The set
However, the reason why Leopold delayed the shooting was due to Salma’s visit.
She bought a lot of high-end snacks and sent them to the set. Everyone went to enjoy the food, and naturally, Leopold was there too. Salma kept clinging to him, holding his arm very actively.
Usually, Salma carried an air of arrogance and superiority.
Yet, in front of Leopold, she appeared meek and docile like a little lamb.
After everyone finished the snacks, they quickly returned to their positions, preparing to start shooting.
When Salma saw Zola, she was a little surprised. “Zola, when did you arrive? I didn’t see you earlier. I bought some snacks. Would you like some?”
She seemed very enthusiastic.
However, before Zola could say anything.
Zola chuckled and walked past Salma.
Salma regretfully said, “I almost forgot, they’re all gone. I’ll buy more next time.”
At that moment, Leopold had already taken his place in front of the monitoring
screen and was preparing for the shoot.
Zola walked directly to Leopold.
ק!
Leopold glanced at her but said nothing, directing the shoot.
On the monitor screen, Zola saw her body double. Only the body double’s smooth back was visible on the screen. Her back was alluring and gorgeous, but not to a divine extent. Zola wasn’t good at self-assessment, but she had at least seen Kylie’s bare back before. Compared to Kylie’s back, the body double’s back was quite far off.
Leopold’s taste was truly… peculiar.
Zola found it ironic.
After a while, the bed scene finished, and Zola moved to shoot her frontal scenes.
When she approached the body double, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
The stand-in looked at her and smiled politely. “Hi, Zola.”
This person had at least a sixty to seventy perc
percent resemblance to Zola.
Just by looking at the body double’s physique, Zola couldn’t help but be sarcastic toward Leopold. However, when she saw the body double face-to-face, she was reluctant to admit it but still found herself somewhat impressed.
She pondered that if it wasn’t for the extreme close-up, it would have been hard to tell the difference between the two of them.
“Thank you for your hard work,” Zola replied calmly.
In the entertainment industry, having body doubles resembling the original actors was common, but this was the first time Zola encountered a stand-in who looked so much like her.

“It’s not hard at all, the body double quickly replied and left at the prompting of the crew.
Zola completed a few simple close-up shots before departing.
She returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup.
The phone rang, and she glanced at it, a smile playing on her lips as she answered, “My dear mother, have you suddenly called to check on your beloved princess?”
“Don’t sweet-talk your mother! Tell me, did you contradict your grandfather yesterday?” A stern voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Are you really going to scold me for such a trivial matter? He’s sich a big shot, yet he bullied me, a young lady. I just stood up for what’s right!” Zola protested.
“Standing up for what’s right? Don’t you know who holds the reins in the family? Georgina asked, “Do you want to leave the entertainment industry and come back to jake over the family business?”
Zola replied, “Mom, don’t scare me. I was just threatened by Grandpa
“You’re scared now?” Georgina said in a displeased tone.”
Georgina had always doted on Zola. After all, Zola was her only beloved daughter, and she always tried to fulfill her daughter’s wishes,
Zola’s successful years in the entertainment industry owed much to her mother’s support.
“Could you speak up for me? I really love acting. I don’t want to come back so soon… Zola quickly softened her tone and began to plead.
“I’m reminding you to be mindful. Your grandfather is occupied with your brother’s affairs at the moment. He doesn’t have time to deal with you,” Georgina said firmly.
Zola breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
However, her relief turned into nervousness the next moment. “What does Grandpa want to do to my brother again? He clearly doesn’t agree to this marriage!”
“I’m calling you today to warn you specifically. Don’t meddle in your brother’s and Stella’s wedding plans! I know you’re close to Kylie, and I don’t object to your friendships, but some things are not your concern, and you have no right to interfere in either!’ Georgina asserted.
“Mom…”
“Tonight, your grandfather wants you to come home for dinner Georgina didn’t give Zola a chance to refuse.
“Why?”
Zola’s grandfather wasn’t too fond of socializing in recent years,
Unless necessary, he not only avoided business engagements but also rarely attended family dinners, maybe once or twice a year. And those were only for major holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
This wasn’t any
dose occasions. Why did her grandfather suddenly ask her to come back for dinner?
Georgina said, “Stella’s grandfather is coming to discuss the engagement between your brother and Stella.”
Zola replied, “What does their discussion have to do with me?”

“When I ask you to come back, just come back. Stop with the questions!” Georgina said harshly.
Zola immediately backed down. “Okay.”
She didn’t dare refuse.
If she offended her mother, who would help her stay in the entertainment industry?
“By the way, will my brother attend?” Zola suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked.
“What do you think?”
Even over the phone, Zola could sense her mother’s expression of disbelief as if her mother had heard a stupid question.
Zola said, “I mean, I haven’t been able to reach my brother since last night. Grandpa has confined him, hasn’t he? What if Grandpa is afraid may brother will cause trouble…”
Georgina reassured firmly. “Don’t worry. Your grandfather never does anything without being certain.”
Zola wanted to say something more.
ee if you can st
still act
Georgina said sternly, “Be back on time. If you’re late, I’ll break your legs, and we’ll see if you
Zola did not say another word.
Then, Zola hung up the phone.
She quickly messaged Kylie on WhatsApp, saying, (Kylie, I won’t be coming back for dinner tonight. Don’t wait for me.]
[Okay.] Kylie immediately replied from the other end.
Coincidentally, she was working overtime.
Zola sent another message, saying. I’ll be going to the Hayden family for dinner tonight. I should be able to see my brother there. He must be confined by Grandpa, that’s why I couldn’t reach him. Once I meet him, I’ll send a message to you.]
Kylie did not reply.
Zola pursed her lips.
No matter what, she needed to figure out her brother’s true feelings tonight
After removing her makeup, Zola didn’t waste a moment. She could not wait to go back and see her brother as soon as possible.
Just as she opened the door of the dressing room, she suddenly saw Salma
The two of them locked eyes.
Zola was about to leave.
Zola, you must believe Leopold and I are truly in love.” Salma bragged openly. “Even with all the negative press surrounding me, he still treats me the same way.”
“So what are you trying to say?” Zola looked at Salma, dripping with sarcasm. perfect match? You’re bad, and he’s not any better, quite the pair
“Are

“Zola, stop being bitter here, and don’t pretend. Do you also want Leopold? Did you use your connections to get this role

away from me and ger close to him?” Salma asserted.
Zola retorted, “Do you think everyone’s as blind as you? Do you think everyone is shameless enough to use connections like you?
“I don’t want to waste my time with you!” Salma was furious. “Zo. I’m warning you. Stay away from Leopold. For a woman like you, without power or hackground, making you disappear from the entertainment industry would be a piece of cake. Also, Leopold is bringing me to the Hayden family to meet his family. We’re ready to get married anytime!”
