“Don't worry, I'll live for you, get back what's yours, and make those who abandoned, betrayed, and deceived you pay for it.”The dull ache in her chest lingered for three seconds before disappearing. Eulalia never thought that three years after her death, she'd end up possessing her own "substitute."Thinking about dealing with these men again, Eulalia looked up at the sky through the window and murmured, "God, I don't want to be stuck in this cycle."Life had already dealt its hand. Since she couldn’t avoid it, she had to face how to overcome the obstacles in front of her. To make sure these people couldn’t threaten her, she had to grow quickly while they weren’t paying attention. The only fortunate thing at the moment was that Trent had given up on this body, and Percival wasn’t interested in her.Eulalia opened Telegram. Mr. Cylus, her agent, had sent her ten messages."Eulalia, what are you posting on social media? Are you trying to commit suicide again? Can you use your brain fo
The agent finally felt satisfied after hearing her agree. Before hanging up, he softly reminded her to put on some makeup and not be late for the 2 PM audition.Eulalia outwardly agreed but couldn’t help a mocking laugh inside. Makeup for an audition? Do they think she’s an idiot?Besides, her original makeup skills were terrible, and the company’s style for her was “mature and seductive.” She was just over 20, how mature could she be? And seductive? It ended up looking like a mess.People these days judge by appearance. “Riley” with her heavy smoky makeup and bright red lipstick, the thick makeup covered her naturally pretty face. She had a great figure but lacked the aura of a mature woman. Wearing revealing clothes made her look awkward and desperate.Eulalia checked her wardrobe and found a white shirt and jeans. She braided her hair, put on sunglasses and a mask, ensuring she wouldn’t be recognized before heading out.Small-time fame is nurtured, big-time fame depends on luck.Th
Eulalia didn't want to mess up by mistaking someone again. After all, a mistake in her previous life had ruined her and cost her life.Eulalia stared at the photo on Jane's phone, pushing down the sourness in her eyes."Eula, are you okay?" Jane asked cautiously. Even with her usually thick nerves, she could tell something was off with Eulalia.Eulalia shook her head, "I just want to meet this person." Her voice was a bit hoarse, with a touch of frustration."That might be tough."Victor Truex was a movie king, with tens of millions of fans and a reputation as the "most wanted husband," while Eulalia was only a minor star.Tough? Not really. As long as someone is alive, you can meet them.During those years by Percival’s side, Eulalia learned one thing: with ability, you can not only control your own life but also others’.Eulalia refocused her attention on the script in her hands.Jane was puzzled and softly said, "Eula, the movie king recently joined a show called 'Actor's Arrival.'
But now, Eulalia’s eyes were sharp. Standing quietly by the window with sunlight spilling in, she glowed even more than the light.Even someone as picky as Reid had to admit that Eulalia had caught his eye. Such a face could be called a vase, but he thought, maybe in a future drama that needed a character to play dead, Eulalia would be perfect lying in a coffin as a background prop."Hello, I'm Eulalia Clearwater, here to audition for the role of Bodil." Eulalia's voice was cool and clear, snapping Mr. Reid out of his thoughts.Reid asked directly, "Have you read the script?""I have.""Then act out the scene where Bodil dies."Bodil dies in prison, after enduring all kinds of torture: her fingers crushed, her body covered in burns. Driven mad by the pain, she meets the heroine Yanet one last time, cursing her with blood in her mouth. It's the climax of the entire drama, very impactful.Everyone thought Mr. Reid was being difficult by asking Eulalia to perform this scene. After all, t
The place fell silent like a graveyard.Reid was the first to snap out of it. He hadn’t expected Eulalia to have such a powerful presence, bursting out like she’d broken free from some kind of restraint. Her eyes were filled with murderous hatred, and she looked like a vengeful spirit crawling out of hell.Some people are just born for the camera.Eulalia's performance was so intense that only the great Victor Truex might be able to match it without being overshadowed.Reid watched Eulalia's eyes through the camera and felt chills all over. No one had ever shocked him like this before.Even more terrifying, it had been twenty seconds, and no one else had reacted yet.Evette, who was acting opposite her, sat on the ground, trembling and pale, looking like she was stuck in a nightmare she couldn’t escape.Eulalia had completely dominated the scene, effortlessly leading everyone astray with her performance.Whoever said Eulalia was a hack, or that she couldn't act, must have been out of
"Clear your schedule for the next while and get ready to play Crissy."Wait, did she just land the role? Eulalia was confident she could nail Crissy's part, but she never thought Mr. Reid would pick her straight away.In this industry, it's all about the money, not talent. They don't care how well you act, just if you can bring in the bucks. With Eulalia's tarnished reputation and bad press, even she wouldn't hire herself for the lead role.The role of Crissy was too captivating, better than the protagonist Yanet. The audience might have a hard time accepting Eulalia in this part.The producer was still reeling from Eulalia's performance. Watching her sit down, he almost wanted to kneel and call her "Your Majesty."When Reid declared Eulalia as the second lead, the producer snapped back to reality, startled. If it weren't for the setting, he might have throttled Reid. He whispered urgently, "Mr. Reid, what are you thinking? That's Eulalia Clearwater.""I know who she is.""She has a l
Jane was in shock and couldn't believe it even after they got back. Eulalia, who had initially auditioned for a vicious supporting role, ended up securing the role of the cherished second female lead. Jane was dying to know what had happened in the audition room, but no matter how much she asked, Eulalia wouldn’t spill a word."Eula, I feel like you’ve changed so much. It’s like you’re a different person," Jane said, unable to contain her curiosity.Eulalia put on her mask and sunglasses. Hearing Jane's murmurs, she paused and looked up at the bright sky. "No, I've always been like this..." she said. Yes, she should be like this, the proud Eulalia who could overcome any challenge.She shouldn't be the Eulalia who lost everything for love. Loving someone should include self-love, a lesson she knew as a child but somehow forgot as she grew up. She learned the hard way that if you want to catch the l
Eulalia got up at 6 AM, went for a jog, and then came back to shower and make breakfast. Her previous life experience with stomach cancer taught her the importance of maintaining a healthy routine and eating on time. She remembered how she used to prepare elaborate meals for Percival, only to be met with disappointment and illness instead of his company. Reflecting on this, she couldn't help but think she had been quite foolish.At 9 AM, she received a call from the delivery guy to pick up a package. After getting the code, she put on a jacket, sunglasses, and a mask. On weekdays, her neighborhood wasn't very busy, mostly just elderly people exercising and moms with kids. She picked up her package, took it back to her apartment, and opened it to find a bunch of small parts. After some assembly, she ended up with a device about the length of a finger. She clipped this newly assembled gadget into her hair, where it looked like an ordinary hairpin and wouldn’t attract attention.With limi
