Chapter 171 Cut Their Losses

The show began.In the beginning, things were relatively okay. Charlotte took a deep breath, and when she reached the front of the stage, some audience members in the front row left after seeing that she wasn't Jessica. The expressions of the actors sharing the stage with her became increasingly unpleasant.Charlotte maintained her pace, neither too fast nor too slow. The plot progressed, but so did the departure of the audience."What kind of performance is this? It's far worse than Jessica's!""They're promoting newcomers? I'm speechless!""Can you guys keep it down? Just watch the play. Stop making a fuss!"The audiences for stage plays were divided in their reactions to actors. Some focused solely on the quality of the play and acting, while others had developed habits of following a particular actor, refusing to accept any others.Unfortunately, the audience for 'Looking West to the Capital' fell into the latter category. Only one or two out of ten were casual viewers. The

Chapter 172 Storage Room

"Should we start working on a new play?" Charlotte asked, hoping to give Suzanne a way out.Suzanne hesitated for a moment. Charlotte nodded and continued, "I suggest you quickly select a theme. Choose something simple and popular. First, stabilize your relationship with the owner before continuing your war with Jessica."The situation shifted from winning or losing a bet to Suzanne's value. That was what the owner cared about now."I'm an artist..." Suzanne began to argue.Charlotte interrupted her firmly. "You have a group of people here who need to make a living."With this statement, Charlotte silenced Suzanne's objections. She glanced at the room full of newcomers and sighed."Okay, we can work on a new play..." Suzanne reluctantly agreed.Seeing her compromise, Charlotte felt more at ease. She nodded and suggested, "Contact the person in charge of scheduling and see which plays are popular."At that moment, a young actress named Mary Clay timidly raised her hand and said,

Chapter 173 Can We Meet Tonight?

The group led by Suzanne originally had seventeen members, but now only six remained.One was a makeup artist named Daisy Kruger, who had been slapped by Jessica before. At that time, Suzanne had stood up for her, which had wholly offended Jessica. Grateful to Suzanne, this young woman chose to stay.The remaining five consisted of four interns and one woman who usually had a minor role. The woman in the minor role was named Lucy Barber, a beautiful girl with long hair who was quite gentle.As soon as they closed the door to the room, Suzanne sat in a corner, feeling sad and unable to accept the changes. Meanwhile, the interns cleaned up the place.Lucy calmly counted the crew and joked, "If we perform 'Snow White,' we'd have just the right number of people. Charlotte could play Snow White, and we could be the dwarves."One intern said, "But Suzanne is a bit old for that."Suzanne cast a faint glance at them. The interns were taken aback and fell silent.Charlotte leaned back in

Chapter 174 Which Dwarf Are You Playing

The man's voice was deep on the other end of the phone. His slightly hoarse voice sounded impatient as he provided an address."Come to the Riverside Mansion."Charlotte speculated that he must have been sleeping, as his voice sounded exhausted. She packed a bag of props and prepared to deal with the details later that night.Today, she didn't drive, so she had to take a taxi to Riverside Mansion. On the way, Benjamin called her."Hello?""The gallery called me and said you quit your job?" Benjamin asked.Charlotte looked out the window and replied, "I found a new job. Fans kept coming to the gallery and causing trouble, making it impossible for me to work properly. It's affecting the gallery's business, too.""If you found it troublesome, you could have told me. I would have arranged a new job for you.""It's okay. I found one myself, and it's not bad," Charlotte replied."What kind of job is it?" Benjamin asked."It's a job at a theater, nothing special."Benjamin paused m

Chapter 175 Brother Griffith Must Also Kneel

Ding dong! The doorbell rang.Charlotte paused her argument with Griffith and got up to answer the door.Julie carried a large green onion outside the door, and behind her was Ash holding many snacks.Seeing Charlotte, Julie appeared very happy. "Charlotte!"Charlotte had a good impression of her. She quickly made way for them. "Did you go shopping?""Yes! My brother was craving some good food, so I treated him," Julie replied.Charlotte noticed the two bags of snacks and couldn't help but smile. These didn't seem like snacks for Ash.As soon as Julie entered, she ran up and down excitedly and put down the puppy for Charlotte to play with. Julie then noticed the big package by the door."What are these?" Julie asked."They're props," Charlotte replied."Props?" Julie blinked her big eyes, looking curious.Charlotte, treating her like a child, was happy to indulge her. She bent down and unzipped the bag to show her a princess dress, a crown, and high heels.Most girls loved

