Chapter 268

Chapter 268:

Milly nodded. She appeared so delicate and innocent that Madisyn started to worry. She wondered if Milly could handle the harshness of fame and criticism without slipping into depression.

“The director is here,” someone suddenly announced from the side.

Madisyn turned to find Victor White approaching, flanked by Tatiana and another actress. Everyone around quickly began welcoming them.

“Hello, Victor. Hi, Tatiana.”

“Tatiana, you look stunning today.”

Tatiana acknowledged the compliments with a smile. When Victor spotted Madisyn and Milly, he paused in surprise before heading into the audition room. Once he went inside, the audition began.

The actress accompanying Tatiana lingered in the waiting area, quickly becoming the focus of everyone’s attention. She was Kiley Green.

“Kiley, Tatiana is the leading actress, and you two are from the same company. It looks like you’re set for the second female lead,” Kiley said with a modest smile.

“We haven’t seen the results yet, so it’s not confirmed.”

“Oh, come on! With Tatiana in the mix, it has to be you!” The flattery towards Kiley continued unabated.

Madisyn glanced at them and then turned back to go over the scene with Milly.

“We still have some time. How about we practice together?” Madisyn proposed.

Milly nodded.

As Madisyn observed Milly, her expression changed dramatically. Milly suddenly looked regal and composed, her eyes sharp and dignified, like those of a young noble. Her voice even took on the lower tones of a teenager as she said, “Is this your excuse? How absurd.”

Milly’s eyes widened with a flicker of surprise. She clearly didn’t expect Madisyn’s acting skills to be so good. But in a moment, Milly responded, fully embodying her character, “Believe it or not.”

Under Madisyn’s guidance, Milly found herself diving deeper into her role.

Someone caught the act and nudged a friend, murmuring, “Look, are they performing?”

“They are good.”

“That woman is incredible.”

Everyone was astounded by Madisyn’s acting, with Milly close behind in impressiveness. Even Kiley took notice, her eyes widening in astonishment.

She had arrived assuming Tatiana had smoothed everything over with Victor and that her chances of landing the second lead were solid. However, witnessing these two shook her confidence. Their acting skills far surpassed hers!

But who were they? She had never encountered them before. Feeling uneasy, Kiley quickly took a photo and sent it to Tatiana. Tatiana was in the audition room when her phone buzzed. She checked it and read Kiley’s message. “Tatiana, who are these two? They’re practicing here, and they look very talented. Could I lose my role?”

Tatiana opened the photo and was confronted by her old rival, Madisyn. Madisyn wasn’t an actress. She was likely just assisting the other woman with her lines. But that woman…

Her presence was enough to cause a stir. Was there truly such a stunning newcomer in show business? Could she be a new talent signed by Edge Entertainment? If Madisyn was trying to help a newcomer get the second female lead role, she was aiming too high. Tatiana scoffed.

After the actress finished the audition, Tatiana struck up a light conversation with Victor. She said, “It seems there are many hopefuls today. I noticed someone from Edge Entertainment, a newcomer who looks quite promising.”

“‘A newcomer?” Victor’s face clouded over. “Is that woman a newcomer?”

“Yes, Edge Entertainment is known for its prowess. Their new talents are usually very gifted.” Tatiana pretended to be impressed. But she was well aware that Victor had little patience for overconfident newcomers. After a bad experience, he had grown cautious and avoided taking risks with them. Why take a chance on new actors when experienced ones were consistently reliable?

Victor’s face was stern, yet he remained silent. Tatiana noticed his displeasure, and a subtle smile formed on her lips. With Victor already biased against this newcomer, how could she succeed in her audition?

Then, it was Kiley’s turn. Her performance was solid, and Victor appeared quite pleased. After Kiley, it was Milly’s turn.

As Milly entered, Victor’s demeanor became more severe. He instructed her coldly, “Choose a scene and begin.” He then lowered his gaze to his notes, showing minimal interest in Milly’s performance. Tatiana struggled to conceal her smile.

“Does any of this concern me?” Milly’s voice was sharp and clear, like the chill of high altitude, and it carried a touch of sorrow, capturing everyone’s attention.

Victor, previously engrossed in his notes, couldn’t resist looking up. As soon as he saw Milly’s expression, he was taken aback.
