Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth let out a light laugh. “That’s enough. I don’t act, and I won’t join the entertainment circle either.”

After politely refusing the director, she looked at Emma and blinked. “So, Miss Walker, do you understand what I’ve just said?”

All at once, Emma felt like a replacement. Why could she only get what Elspeth didn’t want? At that thought, she was even more infuriated and instantly took her costume off, wailing that she would leave the filming site.

“My goodness, please don’t leave. I was out of my mind earlier, but you’re the female lead, how could I give that to someone else?”

The director was a guileful man. Knowing that he was unable to convince Elspeth, he hurriedly rushed over to hold Emma back.

Callum had invested three hundred million in this drama and was their largest benefactor; he was so focused on inviting Elspeth that he nearly forgot about this fact.

“Didn’t you like Elspeth more? Go to her, then. I won’t take part anymore. We’ll withdraw the funds!”

Boiling with anger, Emma took out her phone, her voice full of sobs as she said, “Callum, someone is picking on me onsite. Can you come over?”

With that, she hung up, looking all smug and prideful.

“Just wait and see. Callum will be coming over in a while, and you can be arrogant all you want when he immediately withdraws his funds then!”

Elspeth waited quietly without saying a word. Knowing Callum was about to come here, she felt mixed emotions emerging in her heart. Her chest grew tight and heavy.

As expected, Callum soon reached the scene. His eyes swept through the crowd, and to his surprise, he spotted Elspeth and Yelena amongst them.

Upon seeing him, Emma immediately rushed forward with a coy expression. “Callum, they were all picking on me earlier, and Elspeth was even trying to take my place as the female lead. And the key thing is, the director even agreed! Let’s withdraw our funds. I don’t want to do this anymore!”

“Elspeth wants to be the female lead?” Callum repeated, thinking that her words were outlandish.
