Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman ) novel Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494 I Knew She Had It in Her

“What? You dare to do it but can’t stand other people criticizing you for it?” Lisa raised her chin condescendingly. “I’ve been in this industry long enough to know there are only ever a few tricks simple stunt doubles like you can use to climb to stardom.”

“Yeah? Well, Jessie won’t stoop to that level! She’s far too pure for that!” Lexie retorted. “Care to share how you get to where you are now, then?”

“You and I are barely acquainted, let alone friends. So why should I tell you?” Jessie monotoned, taking Lisa aback. “As if you’re worthy enough to be my friend, Silverstein.”

“Huh, it’s Jessie who doesn’t want to befriend you. To think a person can be so shameless!” Lexie fired back again, causing Lisa to turn grimly and glare at her. “Don’t get cocky, Silverstein. The higher you go, the harder you fall.”

With that, she left smugly.

When Jessie stared at Lisa’s retreating figure, she didn’t sense the animosity from the latter but instead reflected on her incompetence. The reason Lisa dared to mock her right now as she stood here was that she wasn’t good enough yet. In this industry, only after one had enough creditable work and fans and was hardworking and aspirant enough could one ignore other people’s derision.

“You alright, Jessie? Don’t let her get to you.” Lexie comforted her.

“I’m good. She can’t get to me; she will only motivate me.” At that, she hooked her arm around Lexie’s. “C’mon, let’s go! Help me with the script after breakfast. I want to memorize it as quickly as possible.”

“Alright. When you become successful, just stand in front of her. I guarantee you’ll be able to piss her off without a word.” Lexie declared.

The noblest way to slap someone in the face was to surpass them.

The thing about Vincent’s directing was that he preferred to keep things simple with no added effects and whatnot. Thus, his movies always had a sense of reality, as if the audience was there with the characters.

Julian was in the hotel when he received Vincent’s video recording of Jessie’s acting. The young woman in the recording was dressed in a fantasy costume, and her two dangling headpieces made her look like an adorable, otherworldly, naive girl who was full of hope for life.

Jessie had captured the character perfectly.

“I knew she had it in her,” praised Julian as he chuckled.

The filming continued until the evening. As they wanted to release it by mid-year, the shoot was pretty rushed. Although Jessie felt a little overwhelmed by the quick pace, she had already thrown herself into the character.
