Chapter 78
After coming home from university, Yasmin shut herself in her mom, sobbing incessantly. As for Yvette, continued to work on the Revival Potion.
she remained indifferent as
“Woohoo! Mr. Franklin offered me a role in his upcoming film!” Yasmin suddenly burst forth from her room and made a beeline for Yvette, her eyes sparkling with irrepressible glee
With Yara and Irwin out, and Sean still busy with his Exports training, Yasmin decided to drop the pretense, giving Yvette a nasty look before erupting into a victorious cackde.
“Who’s laughing now, Yvette? You tried so hard to sabotage me, but I still landed the role in Mr. Franklin’s production! Bet you weren’t expecting that!”
Despite all her boasting, Yvette paid her no mind, continuing with her work as it she wasn’t even there.
Livid about her indifference, Yasmin decided to spread the news elsewhere. Her “good friends” immediately called to congratulate her. She Intentionally put it on loudspeaker, making a point of flaunting it in front of Wette.
“Mr. Frankdin was worried that filming in another location would affect my studies, so he decided to film this movie at Jubilile University. It couldn’t be more convenient–I can literally walk from class to the filmset!”
An exaggerated flattering voice rang out from the other end of the phone, saying, “Oh my, Yas! Mr. Franklin is truly going above and beyond for you! He even chose to film the movie at our campus for your convenience. It’s clear how much Mr. Franklin values you!”
“Exactly, Yas! With Mr. Franklin’s support, you’re definitely on your way to stardom! Please don’t forget who your real friends are when you’re hobnobbing with A–listers, olcay?”
Although Yasmin felt incredibly smug inside, she humbly said, “Oh, stop, you guys are too much! I’m so fortunate to have Mr. Franklin’s recognition. My only focus now is to do my best in this role and show my gratitude for his support.”
“You’re such a class act, Yas! We could all learn a thing or two from you.”
As she noticed Yvette’s perpetual air of indifference, Yasmin’s face finally contorted in a brief flash of irritation.
What was wrong with Yvette, that bumpkin from the countryside? She wasn’t even a little bit jealous even though she had been noticed by a distinguished director, whose acclaim extended far and wide!
Why was she so unperturbed by It?
Yasmin drew in a deep breath and persisted with her snide remarks. She didn’t believe for a second that Yvette wouldn’t be jealous of her.
“If I successfully pull off this role, I’ll be able to sign with Starlight Entertainment as an actress! After that, I’ll become a well–known celebrity, and you’ll still be nothing but a mere country bumpkin!”
“You think you’ll get signed by Starlight Entertainment, huh?” Yvette’s smile was tinged with mockery. “Are you absolutely sure about that?”
“Of course I’m sure!” Yasmin replied without hesitation, then gave Yvette a disdainful look.
“You have no idea what Starlight is, right? It’s the top talent agency in the country, renowned for its star–making prowess. Ash belongs to Starlight as well!
“As soon as I’m part of Starlight, I’ll definitely become a household name like Ash. As for us, our trajectories will separate, and you’ll be a mere speck in my rearview mirror-
“You should stop deluding yourself,” Yasmin was reveling in her fantasy, but Yvette cruelly pulled the rug out from under her. “There’s no way Starlight Entertaiment would ever sign you.”
“Who are you to say Starlight Entertainment wouldn’t sign me?” With her fantasy shattered before her, Yasmin instantly flew into a rage, plaring fiercelyat Yvette.
“You’re simply jealous of me, Yvette! You can’t bear the thought of me becoming a celebrity while you’ll always be a bumpkin from the countryside!”
Yvette scoffed, a smirk playing on her lips. “Jealous of you? Am I supposed to be jealous of your pathetic plano playing? Or should I be jealous of your inability to handle anything remotely challenging? Or perhaps jealous of your total incompetence and lack of any redeeming qualities?
“You’re so average, yet you act like you’re all that. Where do you get the nerve?”
Starlight Entertainment’s star–making prowess was unparalleled because they had a keen eye for spotting talents with potential and vahe,
Even if Yasmin threw herself at Starlight Entertainment, they wouldn’t spare her a second glance.
“How alare a country bumpkin like you insult me?” Yasmin’s face contorted with rage as she raised her hand to slap Yvette across the face. “I’ll teach you a lesson you won’t forget!”
