Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Many Taboos Must Not Be Asked

Delphine walked out of the audition hall and nodded at Sister Zhao, who was waiting outside. Sister Zhao was briefly surprised but quickly became overjoyed.

"Twin Flowers" is the second drama Delphine has actually filmed. The official Weibo account for "Twin Flowers" announced the news immediately. Director Theodore Hughes and the relevant producers also shared the post, tagging Delphine’s official Weibo.

Jason had already updated Delphine’s Weibo to reflect Delphine Studio, now certified as an artist under Joy Media.

Upon learning of the company switch, the fans—affectionately called "Green Veggies"—started looking up Joy Media, only to come up empty-handed. Chaos erupted, and many began tagging the official account.

"What kind of trash media company is this? With so many big-name film companies in South Asia, why didn’t she sign with one of them? This looks like they’re dragging our idol into a pit. Protest! Strong protest!"

Jason was at a loss for words. Little Green Veggies, this is anything but a trash company—it’s practically a deity!

Still, Jason didn’t know who was backing Delphine, nor did he dare ask too much, aware of the unspoken rules and taboos. He silently gritted his teeth while waiting for "Twin Flowers" to release the bombshell. Once the official account confirmed Delphine would play the lead female role, Time, Jason promptly made the announcement.

Weibo exploded again.

"Holy crap, my Delphine’s finally landed another drama!"

"Does anyone know the plot of ’Twin Flowers’? What kind of role did Delphine take on?"

"Wife, wife, I love you! I love every drama you’re in!"

"Ahhhhh, my Delphine is too stunning!"

"Am I the only one paying attention to the fact that this is a Theodore Hughes movie?"

"Wasn’t Theodore Hughes involved in a domestic abuse scandal before? Will this affect her if she’s filming his drama?"

"The person above must be new to the internet—those domestic abuse rumors were completely fabricated."

"The entertainment industry is truly a mess."

Some doubts began popping up beneath the Weibo post, but calm and rational fans quickly overshadowed them.

The domestic abuse scandal surrounding Theodore Hughes from years ago still lingered. On one hand, the fans were worried their idol might be implicated; on the other hand, they were thrilled Delphine would star as the lead female. This was only her second drama, after all. Setting aside those personal controversies, Theodore Hughes always produced top-notch films.

"Twin Flowers" is Theodore Hughes’s comeback movie, and its tagline emphasized "Forging a masterpiece over ten years, staying true to the original intent, Twin Flowers in bloom."

Theodore Hughes’s reputation within the industry was intact over the years, and many friends in the field actively shared the buzz. The announcement of the lead actress immediately triggered a wave of promotional activity.

Some netizens dug up that the female lead had played Green Pearl, a supporting character in Tristan’s new movie "Azure Heights," as well as a role in the recent trending project, "Wandering Sister."

The few rare production stills and paparazzi snapshots of Delphine resurfaced, showcasing her mesmerizing beauty. Quickly, she captured the hearts of diehard fans of aesthetics. Coupled with the heavily guarded script for "Twin Flowers," the intrigue successfully sparked a surge in anticipation.

On the way back, Delphine skimmed through the script again, her expression reserved. She didn’t say a word.

Sister Zhao finished her phone call and glanced at her sitting in the window seat. Her features were exquisite and her expression understated, carrying an air of serenity uncharacteristic for a woman in her twenties. Yet her rare natural charisma differentiated her entirely from women involved in petty scandals.

Sister Zhao prided herself on being a tough and worldly businesswoman, yet she couldn’t quite decipher Delphine’s true identity. Lowering her voice slightly, she smiled and said, "Miss Delphine, the cast for this film is mostly finalized. Shooting starts in three days. However, there’s one issue—the investment for Theodore Hughes’s movie is quite large, and he’s still trying to secure funding. I’m worried the post-production budget might fall short."

Delphine looked up, furrowed her brows slightly, and asked, "What do you mean?"
