Chapter 90
Lesley continued: [Lovey Princess is just a low–budget web series. I thought I would definitely get the part, but do you know what happened?]
[After our auditions, we saw Ms. Fox picking up Becky. Everyone was speculating that Becky is the new artist Ms. Fox is currently mentoring.]
[Also, both Annie and I received our audition results for the lead role in Lovey Princess today. We both failed.]
[Annie thinks the lead role definitely went to Becky. She said it might be because Ms. Fox pulled some strings to secure the role for Becky.]
‘Lynn Fox?” Janet and Lisa both saw the message, and their faces darkened almost simultaneously.
Lisa scoffed, “No way. Lynn’s not mentoring anyone new, especially not someone like Rebecca. She’s way too old. By the time she gets famous, she’ll be past her prime. This industry is all about youth. Lynn wouldn’t be dumb enough to waste her
time on Rebecca
Janet sneered, “That’s not up to you. Figure it out. I want answers today.”
Lisa’s expression changed, and she quickly agreed, “Okay”
She took the phone and hurried off.
If Lynn were actually mentoring someone new, it would be huge news. Unless she was keeping it a secret, it wouldn’t take much to find out the truth.
Lisa spent half the day digging around and returned that afternoon with her findings.
“It’s true,” she reported to Janet. “Lynn’s got a new protégé, and her name is Becky.”
Janet exploded, smashing everything in the dressing room. Cosmetics, mirrors… Everything shattered to pieces.
Lisa hid by the door, afraid of being hit.
But still, Janet grabbed her and slapped her hard across the face
Lisa, not one for fighting, was stunned. It wasn’t until her cheek burned with pain that she realized what had happened.
Janet had hit her?
What did Janet think she was, a punching bag?
Lisa wanted to lash out, but seeing the fury in Janet’s eyes, she held back.
She couldn’t afford to lose Janet. As long as Janet kept landing roles, Lisa would keep getting those fat bonus checks. If she crossed Janet, she’d return to square one. And besides….
Becoming a movie queen wasn’t Just about talent. It was about connections and luck. And if they didn’t have those, well, they needed money.
Lisa was well aware that she wasn’t like Lynn, who navigated the entertainment industry with ease with every connection she needed.

Chapter 90
She’d managed to make Janet a movie star, mostly because Janet parents were willing to spend money. They’d invested heavily, pulled strings, and snagged top–notch scripts for Janet, allowing her to rise to fame.
Janet was angry now because she had been so unlucky lately!
After going through the ordeal of childbirth, she’d assumed the child was Theodore’s. She’d been convinced that once Theodore divorced Rebecca, she could step into Rebecca’s shoes and become the lady of the Theodore family.
But things hadn’t gone as planned.
A few days ago, Janet had taken the child for a paternity test. The results confirmed that while the child was hers, there was no biological link to Theodore.
Janet couldn’t accept it. She’d secretly taken the child to Rainbow City for another paternity test, hoping for a different outcome. But the results remained the same.
The child was indeed her own, but it was certainly not Theodores
Janet still refused to believe it. She continued to take the child to different places for paternity tests.
No matter how she tested, the results were always the same.
Janet went completely mad.
Eventually, she couldn’t hold back and called Theodore, and then…Theodore told her the truth.
That night, Janet ditched the baby. They drove to a desolate area and after checking that there were no cameras nearby, she just left the baby there.
Back in the car, they started the drive back to Macloria.
However, on the way back to Maeloria, Lisa couldn’t suppress the consciences she had left. Without Janet’s knowledge, she contacted a friend overseas and asked them to anonymously report an orphan baby to the police officer using a foreign IP.
She just hoped that the child could survive.
After returning to Maeloria, Janet seemed like a completely different person. She never mentioned Theodore or anyone from the Edwards family again. She couldn’t even Stand hearing the word “Ed“.
The mere sound of the name “Ed” was enough to make her face turn livid.
She had thrown herself into her work, meticulously choosing scripts.
However, the anger she had suppressed finally exploded today.
News of Rebecca’s flourishing career was like acid, burning through her composure and driving her to the brink of madness.
In a fit of rage, she tore through the lounge, smashing anything she could get her hands on.
After venting her rage, Janet turned to Lisa and suddenly slapped her hard across the face again.
Lisa was caught off guard. She felt a burning pain as her face was slapped to the side.
She couldn’t believe it. Janet actually hit her again?

“Why? Why does Rebecca get to debut with a top agent like Lynn, while I’m stuck with you, such trash?” Janet’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Lisa, shouting in frustration.
Everyone was born equal.
Lisa could tolerate it the first time but not the second!
“You think you’re so good?” she snapped back in frustration. “If you’re so great, why don’t you just do what Rebecca did? Find yourself a sugar daddy to bankroll your career! I’m sure they’ll get you the best agent, the best resources, and shoot you straight to the top!”
But as soon as the words came out, Lisa realized she’d gone too far.
Panic set second.”
in as she quickly looked down and mumbled, Janet… Im so sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. I just lost it for a
Regaining her composure, she quickly comforted Janet. “Janet, you’re actually amazing. You’ve always worked hard and made it on your own. Rebecca only got where she is because of Charlie. Without him, she wouldn’t be able to compete with
you.
Janet looked at Lisa, murmuring, “Charlie?”
Lisa nodded eagerly. “Yes, Charlie! Janet, don’t you see? Rebecca’s success is all thanks to him. I bet even that collaboration with Lynn was Charlie’s doing. There’s no way Rebecca could have pulled that off on her own.”
