With a pale face, the girl said in a small voice, “I’m sorry, Miss Lynwood, I’ve gone too far. Please be the bigger
person and spare me. I’ll do whatever you say.”
She’d boasted to her classmates that she was going to be filming a drama. If they found out that she had been
kicked out, she would no longer have a place to stand in school.
Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “Whatever I say?”
“Yes, yes!”
After flipping through a few pages of the script, Elspeth noticed that the girl was playing an antagonist who was
trying to end her life by taking pills. “This won’t do. Since she’s so eager to present herself, make her fall into the
lake.”
The girl’s face immediately turned white as a sheet.
“If I fall into the lake in this weather, I might catch a cold…” she stammered, clearly frightened.
However, Elspeth only raised an eyebrow with an expression full of doubt. “What, didn’t you just say that you’d do
whatever I say? Why are you unwilling to do something as simple as jumping into a lake now?”
At her words, the girl immediately wailed noisily, nearly falling to her knees in desperation as she pleaded, “I’m
sorry, Miss Lynwood! I won’t do it again! Please don’t make me jump into the lake!”
Elspeth looked at the assistant who was whispering in Aiden’s ear earlier and noticed that he was avoiding her gaze.
Hence, she asked with a smile, “Mr. Assistant, is there anyone else who would suit this character?”
The assistant had been bribed by the girl and was about to decline, but after meeting Elspeth’s sharp gaze, he
hurriedly nodded in fright.
“Yes, yes, of course there is.”
After saying that, he pulled someone out from the crowd of actors. The girl was young with red lips and a seductive
face, making her perfect for the role of an antagonistic woman.

Elspeth glanced at the trembling girl nearby and said indifferently, “Miss, please leave the filming set right now.”
With one sentence, she easily ended the girl’s fate.
A look of hatred flashed past the girl’s eyes. After shooting a fierce look at Elspeth, she left in a huff.
Upon seeing how tactful Elspeth was to take care of such a huge problem on his behalf, Aiden suddenly felt glad
that they were working with Luminous Entertainment.
The filming proceeded as usual, and as everyone knew that the investor was here to supervise the work, there
were no more disturbances. Soon, it was noon, and Yelena came to look for Elspeth after changing out of her
costume. They had been given a two-hour break, so she decided to take Elspeth for a stroll.
“Since it’s your first time working at a place like this, I’ll take you out for a spin. Actually, if we ignore the filming,
this place really isn’t bad at all.”
Elspeth knew that this place was specially built for the purpose of filming, but she did not understand it. However,
once she went out, she was met with an antique building across the street. It was a rather… unique sight.
Upon seeing her interest, Yelena took her straight inside. In the building, a historical drama was in the works, and
both the male and female leads were dressed beautifully. Yelena had not been aware, but when she saw the people
who were currently drinking water inside, her face immediately darkened.
“Let’s go somewhere else! I don’t think we should stay here!”
Elspeth felt dubious after seeing her expression change instantly, but she instantly understood after taking a look at
the people inside. It really was a small world—they had bumped into Emma.
“Why not? She’s not the one who bought this piece of land, so why can’t we stay here and have a look?”
As long as she didn’t affect Emma’s filming, Elspeth thought it wouldn’t be a problem even if she took a nap in the
building.
Yelena pouted. “It’s mostly because I keep recalling what she said last night whenever I see her. What’s she
boasting about? She’s not even his official girlfriend, so what is she being so proud of?”
Yelena had always had a fiery temper, but she normally did not have any nemeses and would not reveal this side of
her often. However, now she was venting all of her boiling temper on Emma, and her tongue was as sharp as it
could be.
“It’s fine. You know what, I’m kind of curious about how good her acting skills are. Let’s go in and take a look.”
Yelena nodded reluctantly, and the two waltzed in.
Emma noticed Elspeth at first glance, but because she was still in the midst of filming, she could not spare Elspeth
any chatter and could only put her all into her acting, intending to show her skills off to Elspeth.
Seeing that, Elspeth chortled. “Yelena, what do you think about Emma’s acting skills?”
As Yelena was still young, her acting skills were naturally not as good as Emma, who had close to five years of
acting experience. She merely said, “Not bad, I suppose.”
In other words, she meant that Emma was extremely good.
Elspeth took a look before shaking her head. “If you ask me, I think her acting skills are just average at best. It’s
mostly her looks; it helps cover up most of her flaws.”
Elspeth had never taken part in acting before, but she had her own understanding of it, which greatly shocked
Yelena.
“Oh, uh…”
“Also, look at her posture earlier. It’s clear that she put too much power into it. And she can’t keep up her bearing
either.”
While Emma was having her break, she could hear everything that was being discussed around her.
Immediately, she spat angrily, “Does Elspeth know what she’s talking about? She hasn’t even acted before and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe’s talking about how bad my acting skills are?”
Next to her, her manager joined in on her barrage and said, “She’s just an outsider who knows nothing about
acting. Just take her as someone who’s arrogant and spewing nonsense.”
However, Emma did not want to leave things as they were. She instantly rose to her feet and walked toward
Elspeth.
“Elspeth, I heard you said that I’m bad at acting.”
Not expecting her to find out about her short critic from earlier, Elspeth burst into laughter. “I didn’t say you were
bad. I just meant that you needed more practice.”
“What do you know about acting? Have you acted before? Have you attended an acting academy? You don’t know
a thing about acting, yet you’re here picking at my acting skills. Elspeth, you’re just jealous that I’m more
outstanding than you!”
However, to Elspeth, her words meant that she had hit her weak spot.
She spread her arms and admitted, “Indeed. Those things that you just mentioned, I have none of them.”
Hearing that, Emma scoffed coldly. “I know, so hurry up and apologize to me, or I won’t let you go.”
How arrogant and presumptuous… Did Callum really fall for someone like her in the past?
Elspeth sneered inwardly. She lifted her head to look at Emma and commented in a calm voice, “When I said your
postures were too powerful, I wasn’t fooling around.”
Emma’s eyes grew wide. “What postures?”
“When you looked affectionately into the male lead’s eyes earlier, you could’ve slightly lowered your head to better
express your coyness, and it suits the reserved personalities of women from ancient times more as well. However,
you just stared at him boldly, so much so that he even forgot his lines.”
As she spoke, Elspeth felt like bursting into laughter.
“Real acting is capable of bringing your audience into your shoes so that it would be more complementary and
genuine. Pray tell, Miss Walker, have you achieved that?”
