Chapter 16
This scene was about Medusa’s subordinate reporting that the treasure she had been guarding was stolen,
She paused for a moment as if she had finally finished listening to her subordinate’s report. After that, her expression changed, as if flames of fury had ignited in her eyes, or perhaps they had been filled with millennia–old coldness piercing through the bone.
The assistant director promptly turned on a large fan, causing her clothes to billow and her hair to fly. She stared expressionlessly at the camera, suddenly raising her arm and decisively shouting, “Kill him!”
The audition ended quickly, as this scene had only five words of dialogue. Yet, the most important aspect was conveying the beautiful winged female creature’s anger and murderous intent through her gaze.
It was a true test of the actor’s skills
Xavier, who had been lazily slouched on the couch, had straightened up at some point.
This is interesting!
A moment ago, he had almost believed this woman was the beautiful winged female creature from the script.
After that, the room was dead silent.
Xavier turned to look at Lyle and saw him lowering his head, rubbing his nose as if deep in thought.
He had worked with Lyle many times and knew that the director had a habit of making such small gestures to conceal his excitement whenever he encountered an outstanding actor.
Xavier looked at Serena again.
Serena had already straightened her body and bowed to them once more. The powerful aura from moments ago had completely vanished, and she had turned back into a quiet, gentle young woman.
‘He leaned closer to Lyle and lowered his voice. “Director, what do you think?”
“It was alright.”
Xavier shot a disdainful glare at Lyle.
Stop pretending!
Clearly, he was satisfied, but he just wouldn’t show it.
Lyle quickly scribbled a few words in his notebook before lifting his head to look at Serena, his emotions under control.
“So, your name is Serena?”
Serena gave him a strange look.
Didn’t I already mention my name earlier?
Yet, she still nodded obediently. “Yes, my name is Serena.”
Lyle flipped through the documents in his hand, searching for something but failing to find her contact Information. “Leave your phone number so the production team can notify you.”
“Director, I–I don’t have a phone.” She bit her lip, leaving a glossy mark on her soft lips.
She lowered her head, awkwardly clutching the hem of her dress. She left her phone behind in Victor’s room
Chapter 16
and had yet to retrieve it.
She had saved all her money for September to pay tuition fees for her children and herself, so she couldn’t afford a phone right now.
Lyle was stunned.
There’s someone without a phone in this day and age? Isn’t she the actress Mr. Savill has specifically requested for the second female lead? She must have some kind of relationship with Mr. Savill To put it bluntly, how can she not afford a phone if she’s involved with him? Have I misunderstood Serena?
At that moment, Yves hurried over. “Director, I’m friends with Miss Stone. You can call me if you need to contact her, and I’ll pass along the message.”
Lennox held a cup of coffee in the office but didn’t drink it.
It wasn’t until Serena’s audition ended that he remembered the coffee in his hand.
Lennox finally let out the breath he had held for so long after casually setting the cup on the desk.
He had arranged for Serena to audition for personal reasons, and the 200 million dollars investment was just a playful venture for him.
Yet, he hadn’t expected Serena’s performance to exceed his expectations that far.
“Miss Zeller, what do you think?”
Vanessa’s gaze lingered on the screen for a long time.
It was Lennox’s question that pulled her back to reality. She was deeply moved and said, “Miss Stone is a natural–born actress.”
Lennox had been talking to Vanessa when he overheard Yves‘ words through his earpiece, and his expression immediately darkened.
“What’s the relationship between that man and Serena?”
Vanessa was speechless.
Mr. Savill, you’re the one who forbids me from looking into Miss Stone’s affairs. How can I know the answer to that?
Lennox quickly realized he had asked the wrong person.
His brows furrowed tightly, and he directly ordered Vanessa, “Prepare the contract and sign Serena to
Starlight Media for ten years!”
“Okay!”
“Make sure the contract specifies that she is forbidden to date during the contract period! Otherwise, it’ll be considered a breach of contract, and the penalty will be 100 million dollars!”
100 million dollars?
“Vanessa’s mouth twitched.
The president is clearly using his power for personal benefit.

Serena felt much more relaxed after her audition.
She had always been this way, nervous before doing something, but she would settle down once she had done her best.
Yves soon caught up with her.
When Serena saw him, she shyly fidgeted with her dress hem. “Yves, I’m really sorry for troubling you.”
“You’re my junior, so there’s no need to worry about that.”
Yves smiled warmly, pulling Serena to a corner. This twenty–something young man blushed and froze slightly when his hand brushed against her smooth arm.
Yves?”
Yves awkwardly scratched his head, unable to meet Serena’s gaze.
Once they reached the corner, he finally said, “Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this role will most likely be yours. I saw that Director Lyle seemed very satisfied with your performance. Just go home and wait for the news. I’ll be the first to inform you if there’s good news.”

Serena lifted her face, her eyes sparkling even brighter than the stars. She then sincerely thanked him “Yves, thank you”
Yves face turned even redder, and he coughed to cover up his awkwardness. “I already called Zoey to come pick you up. I need to go back inside, so I won’t be seeing you off
“Yes, you should hurry back. The sun is too hot out here”
She noticed that his face had been reddened by the sun.
After that, Yves hurried back inside with his handsome face flushed.
Soon, Zoey arrived to pick up Serena, and the four of them had a simple lunch near the film studio.
Sylvie and Silas had already eaten fried chicken earlier, so Sylvie wasn’t eating much at the dining table
She lay on the table, her big eyes wide open, her excited little face flushed red. “Mom, were you chosen or not?”
Serena swallowed the food in her mouth and saw the three of them staring at her with expectant eyes, making her embarrassed. “I don’t know if I’ll be chosen.”
After all, she hadn’t seen the performances of the other auditionees.
Who knows if someone does better than me?
“Mom, you’ll definitely get it.”
“Yeah, Mom, you’ll get it! Brother and I support you. We’re your
little fans!”
Serena smiled, her lips pursed. She picked up a fork and placed some vegetables onto the plates of her two children. Then, she patted Sylvie’s head. ‘Little one, you even know what fans are?”
*Of course! You are our goddess,” said Sylvie, her mouth full and greasy.
This little one, she even knows what a goddess is! I can’t let her watch those random TV dramas anymore. She learns everything she sees.
The four of them gathered around the couch, watching TV early the next morning.
Serena and Zoey were discussing going to the supermarket to buy some groceries for dinner when Zoey received a call suddenly.
After hanging up, she jumped high in excitement.
ve and asked,
Her scream startled Sylvie, who patted her chest in fright. She tugged on her brother’s sleeve “Silas, what’s wrong with her?”
Silas furrowed his small brows and patted his sister’s head. “Stay calm!”
Yet, Zoey was
in but calm. She turned around and directly onto Serena on the couch.
Ouch. Zoey, what’s wrong with you?”
Serena’s little face twisted in pain. Her waist was about to break,
*Serena, let me scream a bit first! I’m too excited. Serena, Yves called me. He said you
