Leona couldn't help but smirk at Jubilee's infuriated expression. She knew Jubilee's facade was just that - a façade. Leona had a knack for seeing through people who pretended to be good when they weren't.Returning to her script as if she hadn't just gotten under Jubilee's skin, Leona displayed a calm demeanor that belied the brewing storm between them.Jubilee's fury burned hotter as she saw Leona engrossed in her script. This was the first time someone had ever dared to threaten her with Alex. Jubilee might have ignored people like Leona in the past, but seeing how smitten Alex was with her was a whole new level of concern. She realized she had to take care of Leona before things escalated any further, just as she had done with countless other women who took a liking to Alex.Turning to her manager, Jubilee's voice was firm, "Tell that irrelevant woman not to bother herself with people she has no business with. Focus on the audition at hand."Leona didn't react; she simply look
The Callous CEO Chapter 213: "Leona..."
The pain in her voice was palpable, the authenticity of her emotions resonating through every word. Leona rocked back and forth, lost in the agony of her character's grief, as if attempting to comfort the child she held in her arms.Her expression shifted from grief to despair, her brow furrowing as she recounted memories that would never be made. "I will never see your smile, hear your laughter, or feel your warmth again. The world has been robbed of your light, and I am left in darkness."Leona's voice cracked, and her tears flowed freely, embodying the rawness of a mother's grief. The audience could feel the ache in her chest, the void left by an irreplaceable loss.In a heart-wrenching moment, Leona lifted her imaginary child higher, as if offering her to the heavens. "May you find peace beyond the pain, my dear. May your spirit soar above the cruelty of this world."The room was filled with the echoes of her sorrowful words, and her performance left an indelible mark on ever

"Leona, you got the role," the director announced, his voice carrying a weight that seemed to resonate throughout the room.Leona stood up with a shocked and confused look.Jubilee's confident facade shattered, her mouth agape, and her eyes wide with shock. The other actresses' congratulatory cheers died down abruptly, replaced by stunned silence.Leona's eyes welled up with a mixture of emotions swept over her—confusion , shock , and she also felt a a sense of accomplishment. She looked around the room, seeing the various reactions playing out on everyone's faces.Jubilee said with a cold smirk "Oh, this should be good. What's the twist?"Director smiled at her "Jubilee, your performance was truly captivating. You brought so much to the role." "Well, I worked really hard on it." she replied with confidence. "Absolutely, Jubilee. Your dedication shows." her manager added."And now, about Leona..." the director said and looked at Leona. Jubilee still couldn't believe they chose
The Callous CEO Chapter 215: "Oh no!"
Alex's car glided smoothly along the elegantly manicured driveway, leading to his sprawling mansion. The mansion's architecture exuded luxury, with marble pillars framing the entrance and lush gardens on either side. The evening sun cast a warm glow over the scene as Alex parked his luxurious car in front of the grand entrance.As he stepped out of the car, his gaze turned to the passenger seat where Jubilee sat, her face etched with a furious expression. Without a word, she unfastened her seatbelt and stepped out, her fists clenched in frustration. Ignoring Alex's calls, she stormed towards the mansion's entrance, her footsteps echoing in the silence.Alex quickly followed, his footsteps matching Jubilee's brisk pace. He reached out and gently grabbed her arm, stopping her just before she could slam the bedroom door shut."Jubilee, wait," he said, his tone soft yet concerned. "Can we please talk about this?"Jubilee's eyes blazed with anger, but she didn't respond. Her lips wer

Leona's heart raced as she felt the warm sensation on her face. Instinctively, she pulled back, a mix of surprise and confusion etched on her features. Before she could react, the person's arms wrapped around her, attempting to counter her movement."Whoa, easy there," the voice whispered, amusement lacing the words. Leona's mind raced, her heart pounding, as she realized someone was playing with her. With a quick, calculated move, she mustered her strength and flung her arms toward the source of the touch, ready to counterattack.However, after a brief struggle, Leona's senses began to register something odd. The person's grip remained firm, but she was suddenly lifted from the driver's seat. Her heart skipped a beat, and she let out a startled yelp. Her fingers found something to hold onto in her frantic state, and she realized she was clutching onto the person's shirt.As she was moved to the passenger's seat, her mind began to process the situation. Her surroundings blurred

"Oh, you know me, Thessa. I'm not one for grand celebrations. A simple gathering with family and close friends is all I need."Adam chimed in, surprising Sara, "I think it's about time we do something special for you, Mother. You deserve it."Sara's eyes softened as she looked at Adam. "Thank you, dear. That's very kind of you."Just then, Robert entered the hall with an arrogant and happy look. He approached Sara, bending slightly to kiss her cheek. "Grandmother, you're looking as lovely as ever."Sara smiled at him, her reaction warmer than usual. "Thank you, Robert."Thessa turned to Sara and asked, "And where's Ethan? I haven't seen him around."Sara responded, "He left for the office early this morning. He's bee

"Ethan, my dear, my son , why didn't you tell me anything?"Ethan's brows furrowed in confusion. "Tell you what, Grandmother?"Sara's happiness was palpable as she stood up and practically skipped over to him. She reached out and held his shoulders, a move that took Ethan aback, given her usual composed demeanor. "Oh, Ethan, I can't believe you're finally getting married!" she said excitedly. Ethan blinked in surprise. "Married? Grandmother, I..."Sara interrupted his unfinished question with a joyful laugh. "No need to be modest, dear. You've kept Leona a secret for long enough."Ethan's jaw nearly dropped. "Leona? How did you...?"Sara grinned, clearly reveling in her unexpected revelation. "Oh, Robert dear brought
