Chapter 364


    After clocking out from her own department, Brooklyn headed to Ronan''s office. Ronan, who had just


    arrived, was in his office, reviewing and signing papers. Upon seeing Brooklyn, Ronan said in a


    nonchnt tone, "What''s up?"


    "Oh, Mr. Evans, I video-chatted with Cordelia this morning. She said she''s now in the States, and


    everything went smoothly," Brooklyn reported.


    "Got it." Ronan continued to hold his pen, signing papers as if nothing else mattered.


    Brooklyn hesitated, licking her lips. "Cordelia mentioned that she sent you a message on Messenger,


    but you didn''t reply. I assumed you might have missed it. Have you not marked Cordelia''s messages as


    a priority, Mr. Evans?"


    Ronan lifted his gaze to look at Brooklyn. With just one look, Brooklyn wished she could crawl into a


    hole. Ronan''s message was clear. Was this any of her business?


    "Goodbye, Mr. Evans!" Brooklyn swiftly said, closed the door to Ronan''s office, and left.

    Samantha received the pearl ne in the mail today. The sender was anonymous; she had no idea


    who it was. The ne, filled with full, gleaming pearls, was clearly valuable, much like the pearls


    from Tahiti. Samantha feared it was from Deanna, worried about another phosphorus fire incident.


    Moreover, a ne was worn around the neck; if it contained other substances, it would be far from


    amusing.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Ever since Samantha stepped into the world of showbiz, she was familiar with the cunning tricks yed


    by women in ancient court dramas. For example, the queen gave a concubine an infertility ne to


    prevent her from bing pregnant. Samantha knew these plots like the back of her hand. So,


    Samantha took the ne to a professional appraisal institution. The appraisal confirmed that there


    were no harmful substances in the ne, meaning that Samantha could wear the ne safely.


    She was just in need of a statement piece for an uing audition; this saved her a fair amount of


    money. The pearl ne certainly added to her appeal. She wore it to the set, ready to audition for a


    new role.


    The set for "Say Your Name."


    The film, produced by Kent''s productionpany, was a suspense movie. Samantha was auditioning


    for the secondary antagonist role. However, the casting director told her she wasn''t impressive and that


    she had no substantial possessions, no formal training, and no noteworthy work.


    Samantha was quite dejected. Just as she was about to leave, Marian entered the set. She was off that


    day and hade to the set to hang out.


    The ne around Samantha''s neck caught her eye. Marian quickly went to the casting director,


    picking up the resume of the girl who had just left.


    Samantha. Deanna''s former assistant. Indeed, she was Cordelia''s cousin, and the ne around her


    neck was undoubtedly the one Marian had given to Cordelia.


    In order to shift the risks, Cordelia had casually passed on the ne to her nemesis-cousin!


    The ne was a sincere gift Marian had bought for Cordelia, an expensive one at that, just to get


    on Cordelia’s good terms. First, Cordelia discarded her care package, then she gave away the


    ne purchased for her.


    "Director, call her back. I know her. You could give her a chance to y the main antagonist or the


    secondary one," Marian suggested.


    If Samantha was Cordelia''s enemy, then the enemy of her enemy was her friend. She was determined


    to elevate Samantha’s career.
