Chapter 50: Chapter 50 She has read the script of "Twin Flowers

Maximilian finished handling all the matters and returned to the group to report. Ignatius Leclair stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling streets below, and spoke lightly: "You’re saying she showed no emotion?"

Maximilian looked somewhat troubled and said tactfully, "Miss Carter has always been relatively reserved and composed."

Reserved and composed? When he went, Miss Carter didn’t have a trace of a smile on her face, only an air of cold indifference and detachment. Anyone else in her situation would’ve been overjoyed.

Ignatius Leclair’s lips curled slightly, his handsome features tinged with a hint of interest. So she still has that expressionless look. The little girl had indeed grown up, learned to conceal her emotions. No matter how intense his demands at night, no matter how unwilling she might be, she dared not show it. Instead, she’d quietly grip him, lure him, make him lose control and let her off early.

"Why do you think Delphine Carter entered the entertainment sector?" Ignatius Leclair’s slender fingers brushed his chin thoughtfully.

From childhood to adulthood, she never liked crowds or bustling scenes, always timidly hiding behind others. With such a personality, why step into the chaotic world of the entertainment sector?

Maximilian was stumped. He knew very little about this Miss Carter. After all, back then, it was always Arthur White following Ignatius closely. When Arthur left years ago, he only left him and Tristan transferred to South Asia with a single reminder: "Don’t even mention the name of Miss Carter from the Leclair Estate in front of the boss."

"I guess Miss Carter might genuinely enjoy acting." Maximilian replied hesitantly.

Ignatius Leclair’s lips curled in a mocking smile.

"Is there an issue with the manager?"

"No issues. Everything’s been thoroughly vetted." Maximilian replied. To gain access to Emerald Lake Estate, not only were backgrounds and financial status inspected, but even vulnerabilities and weaknesses needed to be firmly grasped. Around Ignatius Leclair, there couldn’t be the slightest slip-up.

Ignatius Leclair nodded and dismissed him.

Delphine slept deeply until dawn. That night, Ignatius hadn’t returned to the villa. She got up early and jogged along the beach for half an hour. Upon returning, Kyla Zamora was already waiting in the reception room to take her to the audition.

"This time, the audition script has been kept strictly confidential. It’s said Theodore Hughes is prepared to make a do-or-die comeback." Kyla Zamora noticed Delphine’s nervousness and smiled, "Don’t be anxious. I know you previously filmed Tristan’s ’The Abyssal Heights.’ If you could get into his production, your acting must be solid. Worst case, we can bring funding into the crew this time."

Theodore Hughes’s comeback project reportedly required a conservative estimate of one hundred million in investments. She’d heard he had been trying hard to secure funding, but in the entertainment sector, coupled with the grudges he had accumulated, obtaining funding was no easy feat. That’s also why Theodore Hughes didn’t use leading A-list actresses but instead recruited second- and third-tier artists. The lack of funds was the brutal reality his crew was facing. On the other hand, Delphine’s studio had money in abundance. Kyla Zamora was brimming with confidence about Delphine landing the female lead role this time.

Delphine nodded and took a deep breath.

Arriving at the audition venue, there were quite a few people, including several second-tier artists. Delphine took her audition number and waited on the side.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was finally her turn.

Delphine walked into the audition hall. Inside, only the first row was seated with judges, and the curtains were tightly drawn layer upon layer—it seemed this audition was highly confidential. The staff handed her a scene excerpt and gave her ten minutes to prepare before starting the audition.

The scene excerpt was concise: A young girl experiences hypnosis in a dimly lit room. In the midst of a fierce dream struggle, she unconsciously speaks of her tragic childhood.

She had read this script before, and Delphine’s heartbeat quickened. Just the night before, Ignatius Leclair had brought home a pile of scripts. She hadn’t expected Theodore Hughes’s film to be the very same ’Twin Flowers’ she gravitated toward. This feeling was akin to having a qualifying exam tomorrow, but tonight, getting hold of the exam questions ahead of time.
