Brandon raised an eyebrow.
“She missed rehearsals,” Vivian went on. “People said she was acting like a diva. But then Charles submitted a medical report—said she’d been in an accident ten days ago, so she couldn’t make it.” Vivian leaned in slightly, her voice lowered, but her smile wide. “I didn’t think much of it—until I heard something more private.”
She paused. “The accident involved a miscarriage.”
A sense of mystery hung over the situation.
Only a handful of people knew the truth, and Vivian had been forced to rely on Brandon’s influence just to dig up the details. Within the company, the matter was locked down as highly confidential.
Most employees had simply heard that Serena’s injuries were serious enough to keep her bedridden.
Charles had been the one to champion Serena’s rise. Even though he was just the third son of the Evans family, the Evans family’s reach and power were legendary. He held the reins as CEO of Evans Entertainment, a major branch of the Evans Group and one of Crobert’s top three entertainment empires.
Rumors circled about his personal life. He had never married or publicly dated anyone. Whenever he lavished attention on a woman, most assumed she was someone special, maybe even a secret lover.
Brandon listened to Vivian’s theory without showing any opinion.
He normally paid little attention to other people’s affairs, yet something about the shadowy figure beside Charles he glimpsed earlier managed to stir his curiosity.
Still, he convinced himself it meant nothing.
Meanwhile, the dressing room backstage buzzed with activity as Millie finalized last-minute details with the staff.
With so much happening behind the scenes, Charles had been pulled away to handle urgent matters. He might be the company’s CEO, but he couldn’t stay glued to Millie all night. To help out, he had assigned her an assistant.
Barbara Myers, all sharp eyes behind thick glasses and a practical air beneath her cuteness, was a whirlwind of efficiency as she helped Millie prepare. A flurry of notes filled her clipboard as she murmured, “Stage is set. Lineup confirmed. Serena, you’re third to go on stage.”

A slight nod from Millie acknowledged the update.
Unexpectedly, she felt the weight of someone’s gaze.
Lifting her eyes, she spotted Vivian at the far end of the room.
Vivian offered a polite smile and a small nod.
With a blank look, Millie simply regarded her, refusing to engage further.
Barbara leaned in and whispered, “Mr. Evans asked me to pass on a warning. Vivian has a powerful, secretive team backing her—not the Watsons. Every move she makes, every word she says, is planned out by her people. Best to steer clear of her unless there’s no choice.”
Which, in other words, meant that if confrontation was unavoidable, Millie would have to be ready.
Turning away, Millie gave a silent nod, showing she understood.
Vivian looked away too, but the moment her eyes shifted, the smile slipped right off her face. Such boldness for someone who was supposedly nothing more than a man’s secret lover!
Yet beneath Vivian’s gentle expression, a calculating glimmer flashed. Even if Serena’s position was merely that of a kept woman, Vivian saw potential for her own advantage.
