Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 508 The Fence-sitter

She was a woman that even Max Nixon couldn’t get. What did she see in him? He didn’t deserve her

passion…

He was seized by curiosity.

After a while, he decided to send Max a short message to avoid misunderstandings in the future.

Soon, the cast and crew arrived.

Before shooting, Peter Scott said a few words.

What he basically meant was that he valued the actor’s strength more than the investors’ financial

resources.

He appreciated actors who enjoyed performing, but if someone tried to behave like a prima donna, he

would kick them out of the crew.

He wouldn’t put up with that even if he lost his shirt.

Everyone there looked at each other.

They knew who he was talking about. That was why they were so surprised.

They had no idea that Director Scott was so prejudiced against Laura.

At this point, some of the fence-sitters looked at Laura differently.

However, in the face of strange eyes, Laura projected an air of calm self-confidence.

She looked at Peter in the face with a smile, showing agreement with his views.

Laura was certainly not afraid.

She had spent a whole month boning up on the script.

How could she be easily defeated by Peter’s prejudice?

Laura believed that she would not do anything to damage her reputation.

She has the confidence to prove that she could play her part well and clear her name.

She was not an eye candy who relied on investors to pull strings, but a real actress.

Laura looked so poised, but Peter didn’t know what she was thinking.

Quite the contrary, he thought she was a hopeless case.

Peter didn’t know how she had the courage to look at him so calmly and add voice to his words,

which made him feel like he was being provoked.

However, instead of showing his mind, he said, “Show me what you’ve got and don’t let me down.”

He glanced at Laura specifically and then turned to the camera.

The TV series officially began filming.

The first scene of the day was Laura’s part.

It was about Nichole Westmore, played by Laura, had a dispute with her mother, Mrs. Westmore.

When the news of Mr. Westmore ‘s death came, Nichole said angrily that she could not let her father

die needlessly. But Mrs. Westmore, who had been docile and conservative, asked Nichole what she

was going to do in despair.

Nichole poured out her full heart, however, Mrs. Westmore shook her head in disapproval.

She represented not only herself, but the entire Westmore Family. As Mr. Westmore’s only daughter,

she should guard her father’s honor.

On the contrary, Mrs. Westmore thought her husband was dead and she couldn’t put her reputation on

the line.

However, Nichole didn’t think so.

In her view, it was precisely because she represented the whole family that she needed to be to the

fore. She wanted to tell the Emperor, the former subordinates of her father, and the enemies who had

killed her father that Westmore Family didn’t fall. She would tell everyone that females were as

excellent as their male peers.

Finally, after a little gentle persuasion, Mrs. Westmore nodded in agreement.

But the premise was that Nichole must go to the Potaraka temple to pray for safety, her mother could

rest assured.

After setting out, she was attacked while crossing a bridge. She was forced to jump into the lake to

escape.

It happened to be winter and the lake was covered with a thin layer of ice.

The lake was freezing cold. It seemed to everyone that a woman as fragile as Nichole would surely die.

So the killer stopped, and she survived.

When Laura read this part, she felt the plot was contradictory.

There were two major contradictions here, the first was the conflict between Nichole and her mother,

and the second was the assassination of Nichole.

The former was the first scene and a crucial part of the play.

Through a few short minutes, Laura was supposed to act out the determination of her role to avenge

her father. Meanwhile, she also had to show her disappointment with her mother’s traditional thoughts,

and the compromise driven by filial piety.

If she could play the first scene perfectly, the image of the role would be shaped successfully.

But that was not easy.

People thought Laura was under a lot of pressure.

However, it was a long-awaited challenge for her.

It was significant for her to play challenging roles for her career.

So before shooting, she did not feel nervous or calm, but looked at the busy crew with expectation.

It was a pleasure even for her to wait.

However, she didn’t know that, in Peter’s eyes, she was just putting on an act.

Laura thought his unhappiness was understandable. After all, Lily’s instigation and slander had given

Peter a bad impression of her.

Laura didn’t mind it at all.

She only cared about when she could start acting and bring life to her role.

To her delight, she did not wait long. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Soon, everything was ready.

Laura had already changed her clothes, patted the pleats and headed for the center of the field with a

confidence smile.

“Show me what you’ve got.” The corners of Peter’s lips twitched when he looked at Laura.

When she reached the center of the field, she nodded to the woman who was about to work with her.

There was a flicker of confusion in the woman’s eyes. Then she greeted Laura with stiff formality.

She was even more rattled when she remembered that Lily had told her to mess up Laura’s

performance.

Actually, she didn’t want to do that.

Unfortunately, Lily threatened to cut off her part if she didn’t agree.

She knew better than anyone how hard she worked to get the part.

So she treasured the opportunity, and she didn’t want to be kicked out because of Laura.

Soon, the shooting began.

When Laura delivered her first line, she found that her partner wasn’t emotionally involved.

In other words, the woman didn’t act out the emotions her role was supposed to show.
