Susan’s POV:Hallie could be said to be the star today. She always had good grades in school, so she could sit in the fourth row.Professional judges would be seated in the first row, and the representatives of the clothing companies were arranged to sit in the second or third rows.Parents and students are in the fourth row and behind.George and I sit beside Hallie in the fourth row.At this moment, George was looking around.I knew he was trying to find Ailina. Regardless of how angry he was, Ailina was his biological daughter, and he was still concerned about her.I looked at George whose eyes were wandering and poked Hallie, signaling her to speak.“Dad, I don’t think I saw sister. You said last night that you wouldn’t attend her graduation ceremony. So she probably got angry. Why don’t you call her and tell her that you are here and let her sit with us?” Hallie seemed to be considerate and suggested.However, George snorted. “So wilful. If she doesn’t want to graduate, then don’
Lisa’s POV:Every backstage was handled by me.When Mike picked up the microphone and began to introduce his work, I could get a short break and casualty flipped through the other entries.At that moment, when I saw Ailina’s graduation project, my eyes widened.I had never seen such a design before. At first glance, I only felt that it was a painting of a peony. However, when I took a closer look, she realized that it was a dress…The designer perfectly combined the concept of traditional painting and the dress together. It was simply too beautiful.I am also a designer, so I appreciate designs like this. Without a few or even a dozen years of learning, one would not make such a magnificent work. Most importantly, the person who draws this must have a good grip on traditional paintings.Whether the color or the composition, it was so harmonious and top-notch.I took a deep breath.I was clear about the relationship between Hallie Wilson and Ailina Wilson. ‘Perhaps, I could use this to
Susan’s POV:After returning to her seat from the bathroom, Hallie said to George. “Dad, when I went to the bathroom just now, I saw my sister here!”“Oh, it appear that she know it is a big day for her and she cares about this ceremony after all.”George snorted. “Then, why didn’t she come out to find us?”Hallie hesitated momentarily and said, “I saw a woman sitting by my sister’s side. She may be an importer who hired my sister to play as her parents. It seemed that even if my sister wants to attend the commencement, she doesn’t want you to accompany her. She would rather spend money to hire…”“Alright, Hallie stop.” Seeing that George’s face was getting more twisted, I knew that Hallie had to be stopped. If she continued, George would inevitably find she intently sabotaging his relationship with Alina.Hallie shut her mouth and I comforted George. “George, Ailina was just bummed out about the previous decision. You don’t have to take it personally. She is steal your daughter!”“Hmp
Hallie’s POV:When I saw the scores, I couldn’t help but smile. I had outshone those students. Their highest score was only 70, but mine was 89.I bowed to everyone with a light smile on my cheeks. “Thank you for your acknowledgement of me. I will keep working hard.”The boss of the company sitting in the second row stood up from his seat. “Is this talent wanting to work in the Imperial clothing?”The other companies also stood up and threw an olive branch at me.“Miss, our company is willing to hire you directly as a designer with a high salary.”I stood on the stage, cocky. My hand holding the microphone trembled slightly because of sheer excitement.The students below also began to whisper. “Hallie is so good. Am I right? But she has changed her design into traditional style recently.”“I used to think that her design was pretty boring, but she was very diligent. As expected, diligence is still the way to become someone great. Look at how much progress she had made now.”Noticing t
Maria’s POV:On this stage was a little girl performs sand painting. Just as she was about to finish her performance, a busy assistant teacher came over and said that the last set of designs was missing.I frowned. “What? It’s gone? It just disappeared out of thin air?”The assistant teacher only kept her down and remained silent.I went backstage to look up the drafts with the teaching assistant and kept asking, “Who exactly came to the backstage before?”The assistant teachers looked at each other, and the last girl stood up and said, “Only Miss Disuza passed by.”Naturally, they didn’t dare to say that it was Christine who had taken the design away. But they could only tell the truth. Indeed, when Christine chased Miranda, she passed by the backstage.I frowned and said to Lisa, “Lisa, get the surveillance to me.”Lisa went to the monitoring room directly.I ran to Miranda. I would suspect Christine, but I would expect Miranda.Miranda had never liked Ailina and the last night she
Hallie’s POV:This dress was also designed strapless. However, the strapless style was not the same as the current dress, which made it look like a traditional dress.The neckline was also shaped like a flower petal. The flower petals were open, which corresponded to the hem of the skirt. It would also make the upper body of the weaker look petite. The open flower petals could cover her arms and could effectively cover her jiggly arms and supplementary breasts.It was obvious this dress was not designed for the model, but also it would be comfortable for ordinary people.This was not only a gown, it was more like a traditional gown. However, it is also less burdensome and more refreshing. Every corner of the skirt seemed made of petals.Most importantly, the sand painting becomes a moving picture under her hand. The girl danced in such a skirt like a peony flower, and the flower bud to opening, then to withering, sometimes shy, sometimes delicate, sometimes sad, which caused every aud
