    Chapter 338


    Why was Zoe suddenly thinking about ra? The way she aged unnaturally quickly under stress, her


    hands that were filled with calluses, and how she always cooked her good food when she was already


    penniless...Her tears began to trickle out the corner of her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.She


    thought she would never forgive ra for the rest of her life or be soft on her, let alone acknowledge


    her.


    But in just two weeks, she was already worried about ra.


    She had no idea how long she had been crying, but her tears could not stop flowing.


    Zoe received a text from Linda in the afternoon.


    Before she received it, she actually did not know if she would force herself and ask others for help, or


    really wait to die.


    Nheless, the text arrived, and Zoe stayed silent for a long while after that.


    [Your showbiz career is being smothered in every aspect, save for one option.You can take it if you''re


    willing, and I understand that you can''t survive after losing everything since you used to lead avish


    life.Likewise, I understand too many A-listers getting caught in various scandals, and were forced to


    sell themselves, body and soul.But just think about it—I''ll give this director''s number to you.You can


    even negotiate to not show your face.] Zoe stared at the number sent to her by Linda.


    Zoe doubted that Linda was trying to humiliate by sending her to film pornography.


    Linda was just used to theings and goings of stars and artists who would do anything for money.


    In that sense, she was doing all she could, out of kindness, to help Zoe.


    Zoe''s hands were shaking even as she dialed the number.


    Everyone in showbiz naturally knew how tragic her situation was, and therefore she was squeezed


    down to only fifty grand for one film.


    She agreed to it, with the only condition being for her face to be censored out.


    The director agreed to it and arranged for an 8 PM audition.


    She got up and went to clean herself at a public bath, already used to having everything around her


    being dpidated.


    For example, the water from the faucet would be hot and cold, there was hair and garbage all around


    the floor, and all she could use was the cheapest hygiene products.


    Once she stepped out, she dried her hair while ra watched her.


    "Are you leaving?" ra asked.


    Zoe nodded, and ra handed Zoe the hundred -dor bill again.


    "Take this."


    Zoe stared at it for a while, and took it—she had no money at the moment, let alone anything for the


    taxi fare.As she left with the money, however, ra told her, "Don''te back."


    Zoe ignored ra, but she could imagine the beating ra was in for if she did not.


    She was walking down the dimly lit stairs when she received that call from Quinn.She hesitated for a


    long while before finally answering.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    It was then that she remembered promising Cordy that she would stay with Cordy until her trial, only to


    end up breaking that promise.


    Zoe could not stop her tears welling in her eyes at Quinn''s words, but she knew very well that Quinn


    and Cordy would ept her unconditionally.


    Even so, she was utterly reluctant to trouble them.
