunt double yourself. And if Danielle's injury gets infected, I doubt any of us can bear the consequences."
The director's anger flared, and he slammed down the script. "She was the one who swore she didn't want a stunt double in the first place. And now you're telling me to find a double at the last minute?"
Just then, another one of Danielle's assistants came running over, barely able to contain her excitement. "Danielle, Mr. Diaz is back!"

J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
