Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife by Lil’ Bamboo - Season 3 Episode 20

This bruise had obviously been caused by the repeated kowtowing. “Did you really just… do whatever they told you to do? For some reason, Lucas suddenly got angry. “What else could I do?” Serenity responded. “Refuse them? In that case, I wouldn’t get paid a single dime today.” He almost choked. He was fully aware that extras were the workers at the lowest rung of the hierarchy on set, and they basically had no bargaining power at all when they were demanded to do something. “How much are you getting paid per day as an extra?” he asked in a muf fled voice.

“I was initially promised 80 dollars,” she explained, “but because there would be a kneeling scene, 50 dollars was added. Just now, when I had to demonstrate kowtowing alone in front of the others, I was given another 200 dollars He stared at her with roiling emotions. So, she had kept on kneeling and kowtowing over and over again, all just for 330 dollars? Did this wornan not know how to protect herself?! “Are there any past grudges between you and Aria Lewis?” he asked. He could naturally tell that what had happened just now was because Ana deliberately wanted to bully Serenity, yet no one on set dared to say anything about it On one hand, this was, of course, due to how little extras were valued on set. The crew was full of shrewd people, so everyone knew not to offend Aria Lewis just to help a lowly extra But it was also not least due to the fact that the person supporting Aria Lewis… was Lucas himself! Thinking of this, Lucas felt as if his chest was stuffed with a heavy load that suffocated him. “She’s my half-sister,” Serenity explained bluntly, “born of a different mother. As for past grudges, I guess she has always felt that her career and future were ruined because I had been in prison before.” Even if she did not tell him any of this, Serenity was sure that Lucas could easily find out the truth without expending much effort at all. Hence she found no reason to conceal anything from him. Mild surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he basically knew everything about Aria’s life and was well

aware of the fact that she had a half-sister who did not live with her, he had never bothered to find out what Ana’s half-sister’s name was. But that was only to be expected since he never cared much about Ana, anyway. He only kept her by his side because Aria’s lips reminded him of the girl in his memories. He never expected the woman in front of him to turn out to be Aria’s half-sister. Just then, the door to the lounge swung open, and in came the woman they had been talking about- Aria Lewis. She walked in with her face pale as a sheet. She glanced at Serenity’s now bandaged hand and then turned to Lucas, who was frowning slightly and glaring at her with displeasure. Aria rushed to Luca s’s side and tried her best to look guilty and remorseful, saying. “Thank you for bringing my sister here and getting the doctor to check up on her, Lucas. I bumped into the doctor on my way here, and he told me that my sister’s injury isn’t serious at all. I was so relieved when I heard that.” Then, she turned to Serenity and said, “I’m so sorry for what happened, Sis. I should’ve held onto the heater more carefully. I didn’t mean to let it fall on you.” Serenity stared blankly at her half-sister. She remembered how she used to love Aria sincerely and wanted to help her as much as she could with her career in the entertainment industry because to her, they were family no matter what. But after that car crash, she finally understood that her eamest feelings for Aria were completely one- sided. And now, she also figured out exactly how Aria was able to climb up the career ladder so quickly, leaping from her past position as a third-rate actress to land a role as the second lead in a major production and why even the director had to do everything she wanted.
