Chapter 530 Wished Him Well

Mason was satisfied with both the actors' appearances and performances, scribbling some notes on a pad.

The stage manager announced, "Thanks for all your hard work. That's a wrap on today's auditions."

Mason called out, "Chad, hold on a second. Come over here."

Violeta glanced at Chad. He gave her a questioning look before heading toward Mason. "Mr. Mason, what can I do for you?"

Violeta gave a small smile and then turned to leave.

Aster said, "It's quite something. Do you know who Chad is? He's actually Wade Howell's grandson."

Violeta's eyes widened a little.

Aster continued, "He's been with the company for five years and never mentioned this. He's really quite discreet."
