The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 675

In the RV, Paige had just stepped out, leaving Allison to muse aloud, "Everyone's reaching for the stars, you know? Paige made the smart move. We all want to climb higher. When opportunity knocks, you gotta grab it."

"Allison, you've been so good to Paige, and I just... I mean, you've always wanted to lift her up. Even if Paige hadn't gone with Patty, you would've helped her out. Aren't we just nurturing an ingrate?"

"People have their own dreams and paths. I respect her choice," Allison replied, her voice carrying a hint of wisdom.

These days, Allison's schedule was jam-packed with filming. When she wrapped up for the day and returned to her hotel, she'd stand in front of the mirror, practicing her facial expressions and rehearsing her lines until they were second nature.

Time flew by without notice.

Friday arrived, and with it, a pivotal scene.

Allison was playing the lead role of Irene, who was on the brink of uncovering a dark truth. The scene was set on a rooftop, where Irene would have a fierce confrontation with the villain. The clash intensified, and the villain pushed her towards the edge, but at the last moment, Shane rushed to her rescue.

Shane grabbed her hand and pulled her to safety, but as he did, the villain drew a knife and stabbed Shane in the back. Despite his life-threatening injuries, Shane still shielded Irene with his body.

Only then did the police arrive, apprehending the villain.

"Fragments of Truth," the movie they were shooting, revolved around a detective story with minimal emphasis on the romantic subplot. The lead characters, a rookie cop and a recent college graduate working a white-collar job, were inexperienced and naive about the world. They were just two ordinary people who, through mutual support and reliance, managed to crack a significant case.

The original book had only lightly touched on the romance between the leads, but fans had imagined a wealth of unspoken passion between the charismatic characters.

Even though the romance wasn't explicit in the book, the rich plot and character design had already made Irene and Shane the perfect couple in the hearts of countless fans.

Victoria, the screenwriter, had consulted the original author several times to strike the right balance. She chose to focus primarily on the mystery and suspense while weaving in a touch of romance, accounting for about twenty percent of the script.
