The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1075

Crysti's face turned pale as a sheet in an instant. She looked at Philip in shock, only to find the other woman smirking at her.

"Sorry, my bad." Philip's voice was full of regret and tenderness, but it only made Crysti feel sick to her stomach.

A baby? Last night?

She swallowed her fear and looked at the other woman, the so-called eye candy in the entertainment industry, Melinda.

With her rich dad's connections, she got into showbiz, and with Infinity Media, any script she liked was hers, no matter how much the writer or director stuck to their principles. It was all because she came with a heap of investment.

She strutted into the set with her money, a move considered shady in the industry, but she did it without a care in the world. She was dubbed a eye candy because she was just that, both in real life and on the screen.

Thanks to Infinity Media's efforts, they managed to convince Melinda to take on this role, always securing her father's investment and never looking back.

It was a win-win situation.

The eye candy roles in the entertainment industry did have their impact. There were controversies in the beginning, but people got used to it. After all, you needed all sorts of characters in a show. The eye candy was indispensable in almost every show.

So, in the end, it didn’t matter. Being an eye candy was just another character setting.

She suddenly understood why Philip had been insisting on starting the shooting. An eye candy with a ton of money wanting to start shooting, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?

The sad part was that she, from the respected Watson family, was the fool here. She thought she had found real love, defied the Reeds, and ran away from home, just to be with this man. And now, this man had just slapped her in the face, hard.

"Ha…"

Crysti suddenly chuckled, then burst into laughter. "Haha…hahaha…"

Her shoulders were shaking violently, she was almost laughing her tears out. Her sudden laughter in the hospital room seemed mad and eerie.

Philip frowned at her, his face turning ugly. "What's so funny?"

"Hahaha…" Crysti was still laughing. After a while, she finally managed to hold back her laughter and said, "Congratulations, Philip. Your movie, that's been two years in the making, finally found its investor. Your looks and body aren't going to waste."

Chloe tugged at the corner of her mouth in the bathroom, didn't expect this woman to have some fight in her. She kept arranging the flowers in the vase, listening to the commotion outside.

Philip clearly caught her sarcasm, and his face turned serious. Was she suggesting that he had sold his body and relied on pleasing women to achieve his goals?

"Crysti! Have you gone mad?" He couldn't believe it. The woman who used to be so obedient was now mocking him.

Crysti smiled lightly, "I'm not mad. I'm just blind. For the past two years, I've been blindly trusting you, a person who only knows how to hurt others."

"You…"

Philip couldn't stand her insult. He wanted to retort, but he held back.

He knew the new show was about to start, and Crysti's role was crucial. She was the only one who could play the role. If he pissed her off, she would not only quit but would also find someone else to replace her, which would cost him millions of dollars in pay.

Melinda turned red, "Bitch! Try me, and I'll make sure you're kicked out of the industry!"

"I doubt you have the power to." Her voice was calm, her expression cool, without a trace of sadness or sorrow.

Philip quietly looked at her; he once thought she had a unique charm. She was like a well-bred lady, every move pleasing to the eye. It was just that later, when she was with him, she was so obedient, enduring all hardships, that he overlooked it. But that initial charm had left a deep impression on him, so the character in the show was designed based on her.

It had been a long time since he saw her. He had completely ignored her before, so now when she stopped being submissive, he was a little taken aback.

"I don't have the power? Hmph, I'd like to see if you can get any good scripts in the future? You should think about how you will feed yourself! Don't starve to death!"

Melinda was really pissed off by Crysti's words, especially the charm she suddenly exuded, which she found annoying.

She was just a low-level actress, why was she imitating others' princess-like charm? Disgusting!

Melinda clung to Philip's arm, trying to pull him out of the room, but Philip kept staring at Crysti, his face showing hesitation.

He finally stopped, looked deeply at Crysti, and said, "You're all fired up right now, and it's probably not the best time to be making decisions. Your role is crucial, you know. I've always valued this play a lot, and it's gonna boost your rep in showbiz too... so, cool your jets, will ya?"

"Philip!" Melinda stomped her foot, fuming.

"Alright, alright, let's leave."

Philip quickly wrapped his arm around Melinda, soothing her as they made their way out of the hospital room.
