Maria frowned, Where did Chris's confidence come from, thinking that she would still help Belinda of all people at this point in time?
"Maria,...."
Chris pulled Belinda to her and took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her.
"After all, you are also an actor in the future, and when you want to go in and out of formal occasions, you must also have a good outfit. Here is 10,000 dollars, you take it first, as long as you help Belinda take down this role today, I will give you more in the future."
Maria looked at Belinda, then shelooked at the card in Chris's hand and smiled.
"Do you think that as Xavier McCarthy's wife, I will lack this 10,000 dollars bill that you are offering me?
"You are indeed Xavier McCarthy's wife."
Belinda on the side sneered, and looked at Maria's eyes with contempt. She then looked at her from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet with a nauseated look.
"But is president McCarthy really willing to spend his money on you? Looking at everything on your body, which one of them is more than a 100 dollars bill? It's so shabby to death!"
Maria narrowed her eyes slightly. After marrying Xavier, she really never asked him for any money. Even the housekeeper as offered her the grocery ATM card several times to buy vegetables, but she also refused.
It's not actually that she didn't like a life of luxury or did she not want to enjoy the life of a rich wife, but she married Xavier, not for his money. Moreover if she start to lavish herself with his wealth, people will start to dig in who her husband is and her family's little secret will be exposed because of her.
Unexpectedly, this actually became a reason for Belinda to despise her. Maria tickled her lips and glanced indifferently at the clothes on Belinda's body.
"You're not shabby? This dress you are putting on, did Chris buy it for you?"
Coincidentally, the dress Belinda wore today, looks quite expensive, but..... This dress, Maria has seen it before. When she videoed Belinda and director Elton together on the beach at Silt City, she was putting on this dress.
Amelia when she saw it on Belinda in the video had particularly said that the last time Belinda was warring with her on the internet, Chris had lost almost all his wealth and savings, and now he's only living a life pretending to be good on cash. He's actually managing how to spend and gather his wealthy back.
Belinda frowned and snorted coldly. She was still with pride since she didn't know what Maria has seen.
"Of course Chris bought it for me!"
Maria lightly ticked her lips and smiled.
"Chris is indeed generous to you, this big brand in Europe and the United States, it seems that it has to be around 50,000 dollars right?"
Belinda raised her head high, very proudly.
"Of course. Do you think Chris will be as restrainingto me as he was to you?"
Maria still smiled unashamedly. She wasn't hurt by what she said at all. She already has a happier home and a husband who is good to her. She couldn't help but to think how she they spend two nights together in a role. It was amazing.
"I think I could remember vividly, this bag in your hand......" She pointed at it. "..... There's no flagship store in Washington, only in Silt City which is next door. And this bag was just launched out last month."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked into Belinda's eyes.
"So, have you been to Silt City recently?"
Belinda's face turned white! She did go to the Sea Paradise in Silt City with director Elton a few days ago, but when she went to Silt City, she told Chris that she was going to visit one of her sick relative.
Now being directly poked by Maria, her face was a little white. She didn't know why Maria would suddenly bring this up.
"I haven't been there!" Belinda rolled her eyes. "My friend in Silt City bought it for me."
"Do you have any friends in Silt City?"
Maria had been a girlfriend with Belinda for six years, and she knew where Belinda's relatives and friends lives and goes to. If she has a friend in friend city, she would have boasted with it for over a thousand times.
When she said this, Chris also frowned. He seems he too doesn't know about this friend.
"Yes Belinda, when did you have friends in Silt City?"
"I...... I just met her online. She's really good to me."
She rushed out, dodging Chris's gaze. Maria laughed at her and she glared at her. She then simply snatched the bank card in Chris's hand.
"If you don't want the money we give that's fine. But then, why do you care how do I buy a bag? Don't be so jealous because I'm living a good life than you do."
After saying that, she directly pulled Chris away and entered the building of Thunder Film and Television.
"Let's go."
Chris reluctantly stopped.
"But Bel..... The audition is in a while....."
He knew very well that with Belinda's own acting skills, there was no way to get the identity of the heroine in this movie they are auditioning for. But now Belinda was with pride. She didn't want Maria to trample on her.
"I can get it!"
Belinda was full of confidence.
"Don't beg her. It's because you are telling her to help me that's why she's insulting us. You wait and see... Without that b*tch's help, I can still get the identity of the heroine this time!"
Director Elton has already promised her, as long as she goes out with him once in a month in the future, his heroine in the future will be none but her, Belinda Saxon. Today's audition is just a cutscene, no matter how hard others try, the final winner is only her! This Belinda was so sure about.
Chris hesitantly looked back at Maria, but finally shook his head and followed Belinda in. He didn't know the reason Belinda was so confident but he didn't have faith in her at all.
Maria stood where she was, looking at Belinda's back, and the corner of her lips drew a sneer.
......
Nine o'clock in the morning.Auditions start on time.
Maria, Belinda and several actresses were arranged in a small reception room. The staff of Thunder Film and Television sent each of them a small script, based on the small script to figure out the characters for performance.
When sending out the small script, Maria pointedly found that one of the five character biographies in the staff's hands was folded. She guessed that the script with the folded corners should be for Belinda.
It seems that Belinda and this director Elton are not so stupid. In order to cope with this audition, they actually prepared in advance. She was sure they must have done analysis of the character for Belinda, so she can understand well.
"Sorry, I want to change the script."
When the staff gave Maria's script to her, she grabbed the script in her hand. The one that was folded.
"I think the script should be chosen by those of us who is to be audition. What do you think?" Maria asked.
Not that she really wanted to take the script, she just want to confirm what she saw. Even if director Elton wants to help Belinda crookedly, she also has Teacher Quinn who wouldn't let the injustice slide.
Belinda got scared that Maria wants to let other know about what they were about to do, she knew she had to do something. She then rolled her eyes.
"What do you think is the use? You also think you should be the heroine? Do you even know anything about acting and auditioning at all? "
After saying that, she looked at Maria sarcastically and smiled.
"What? Are you afraid that you can't act well and will start to mess yourself up? I thought you could actually take this role down with your huge confidence."
An actress laughed in agreement.
"That is, a person who has just transformed from a stunt actor to an actor still wants to play the role of a heroine, and her eyes are high and low."
Maria squinted and did not speak, but her fingers still dragged the script in the staff's hand and did not let go.
"Young lady, please don't mess around."
The staff glanced at Maria and vigorously pulled the rest of the script out of Maria's hands and continued to distribute it. When she left, Maria smiled lightly, changed into a comfortable position and leaned back in her chair, ready to watch the play.
After the staff and Belinda gave each other a look, he was ready to send the marked script to Belinda. But when he looked down, he found...... The remaining four scripts in her hand were actually torn.
The staff panicked but then Belinda did not know it. She was quite anxious to take the script and she had been urging him to give her a script.
"Hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to prepare."
Her script today, which she has practiced countless times in front of Director Elton last night, absolutely cannot go wrong.
The staff member was sweating profusely. He couldn't stand the urging of Belinda and the people behind him. Finally, he casually picked out a copy and sent it to Belinda.
"Well, this time I've got the heroine!"
Belinda murmured to herself and she triumphantly opened the script and was momentarily dumbfounded....... How is this different from the plan?
