Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Is Ignatius Leclair Suspecting Something?

Delphine returned to the small attic, used a hot towel to soothe her swollen red eyes, and packed her daily change of clothes. She planned to stay outside for a while under the guise of filming with the crew.

Delphine focused on acting, and unexpectedly saw Kyla and Jason in the afternoon.

As soon as Jason spotted her, he strutted over, wrapped her in a big bear hug, and gritted his teeth in mock anger: "Delphine, you heartless brat! How long has it been since we last saw each other? You haven’t once thought about me. And here I am, every single day, covering for you and calming down your fans!"

Since her debut, Delphine had only shot two movies and appeared once on the cover of a fashion magazine.

Her fans had been surviving on scraps for so long they were practically on the verge of tears.

Haha, that mysterious benefactor was incredibly tight-fisted. As her manager, they themselves couldn’t frequently meet their artist, let alone allow her to attend events.

Jason hadn’t finished ranting when Kyla disdainfully pushed him aside with one hand.

"Delphine, I have some news for you, but you need to stay calm." Kyla looked as though she had been injected with adrenaline, her eyes sparkling as she fixed them on the young woman.

"What news?" Delphine asked calmly, assuming from their serious expressions that it couldn’t be anything positive or negative.

"Ugh, I can’t take the suspense anymore—I’ll say it! *Twin Flowers* has been nominated for the Berlin White Magnolia Film Festival’s Panorama Section. Delphine, we’re going to Berlin!" Jason excitedly shoved Kyla aside, his face brimming with excitement as he continued, "I can barely contain my enthusiasm! Delphine, this is the only Chinese-language film nominated this year!"

The news hit Delphine like a ton of bricks. She was stunned and quietly murmured, "White Magnolia Film Festival?"

Her understanding of the industry was still quite limited. As a young girl, she’d only buried herself in books, indulged in a fleeting teenage romance, and later endured hardship—rushing about to make ends meet.

"You don’t actually not know about the Berlin Film Festival, do you?" Jason looked as though he had been swept away by a whirlwind before suddenly exclaiming, "That’s one of the four most renowned film festivals in the world—every filmmaker’s dream palace!"

Delphine widened her eyes in shock and glanced at Kyla. When she saw Kyla smiling brightly and nodding, a faint disbelief crept over her—had they really been selected?

She immediately shifted her thoughts to director Theodore Hughes, feeling genuinely happy for him. After years of silence and scandal, if he managed to win an award at this festival, his reputation in the industry might surpass many other directors, and he would join the ranks of celebrated filmmakers.

"I knew you’d react like this. If someday you manage to win Best Actress, I bet the most you’d do is smile faintly." Jason rubbed his forehead in defeat and reached out to poke her head. "What kind of wiring do you have in there?"

"Do you think Delphine is as hot-tempered as you are?" Kyla said with a cheerful smile. In this circle, countless people spilled blood and sweat just for fame and fortune—scrambling to change their destiny and gain entry into elite circles. But this young woman was already a part of that world. Going to the festival and winning an award would merely be icing on the cake.

What the two of them couldn’t guess was that Delphine wasn’t fully aware of the Berlin Film Festival’s significance. Coupled with her indifference to fame, she simply appeared a bit more reserved.

"So... is there anything I need to do?" Delphine, experiencing her first encounter with a film festival, asked with a faint smile.

"You don’t need to do anything—just show up looking your absolute best. Our entire team will attend, and we can even squeeze in some street photography while we’re at it—grab some trending buzz." Kyla chuckled, then paused for a moment, pulling her aside with a mysterious smile. "Once filming wraps up today, I’ll take you to the hospital for a full-body checkup. With the festival around the corner, we can’t afford for you to get sick."

Delphine looked slightly suspicious. Everything seemed fine—why the sudden need for a full-body checkup?

Kyla gazed fondly at the smart, spirited young woman and patted her hand with satisfaction. Leaning in, she lowered her voice and said, "Delphine, Mr. Leclair genuinely cares about you. He specifically called and told me to take you to the hospital."

Delphine froze for a second, the morning’s argument replayed in her mind, leaving her inexplicably startled.

Was Ignatius Leclair... suspecting something?
