Chapter 529

A few other guests were already in the van, some Yvonne recognized and some she didn't. She greeted each of them.

"Mr. Cooper, Mr. Shah, good morning."

"Yvonne, over here! Sit with me!" Shirley Don exclaimed happily, waving her over.

They hadn't seen each other since Mr. Turner's show wrapped, so it was a pleasant surprise to find Shirley was also on this travel show.

"I ran into Grace at an entertainment gala last month. She misses you too. We should all get together for drinks sometime soon."

Shirley chattered away as she and Yvonne sat together.

The van started moving, driving smoothly as it headed to pick up the next guest.

After some brief introductions, the guests on board began to chat casually.

The show had invited six regular guests in total.

Shirley and Yvonne were the two popular young actresses.

Darnell and Corey were two popular young actors, and there was also a comedian named Brady.

The final regular guest had yet to be picked up, so their identity was still a mystery.

"Hey, my agent told me the last guest was slipped in by the investor. She's the investor's mistress, so let's make sure we don't get on her bad side," Shirley whispered in Yvonne's ear.

"Isn't the investor Mr. Ward? He's in his sixties. He still has a mistress?" Yvonne's eyes widened in shock.

"A dirty old man, what can you do?" Shirley scoffed. "Some people have no shame when it comes to getting famous, throwing themselves at old men! We should stay far away from her, so we don't get any of that filth on us."

"Right," Yvonne nodded in agreement.

"Ms. Jones, you live in Cherry Bay?

That's Istra's most exclusive residential complex. I'm so jealous Darell, who had a very outgoingar personality, said.

He was sitting in front of Yvonne and Shirley and had turned around to smile at Yvonne.

"Oh, it's a friend's place," Yvonne replied vaguely.

"This friend of yours must be quite a big shot," Corey, sitting next to Darnell, commented.

Cherry Bay was a symbol of status and wealth in Istra. Only the rich and powerful could afford to live there.

"What kind of friend? A boyfriend, right?" Darnell teased with a grin, his nature open and direct.

Yvonne just smiled without answering.

Her relationship with Bennett was something of an open secret in high society Yvonne wasnt suret Darnett was genumely clueless just testing the waters, so she chose not to respond.

After about half an hour, the van pulled up in front of a high-end villa complex. A young woman stood at the entrance, a housekeeper holding her suitcase behind her.

Yvonne peered out the window and was surprised to see a familiar face—Luna. Yvonne spent most of her time filming or recording shows, only returning to school for exams. As a result, she hadn't seen her roommate, Luna, in a long time.

She just hadn't expected Luna to be the "Mr. Ward's mistress" that Shirley had just mentioned.

Once the van stopped, a crew member got out to help with the luggage.

The housekeeper handed Luna's two large suitcases to the crew. Luna reminded them to be careful and not to damage her expensive belongings before she boarded the van

Since Luna was a newcomer who hadn't appeared in any major productions, her

arrival was met with an awkward silence. No one on the van recognized her.
