Chapter 33


    Chapter 33 Patricia Hughes


    Patricia Hughes was a veteran actress in the film industry, having spent more than twenty years of her


    life appearing on screen.


    Now that she was middle-aged, she was usually cast in supporting roles of older characters, such as


    the mother of the heroine or an elder nobledy.


    Although she was not as popr as she once used to be, she had umted a lot of connections


    over the years.


    Moreover, she was a member of the Film and Television Association in Sheffield, which made her quite


    powerful and influential in the entertainment industry.


    Patricia had always been nice to Vivian.She had been treating the girl as her own daughter since


    Vivian was a child.


    After taking acting sses from a young age, Vivian hadter managed to sign with Yeez


    Entertainment, and even be the lead actress of a web series.


    But her sess could mostly be attributed to Patricia, who had helped her a lot behind the scenes.


    Vivian had always felt a distance with her mother, Julie, because thetter had an air of aloofness


    about her.


    On the other hand, Patricia was always very kind to Vivian and doted on her all the time.


    Although Vivian would never admit it out loud, she relied on Patricia much more than she did on her


    own mother.


    "Aunt Patricia, how have you been?"


    Vivian greeted cheerfully as soon as she saw Patricia walk into the living room.


    Patricia handed her handbag to Lily out of habit.


    Then, with a kind smile on her face, she held Vivian''s arm and sat next to her on the sofa.


    "Have a taste of the coffee.I made it specially for you," Bill said, bringing over a cup of coffee.


    Patricia took the cup with a smile.


    Before she could even thank him, Vivianunched into the story of her audition.She exaggerated many


    of the details, describing Maria as a scheming woman who wanted to be famous by any means


    possible.


    However, she conveniently left out the fact that she had gotten stage fright.


    "My dear girl, when you called me over in such a hurry, I thought something big must have happened."


    Shaking her head in amusement, Patricia stirred the coffee with a silver spoon, dissolving the sugar


    cube.


    Then, she lifted her head and looked at Vivian in a rxed way.


    "Vivian, you have been in the entertainment industry for quite some time.You should have already


    gotten used to such situations.Don''t you see it? Everyone flocks here, thinking that they can be


    famous overnight.But what happens to them? A fish eye could never be a pear," Patricia


    exined elegantly.


    The pride and confidence in her words had always been what Vivian admired the most.


    "You are right! A fish eye could never be a pearl!"


    Vivian echoed, finally feeling a sense of relief.


    In her eyes, Maria, the country girl, was just a fish eye.

    Inparison, Vivian, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, was a valuable pearl.


    "But..." Vivian continued with a hint of worry.


    "What if Maria is lucky enough to be the lead actress in the show?"


    Now that Vivian had failed in the audition, she couldn''t bear to see Maria seed.


    Patricia shook her head with a faint smile.


    "Silly girl, listen to me.Just beforeing here,I signed a contract with Yeez Entertainment.I will be


    ying the role of a noblewoman in the Legend of Anne.As for the lead actress, it''s definitely Lyndsey


    and not some nameless country girl."


    Patricia was telling the truth as far as she knew; she had no idea that Lyndsey was selected as the lead


    actress only because Maria had refused the part.


    "Really? That''s great!" Vivian was overjoyed.


    It turned out that she hadn''t lost to Maria after all.


    As for the fact that Lyndsey was the lead actress of the show, it was something that Vivian could easily


    ept.


    After all, Vivian had only starred in a web series, while Lyndsey was an award- winning actress known


    all over the country.


    However, Vivian still had a request.She held Patricia''s arm and pleaded with her.


    "Aunt Patricia, I didn''t get cast for any role in the show yet.Please help me!"


    Seeing Vivian act spoiled like this, Patricia didn''t feel annoyed or repulsed.


    Instead, she gave her a doting look and took out a performance contract from her limited edition LV


    bag.


    "I''ve already arranged it for you.Although it is a supporting role, you''ll appear in a lot of scenes.You will


    be acting as my daughter..."
