Chapter 245
Very quickly, the couple exited the dressing room, and the actress with the missing bracelet heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Elspeth behaving
as though nothing had happened. Looks like Lynwood isn’t planning on pursuing the matter.
Lo and behold, Elspeth scanned the room and monotoned, “Who was it that was desperately looking for their bracelet just now?”
In an instant, the actress froze as chills ran down her spine.
No one said a word, and the atmosphere quickly turned awkward.
At that, Elspeth ambled to the actress’ side and smiled as she looked at the latter’s fair, delicate face. “Why don’t you tell us what bracelet it is?”
The actress’ countenance turned awful at once. “It was an accident, Miss Lynwood. The bracelet is something my maternal grandmother left me. I-I
was just so desperate to retrieve it. I didn’t mean to do that to you.”
With the way she put it, it became as though Elspeth was unforgiving.
At that, the latter smirked. “It looks like I’ve misread the situation, then. What’s your name?”
Seeing that Elspeth decided not to pursue the issue further, the actress breathed a sigh of relief and answered, “I’m Joy Dowan, Miss Lynwood.”
“Joy Dowan...” Elspeth nodded thoughtfully. “It’s a nice name.”
“Thank you, Miss Lynwood.” Smiled Joy as she thought Elspeth wanted to get familiar with her. “I like your name better.”
“Well, even the daughter of Dowan Enterprise’s CEO has joined the film industry.”
Joy would always behave like a diva on set because of her social status, and now, seeing that Elspeth pointed it out, she naively thought that the
former wanted to win her favor, so she hurriedly answered, “It’s thanks to my family’s support that I can pursue my acting dream without worry.”
With that, she glanced at Elspeth. Seeing that the latter remained unruffled, she added, “Also, it’s fortunate I became an actress that I get to
personally see you in action.”
It became apparent that the young Dowan was sucking up to Elspeth, and those who normally weren’t on friendly terms with Joy rolled their eyes one
after another. What an *ss kisser!

However, a chuckle escaped Elspeth as she exposed the young woman. “But... I have gotten the chance to chat with Mr. Dowan over some tea in the
past. How come he has never mentioned anything about the passing of his beloved wife’s mother?”
Her words rendered everyone in the space stumped.
“I...” Little did Joy think Elspeth was familiar with the situation at home.
At that, she chuckled awkwardly and feigned genuineness. “M-My mistake. It was my paternal grandmother. Yes, it was her.”
“Is that so?” Elspeth didn’t answer her directly but pulled her laptop out and retrieved information on the Dowans and other various details; even Joy’s
horoscope and whatnot were stated in detail.
“It seems that Mr. Dowan’s mother is still around. Does this mean that you’re wishing for your grandmothers’ deaths, Miss Dowan?”
Joy was dumbfounded, and she had nothing more to say when her fig leaf had been removed.
She had so naively believed Elspeth wanted to pull her to her side and befriend her. Who had thought the woman was only finding the right time to
expose her?!
Livid, she gritted her teeth in anger while the others gazed contemptuously at her.
The next second, tears poured from Joy’s eyes as she attempted to muddle through the issue using self-harm. “I’m sorry, Miss Lynwood! I let my
emotions get the better of me. I only said so on purpose because I wanted everyone to help me look for the bracelet. I just wanted everyone to take it
seriously! I didn’t mean to lie...”
Continuing to lie now would only make things worse, and she wouldn’t be able to patch them up either.
Knowing her father’s hot temper, she’d be grounded and forbidden from pursuing her acting career if Elspeth called her father.
“Why would you rather play mind games with me and instead just say so in the first place?” Elspeth raised her chin as her gaze burned with anger.
“Do you know what I do for a living? I can dig up information about your ancestors from the Renaissance period, let alone things about your little
family.”
At that, Joy bawled even more uncontrollably, actually feeling a little fearful of the way Elspeth smiled frostily.
“I—”
“Tell the truth, and I can still reconsider keeping you in the production,” warned Elspeth with a devil-may-care attitude while blowing her nails.

“Okay, I’ll admit it! It’s because I’m jealous of you! I’m jealous that you’re prettier and richer than me, and you’re also seeing Callum. I shredded your
costume and stole your clothes to humiliate you... I’m sorry. I know what I did was wrong, and I shouldn’t have done it!”
Joy was genuinely jealous of Elspeth, for the latter was good at everything. Even luck was on her side! How could anyone not get jealous easily?!
“In other words, you were aware that what you devised was wrong, yet you still did it out of your so-called jealousy, am I right?”
Joy was rendered stupefied, unsure of what to say for a moment.
“Since you love to be jealous, I should ask the director to add a scene for you. Let’s see... We’ll showcase how jealous you are of me. What do you
think?” Elspeth gibed, leading Joy to shake her head in refusal like her life depended on it. “No, it’s fine, Miss Lynwood. I will never do something like
this again. I swear on my life!”
“To err is human, to forgive is divine,” Elspeth said the harshest words with the brightest smile. “Since you’ve learned your lesson, go home and write
a reflection letter. Ten thousand words—no more, no less. Return to the set once you’re done with it.”
Joy’s eyes widened with incredulity. Ten thousand words?! Isn’t that just another way of kicking me out of the production?!
For one, Elspeth didn’t put it too bluntly, and she nodded with approval when she saw the terror enveloped on Joy’s face as she guessed the latter
had understood the underlying message.
“Alright, Miss Dowan. I hope you won’t cause any more trouble. I have recorded the entire conversation. If you create another issue that upsets me, I
will send this recording to your dear father. By then, it’ll be up to him what will be done.” Elspeth waved her phone with a devious smile.
Joy’s face turned ghastly pale. “My father...”
“By the way, I wouldn’t be so hopeful that Mr. Dowan will take your side if I were you. Between correcting his daughter’s behavior and losing the
chance to partner with Azure... I’m sure any wise man would never choose the latter.”
At that, she approached the director and smiled. “We should get to filming, should we not? We’ll have less time to sleep if we drag this on.”
The director had been reeling in bewilderment from Elspeth’s words and finally came to himself when the young woman turned to him. “Okay, let’s
go.” The director nodded before turning to Joy. “Don’t overthink this, alright, Joy? Miss Lynwood’s words are for your own good. If you want to star in
a film, I’ll cast you in another one.”
Joy was only playing a side character anyway. It was better to offend the young woman than to cross Elspeth.
Joy, on the other hand, stumbled and finally couldn’t take it anymore, turning around and running away while crying.
