Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Tina’s expression instantly turned chilly, but a moment later she smoothed it over with a soft smile, her voice gentle as she said, The set a húga, dont wander off and get lost.

Her style was all soft elegance and warmth, a far cry from her real, proud personality.

She faked it so hard that Aria actually paused, giving her a look that all but said, Who possessed you?

A flush crept up Tina’s cheekshow embarrassing.

She regretted calling out to Aria in the first place.

The assistant director, Maximo Weaver, picked up on their history and asked tentatively, Tina, do you two know each other?

Tina, keeping her connections hidden, quickly replied, We’ve only met a couple of times,

Her cool tone left Maximo thinking their relationship was frosty at best.

His own attitude toward Aria soured. And who are you? You can’t just wander onto set. Security! Escort her out.

A staff member blocked Aria’s way.

Not far off, Vanessa’s assistant came running, waving frantically. She’s Vanessa’s friend, here to visit!

Tina was the show’s leading lady; Vanessa, the second female lead.

The two had butted heads on a reality show before, the fallout landing them at the top of the trending topics.

Truth be told, Vanessa had just been a targetshe barely had any diehard fans, but haters?

They were everywhere. The moment the casting list dropped, the drama’s popularity soared. The producers didn’t even need to buy publicity.

Still in character, Tina gave a sweet smile. Oh, so you’re Vanessa’s friend. Aria, you’d better hurry updon’t keep people waiting.

Aria’s look grew even more peculiar.

Vanessa’s assistant Myla quickly ushered her away. This way, Aria.”

Vanessa was signed to Starmon Films, the studio bankrolling the whole production. Starmon, incidentally, was a Stars Group subsidiary.

Tina’s lips curled in a sneer as she watched Aria go. Here for a visit? More like here to get noticedmaybe she’s hoping Mr. Dawson Campbell spots her and brings her into the industry.

Casting couch rumors ran rampant in the business, and after nine years, Tína had seen it all. She added in a low voice, Starmon Films is owned by the

Stars Group.

With that, she walked off.

Maximo, still puzzled, muttered, Why does Tina always talk in riddles?

A staffer shrugged. WhateverDawson’s almost here. The director wants us to greet him and push Vanessa’s scenes back a bi

Fine.

Tina sat for makeup, her assistant handing over her phone. She fired off a message to Derek:

Tina: [The exams are overLennox thinks he did pretty well. How about you?]

Derek: [Didn’t bother checking my score.]

He always left each exam behind him, never comparing answers.

Tina: [Don’t worry if it didn’t go well. Mandino U’s diploma is goldjust stay on the straight and narrow, Okay?]

Derek: (What do you mean crooked? Lennox told me Aria’s likely joining Mandino U as a professor, and you’re pretty close to her, aren’t your

As expected, they believed whatever Lennox said.

Derek: [None of your business.]

Tina remembered Aria’s words earlier and slammed the table. That brat!

Aria asked, How’s their skill?

Fryderyk had offered to take care of it, but Aria trusted Vanessa more.

I’ll give them thatsomeone’s been remotely poking around your phone

Vanessa snorted. Mediocre. Nowhere near me. I’ll sort it out in ten minutes.

Perfect.Aria waited, calm as ever. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Is Vanessa still resting? Dawson’s hereshe needs to come out and greet him,” called Maximo.

Myla blocked the trailer door. Sorry, Dawson, Aria’s busy. Give her a few more minutes.

The rich kid’s expression soured at once. What’s she busy with, besides resting?

Vanessa was famously principledcourtesy earned respect, but cross the line, and she’d fight back, no matter who you were,

Dawson had a reputation: he loved pursuinghis own actresses, and his pursuitusually meant harassment. Vanessa had slapped him once for it, so now he loved to make trouble for her.

Everyone in the industry knew the story.

Maximo shot Myla a look. The boss himself is here. Get Vanessa out here.

Myla bowed in apology. Sorry, Dawson, but-

The trailer door swung open, but it wasn’t Vanessa who stepped out. It was a stunning young woman no one recognized.

Dawson slicked back his hair and whistled. Hey gorgeous, are you an actress too?

Maximo cut in, She’s Vanessa’s friend, just visiting the set.

He eyed Aria, figuring she must be angling for the producer’s attention.

Aria shut the trailer behind her and coolly asked, You’re the producer for Starmon Films?
