Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Woman, Name Your Price!

David Locke finished speaking and looked at the camera. He frowned slightly as he saw the woman slowly approaching in the lens and asked the assistant director beside him, "What’s her name?"

"Mary Scott, she’s an artist from Starlight," Derek Davis responded hastily. He hadn’t expected Director Locke to ask for the woman’s name.

"Mary Scott?" David Locke chewed on the name in his mouth, feeling no sense of familiarity. He then looked at her face covered in thick powder that could not mask her beauty. For some unknown reason, a delicate and childish face flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. How could she be here?

"Is there a problem?" Derek Davis asked, a bit worried.

David Locke shook his head and continued to watch the camera screen.

Today’s scene marked a turning point for Flora Lew, a dancer. She was originally a foreign student but, due to her family’s decline, led a double life—playing a good student by day and surviving in debauchery by night to continue her studies.

Until her steadfast refusal to sell her body was broken; punished for her disobedience by her manager. Today’s scene depicted her being gang-raped for defying her boss and subsequently being rescued by the second male lead. Hopelessly in love with him afterward, she was exploited to become a spy and met a tragic death.

It’s a very tragic character.

Today, Mary Scott was auditioning for the scene where she was rescued by the second male lead during the gang rape.

Charlotte Leigh coldly watched Mary Scott thoroughly embody a young dancer, despite the plain kimono and heavy makeup. She felt a pang of jealousy. Who would have thought Mary, who had fallen out of favor, could be fortunate enough to be recommended by Best Actor.

Not to mention, she was auditioning for the third female lead.

Even after pulling all her strings, Charlotte could only land the fourth female lead.

This was, after all, Director Locke’s film. Anyone cast in his movie would dramatically boost their career.

Otherwise, with her current fame, she wouldn’t go to such lengths for the fourth female role.

However...

Charlotte glanced at Mary’s kimono, a calculating smile forming at her lips.

Trying to step on her to climb higher? Dream on!

Mary Scott initially felt a bit nervous, but as soon as she got into character, she immediately relaxed. She first rejected the Geisha House boss, then packed her belongings to leave. Little did she know she would be pushed to the ground as she stepped out of the room.

The person was none other than the John who had tried repeatedly to buy her virginity, followed by his two subordinates.

"What... what do you want?" Mary Scott, in character, fell hard and backed away.

David Locke stared intently at the screen. The girl’s eyes expressed fear, unease, and a glimmer of hope. She portrayed the dancer’s role with intricate detail.

But these weren’t the reasons David was fixated on the screen. He finally heard the girl’s voice.

Even after six years, he couldn’t forget that voice.

After a while, David turned his head. "Give me her profile."

Soon, he looked at the actress’s file. Without the heavy makeup, the photos clearly showed a face he was intimately familiar with.

She had matured and was more refined compared to six years ago.

Looking up, he saw the girl was already pinned under the fat John, and the second male lead had yet to appear.

David’s expression turned exceedingly grim as if he had been transported back six years.

Derek Davis, thinking David had taken a liking to Mary Scott, saw the director’s frown and dark expression as he watched the screen. Sneakily, he gave Charlotte the sign of approval.

Charlotte, seeing this, signaled to the actor pressing down on Mary Scott.

In the shot, Mary quickly sensed something wrong. Because she hadn’t known what scene she would be filming beforehand and her kimono was heavy, she hadn’t worn any protective clothing beneath. It wasn’t evident until the actor moved aggressively and tore her costume open, exposing her delicate, pale legs to the air.

If Mary hadn’t prepared, then how could the male actor not know? Yet he went as far as to touch her skin intentionally. Mary felt a wave of nausea but, knowing that calling "cut" might cost her the role, she gritted her teeth and struggled to keep him away.

But her struggle only made the fat actor more aggressive. He even intentionally blocked the camera, tearing off her underwear.

Mary fought back frantically, but just then, Charlotte "accidentally" spilled milk tea on the second male lead, who was about to come to the rescue.

Without any assistance, Mary fought desperately, her eyes widening in disbelief as he became genuinely aggressive.

"Get away..." she rasped in a low growl.

Derek Davis watched smugly. This woman really thought he couldn’t handle her? Feeling triumphant, he deliberately said to David Locke, "Director Locke, wasn’t I right? This actress always pushes the boundaries. Her screams are so realistic. I’ve heard she’s quite skilled. Every male actor who worked with her got visited..."

David eyed the screen coldly. Hearing the assistant director’s words, a chilling gleam appeared in his eyes. She was despicable as ever.

"Bastard, let go of me, help!" Mary Scott’s eyes filled with tears. But no matter how she struggled, the three men surrounding her made it futile.

An assistant standing nearby sensed something was wrong and tried to rush in but was stopped by Charlotte.

The assistant panicked. "Let me go, stop, we are not filming anymore!"

David Locke heard the commotion and looked over coldly. Derek Davis immediately got up. "Director Locke, I’ll handle it."

Unexpectedly, just as Derek spoke, David leaped to his feet. While everyone else was still puzzled, he strode onto the set. Before anyone could react, he kicked the fat actor off Mary Scott, then glanced at her partially exposed lower body. Fury surged within him, and he threw his coat over her. He lifted her and carried her to his lounge.

Mary’s voice was half gone. She didn’t understand what was happening until she saw a face she dreamt about. Tears still wet on her cheeks, she stared at him, hardly believing. "Dobbin..."

But the man holding her paid no attention, kicking open the lounge door and throwing her roughly onto his bed. He coldly stared at her disheveled state, her torn underwear glaringly visible. "Look at you, willing to do anything for a role. Name your price!"

Mary was still in shock from suddenly being picked up by David Locke. The relief she felt upon rescue and the surprise of seeing him turned into bitter irony. She didn’t expect, after all these years, he would see her like this.

Thinking of years of guilt and facing his contemptuous gaze made her wonder what her persistence was worth.

"What? You enjoyed it so much just before, and now you’re playing shy?" David asked harshly.

Mary’s expression changed again. With the dancer’s heavy makeup, she smiled seductively at him. "It’s my honor to be taken by Director Locke."

David’s fists clenched suddenly. "Moll Scott, you truly are despicable!"
