Chapter 335
Ophelia put away her phone and heard two voices talking at the entrance.
“I don’t know how Sharon got so lucky. That movie she was in last year got her nominated alongside you, Carmen, our beloved actress. It’s ridiculous.”
“This year’s Best Actress award is going to you, Carmen.”
Two lesser-known actresses bantered back and forth, dripping with
envy and resentment.
This year, Sharon not only had a lead role in a major film but appeared in a high-budget TV series with excellent ratings.
with Thomas, attracting a lot of fans. Naturally, she became a target of Her fame rose along with the official announcement jealousy.
Ophelia glanced over. The actress was called Carmen. Back then when Sharon was still unknown and playing supporting roles, Carmen had already participated in two or three major films. However, she never won, any awards. It seemed she was a newly signed artist at SN Entertainment.
She recalled hearing about her when the person in charge mentioned her in a work report.
She didn’t take part in their operations, and only a handful of people were aware of her presence.
Carmen was wearing a limited edition designer gown, with her face detailed with delicate makeup, and a subtle smile playing on her lips. Yet, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Ophelia withdrew her gaze and, following the seat number given by James, she sat down in the front row.
While the others were still taking turns on the red carpet for photos, she took her seat alone.
Not being part of the industry, she had hired professionals to manage her entertainment company. Sitting there alone, she drew curious glances from passersby.
She wasn’t wearing a gown, just in a simple outfit she chose for the day, looking more like a staff member. However, her aura was different.
“Who is that? Why is she sitting here?”
“Doesn’t she know the rules?”
“Yeah. Not just anyone can sit in the front row.”
At that moment, Carmen walked over, slightly lifting her gown, and sat down next to Ophelia.
She
gave
the girl next to her an once-over.
Even without a fancy dress but with a face free of makeup, she still shone while sitting there. Her features were pure and stunning, without any hint of menace, but yet she exuded an intimidating presence. Her natural charisma made everyone around her seem less noticeable, putting immense pressure on those sitting near her.
Carmen forced a slight smile and said, “You’re sitting in Rex’ spot, aren’t you?”
Some actors or actresses found out in advance who they’d be sitting next to, making it easier to communicate and avoid sitting near someone with a similar acting style or past conflicts. Ophelia was aware of this, but the seat number she received was exactly that.

Seeing she gave no reaction, Carmen snorted, surprised to meet someone like this. “Didn’t you hear me talking to you?”
“I’m not sitting in your seat,” Ophelia said, lifting her eyelids to meet her gaze.
Those eyes, clear and cnotionless, yet somehow gave off an intimidating vibe.
Carmen went silent at her words, sitting down angrily and immediately messaging her agent on WhatsApp.

Wasn’t she supposed to sit next to Rex? She signed up with SN Entertainment to get closer to him, but months passed without a chance to meet him. Just when she thought she had an opportunity, someone unknown grabbed the seat next to her.
Two junior actresses who had been trailing behind Carmen quickly adjusted to her mood. “Did she do it on purpose? Is she trying to grab Rex’ attention by taking his seat?”
“Let her stay there. Everyone knows Rex is famous for having a short fuse in the industry. Just wait for the fireworks.”
“Haha…” they laughed.
Their seats were further back, but they kept their eyes fixed on this spot.
Carmen thought the same, as her agent confirmed again that there was no last-minute change to her neighboring seat.
He cast an even more disdainful glance at the girl beside her.
She didn’t know her place.
Not long after, Rex took a group photo at the entrance and, after signing in, walked over with confident strides.
Usually, his style was pretty flashy, but now he was wearing a high-end tailored suit that highlighted his great physique. His strikingly handsome face could easily outshine anyone in the entertainment industry.
His charming eyes sparkled with a happy smile, hinting at a good mood.
Carmen’s gaze never left Rex. She’d heard he came from a wealthy family, and if she could marry him, it would be like marrying into wealth.
Everyone around who heard the commotion was waiting for some drama.
Carmen stood up to greet him. “Hi Rex, we’re from the same company…” Just as she raised her hand, Rex walked right past her.
Her hand, adorned with long manicured nails, was left awkwardly hanging in the air.
Carmen’s face showed clear disappointment. She clenched her palm and watched as Rex headed straight toward Ophelia.
“Rex, she’s in your seat. I was just trying to help you…”
Before she could finish, everyone was watching over, expecting Rex to lose his temper.
That didn’t happen. Instead, Rex looked like a big puppy, with eyes shining. “Sister, it’s great that I could sit next to you.”
His voice was adorably childish.
Carmen was stunned and thought, ‘Sis?’
Everyone else was also in disbelief.
That was when someone remembered that Rex had a sister. He even personally posted on Twitter before to speak up for

her.
Those with phones immediately searched for that Twitter post.
So it was her.
Carmen couldn’t believe it, with her eyes wide in disbelief. She regretted what she had done.
