Chapter 2209
“You… I know there have been talks about me surpassing your popularity in the show, but that’s the director’s decision, not ours, right? Did you have to vent your dissatisfaction on
me?”
Diana wiped a tear from her eye, her expression of utter dejection. The bandage peeking out from under her sleeve made her look even more pitiable, and more than a few onlookers felt a pang of sympathy for her.
“Hey there, Diana, don’t be sad. Get on up,” Ivy offered, reaching out to help her up, only to have her hand sharply pushed away.
“Thanks, but I’d rather sort things out with you directly instead of you harboring any more. resentment or giving me dirty looks.”
It was then that Ivy realized that Diana was no angel either, cut from the same cloth as Giselle! And once again, Ivy found herself at the center of a drama storm due to her lack
of caution.
Coming to her senses, Ivy backed up a few steps, crossing her arms defensively and watching Diana’s little performance.

“I have no issues with you, Diana, and I really don’t get why you’re making such accusations,” Ivy said, her tone nonchalant. Diana felt slighted, as if her anger was being brushed off, and her inner fire blazed even hotter.
She could not fathom why the crowd was so taken with Ivy. She had multiple moments to shine in the trailer, her acting prowess on full display, yet her fan base had grown by less than a hundred thousand. On the other hand, Ivy seemed to draw a legion of fans with just a glimpse in a trailer. Even Diana’s agent could not help but praise Ivy’s natural charm with the audience.
Even those who were not fans enjoyed watching Ivy’s shows. For an actress, this sort of appeal was like a mysterious force. Despite Ivy being a newbie, her charisma and acting skills put her in the spotlight, much to Diana’s chagrin.

“Ms. Dunhill, I’m already hurt, and now you’ve caused me another fall. Do you not want the film’s production to get back on track? As actors, we shouldn’t be so petty, engaging in these rivalries. You should know that better than anyone…”
“Sorry, but I believe you’ve been in the business a couple of years longer than I have, right?
Besides, I don’t think I should be more versed in these so-called ‘rules of acting’ than you. you’re making such a scene-what exactly have I done to wrong you?” Ivy retorted.
Colton massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He did not know what had gotten into this film, but it seemed cursed with drama. They had just managed to move past one diva’s exit, and now the leading lady was at odds with the supporting actress. Could they not have even one day of peaceful shooting?
“Let’s talk this out without making a scene. Help Diana up, for heaven’s sake. What does it look like, her slumping on the floor like that?”
He had been busy with the equipment and had not seen how Diana ended up on the ground, but it seemed clear she believed Ivy had pushed her down.
Diana’s entourage hurried over to help her up, and during the process, she could not resist whimpering as though in severe pain.
Watching Diana’s over-the-top display, Ivy could not help but speak up, “Diana, the director already advised you-if your foot isn’t healed, you shouldn’t push yourself to come to set. A scene that should’ve taken ten minutes is now wasted because of your stubbornness. This whole afternoon has gone down the drain. Do you still think you’re being insisting on working through an injury? In the end, you’re the one holding up production.”
