“Why?” Emma could not quite understand.Penny explained, “You got the role, and she didn’t. There’s likely a reason behind that.”Emma’s eyes widened in surprise.“Ellen’s agent is known for finding investors for her clients,” Penny continued.No longer was Emma naïve. If she could not grasp the implications by now, that would be a real problem.“Did she have to sacrifice that much?” Emma pondered. “Is acting that necessary? If you lose out on one role, you can always wait for the next. If you really don’t want to… you can change careers.”There were so many ways to make money; why did people fight so hard to get into this industry?“Maybe it’s for the dream,” Emma mused, coming up with a reason for herself.However, she still could not fully understand it.Was it worth sacrificing everything for a dream?She would rather give up on the dream and choose something else if that were the case.Penny gave Emma a helpless look and said, “Emma, wake up, will you?”“Huh?” Emma loo

Emma smiled, completely unfazed. "Nope, not mad at all. It’s got nothing to do with me."Blaming others for their problems was something Emma had seen all her life. Her mom was the same way. She would blame her grandparents for not supporting her, her dad for being irresponsible, and the world for not being kind to her. However, she could not confront those people since it would not have changed anything. So, it was Emma who got the brunt of it all. She was the one who had to bear all the weight of her mom’s complaints and negativity. Her mom’s unhappiness? It was all Emma’s fault.Compared to that, what was Ellen’s bitterness? Ellen was just a stranger. The pain caused by those closest was what cut deep. If Emma had survived that, who was Ellen? She did not even register."Don’t worry too much about her. Just keep an eye out," Emma said calmly. "If anything happens, my husband will take care of it."She knew what Landon was capable of. Also, she knew that Landon would al

Ellen grew angrier by the second, her gaze burning into Emma with such intensity it was as if she wanted to set her on fire!If Emma had not noticed being stared at so intensely, she might as well have been dead. However, she had more pressing matters on her mind—like discussing the upcoming shoot with the director, Ricky.“Your idea is solid. Let's give it a try.” Ricky nodded approvingly. He had not expected Emma to have such a deep understanding of her character.It was clear she had put in the work to truly grasp the character’s inner world. Though the role of the general’s daughter was not extensive, it was emotionally complex. Ricky had initially thought he would have to spend a lot of time guiding Emma through the nuances.However, Emma had done her homework and then some."Great." Emma felt a wave of joy wash over her as Ricky approved her interpretation. Her hard work had paid off, and the validation felt incredible.With so much to be happy about, Emma decided to co

Talent? Did she not have it too? Why did Ricky invite her for a second audition, then? Emma just got lucky, that was all. If Ellen had been cast in Emma’s role, she would have played it even better!The resentment in Ellen’s heart had reached its peak, ready to burst out at any moment.“Ellen!” a crew member called out.Ellen snapped out of her thoughts, quickly masking her emotions as she looked at the crew member.“You’re up next. Get ready,” the crew member said before attending to others.Watching how respectfully the crew treated the other actors, Ellen’s anger flared up even more. Look at how they treated her, a mere supporting role, with such indifference, while they were all polite and attentive to the leads.If she had landed Emma’s role, she would have gained a lot of recognition from this show. She would rise quickly and soon be cast as a lead herself. Then, the crew would treat her with the same respect.All of this was because of Emma!Ellen clenched her fist

Ellen had just finished a phone call and was waiting for the production crew to call her for the next scene. However, instead of the crew coming for her, she saw that Emma, who had been watching other actors on set to learn, was the one called over."Right now? Okay, I'll get ready," Emma said, not wasting any time. She quickly prepared herself. Originally, her scene was not supposed to be shot until later, but Ricky suddenly decided to move it up. It made sense, though. Ellen had stormed off earlier, and Ricky was not one to compromise easily.As for who would come out on top in the end... Well, that was not Emma's concern. She just focused on doing her job.Emma gave it to her all in the scene. However, her lack of experience showed, and she made a few mistakes. Ricky, already furious because of Ellen, raised his voice even louder than usual, shouting at them with added intensity.The actress playing opposite Emma nearly teared up, as the mistakes they made were on both o

