Chapter 2231
“Oh, it’s no surprise you don’t recognize me; I joined just a few months before you did. I
came in with Ivy,” Margot said with a sly grin, her words laced with undisguised sarcasm.
Diana rolled her eyes, “With that sharp tongue, how come you haven’t sweet-talked Ivy
into giving you more screen time?”
Margot feigned surprise, “In Colton’s productions, everyone knows you can’t just write
yourself a bigger part. Are you projecting, Diana? Using your little tricks to pressure the
screenwriter and director into beefing up your role-tsk, tsk, tsk. If I were you, I’d be too
ashamed to show my face around here, let alone strut around like a cat who got the
cream. Unbelievable.”
“You!”
No matter how understanding Diana appeared now, her past actions of stirring up a
bullying scandal among the cast and crew were undeniable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn this moment, she felt the weight of hostile glares directed at her.
Diana stepped forward, her face set in a cold mask, and hissed a threat at Margot, “Keep
up that smart mouth of yours. Next time we cross paths, I’ll be curious to see what sort of
‘flowers’ you can talk then!” With that, she stormed off without looking back.
Margot was well-liked in the crew, and her close friends quickly gathered around her with,
concern, “Oh dear, why did you have to stick your neck out for Ivy? Both of those women
are a force to be reckoned with. What if you can’t find work because of this? After all,
Diana’s got the might of Starlight Entertainment behind her.”
Margot shrugged, “Can’t help it; I just can’t stand by and watch. It’s just who I am.
Besides, it wasn’t Ivy’s fault. She refused to use a stunt double out of consideration for the
production. How did it end up being her own doing?”
Last time, she couldn’t restrain her thoughts and had spoken up for Ivy, and it was no
different now. Even though she was used to seeing all sorts of sleazy behavior in the
industry, she still believed in maintaining a shred of integrity.
“I hope when Ivy gets back, hearing that you spoke up for her helps clear up any trouble,”
someone remarked. “After all, she’s got her own connections.”
Margot took her friend’s arm and steered her to the side, “I didn’t speak up for her
because
expected anything in return. I just want her to come back safe and sound.”
They both sighed. No one had expected a simple case of near-drowning to result in such a
severe coma.
“We really need to clean house,” Colton muttered, frustrated, particularly with Diana’s
smugness. He needed to find a way to deal with her.

Some of the crew remained on set, waiting for the director’s instructions.

“Colton, no one wanted this to happen. All we can do now is pray Ivy wakes up soon. Just
let us know what you need, and we’ll be ready,” they offered.
“Don’t worry, just keep the gear well-maintained. When we’re back, I’ll make sure our
leading lady returns safe and sound,” Colton assured, bringing a sense of relief to the
crew.
When Colton had been away, everyone had been anxious, unsure of the production’s
future. However, with his promise, a sense of security settled in among them.
“Have you figured out what to do with Diana?” the producer asked, wary of a direct
confrontation with Diana.
That woman was ruthlessly ambitious, the kind who’d stop at nothing to get what she
wanted, even if it meant mutual destruction.
The producer wasn’t fond of Diana’s smug attitude either, but they had to prioritize the
bigger picture.
“Don’t worry about it,” Colton said. “Mr. Howard is back. What do we have to fear? With
Ivy in such a critical condition, he’ll certainly get to the bottom of it. We won’t have to lift a
finger.”
