Chapter 378
‘Is Trina the rumored stepsister? I heard she was gentle and graceful, but she looks like she wants to kill Bonnie.”
Nancy pitied Bonnie, saying, “That reminds me. My stepsister is just like Tina!
Bonnie turned to look at Trina. After some thought, Bonnie asked, “Is your stepsister also a hypocrite?”
Nancy answered, “Well, it’s certainly not because they look alike ”
She and Bonnie exchanged glances and giggled. Since the duo experienced a similar past, they knew what each other had gone through.
Meanwhile, Trina wondered what the duo was talking about.
‘What are those two giggling about? I can’t explain it, but I’m sure they’re making fun of me.
Bonnie and Nancy grew much closer to each other. The former patted Nancy’s shoulder and said, “Although I’m the author of this novel and have a way to give you the lead role, I feel that’s the last thing you want me to do. If I understand you well enough, you’d prefer to fight for your merits.”
“Mhm!” Nancy nodded in approval. She determinedly said, “I’m only asking for a chance, not to rig the game.”
Bonnie had a newfound respect for Nancy after hearing that.
Soon after, the audition began. Trina was nervous, even though she had prepared herself for it. However, her confidence shattered when she heard Bonnie was also here for the audition.
Ultimately, Trina could not even perform to her usual standard. Even so, she did not feel too bad about herself because she knew how beautiful Bonnie was. Trina simply stood no chance at the lead role, even if she had performed well.
“You may leave, Ms. Trina.” The director waved her off coldly. He whispered to the producer, “She couldn’t remember her lines. How dare she come for the open casting. She must’ve thought we wouldn’t take this seriously. Is she looking down on us?”
The producer responded, “She must’ve thought she could land the role by relying on her looks. She assumed we’d overlook her inability to remember her lines because her looks would dazzle us. Also, she might think she can rely on dubbing”
“That’s low. What does that girl take the studio for? What does she take me for? I’m one of

the best directors in Pyralls, damn it. I can’t believe she underestimated us. Give me her file. I want to know who she is and ban her from our studio entirely.”
Trina was still within earshot at that moment. Although the director and producer were whispering, they were still pretty audible. Hence, Trian overheard their whole conversation.

She gritted her teeth and balled her fists, thinking, ‘It’s all Bonnie’s fault! I wouldn’t have so nervous if it weren’t for her! She’s the reason I humiliated myself! Since that’s the case, the director and producer emphasize acting skills more than looks.
‘Honestly, I don’t think Bonnie can act even if her life depended on it. If she could, Mom and Dad wouldn’t have disowned her.‘
Ultimately, Trina decided she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she stood aside and awaited Bonnie’s turn to audition.
Since Bonnie had just seen Trina’s embarrassing audition, the latter thought it was only fitting she saw Bonnie’s as well. Trina even prepared her phone to start recording Bonnie’s audition. The former intended to upload it to the internet to humiliate Bonnie.
Half an hour passed, but Bonnie’s turn never arrived. Instead, Nancy stepped forward to audition, and Bonnie cheered for her, “Give it your all, Nancy. You can do it.”
“All right!” Nancy took a deep breath and started acting.
Bonnie felt satisfied with her performance. Nancy had memorized her lines well and portrayed the female lead role flawlessly.
‘I knew Nancy would be perfect for this role!‘
“Marvelous!” The director instinctively applauded Nancy. Afterward, he stood up and approached Bonnie.
Trina wondered what was happening.
‘Wasn’t the director praising Nancy? Why is he approaching Bonnie instead?‘
