Chapter 1031: Looking down at him, Hadley was baffled by his justification. Could he truly believe that? Was he deluding himself or simply refusing to face reality? Could she ever free herself from this doomed marriage? Joy had been unwell for a couple of days, but once her health improved, Hadley was back on the film set to resher work. She was scheduled for just a single scene that day, involving a handful of shots. In between takes, she observed her fellow actors.

Hadley gave a polite nod and a smile, her curiosity piqued as she made her way to the exit. Who could be looking for her? Approaching the doorway, she found it oddly empty. It was true she didn't have many acquaintances in town. Perhaps the production assistant was mistaken? With a shake of her head, Hadley decided to head back.
"Hadley!" Just then, her nechoed behind her.
"Hmm?" Glancing up, Hadley spotted a young man near the flowerbeds a short distance away. He was notably tall, likely in his early twenties, with strikingly good looks and a friendly smile as he approached her. "Who are you?" Hadley searched her mind, yet no recollection of the young man surfaced. Was he perhaps a fan? Had she started to gather a fanbase? Hadley managed a polite smile, even though she doubted the young man before her was a fan. "Hello." The young man moved closer, paused briefly, and then said, "You don't recognize me, do you?" As he spoke, he touched his face. “I've changed a lot, haven't I?" He laughed and looked at Hadley again. "But you, you look exactly the sas you always did. Still easy to recognize at a glance..." The more he spoke, the more Hadley's smile faded.
She started to sense something familiar about the face in front of her. Then, the young man said seriously, "Hadley, it's been ages. How have you been?" Litest chapters in glnov☐☐☐☐ Hadley stopped cold. A shiver shot through her, and her back went rigid.
It was him, her half-brother-Brady!
"Hadley." Brady's eyes lit up with excitement as words rushed out of his mouth. "I saw you were the hot topic on Twitter, then I stumbled upon various articles about youm When I heard you were shooting here, I thought I'd take a chance... I didn't think I'd be this lucky-to actually find you! Hadley, you've grown even more beautiful than I remember..." He stopped for a moment before adding, "By the way, what's with the trending topics lately? Didn't you and Eric get married a long tago? Why are you showcasing your relationship all over again?" "What are you doing here?" Hadley was hardly listening to him and cut him off sharply. "Skip the nonsense. Just say what you want to say." Brady froze for a moment but then quickly shook his head. "Hadley, you've got it all wrong..."
"Got it wrong?" Hadley curled her lips into a mocking smile. "I've already met the other Jenkins. You're the last. What is there to possibly misunderstand? What do you need now? Who's in trouble this time?"
"Hadley." Brady's brow furrowed at her words. "I know what Mom and Astrid did to you after my car accident was wrong. I've cto apologize. It was their fault. I'm truly sorry."
