Chapter 22 “What? They’re really thinking about Elizabeth for the lead?” Elva exclaimed, her voice full of disbelief.

Sandra, caught off guard, stumbled for a moment.

Elva, furrowing her brows, continued, “Do you think she’s doing this on purpose? Given her rocky relationship with Mr.

James and their upcoming divorce, could she be trying to take the role from you out of spite?”

“Maybe not,” Sandra murmured, biting her lip, torn between doubt and acceptance.

“But if their breakup is really related to me, then she’s justified in being angry with me.

In the end, it all comes back to me.

If she wants the role that badly, it’s hers for the taking.

It’s a shame, though.

The story really spoke to me.”

Despite her attempt to appear gracious, a trace of regret crossed Sandra’s face.

Elva reached out, offering a comforting hand on her shoulder, and said, “Oh, Sandra, you’re too kind! Remember, it was Elizabeth who stepped in between you and Mr.

James, not the other way around.

She’s the one who owes you an apology! And don’t forget, you’ve given so much for this role, even compromising your health.

I’m the only one who truly understands how hard you’ve worked.

You deserve this part—why should you give it up for her?”
