Chapter 114
After a week of working day and night, they completed thirty-five sets of dresses.
When the crew members saw these beautiful dresses, their eyes couldn’t help but light up.
The design, craftsmanship, and materials were all top-notch, even the button knots were exquisitely made.
A good movie is not just about the actors and the plot, but also about the costumes and props.
Madeline was the leading lady, so she had many dresses, and she couldn’t help but admire each exquisite one. “Stephie, your designs are truly amazing. even better than Star’s at Starlight Design Studio. But I also appreciate Star’s designs. Honestly, your design styles are quite similar.”
Stephanie was about to reveal that she was Star, but then she saw Sabrina, who she had kicked out of the design studio before, walking over
Sabrina greeted Madeline
e first, then smiled and said, “Ms. Fletcher.”
Stephanie nodded slightly.
Back then, Sabrina was fired from Star Studio because she badmouthed Stephanie behind her back with Ivy. But since she had already left Starlight Design Studio, Stephanie didn’t see the need to hold a grudge against her.
Sabrina fidgeted with her fingers, “Ms. Fletcher, I’m now helping the actors with fittings on the set. Other design studios don’t want me because of thatNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Incident.”
Stephanie replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t sabotage you on the set.”
Sabrina looked guilty, “Ms. Fletcher, can you please overlook my past mistakes? I know I was wrong. I’ll change, can you let me come back to Starlight Design Studio? The Studio is my lifelong dream. After being expelled, my whole life felt gloomy, Ms. Fletcher, can you give me another chance?”
Stephanie raised her hand to stop her from speaking further, “I’m sorry, I always hold grudges.”
Sabrina’s eyes welled up, “I’m sorry. I know my words were harsh, but I truly realize my mistake. Can you forgive me, please?”
Stephanie shook her head, “It’s your responsibility to know your mistake, but you can’t expect that apologizing means automatic forgiveness. Hope you learn from this, and stop spreading rumors behind others’ backs.”
With that, she and Madeline headed to the dressing room for fittings.
Sabrina watched their backs, feeling full of sorrow.
She believed Stephanie would speak ill of her to Madeline and spread the news of her expulsion from Starlight Design Studio.
She bit her lower lip hard, feeling deeply humiliated.
At that moment, Megan walked past Sabrina, “Why beg for mercy from someone with a heart of stone?”
Sabrina was about to respond when she noticed a note in her hand.
Megan said, “There are many eyes around, go back and read it.”
Sabrina recognized it was from the Megan of the Jimenez family. She didn’t understand Megan’s meaning, but she knew she must have some value in someone’s eyes.

She discreetly tucked the note away, acting as if nothing had happened and left.
Today, the film crew had their opening ceremony. The director, producers, screenwriters, supervisors, all the actors, and crew members gathered for the ceremony.
Stephanie was also there, finding it quite novel as she had never experienced something like this before.
Previously, at Florence’s concert, she saw the staff gathering to celebrate, but she could only silently stand at the back and feel the joy from afar.
When it came to taking photos, Madeline was the female lead and stood in the front row.
She noticed Stephanie standing at the back, so she pulled her to the front row and sandwiched her in between herself and the male lead, the popular star Julius Xanthos.
Julius was familiar with Stephanie since her stories had been all over the internet for the past three months.
He joked, “I wonder if my position here will upset Mr. Fletcher?”
Stephanie smiled softly, “It won’t.”
Julius smiled warmly, “On closer inspection, your nose and mouth look a bit like Madeline’s.”
Madeline grinned, “Of course, beautiful ladies have similar charms.”
Stephanie’s eyes curved with a smile, realizing there was indeed a slight resemblance.
Standing on the other side of Madeline, Megan felt a wave of apprehension and nervousness upon hearing their conversation.
If Madeline suspected anything between Madeline and Stephanie, she might even go as far as to do a paternity test, and that would be the end of
everything.
Madeline looked over and noticed Megan’s pale face, “Meg, are you okay?”
Struggling to put on a smile, Megan replied, “Maybe it’s just the hot weather.”
It was early August, commonly known as the “Indian summer” in this season-cool in the early morning and late evening, but scorching hot at noon.
Madeline asked with concern, “Why don’t you go rest under the shade of the umbrella? You don’t have any scenes today, so you can go home early!”
Stephanie gently placed her fingertips on Megan’s pulse, “You’re overthinking. Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?”
Megan was taken aback. She didn’t expect Stephanie to hit the nail on the head. She nodded, “Yes, actually. I’ve been rehearsing lines at night and immersing myself in the characters” emotions,”
Stephanie smiled faintly, “Then you should rest well. Otherwise, it might affect your performance on set.”
Curious, Megan asked, “You know some medical skills as well?”
Stephanie didn’t deny it. “Just a little.”
Megan was surprised by Stephanie’s wide range of knowledge, even possessing medical skills.
No wonder Florence lost so miserably. It was not only her own shortcomings but also the formidable strength of her opponent.
Megan gave a sincere smile. “Stephie, you are truly outstanding, knowledgeable in so many areas.”

Stephanie smiled in response.
“Everyone, look towards the front!” shouted the photographers and cameramen, “Shout ‘Dark War’ will be a huge success!”
The crowd echoed the phrase, capturing brilliant smiles in the photos.

Later, the director instructed the assistant to post the stunning photos of Madeline wearing the dress from the movie, crediting Stephanie from Starlight Design Studio for the design.
Once this news spread, positive reviews flooded in.

Gideon couldn’t close his mouth from smiling. “That’s fantastic! I’ll send you a script later for you to review.”

Chapter 114
At this moment, Florence was hiding in a rented apartment, looking at the comments from netizens, and she was absolutely furious.
She hadn’t done anything, yet she was being dragged out for public scrutiny. She was on the brink of exploding with anger.
She wanted to throw away her phone in frustration, but then she remembered that the 40,000 dollars that Megan had given her wasn’t enough for anything. So, she could only stomp her feet in frustration.
She messaged Megan, “When are you going to take action against that **h?”
After sending the message, there was no response for a long time.
Something felt off to Florence. She tried calling Megan, only to realize that she had been blacked,
“D a m n it! They just want to get rid of me, without even considering giving me a chance for a heart transplant! If I don’t live well, neither will you!”
The opening ceremony was held in the morning, and in the afternoon, the film crew went into the intense shooting phase.
Stephanie assisted Megan and other actresses with their fittings, making on-the-spot alterations for any ill-fitting outfits. The efficiency was high, and it didn’t disrupt the shooting schedule.
Because there was a night scene to shoot, Stephanie stayed until the very end.
By the time they finished, it was almost 10 PM.
Madeline took off her makeup. “Stephie, Meg and I will give you a ride later.”
Stephanie shook her phone, “Vincent is coming to pick me up. You two be safe on your way back.”
Madeline and Megan agreed.
Stephanie rushed out of the filming area towards the black Maybach parked by the roadside.
Zane opened the car door, and Stephanie hopped right in.
A deep voice came from the man in the back seat. “Stephie, are you planning to make it up to me tonight?”
