As a newcomer without an assistant, Yvonne managed everything on her own—training, costume fittings, promotional photoshoots—without a single mistake.
On the first official day of filming, she was surprised when Mrs. Gonzalez showed up on set to visit.
Since Matthew was one of the film’s investors, Mrs. Gonzalez was treated with the utmost respect.
“Mrs. Gonzalez, you came all this way! Why didn’t you let us know? I would have sent a car for you,” Mr. Turner said, greeting her warmly.
“You’re a busy man, Mr. Turner. I wouldn’t dare interrupt your work. I’m just here to see my future daughter-in-law and I’ll be heading back tonight. Please, don’t let me get in the way of your schedule.”
Mrs. Gonzalez’s tone was perfectly reasonable.
Given that Matthew had just thrown a hundred million dollars at the production to get Queena the lead role, Mr. Turner naturally assumed she was the daughter-in-law in question. He immediately sent someone to fetch her.
“Mrs. Gonzalez, what are you doing here?” Queena asked, her demeanor noticeably more reserved in the older woman’s presence.
“I came to see Yvonne. I didn’t realize you were in this film as well,” Mrs. Gonzalez replied mildly. She then turned to Mr. Turner, completely ignoring Queena. “Where is Yvonne? Is she still filming? I was hoping I could see her.”
“Yvonne is your daughter-in-law?” Mr. Turner asked, his eyes wide with astonishment.
“That’s right. Yvonne and Matthew have been engaged for some time. As soon as she turns twenty and is of legal age, they’ll be married. We’ll have to invite you to the wedding, Mr. Turner.”
Mrs. Gonzalez’s smile was radiant.
“Is that so? She’s certainly very low-key,” Mr. Turner said with an awkward laugh, casting a meaningful glance at Queena.