Since her character came from a family with a military background, there were scenes involving fights and horseback riding, which were especially exhausting. Emma was incredibly grateful that she had practiced in advance. Even so, she barely managed to pull it off. If she had not prepared, those horseback scenes would have been even more difficult.“Emma, how about we grab a late-night bite?” Sabrina Waters invited with a smile.After the harsh scolding from the director earlier, if Emma had not stepped in to smooth things over, Sabrina would have been mortified.“Sure,” Emma agreed. “Is there a good place nearby?”“Oh, I know a great spot for pizza!” Sabrina's eyes lit up at the mention of food.Emma whispered, “Do they have skewers too? Pizza and grilled skewers are a perfect combo!”“Yes, yes, yes! There’s a skewer place right next to the pizza shop. We can get the skewers and then head over for pizza. Their grilled corn is amazing. You have to try them, or you’ll regret i

Emma smiled and said, "Thanks. I’ll be careful."From the meal they just had, Sabrina could tell that Emma was not someone who played games. Sabrina had been in the industry for a few years now. Although she mostly played supporting roles, she had her own fan base. She had seen enough backstage drama to recognize that someone like Emma was very vulnerable to being manipulated."Make sure you talk to your agent," Sabrina advised. "Ellen’s team is not to be underestimated. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to get their people into the cast."Sabrina knew a bit about how the casting process worked and understood that Ellen’s current role was originally not intended for her."Thank you," Emma said sincerely. She had not expected Sabrina to be so forthcoming."Don’t mention it," Sabrina laughed heartily. "If it weren’t for you, I’d have really been in a tight spot."She had been genuinely embarrassed at the time.Emma did not add any more pleasantries and followed Sabrina back to th

Ellen thought she had found a solid backer, but in reality, she was just a plaything that could be discarded at any moment. Gritting her teeth, she lowered her head and said, “I’ll go apologize to the director right away.”“That’s the right attitude,” Holly said with a sigh. “You’ve got a chance now, so take it. Grab every opportunity and make the most of it.“If you wait until resources dry up, you won’t be able to walk away even if you want to.” Holly’s words made Ellen shiver. She had thought her sacrifices would provide her with strong support. Now she realized how naïve she had been. In truth, she did not have the solid footing she had imagined.Ellen went to apologize to the director.Meanwhile, Emma was unaware of this. When she returned to the hotel, she ran into Ellen in the hallway and was surprised to see that Ellen looked at her as if she were a bitter enemy.What had she done?Emma stood still in the hallway, feeling as though Ellen might snap at any moment.

Kingsley barely glanced at Ellen before turning his attention back to Ricky, chatting and laughing. He did not see any reason to waste energy on someone like her. He had dealt with plenty of people beneath his notice before. Instead of working on her acting skills, she seemed to be looking for shortcuts.Emma watched the exchange, wide-eyed, and nudged Penny. “Is Kingsley really that impressive?”Penny looked at her, unimpressed. “What do you think?”With a tone of admiration, Penny added, “Kingsley’s had so many Oscar winners under his wing. Any artist he manages is bound to succeed.”Kingsley was a legend in their circle.“That’s because my husband is amazing.” Emma beamed with pride.“Oh?”Emma lifted her chin with a smug smile. “If someone like Kingsley is willing to be my manager, it just shows how capable my husband is. After all, Kingsley doesn’t seem like someone swayed by money.”“True, but I suspect you’re showing off.”“I am!” Emma grinned and winked.Penny only

Kingsley chuckled. “She’s just a hanger-on, twisted and jealous of Emma.”Landon replied, “In the future, make sure Emma’s work schedule avoids her.”“I know,” Kingsley said with a smile. “You don’t need to tell me; I would do that anyway. It’s better to stay away from people with impure motives.”“No,” Landon clarified, “I mean, make sure Ellen avoids Emma.”Kingsley was momentarily confused. “You want me to make Ellen avoid Emma? How can I even do that? I don’t have any direct connection with her.”Wait a minute!Kingsley suddenly realized what Landon was implying and was at a loss for words. Fortunately, Landon did not need him to say anything and continued, “If Ellen is on a set, have them replace her with another actress. Stirling Group will invest more.”“As expected, money talks,” Kingsley muttered.Landon chuckled. “Actually, I’m thinking of starting an entertainment company just to manage Emma.”Kingsley was speechless. Seriously? This guy was flaunting his wealth.
