Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 74 Humiliate Yourself

Natalia looked like she suddenly understood something.

“So you know the role too!”

OMG! She had been fighting for the role for a whole month, but failed, how would she not know it?

However, Natalia seemed to have her mind set on playing dumb and Jessica could do nothing about it.

Taking a deep breath, Jessica said in gruff tone, “This role requires great acting skills. The newbie

under you are not qualified for it, and you know better than me. Why do you still want to humiliate

yourself?”

Natalia smiled.

“I won't know whether I'm bringing disgrace on myself until I try, will I?”

She paused and took a glance at Jessica. The twinkle in her eyes was dripping with sarcasm.

“I did hear that somebody had been fighting for the role to no avail, yet still not giving up. It sounds

more like bringing disgrace upon themselves. Don’t you think so?”

“You!”

Unable to remain calm, Jessica could not help but feel angry.

She could put up with Natalia stealing the supporting female role Kallie Franklin in ‘The Youth’. Was

she here to steal yet another role in ‘Chase The Wind’.

Did Natalia just have to take every role she had her eye on?

Jessica had the feeling that Natalia was deliberately doing this against her. Staring at Natalia’s smiling

face, Jessica swallowed her anger after a moment.

She squeezed a smiling face and croaked, “Since you won't listen to my advice, let's just compete for it!

We’ll see who would get the role.”

She failed last time because of Marie’s lack of commitment.

This time, she would handle it herself. Was she going to be outshone again?

That would be ridiculous!

Hamlin may prefer to use newbies in his movie, but he would have to take the box office into

consideration!

After all, she had become quite a celebrity with a huge fan base. Even if she did nothing, a lot of people

had known her already. Thus, she was in urgent need of a work with good box office; otherwise, she

would never put herself in such a humble position for a role!

As the film was shot from the male perspective, the proportion of female roles did not account much as

a whole. Because of the age, a middle-aged film star had been cast as the female lead.

Therefore, the only chance left for her was the role of Rhea, the sister of the male lead, a supporting

female role.

It was just a supporting female role. However, it was ultimately Hamlin's production, which was good

enough for a popular celebrity like her to bask in the glory.

And it was a role that matched her age and temperament.

Therefore, Jessica was confident that she would get it.

Natalia remained quiet, even though she knew what was on Jessica’s mind. As she turned around to

excuse herself, there came a voice of a man behind her. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Natalia?”

She turned her head and saw Shawn coming in.

“Shawn.”

Jessica showed a joyous face and advanced to cling to his arm. She said in a tender voice, “You are

here!”

Shawn glanced at her before nodding, “Yes, I just finished chatting with my friends. What were you

talking about?”

Of course he could smell the gunpowder in the air. And he was fully aware of the discord between

Jessica and Natalia, so he just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, before Jessica said a word, Tammy commented angrily, “Mr. Miller, you should back

Jessica up. Natalia crossed the line! She robbed Jessica’s role. Moreover, she sent Mr. Hall away when

she saw us coming, for fear that Jessica would have more talks with Mr. Hall. God knows what was on

her mind?”

Jessica smiled reluctantly, “Tammy, don't say it like that. It was definitely not my sister…sister’s

intention.”

Not her intention?

So she might indeed have asked Hamlin to leave so as not to let her talk to him!

Natalia threw a meaningful glance at Shawn, and sure enough, his face became sour.

He stared at Natalia with a furrow between his arched eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “Natalia,

Jessica has been studying the role for a long time and really love the character, don't fight with her for

the role.”

Natalia gave a slight sniff.

“Shawn Miller, what makes you think that I would do as you said?”

Shawn was stunned.

In fact, Natalia was not obliged to follow his words.

But after all, they had been together for six years, during which she had always been obedient to him

and never opposed to anything he said.

Therefore, he subconsciously took it for granted that she would listen to him.

There was a faint sense of embarrassment in the air.

A girl next to Jessica said in disdain, “Who do you think you are? Jessica doesn’t fuss over you;

otherwise, with your scandal five years ago, Mr. Hall would just ignore you!”

Jessica’s facial expression changed slightly, and she muttered, “Don’t bring it up.”

However, the girl was not convinced, “Why not? It is true! She tried every effort to take away anything

you desired, right?”

“Just like five years ago, she was not able to enter the Royal College of Art, so she stole your works.

Only you still protect her, a trash who turns her back against her sister for her own benefit.”

“If my words count, I’d let everyone know what she's done and let them see her true face, so they won't

be deceived by her appearance!”

“Stop it!”

A murmur of discussion rose around them.

“What happened five years ago? What does it have anything to do with the Royal College of Art?”

“Don't you know? They are sisters, it is said that five years ago, the elder sister was jealousy of the

young sister’s talent and stole her work for the submission in her own name. She was caught red-

handed in the end! In that way, she failed to be admitted to that school, neither did the younger sister.”

“Ah? Really?”

“It was circulated all over the Riverside High School and the Royal College of Art. It is the truth!”

“What a wicked woman! The Royal College of Art only recruits students once every three years. What a

rare opportunity!”

“Yeah, it is known to all.”

“If she failed to be admitted to that school, it only means she was not good enough. How could she

steal other people's works? What a despicable woman!”

“Yeah.”

Marie raised her eyebrows complacently upon hearing the voices of the people around.

Seeing this, Jessica showed a flurried expression on her clear and beautiful face. She explained

immediately, “Please stop that, it is not true. Natalia... Natalia did not do it on purpose!”

“Jessica, you are just too kind! Why are you still covering it up for such a person!”

“Yes, she is always taking advantage of you! And you still speak for her. She would not be grateful.

Don't be silly!”

“No, my sister is not that kind of person.”

“Jessica, you are too soft. If I were you and have such an elder sister, I will reveal the truth to the world

and fight tit for tat so that she will feel ashamed for the rest of her life!”
