Chapter 52
“It’s just the fourth lead. Nothing to be jealous of,” Luna, acting as Queena’s
mouthpiece, boasted. “Our Queena is Mr. Turner’s handpicked choice for the lead role p>
“Really?” The others stared at Queena with envy. “Queena, you’re incredible. You’ve been getting amazing roles since you debuted, all of them leads. You must be the chosen one p>
“My family just spoils me,” Queena replied with a show of humility, though her eyes shone with pride. “I’m always working hard to improve so I don’t let them down p>
“With Nexus Media backing her, Queena is bound to become an A-list star,” Luna continued to flatter.
Just then, Yvonne pushed the door open and walked in. Luna shot her a disdainful look and added, “Not like some people, who don’t even bother to look in the mirror before accusing Queena of being a fake heiress p>
Yvonne took off her jacket and hung it up. Then she turned to face the group. “If she’s not a fake heiress, then what is she? A bastard? An illegitimate child p>
“Yvonne, what… what nonsense are you spouting!” The word “illegitimate” clearly struck a nerve, and Queena’s face flashed with panic.
“Oh, it’s just nonsense, is it?” Yvonne sneered. “Then why are you so agitated? A little defensive, are we?” Her bright eyes seemed to see right through everything.
“You-” Queena started to argue, but her phone rang. She picked up the pink, diamond-studded phone from her desk.
It was the production team, calling to inform her that she had been cast as the second female lead and should come in to sign the contract.
“What? The second lead? Are you sure you’re not mistaken? I was supposed to be the female lead!” Queena’s face immediately fell. “What do you mean you found someone more suitable Youcant just go back on your word. Do you have any idea what it means to offend Nexus Media?” Orıginal content can be found at.net
After a moment of listening to the person on the other end, Queena hung up the phone in a rage.
Just as she did, Yvonne’s phone rang. It was also the production
team. Yvonne put the call on speaker and the assistant director’s Voice fled the foom. Ms. Jones, you’ve passed the audition for the female lead. If it’s convenient, please come to the studio to sign the contract as soon as possible p>
“I understand. Thank you,” Yvonne said before hanging up. She raised an eyebrow,
looking provocatively at Queena and the others.
“Doesn’t she have Nexus Media
backing her? How come she couldn’t even secure the lead role? Now, you should all know who’s the real deal and who’s the imitation p>
Luna, Tina, and the other two girls exchanged glances, their eyes all landing on Queena.
“Queena, didn’t you say you were the guaranteed lead? How did Yvonne get the part?” Luna asked, confused.
“Have you been lying to us this whole time? Are you really not the Nexus Media heiress?” Tina asked bluntly.
The other two girls stared at Queena with suspicion and even a hint of contempt.
Queena’s face turned deathly pale. She shot Yvonne a venomous glare before turning and running out of the room without another word.
After she left, all eyes turned to Yvonne.
