Chapter 237 

Thomas, having failed to find Theresa, quickly located Susan and hurried over to her. 

“Sister–in–law.” he greeted her. 

Susan was startled to see him. “Thomas? What are you doing here?” 

Thomas sat down next to her and whispered, “Sister–in–law, Theresa’s with you, right? Where is she?” 

Susan glanced subtly in Theresa’s direction. 

Theresa, with her back to them, seemed engrossed in her script, but her rigid posture betrayed her tension. 

It seemed Thomas was still unaware that Theresa was actually the lead actress, Rose, in their film. 

Susan raised an eyebrow. “Who told you Theresa and I are together? She’s not here.” 

“Don’t lie to me, sister–in–law.” Thomas calmly presented the photo Theresa had taken the previous night, explaining 

how he had used it to locate her. 

Susan was incredulous. “Are you sure you’re a doctor? Ever thought about becoming a detective?” 

‘Just stop hiding things from me,” Thomas insisted. 

Susan gave Thomas a curious look, her expression one of interest. “Can you tell me why you’re so determined to find Theresa? As far as I know, you two don’t exactly get along. But you came all the way here. Could it be… that you like her?” 

“How could that be possible?” Thomas reflexively denied. “She’s so fierce and unreasonable, not at all my type. I prefer someone gentle and innocent like Monica.” 

At this moment. 

Theresa casually walked by them, overhearing his comment. She scoffed quietly and, pretending dropped a heavy prop brick right on Thomas’s foot. 

Caught off guard, Thomas was thrown right on the spot. 

He cried out in pain. 

“Sorry, my hand slipped,” Theresa said nonchalantly before walking away. 

to be clumsy, 

“Is that the lead actress, Rose?” Thomas muttered under his breath, “Doesn’t seem to have much class.” 

Susan was utterly unfazed, even considering recording the conversation. 

Chapter 237 

She had a feeling that if Thomas kept on this reckless path, his future would be fraught with troubles. 

“Enough about that, sister–in–law.” Thomas implored, his voice tinged with urgency. “Just tell me where Theresa is.” 

…said you 

Susan looked at him slyly. “But don’t like her, so why do you want to find her?” 

Thomas had his excuse ready. 

He said without hesitation, “Do you think I want to be here? It’s my mother. She’s been making a scene, insisting bring Theresa back. Honestly, if Theresa hadn’t tricked my mom with her cunning ways, I wouldn’t even spare her a second glance.” 

At this moment, Theresa was approaching. 

Susan glanced at Theresa and wanted to laugh. She held back her laughter and asked, “What do you think of her?” 

Thomas didn’t hold back. “Let’s not even start on her terrible personality. Just her looks always hiding behind. those thick glasses, with her heavy bangs and hair always down. From a distance, if she didn’t move, I’d mistake 

her for a mop.” 

In the next moment, he let out a yelp of pain. 

Theresa looked at him emotionlessly. “Sorry, my hand slipped again.” 

Thomas stared at the two bricks on the ground, speechless. 

Once could be an accident, but twice? 

And the number of bricks even increased. 

He wouldn’t believe that Rose didn’t do it on purpose! 

“Do we have some sort of feud?” Thomas asked, baffled. 

Theresa chuckled and walked past him, deliberately stepping on his foot with her high heel. 

This pain…. 

The pain was so intense that Thomas couldn’t even cry out. 

He looked at Susan incredulously. “You saw that, right?” 

Susan, barely holding back her laughter, nodded. “I saw.” 

Thomas was astonished. “Is this the quality of your lead actress?” 

Susan raised an eyebrow. “Well, she’s very close to Theresa. Maybe she doesn’t like hearing you talk about her like

that.” 

Thomas immediately tensed up. “She knows Theresa? Susan, she won’t go tattling, will she?” 

Susan chuckled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, she won’t.” 

After all, she had heard everything herself. 

Thomas relaxed slightly, explaining in a low voice, “Even though what I said was the truth, if Theresa hears It, she’ll definitely complain to my mom, and then I’ll be in trouble.” 

Susan nodded, indicating she understood. 

As Thomas was about to continue his questioning, Mr. Witt announced that filming was about to start. 

Susan smiled and said, “Let’s watch the shooting for now.” 

Thomas, still with many questions, acquiesced for the moment. 

On set, the lead actors were ready. 

Mr. Witt briefly described the scene and started the first trial shoot. 

The female protagonist, Alice, was a girl who cared a lot about looking refined. 

In this apocalyptic environment, she couldn’t maintain her flawless makeup like before. She couldn’t even do her 

usual skincare and makeup routine 

So, her high heels became her last stronghold. 

Due to a sudden climate change, temperatures plummeted to minus ten degrees in just a few days and were still dropping rapidly. The place where Alice and Levi, the male protagonist, were staying couldn’t be heated, so they 

had to find a new base 

In the heavy snow, Alice struggled to walk in her high heels, sinking in with every step. 

Levi, seeing this, couldn’t help but reproach Alice for being unreasonable, insisting on wearing high heels even in 

such conditions. 

This led to an argument and they decided to part ways. 

The next scenes were to be shot separately for both characters. 

Mr. Witt decided to start with Theresa’s part. 

So, just after warming up for five minutes in the studio, Theresa had to re–enter the snowy outdoors.

Chapter 237 

Her lips, due to the extreme cold, had turned purplish–blue. 

Susan watched with a touch of sympathy. 

She wanted to speak up but held back, understanding this was Theresa’s career, her pursued dream. 

Although Mr. Witt was strict, he nurtured great actors. 

Theresa, despite the hardship, had an unprecedented sparkle in her eyes. 

Knowing Theresa well, Susan chose not to advise but simply observed quietly. 

Thomas, observing 

the scene, remarked. “Being an actor isn’t easy, is it?” 

“In this world, who has it easy?” Susan replied with a smile. “As long as one enjoys what they’re doing.” 

Thomas looked at Susan, surprised. “I thought she was your friend.” 

“She is, and that’s why I respect all her choices,” Susan spoke softly. 

Thomas squinted and then smiled. “You and Theresa are quite alike.” 

“How so?” Susan asked curiously. 

“About that Allen incident. I wanted to ask Theresa to speak to you on my behalf.” Thomas explained. 

Susan paused. “She never approached me.” 

“I know,” Thomas’s gaze softened. “She refused. She said you’re friends, so she wouldn’t interfere in your choices.” 

Susan chuckled lightly, recognizing it as something Theresa would indeed say. 

“Speaking of which, I owe you a formal apology. I had no idea Allen would create such a scene,” Thomas said, slightly troubled. 

Susan shook her head. “I was upset, not because of Allen, but because you brought another man to the blind date, pretending he was there instead of you. That was rude, especially to Theresa.” 

Thomas gave a wry smile. I’ve realized my mistake in that regard.” 

Susan blinked. “Telling me is pointless. Save your apologies for Theresa.” 

Thomas quickly agreed, “You’re right, Susan. So, you should tell me where Theresa is so I can…” 

“Shooting is starting, let’s watch.” Susan Interrupted. 

Thomas had no choice but to turn his attention back to the set.
