Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1467 Shedrick said, âSure enough, good actors will only be able to perform well if they have experienced the situation themselves. By the way, since youâre not saying anything, Iâll⦠ask Cindy to come back. Iâll tell her that itâs your decision, okay?â
âYouâre good at shifting the responsibility to me, huh?â Chester expressed a sense of sarcasm.
âAhem. Do I have any other choice? Everyone knows that sheâs your woman. How can I manage her?â
Shedrick said embarrassedly, âWhy donât you tell her in person?â
âNo need. I donât want to say such harsh things to her.â
Chester hung up the call.
On the set.
After Eliza finished her lunch, she leaned idly on the chair to rest.
Leanne quickly advised her, âDonât rest anymore.
The shoot thatâs scheduled this afternoon is about to begin. Although youâve managed to convince Director Cheever with your acting this morning, he dislikes snobbish actors.â
âYouâre overthinking it. I just feel that⦠I might not be able to shoot this afternoon.â Eliza lazily took a bottle of mineral water and sipped on it.
Leanne was stunned. âWhy?â Elizaâs exquisite lips curled up.
At this moment, the door of her lounge was kicked open.
Cindy walked in with exasperation. âEliza, what a scheming woman you are!â
âWhat are you saying?â Eliza tilted her head with an innocent look.
âStop pretending!â Cindy roared, âYou deliberately dolled yourself up to shoot with me. You outperformed me in every way so that Director Cheever would switch out my role as the female lead.
My company has called me back because youâre now the female lead of the movie.â
Leanne gaped and cast a look at Eliza. It finally dawned on her why Eliza said she might not be able to shoot this afternoon.
Eliza smiled faintly. âWas I the one who caused you to act worse than me? Was I the one who caused you to be born with an uglier face than mine?â
âYouâ¦â Cindy glowered at her viciously. After a while, she snorted. âEliza, donât think that you can rise to the top just because youâre the female lead now. Let me tell you that Iâm going to marry Chester, the man who dominates half of the entertainment industry. No matter how high you climb, I can destroy you anytime. Iâll keep todayâs incident in mind. Since you made a move on me, Iâll make you regret it.â
âHavenât you already kept it in mind since this morningâs incident?â
Elizaâs eyes turned grim. âYou deliberately asked them to place me in a hotel at a remote place and get me a shabby car to make me late. You also bribed the crew from the production and costume departments. Even my lounge was worse than the third supporting actressâ lounge. Cindy, youâre so skilled at being a bully even before you marry into the Jewell family.â
âWell, you deserve all this, â Cindy said coldly, âIâve never seen such a shameless person like you who seduces someone elseâs fiancé.â
âYou sound as if you have a sense of shame.â
Eliza remained on the chair without bothering to get up. Although she had to lift her head to look at Cindy, she still displayed a strong aura. âAt least I gained a foothold in the entertainment industry with my acting. What about you? As a singer, you plagiarized your former best friendâs works. As an actress, could you have won the award if Chester hadnât pulled some strings? To be honest, why do you want to be an actress? You might as well serve Chester well on the bed. Perhaps heâll be able to buy you the best actress award next year.â
Leanne quaked in her boots as she gazed at Elizaâs frosty expression.
How audacious of Eliza to have a row with Cindy.
âWell done, Eliza. Iâll remember every word you said and let Chester know about it. With that, your acting career will end here.â Cindy turned around while trembling. Having trained herself to be calm and sensible for years, she did not attack Eliza in the end.
She just kicked the door of the lounge violently when she left.
