Chapter 361

“Don’t you think Kristy’s votes just shot up too quickly? I bet they’ve got people paid to boost Kristy’s votes!”

“We can’t let them get away with this.

Get our friends and family to support Selah!”

Jayleen got a text from one of the judges.

“Tell Kristy she’s got to nail the final scene to show her true talent, or we’re out of options!”

Jayleen responded, “No worries.

I’ve got the last part of the script under control.

Kristy’s ready and will surely come out on top.

”

Then, Jayleen messaged the leader of the paid voters, “Why couldn’t you guys surpass Selah’s votes? You let Selah get another shot!”

The leader replied, “You gave us a five-minute heads up.

We did what we could.

But I’ve got the next round covered.

We won’t lose in the last vote!”

Jayleen insisted, “Increase the numbers, spare no expense.

We need to bridge that gap in the next vote!”

She was convinced Selah didn’t stand a chance!

Jayleen glanced at Lindsey, her sense of imminent victory overshadowed by a growing irritation.

While she felt restless, like a fish out of water, Lindsey retained her cool, composed demeanor.

Jayleen’s irritation deepened, a part of her itching to strip away Lindsey’s facade of tranquility.

Yet, she contained her rage.

A woman who had climbed to the ranks of director of the agent department wasn’t one to lose her head.

Jayleen had her own tactics, her ruthlessness, and her unyielding ways.

With years of experience in the ruthless industry, how could she allow a newcomer to overshadow her?

The thought steeled her resolve.

L

indsey was going to face a crushing defeat.

As the third round of auditions loomed, anticipation buzzed in the air.

The final act would showcase Nicolas acting with the two ladies, an event that had the live audience on the edge of their seats.

Meanwhile, Selah’s brow furrowed as she perused the script.

Lindsey, noticing her expression, approached with a question.

“Selah, is everything alright? You don’t look too good.

”

Selah sighed and laid the script aside.

“No, I’m okay.

It’s just… this role.

I have to embody a mother who’s just lost her child.

Misled by her husband, she believes her lover is to blame and kills him, only to discover later he was her child’s real father.

It’s all a cruel plot by her spouse, his twisted form of vengeance.

The character unravels, descending into madness.

”

“Well, this character seems pretty complex, Lindsey remarked.

She found the last scene quite tough.

“Like any job, the more tangled the role, the deeper the Life experience required.

If I were her, madness wouldn’t be my end.

I’d calmly avenge my child, then face the consequences.

”

Lindsey, puzzled, inquired, “Why’s that?”

“You’re not a mother, Lindsey.

You wouldn’t understand.

See, Kristy’s about to start her act,” Selah remarked, her gaze fixed on the stage.

She pondered how Kristy would bring this character to life.

On stage, Kristy shone as the lead, while Nicolas played her on-screen husband.
