Abner was Gary’s most favored heir. As for Eric and Charlotte, Gary didn’t want the two of them to become embroiled in the battle for the family assets. He intended to compensate them in other ways in the future.
When Eric heard Gary mention his recent drama, he showed genuine interest. “I think it’s excellent.”
Eric possessed great talent for directing, but because of his work and penchant for leisure, he often stayed away from home. Recently, he had been spending more time at home, and Gary was becoming less dissatisfied with him.
“By the way, isn’t Audrey in the entertainment industry? As a director, you should offer her guidance when the opportunity arises,” Gary suggested.
Audrey? Eric looked at Audrey with deep suspicion. It was only when he recollected the role she had taken on a few days ago that he remembered he had forgotten to inquire about her performance from Dean. [What’s with that expression on my second brother’s face?]
Audrey maintained a composed expression.
Eric clicked his tongue and remarked, “Audrey is doing quite well now. Why would she need my guidance?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese words carried an undertone of meaning. Audrey’s lips curled into a smile. “Second Brother, what are you trying to say? I’m just getting started.” Eric, recalling the gold-plated notebook Audrey had given him earlier, had an idea.
“Let’s see how your performance in this drama turns out. If you impress me, I might consider casting you as the female lead in my upcoming project.”
[Huh? Female lead? Doesn’t my Second Brother specialize in directing zombie films lately? Am I going to play the role of a female zombie?]
“Pfft—” Charlotte couldn’t help but spit out the water she was drinking halfway.
Everyone at the table looked at her in shock.
Gary had not anticipated his typically composed daughter to act so out of character tonight.
Eric, of course. saw the text above Audrev’s head.
I’m directing an art film! An art film, not a zombie movie! Eric silently lamented. Soon, he appeared dejected. Did he look like a director who had lost his film that badly?
Charlotte recognized that she had lost her composure earlier, but it was just… a bit amusing.
She offered an apologetic smile and then, restraining her laughter, she rose from the table. “I’m finished eating. Take your time.”
With those words, she left without looking back. But on closer inspection, you’d notice her back was trembling—Charlotte was still suppressing her laughter.
As she ascended the stairs, Charlotte suddenly felt that it wasn’t such a bad idea to come home occasionally. At least it wasn’t as dull as before.
Audrey remained unaware that Charlotte and the others had already discerned her innermost thoughts.
Abner, on the other hand, remained the most composed.
Abner’s curiosity about his stepsister was growing.
Even though he couldn’t discern what was occurring above Audrey’s head, he found it rather entertaining to occasionally glimpse some peculiar comments in her thoughts.
Lying in bed at night, Audrey carefully studied the script once more. The more she delved into it, the more convinced she became that she had made the right choice by taking on the role of Martha. However, thoughts of Elena nagged at her…
Audrey couldn’t help but find it strange. Why had Elena suddenly singled her out? Was it solely because of the original book’s plot that had destined them to become archenemies?
Even if she were to become complete enemies with Elena in the future, Audrey still held onto hope that she could alter the plot. She could ignore the others, but Audrey needed to evade the fate of being sent to Africa by Abner.
She was already working diligently to improve her relationship with Abner and the others. If avoiding Elena proved impossible, Audrey was prepared to stand her ground.

Lost in thought, Audrey was suddenly interrupted by a message from Evans.
Audrey jolted and hastily sat up in bed.
Evans: “Today is Wednesday. Are you free this Sunday?”
Audrey: “I have some free time that afternoon!”
Evans’s lips subconsciously curled into a smile when he received Audrey’s swift response.
Evans: “3 pm at Naifei Coffee Shop.”
Audrey replied with a simple “okay” and turned her attention to the gift box resting on the table.
If she didn’t give it away soon, it would collect dust.
As for Evans, he found Audrey’s behavior rather peculiar. Since she had mentioned a discussion, she hadn’t elaborated on the topic. Perhaps she had developed a subtle interest in this intriguing individual. Consequently, Evans had taken the initiative to propose a weekend meeting.
In the past, Evans wouldn’t have met privately with the opposite sex.
Things were becoming increasingly fascinating.
After confirming a meeting time with Evans, Audrey’s worried heart finally eased. She then picked up the script and continued the work she had left
unfinished..
