Chapter 333
Looking at "Federic" and "Melinda" from another angle, it''s just a big bummer of a tragedy.
ying the role of "Danielle" is a tough gig. If Izabe doesn''t hit the right notes, she could easily
get steamrolled by Harper and Ariana.
After all, she doesn''t have the same camaraderie as them, and she''s ying a viin that audiences
love to hate.
A headache hit Izabe for the first time since her rebirth. She can''t afford to take an L in the first
round!
One night, Brad York rang her up to check on the script she got.
"Here Comes the Superstars has started rolling. I asked Mr. Kane how you''re doing, but he kept his
lips sealed. Can you spill the beans about the script? Maybe I can throw some advice your way."
Izabe didn''t n on keeping Brad York in the dark, so she immediately spilled the tea.
"The script is Golden Age."
"That''s a solid script! Which part are you ying?" Brad York was taken aback by the unexpected
casting dynamics of one-on-one, one-on-two, and two-on-two.
Brad York figured it would be a ssic romance between the leads. If Izabe got the part of
"Melinda" she could knock it out of the park because she shared the same vibes as Melinda. Plus,
Melinda is a crowd-pleaser. When the movie first came out, she garnered a lot of fans.
"No, not Melinda. It''s Danielle."
Brad York went silent momentarily before asking, "Who are you sharing the stage with?"
"Harper and Ariana."
Izabe waited patiently. After half a minute, she wondered if there was a problem with Brad York''s
phone.
"Mr. York, you still there?"
A sigh came from the other end, "I''m starting to think someone''s out to get you. Harper''s the leading
man in Golden Age, and his acting chops speak for themselves. He bagged a ton of awards for this
movie back in the day. And you know Ariana. I won''t go into details about her. If you were only up
against Ariana, you could have the upper hand. But you''re stuck with both of them. The same
teacher trained them, and there were rumors about them, so they''re probably thick as thieves. I''m
worried they might gang up on you."
Izabe responded, "Mmm, I get it."
"Don''t you have anything else to say?"
"All I can do is give it my all." The show hasn''t even started. No way she''s getting cold feet now.

Brad York figured it was better to boost Izabe''s spirit rather than spewing useless words. Even if
she loses, she can''t go down without a fight.
"Don''t worry. Even if you lose the first round, I''ll still pick you."
With six days left to the performance, Izabe first watched Golden Age and then got acquainted
with "Danielle" through her own interpretation, gradually immersing herself in the story.
Danielle''s life was all about love. She yearned for love. Federic gave her warmth, so she clung to
him with all her might.
No one understood this better than Izabe. She expended all her strength in her past life and still
couldn''t find that warmth.
A poem suddenly came to Izabe''s mind.
--Here is destion, devoid of life,
--Then you came, gracing it with your presence.
--Miraculously, life flourished,
--This is my heart.
The words could also be read in reverse.
This is my heart; miraculously, life flourished, then you came, gracing it with your presence; here is
destion, devoid of life.
To Danielle, Federic was the one who brought her light and warmth but also plunged her into
darkness.
She could''ve lived in darkness if no one had offered her warmth.
Danielle was sold to a brothel when she was barely old enough to speak. She was beaten daily, her
body covered in wounds, save for her face.
Growing up in the dark, the innocence of a young girl gradually morphed into a twisted, paranoid
obsession. She reserved all her feigned kindness for Federic alone, only to watch the man she
loved to die in her arms, living a life worse than death in the ensuing years.
After understanding the script, she reached out to Harper about rehearsing their scenes together.
She thought he would refuse, but he agreed straight away. The next morning, the three of them met
in the rehearsal room.
Ariana kept interrupting Izabe''s lines with Harper, trying to get a word in every now and then.
Harper always sided with Ariana, which put Izabe at a disadvantage.
In the script, Danielle was deeply in love with Federic. But looking at Harper''s face, Izabe felt
nothing.
After a hasty run-through of the lines, Izabe hadn''t found her groove before it ended.
"We''re done with the lines. Let''s go, big brother." Ariana tried to pull Harper away.
Harper said, "Miss Salotti, I have to go. I have othermitments. If you have any questions, you
can ask me in the group. Also, a piece of advice: your lines could use some work. You should hire a
professional acting coach to practice more..."
