That woman lied through her teeth!
Stella pulled Felicity back just as she was about to speak up.
“Director Wood, I thought you forgot about today’s audition since this lady over here said you weren’t
coming just now.”
The woman’s heart stopped and hurriedly wove an excuse for herself. “When did you come, Director
Woods? I asked Cad, and he said you weren’t in.”
Daniel’s gaze took in the three of them, and he said faintly, “Come with me.” Daniel took them to a larger
office and asked the woman who had quarreled with them to step outside. with him.
Once the two got out, Felicity immediately took out her phone. Stella saw her checking her social media
and murmured, “What are you finding?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFelicity replied, “The woman just now looks familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen her. Let me
check their group photos.”
She
found the picture and exclaimed, “So, it was her!”
“Who?”
“Kelly Harper.”
Stella narrowed her brows. “This name sounds familiar
“She directed that brainless drama, Secret Sweetheart, where you voice-acted in with Bella. That
overhyped corny drama! She debuted in an idol drama, yet she looks down on it. How funny is that!”
Hearing Felicity’s explanation, Stella realized that Kelly Harper’s name has indeed appeared in many
films and television dramas. “Why’s she here with Daniel?”
“Not sure. There are rumors that Kelly’s husband is powerful. Her dramas’ in the early days. were trash,
but she could always pull in sponsorships. She bought some famous copyright when IP dramas
went viral and got some trending actors to play out the script. She’s made a fortune with it and has since
been in the limelight for two years. Now I kind of quarreling with her. What if she makes things hard for
you?”
regret
Stella seemed rather calm. “What’s bound to happen will happen eventually. If she really views me badly,
whether you talk back today or not, something will happen in the future too. Let’s just wait and see.”
Felicity was doubtful, but then she realized no matter how powerful Kelly’s husband was, he could not be
more powerful than the Kane family in Rivera. She calmed down, realizing that Keegan would never let
people bully his wife. After a few minutes, Daniel, Kelly, and three other people entered the room. A
younger-looking man handed a few papers to Stella. Daniel said, “You have five minutes. We’ll start once
you go through the script.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella was stunned to find that she had got the script for the Queen. “The Queen is the villain of the story.
I heard a famous veteran actress was going to get this role. Why did Daniel give me the Queen’s script?’”
Stella raised her head but saw that the people were playing with their phones or chatting among
themselves. She suppressed her doubts and quickly memorized the lines. When the time was up, she
said to Daniel, “I’m ready.”
Daniel gestured to the boy who had handed her the script. The boy immediately understood his silent
instructions and started to read the narration. This scene was after the concubine’s scene ended. In
order to get the King to trust her and let her take care of the Prince, the Queen deliberately plotted to
make the Prince fall into the lake. Then she would jump into the lake in the cold midnight to save the
Prince.
What was challenging about this scene was that the Queen, in the eyes of the others, was still a gentle
wife and loving mother. Stella should not act too exaggeratedly and reveal the Queen’s intentions too
early, but at the same time, show enough details to foreshadow the plot twist. Therefore, the audience
would feel horror when everything was revealed at the end.
