Chapter 153

Skylar had just finished a call with Gareth and it was not long before Celine’s call came in.

She was still hesitating over how to break the news to Celine! Now that Celine had brought it up, Skylar could not help but sigh.

“The person to play the female lead of Cannon Fodder Guide has been decided but it’s not you.”

“What?”

Celine turned pale in shock.

Her reaction came as no surprise. She was a popular celebrity after all. Even with the scandal, Celine had a huge fan base and was capable of attracting view ratings.

Here she was, swallowing her pride to act in an unknown web-series. It was really nothing if the other party wanted to put on airs and bring down the pay.

However, to not hire her?

Who the hell was it? The one who snatched the role right out of her hands?

While Celine hit the roof, Skylar continued. “It’s nothing. It’s only a web-series so it’s fine if we didn’t get it. We can take a look at other scripts.”

“Easy for you to say!” Celine was aggravated. “It’s not like you don’t know what the situation is! Those major productions won’t even consider me whereas those unknown minor productions are either a war between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law or some third-rated cliche! Do you want me to act in those kinds of roles? Where does it put me in terms of character in the future?”

Celine had always played an innocent and elegant goddess of a public persona. The television dramas she was involved in often reflected heroine figures of high caliber.

If she were to stoop that low and act in a low-class mother and daughter-in-law combo drama, she would never be able to return playing protagonists on the big screen!

Skylar knew she made sense. In fact, if they could, they would not let this great script slip out of their hands.

“Then what do you think we should do?”

Celine drew a deep breath and took a minute before speaking in a gruff voice, “Who is playing the female lead?”

“I don’t know. Gareth won’t say. It seems that Tim picked her himself.”

“I don’t care who it is, go and check it out. I want to know who has the balls to take this role from me.”

Skylar fell silent.

In the end, she complied. “Alright, I’ll let you know once I find out.”

After the call was ended, Celine acted out her fury by smashing everything in the house.

Godd*mnit!

What a bunch of snobs!

Everyone was going against her!

Following everything being smashed and bashed, Celine finally felt she got some anger off her chest.

On the other end, Skylar quickly enquired who the new protagonist handpicked by Tim was. She was greatly astonished by the news, unable to believe her eyes.

Nell Jennings?

How could it be her?

Was she not in public relations? Why the sudden shift in career?

With this answer, even Skylar accepted the loss of this role, she could no longer keep her cool.

She gave Celine a call right away.

Celine thought her ears were deceiving her the moment she heard it was Nell who stole the role.

For a person who never acted a day in her life, why was she jumping on the bandwagon?

Was Tim blind?

He would rather use a newbie fresh to acting than her?

Worked up in fury and frustration, Celine was about to lose it.

She proceeded to smash more items in the house and finally stopped when she heard Sally’s voice coming from outside.

“Celine, what are you doing? What happened to you to be breaking everything?”

Celine cried out furiously, “It’s Nell Jennings, that b*tch! I can overlook the few times she got in my way. I can forget about the time she got ahead of me for “Chasing Wind’ but stealing a role from me? Do you know? I had my eye on a script and prepared for it. The director actually picked her over me? Don’t you think it’s a joke!”

Sally frowned. “How did it end up like this? Didn’t Skylar say that she had it in the bag for this series?”

“In the bag my *ss! She only came and told me it can’t be done after the role was taken! That Skylar Terrell sure is a piece of work. She’s really useless when it comes down to it.”

“Celine, don’t say that.” Sally tried her best to give a word of advice. “Nell, that girl, has never acted before so what does she have to show for? It’s likely that she resorted to other means to get this role!

“Ha! She should take a look in the mirror before trying to snatch your job! Even if she got the role, she would never hear the end of it if she fails. Let’s see how she fairs in the face of public criticism!”

On that note, Celine immediately came to grips with the situation.

That seemed to be the case.

By right, no one would be this stupid to hire a newbie and forgo a film star with a huge following.

It must be because Nell took a certain measure!

That’s right. That must be it!

Celine’s eyes alighted with a wicked glint.

Ha! Nell, so you want to be famous, huh?

Alright, I am going to let you have it!

As she dwelled in her thoughts, Sally blurted, “Oh, right. Didn’t the series require a supporting actress? I went through the script and this role seems to be pretty good. Even if you can’t play the lead, you can consider the supporting role!”

Celine was not having it.

“Have you lost your mind! You want to play support to Nell? She’s unworthy.”

Sally shook her head. “Don’t think of it like that. Think about it! Because of that incident, everyone believes that you’re a self-centered cruel person who would go to any lengths to achieve your goal, even if it means sacrificing your sister.

“If you play the supporting role in this web-series while Nell is the heroine, you can release to the public that you as the sister ate a humble pie and played second to her in support of Nell’s intention to join the entertainment industry.

“People will then think that Nell means a lot to you and that you’re willing to turn over a new leaf. You have better acting skills than Nell. What do you think people will say when the two of you are in the same production but you’re only a supporting actress despite your great skills while Nell got the lead role with her terrible performance?

Celine’s eyes lit up.

“They will think it is questionable for Nell to have gotten the role!

“Yes, that’s right. We can then add fuel to the fire. Ha! She’ll go down in history as vermin!”

Celine became hot with emotions.

She could already envision Nell being hated by the masses.

“Mom, you sure have the brains to think of this idea! Let me get Skylar to call Gareth for the supporting role.”

“Yes. Don’t you worry, I really read through everything. Although it’s a supporting role, there’s as many lines as the protagonist. Think of it as a dual-

protagonist series.”

“I got it.”

After it was decided, Celine immediately called Skylar.

Skylar was surprised that she was going after the supporting role.

After all, Skylar was no stranger to Celine’s character. She was not one to tuck her tail for a comeback.

Moreover, to play support to Nell?
