Chapter 266:

Perhaps Madisyn’s extensive experience in the entertainment industry had honed her ability to discern potential stars. This woman certainly seemed like she would attract a lot of attention.

Howard approached Madisyn and quietly said, “This girl nearly got hit by my car earlier. She’s an orphan and quite destitute, so I’ve taken her in for now.” Such a tragic story?

Madisyn found the situation odd yet held back her doubts. “Then why have you brought her to see me today?”

“She’s unemployed. When I asked her what she wanted to do, she expressed the desire to become a star. Plus, she’s truly striking. I thought she might have a chance in this field, so I brought her to you,” Howard explained, somewhat anxiously. “Of course, if you don’t think it’s a good idea, I’ll find something else for her.”

Observing Howard, Madisyn could see that he genuinely cared for this woman.

“Okay, I’ll have my assistant get her some fresh clothes, and she needs a shower,” Madisyn said.

The assistant then escorted the woman away.

“Howard, don’t you find this all a bit too coincidental?” Madisyn asked, eyeing her brother.

“I do,” Howard admitted. “I had someone check her background but came up empty. She is really pitiful, with bruises all over her body. It’s tough for a girl without any family to make it on her own.”

Madisyn sighed in her heart. Howard truly had a big heart.

As they were talking, the assistant returned with the woman. Madisyn looked at her and suddenly understood the meaning of exceptional beauty. Her features were too stunning. Even Madisyn had to acknowledge her remarkable looks!

Howard’s gaze lingered on the woman, his expression distant for a moment before sadness touched his features. He mused that beauty, in isolation, could be a tragic attribute. Having lived alone for years made the woman vulnerable to mistreatment. No wonder she had appeared so dirty earlier.

“You definitely have the look of a star, but what makes you want to become one?” Madisyn asked the woman.

The woman seemed embarrassed, glancing at Howard occasionally.

Howard urged her, “Just say what you are thinking.”

The woman admitted, “I want to earn money. I’m tired of being homeless.”

Madisyn asked, “Why not get a regular job?” The woman hesitated, then said, “I don’t know why, but wherever I work, people stare at me oddly…” She looked down.

Now, even Madisyn felt a sting in her heart. It was clear her beauty made the woman stand out uncomfortably at work. Realizing this, Madisyn understood why her brother was so protective. Anyone would feel compelled to help the woman.

“Okay, your look meets our requirements, but we need to assess your skills first.” Madisyn then instructed her assistant, “Take her to the training room for a skills evaluation.”

The assistant escorted the woman away again.

Howard murmured, “She’s fortunate to have met you.” Otherwise, she would be very pitiful.

“She’s fortunate to have met you, not me,” Madisyn replied. She didn’t think the woman would be good at acting, given her lack of formal training. Yet, an hour later, when the assistant arrived with the test results, the presence of four stars on the sheet left Madisyn speechless. A five-star rating was reserved for top-tier talent. Four stars indicated the potential to be an A-lister. In other words, this young woman was performing at an A-list level.

The assistant was thrilled, exclaiming, “Miss Johns, she’s truly remarkable!” She was confident that someone so talented and beautiful was destined for stardom.

Madisyn observed the woman, deep in thought.

The woman hesitated, then said, “I really enjoy acting and often practice on my own. I’m not sure if I was doing it right…”

“You were.” Madisyn suddenly smiled, saying, “You have a natural talent. I’ll have someone draft a contract for you. By the way, what’s your name?”

“My name is Seven,” the woman answered.

That was her name?

Madisyn decided Howard should first help the woman get an ID card. After Howard departed, Madisyn typed away at her computer, and the display shifted. Ten minutes later, the information on the woman appeared on her screen. It was utterly empty!

Suddenly, her phone rang.

“Sweetheart, it’s noon. Have you eaten?” Andrew’s soothing voice came.

Madisyn often missed meals, prompting Andrew to check on her regularly.

“I’ll eat later. Howard brought a woman over today,” Madisyn said softly.

Andrew replied, “I heard. He almost ran into her. What’s up? Something seems off?”
