Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Shooting the Music Video
Julia brushed her wind-blown black hair, her cherry red lips rising in a smile of determination. She had vowed that one day, everything she lost, she would take back.
Including... Leon Keane.
Julia pressed the doorbell.
The servant quickly came to open the door, seeing a beautiful, mature woman standing at the entrance with luggage. The servant immediately said politely, "You must be Miss Sinclair, right?"
Julia smiled politely, "Yes, I am the family doctor invited by Aunt Kane, just flew back from Meridia."
The servant gasped and looked at Julia with admiration, "Wow~ Meridia, where the world’s top medical standards are found. Miss Sinclair must be from Zephyria! To be able to enter Meridia and become a doctor there. Miss Sinclair really is amazing, bringing honor to our Zephyria."
Pride flashed in Julia’s eyes, but she still replied modestly, "You’ve praised me too much."
"Miss Sinclair, you’re too humble."
In the servant’s heart, Julia’s likability instantly soared.
Julia smiled slightly but said no more. This was exactly the effect she wanted; everyone in the Kane family should look at her with reverence and also think of her as humble and easy to get along with.
Such an image makes it easier to win people’s hearts.
"Miss Sinclair, you’ve just flown back to the country, you must be very tired. Let me take your suitcase! I’ll help you with it."
"No need... thank you."
"Oh, Miss Sinclair, don’t be so polite!"
The servant snatched the suitcase from Julia’s hand and moved it to the stairs, lifting it with effort.
Julia saw the servant fawning over her like a lapdog, her cherry lips curled up, living with wealth and status was indeed good; she was like the master, others like dogs.
"Miss Sinclair, I’m Auntie Chamberlain, I’ve served the old lady for five or six years and I’m considered the housekeeper of the Kane family." Auntie Chamberlain warmly approached Julia with her self-introduction.
She didn’t mention that she was specifically the nanny for Ian because Julia was not yet aware of Ian’s existence. If she mentioned it now, and Julia couldn’t accept or rejected her, it would not be worth the loss.
"Hello, Auntie Chamberlain, during my stay here, please take care of me." Julia said politely.
Take care of me.
Show some sincerity!
Auntie Chamberlain saw Julia’s smiling face with empty hands, her own smile stiffened a bit, and she cursed internally: stingy.
"I wouldn’t dare say take care, in the future, if Miss Sinclair needs anything, just feel free to let me know. Miss Sinclair, the madam is waiting for you in her room as she has been ill recently. Come with me!"
Auntie Chamberlain led Julia into the room of Ian’s mother.
Ian’s mother saw Julia and hesitated for a moment. With her white coat removed, Julia wore a light green down jacket, black pencil pants, and brown long boots, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
Julia’s profession was a doctor, giving off an initial impression of integrity and steadiness.
Putting aside Julia’s family background, such a woman met Ian’s mother’s standard for a daughter-in-law the best.
Julia approached Ian’s mother’s bed, half-squatting and half-kneeling at the bedside, and gently said, "Aunt Kane, let me first check your pulse. If you feel any discomfort, just let me know."
Julia held Ian’s mother’s hand, gently placing her fingers on her pulse.
Ian’s mother, upon hearing that Julia could take her pulse, looked at Julia in surprise, "Julia, you’re truly amazing. I thought you studied Western medicine, but it turns out you can also do traditional medicine."
Julia smiled gently, "Traditional medicine is something our ancestors left us. As a Zephyrian, I can’t forget my roots! I studied Western medicine to keep up with the times. Western medicine, for major illnesses requiring surgery, has advanced technology assistance, able to treat conditions that traditional medicine can’t. However, traditional medicine’s methods—observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking—are also really powerful in treating some long-term ailments..."
After boasting for a while, Ian’s mother, not understanding these things, nodded continuously as Julia, who studied medicine, explained skillfully, making Ian’s mother feel that Julia was omnipotent in medicine.
Furthermore, the elderly, as they age, face more ailments, most lacking a good family doctor. If Julia could be her daughter-in-law, wouldn’t that mean a long-term family doctor?
Having such a doctor from a prestigious hospital in Meridia, no amount of money could secure a 24-hour, live-in family doctor.
Thinking this way...
Ian’s mother became increasingly satisfied with Julia.

Ivana Monroe agreed to shoot a music video with Sean Vaughn.
"GK" store, she couldn’t go there temporarily.
She made a phone call to Ivy Linden.
Upon hearing it, Ivy Linden excitedly screamed over the phone, "Wow! Wow! Wow! Idol Goddess, you’re amazing, I support you wholeheartedly, you don’t need to worry about the GK store, leave everything to me, I’ll manage it perfectly, looking forward to your MV with Sean Vaughn, sob sob sob."
Ivana made this call with an apologetic heart, hearing Ivy transform into a fangirl over the phone made Ivana somewhat uncomfortable.
Ivy, can we be normal, please?
Ivy Linden already couldn’t stay calm, "Idol Goddess, where are you and Sean Vaughn shooting the MV? Is there a night scene? If so, let me know, I want to come see... ahhhh!"
Ivana wasn’t sure if there was a night scene.
She said, "I’ll ask Director Arnold today, if there is, I’ll send you the address and time."
Ivy Linden went crazy with joy, "Okay okay okay, I love you, my Idol Goddess."
Hanging up the phone.
Ivana clutched her trembling heart, Ivy was too fangirl, too exaggerated, and she felt a bit overwhelmed, a good friend who had gone through thick and thin suddenly transformed into a fangirl waving glow sticks and screaming at her idol from the stands.
The MV company sent a car to pick up Ivana.
The filming location was a high school, where the male and female leads of the MV create the purest sparks.
Upon arrival, Ivana, under the guidance of the staff, entered the makeup room.
Sean Vaughn had already arrived, sitting there getting his makeup done!
"Sister, good morning!"
Sean Vaughn, seeing Ivana arrive through the mirror, pushed away the dainty fingers of the makeup artist, turned his head and gave Ivana a grin, the young man’s face covered with powder, yet unevenly applied, with large white patches resembling vitiligo.
"Morning." Ivana waved her hand, signaling him to continue with his makeup.
Don’t scare people, please!
Director Arnold came over, smiling and greeting Ivana, then said, "Sean Vaughn just started his makeup, it will take about ten minutes. Why don’t you go change into your outfit first? By the time you come out, Sean will be almost done."
The makeup room and changing room both had air conditioning. Changing into the costume before the makeup wouldn’t make one cold.
Ivana nodded and asked, "Does our MV have a night scene? A good friend of mine wants to come and watch."
Director Arnold said, "There is, but I wouldn’t recommend your friend coming to watch."
Ivana: "Ah? Why?"
Director Arnold awkwardly replied, "That scene is really cold, I’m afraid your friend might want to hit me after seeing it."
