Chapter 19: Beautiful

"Evelyn, you were probably hoping I wouldn't show, weren't you?"

"Oh dear, I went through the trouble of preparing clothes for you, how can I not want you to show up. I'm just worried you might think you're too good for the clothes I've provided. Hallie, it's crucial to realize your own limits. At this point, you have no other option but to wear these clothes I've prepared for you, hmph."

Alright then, I'll definitely be attending and I'll show you what you're in for.

Hallie clenches her fists tightly, fuming.

On the other hand, Evelyn Olsen, after hanging up the phone, sneers to herself, thinking, trying to compete against me, she's still too inexperienced.

This time, it was not just to please Linda Collins, but also to knock Hallie Morgan down a peg or two.

The booting ceremony started soon after. Cameron Cromwell scanned the crowd but failed to find Hallie Morgan, who was to play Ada Vanderhoof.

"Why hasn't Hallie arrived yet?"

He asked, knitting his eyebrows.

From behind him, Linda scornfully remarked, "I really detest such unprofessional artists who don't respect time."

She sneaked a glance at Evelyn who thought to herself, showing up reluctantly in such an ugly outfit. Evelyn replied with a laugh, "She'll be here any moment; I just urged her again."

Luckily the lead actors were being interviewed first. The supporting actors like Hallie were scheduled later, but at that moment there was a sudden stir as Hallie's voice rose from the back.

"I apologize for my tardiness, the traffic was quite heavy."

Immediately, journalists began to gasp and turned to look.

"Who is that artist, the newcomer?"

"How beautiful, could she be the new Cromwell's Darling?"

"I've never seen her before, why are we just standing here, quick take photos!"

Cameron Cromwell looked up and stopped in his tracks, his eyes displaying unconcealed surprise, dwelling on her for several seconds.

Both Evelyn and Linda, were very taken aback, rendered speechless.

Hallie was wearing a red dress, shimmering from the countless diamonds sewn into every corner. These diamonds beautifully outlined her perfect figure, leaving little to imagination and instantly firing up one's bloodstream.

Undeniably, Hallie looked stunning in red. Her pale skin, under the vibrant red dress, reflected light as if glowing. Even amidst all the beautiful women on the Film Set, she stole the limelight.

Her natural makeup gave her a calm demeanor. She stood there as if she was a figure straight out of an old photograph, radiating an aristocratic elegance that was impossible to dislike.

Linda's face turned green while Evelyn was instantly left speechless.

Where did Hallie get such an outfit, and it looked quite expensive at that?

Watching Evelyn, Hallie walked straight towards her.

"Director Cromwell, Evelyn, I'm sorry for being late," she said.

Cameron Cromwell smiled at her, his satisfaction with the chosen actor was evident.

The recall of her audition made him realize how talented this girl was—an ideal fit for becoming a star.

Her distinct face was bound to attract attention in the Entertainment Industry. He wondered how such a talent had remained undiscovered until now.

Evelyn's face twisted into an expression of disgust.

Seeing her expression, Hallie felt the resentment within her which had been suppressed for days finally dissipate. This revenge tasted sweet!

Looking at Cromwell as he busied himself with another task, Hallie turned to Evelyn and said, "I'm sorry, Evelyn, you said that nobody would lend me clothes, you said I was full of myself. You said I needed to recognize my place. Well, I got a little upset and decided to try my luck. As it turns out, I was indeed able to borrow clothes. What do you think? Isn't this outfit much prettier than the clothes you got for me?"

"You..."
