She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 517: Miss Zamora Must Be Jealous of You

"Kate!" Jayla's anxious and caring voice echoed in her ears.

Kate's mind went blank... A buzzing echo filled her mind, and for a brief moment, she couldn't hear anything.

Juliana, on the other hand, was quite satisfied. She half-squinted her eyes, and her smile instantly transformed into an innocent one.

"Sorry, Miss Zamora, it was an accident. I hope you're not angry," Kate said.

An accident? Jayla's face turned livid, and she trembled all over. This scene wasn't even in the script.

Struggling to stand up, clutching her numb knees, Kate gazed at Juliana with burning anger in her eyes.

Step by step, she approached Juliana, the distance between them diminishing until they stood less than a meter apart. The standoff shocked everyone on set, and they were curious to see how Miss Zamora would respond-probably with silence, considering Juliana's influential background.

Juliana tightened her grip on the fan handle, and the motion of fanning ceased as she subconsciously took a step back, her voice tense. "What do you want to do? I've already apologized..."

"Smack!"

The sudden slap stunned Juliana and left the onlookers in disbelief, wondering if Kate wasn't afraid of losing her role.

It took Juliana a while to come to her senses. She covered her face and, on the verge of tears, asked her assistant, "Where's the mirror? Let me see my face!" Her assistant, with a shrill voice, exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, your face is so red!"

"That woman is so vicious. Your delicate face is swollen."

"Clearly, Kate, you are so calculating. You can't stand the fact that I took the leading role that should have been yours, can you?" Juliana indignantly accused, turning the scene into a confrontation between a noblewoman and her maidservant.

Looking disdainful, Kate retorted, "You? Jealous of you?"

Had she gone mad? The answer to who was more beautiful between Miss Chambers and Miss Zamora was undoubtedly the latter.

In terms of good looks, it should be Juliana envious of Kate instead.

Unabashed, Juliana even proposed to the director to expel Kate from the crew. "Mr. Collins, think about it. I cannot work with Kate. She's so malicious, I'm afraid," she assertively declared.

Mr. Collins, who had been called, hurried over clutching the script in his hand.

He glanced helplessly at Kate and, with a tone of dismay, said to Juliana, "Miss Chambers, this isn't good. We've already signed the contract, and breaking it will cost us money."

"Do you think this is acceptable? I can have Miss Zaroma apologize to you..." Mr. Collins suggested, but it was immediately met with simultaneous rejection from both Kate and Juliana.

"No way!" Kate turned back coldly, firmly rejecting Mr. Collins. "I won't apologize. It's been Juliana picking a fight from the start!"

Juliana crossed her arms and had her assistant remove her headgear, stating, "I won't accept her apology either. My face hurts right now. Kate, I'll see you in court!"

"That's it for today. I won't film

discussing any investment matters." The backer behind Juliana had agreed to invest in several web. dramas directed by Mr. Collins in order to promote her. If things fell through, it would be a major blow for Mr. Collins. He had put ab his eggs in one basket, and if the drama

couldn't be completed and released as scheduled, everything would be over. In the end, he had to choose to apologize to Kate.

"Miss Zaroma, I'm sorry. How about... you don't need to come tomorrow. Let's just forget about the contract!"

Kate wouldn't agree, and neither would her agent, Jayla.

"Mr. Collins, the contract clearly stated at the beginning that if the production company's reasons led to the dismissal of our artists midway, you would have to

compensate three times the

performance fee."

"Now you're saying we should just forget about it. Are you trying to take advantage of the fact that Kate is easygoing?"

Mr. Collins wouldn't compensate. His voice sounded even more uncontrollable due to his guilty conscience, as he impatiently said, "I've made up my mind. Don't come tomorrow. That's it!"

With that, he prepared to leave.

Frustrated, Kate reached out to grab his sleeve. "Wait, you can't just leave without settling this!"

"Let go!" Afraid that Kate would continue to raise the issue of the contract, Mr. Collins rudely shook off her hand.

However, he overlooked the issue of

the gender gap. With a single push, Kate's delicate body flew back like kite with a broken string. Not far behind her was a fake rock prop made of plastic. Although it wasn't too sharp, falling onto it could still cause a broken and bleeding injury.

"Kate!" Jayla was about to rush out to catch Kate when a blue figure ran to Kate before her.

Her vision blurred, and she had yet to clearly see the man's appearance. Suddenly losing her balance, without any sense of security, she tightly closed her eyes, preparing for the fall. Suddenly, her waist was tightened, and she fell into the embrace of a stranger.

A refreshing, pleasant scent, like the fragrance of osmanthus in summer, filled her senses, etching itself deeply into Kate's mind.
