"Ahhhh!! My neck, my hair!! Aurelia Shaw, I won't rest until you pay!"

She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

A voice full of grievance came through first, "Isabel, that little bitch Aurelia Shaw scratched my neck. I have an audition soon, what should I do?"

At home, Eleanor Spencer had been sulking for two days, her face pale and haggard, dark circles heavy under her eyes. Hearing this, her fingers clenched tightly around the phone, a fierce glint in her eyes, "I told you to deal with her, how did you end up being dealt with by her! What are you even good for!"

Eleanor Spencer had always been gentle with her before, so Eliza Fletcher was stunned by the sudden outburst.

Realizing her slip, Eleanor Spencer took a deep breath, her voice returning to its usual gentleness, "Eliza, what happened with Aurelia Shaw? Did you ruin her face like I asked?"

Eliza Fletcher touched the small blade hidden in her bag, without taking it out, and said nervously, "I didn't get the chance. She pinned me against the washbasin, and now there's a cut on my neck too. I'm not sure if I'll get through the singing audition later."

Pausing, she hesitated to say to Eleanor Spencer, "Isabel, you promised me you'd help me place in the top ten in the New Voice competition. Now my voice is like this, what do you think..."

Eleanor Spencer's eyes were cold. Fail to do the job and still want a reward, dreaming indeed.

She pondered a moment with difficulty, "This is a bit hard to do. There are three judges for the New Voice, and they swapped judges at the last minute this year. Even if I use my connections and get my friend to help you, there are still the other two judges."

"Ah! What should I do?" Eliza Fletcher was about to cry with desperation, "My voice is like this now, there's no way I'll get through. What... what should I do? It's all Aurelia Shaw's fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Seeing that Eliza Fletcher's anger had successfully been directed towards Aurelia Shaw, Eleanor Spencer smiled smugly, her voice still gentle, "Sigh, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Eliza, Aurelia Shaw must be eliminated. Why don't you try to get her onto the investor's bed or something, just make sure to ruin her!"

Afraid Eliza Fletcher might grow suspicious, she added, "This is for your own good. Aurelia Shaw doesn't know which big shot she's gotten involved with. In the crew, she's commanding the wind and the rain, it's giving me a headache. You know the industry runs on connections. You finally snagged this lead female role. Really willing to let her just take it?"

A gleam of hatred flashed in Eliza Fletcher's eyes. She gripped her purse and gritted her teeth, "Isabel, don't worry. I definitely won't let her off."

Eleanor Spencer revealed a satisfied smile.

Eliza Fletcher, this brainless woman, so eager for quick success, really thinks having big breasts and sleeping with men can elevate her in the entertainment circle, deserved to be used by me.

Amanda Fuller had waited long for Aurelia Shaw but hadn't seen her return. Just as she was about to go look for her, she saw her walking over.

"What's up? Someone called for me?" Seeing Amanda Fuller looking anxious, Aurelia Shaw asked.

Amanda Fuller shook her head, "No, it's just you've been gone so long, I got a bit worried."

"It's nothing," Aurelia Shaw said indifferently, "Ran into something that delayed me, you..."

A staff member walked over, glanced at the others in the hallway, and then looked at Aurelia Shaw, "Are you Aurelia Shaw? Go in for the audition."

Aurelia Shaw nodded and walked in. Amanda Fuller snorted at the staff member who was arrogant earlier, then turned back to Aurelia Shaw, "I heard Andrew Kennedy came by earlier. The director of this play seems really intent on having Andrew Kennedy as the male lead, but Kennedy's schedule is fully booked. The director tried several times without success."
