Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?
Chapter 1015

Johnson Estate.

"I had no clue she'd just show up like that."

Francis glanced down at Rebecca White, his brows knitted together with a trace of irritation.

"There's nothing between us anymore. You heard her, she said 'two's company.' She knows we're an item."

An item...? Rebecca White's heart skipped a beat, unsure how to respond.

But Francis had been steadily drawing her in, and to say she didn't care would be a lie.

She hesitated, frowning slightly. "But her moving back in, isn't it because of you?"

"No."

Francis's gaze remained steady as he shook his head.

What they had walked through to get to this point meant going back to how things were was impossible.

"I think she just can't let go."

"Can't let go?" Rebecca White paused, puzzled.

"Yeah." Francis nodded, his expression changing subtly.

What she couldn't let go of was left unsaid.

Caroline had once been the darling of the Johnson brothers, envied by every woman in Sunhaven.

But now, both brothers had drifted away from her. How could she possibly accept that?

"Give me some time."

Francis's brow furrowed slightly. "I'll sort things out with her."

"..." Rebecca White remained silent.

With her current awkward standing, what more could she say?

...

Today, Sherilyn's scenes were light.

She wrapped up before noon and didn't have to be back on set until later in the afternoon.

Near her resting spot was the supporting actress.

The one who had been replaced by Karol before being reinstated. The supporting actress was also taking a break, chatting with her assistant.

Assistant: "I heard some great news today!"

Supporting Actress: "What's the good news?"

"It's about... Karol, the one who stole your role, remember?"

"Her!"

The supporting actress scoffed with disdain, "Of course I remember! I'd forget anyone but her! What about her? Did she steal someone else's opportunity?"

"Not exactly."

The assistant shook her head, grinning maliciously. "She got fired by Nexus Media Group!" "What?"

The supporting actress was

shocked. How come? Wasn't she

being groomed by Nexus Media Group? After Caroline, they've been scouting for someone, and she was quite the contender?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her role to Karol.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely!" The assistant grew anxious. "This isn't just some rumor; I heard it from our own studio!"

"Really?"

The supporting actress's eyes sparkled, excitement bubbling up.

Nodding, she said, "Then it must be true!"

She burst into laughter. "Ha, ha, ha... Fantastic!"

She couldn't help but applaud. "So Nexus Media Group dumped her? Serves her right! She was nothing but trouble!"

"Do you think..." The assistant winked at her, "she crossed someone?"

"There's something fishy here!"

The supporting actress speculated, "She wouldn't have stolen my role without some powerful backing. Hmm..."

"Suddenly getting fired means she

must've relied on unsavory methods before Maybe she got involved with

She influential and gotov

caught?"

"Now, it looks like she's been discarded... Makes sense, right?"

"That's a thought." The assistant nodded, understanding dawning. "Sounds plausible..."

The two whispered and speculated, turning their attention to other matters.

Sherilyn pondered, Karol got fired by Nexus Media Group? Was it Gilbert's doing?

Being so harsh on a woman he'd been involved with...

"Sherilyn, I brought you your coffee," Naomi approached with a cup in hand, "Freshly made, your favorite butter latte."
