Chapter 269

Chapter 269:

After ten minutes, Milly paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd that was staring at her. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Isn’t it time yet?”

Victor checked the time on his watch. Ten minutes had passed. Typically, auditions only took five minutes.

“Oh, yeah, yeah. That’s it.” Victor was slightly taken aback. He couldn’t believe how impressive this newcomer’s acting skills were. She could even compete with veteran actors. He asked, “Have you acted in any plays or movies before?”

Milly shook her head and answered honestly, “No.”

Victor frowned. “No? So, did you study acting at university?” Milly shook her head again. She had never acted or studied acting before. No one had trained her professionally; it was just that she had exceptional natural talent.

Victor pondered for a moment and said, “Okay, I see. Please wait outside for the results.” Milly nodded and left the room obediently.

Tatiana saw all this and couldn’t help but start feeling uneasy. She had heard from Kiley that Milly’s acting skills were good, but she didn’t expect them to be this good. It turned out that Kiley and Milly weren’t even in the same league.

Moreover, Milly was only a newcomer. If she could be given a chance in the industry, she would continue to improve, becoming Tatiana’s biggest rival. Tatiana thought she would have a tough time if this happened. She observed Victor’s expression for a while, then took out her phone and sent a message to someone.

Finally, the audition was over. Everyone was about to leave the room when Tatiana forwarded a message to Victor. “Victor, I just received a video from a friend. You should take a look.” Victor opened the video, and his expression instantly changed. The content of the video was utterly disgraceful.

Tatiana sighed. “I really thought this newcomer had potential. I didn’t expect her to be this kind of person. It’s so disappointing. She is actually a promising talent in the industry.”

Victor sneered, “Among all newcomers, Hermione is the best.”

“Of course! All novels penned by Hermione are captivating,” Tatiana readily agreed. Victor was a big fan of Hermione. In fact, he had already adapted several of Hermione’s works into TV dramas. Even Hermione’s debut novel was now entrusted to Victor for adaptation.

When Victor and Tatiana walked out of the room, Madisyn and Milly were still outside. Madisyn was talking to Milly about something. Kiley was also there, waiting for Tatiana. The more she looked at Madisyn and Milly, the more irritated she became. Why were these two women so good-looking? She felt like her beauty was nothing if she stood next to them.

Although she didn’t want to, she had to admit that it was downright unsettling.

“I’m telling you, don’t be too delusional. Victor hates newcomers. This is one of Hermione’s works, and he’s a big fan of Hermione, so he won’t let a newcomer ruin this TV drama,” Kiley said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“When you say newcomer, are you referring to a newcomer in terms of acting skills or a newcomer in terms of experience?” As she asked, Madisyn looked at Kiley with a faint, mocking smile.

Kiley sensed the ridicule in Madisyn’s words and immediately got angry. “Of course, a newcomer in terms of experience.”

“Oh! So, you’re saying that someone who’s been in the industry for many years cannot be considered a newcomer, even if they haven’t produced any signature roles? And Victor will still consider them?”

Kiley wanted to retort, “Certainly not.” But she didn’t say it. Instead, she pursed her lips tightly, and her face darkened. She hadn’t expected Madisyn to be so sharp-tongued.

“I won’t accept either of them.” At this moment, a cold, steely voice sounded behind them. Madisyn turned around and saw Victor and some others walking out of the audition room. Victor looked displeased, his face filled with disgust.

Madisyn frowned slightly. The Victor she remembered wasn’t like this. In fact, she had a good impression of him. How could he change all of a sudden?

On the other hand, Kiley was secretly pleased. Victor showed up just in time. She immediately chimed in, “Exactly! You know Victor doesn’t like newcomers, yet you still brought one here. Are you deliberately disrespecting him?”

Madisyn replied calmly, “There are newcomers who are talented, and there are veterans who are not. If we don’t give newcomers chances, we will definitely overlook many exceptional talents.”

“So, are you saying that your artist is one of those exceptional ones?” Kiley retorted. “If other people say your artist is talented, then she really is. But praising your own artist is just empty boasting.”

Victor sneered and walked away without saying a word. Kiley didn’t know what Tatiana had done, but she was overjoyed. Judging from Victor’s reaction now, she could tell he was very disgusted by Madisyn and Milly. She thought her rival was doomed, so she happily chased after Victor.

“Victor White!” Madisyn suddenly called out.

Everyone was startled by her voice. They didn’t expect her to call Victor by his full name. Even Tatiana was taken aback for a moment. Then, she looked at Madisyn with interest.

Victor turned around in surprise. However, he maintained a frosty demeanor. “What’s up?”

Madisyn looked into his eyes. “The author has given you permission to adapt this book, hoping that you can create a work that everyone will enjoy, not just to satisfy your personal preferences.”

Victor’s face darkened. He knew she was right. However, he would never choose an artist with poor character. “Yes, it’s true that there are talented newcomers. But those with bad character won’t survive in this industry.”

After saying this, Victor turned and left, not wanting to waste time talking nonsense with Madisyn. Madisyn was left there in confusion.

Bad character? What did Victor mean? Was he saying Milly had a bad character? Suddenly, Madisyn remembered the provocative look Tatiana had given her before leaving. She immediately understood what was going on. Tatiana must have done something behind the scenes.
