Chapter 285\u00a0<\/p>\n
Third Person\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
M\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Celestine would not allow what happened today to reach the ears of Alpha Blackwood and his\u00a0<\/p>\n
mate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that Celestine did not argue, the crew member reluctantly released his grip on Damon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Celestine finished compensating the film crew-her face and throat still marked with scratches and bruises-she turned toward Aysel, who had stood aside the entire time, watching like a calm observer at the edge of a bloodstained clearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo,\u201d Celestine said coolly, \u201cwas letting me out of the cage just to watch this scene play out? Are you satisfied now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she wished, the pieces on the board had turned on one another. Even if she stood as the temporary victor, every breath she took was edged with vigilance and fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aysel smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot bad,\u201d she said lightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Celestine\u2019s destructive power was, indeed, even greater than Aysel had expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The so-called praise made Celestine\u2019s chest heave. Rage and unwillingness twisted together inside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had clawed desperately at every resource she could reach, struggling to climb upward-yet she kept sinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since her release, not a single day of her life had been easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, she was no longer Aysel\u2019s equal. She did not even dare provoke her further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Celestine forced her breathing steady, lifted her chin, and turned away with practiced grace- pretending she was still the proud wolf who never lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skylar watched her retreating back with a clicking tongue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the sky collapsed,\u201d she said, \u201cCelestine\u2019s neck would still be stiff enough to hold it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then Skylar turned to the crew-who were half replaying the drama in hushed excitement and half mourning their wrecked set-and waved a hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, stop sulking. She paid for the damages. I\u2019ll add another one million as extra\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 285\u00a0<\/p>\n
investment. Anyone who got hit gets ten thousand each. Dinner\u2019s on me tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aysel laughed softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSkylar\u2019s treating. I\u2019ll cover the bill.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skylar grinned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we\u2019re eating expensive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh yeah!\u201d the entire crew erupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How many more beautiful, kind-hearted, big-spending patrons like this could the world possibly offer?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even the director-previously sobbing like a wounded wolf-stopped crying. He thought, honestly, that if those three lunatics fought a few more times, he might even be able to endure\u00a0<\/p>\n
Come to think of it-though everyone involved was clearly unstable-their looks were undeniably top-tier. Especially the woman with that vicious, cutting ferocity; she outperformed even the villains in his script. Add the spineless groom, the broken older brother, the raw passion of love and hatred colliding-\u00a0<\/p>\n
If only they were his cast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the actual actors of the production had already swarmed around Aysel and Skylar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The female lead shoved aside the third supporting actress who had been praising their looks, lifted a fruit platter with a sweetened voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Skylar, Miss Vale, you must be thirsty after talking so long. Have some fruit-would you like me to feed you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second female lead lunged in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have snacks! Why don\u2019t you come sit with me instead?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean by that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean exactly what you mean.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hair was nearly pulled. Voices rose. The actresses fought for favor with the intensity of rival she-wolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aysel genuinely felt as though she had wandered into a spider den.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still\u2026 she had to admit-it was easy to feel a little lightheaded when so many beautiful wolves fought over your attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The male actors were no less eager, but before the visit, the director had sternly warned them: these two women were untouchable, far beyond their league.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now they could only grind their teeth and watch their female colleagues compete.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Such perfect patrons-couldn\u2019t the moon grant them even one chance to cling to them?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The only man allowed near was the male lead, Adam, who stood holding his phone-recently smashed during the fight-his expression utterly lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His agent had told him that someone powerful wanted him to curry favor with the single woman who visited today. Best case: keep her entertained, entangled, unable to focus elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But\u2026 which one was it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
His\u00a0<\/p>\n
gaze flickered between Skylar and Aysel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, it settled on Aysel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From what he had heard, she had tangled histories with several of the people involved today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seduce her. Serve her. Make her forget those unpleasant people and memories.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That logic\u2026 should work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right?\u00a0<\/p>\n
