CHAPTER 159: CHAPTER 159: PROVOKED

"Wrong," Melody Thorne walked over, "it’s because you have too many scandals. If it weren’t for your family’s previous investments, Director Irving would never have chosen you. If we’re talking about acting skills, you really don’t have much. Without the Adler Family, you’re nothing."

"You’re the one who’s nothing, a woman without a family. No matter how miserable I am, I’m not as pathetic as you. Even your parents didn’t want you when they left. Who knows, maybe you’re not even their biological child, just a bastard!" Ivy shouted excitedly.

"Smack" Melody Thorne raised her hand and slapped across. What she hated most was people talking about her parents.

Ivy clutched her face, "What? Did I hit a nerve? Hitting me can’t change the facts. Compared to you, an orphan, I’m way better off. At least I’m still the eldest daughter of the Adler Family."

"The eldest daughter of the Adler Family?" Melody Thorne sneered, "You won’t be for much longer."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Whatever you owe me, you’d better be ready to pay it back. Don’t act like a mad dog that only knows how to bite!" Melody Thorne coldly turned and headed back to the villa.

She would make sure the Adler Family loses everything, even worse than they did in her past life!

Ivy glared darkly at her retreating back and took out her phone to make a call, deliberately softening her voice.

"What’s up?"

"Ah Hui, are you backing out on what you promised me last night? You said you’d invest in Director Irving’s new play to make me the lead actress."

"Baby, of course I remember what I promised you. But it’s not easy. It seems like it won’t work with Director Irving. He intends to promote that woman. Also, her position was secured because someone invested in her. If I invest, the investors she brings in will certainly offer a higher price. That person’s status and position can’t be low."

"Are you saying someone invested in her?" Ivy gripped the phone tightly.

She just knew there were a lot of well-connected and powerful graduates, how could Melody Thorne have gotten the role? Could it be because of Jared Quinn?

Did he invest too?

No, impossible. Jared Quinn would never be so attentive to Melody Thorne.

Just wait, tomorrow she’ll deliver a big gift to Melody Thorne to see who ends up worse off.

"Yes, someone invested."

"Help me with something now," Ivy squinted her eyes, thinking how Melody Thorne was still too naive to tangle with her. She’d show her what real tactics were.

"Alright."

When Melody Thorne returned to the villa, little Timmy was already asleep, so she took the script, stretched out on the carpet, and read through the script. Generally, both the director and investors pay the most attention to the first scene. If it goes smoothly, it means the work will surely be a hit.

Let’s hope everything proceeds smoothly.

Jared Quinn finished his IV on the way upstairs, his peripheral vision unconsciously catching sight of Timmy’s room. The light cast a gentle glow on the figure engrossed in her work on the carpet, serene and sweet...

Morning.

Theater.

Melody Thorne spent half an hour on makeup and changed into her costume. Being the leading lady, she was the last to get her makeup done, with everyone else already waiting outside.

The movie opened with an intense action scene, using the final part as the prologue. Willow Bright was enraged by the emperor’s heartless killings, intending to fight many people. Jade Day, played by Ivy, was to launch a sneak attack on her from behind.

"Does everyone remember their moves?" the martial arts instructor spoke, "Be careful with the prop swords."
