FULL NOVELXO Chapter Jilted Bride 68
Chapter 68
Emily stormed into the director's office and walked straight up 15 Ophelia. In front of Williarn, she tried to keep her cool, but her voice couldn't hide her anger. "Ophelia, come with me. We need to talk." "What is there for us to talk about?" Ophelia colilly looked at her
Ophelia's indifferent demeanor made it seem as if she did not recognize Emily, treating her like a clown putting on a one-man show.
Emily particularly hated the look in Ophelia's eyes, her face twisting in anger. "Do you want me to say it publicly? You are a member of the Hastings family. Do you want to embarrass our juirents?"
More than a dozen staff and actors were present. They were already curious about the new investors, and now they paused their work, their eyes revealing a sense of gossip.
"So they are sisters?" someone whispered.
They aren't biological sisters." another person countered. "Didn you see the gossip online before? Emily is the adopted daughter that the Hastings couple mistook for their own. Ophelia is probably their biological daughter. So now that the real heiress has returned, the status of the adopted daughter has drastically diminished."
At first, they envied Emily for being the female lead as soon as she joined the cast. But now she was suddenly replaced overnight. The staff thought it was because Ophelia was suppressing Emily at every turn, so Emily was truly pathetic.
Ophelia remained unfazed, leaning back in her chair with her elbow resting on the armrest. "Go on. I'm listening"
'Will still be this calm in a moment, Emily thought, pulling out a photo of an old man from her phone and holding it up in front of Ophelia.
Emily asked, "Ophelia, you should recognize this man in the photo, right? You are already married, and everything you have now is honored by this man. Yet you take advantage of the fact that no one knows you are married, and you keep a call boy. What you're doing is despicable!" Ophelia thought, 'A call boy? This must be the first time Kenneth has been treated as one in his life.
Emily believed Ophelia was just putting on a brave front, swiping her phone screen to find a photo of Ophelia with a young man from behind. She thought, "With this photo as evidence, how can she argue her way out of this?"
Several actors gathered around to look at the photo, gasping in astonishment.
Someone said seriously, "Oh my! So, there really is an old man living at Rosewood Manor. I heard he's both old and perverted.
Someone else lamented. "Things obtained through men will never last long."
Another expressed concern. "Mr. Martin, our production won't be stopped midway due to funding issues, will it? After all, if the truth comes out, all our investments could be reclaimed."
William frowned, glancing briefly at the photo on Emily's phone, thinking, 'Is this shadow the man? How could a man with such presence possibly be a call boy? What a joke! Although I don't know the whole story, so I cannot judge, I can't just believe the nonsense like these fools' Seeing that William's expression had changed, a flicker of triumph crossed Emily's eyes as she thought, 'Once the scandal about the founder of La Reverie gets out, that old man won't just sit back and watch. Everything Ophelia has now will disappear "Didn't you try it before?" Ophelia suddenly asked.

Chapter 68
Ophelia's unexpected question caught Emily off guard. "What?"
"Didn't you print out the photo and send it to Rosewood Manor Ophelia thought, "That photo turned out well. Kenneth liked it very much.
Before Emily could respond, Ophelia stood up from her chair, faint smile on her face but frost in her eyes. "They found me so I could marry in your place and get that thirty-million-dollar reward. Since the Hastings family is not ashamed to use such a method to gain benefits, why should I be afraid? You can put this online. Let's see who truly ends up embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, many people suddenly focused on the main point. Someone asked, "Isn't she the true heiress of the Hastings family? How could her parents allow their biological daughter to marry such a man?"
The grudges between wealthy families are complicated. They'll do anything for money. They didn't raise Ophelia from childhood, so they don't care," someone said sympathetically.
"How could Emily dare to say that? I thought she was pitiful earlier, but now...she's clearly taking advantage of the situation while criticizing Ophelia for failing to adhere to moral standard herself. It's truly disgusting"
The smugness on Emily's face vanished in an instant, and she thought, 'How did I unintentionally let Ophelia lead the topic? I only meant to threaten her with the photo. I never intended to bring this matter up in front of so many people."
Emily quickly pulled back her phone. "No, it's not like that. Are you all dumbasses? She is the one who cheated with a call boy. She is morally corrupt. Why are you criticizing me without knowing the full story?" Anger surged through Emily, and she let slip some insulting words that offended everyone present
People began to attack Emily. "You're the dumb one! If we believe your nonsense, we should truly be foolish."
"You scheming woman, hurry up and get lost. Don't waste our time."
"What we said has nothing to do with you. Just take care of your own business. Have you resolved the dirt on you online?"
At that moment, Emily was treated like a hated enemy, everyone wanting her gone. She could only feel her cheeks burning! wanting to leave this place quickly. But her legs felt weak, and she stumbled, ending up kneeling right in front of Ophelia.
"I didn't ask you to kneel and apologize. There's no need for that Ophelia replied in a calm tone.
"Hahaha..." Laughter erupted around them. Filled with anger and humiliation, Emily clenched her fists, getting up from the ground and preparing to attack Ophelia. But before she could reach her, two security guards suddenly appeared and grabbed her arms. "Who are you? Let go of me! Ophelia!" Emily struggled desperately, feeling like her arms were about to be crushed by the two massive men, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Meanwhile, Ophelia remained composed and at ease, looking at her as if she were an
ant.
Frustrated and furious, Emily thought, 'Ophelia, how dare you look at me like that!" Suddenly, she noticed a necklace. peeking out from Ophelia's neckline. It felt like lightning struck her, and all her senses seemed to vanish.
Emily thought, "That's Moon & Star! Kenneth spent 50 million dollars at the charity auction to buy it. How could it possibly be around this bitch's neck? No way! Ophelia could never climb up to a person like Kenneth in her entire life. I must be mistaken! It must be! Otherwise, the necklace she's wearing is definitely fake. Yes, that must be it!
Just as Emily was lost in her thoughts, Ophelia spoke coldly. Throw her out."
"Yes, ma'am. The two security guards immediately dragged Emily out of the filming location.
"Let go of me, let go of me... Emily's cries of struggle faded as she was taken away, and the set returned to tranquility.
Everyone looked at Ophelia again, their gazes filled with a different kind of emotion.

When Emily awkwardly returned to the company, she completely broke down. The office building of Sungate
Entertainment had been vandalized with red paint on the walls, covered in insults like "Emily get out of the entertainment industry" and "Emily go to hell".
Nathan had already gone to the police station to file a report. With all this happening, Emily could no longer stay at the company. She hurried to the underground par
