Chapter 19 Theres Nothing Left Chapter 19 Theres Nothing Left Menu Marlee tightly held onto Keiras arm and burst into tears , Keira , what have I done wrong to you ? Why do you treat me like this ? Why do you target me ? You liked Andres , and it never crossed my mind to compete with you for his affection . Even though weve been friends since childhood , Im well aware that Andres has you in his heart . Ive always left it to him to explain things to you . Theres absolutely nothing between us . So why wont you believe me ? What benefits do you have by targeting me ? Havent Andres and I done enough to clarify our relationship ? have to Perhaps you simply dislike me and want me gone , want me to keep my distance from Andres . If thats the case , just come out and say it . Ill naturally go far away . But why on earth do you y with my career like this ? Marlee acted as if she had suffered many grievances . Her hair was in disarray , and several strands clung to her tear stained face , making her seem all the more captivating and pitiable . Andres was feeling sorry for Marlee , and he tenderly supported her . Keira disgustingly shook off Marlees hand and raised her hand to touch her neck . Her skin was fair , and the red marks from being pinched were exceptionally noticeable . Andres , however , showed no sympathy towards Keira and only felt that she deserved it when he saw her in pain , gasping for breath . After all , compared to the grievances Marlee suffered , Keiras minor injuries were not worth mentioning . Keira , what do you want exactly ? Andres exclaimed angrily , gritting his teeth . Marlees eyes were bloodshot , and tears kept streaming down her face . She held onto Andres tightly , as if grasping a lifesaving straw . Why ? Keira , why did you treat me like this ? The more Andres felt sorry for her , the more he resented Keira . He was annoyed and grabbed Keira by the neck to make her admit her mistake . Keira laughed and slapped directly , saying, You insane bastards ! Andres was momentarily stunned by the slap , while Marlee let out a scream of fright and tearfully asked Andres how he was . Keira ignored them . She bent her slightly stiff knees and slowly squatted down . She picked up each scattered bead one by one , each lotus pattern on them was different . Some patterns were crooked and twisted , while others were much smoother , showcasing the sculptors gradually proficient skills . There was a scratch on her left index finger , which had never faded away even after years . Perhaps from the very beginning , their fate had already been determined . She would be scarred and they would be away from each other in the enda Andres watched her movements , feeling somehow annoyed in his heart . 15.3 % Menu 11 tugged at his tie , his frown deepening . Do you still have the mood to care about those damn heads now ? He kicked away the bead that Keira was about to pick up next . The bead hit the wall , bounced , and then fell to the ground . It bounced up and down several times , hitting Keiras head hard . She clenched the three beads in her hand . Keira thought , Its fine . Theres nothing left . I have nothing to think about . Andres saw her motionless , and his anger continued to rise in his heart . He reached out and wanted to pull her up . Before he could touch Keira , his wrist was grabbed by someone and then forcefully shaken off . Schultz , why is the male actor in your crew so violent ? The mans voice sounded full of mockery . Keira felt that the voice was somewhat familiar , so she looked up . It was Jordon , who had already reached out his hand towards her , ready to help her up . He wore his usual suit , but he looked indifferent , not as gentle as usual . Miss , are you okay ? he politely asked . Jordon asked this way , secretly feeling fortunate that Kamden had foresight . If he had come later , Ms. Hardin would have probably been bullied . Supported by him , Keira gradually rose to her feet . The dizziness that came from squatting for an extended period slowly dissipated . Thank you . Her voice was not loud , but polite . She supposed Kamden had specifically instructed Jordon not to reveal her identity in public . She looked up , and it was only then that Jordon noticed the red mark on her neck , causing him to furrow his brows suddenly . He came late ! Mr. Finley , you seem a bit different from the rumors , Jordon said with a faint smile , but there was a hint of strangeness in his words . There were rumors that Andres looked aloof but was warm hearted . It was said that he was actually a real gentleman who highly respected women . Markus sensed that something was wrong . Andres , what misunderstanding is there between you ? Keira , what happened to your neck ? Andres did not know Jordon , and Jordons blunt mockery made his face even gloomier . But he was very clever and noticed that Markus was being very polite to him . With everyone -present , he couldnt afford to lose his temper . Theres no misunderstanding , just resolving some personal matters . The implicit meaning was that you all should not meddle in our personal matters . And Jordon had even no qualification to inquire . 15.3 % Chapter 19 Theres Nothing Left Andres gaze fell on him , his eyes cold . Menu However , Jordon was not affected at all and took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Keira . Keira raised her pale hand and gently took it . She just looked bit bewildered , #1 She wondered , Is Kamden here too ? not knowing why Jordon appeared here . Jordon then smiled indifferently and said , Mr. Schultz , Mr. Vaughan has already mentioned that as long as there are no issues with the crew , we can discuss the investment matters . Im curious , is Mr. Finley also a part of the crew ? Markus was momentarily unsure of his meaning . Andres is recommended by Mr. Watkins , and we had an audition . I can tell you that Andres is the best candidate . And who is this ? Jordon looked at Marlee , who was still being held by Andres and sobbing softly . Jordons eyes flashed with a hint of confusion , thinking , This man doesnt look handsome , inferior to Mr. He doesnt enjoy a status as noble as Mr. Vaughan , and he is even fickle . Why did Ms. Hardin fall for her ? If Mr. Vaughan and Ms. Hardin arent relatives , they will be a perfect match with their looks . Markus looked at Marlees pitiful appearance , with a slight frown , and said , She isnt . After saying this , he suddenly sensed that something was wrong . Marlee was recommended by Andres , and Keira was the assistant director involved in casting Markus thought , Is Andres thinking that Keira did anything to make Marlee fail the audition ? But once the casting is done , it has nothing to do with Keira at all ! Markus has always been straightforward and outspoken . Andres , its fine that you recommendetl someone for the audition . However , that doesnt imply that she will be selected . Whether youre interrogating Keira or attempting to utilize your connections , the already determined roles are not going to change . His displeased gaze fell on Marlee , who seemed frightened and tightened her grip on Andres arm . Andres raised his hand and patted Marlees back , comforting her silently . He glanced at Keira and saw her expressionless gaze sweep over them before she averted her yes . Andres was annoyed by her indifferent movement . He looked at Markus again , unable to understand how Markus , who had always been fair and would never bow down to capital , could be persuaded by Keira . Immediately , Andres felt it was impossible for Keira to persuade Markus , and believed that Keira had asked Everett for help . With this thought in mind , his tone immediately turned icy as he said , Keira , you took so much effort to drive Marlee away , believing that you could thereby get what you wanted , didnt you ? I had warned you that if you wanted to come back , you needed to prove it . Let me tell you , dont bring Marlee back , I wont continue with this play . You can just keep daydreaming here on your own . if you 15.3 % Chapter 19 Theres Nothing Left soon as he finished speaking , Marlee exclaimed, Andres , you dont have to give it up for me . s not your fault . She spoke and her eyes turned red again . Markus gaze slightly changed , pursing his lips and remaining silent . No one knew what he was thinking . Keira looked at him , her eyebrows slightly furrowed . She understood every word Andres said , but when they were put together , she didnt know what he was talking about .

His gaze fell on Keira and he said , Answer now , will you still target Marlee ?