Chapter 176 The Prince Doesn't Know How To Kiss

Hearing this, Julie immediately nodded. "Yes, the little dwarf is going to cry!"She said that but didn't cry herself. Instead, she turned and said to Ash and Griffith, "Big brother cry! Brother Griffith, cry!""Why aren't you crying yourself?" Griffith said.Julie was full of wisdom in her words, saying, "I'm Bashful. Bashful cries quietly."Charlotte laughed and nodded. "Right, Julie is correct.""The princess is dead! Please don't speak!" Julie shouted.Charlotte remained silent but laughed inwardly. This trip had been worthwhile. Julie was truly an angel sent to torment Griffith. Griffith could not cry, so Julie taught him how to cry, telling him to rub his eyes."Julie, Brother Griffith doesn't know how to cry." Ash couldn't bear it any longer and came to the rescue.But Julie turned a deaf ear and began manipulating Griffith's hands. Charlotte opened her eyes and saw that Griffith had clenched his fists, which Julie had placed near his face."That's right!" Charlotte tho

Chapter 177 Then Show Me

"Yes!" "Then show me."Charlotte was shocked. Who was she supposed to demonstrate with? Was Griffith out of his mind? She struggled to open her eyes again, and sure enough, after just two seconds, Julie turned her head and lifted Ash's face to kiss him."Julie!" Ash's face turned pale with fright. He quickly grabbed Julie and tried to calm her down."That's it, Julie. We won't play anymore."Julie shook her head, still wanting to hug him. Ash, who was always expressionless, was on the verge of losing his mind. He pressed down on her hands."No more playing! If we keep playing, your favorite pasta will get cold and taste bad." Thus, he managed to coax Julie away.Charlotte lay on the sofa in disbelief. She turned her head and met Griffith's calm gaze. He did it on purpose. He must have anticipated that Julie would ask Ash to demonstrate."What are you looking at?" Charlotte said."You expected me to kiss you?" He snorted and got up.Charlotte quickly got up. While Ash was lea

Chapter 178 Getting Scared in the Elevator

Charlotte thought for a moment and quickly dismissed the idea. Observing Griffith's attitude towards people like Michelle, he wouldn't treat his father's illegitimate child kindly, let alone like she was a treasure. Just as Charlotte was thinking this, the elevator suddenly jerked. Then, the alarm in the elevator started blaring, and the lights went out. She tensed all over, instinctively curling up but still pretending to remain calm. "What... what's happening?""What else could it be? Didn't you hear the ghostly noise? A ghost is here.""You're… not serious, are you?" Charlotte said.In the darkness, he furrowed his brow, glanced in her direction, and said, "The power's out."Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief but was still on edge. "This building is supposed to be under your people's control, right? How did the power go out?""Who told you my people control it?"Charlotte closed her eyes, and her throat tightened. "I'm not stupid."Griffith let out a low chuckle. He took o

Chapter 179 Her Palm Was Sweaty

They said it would be just a few minutes, but every minute and second feels excruciating in a tense situation. Charlotte felt the darkness was about to swallow her, and she heard a cacophony of chaotic sounds around her. She ignored them and grabbed Griffith's shirt again.He moved slightly but didn't mock her. He probably was afraid she would be frightened to death. They fell into silence again for a minute.Charlotte regained her composure, but her mind was flooded with terrifying thoughts. What if the elevator plummeted? What if it shot upwards? In any case, it would be fatal. And she was still wearing heels. With this in mind, she quietly moved her feet, trying to get her feet out of her heels."What are you doing?""I... I'm taking off my shoes."Griffith sneered and taunted her, "Have you watched too many movies?""This is common sense. Better safe than sorry. You should... you should lean against the wall, too. It's safer."They weren't very high from the ground. If it fe

Chapter 180 Are You Playing the Princess

Since she was going to meet with Benjamin, Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "I've made plans to have dinner with a friend on South Street. Just drop me off by the roadside.""Then I'll wait nearby," the driver replied."No need, my friend has a car. After dinner, I'll ride with him," Charlotte said.The driver hesitated, parking the car. When he realized that the area was relatively bustling and not dangerous, he nodded."Be careful when you get out," he said."Okay," Charlotte replied, exiting the car and taking her large bag.She had booked a restaurant nearby and sent the location to Benjamin, who replied that he was on his way. Upon entering the restaurant, she left her things at the counter and went to her table to order. Since Benjamin had not arrived yet, she went to the adjacent store to buy some daily necessities for Ava. She heard a familiar voice at the checkout."Extra creamy, please."Charlotte turned her head and saw Allison. She was dressed in casual spor
