Chapter 1The Second Shot

When the gunshot rang out, I finally realized that the man I deeply loved was the male lead in a trashy romance novel.

The male lead is destined to love the heroine. So, where does that leave me, the faceless ex-wife?

So this time, I'll be the one to ask for a divorce.

Any reason will do. He doesn't care anyway.

Let’s go with... I fell for a younger man.

But the man just smiled arrogantly:

"Go cut ties with him. I can forgive you once."

Chloe was filming an underwater scene today. Her ink-black hair swirled in the water, and her delicate face looked even more translucent and pale from being submerged repeatedly.

So this is the woman Adrian loved to the point of madness?

It’s not surprising. She is truly beautiful.

Mark, Adrian's assistant, walked over. "Mrs. Vance, should I arrange for you two to have lunch?"

I shook my head. "Don't reveal my presence."

"Yes," Mark said. "She thinks she was selected purely based on her audition. Mrs. Vance, how should I arrange her schedule next?"

"Adrian recently invested in a film project. Take her there."

Mark was clearly taken aback.

"Mrs. Vance, you might not know this. Ms. Chloe has only been filming for a week, and already four actors on set are fighting to confess their feelings to her. People are literally fighting over who gets to buy her breakfast. Are you... really comfortable putting her next to Mr. Vance?"

Mark looked genuinely confused. After all, when Adrian had merely selected an unmarried female secretary in the past, I had thrown a massive fit in his office.

Doing something like this now seemed completely out of character for a jealous woman like me.

I said calmly, "Isn't it normal for the heroine to be loved?"

Mark looked blank, as if he wanted to ask more.

I lowered my voice, reached out, and patted his shoulder.

"This is a matter of life and death. I’m entrusting it to you. Please make sure Adrian sees her soon."
