Layla’s nails dug into her palms as Loke’s words replayed in her mind. She didn’t understand how Loke had fallen in love with a mediocre woman like Coco. He had been in love with her first! Layla wondered why Coco was always getting in the way. Coco had gotten first place when they entered a comic drawing contest together, and she had only gotten second place. If it wasn't first place, then she would rather have nothing. So, she had withdrawn her comic submission and stopped drawing comics altogether.Drawing comics was just Layla’s hobby, she never wanted to be a cartoonist. Later in university, she had met Coco, who was still drawing comics, and her comics were even published.Seeing her classmates praising Coco’s drawings made Layla mad. So, she wanted to ruin Coco’s life. Things were going according to what Layla had anticipated. Everyone despised Coco at school, and she lost interest in bullying Coco after that. She hadn’t expected Coco to become a cartoonist and even get h

"Stop it. What you’re saying is meaningless," Loke cut her off and pried Layla’s arms away from his waist. "I don’t love you now, and I will never love you in the future. You should know what to do, Layla." Over the next few days, nothing happened at the film set. Layla wasn’t there either. Coco continued to visit the set two to three times a week, assisting with the script adaptation.On this particular day, Coco arrived while they were filming a scene involving the supporting actress and the male lead. In one scene, the second female lead encountered the debt collectors in a park. Her father was the one who owed the money, but the debt collectors could only go to her because her father had disappeared. She was supposed to meet the male lead in the park, and just as she was about to greet him, the debt collectors found her and dragged her into a secluded area to beat her up. The male lead, thinking she had stood him up, eventually left in disappointment.This scene was a significan

The Birch family was one of the most prestigious families in Solaria."Coco is the one who won’t leave Jane alone," Rowan said, hinting at something more.The assistant looked at Rowan puzzledly. "Huh? Coco is just a cartoonist with no apparent background."Rowan flicked his assistant's forehead lightly. "Do you think I gave up a big production to star in this comic adaptation for no reason?" "Wasn't it because the CEO's secretary requested you to take this role?" The assistant’s eyes widened in surprise. "Does this have something to do with Coco?""We'll find out soon," Rowan said with a knowing smile.On the third day of the filming, Coco stayed in her studio to work on her new project. Suddenly, her phone rang. Stella’s anxious voice could be heard as soon as Coco answered the call. "Coco, come to the set immediately." Coco was startled. "What’s wrong?""Several actors are on strike," Stella replied.Coco was stunned, and a wave of unease washed over her. Stella wouldn't call h

Jane hugged Coco as if they had reconciled, but she whispered in Coco’s ear, "See, you have to do what I want. At the end of the day, you’re just a piece of trash." After saying that, Jane stepped back and looked at Coco with a smile. "I'll be looking forward to your performance!"The strike ended after Coco agreed to play the stunt double.Minnie hurriedly pulled Coco aside and asked, "Are you really going to be Jane’s stunt double?""Yes." Coco nodded."But you’re going to get beaten…""It's just a performance, after all. Besides, the staff will set up protective measures," Coco reassured her. "You apologized and agreed to be the stunt double because you didn’t want to get me into trouble, right?" Minnie finally understood Coco’s actions."I'm just afraid that if things blow up, we would have to compensate a huge amount to the crew. It has nothing to do with you!" Coco said nonchalantly.Minnie's eyes were reddish. "Coco, I'm sorry. I thought that having your comic selected for an

Coco knew at once that Jane had set her up to humiliate her.Just then, she felt that the extras were ripping her costume. She couldn’t let this go on. Coco mustered up all her strength and kicked one of the extras in the groin.The man let go while howling in pain. Coco seized the opportunity to escape. Just as she got up and took a few steps, someone grabbed her hair and yanked her back.Coco felt like her scalp was being ripped off! She felt an excruciating pain. From the corners of her eye, she saw Loke standing just a few steps away from Ash!He had said that he would talk to Ash and stop her from doing this scene, but he was there watching the whole time. Coco fell to the ground, and the extras began to kick her hard as if they intended to break every bone in her body."Enough! Stop it! They're really kicking Coco, they’re not acting!" Minnie, who was standing a little further away, realized something was wrong and tried to rush forward to help her friend.Alas, she was stop
