Chapter 57: The Reynolds Family’s Daughter–in–Law Bullies People Director Davis called two executive directors, Luna Stone, and her agent. Lily Lane and Sonya waited in the hotel hallway, ready to confront Luna Stone if necessary. Workplace bullying was a delicate issue. Director Davis wouldn’t tolerate it but also had to consider the power dynamics at play.
Before
entering the room, Luna Stone sneered at Sonya and Lily Lane. “What are you daydreaming about? You don’t think I’ll actually be fired, do you? Half my scenes are already filmed; firing me would cost the production a fortune. And you think I got this role without backing? Ha!”
Lily Lane fumed. “You’re bullying people, and you’re proud of it?”
Of course, I’m proud! I’m bullying *you* two!” Luna Stone narrowed her eyes. “If Director Davis finds me at fault, I’ll quit immediately. Then he’ll beg me to come back. But if I continue, I have a condition–delete all of Lily Lane’s scenes.”
“You… you have no right!”
“Because you’re stupid for reporting me. Oh, and you think your friend marrying into the Reynolds family will protect you? Hilarious. Reynolds is powerful, but they might not care about her.”
Luna Stone sneered at Sonya before entering the room.
“Sonya, they won’t really delete my scenes, will they? I need this role to boost my career, and I have debts…”
Sonya held Lily Lane’s hand, urging her to calm down.
“Let’s wait for the outcome.”
They waited until nightfall when the door burst open, and Luna Stone stormed out. She glared at Sonya.“You’re bullying people just because you’re a Reynolds family daughter–in–law! I won’t let this go!”
Luna Stone and her agent left angrily.
Lily Lane blinked.“She didn’t say that earlier.”
The two executive directors emerged, explaining the situation. Luna Stone admitted to bullying Lily Lane but refused to apologize and threatened to quit. Initially, the investors supported Luna Stone, but then Director Davis called Linda.
“Reynolds’s film company added investment, removing several investors. Director Davis now has absolute control and fired Luna Stone.”
Leaving the hotel, Lily Lane, after a moment of stunned silence, hugged Sonya. “You’re my golden thigh now!”
Sonya laughed.“You still have scenes to film and can’t leave yet. Let’s grab some food nearby.”
“Okay, and
stay with me tonight.”
“Alright.”
Lily Lane’s eyes widened.“I’m competing with the Crown Prince for your attention! I’m a terrible

Sonya patted her head. “He’s out of town.”

At dinner, Linda video–called. “Your father wants braised pork knuckle tonight. He’ll go on a hunger strike if he doesn’t get it.”
Sonya took the phone from Linda. Mr. Reynolds glared at Linda, then at Sonya, his face stern.
“What’s your blood pressure today?” Sonya asked.
Mr. Reynolds’s mind filled with images
“Ju–just a little high.”
Linda interjected, “More than a little. He felt dizzy.”
“Let’s check it,” Sonya said.
“No! I’m eating. Why check my blood
“What do you want for dinner?”
“Pork knuckle…”
“It’s noisy here. Say it again?”

pressure?” Mr. Reynolds refused.
“I didn’t say that! I’m not suicidal! Don’t lie!” Mr. Reynolds yelled at Linda.
Sonya stifled a laugh.“I’ll send you a menu. Follow it tonight. We have a checkup scheduled for Monday. Henry will be back from his trip; you’ll have time.”
I’m actually quite healthy,” Mr. Reynolds mumbled.
“If all your checkups are good, I’ll treat you to something delicious.”
“Can I have pork knuckle?”
“Yes.”
Mr. Reynolds was delighted.“Okay, Monday.”
Linda took the phone, smiling.“Only you can control him. Come home for dinner sometime.”
“Okay. Director Davis called you, right?”
“It’s a small matter. Have fun with your friend. My hotel room isn’t checked out yet; you can stay there tonight.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
“Sweetheart, a kiss!”
Sonya quickly hung up.
Lily Lane was shocked.“They say marrying into a rich family is like entering a palace; everyone has hidden agendas. The mother–in–law is the worst; they delight in tormenting their daughters–in–law.”
“I don’t know about other families, but the Reynoldss are kind to me.”
“It mostly depends on your husband’s attitude.”
“What?”

If he values you, his family will too. He must really care about you”
He does. Very much so”
Sonya and Lily Lane were toasting when Henry texted his itinerary for the day, ending with two words:
Miss you.
Sonya sent a selfie and replied: Miss you too.
“So cheesy,” Lily Lane said.
Lily Lane stayed with Sonya in Linda’s suite,
Lily Lane showed Sonya photos of Seraphina and Liam kissing,
“They’re so careless,” Lily Lane said,
Sonya showed little interest.
“They probably couldn’t help themselves, I wonder how Julian Jennings would react if he knew?” “Delete them. It’s pointless,” Sonya said.

“No! I’ll send you a copy. If she bullies you again, use these photos to shut her up.” Sonya laughed.“Let’s live OUT

“Wait. She’ll find trouble even if there’s none,” With Luna Stone gone, a new actress joined, and many scenes needed reshoots. Lily Lane couldn’t finish filming yet, and Sonya stayed to help her.
As Sonya got in a taxi to leave, she received a text from Lily Lane: Go to room 503 immediately; I need to talk to you.
She called Lily Lane; she didn’t answer, but texted back: I’m filming and can’t answer. Go to 503; I’ll find you after filming.
Sonya suspected Lily Lane was in trouble and turned the taxi around.
At the hotel, the receptionist gave her the key to 503. But the receptionists‘ strange looks made her
uneasy.
Entering 503, Sonya saw a messy bed and clothes scattered on the floor. It looked like a man’s
room.
