Chapter 65: Inexplicable Hostility

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Only a few months had passed since Audrey’s transmigration, yet she had already found herself unavoidably crossing paths with Elena.

In the original story, Audrey and Elena had engaged in fierce rivalry, vying for valuable opportunities in the entertainment industry. Their relationship had deteriorated to the point where they were like oil and water.

The outcome was predictable. Under the radiant glow of the male and female leads, Audrey was relegated to the role of cannon fodder. Not only had she repeatedly been outdone by the female lead, but her failures in the struggle for family assets had led her to be exiled to Africa by her brother, Abner…

Well, it could only be said that the original owner’s fate was undeniably tragic.

Audrey remained in a daze, her gaze fixed on Elena’s back for an extended moment. Only when she rose to audition for her own role did Audrey, as if awakening from a reverie, turn to Anna and inquire, “Elena… Could it be that she’s also auditioning for the second female lead?”

Was she a competitor?

Anna’s eyes lit up. “Sis, what nonsense are you thinking? She’s auditioning for the female lead role.”

Female… Female lead?

Audrey was immediately stunned.

Even with her substantial transformation, she couldn’t evade a direct encounter with Elena. The inexplicable hostility in Elena’s gaze had not escaped her notice.

Audrey sighed.

Forget it. Since she was here, she would take things as they came. After all, she had already altered numerous seemingly insurmountable aspects of her life. Who could guarantee that she would still be relegated to the role of cannon fodder in this new life?

Audrey was resolute in her commitment to rewrite her life.

One by one, the auditions were called, and by the time it was Audrey’s turn, it was already noon.

Audrey entered the audition room, spotting Daniel already seated to the side. She nodded in acknowledgment.

Soon, she realized that the director was none other than Dean.

Audrey felt a twinge of delight upon recognizing her second brother’s close friend. As for Dean, he exuded a professional air. He yawned and said, “Miss Audrey, isn’t it? Please proceed.”

Audrey was auditioning for the role of the second female lead dethroned from her lofty position.

Martha’s reign as queen had lasted merely three days when her own brother seized the throne. The turmoil of indignation and resentment that engulfed her in her final moments teetered on the brink of madness. Audrey, having dedicated an entire night to contemplating Martha’s emotional shifts and psychological complexities, started her performance when facing the director and the others.

Dean, unfamiliar with Audrey, pondered the situation in the drama and decided to seek Eric’s opinion.

Eric’s response was succinct, “There’s no need for special consideration. If she possesses the talent, the role is destined to be hers.”

Due to Audrey’s previous behavior, which had not been particularly endearing, Dean had initially prepared to go through the motions, harboring low expectations for her impending performance. However, it didn’t take long for Dean to be pleasantly surprised as he witnessed Audrey’s talent unfold.

Audrey demonstrated an exceptionally precise understanding of Martha’s character. As the realization that her throne was on the verge of slipping away overcame her, her lovely eyes brimmed with tears, and her agony and fury reached their crescendo, culminating in heart-wrenching sobs.

Dean couldn’t help but clap his hands in praise.

“Well done!” echoed the others in the room as they joined in the applause.

Audrey’s attire for the day perfectly matched Martha’s persona. Dean appeared very content with her performance, though his expression remained impassive. He stated in an indifferent tone, “Go back and wait for the notification. We will inform you in three days if you passed the audition.”

Audrey nodded with a smile. She looked a little funny as there were still faint remnants of tears.

Daniel, while pleased with Audrey’s performance, couldn’t shake the thought of the formidable competition that had turned up for auditions. He could only say, “It’s excellent if you secure this role, but if not, it’s not a problem. We’ll find another one for you when the time comes.

Audrey nodded. “Got it.”

Upon returning home in the evening, Audrey noticed the gift box on the table and remembered that she had forgotten to hand it over to Evans.

Initially, Audrey had considered having Abner, being closer to Evans, deliver the gift. However, upon reflection, she wondered if it might come across as insincere if she delegated this task to her brother.

The more she contemplated it, the more torn she felt. Eventually, Audrey lay on her bed and reached for her phone.

She sent the message asking if Evans was available and Evans replied her very quickly.

Evans: ?

Evans’ answer was very concise. It could be said that he cherished his words like gold.

Audrey couldn’t help but chuckle, recognizing the resemblance in Evans’s mannerisms to her brother, the CEO Abner. They truly were cut from the same cloth.

Audrey carefully composed and edited her message in the chat box, finally sending an enigmatic sentence:

[My brother wants to see you..]
