Chapter 1543 

Even Lina, who’d been smiling a moment ago, dropped the expression and began glancing around for Aurora. 

She didn’t quite understand why, but she followed the others’ lead. 

After all, Aurora was the owner of a small studio, and they were celebrities. 

Their commercial value existed because people like her made it possible. 

In this business, their worth was whatever the investors decided it was. 

When Aurora thought about that, it always struck her as absurd. 

But it wasn’t her place to meddle in how others chose to behave. If they wanted to flatter or speculate, that was their business, not hers. 

Soon, the shoot continued under the director’s steady coordination. 

Yvonne, however, couldn’t stand seeing Aurora so composed and confident. 

She’d always been the center of attention wherever she went, but since Aurora’s arrival, she realized her beauty didn’t shine quite as brightly anymore. 

People’s eyes began to drift, some without even realizing it, toward Aurora. 

And though she tried not to admit it, Yvonne found herself comparing them. 

The difference was clearer than she wanted to believe. 

She was older, and fine lines had begun to trace the corners of her eyes, while Aurora’s youth remained her greatest asset. Her beauty was the kind that could make even another woman feel envy. 

Could it be that Lucas was drawn to nothing more than Aurora’s looks? 

But Yvonne had known him for years, worked with him countless times. She understood what kind of man he was 

-he’d never be that shallow. 

At least, that was what she’d always believed. 

Otherwise, she never would’ve fallen for him herself. 

To her, Lucas had always been like a rare flower growing on a mountaintop-distant, untouchable, and far too pure to be tempted by something so simple. 

Lucas had always stood above the crowd, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. He had every right to ignore 

them. 

After all, he didn’t even start from the same line as everyone else. 

But now, he’d gone behind Yvonne’s back and gotten involved with a woman she didn’t even know. 

He hadn’t said a word to her about it, and that was something Yvonne simply couldn’t accept.

During filming, everyone quickly noticed how likable Aurora actually was. 

She wasn’t nearly as distant as she appeared on the surface; that cool expression was just a mask she wore to protect herself. 

Once people got to know her, they found her warm, kind, and surprisingly charming. 

Her emotional intelligence was exceptional. 

No matter what someone said, she could respond naturally, keeping the conversation flowing with ease. 

Talking to her felt effortless, comfortable. She had a way of making people feel at ease without even trying. 

Many felt the same after meeting her, even the director. 

He couldn’t bring himself to remove Aurora from the show just because of a few baseless online rumors. 

He knew exactly what kind of reaction audiences, especially those drawn to beauty, would have once she appeared 

on screen. 

That thought alone made Yvonne’s chest tighten. She couldn’t bear the idea that people’s eyes were no longer on 

her. 

Hidden among the crew, Lucas quietly noticed something off about Yvonne’s expression. He couldn’t pinpoint what it was, but he could feel the tension radiating from her.
