By the time Caroline turned for a look, the woman was already gone. She couldn't help but ask a nearby staff member, "Who was that just now?"The staff member scratched their head awkwardly. "She's one of the selection committee members. Sorry, I'm bad with faces, so I don't know which judge she is."Caroline smiled and said, "Thank you."She didn't ask the staff member any more questions. Once they got to the seats, she went to the area reserved for managers under the staff's member's guidance. There were only a few people there. They were probably the managers of the minor celebrities. When they saw Caroline's unfamiliar face, they didn't come forward to greet her.Caroline didn't feel like exchanging pleasantries, either. She checked her phone instead. Other than a message from Cheryl, no one had tried to contact her.Caroline hadn't even told Gwen about the divorce. After all, Gwen was in a bad place in her love life now, too. Besides, because of her parents, she had alw

Soon, the curtains onstage lifted. The selection committee members all took their seats. Only Marietta's seat remained empty.Caroline really liked this renowned playwright, especially her cutting language style. It always drew her interest. That was why she was so excited to see Marietta. She tried her best to focus on Marietta's seat, but her gaze still automatically drifted to the person next to her. The man beside her still had his legs on her thighs. With the lights dimmed in the theater, others might think that their legs were only pressed together, but Caroline knew how much contact Kirk had with her.A memory played like a movie in her head. Caroline used up all her energy not to look over at Kirk in her peripheral vision. Why was it so hard?She remembered that it hadn't been so hard when she had had to forget Eddy before. As Caroline's thoughts were in a mess, a flurry of footsteps came from behind them. She took a breath and turned her head toward the source of

Onstage, the first few people to audition were the minor celebrities. They probably hadn't even taken a single glance at the script. They made a mess of the audition. After watching a few of these auditions, Caroline lost interest in watching more.Marietta was the same. Backstage, Daphne was also watching the performances. Seeing how badly the others were doing, she finally relaxed. She looked at Sonia, who was still memorizing her lines, and said mockingly, "No matter how well you do or how well you know the lines, I'll still be the star of the show. That's why …"Daphne got up and walked behind Sonia. Purposefully bending down, she said in Sonia's ear, "Having skills is useless. The best is to get a backer."Sonia looked up and frowned. "Ms. Dawson, you're disturbing me."Daphne immediately slapped the script out of Sonia's grip. "What's the act for? I'm telling you now. If you hadn't been popular right now, I would have had you blacklisted. Do you believe that?"Sonia sw

Daphne wanted to become a world-renowned star through this role in "Daughter of the Sea". That way, maybe she could become Kirk's real wife."Are we ready to start?"Seeing the specially chosen actress standing on the stage without starting even after a long while, Marietta couldn't help but frown.Daphne quickly gathered her drifting thoughts. With a smile, she answered, "Yes."As she said this, she walked to the center of the stage and bowed before starting her performance.Since Marietta's script had to be kept extremely confidential, all the celebrities had only been given a sample portion. One of the scenes involved the main character, Grace Fawkes, overseas and accidentally discovering she wasn't an orphan. Instead, her mother was still alive and actually living in the same country. With the help of her boyfriend, Grace finally found her mother.Faced with the mother who had been absent for more than 20 years, Grace couldn't find it in her to forgive her. After an argum

Right then, Daphne completed her performance onstage. Marietta nodded shallowly, obviously not quite pleased with Daphne's performance.Indeed, that was what she thought. Since Daphne had been internally decided to get the role, this made Marietta sure that Daphne couldn't act at all. She didn't expect that Daphne could actually act. Although she wasn't that good, she was still better than some others.But when Marietta looked at Daphne's face …Marietta held back her myriad dissatisfactions. In any case, there were many flaws in this script. She was determined to write something new later on. She would consider this work not to be her own.With that thought, Marietta could accept Daphne. Seeing Marietta nodding, a look of joy lit up in Daphne's eyes. She bowed before leaving the stage.Sonia was next to perform.Caroline looked up and focused all her attention on the stage. She ignored Kirk. Kirk had no choice but to follow her line of sight and look toward the stage a

As soon as the producer gave his statement, several celebrities present took a harsh breath and looked over at the unfortunate Sonia. A few people even whispered among themselves."Isn't this equivalent to partially banning her from the industry?"Collins Group was now working with Eddy's second uncle, so their reach in the industry was more than doubled. Right now, Collins Group was involved in just about any TV show or movie, and their authority in the entertainment industry was nearly similar to that of the Morrisons."How sad." Someone knowledgeable whispered, "I heard Sonia's manager didn't support her decision to join this audition.""Why is she still here if her manager doesn't approve?""I heard her financial benefactor insisted on her coming.""Do you mean Caroline?""Yeah.""So Sonia is here because Caroline said so? She's really compliant. Can Caroline even be trusted? "Even her choice to endorse Sonia was a shot in the dark, and she happened to be lucky that S

Ignoring everyone's gazes, Caroline looked at Marietta. Earlier, Marietta had constantly been on the move, so Caroline hadn't had the chance to look at her properly. But now she finally had the opportunity to do so.That sense of familiarity between them became stronger when Marietta met Caroline's gaze. She felt a sense of tenderness as she looked at Caroline. She unknowingly softened her tone. "What's your name, miss?"Caroline returned to her senses. "Caroline Evans."For some reason, Marietta felt a tinge of disappointment when she heard her name. But soon, she asked kindly, "Why did you change my script?"Caroline explained, "Because I think Grace wouldn't have been unphased when she found out that her mother had been relentlessly looking for her all these years."A tinge of emotion appeared in Marietta's eyes when she heard her words. She spoke tremblingly, "Y-you think Grace wouldn't hate her mother?""I'm not too sure about that." Caroline said, "But as her daughter

The producer took advantage of the situation and said hurriedly, "This is Ms. Caroline Evans. In addition to being the CEO of Evans Group, she also has a good relationship with Mr. Eddy."He was telling the truth. She was Eddy's former fiancée. However, Marietta didn't care much about this. What she really admired was Caroline's courage to stand up to authority. She took out a business card and handed it to Caroline. "This is my business card. I'm currently writing a new book. I’m not sure if you would give me the honor of becoming my first reader?"Caroline's eyes lit up, and she said, "It would be my pleasure, Ms. Weiss.""So then we agree. Remember to contact me when the time comes, and I'll give you a sample.""Okay." Caroline nodded.Marietta glanced at Sonia on the stage again. "I still think Ms. Sonia's performance is more in line with my vision of Grace."As soon as she said these words, gasps sounded through the venue.The producer hurriedly looked at Sonia on the s
