A new message popped up on my screen,
"Didn't I just use a reconciliation coupon? I'm only acting as a mother figure to Leo for one day. How can you be so heartless?"
"If people find out who you are, how will Liam and Leo continue at this school? Can't you the bigger person here?"
"If you hadn't escalated things, none of this would've happened. Just take Chloe home. I'll use two coupons—how's that!"
I smirked and typed back coldly, "Must've missed that clause. But the reconciliation agreement is now void. Final interpretation is mine."
After sending it, I put my phone away. Clearly, I'd been too lenient with this actress. Today, they would learn what consequences meant.
The show's producer, seeing the rising tension, hurried over to defuse the situation and announced that the next activity would be a parent-child drawing session.
As the art supplies were being distributed, Liam brushed past me, his tone dripping with arrogance and provocation.
"Trash like you belongs in the gutter. Only a real man like me deserves a star like Vivian—someone like me. Know your place and get lost!"
I let out a cold laugh. A real man?
I'd done my homework—Liam was nothing more than creative director Vivian had promoted. He barely showed up to work, too busy embezzling company funds.