Ailina’s POV:The host smiled and said to Lillian, “Hello. You are Ailina’s companion. May I ask, who are you? You should not be an elder at such a young age, right?”She looked at me with a smile and said, “I am her aunt.”The host immediately complimented me. “You are really well-maintained. You look like a sister with Ailina?”She smiled. “Thank you.”“Then Ailina won the award today, do you have to say?” The host handed the microphone to Lillian.Standing on the stage, she thought for a while, and said, “I’m very grateful and happy for Ailina’s achievements today. This is the result of her hard work and her talent. Her mother passed away early. I only hope that she can grow up happily and lively. No matter what choice she makes, I will support her.”I looked at Lillian and felt inexplicably cordial, thinking, ‘If Mom was alive, the one standing here today should be Mom. She would have said the same words, right? Mom never forced me to do anything. She would not stop me from doing
Ailina’s POV:Lillian’s tone was half coaxing and half pleading. She was very kind, which made me unable to refuse her. I could only take the skirt and enter the fitting room.Standing in the fitting room, I looked at myself in the mirror. It was hard to imagine how I could go shopping with a woman I had just known for a day, and I actually felt intimate.I smiled and shook my head, thinking, ‘It has been long since I had felt maternal love, so let me enjoy this time.’I started to try on the skirt. This skirt is a little complicated to wear. I usually didn’t wear a skirt, so it took me some time to try it on.After coming out of the fitting room, I saw that Lillian was not in the shop. I looked in the mirror. This was a dress covered in sequins. It was easy for others to focus on me. I didn’t like it very much.I wanted to change my clothes, but I was afraid that Lillian would come back and say that she didn’t see it. And she might want me to try again, so I could only take a few pic
Harold’s POV:The first scene is of a noble consort meeting a general.“Action.”Ailina’s performance was still steady. She handled her facial expression properly and even added more little finger movements.I looked at the way she integrated herself into the role and felt chill. My so-called performance was only performed with skills, but Ailina seemed to have poured all her feelings into it, and she could still control them freely. It seemed that her acting skills had reached a certain level.I tried my best to calm myself down, afraid that I would not be able to keep up with the play last time.Fortunately, this time I had put in all my efforts and played a scene with Ailina.I took a step back, lifted my robe, and knelt on both knees. My body was bent, but my back was still straight.”“Thank you for your, Grace.” I bowed respectfully and recited my numb voice. “Thank you. for your Grace.”However, when I looked up again, there was a light in my eyes. It seemed that the Imperial Co
Ailina’s POV:After I put on my makeup, I took the script that I had changed and told Jane that I had changed the lines. She read the revised lines and nodded, saying, “These changes seem to make the script better.”“Then I will act according to the revised script.” She said.“Okay.”After the script was finalized, the makeup of the others was almost done. The filming began.This novel was narrated from the end. It was about a beautiful and kind woman who tried to live a calm and simple life, but she encountered many things. And finally, she reluctantly joined the killer organization.She was no longer kind and used her wisdom and determination to gain the trust of men. She dealt carefully with men and gained a great deal of power.Jane decides to shoot along the development of the novel. In the beginning, the female lead succeeded in being a high-ranking imperial concubine.There would be three scenes at first, which were a conversation between the female lead and the male lead, the
Ailina’s POV:On the first day, I entered the group, all the staff were allocating room. Because I like to be quiet, Jane arranged in the innermost room for me, separated from the other by a glass door.Clara’s room was outside the glass door. She said jealous, “The female lead room is different from ours. She doesn’t even have one. Stay with us. She is superior.”I ignored them and moved my things into my room.However, she continued, “She gets these things because she is the female lady, or something else?”Then the other actress came out. Some actresses who were close to Clara, “It is said that Mr. White is Ailina’s sugar daddy, but Mr. White denies it. I think that there is something wrong with them. I heard that Mr. White went bankrupt. Did Mr. White go to make it clear because of this?”“I think it’s possible. It seemed that Mr. White loved Ailina a lot. He knows that he’s going to bankrupt and break up with his lover so that she can find another financial banker in the future.”
