My Three Darlings

Chapter 29

Jay said unhappily, “When Madeleine started her career in the entertainment circle, you promised to help her if she ever wants to become an actress.” “Are you going back on your words only after one year?” Eliza sneered. “If I remember correctly, you had also promised to marry me, that you’d spend the rest of your life with me.”

If Jay could break his promise that easily, then why couldn’t she do the same to him?

However, Jay interpreted her words to a different meaning.

Jay smiled smugly and looked and Eliza with sympathy, “Eliza, I’ve made it very clear with you. I will never marry a promiscuous woman who likes f*cking around with other men. Even worse, you gave birth to his child.”

“I understand that you still love me, but still, my heart belongs to Madeleine now. Let’s stay as friends instead.”

Eliza froze.

After a long while, she finally understood what he was implying.

That idiot thought that she was still in love with him!

Did Jay really think that Eliza was still begging to get back with him? What a joke!

“Besides, you’re already a married woman. Let’s get this straight. You’re the one who betrayed me first, so you can’t use this against me. You shouldn’t vent your anger at Madeleine by refusing to help her.”

No words could explain Eliza’s emotions at the moment.

She snorted and shoved the script at Jay. “Take your script and get out!” How stupid could she be? She couldn’t believe that she used to be so infatuated with him!

“Eliza!”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jay gritted his teeth and rushed towards her. “I will pay you!”

“Even though you hate me now, you can still do it for the money, right?”

Money?

Eliza stopped in her tracks and pondered his words.

She took a deep breath, turned around, and smiled. “Speaking of money…” “Five years ago, you promised to pay me back two times the money I earned from my surrogacy.”

“Mr. Carr, when are you going to pay me 1 million dollars?” “20 thousand dollars, then I’ll think about being Madeleine’s c ach. What do you say?”

“I’ll think about helping her if you have 1.2 million right now.”

Jay’s face dropped.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Eliza, “That is just ridiculous!”

“You don’t want to?”

Eliza lifted her hair and grinned, “Well, I guess you’ll have to ask someone else for the task.”

Jay said unhappily, “When Madeleine started her career in the entertainment circle, you promised to help her if she ever wants to become an actress.”

“Are you going back on your words only after one year?”

Eliza sneered. “If I remember correctly, you had also promised to marry me, that you’d spend the rest of your life with me.”

“Five years ago, you promised to pay me back two times the money I earned from my surrogacy.”

“Mr. Carr, when are you going to pay me 1 million dollars?”

“20 thousand dollars, then I’ll think about being Madeleine’s coach. What do you say?”

“I’ll think about helping her if you have 1.2 million right now.”

Jay’s face dropped.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Eliza, “That is just ridiculous!”

“You don’t want to?”

Eliza lifted her hair and grinned, “Well, I guess you’ll have to ask someone else for the task.“ After that, she walked away proudly.

Jay stood there, staring at her back.

He was at a loss.

In the evening, someone stopped her when she was prepared to leave Parson Media.

The man caught up to her while panting, “The director wants to film another scene. Since Roseane has already left, he wants you to do it instead.”

Eliza frowned. Before she could say anything, the man added, “You will be paid extra for working overtime.”

“Okay then!”

Eliza regretted her decision the moment she arrived at the set.

This scene involved only Roseane and Jay.

Night fell.

Aside from the director and two of the staff members, Jay stood there, with Madeleine having a drink not far away. “Go and get changed now!”

The director urged.

Eliza sighed.

Although she felt reluctant to work with them, she had no choice but to fulfill her duties as a stuntwoman.

As soon as she took off her shirt, someone entered the locker room.

Instinctively, Eliza covered her chest.

“What’s the point of covering yourself? You’re not even that sexy.” Madeleine crossed her arms around her chest as she swept her gaze around Eliza’s bandaged wound. “Oh no! You haven’t recovered from your injuries from last time!”

That day, Madeleine replaced the props with real weapons on purpose, which resulted in the accident.

Eliza frowned and turned around with her back facing Madeleine. While changing, she asked, “Why are you here? Don’t tell me you’re actually guilty and worried about my injury.”

“Of course not.”

Madeleine crossed her arms around her chest and sneered, “Eliza, you’d better watch your mouth.”

“What you said today has already damaged my reputation.”

Eliza smiled.

While buttoning her clothes, she snickered, “I can’t seem to remember what I said today.”

“Oh right, is it about the fact that you’re a homewrecker?”

After that, she turned to look at Madeleine’s flustered expression. “I’m just telling the truth though.”

“I’m warning you, you should keep your mouth shut. I will make your life miserable if you keep tarnishing my name.”

Madeleine said sarcastically, “I wonder what will happen to you if Mr. Valentine is aware of your dark past?”

“Will he dislike you, or worse, abandon you for it?”

Eliza froze. When she decided to marry Beau, she thought that he was as described in the rumors, that he was an ugly monster both inside and out.

That was why she wasn’t worried about tarnishing his reputation since it was rotten, to begin with.

However, she discovered that Mr. Valentine was nothing like the rumors described. He was a man with extraordinary qualities. Not only was he a young and handsome man, but he was also a responsible father who was still mourning her ex-girlfriend’s death.

Compared to him, Eliza was just a dumb and naive woman who gave her everything to someone as trashy as Jay.

If Beau found out about her past…

Eliza gritted her teeth. The consequences were too grave for her to even digest it.

Madeleine smiled smugly when she noticed Eliza’s reaction.

“Looks like someone is afraid. Know your place, you b*tch!”

She left proudly after leaving that remark.

In the pitch-black dressing room, Eliza stared into space, drowning in her thoughts.

When the staff knocked on the door to hustle her, only then did she come back to her senses and ran outside.

The scene they were filming was about the male lead having an argument and was currently at loggerheads with the female lead.

Eliza looked at Jay with her back facing the camera. Even though Jay was standing right in front of her, all she could think about was Beau’s handsome face. Jay sneered as he raised his hand to grab Eliza’s left shoulder.

He landed his grip squarely on Eliza’s wound.

A painful sensation struck her shoulder and her complexion turned pale. Eliza lost her balance and fell forward. Like a hero saving a damsel in distress, Jay extended his arms and received her gracefully. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Falling into his arms, Eliza turned pale when she felt his unfamiliar presence.

Disgust engulfed her whole as her stomach churned uncomfortably.

Quickly, she tried to push him away but Jay tightened his grip. He wouldn’t let go! No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free!

Until –

“Slap!”

Madeleine stormed over and slapped Eliza as hard as she could. “You sl*t! How dare you seduce my boyfriend?” D

Shocked, Jay loosened his grip almost instantly.

The impact of the slap left her staggering backward and she knocked against the camera equipment from behind.

The pain was so excruciating that she couldn’t help but bent down. Covering her head, she couldn’t stand up properly for a while.

While her head was buzzing in pain, Madeleine’s angry voice echoed in the air as Jay tried his best to

comfort her. Finally, one of the staff helped her to the resting lounge backstage. Eliza recovered from the pain after laying on the makeup table for a long while.

When she looked up, her surroundings were pitch black.

She turned on the flashlight and went out, only to find the door locked.

Looking out of the window, everything was silent and dark.

It seemed like she was locked inside the lounge.
