    Whether thesepliments were genuine or not, there was no doubt that the show had truly be


    popr.


    Celeste smiled and said, “I was just helping Mrs. Rowley out. “Mastermind of Law” was theirpany’s


    project. She couldn’t find an actress and thought I looked okay, so she asked me to act in it. I was just


    trying it out.”


    Just okay?…


    The wives had nothing to say. Celeste was far from just okay. Her beauty was absolutely captivating.

    Thankfully Liam married her, or every otherdy would’ve felt threatened, her face would make any


    man fall in love at first sight.


    Mrs. Kelley nced at Sydney and suddenly chuckled, “Actually, we outsiders don’t understand acting.


    We’re not professionals who can tell good from bad at a nce, right, Ms. Denton?”


    Celeste frowned at Mrs. Kelley.


    Why was it her again? Liam had won money from herst time, and apparently she still held a grudge.


    Sydney said gently, “I’m just an ordinary actor. I can’t im to be a professional.”


    “Ms. Denton is too modest. If you’re not professional, then there’s no one in the entertainment industry


    who can im to be. Celeste said she was just trying it out, so maybe you could just casually review


    her performance, and we’ll just casually listen to it.”


    Mrs. Kelley finished speaking and smiled at Celeste, “Ms. Campbell, you don’t mind, do you?”


    Cursing her inwardly, Celeste hid her thoughts well, gave a faint smile, and said naturally, “Not at all. I’d


    also like to hear the ‘professional‘


    evaluation.”


    Sydney then said, “In that case, I’ll speak frankly. If there’s anything I say that’s offensive, Ms.


    Campbell, please bear in mind that I’m critiquing the work and not the person.”


    Celeste smiled and said, “Feel free.”


    Sydney looked at Celeste from head to toe and began, “Ms. Campbell’s figure is quite average. From


    the scene where she picks up the package, you can see that Ms. Campbell’s back isn’t very straight,


    which is normal since she’s not a professional actor and hasn’t received any posture training; her facial


    expressions also tend to be overstated; she shows her emotions inly on her face when she cries or


    laughs, which is too much for the role she yed; and finally, the scene with the wig is too deliberate. It


    didn’t really need to be shown that way. It looked fake.”


    As Sydney talked, the wives all got nervous. When she finished with “looked fake“, they nced at


    Celeste, trying to see how she was reacting.


    Regardless of whether Sydney’s review was fair or not, openly criticizing Celeste’s acting in front of her


    was a very bold move.


    Sydney seemed slightly regretful after her criticism, and said, “Ms. Campbell, I can be a bit blunt with


    my words. I’m only referring to your acting in that scene. You don’t mind, do you?”


    “Of course not,” Celeste grinned, “Ms. Denton, yourments on me was spot on, and I’ve also


    noticed that your understanding of acting is really deep.”


    Sydney looked at Celeste with confusion. What Celeste said just now was pretty sharp, yet she didn’t


    get mad?


    Biting her lip, Sydney replied, “I wouldn’t say it’s deep, you know. I’ve just acted a lot, so I’ve gotten the


    hang of it over time.”


    Celeste put on an “oh, I see” expression, and asked humbly, “So, Ms. Denton must have won lots of


    awards for acting, right?”


    Sydney’s face changed slightly, her fingers involuntarily clenched.


    Despite the high view count of Sydney’s works and her annual appearances in the top rankings, she


    had never received any awards, not even a


    nomination.