James’ POV:I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the restaurant with Anaya.I had a bad meal. Firstly, I didn’t like the dishes, Anaya ordered. Secondly, I always thought about Jenny’s expression in the parking lot and wanted to go to the boxing club to have a look.“I am done, you?” Anaya asked.I nodded, Me too. You have not eaten much?”She gently wiped her mouth with a napkin and smiled, “Girls need to maintain our figure. So we just eat a little.”“Really?” I recall that Jenny ate all she liked.“Well, do you know how to do boxing? I asked Anaya, suddenly“No. Could you do it?” she denied.“I can. Do you want to take a look?” I asked and continued after a while. “It’s good for girls to learn boxing. It can protect you and lose weight. I am not saying that you are fat. It can strengthen your body.”She said with a smile. “Then I will go with you to take a look. Could you teach me?”I nodded, “Alight, let’s go.”Thus, we headed towards the Boxing Club.After changing clothes, I
James’ POV:Anaya smiled and threw her car key to the mall manager.Then, she held me and took the elevator upstairs.Anaya took the initiative to hold me. I was secretly happy. I turned my head and asked, “You have not eaten yet, right? What do you want to eat?”She said, “I am here for a beauty saloon. But if you have not eaten, I can eat with you.”I nodded, “I have not eaten yet. I’ll book a restaurant then.”“Sure.” She immediately nodded.I quickly made a call and booked a more stylish restaurant.We sat down. Just as we were ordering, my phone rang again. It was a call from the manager. “Mr. James, it didn’t work. She doesn’t want money for compensation. She wants to park the car here. What do you think we should do?”I was stunned and puzzled that there was someone who didn’t want money.In my impression only that tom
Jenny’s POV:After a few days of preparation, Ailina was also officially involved.I called her, “Ailina, do you need an assistant? I see other artists bringing assistants. You are the heroine and isn't inappropriate not to be one.”“I don’t want to. It’s too troublesome.” She replied indifferently. “It’s only two or three months. You have to handle the affairs in JK for these two or three months. Thank you.”I pretended to scold her. “It seems that I don’t usually handle those affairs. You are a good absentee leader. Now you even say such a word.”“Never mind. Isn’t this representative of a big boss? I was just saying that to be nice.” Ailina laughed. ‘It feels really good.”“Well, since you don’t need an assistant, you go by yourself. I am short of hands now. Call me if you need anything.” I said.“I se
Lewis’ POV:I was stunned for a moment, “What chance? I haven’t had any new plays recently. I am still in deep trouble with ‘Joy of Life’.”“It’s ‘Joy of Life’ the film version. Director Jane will shoot the film version of ‘Joy of Life.’ I didn’t get the heroine in the previous play, so I want to act as the heroine in the film version. Jane seems to have already decided on the heroine. Could you put a good word for me with Director Jane? You know, I love acting. My acting skills are personally taught by you. This role is really important to me. Director Lewis, please help me.” Anya pleaded with me.I touched my head. “Well, Anya, you have been in the circle for so long. You should know the rules. The directors usually do not interfere with each other when other choose roles.”Hearing this. Anya’s instantly face turned pale.I comforted her, “
Anya’s POV:I looked at myself in the mirror and touched my face. I immediately took out the makeup remover and took my makeup off.Looking at my slightly exhausted face, I was no longer as pure and fresh as I was back then. My eyes were a little dull, and there were a few wrinkles on my face.I suddenly covered my face and cried. “I can’t go back. I am no longer the original Anya.”The two stylish looked at me in a daze. They were both a little confused about why a first-rate celebrity was so unhappy.John said to them, “You guys leave. I want to talk to Anya.”After the stylish left, he held his hand and said, “Anya one wants you to go back to the past. You don’t want to go back to the past, right?”I nodded and replied, “I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to live like that anymore. I don’t want to be bullied again. I don’t want to have a walk on
Anya’s POV:I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “John, I am sorry. I am just too nervous. I have not worked for half a year; I am just waiting for a ‘Joy of Life.’ My whole year will be wasted if I can’t get the female leading in the film. If an actress doesn’t appear in front of the public for a long time, people will soon forget her. I have been working so hard to become who I am today. I don’t want to give up and I can’t give up.”John also felt sorry for me. He patted me lightly and said, “I know. I know all of this. Anya, we have no choice now. We have failed to take down Ailina. I think you should ask Director Lewis for help. After all, you were once his chief female lead. He will at least give you a face. It is said that he has a good relationship with Director Jane. So go beg Director Lewis to plead for you.”I said through gritted teeth, “Director Lewis is related to Ailina. It was clear when at the scene of ‘Lowering the Bid. Can’t you tell that?”“Then what do you
