Isabella was startled and quickly pushed Alexander's shoulder, laughing awkwardly. "No need, no need. It's just a

minor sprain, nothing serious. It'll be fine soon. | have experience with this." Alexander frowned, just about to

scold Isabella for being too careless with her body.

Heavens! One lie requires a hundred more to cover it up.

Alexander froze and looked at Isabella, seeing her uneasy expression.

Alexander relented under Isabella's push. "Are you sure it's really nothing?"

Isabella forced a smile. "It's nothing.

| jumped on my own. How could anything be wrong?

Alexander thought for a moment and realized what Isabella had done. He looked at her, feeling both amused and

annoyed. However, he didn't expose her.

Then he remembered David's reply, and his mouth twitched involuntarily. "Why are you alone? Where's everyone

else?"

Isabella was also puzzled. David and Selena had suddenly called everyone to watch the show on the stage.

She thought at least Thalia would stay with her, the pretend victim, but Rosalie had found an excuse to pull her

away too. In the end, she was left alone enjoying the gossip. However, Isabella didn't mind.

She explained to Alexander, who then showed a subtle change in his expression. Seemingly helpless, he pulled

up a chair to sit next to her.

"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? Even if it's a little painful, we could apply some

ointment on it."

The stage was about a meter high. If one were to jump off, there was a very real risk of getting hurt if not

careful.

Isabella firmly refused. As she spoke, she heard his phone vibrating again.

"Are you very busy? Am | holding you back at work?" Isabella asked,

After Alexander's arm healed, he resumed his usual routine of working overtime. He specifically cfor this

mistake, which made Isabella feel guilty. Alexander responded indifferently, "It's fine," then took out his phone.

He had driven over in a rush and hadn't checked his phone.

When he answered, he wasn't surprised by the caller's intent. He had already received several similar calls at the

office.

Isabella seemed to hear the caller mention Christopher and performance, making her curious. Apparently,

Alexander glanced at Isabella and calmly responded, "My wife and my brother know exactly what they're doing. |

have no objections. If someone is hurt, they should reflect on themselves. What does that have to do with my

wife and brother? Yes, | support them all the way. The other person seemed infuriated and fell silent for a while.

Alexander politely said goodbye.

Looking up, he saw Isabella's eyes sparkling, making his heart skip a beat. His gaze softened. "Did you have fun

tonight?"

Isabella couldn't help but excitedly share the gossip. Alexander was always a good listener.

"Here, look at Rebecca's performance. Can you believe she only looked at the script for ten minutes? Check out

the comments on the live stream. It's so funny. | can imagine their jaws dropping."

Alexander smiled indulgently and leaned closer to watch the live stream performance. "She's a professional

actress. It looks like your agency is gaining a powerful new member."

"But Danielle is still a little worried..."

At this moment, Rebecca was playing a nervous, inexperienced company newcomer. Though she had an alluring

appearance and a sexy figure, her clear expressions, pure eyes, and slightly stiff movements perfectly conveyed

a sense of innocence. In an instant, even the men couldn't look at her with appreciation as it felt more like they

were looking at a junior or a schoolmate.

The fresh-out-of-university vibe was palpable.

This scene alone left the audience stunned, as if they didn't recognize Rebecca.

Most of them had seen Rebecca play enchanting, mesmerizing roles. No director gave her a chance to play

anything else. They didn't realize that Rebecca could effortlessly transform into a completely different person

when removed from her usual roles. Christopher and the other supporting actors had imagined various

emergency scenarios to save the performance. But from the start, Rebecca barely missed a line. Even if there

were differences, the meaning was always the same.

She performed flawlessly, as if she had been rehearsing with them all these days instead of Isabella.

Acting with her felt incredibly smooth for Christopher. True to her promise, he only needed to focus on his part.

In the first scene, she needed to discuss an important contract during a business trip and had to communicate it

clearly with her boss.

The audience saw Rebecca nervously and seriously talking to Christopher on the phone. She tried to get every

detail right, afraid of making any mistakes.

Christopher, sitting on a bed on stage, dressed in a flamboyant robe and holding a phone, said, "It's hard to

explain over the phone. Cto my room, and we can go over it thoroughly."

"Huh?" Rebecca's expression showed a clear moment of confusion, torn between knowing it was inappropriate

and the pressure of a superior's request.

"The sooner we finish, the less likely there will be mistakes tomorrow. Otherwise... His tone carried the

oppressive air of a superior.

Rebecca portrayed the newcomers innocence and foolishness, her hesitation and helpless behavior clear to all.

Finally, she took a risky move to go to his room.

Upon entering, she felt awkward seeing Christopher in his robe. She held the contract at a distance and wanted

to speak immediately. But Christopher waved her over, saying, "Bring it here so | can see."

Seeing the stern look on her superior's face, Rebecca walked over, only to be pulled onto the bed by Christopher.

"Sit down and look together!"

Rebecca jumped in fright and stood up immediately, but Christopher kept pulling her back. He acted as if she

was overthinking things and scolded her as if he felt insulted by her actions. However, in reality, he was the one

making physical advances. Rebecca managed to maintain her composure and left with her dignity intact.

However, unbeknownst to her, her entrance and exit from the room were witnessed by her colleagues.

Back at the office, a woman stérmed up to her and slapped her. "You shameless b*tch, using work as an excuse

to get into my husband's room and seduce him!

Rebecca was stunned, surrounded by whispering onlookers.

She could only cover her ears helplessly, muttering, "I didn't, I didn't I'm the victim, | am..."

Finally, she screamed, still in the sacting mode. Tpaused, and Rebecca angrily slapped the woman and

her superior back.

"He abused his power and tried to take advantage of me. Why don't you blthe bad guy? Why do you bully

me? Just because of my looks? Because I'm a woman? Am | easy to bully? You can't tell right from wrong and

distort the truth. You keep slandering me." Rebecca was panting heavily, her voice hoarse and strained. She

trembled all over, as if she had been wronged by everyone in the world. She embodied a newcomer who had

suffered countless injustices, unable to defend herself. Yet, it seemed as if she was also venting up grievances.

"You want to draginto the mud, but | won't let you!

Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she could cry blood tears any second, but not a single tear fell. Yet her silent

weeping was heart-wrenching. This short-term emotional outburst performance was something even the

previous supporting actors hadn't achieved. This was the first tin the history of this stage, even leaving

Taylor and Riley dumbstruck.

Even though the slaps had been dealt and vengeance had been served, the pain still seeped into the audience,

infecting

those who watched from below. Anger stirred within them, prompting them to clench their fists involuntarily as if

they could feel the semotions themselves.

The live stream went wild.

The trolls hired to post negative comments were completely drowned out by the audience's amazement at the

performance.

In a nursing hward, several medical staff stared at the large screen in astonishment. They knew

Rebecca was a good person from private interactions but weren't sure about her personal life. They heard about

the important live performance and decided to watch it with her grandmother, Harriet.

Unexpectedly, they saw a completely different character portrayal. Who was the judge who said she could only

act with her looks! They were talking nonsense,

As they watched, they heard a commotion from the bed. They looked over to see Harriet with tears in her eyes

but a happy smile on her face. She raised her hand with difficulty, pointing at the screen, proudly muttering. "My
