Chapter 32
The wholetwins thing, if it got out now, could totally mess up Winona’s future. Nolan was fearless, for real.
Winona was scared of making Nolan madder, so she kept her mouth shut. She tugged on Keith’s sleeve and whispered, looking allpitiful, “Keith…”
Keith gave Winona a chill “relax” signal and shot Nolan a cold. “Nolan, you done causing trouble?”
Nolan wasn’t fazed; he puffed out his chest and hummed, “Get Quiana back on set, and I’ll zip it.” His words were a threat. plain and simple.
Keith replied. “As an investor. I got the right to cut her. Nolan, stop messing with us!”
“Brothers at each other’s throats over you.” Alina, who was about to bail, decided to stick around. She clicked her tongue, watching Quiana chill on her phone. “You’re quite the spellbinder.”
Quiana raised an eyebrow, all serious. “Spellbinders mess with the world. I ain’t got time for that,”
Alina was speechless.
“Quiana.” Winona walked over, clutching her dress, biting her lip as she looked at Quiana. “If you wanna act, I’ll ask Mr. Hawley to let you-
“Mr. Carter! Mr. Carter!” someone called out.
John was stressing about the show when his assistant rushed over, freaking out.
John frowned, “What’s the panic?”
The director’s assistant looked stressed, “I just heard; all the investors bailed, except Mr. Hawley!”
“What?” John’s face changed.
Even though the show had gotten simple costumes and a straightforward story, it needed big bucks. Keith could drop Quiana because he was the main investor and a Hawley.
But there were other investors, even Evelyn put in a chunk. Now, with them pulling out, the show was pretty much doomed.
The director’s assistant glanced around and said, “They said it’s because of Winona…”
John frowned. “You sure they didn’t say it’s because of Quiana?”
The assistant shook their head. “It’s Winona. Check it out if you don’t believe me!”
Everyone was shocked. If Quiana acted, Keith pull his cash. But if Winona acted, all other investors bailed, except Keith
Winona was stunned, stepping back. “How could this happen…
“Why not?” Quiana put away her phone, hands in her pockets, half–saniling at her.
“Mr. Hawley…” Winona looked at Keith, all worried. If what the assistant said was true, then she was over.
Keith’s gaze was dark. Let’s see who dares!”
Quiana lazily raised her lids and smiled, “What? Mr. Hawley, you can do it, but not others?”

In Janivielle, no one could miss Julius’s strikingly handsome face, often called devilishly charming, especially with rumors saying meeting him could change your fate. His showing up was a total shock.
Julius’s skin was ghostly pale, with a captivating tear mole. Gloom surrounded him, and his short, messy hair looked soft in the sun. He sat lazily in a wheelchair, mixing nobility with an otherworldly charm.
Despite being frail and challenged, with many whispering about his end, his presence ruled the room. Just sitting there, he made everyone hold their breath.
Nolan was visibly shocked but quickly got obedient. “Uncle Julius.”
“Hmm.” Julius nodded slightly, his eyes glanced over Quiana as the wheelchair stopped beside her. His gaze fixed on Keith. his voice faint yet commanding. “What? Can’t you greet people?” His tone was light, but it carried a weight that was hard to ignore.
Keith’s face turned pale. “Julius.”
Julius squinted slightly, casually saying, “Apologize to Quiana.”
