Chapter 382

The staff member left to bring Caroline in. Daphne asked Layla, “Do you want to stay out of her sight?”

“No. I want her to know that I’m here. I want to see her expression when she sees me here.”

This time, she would surely get the chance to see it for herself. Daphne had already made a promise to sign the contract with Layla, so she wouldn’t go back on her word.

Caroline was busy going through Sonia’s information when she heard the noise of a brawl coming from somewhere near her. She looked up to see a slender figure being lifted into the air with suspension wires. Soon, a few others followed suit, and they all got into a fight.

All of them were agile, and the young woman who led them was especially nimble despite her small stature.

Her fighting style was firm yet elegant, as though she were dancing away in a battle. It was aesthetically pleasing and practical at the same time.

Watching her moves, Caroline couldn’t help but ask one of the staff members, “Who’s that body double?”

The staff followed her gaze and laughed. “She’s not a double. She’s the female lead, Sonia.”

“Sonia?” Caroline raised her eyebrows, astonished.

“Yep. There are just too few actresses who can actually fight these days,” said the staff member.

“But she learned kickboxing in the past and gets the hang of it. She even learned ballet before joining us back then.”

Caroline couldn’t help but take another glance at Sonia.

“Oh, right!” The staff member exclaimed as she remembered what she was here for.

“Ms. Evans, you can go in to meet Ms. Daphne now.”

“Okay,” said Caroline as she took one last glance at Sonia. Then, she followed the staff member into Daphne’s dressing room.

For this production, Daphne merely played the role of the fifth female character, yet she had a Regardless, Caroline and Sean were friends, and if Daphne signed the contract with Layla, it would offend Caroline.

If that happened, Caroline might ask Gwen to talk badly about Daphne in front of Sean. Then, Sean might talk to Kirk about it too.

Daphne took a moment to consider these factors. After a while, she said, “Kindly ask someone else to become your ambassador. I won’t sign the contract with Caroline either.”

This was the best decision she could make since she could avoid offending either side. It was the most rational thing she could do, even though she would very much like to take her revenge on Caroline.

Layla smiled softly. “I understand why you’re refusing my offer. You’re afraid of offending Caroline and Sean,” she said.

“But think about it. Caroline is merely Sean’s girlfriend’s friend. There’s a huge gap between them.

Besides, I heard that Sean and his girlfriend are going to break up.”

“Really?” Daphne’s eyes lit up at her words.

“The information I get is never wrong,” Layla persuaded her.

“If you don’t believe me, you can go ask around yourself. Some others know about it already. It happened just a couple of days ago.

“A young woman came to Gwen’s company and claimed that Gwen took her boyfriend away from her.”

“You aren’t lying to me, are you?” Daphne became more excited the longer they talked.

“We’re business partners. I don’t have a reason to lie to you,” Layla said.

“Besides, you’re Eddy’s second uncle’s wife. I’ll have to call you my aunt too in the future. Do you think I’ll lie to a close relative?”

Daphne bought it right away. “Okay. I’ll sign the contract with you!”

“Thank you, aunt.” Layla finally smiled.

Daphne beamed at her too. Making Caroline’s life difficult lifted her spirits, and she told the staff member, “Ask Caroline to go back.”

The staff member turned to leave but was stopped by Layla “Aunt, you shouldn’t let her go back just like this.”

“What are you suggesting?” Daphne asked.

“Do you know what the most ruthless thing in this world is?”

Daphne had no clue. Smilingly, Layla told her, “It’s to give someone a sense of hope and tear it apart before them.”

Daphne understood the task immediately and told the staff member, “Let Caroline in ”
