Chapter 3

Late at night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

I thought of the hidden safe in Lucas's study, which I had never opened before.

This time, it took me only a second to open it. Because I finally knew the password was Chloe's birthday.

Inside, contrary to my expectations, there weren't any mementos of Lucas and Chloe.

There was only one company seal.

The company name on it struck me like lightning.

It was a company I had no connection with, but its name was very familiar to me.

Because all the movies, TV shows, and commercial projects Chloe had been involved in over the years were heavily invested in by this company.

I had always been puzzled.

Why did Chloe, whose acting skills were constantly criticized, have even better resources than me, a wealthy socialite?

The mystery was finally solved at this moment.

It was Lucas, always paving the way for her.

Once, a famous director personally invited me to be the lead actress in his latest film.

The script and creative team were all to my satisfaction.

To prepare for this role, I cleared half a year in my schedule, worked out to build muscle, and endured a lot of hardship.

I had expressed to Lucas more than once how important this project was to me.

But he said, "Baby, why work so hard? Isn't it better to stay at home and be Mrs. Reed?"

However, before the film started shooting, the director, willing to pay me a hefty breach of contract fee, replaced me with Chloe as the female lead.

It was this company with the mysterious legal representative that tripled the investment, snatching the role away from me for Chloe.

I put the seal back in its original position and closed the safe.

In the dark and silent room, my eyes were misty with tears.

My phone chimed with a notification, the suddenly lit screen particularly glaring in the darkness.

"Miss White, have you really thought this through?"

"Yes."

It was time to exit their love triangle game.
