Chapter 70: What’s the Situation?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Darling, what are you dissatisfied with?” The assistant director had no choice but to go over and console her personally.

Elena was a rising star in the entertainment industry, and everyone was eager to show their support. Observing the assistant director approaching her, many feigned concern and hurried over. Audrey was so taken aback that she nearly exclaimed, “What’s happening?”

Audrey had known that the Host could be challenging to handle. After all, she was competitive and had to compete with Abner and the others for control of the family assets. It wasn’t surprising that she might end up being banished to Africa.

But what was wrong with Elena? Didn’t the original book depict her as upright, kind, and affectionate?

What was happening now? Elena seemed to be targeting Audrey at every turn. Audrey couldn’t help but lament silently, “Can’t I act properly?”

Due to Elena’s one-sided “willfulness,” the plan to shoot four scenes that afternoon was canceled. In the end, only two scenes were successfully filmed.

The assistant director was at a loss, but he couldn’t lose his temper with Elena. He could only sit during the intermission and search for Audrey. “Darling, you’re a newcomer. How can you compare to Elena’s experience? She must be more experienced than you. Just accept her advice. Why argue with her? If you argue with her, the progress of the shoot will be delayed.”

Anna was infuriated. “Director, how can you say that? I thought I acted very well. She is clearly looking for trouble, okay?”

The assistant director rolled his eyes at Anna. “What do you know? The entertainment industry is complex. Newcomers like you can’t influence the storyline of every script.”

Audrey understood that the assistant director was attempting to shift the blame onto her for slowing down the production team.

“Director, you’re the one who can best judge whether my performance was good or not,” Audrey said, her gaze penetrating, revealing her emotions.

The assistant director’s mouth twitched, realizing his thoughts had been exposed.

“Just cooperate with Elena! The whole production team is still waiting for dinner. If you don’t cooperate, are all of us supposed to suffer with you?”

This guy was actually blaming her?

Audrey was furious. She checked her phone and noticed it was nearly five o’clock. She announced, “Since we’ve already filmed two scenes, and that young lady has a bad temper and refuses to continue, I’ll return tomorrow.” With that said, Audrey angrily left with Anna.

Elena, seated across from the assistant director, also departed with a sullen expression.

Audrey realized that her temper sometimes mirrored the original owner’s, but she didn’t feel guilty. After all, Elena had gone too far.

Upon returning home, it was dinner time. Seeing Audrey’s exhausted expression, Anthea’s heart went out to her. She sat down and personally poured her a cup of hot milk.

“How did it go? Did the filming go well today?” Anthea inquired.

Audrey didn’t want to carry her work-related emotions back home. She mustered a smile and replied, “It’s alright. I managed to film a few scenes today, but I struggled to get into character.”

“That’s good,” Anthea finally nodded in relief.

The entire family had gathered tonight, and even Charlotte, who rarely came home, was seated at the dining table.

Gary was quite content with this scenario; he cherished family reunions the most.

Abner remained as reserved as ever. Audrey glanced at him, then couldn’t help but shift her gaze to Charlotte on the other side. [My older sister is genuinely beautiful and elegant. I admire her a lot.]

Charlotte paused and cast a puzzled glance at Audrey.

[My sister just looked at me!]

Charlotte’s posture stiffened.

Charlotte recalled the bizarre text appearing above Audrey’s head the last time they met, leaving her to question whether her eyes were playing tricks on her.

She had initially considered asking Eric if he had noticed Audrey’s oddity, but believing that their relationship was quite ordinary, she decided against it. Perhaps when she asked, Eric might even laugh at her for being a fool.

Charlotte couldn’t bear the thought of Eric mocking her.

“By the way, how’s the recent drama you’ve been directing?” Gary suddenly inquired of Eric.

Eric’s mother, Amanda, had called him yesterday, urging him to arrange for Eric to work at the company, regardless of favoritism toward his eldest son.

Gary was at a loss. He understood that the three biological children’s mothers all had hidden agendas, hoping their children would constantly vie for control of the family’s assets. However, Gary had his own plans..
