Chapter 429

Noticing my gaze, Reynaldo coolly glanced at me and sneered, “What, as soon as you see them, your heart starts to flutter and you can’t bear to leave?”

I frowned deeply, truly feeling that this man was born with a good appearance but always spoke in such a harsh manner.

With a determined voice, Winston’s voice suddenly came from behind me, “Ralda, wait for me to make a name for myself with this play, then come back to me. By then, I will have the ability to protect you.”

Reynaldo hesitated for a moment, and I had to stop as well.

I looked at him.

He was seen with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He didn’t look back, but his tone was contemptuous as he smiled and said, “Don’t make promises too early; wait until you have made a name for yourself.”

I furrowed my brows, recalling what Anton had just said, and my heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Could this man really be planning to tamper with the release of this movie?

What about Vonnie?

Vonnie was still hoping to increase her popularity with this play, moving up from beyond the 18th line to within the 18th line.

Reynaldo seemed to be upset; he walked with a stern face all the way to the secluded lounge.

The grassland was already bumpy and not easy to walk on, but he still walked very fast.

I followed behind, walking and running.

After experiencing a recent sprained ankle, I became extra cautious and kept my eyes on the road in front of me.

Suddenly, the man in front abruptly stopped.

I was startled and quickly stopped, almost bumping into him.

He squinted his eyes and stared at me with a dark expression.

I looked at him inexplicably, not knowing where I had offended him again.

He gave me a cold snort and sarcastically said, “I see you walking steadily and quickly; doesn’t seem like someone who would sprain their ankle and fall. Why do you appear so fragile in front of Anton?”

“Esmeralda, it seems that you are not incapable of flirting with men, just pretending to be aloof in front of me.”

I: …

Sometimes I really wanted to open his head and see what he was thinking.

I just accidentally sprained my foot, and he could associate all these things with it.

Wow, he really has quite an imagination!

Suppressing the sarcasm in my heart, I said expressionlessly, “So if it was a woman who helped me up, would you also suspect me of flirting with that woman?”

“The key is…” he leaned forward slightly, sneering at me, “It just so happens that Anton was the one hugging you. How do you explain that?”

Reynaldo approached, and the cold, oppressive air instantly enveloped him.

My heart unconsciously quickened a few beats.

I took two steps back and muttered, “How do I know why it happened so coincidentally?”

“Ah!”

Reynaldo snorted coldly, that look truly mocking to the extreme.

It’s as if I really did fall on purpose, to seduce men.

I avoided eye contact and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to him.

“Ralda!”

Just then, Vonnie suddenly ran towards me excitedly.

Vonnie was still wearing her costume, she was panting and pulling me excitedly, almost in tears: “I finally see you; Mr. Palmer just said you were here; I couldn’t believe it.”

“Oh, Ralda, where have you been all this time? The crew didn’t show up, and I couldn’t reach them by phone. I was so worried.”

“And what about your babies? Are they okay?”
