“Don’t force yourself if you can’t act, Matthew said those words without much weight. He believed that Veronica would become a great actress in the future.
After gaining so much experience over the years, Veronica had performed too many acts, hence being an actress was not a challenge for her at all.
Matthew had full confidence in her. In the afternoon when he heard that she had failed many times in her scenes with Eviette and was scolded by the director, he still couldn’t rest assured and came to the set. “Don’t worry about me,” Veronica retorted impatiently.
“Anyhow, you are still known as my ex-wife. I hope you can handle your job professionally.” His exquisitely handsome face was tinged with a touch of coldness as he left without any mercy after saying those words. “He’s so harsh!”
“President Kings must really dislike her.” “Of course. I feel sorry for Veronica. Her ex- husband came to the set to visit another woman and even brought flowers. How infuriating.”
“It’s all her own fault.” Even though Veronica knew that everything was an act, she couldn’t help but feel quite upset upon hearing his words.
Afterward, Matthew chatted with Eviette for a little longer before leaving. While everyone was still discussing the matter, Melvin sat on the couch with his legs crossed in Eviette’s dressing room. His gaze fixed on the bouquet that was freshly delivered. “Since when did you know Matthew?”
Eviette found a vase, washed it, filled it with water, and gently placed the flowers into the vase. “Since a long time ago.”
“Seems like he’s quite interested in you.” Melvin, who had just been gentle in front of Veronica, changed his tone and pulled at the collar of his white shirt, exuding a rogue aura. “Really?” Eviette paused for a moment, smiled contentedly, and said, “Maybe.”
“In public, he treats you and Veronica completely differently. It’s apparent that he doesn’t favor Veronica much,” Melvin sighed.
Eviette put away the wrapping paper and threw it into the trash can while inquiring, “Then you don’t have to pretend in front of Camden and suffer anymore.”
“No, way. Veronica is Matthew’s ex-wife and the mother of their two children, after all. She still has value to me.” Melvin raised his right hand and wiggled his index finger, looking confident and arrogant.
He continued, “You should have dinner with him tonight, and it would be best to bring Veronica along. I guarantee that you will be trending online tomorrow.”
“You can definitely read my mind.” Eviette gently hooked a rose with her slender finger, leaned over to smell it, and allowed the pleasant fragrance of the flowers to fill her heart. It was a sweetness she had never experienced.
“Your family is terrifying. At first, you guys wanted to get rid of Veronica because she was married to Matthew. Now that they are divorced because of a broken relationship, you still want to use her.”
Speaking of this, Eviette turned her head to look at Melvin and stated, “I better be careful when I marry Matt in the future.”
Her remark was spoken in an amused tone because she didn’t sincerely mean it. “You’re already thinking about turning your back before you even marry him. That’s not fair, Evie.”
Melvin propped his elbow on the back of the couch to support his forehead. When he scratched his brow with his finger, he looked mischievously handsome.
“I’m just kidding. If I marry Matt, we’ll become family,” Eviette explained. Melvin looked disappointed and aggrieved. “Then I’ll have to visit a reliable plastic surgeon to turn myself into my brother. Maybe you’ll change your mind and fall in love with me.”
