Sonya lowered her gaze for a moment, well, she did have a little bit of curiosity.
Henry clearly treated Lyla as a substitute for Zoey in the past, so he kept her by his side, providing her with resources, and
and at the
at the same time, demanding that she imitate Zoey.
They claimed to be lovers, but it was more like a transaction between them, each taking what they needed.
But in the past few days, Henry's attitude towards Lyla had changed. He started to spoil her, indulge her, and protect her, as if in his eyes, Lyla had already become Zoey.
Just because Lyla imitated more accurately?
"You must want to know why, right?" Lyla said, and then she chuckled, "But I won't tell you. secret."
Sonya looked at Lyla indifferently,"Are you proud?"
It's a
"I'm indeed proud. You refused to help me before, and now you know how capable I am, don't you?"
"Don't you feel pathetic to be someone's substitute?"
"Pathetic?" Lyla scoffed."I've secured the resources I desired. My career has been booming. Those who once looked down on me now grovel at my feet. And most importantly, I'm rolling in money. I can purchase anything my heart desires. So, what's there to be pathetic about?" Lyla's purpose had always been clear.

"I want you to leave Henry."
"We have divorced."
"I want you to completely disappear from his sight."
"So
you think I can still pose a threat to you?"

Lyla pursed her lips for a moment, thought of something, and then chuckled, "Threat? Yes. For example, last night, when he was having sex with me, he actually shouted Sonya." Sonya felt a sudden wave of nausea upon hearing these words. She couldn't bear to think about that scene; she would really vomit.
"Truth be told, I wasn't bothered by the fact that he had feelings for you too. Even after we tied the knot, I could have endured you two carrying on in secret. You know how men are; it's in their and nature to stray. You wouldn't have been the only one, and at least you had some self-respect wouldn't have stooped to competing with me, the legal spouse."
She actually said the same words as Seraphina.
At this moment, Henry seemed to have become Julian. She felt Henry was as disgusted as "You can rest assured. I can guarantee to stay far away from him, and please keep him under control, so that he'll stay far away from me too." Julian.
Lyla's smile deepened, "It seems that we
have reached, an agreement, very
well."

After Lyla left, Sonya sat there for a long time until the crew called her to help mediate between Taylor and Riya, who were not cooperating with the filming at all. Sonya got up and walked up the mountain. She saw Henry walking towards her, and she frowned. Then she changed direction and went from the other side.
As they passed by an apple tree, Lyla and her partner, Vivian Proctor, had already finished shooting, and now the cameramen had left.
"Vivian, it appears you're afraid of heights. Why were your legs shaking the whole time?"
Lyla stood under a relatively tall apple tree, with a mocking expression, looking at Vivian on the
tree.
Sonya knew Vivian. Lately, the crime investigation drama in which Vivian had a starring role had gained significant popularity, and she had even won an award for her performance in it. Vivian tightly gripped the tree trunk, glaring at Lyla.
"If it weren't for your threatening, I wouldn't have participated in this program, let alone having any interaction with someone like you!"
"Of course, the real reason you didn't want to participate was that you were afraid of being overshadowed by me. You didn't want to end up in a situation where I could do as I pleased, and you'd be too intimidated to utter a word. But don't forget, there were occasions when you did the same to me."
"I have

"The drama you performed in recently became a hit, but that role used to be mine!"
"We went for the audition together, and the director chose me, not you. How did the role end up being yours?"
you
"It's all because of your tricks behind my back. Otherwise, given my acting prowess, how could have possibly beaten me? But if you managed to grab it, I can reclaim it as well. I've already had a private meeting with the director, and he's leaning towards casting me in the lead role for the second season."
Vivian frowned, "We have already signed the contract."
"So what? He would rather break the contract than offend me. After all, my boyfriend is the heir of the Reynolds family."
Vivian was left speechless. If Henry served as Lyla's backstage backer, it meant Lyla would be invincible. As a relatively unknown actress, she truly couldn't afford to offend them. Seeing Vivian's submissive look, Lyla laughed even more heartily.
"This program is an opportunity I gave you. If you're smart, you should try your best to please me. If I was in a good mood, perhaps I wouldn't have taken issue with you."
Sonya heaved a sigh, thinking that Lyla was the sort of person who, once granted some power, would seek revenge on the entire world.
When she came back to Taylor's side, Taylor and Riya were still engaged in an argument. They were arguing so fiercely that their faces flushed red, and they even exclaimed about going on strike.
She pacified one of them, but the other refused to cooperate.
The director team stood helplessly on the side, probably regretting having invited Taylor and Riya

After a long wait, the whole team finally got a chance to take a break when it was time for lunch.
Lunch was prepared by the crew, but the humble Leticia thought that everyone came to help her with the harvesting work and didn't want her to pay for them, so she thought she was obliged to prepare lunch for everyone. Therefore, she stewed a pot of potato stew. The potato stew was devoid of color, aroma, and flavor. Merely casting a cursory glance, both the actors and the staff courteously declined.
"Try it, it's delicious." Leticia eagerly offered it to anyone who came by, but no one took it. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Well, it's not dirty, I've washed it clean. There's meat in it; I specially bought a pound of beef."
Sonya waited until the crew members had all washed their hands before she went to wash her hands, so she came back a little late. When she saw this scene, she hurried over and accepted Leticia's offer.
"Leticia, don't worry, whoever wants a try will come and serve themselves. You have been busy all

"Then you can have as much as you want. There's still plenty."
"Okay."
Sonya helped Leticia sit down and took a bite under Leticia's expectant gaze. She quickly nodded and said, "Delicious, it's really delicious."
She liked light flavors, so it was indeed quite delicious for her.
Taylor and Riya had another argument, and they came back later. They saw Sonya eating the stew
and each served themselves some at Leticia's place, so they also

Leticia warmly offered them some bread, explaining that she usually baked it herself. She informed them that although the bread didn't look as appealing as the ones sold in bakeries, it tasted good.
Taylor and Riya took the bread, asking Leticia to sit down and eat with them. "I love the stew, as well as homemade bread," Taylor said as she ate heartily. "They are delicious. I want to have more," Riya also said.
Seeing them enjoying the food so much, Leticia finally smiled.
Upon hearing someone shouting from the other side, Sonya looked up and saw that it was Calvin's parents approaching, carrying a food box."Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed, suddenly realizing that she had forgotten about the promise to have dinner at the Suttons house the previous night.
Sonya hurried over and heard the assistant director asking them what their relationship was with her.
