Chapter 156

Eliza raised her hand and placed it where her heart was. She was sure that it was Beau who had occupied her heart. But… what about Beau? She had only known him for a short time, and he had his own past. Even if Beau was in love with her right now, Eliza was not sure of what position she was in his heart.

Such discovery made her angry, frustrated, and uneasy. She stared at the TV with the remote control in her hand and was stunned for a long time. “Eliza, do you like to watch this kind of news?” After some time, Gloria’s teasing voice rang in her ears. Eliza suddenly came to her senses and took a closer look.

The TV showed that the president of a foreign country was delivering his inauguration speech. “I didn’t expect Eliza to be so concerned about the current affairs.” The actors on the side sat down on the sofa while joking. Julian not only brought Gloria, but also many other actors. Almost everyone in the crew was here. Of course, except Joye. As the host, Julian took out his mobile phone to order and chuckled. “I planned to have a meal myself, but I thought it was boring so I called everyone here.” “The dishes on the table are definitely not enough. Please eat whatever you want first. I’ll place an order now. It’s my treat tonight!” As soon as he finished his words, cheers were sounded in the room.

As the person with the highest status in the crew, Julian’s room was the largest and most luxurious room in the hotel. It was not crowded even if there was a group of people there. Some people were eating snacks and chatting, and some people proposed to play cards together. Because of the previous news, Eliza had completely lost interest in playing cards and chatting. She sat silently at one side, staring at the mobile phone in her hand. It was her conversation with Beau.

It had been ten minutes since she sent him the message. He didn’t reply her yet. … Is he at work?’ Or was it inconvenient for him to reply as he was with Joye of Lucija? Or… Eliza did not dare to continue thinking about it. “Tsk, tsk. You’re already married, but why are you still staring at your phone like a couple who just got together?” Gloria held a packet of melon seeds and sat down beside Eliza. “Do you want to eat this?”

Eliza paused, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and began to eat them. “I used to hate you.” Gloria was eating melon seeds while sighing. “I think people like you are useless except for the hype.” “But I’ve changed my mind now.” Eliza frowned and glanced at her. “Is it because of Joye?” “Not really.” Gloria shrugged her shoulders. “I chatted with Mr. Diaz for a while in the afternoon, and he said you didn’t know what’s good for you.” “You don’t even want the hype he gave for free.” Eliza paused for a moment, then understood. Mr. Diaz’s words meant that she was not willing to add a kiss scene, right? She lowered her head. “My husband is not an actor. The reason why he became the substitute t he said during the press conference, he doesn’t want me to kiss another man.” “I’ll only give him troubles if the kissing scenes are added.” Beau had his own things to do. He should not waste his time on the crew because of her, let alone to cater to other people’s interests just because he had a wife who was an actress. “That’s why.” Gloria shrugged. “I think I misunderstood you before.” “And I thought about it carefully. It was Joye who added fuel to the fire to my misunderstanding about you.” “From the beginning, she wanted to use me as a bait to go against you.” With this, Gloria was filled with indignation.

“I hate being used by others the most in my life!” “Joye is such a vicious woman. She deserves to be infamous!” Looking at Gloria’s angry look, Eliza smiled helplessly. It was precisely because of her personality that she was inspired by Joye, wasn’t it? However, this personality made her rather lovable. “I know what you are thinking.” Looking at Eliza’s eyes, Gloria curled her lips. “You must be curious why I used to believe Joye so much.” “When I first entered the entertainment circle, Joye and I came from the same agent. Because her mother is a psychiatrist, she also knows some psychological guidance and assistant skills. So I became friends with her…” “Actually, before I became friends with her, I heard a few rumors about her mother, but I felt she was a different person from her mother… In the end, I discovered that she was just like her mother, who’s filled with bad intentions!” While listening to her words, Eliza looked at the mobile phone’s screen with the corner of her eye and asked from time to time, “What happened to Joye’s mother?” “Don’t you know?” Gloria bit her lip and lowered her voice to whisper to Eliza’s ear. “Joye’s mother was the former director of the psychiatric hospital in the city. She was sent to jail because she used to take normal people as lunatics.” “The current director of the psychiatric hospital is Joye’s cousin. Her last name is also Long, just like mine.”

“I heard that she’s not someone good, either. A few years ago, she took a woman who had just given birth into custody as a psychotic.” “But later on, for some reason, that woman did not sue the director.”

“Otherwise, do you think Joye would have the money to enter the entertainment circle?” “She could enter the entertainment circle and film with such ordinary appearance and acting skills are all thanks to her cousin’s help!” After that, Gloria sighed. “I was too naive at that time.” “Joye has such a person around her. How innocent could she be?” “I regarded her as a friend but she always treated me as her bait!”

Eliza pursed her lips and was about to say something, but she suddenly thought of something and raised her head. “Did Joye’s cousin… kidnap a woman who had just given birth and lock her up as a psychotic?” Her voice was a little loud. Everyone who was playing cards in the room stopped and looked in their direction in surprise. Julian, who was reading the newspaper, frowned. “There is a balcony behind you.” Eliza frowned. Before she could understand the meaning behind his words, she had already been pulled to the balcony by Gloria. With a ‘bang’ sound, the balcony door was closed, separating Eliza and Gloria from the others inside the room. “Why are you so surprised?” Gloria lowered her voice. “This is just a rumor. If the others hear us, Joye will also hear this sooner or later.” “When the time comes, she will definitely think of ways to deal with you again!” Eliza bit her lips and looked up at Gloria seriously.

“Where did you hear that from?” “Can you… help me ask when did that happen?” If it was five years ago… The woman in the legend should be her!
