Chapter 19

Natalie was super unwilling to give up.

It was rare to come across a young, handsome, and wealthy man from a prestigious family.

Sure, she was riding high as the best actress right now, but those glory days don't last forever. In the cutthroat world of showbiz, there's always someone ready to take your spot.

If she didn't snag a good husband while she was still young and gorgeous, no matter how splendid her current situation was, she would end up just as down and out in the future.

So, she had to figure out a way to catch Henry's eye.

Zoey was getting a headache. The crew wouldn't stop yammering in her ear. Did they really think she was the type to lap up all that fake flattery?

Then, a snarky voice cut through the chatter. "Ms. Cavendish, why'd you come back alone? Did you piss off Mr. Windsor and he ditched you?"

The crew stopped their brown-nosing and started grilling her. "Ms. Cavendish, did you really tick off Mr. Windsor?"

Just a moment ago, Henry had left with Zoey in his arms, right in front of everyone.

Zoey didn't even bother to answer, but one of the crew members, sharp-eyed, looked towards the door. "Hey, look, isn't that Mr. Windsor coming back?"

Zoey turned to look with everyone else. The sunlight was streaming in, making Henry look like he was glowing, almost like a god. It left everyone a bit stunned.

For some reason, the word "savior" popped into Zoey's head.

Just like when she was cornered and harassed by the Spencer Family and Alexander, Henry had shown up out of nowhere, like a knight in shining armor.

The bloody showdown she'd expected didn't happen. With Henry's protection, she'd managed to get what she wanted without a hitch.

Thinking about it, Henry seemed a lot more appealing.

"Mr. Windsor, you're back." Natalie greeted him with a flirty smile, but Henry ignored her, as usual.

In front of everyone, Henry stopped next to Zoey and said softly, "Did you misunderstand me? I asked John to look after you, not to chase after another woman."

Zoey was taken aback. Did she really get it wrong?

Henry took a fancy jewelry box from John and opened it himself.

"This is the Heart of the Ocean you like. If I put it on you now, will you stop being mad?"

Zoey was speechless.

The blue diamond sparkled brilliantly. Its purity and clarity were breathtaking. This famous necklace, passed down for centuries, was now right in front of her.

Claire couldn't help but gasp, "Oh my God, Zoey, pinch me. Am I dreaming? I'm actually seeing the Heart of the Ocean, worth over two hundred million dollars."

Even she was in awe, let alone the rest of the crew.

The director glance at Natalie. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have pissed off Aurora. He needed to make things right, or he might lose his job.

"I'll put it on for you."

Seeing Zoey staring, too shocked to speak, Henry smiled gently and put the necklace around her slender, smooth neck.

Zoey touched the necklace dreamily. "It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

"No matter how valuable it is, you deserve to wear it."

Henry's smile was so tender it made Zoey's head spin.

Could he actually like her?

"Now you won't leave the crew, right? But if you do, I won't need to invest in this movie."

Hearing Henry's words, the director's face went pale, and he rushed over, bowing repeatedly to Zoey. "Ms. Cavendish, didn't you say you had high hopes for this movie?"

"And you came back to the country specifically for this movie. Are you really willing to give up?"

Zoey couldn't help but glare at him, but his words did hit home.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, she hesitated a bit.

"I've already contacted a doctor to come and give you an injection. Think about it during this time. If you don't want to stay, don't force yourself."

Henry raised his hand and touched Zoey's burning forehead, his brows slightly furrowed.

The director was on the verge of tears but didn't dare to say another word.

Zoey looked at Henry in surprise. "You called a doctor?"

"Since you won't go to the hospital, I have to accommodate you."

Zoey looked at him speechlessly.

Her head was indeed splitting, so she didn't refuse Henry anymore.

Henry accompanied her to the lounge.

Natalie, seeing this scene from the side, was so jealous that her pretty face twisted.

The director clenched his fists and came to her with a livid face. "Natalie, you lied to me. It turns out Mr. Windsor is pursuing Ms. Cavendish. If you still want to stay in the crew, I suggest you go apologize to Ms. Cavendish."

Throwing out the cold reminder, the director quickly went to find the assistant director to discuss countermeasures.

The crew members were even more unceremonious with their direct mockery.

"I think Ms. Cavendish is right. A fake best actress can't compare to the musical genius Ms. Cavendish, who is valued by Hollywood."

"In terms of beauty, Ms. Cavendish is actually prettier than Natalie and younger too."

"I think Ms. Cavendish is too kind. If I were her, I would have asked Mr. Windsor to fire Natalie immediately."

A group of people sneered.

One moment they were flattering Natalie, and now everyone was against her.

Natalie stood there with an awkward face.

"Miss Davis, the two coffees you ordered have arrived. Should we still send it to Mr. Windsor?"

The assistant approached Natalie cautiously. How could Natalie miss the chance to get close to Henry?

After all, Henry hadn't married Zoey yet.

Moreover, if she didn't find a way to attract Henry, she might really not be able to stay in the crew.

"Have them brought in. I'll personally deliver them to Mr. Windsor."

Entering the lounge, Zoey was about to take off the necklace and return it to Henry when the door was suddenly pushed open. Natalie walked in with two cups of coffee, smiling seductively.

"Mr. Windsor, I said I would treat you to coffee when you arrived. This is coffee I had specially bought from the Grand Hotel, made from Radiantia coffee beans. I'm sure you'll like it."

Claire pursed her lips and whispered in Zoey's ear, "Radiantia coffee beans costing over twenty thousand dollars per pound, she really spared no expense. But she only bought two cups. Do you think Mr. Windsor will drink it?"

Zoey looked at Henry and saw his brows furrowed, knowing he had no interest in it.
