Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Lucia stared at Starry's car disappearing from her sight, her face looked pained.

With the help of the nightfall, no one could see her face clearly except Sophie.

Sophie was also angry at first. But Starry's words did scare her. Now it was of no use to be angry.

"Just calm down, Lulu. We can give her a lesson later."

An idea really emerged in Lucia's mind.

She nodded and started her car.

Sophie then remained silent as she thought Lucia was still in a bad mood.

What happened between Starry and Lucia was soon made known to Frances.

It was Martha who told her that. While listening, Frances frowned and said with hatred in her tone, "How did Lucia Scott's father educate her daughter? What a shameless bastard!"

These words had shown clearly that Frances didn't want Filip to get involved with Lucia anymore.

Martha was doing some foot massage for her while saying, "I remember Lucia's father brought back a girl a few years ago.

Martha had been a long-time servant of Frances. So, she naturally knew it was a delicate hint.

Frances snorted instantly, "Now I know why Lucia loves to play dirty. That might be a tradition in her family."

Filip came downstairs while they were talking.

Filip didn't like to spend his night at the Pearson residence. After he got married to Starry, seldom did he come back. Now as they had got divorced, Filip hadn't been to this house for more than two months. Now it was already late so Filip might spend a night at the Pearson residence and he might even have breakfast with Frances tomorrow morning. Filip must still be caring about his grandma.

With that idea in mind, Martha felt quite happy for Frances, "Old lady, the young master is back."

Frances turned an eye upon Filip, "I remember you said you're busy with your work."

She didn't sound happy, but a faint sense of joy could be seen from her face.

Martha helped Frances dry her feet and then held the bucket towards the bathroom to leave the room for Frances and her grandson.

"Today is your birthday. I should spend some time with you no matter how busy I am."

Filip said gallantly and then sat beside his grandma.

Frances had a sip of coffee and asked, "I heard Starry's car crashed into Lucia's car?"

A sudden flicker of concern came into Filip's eyes, "It's just an accident."

Frances sneered, "But her car crashed into Lucia's car twice."

She halted for a second and continued before Filip could explain, "Starry didn't ask me to investigate on the gown issue. But she is no fool. It isn't the first time for Ms. Scott to play dirty on Starry, am I wrong?" "I don't care about your relationship with Starry. But I don't like that Lucia to be either your friend or your lover. The choice is on you."

Then she put down the coffee cup in her hand and stood up. Then she went upstairs.

Filip walked over to her and said, "Let me help you get upstairs, grandma."

Frances looked at her grandson and didn't refuse his kindness.

The two didn't say anything along the way until they arrived at Frances' room. Filip let her hand go and said, "Sweet dream, grandma."

"It's quite late now. You'd better rest earlier, Filip."

She wasn't content with Filip's divorce with Starry. But he was her grandson after all. She loved him so much.

France waved her hand at him and suddenly something occurred to her, "By the way, Starry had been my granddaughter-in-law for five years. Though you have got divorced with her, I don't want her to be bullied. You should take care of her. Don't let her get bullied anymore, boy."

After those words, Frances closed the door directly.

Filip was standing before her room, his face quite pale.

Starry was such an able woman. Now his grandma was standing on her side again just after the birthday party.

But it was she who suggested the divorce. Did she think her ex-husband would bug her for a remarriage?

Ridiculous.

Starry didn't know what impression she had left on Frances. Filip now really thought she was still loving him.

Filip had become more and more a stranger in her eyes since their divorce.

Now she didn't care how Filip thought of her anymore.

After the farce, Starry finally got back to her villa at almost ten p.m.

The farce had been recorded by someone and now the video had gone viral online. Some were speaking up for Starry and some took Lucia's side.

Izabella sent the video to Starry with her comment "Good job".

Starry smiled and sent a heart back. Then she put down her phone and got into her study.

How Starry's gown got suddenly broken and how she crashed into Lucia's car as revenge on Frances's birthday party had been a popular topic in the circle. But as the two didn't say much about this on social media, others had gradually forgotten about this.

Then she hadn't left her villa for four days until she was invited by Shining Stars Entertainment to attend a casting audition for a role in Only Moon Can Tell.

She didn't do her make up, but she just put on lipstick and took a scarf with her.

After she had just arrived, she was pulled by the staff there to stand with other actresses, "Take off your scarf and mask. And no makeup on face."

Hearing his words, Starry knew he had mistaken her she for a candidate for the role, "Sorry, I..."

Before she could finish, an actress rolled her eyes back at her, "We are all competing for this role here. Obey the rule or get out of here. We are not here for a beauty pageant, dear."

The actress was saying arrogantly with her unfriendly eyes on Starry.

Starry then walked out of the crowd directly while the actress was still shouting from behind, "Does she think she could attract the director's attention by this?"

Another two actress began to laugh beside her.

Just after she got out of the crowd, she ran into Wyatt and other directors.

"Ms. Bradley."

Wyatt saw Starry the moment he stepped into this room. Starry's eyes were very recognizable. Even if her face was hidden behind the mask and scarf, Wyatt could still distinguish her from others through her eyes.

Starry nodded, "Mr. Matthews."

The presence of Wyatt here made Starry a bit surprised. But she didn't like to ask about others' personal affairs so she didn't ask him.

Declan introduced them to Starry and then Starry to those directors. Then they all got to their seats.

The actress who had just criticized Starry saw her on the lead screenwriter's seat and her face turned pale instantly.
