The call was from Zach. He asked if she was feeling carsick or anything. Elvira couldn’t help but smile at the question. She wondered. “When have I ever been prone to motion sickness? her smile was so sweet, a telltale sign of how happy she
was. It was clear she was in a good place in life right now.
Cole glanced at the conversation for a moment before pulling out his phone and continuing the small game Elvira had recommended. Since she wanted him to relax, he figured he’d let her see him unwind.
By noon, they arrived at the set. The person in charge led them inside, where they found Morris and Cheryl filming a scene together. Both were deeply immersed in their roles, their performances absolutely flawless. Watching them, Elvira felt even more confident about the movie’s success.
When the director finally called “Cut,” Cheryl and Morris took a moment to relax, still trying to shake off the intensity of the scene. It was Cheryl who spotted Elvira first, and for a moment, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. She couldn’t believe Elvira had really come to the set. With excitement, she hurried over, lifting her skirt as she ran, her clumsy excitement making Elvira smile fondly.
“Elvira, it’s really you. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!” Cheryl grabbed Elvira’s hand happily, her eyes sparkling.
Morris quickly walked over. He was also very excited to see Elvis He restrained himself and greeted her. It was obvious that he had something to say.
Elvira had brought food with her and told the director she wanted to take the two of them out for a meal before bringing them back. The director had no problem with it. He knew she was his big boss.
Elvira and Cole brought Cheryl and Morris out for lunch. Cheryl was quite talkative, eager to share everything with Elvira, while Morris didn’t say much, he just watched and listened.
When they returned after lunch, Morris stopped Elvira. “Mr. Willis, how’s Vivian now? I haven’t been able to contact her while filming.
“What did she tell you?” Elvira asked.
“She keeps telling me not to worry about her and to focus on filming, not to let you down,” Morris said anxiously. “I just feel like she’s slipping away from me.”
“Then listen to her. She’s safe now, and I won’t let anyone hurt her again,” Elvira promised firmly.
Morris looked relieved. He hesitated for a moment, as if embarrassed, but then gathered his courage and said, “Mr. Willis,
to wait for me? Once filming is done, I want to marry her.” tell Vivian could

A smile appeared in Elvira’s eyes. “I’ll pass the message along. I think she’ll be happy to hear it. Are you sure you’re sincere? You don’t mind what she’s been through?”
Morris’s expression froze. “She did it for me. If it weren’t for her don’t know where I’d be now. If didn’t want her, would I still be human?*
“But after this film, you’ll probably become a top star. Vivian might always stay in the shadows, a background character in life. Will you still stay true to her then?” Elvira asked, concerned
She worried that Morris might be swayed by fame and fortune that happened, the person who would suffer the most would be Vivian, and the hurt would be deeper. After all, it’s one thing to be hurt by strangers, but to be hurt by the person you love most, that would be devastating, she thought.
“I want to be a top star. I have one goal, to make sure Vivian never gets hurt again. I want her to live a good life. If it’s just me, I don’t need a good life, Morris said through gritted teeth.

“Good. Remember why you’re doing this and keep that in mind Vivian needs you,” Elvira said. She hadn’t yet told him about the seriousness of Vivian’s depression. That was also Vivian’s wist She didn’t want it to interfere with his work.
Morris nodded vigorously, Elvira patted his shoulder and left fi
Elvira had originally planned to stay overnight to monitor the filming progress and the actors‘ performances. However, Zach was too clingy. If she didn’t return home, he would come over in the evening. So, she had to leave earlier than planned.
After Elvira arrived, Cheryl and Morris seemed more energized. As long as they were in a scene together, it went perfectly on the first take. The other actors, who didn’t know Elvira’s identity, were curious and approached her.
“That’s our sponsor! Miss Willis pays our salaries! Cheryl said proudly.
*Really? She’s so beautiful and so young. Is she actually an investor? She’s prettier than most actresses. Why doesn’t she act herself?” someone asked.
The people around were puzzled, all straining their ears to listen, After all, these days, investors loved starring in their own productions, even if they weren’t exactly easy on the eyes. Yet, this sponsor was drop–dead gorgeous and didn’t choose to act herself.
“Miss Willis has several companies to manage. She’s incredibly busy. Where would she find the time to waste on acting? Just focus on doing your best. There’ll definitely be rewards, Cheryl advised earnestly.
Hearing this, the young actors‘ eyes sparkled with admiration. Wow, I didn’t see that coming. The boss of this production is a total knockout and a powerhouse in business? That’s seriously impressive, they thought.
Determined to leave a good impression on the glamorous sponsor, they threw themselves into their performances with renewed enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, one of the male actors on Morris‘ side tried probing for information. Though Morris wasn’t as chatty as Cheryl, he did mention that Elvira was both the investor and producer, the sole boss of this project. If we give it our all, there will undoubtedly be benefits,’ they thought.
Elvira left in the afternoon. On her way back, her phone buzzed. It was Zach calling to update her on Jayden’s situation.
Jayden didn’t have any sophisticated tricks up his sleeve. The only reason he managed to plan the first fire and evade capture was thanks to a few crime dramas he’d watched, picking up some tricks along the way. But the second time, he got cocky His plan was riddled with flaws, and it didn’t take long for him to get caught.
“His name is Jayden Barker, and he’s already taken a paternity test with Judy. It confirmed that they’re father and daughter,” Zach continued, laying out the critical details.
Elvira couldn’t suppress her laughter. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. “That’s fantastic. Looks like the Willis family is in for a show!”
“When you’re back, I’ll bring Jayden along, and we’ll expose your stepsister together,” Zach offered.
“Not yet,” Elvira replied, her voice brimming with excitement. “I not the right time. Keep Jayden–locked up for now, just make sure nothing happens to him. When the moment comes, he’ll be useful.”
Zach chuckled softly, his tone indulgent. “Got it.”
After hanging uji Elvira was still in high spirits. She would never forgive Mrs. Karen Willis and Vincent for what they’d done to her and her brother. All she wanted was to see them regret their actions so deeply that they were reduced to tears.
