The smell of blood... it somewhat resembles the scent when she just slaughtered a chicken.

But how could the Young Madam, such a noble person, possibly have any blood on her?

She must have smelled it wrong.

"I'm not hungry, just bring up a cup of hot milk. You should go to bed early after finishing your work," Aurelia Shaw said, then went upstairs.

Madam Rong smiled as she watched her back, thinking: The Young Madam is truly kind.

She had worked as a servant in many households, but none were like the Young Madam, who treated them without the least bit of condescension.

She seemed quite aloof, but Madam Rong could feel that the Young Madam had a good heart, something innate that couldn't change.

Aurelia Shaw returned to the room to change clothes, as her current outfit was splattered with blood. Although the black fabric masked it, the pungent blood scent was unpleasant and easily noticeable.

Aurelia Shaw tossed the clothes into the bathroom, took a shower, and upon coming out, discovered someone extra in the living room — Mason Nightshade.

She had clearly locked the door, so how... Aurelia Shaw glanced at the door; the lock had already been opened.

As if guessing her doubts, Mason Nightshade proactively explained, "I have the key to every room. The lock is useless to me."

"Thank you for the reminder. Tomorrow, I'll have someone change the lock or perhaps just block this door entirely," Aurelia Shaw replied mildly, walking to the mirror to blow-dry her hair.

Mason Nightshade felt a strange sense of sorrow over her continued coldness towards him.

"The washbasin in the downstairs bathroom is broken, so I came to shower here."

"Please, go ahead." Aurelia Shaw's tone was still indifferent, as if, besides necessary communication, there were no extra words needed between them.

Mason Nightshade carried his robe and entered the bathroom.

After blow-drying her hair, Aurelia Shaw sat cross-legged on the bed, studying the script and analyzing clips from veteran performers. For things she didn't understand, she sent emails to her friends in the foreign entertainment circle for advice.

She studied acting in M Nation, and after returning home, some things delayed her entry into the industry for a few years. Some classmates and friends had already made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.

From her past life memories, some classmates later received various award nominations, with someone even gaining the title of Best Actor.

While seriously watching, Aurelia Shaw's phone made a "ding" sound. She glanced at it, her surprised eyes slightly narrowing — Andrew Kennedy publicly confirmed on Weibo that Audrey Wood "mistreated" her on the set!

Given his influence on Weibo, this immediately caused a stir. The wavering, indecisive netizens instantly rallied. Andrew Kennedy's reputation in the industry was credible, and what he said was generally accepted as fact. If he were to be disproven, the trust he'd built with fans over the years would crumble in an instant. Hence, netizens believed Andrew Kennedy wouldn't ruin his future for an unfamiliar young artist.

Seeing their idol speak out, Kennedy Family fans rallied in support of Aurelia Shaw.

The public relations work from Eleanor Spencer's side was just starting to show results when it got overshadowed by the Kennedy Family's support. Nancy Carter was so enraged she almost fainted, gripping the cup, her hands trembling, eyes red — Susan Easton, you again!

Susan Easton sneezed, expressing her innocence in the situation, as she was almost driven crazy tonight by her artist making decisions on their own!

"Click!" The bathroom door opened, and Mason Nightshade walked out.
