"Summer!" Stana called out.Summer turned to look at her. "What is it now?""How did you know I was the one behind all this?" Stana asked.Summer shrugged. "Suzanne has no money, so who else could it be but you?"Stana didn't respond to that.Summer didn't say anything more and simply walked away.As soon as she left, Stana's manager, Sydney Floyd, rushed in. "Did she threaten you?"Stana shook her head, then looked at Sydney. "Is it possible we were actually wrong about her?"Sydney frowned. "How could that be? She's the one who benefited from all of this!"Stana paused before speaking again, "Go look into Suzanne."She wasn't the best judge of character, but after her conversation with Summer, she didn't think Summer seemed like the kind of person described in that anonymous letter.Truthfully, with things already having escalated to this point, Summer had absolutely not needed to confront her face-to-face.After all, the Hartford family was much more powerful than Stana'
Dancing had been Stana's passion since she was a child. Even the grudge of losing out on the role didn't burn that deep."Ms. Hartford, what brings you here?" Stana had been reading the online backlash against Summer when her manager's voice came from outside."I came to see Stana," Summer said."I'm sorry. You're not welcome here."As soon as Stana heard that Summer had arrived, her anger surged. "Let her in!"She had been itching to confront Summer, and now the chance came knocking on her door.Shortly after, Summer walked in holding a bouquet."What are you doing here? Did you come to see how miserable you made me?" Stana demanded angrily.Summer set the flowers down and calmly sat in the chair beside her. "I didn't do anything to you."Stana's beautiful face flushed with anger. "Don't try to deny it! The moment I had my accident, you immediately replaced me as the female lead. Do you really dare to say that you had nothing to do with that?"Summer said without any hesitat
The whole thing had happened during the script reading session.Someone had exposed online that Summer would be replacing Stana as the female lead in Brilliant Stardom.They even included some anonymous accusations, claiming that Summer had stumbled upon the script by accident and immediately fell in love with it. She insisted on playing the role, regardless of whether the lead had already been decided.They even alleged that Stana's car accident was highly suspicious and possibly orchestrated to prevent her from taking the role."If the production just replaced the actress, they'd probably have to pay a breach-of-contract penalty, right? With Stana getting injured from an accident, there's no way she can act. She might even end up having to pay huge compensation herself. Only a rich heiress would pull a move like this.""Didn't Summer say before that she'd never enter the entertainment industry? She sure went against her word really quickly.""If a rich heiress really schemed to
"Mr. Ford asked me to offer you a toast." Summer got up and walked over to Suzanne, smiling as she carried her wine glass. "Here's to you. I look forward to working together."Suzanne stood up as well. Smiling, she lightly clinked glasses with Summer. "Definitely. I'm sure we'll work well together."Suzanne had a pleasant smile on her face, but she was actually seething inside.Why did Summer have to fight her for everything?After lunch, Summer and her group got ready to return and continue reviewing the script.Suzanne was dying to know whether Summer was actually capable or not, so she said, "Can I join you guys?"Kristen gave her a look. She had seen how Suzanne behaved at the lunch table. It was clear the latter wasn't happy for Summer at all.Kristen said, "We're doing a table read this evening. The part Summer's going over now is something you've all read before. Maybe next time."Suzanne looked over, but Kristen didn't even give her a hint of a response.Still, Suzan
Kristen looked at Summer guiltily. "She was a determined girl to begin with. I barely taught her anything."That was the truth. Only in the past six months had their relationship really started to grow closer."Alright, then. Let's continue the class!" Summer looked full of energy and enthusiasm.The veteran actors didn't have any other engagements, so they decided to stay and help her run lines and go through the scenes. Summer was a naturally gifted performer, but even the most talented needed time. She was still a rookie, and there were still flaws in the finer details.Thankfully, both the professor and the veteran actors were extremely patient and corrected her patiently.Summer had a great sense of comprehension. She didn't need lengthy explanations and could quickly grasp the essence of any explanation.Class continued all the way until noon.Kristen checked the time. "It's lunchtime now. Thank you so much for your time today. Lunch is on me."Clint patted his knee and
Acting was considered a lowly profession in the eyes of the older generation. So when the grandfather found out, he flew into a rage.In the script, the scenes between the two characters started with mutual resentment. But gradually, they started to understand that they were the only family each other had left.With time, they forgave each other and healed together.The emotional arc between them was one of the most complex in the entire show."Old man, what do you have to do with me? What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Summer's entire expression suddenly changed before anyone could even call out to start.She snapped at Clint in irritation.Clint was taken aback for a moment before he realized that Summer had already entered the scene and was acting."You ungrateful brat! You think I want to meddle in your affairs? You're the one walking around with our family name!" Clint slammed the table, immediately slipping into character."There are tons of people with this su
