CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: OPEN YOUR EYES AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK

After listening to her words, Director Farber’s face showed even more disdain, "I don’t know where the mistake is, but the person I’m looking for is not you! I’m looking for the true campus belle of Imperia University!"

What?!

Cassia Everett’s initially smug expression changed instantly. She had already spread the news that she was selected, but now they’re telling her she’s not the one they’re looking for. How could she accept this?!

"What’s going on here? Wasn’t it said that Director Farber set the location at Imperia University for Cassia Everett? Why is Director Farber now saying Cassia Everett isn’t the person he’s looking for?"

"Moreover, Director Farber seems quite disgusted with her, clearly showing dislike for her claiming to be the campus belle..."

Serena’s elegant eyebrows lazily arched with interest as she watched the unfolding drama, and her relaxed attitude made Cassia’s expression even more difficult to maintain. She hurriedly spoke up.

"Director Farber, I really am the campus belle of Imperia University..."

"Move aside, don’t waste my time."

Her words were cut off impatiently by Director Farber.

He was anxious to find the girl he met yesterday and had no time to waste with her here!

"Director Farber..."

Cassia refused to give up and tried to chase after him, but as Director Farber reached the peak of impatience and was about to leave, his gaze was drawn to a figure in the crowd, his face quickly showing sheer delight.

"Student, I’ve finally found you!"

Director Farber, who was originally looking impatient, broke into a wide grin when he saw Serena in the crowd, his smile looking cheap.

"Student, you left so quickly yesterday, I didn’t get a chance to ask your name. Somehow, the staff contacted the wrong person. Fortunately, I’ve found you again!"

As soon as Director Farber said this, it caused an immediate stir.

"What? The person Director Farber was looking for is Serena!?"

"So Director Farber mistook someone else for Serena and then had the staff contact the wrong person..."

"But it’s true, Serena’s face truly deserves to be the campus belle’s face, it’s no surprise they mistook her!"

Hearing these words, Cassia felt utterly embarrassed. She had been boasting to Serena about Director Farber choosing her for the movie, but she never imagined the person Director Farber was really looking for was Serena...

Her face was practically slapped swollen!

"Everett, you’re perfect for this role. I sincerely invite you to play it! Name your terms, as long as you’re willing to act!"

Serena was still casually enjoying the show when Director Farber, full of joy, rushed to her side, only to be flatly refused by her.

"No, I’m not interested in acting."

With the time spent acting, she could easily make several billion with just a few deals.

"Oh my god, Serena actually rejected Director Farber!"

"Did I hear wrong? Someone actually rejected Director Farber, whose movies aren’t just for anyone to act in!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Listening to these words, Cassia bit her lip resentfully. This was the opportunity she dreamed of, but Serena just refused it like that?!

She must be playing hard to get, trying to make Director Farber see her as different. She’s really cunning!

She wouldn’t let Serena have her way!

Cassia’s eyes turned icy as she glanced at Yara Shawnessy, who immediately caught the cue and spoke loudly on purpose.

"Director Farber, I heard this role requires piano playing, but Serena, coming from the countryside, can’t play the piano at all! She doesn’t meet your casting requirements at all!"

As expected, after hearing this, Director Farber frowned slightly, looking regretfully at Serena.

Such a fitting girl for his role not being able to play the piano was truly regrettable!

Seeing this, Yara immediately continued, seizing the moment, "Director Farber, but Cassia is different. She’s been learning piano since she was young, plays excellently, and even won this year’s piano competition! Director Farber, Cassia truly meets your casting requirements the best!"

While saying this, Yara didn’t forget to further insult Serena, her tone full of unconcealed contempt.

"Director Farber, if you choose Serena, her lack of piano skills will only delay your filming progress!"

"Who said my sister can’t play the piano?"

A youth’s flamboyant and unrestrained voice sounded, as Niall Everett shielded Serena, unable to bear anyone saying a word about her. He directly played a video of Serena playing the piano at a feast.

"Open your dog eyes wide and see how outstanding my Serena is!"

In the video, Serena sat quietly at the piano, her fingertips dancing over the keys, with light casting on her face, looking beautiful like an ink painting.

Everyone present gasped.

"So beautiful! Is she a fairy..."

"Not only is she beautiful, but she plays the piano so well..."

Director Farber was even more excited; the girl’s piano playing was excellent, perfectly matching his requirements for the role!

"Everett, besides having you play this role, no one is more suitable. Could you reconsider? Don’t refuse so quickly!"

Watching the persistent Director Farber, Serena’s elegant brows showed a hint of helplessness. Just as she was about to refuse again, Director Farber immediately clutched his chest.

"Oh dear, oh dear, my heart isn’t good today, I can’t bear hearing refusals. Everett, please reconsider, I’ll wait for your reply!"

Saying this, he didn’t give Serena a chance to speak and quickly ran off.

Director Farber’s shameless behavior left everyone present stunned.

Is this really the notoriously sharp and cold Director Farber? How come he’s so humble in front of Serena?!

Seeing this scene, Cassia’s jealousy grew deeper, her gaze falling viciously on Serena, wishing she could tear her apart.

"Serena, didn’t it feel good for me to slap their faces for you?"

Seeing Niall Everett suddenly approaching with a credit-seeking expression, Serena pinched her brow disdainfully with her fingertips and pushed him away.

Niall wasn’t upset by the rejection and continued circling Serena persistently. But upon noticing she was carrying a lot of things, his expression immediately turned stern.

Did that brat send this? Trying to court his precious sister, wasn’t he fed up with life?!

"Serena, carrying so many things is tiring, let me carry them for you!"

Niall grabbed the items from Serena’s hands, wishing he could throw them all into the trash, but he still feigned a smile as he spoke.

"Serena, who gave you these?"

It turns out The Imperial Court’s pastries weren’t from Niall!

Cassia’s eyes flickered maliciously as she softly spoke, appearing considerate and kind-hearted.

"Sister, even if you like The Imperial Court’s pastries, you can’t just accept things from others casually. We’re all girls, after all, we need to be more reserved!"

"But also, sister, growing up in the countryside without experiencing good things, I understand you, but sister, you mustn’t accept random gifts next time!"
