    Josie!” Ashley was about to say something else, but Josie nodded politely at Hazel and turned to leave.


    Ashley then turned to Hazel and said, “Ms. Locke, look at her. She’s so arrogant.”


    “The eldest daughter of the Gibson family indeed has the right to be arrogant,” Hazel replied


    meaningfully and left with Ashley.


    Josie was in a low mood as she sat alone in a corner of the studio.


    Jo, are you unhappy?” Samuel walked up to Josie, knowing that she had seen Hazel.


    That meant she already knew that Hazel was Henry’s biological mother.


    Tm thinking about what kind of mother can leave her son just like that. Josie’s voice was hoarse.


    “Well, not every parent deserves a child, and Henry’s parents are such an example.” Samuel frowned.


    He knew Hazel had gone to look for Henry after he had graduated from high school


    That was also the year when Josie’s parents passed away.


    “He had been dumped at the orphanage when he was just five. It’s normal that he won’t love others.”


    Josie wasn’t making excuses for Henry. It was just that she no longer hated him as much


    Back then, she loathed Henry when she had an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage.


    Jo.. Samuel’s palms were sweating.


    He was worried Josie would choose Henry again, even though he had long expected that.


    “Samuel, I don’t hate him anymore. Instead, I feel sorry for him.” Josic took a sip of mineral water and


    tiredly settled her forehead on Samuel’s shoulder. “Let me lean on you for a while.”


    “If she no longer loves Henry, she wouldn’t hate him,” Samuel mused, saying nothing. Suddenly, the


    assistant rushed in. He shook his head at the assistant, signaling her not to disturb him and Josie.


    The assistant looked at Josie meaningfully and left.


    Outside the studio, Ashley had already changed into sportswear to work on the field. She was reluctant


    to shoot the scene, though. She suddenly spoke. “You’re Samuel’s assistant, aren’t you? What’s your


    name?” Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    The assistant was momentarily stunned when she saw Ashley. She smiled at Ashley and said, “Yes. I


    am Natalie.”


    “Do you like Mr. Turner!” Ashley asked tentatively.


    Natalie Stanley adjusted her sses and nodded casually. “Of course.”


    She thought every assistant should like their bosses.


    “Didn’t you ever want to be with him? You see, that Josie is an annoying eyesore.” Ashley smiled


    faintly.


    She could see the desire in Natalie’s eyes, which was very simr to hers.


    Both of them were unwilling to ept everything in front of them and strove to get more.

    the face of Ashley’s provocation.


    To Natalie, Ashley’s dirty work was way too obvious.


    “ce? Who doesn’t want to go from rags to riches? We shouldn’t die without any notable


    aplishments. I can help you.” Ashley smiled and gave Natalie her phone number. “If you need any


    help, please feel free to contact me”


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and wondered if Ashley had gotten her wrong


    Natalie then threw the phone number into the trash can and found a ce to ck off.


    Since Mr. Turner only focuses on dating someone and not working, an assistant like me should follow


    suit,” she thought.


    Josie, can you help me to check whether there’s any white cast on my neck? I can’t believe the film


    crew would ask us to work on the field,” Sebastian couldn’t helpining. However, a good actor


    was different from a superstar. He had to experience the hardships of people in that era to prepare


    himself for shooting.


    Josie was worried and reminded Sebastian again, “Be careful, and don’t hurt yourself. Do you hear


    me?”


    After taking care of Sebastian, Josie still needed to check on Reba, who would be her artist


    soon. “Have you finished applying sunscreen?”


    Reba pointed to her face. “I’m born with good skin and won’t tan.


    Josie rolled her eyes. “Show-off


    “We shall see then. I’ll definitely be the female lead.” Reba was full of vigor. After washing her


    hands with water from the tap, she sshed water on Josie.


    Jesie dodged with a smile and subconsciously went to hide behind Samuel.


    Perhaps Samuel gave Josie an inexplicable sense of security.


    “How lovey-dovey,” Reba smiled and went to work on the fields with Sebastian.


    Josie smiled heartily.


    Only by being with them could she enjoy short happiness with a free mind.


    Samuel felt jealous and snorted, “Reba can always bring a smile to your face.”


    His reaction amused Josie. “Are you jealous of a woman now?”


    “The revolution hasn’t seeded yet, and I’m still working hard. Both men and women are my


    enemies. Samuel stared at Josie resentfully.


    “Mr. Turner, Mr. Yancey has something to discuss with you.” Natalie was very reluctant to disturb her


    boss.


    “Wait for me. I’ll take you down the mountain to have fish and chips tonight: Samuel smiled at Josie


    and ruffled her hair dotingly before leaving with Natalie.


    “Mr. Turner, Ms. Long just talked to me and tried to sow discord between Ms. Yates and me. I think you


    need to pay attention to this matter. Natalie was indeed apetent assistant.


    And Samuel trusted Natalie.


    Samuel nced at Natalie with a spur face and said, I have yet to find her, but she has already been


    harassing my people

    repeatedly.”


    “A Pond of Reeds” told the story of several women who fled from a pond of reeds to the mountains


    when their husbands joined the army. They took care of the whole family and formed a special team to


    deliver supplies to the front line.


    It was a period piece film in which working women were strong andpetent enough to support their


    families.


    Ashley wanted to be in such kind of movie, win an award, and change how she was perceived.


    After all, what she needed was not money but a ster reputation.


    Once she gained such a reputation, she would be worthy of marrying Henry.


    “Gosh! What are you doing? You’ve sshed mud on my body!” A woman like Ashley would never


    ept arduousbor.


    “Are you an idiot? We’re working on the field. How could you expect not to get dirty?” Reba was


    pissed off by Ashley’s tone, thinking that a wealthydy like Ashley should get lost if she couldn’t act.


    “The female lead ispetent and proficient in farming. Do you know how to differentiate between


    crops and weeds?” Reba joked and deliberately sshed muddy water on Ashley.


    “Don’t go too far, Reba!” Ashley’s face turned pale with anger. She raised her hand, wanting to p


    Reba.


    Sebastian, who was also working on the field, quickly pulled Reba behind him and frowned at


    Ashley. “Ms. Long, there’s a scene where farmers y and joke around. Have you not read the script?”


    Ashley gritted her teeth. She knew she was wrong in the first ce.


    Reba smiled and looked at the young man in front of her. “I never realized you’re a quite charming


    man, Sebbie.”


    Sebastian ignored Reba and continued working on the field.


    He simply didn’t like Ashley.


    “Ashley,e and have a rest. Henry just called. Under the parasol, Hazel prepared a bottle of mineral


    water for Ashley.


    Ashley’s expression instantly changed as she ran over with a smile. “Ms. Locke, did Henry call?”


    “Why do you still call me Ms. Locke? Call me Hazel now and change it after you join our family.” Hazel


    smiled dotingly. It was apparent that she was good at acting.


    Sitting on the side, Josie looked at the missed calls from Henry and felt helpless.


    She thought. “Henry should have no time to call Hazel. Why is she pretending to be a benevolent


    mother in front of me?”
