Audrey tapped on her phone and a voice immediately came. It was the entire conversation between Sarah and Audrey from earlier. It also included Sarah’s assistant instructing the security guard to drive her away.
The moment Sarah heard the recording, her face turned pale. She didn’t expect Audrey to be so despicable as to record their entire conversation. The innocence and kindness on her face completely faded away. The strange pointed looks and whispering from those around her made her feel so ashamed and angry that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She had really underestimated Audrey.
When the recording finished, everyone fell silent. Those criticizing Audrey now stopped talking, having been completely proven wrong. They couldn’t admit their mistake, so they turned their anger toward Sarah.
One said, “So it turns out Sarah did it herself, She had the security guard drive people away on such a wide path. Who does she think she is?”
Another remarked, “I have heard that Sarah’s private behavior was different from how she was publicly, and it turns out to be true. She’s actually like this in private. How unbelievable.”
A third added, “I used to like her, but now that I saw her true persona, I’m disgusted.”
Hearing these voices, Sarah wished she could dig a hole to hide in. Her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Audrey. “Audrey, you’re so ruthless,” she said through gritted teeth, lowering her voice.
Sarah, unable to bear the stares from those around her, wanted to flee. She grabbed her assistant and headed into the film set.
But when Sarah was about to leave, she saw two figures hurrying over from not far away. Her eyes lit up immediately. Even the crowd around her started to buzz with excitement when they saw who was coming.
A voice exclaimed, “Oh my god. It’s Morgan. He’s so handsome.”
Another shouted, “That’s my idol. He’s coming over. I love
you, Morgan.”
As a top star, Morgan was greeted with screams and shouts from all around when he arrived. Even some celebrities nearby were so excited they couldn’t speak.

Chapter 35
Morgan had been famous for a long time but had always been a legendary figure. He was known for his cold and low–key personality. Most people found it hard to even catch a glimpse of him from afar, let alone see him up close.
Morgan was reshooting some scenes and had his assistant go out to receive Audrey. But when his assistant came out and saw a large crowd around Audrey, he rushed back to Morgan, fearing something had happened.
Upon hearing that Audrey was in trouble, Morgan immediately left in the middle of the shoot, almost running in her direction, worried that she might be in danger. The director and others, thinking something major had happened, quickly followed.
When Morgan saw Audrey standing safely not far away, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to her. He didn’t get far before he was blocked by Sarah.
“Morgan, why did you come out? I was delayed outside with some things, but I’m heading in now,” Sarah said softly, looking at the director and others who had followed Morgan out, thinking they had come because they knew she was being bullied. Her expression changed, and she spoke gently.
Seeing Sarah talking to Morgan, the excited voices around them calmed down a bit. People almost forgot that there had been rumors a few days ago about Sarah guest- starring in a significant role in the movie Morgan was starring in. Seeing such a big fuss, everyone thought Morgan and the director had come for Sarah.
Some celebrities who had previously looked down on Sarah and had been gloating now felt uneasy and envious seeing Morgan personally come to fetch Sarah. After all, Morgan was the top star in the entertainment industry. He was a godlike figure and the undisputed person at the top.
Someone remarked, “Morgan personally came to fetch Sarah. What’s their relationship?”
Another said, “No wonder Sarah could get a cameo in this movie. It’s because she knew Morgan.”
A third voice commented, “Oh my god, Sarah knows Morgan. With him around, Sarah is going to become very popular.”
The voices went on. Everyone looked at Sarah with envy. Even Sarah believed it. She even thought that Morgan coming out suddenly might mean he liked her. If someone like Morgan liked her, she would be more than happy.

Moreover, once her company publicized today’s event with Morgan, it would surely become a hot topic. With Morgan around, she wouldn’t have to worry about endorsements and acting jobs.
Thinking of this, Sarah looked at Morgan with a gentler expression, her face showing a hint of shyness as she softly said, “Morgan, let’s go inside.”
Sarah’s gentle and shy demeanor made those around her even more convinced that there was something between her and Morgan. Even the director and others who had followed Morgan thought he had come out because he knew Sarah was there.
Many people in the crew started to speculate that Morgan might like Sarah. They thought, “Why would Morgan rush out when he knew she was here? Even we didn’t know Sarah arrived. The assistant must have informed Morgan. That is why he ran out despite being in the middle of filming.
The more they thought about it, the more convinced the director and the others became.
“So, Sarah has come. No wonder Morgan rushed out,” the director, Tate Peterson, said, smiling at Sarah.
“Mr. Peterson,” Sarah greeted Tate with a smile.
“Morgan, since Sarah is here, let’s go back in and continue filming,” Tate said cautiously, afraid of angering the top star. After all, Morgan was crucial for box office success and profits. He had to be treated with the utmost respect.
Sarah was also waiting for Morgan to go in with her. She had already signaled her assistant to take pictures of them together once they went inside. Posting them online would instantly make it a hot topic without even needing to promote it. Just thinking about it made Sarah’s heart pound with excitement.
Not far away, Audrey raised an eyebrow, a slight smile on her lips, as she casually glanced at Morgan.
Morgan, annoyed by Sarah blocking his way, looked at her with cold eyes filled with dislike. “Who are you? Move aside,” he said sharply.
Sarah was still dreaming, eagerly waiting for Morgan to speak, her face full of smiles. She was just about to nod when she realized what Morgan had said. Her pupils dilated at once, and her whole face turned deathly pale.
