This bruise had obviously been caused by the repeated kowtowing.
“Did you really just… do whatever they told you to do?
For some reason, Lucas suddenly got angry.
“What else could I do?” Serenity responded. “Refuse them? In that case, I wouldn’t get paid a single dime today.”
He almost choked. He was fully aware that extras were the workers at the lowest rung of the hierarchy on set, and they basically had no bargaining power at all when they were demanded to do something.
“How much are you getting paid per day as an extra?” he asked in a muf fled voice.

“I was initially promised 80 dollars,” she explained, “but because there would be a kneeling scene, 50 dollars was added. Just now, when I had to demonstrate kowtowing alone in front of the others, I was given another 200 dollars
He stared at her with roiling emotions. So, she had kept on kneeling and kowtowing over and over again, all just for 330 dollars?
Did this wornan not know how to protect herself?!
“Are there any past grudges between you and Aria Lewis?” he asked. He could naturally tell that what had happened just now was because Ana deliberately wanted to bully Serenity, yet no one on set dared to say anything about it
On one hand, this was, of course, due to how little extras were valued on set. The crew was full of shrewd people, so everyone knew not to offend Aria Lewis just to help a lowly extra
But it was also not least due to the fact that the person supporting Aria Lewis… was Lucas himself!
Thinking of this, Lucas felt as if his chest was stuffed with a heavy load that suffocated him.
“She’s my half-sister,” Serenity explained bluntly, “born of a different mother. As for past grudges, I guess she has always felt that her career and future were ruined because I had been in prison before.”
Even if she did not tell him any of this, Serenity was sure that Lucas could easily find out the truth without expending much effort at all. Hence she found no reason to conceal anything from him.
Mild surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he basically knew everything about Aria’s life and was well aware of the fact that she had a half-sister who did not live with her, he had never bothered to find out what Ana’s half-sister’s name was. But that was only to be expected since he never cared much about Ana, anyway. He only kept her by his side because Aria’s lips reminded him of the girl in his memories.
