Chapter 51 Samuel''s Promise


    "So, you want to know why you didn''t get chosen. Right?" Samuel gently asked, ncing at Julia.


    Thetter slowly nodded.


    Samuel sighed and scratched his head. "The scandal was one of the reasons why you weren''t chosen.


    However, Director Zhang was also forced to choose Leona, who''s the producer''s mistress. In order to


    keep the financial sponsorship, Director Zhang had no choice but to choose her."


    "But a person like Director Zhang..." Julia furrowed her eyebrows. Director Zhang was such a well-


    esteemed director. Why would he agree to this?


    "You are too simple, Julia." Samuel gave her a sad smile. "It''s not umon in this industry. No matter


    how great a director is, they won''t be able to film without the proper financial support.


    Do you really think the world is filled with good people?"


    Julia grimly lowered her head, lost in thought. As she stared, her phone suddenly lit up to reveal a


    message from Director Guo.


    He asked her how she was amidst the situation and asked when she would be able to start shooting.


    Julia''s eyes widened in surprise.


    She thought that he wouldn''t contact her anymore after the scandal. He unexpectedly didn''t abandon


    her in her time of need.


    Julia paused for a moment and typed her reply. "Director Guo, aren''t you afraid of my scandal? Won''t it


    affect the movie?"


    She immediately received a reply from him. He revealed that Jean exined to him what had


    happened between Julia and her mother. Since the scandal publiclybeled her as an evil daughter, it


    was a perfect opportunity as her role was to be a malicious woman. He didn''t really care about the


    scandal because it was only going to increase the film''s publicity.


    She frowned upon reading his message.


    Samuel looked at Julia and found her scowling. "What''s wrong? Why do you look so upset? Please tell


    me. I might be able to help you."


    Julia thought about it. Samuel was her best friend, so he should at least know what was going on.


    She narrated everything to him and asked, "I really can''t make up my mind now. I feel like Jean didn''t


    just help me out of kindness. It feels like a trap and I don''t know what to do."


    With an aggressive sigh, Julia closed her eyes. "Meanwhile, I''m worried about something else.


    Everyone already thinks that I''m a bad person. If I were to y a role that is a vicious woman, the


    netizens might attack me again. I''m not really sure if I can make up my mind just yet."


    "You are overthinking," Samuel replied. "Supporting actresses give the audience a deeper impression


    of the movie. Even if the audience is bad-mouthing you, it means that they acknowledge your acting


    skills. Don''t you think so?


    Not everyone can execute the supporting role well. Think about it, if you do a good job with this, then a


    lot of opportunities will open up to you. When you be popr, a lot of directors will approach you


    to offer you the leading roles. So what do you say?"


    "But..." Julia stammered, worry evident in her eyes.


    "What is it?" Samuel furrowed his eye brows at her. "The opportunity is already right in front of you. You


    must seize it.


    Don''t worry. As long as you do your best, then I''ll make sure to wipe out all the negative things about


    you circting on the Inte."

    Julia didn''t ask what he meant, but she knew that he wouldn''t tell her even if she insisted.


    With a deep sigh, she nkly stared at her phone again. "Of course I know that I should grab the


    opportunity. But Jean and I aren''t on good terms right now and I am afraid that she won''t leave me


    alone. I''m just worried what if I can''t handle them while we''re shooting?"


    "You are so silly." Samuel let out a breath and shook his head. "If she wants to maintain her image as a


    good woman, Jean has to be careful not to expose how she really is. That is to say she will be very


    stealthy and won''t do anything out in the open. Just be careful to keep an eye on her. Besides, just


    because she troubles you, doesn''t mean you can''t trouble her either, right?"


    "You are right." Julia nodded in agreement, he had a good point.


    Since she''d already renounced her ties with her sister, she wasn''t going to try to maintain a good


    rtionship with her.


    Jean hadid out far too many traps for her and it was time that she fought back.


    Feeling motivated by Samuel''s point, Julia informed Director Guo that she could start at any time.


    She felt better after sending him the message.


    "Are you happy now?" Samuel gave her a dimpled grin. "Let''s eat. Everything is almost cooked."


    As they conversed, Samuel poured the meat into the pot. It was steaming hot. Julia picked up a piece


    of duck to eat and moaned in satisfaction. "I haven''t had hotpot since you went filming. It''s still so


    delicious."


    "Then you should eat more," Samuelughed and ced a piece of beef on her te.


    After eating the beef, she suddenly remembered that Samuel had good news. Julia casted a nce at


    him and asked, "By the way, what was the good news you were talking about earlier? What


    happened?"


    A devilish grin appeared on Samuel''s face. He slowly ced his chopsticks on the table and cleared


    his throat. "Didn''t you tell me that Terence bullied you? I decided to help you vent out your anger."


    "What do you mean?" Julia gave him a quizzical expression, she had a bad feeling about what he was


    going to say.


    However, Samuel didn''t notice her change in expression. With a cheerful grin, he said, "A few days


    ago, Terence invited me to be the new spokesperson for hispany''s new product, a sports


    drink. I thought it was a good opportunity to avenge you, so I agreed to meet up with him.


    I didn''t know what I was going to do, but I suddenly had an idea when I saw him."
