The room was abuzz with questions, but Director Young remained composed. “Everyone, please calm down,” he said firmly. “The actress chosen for this role will not be replaced. Once the movie is out, you’ll all understand why we picked her.” 

A curious reporter broke the silence. “Director Young, is it true that she’s exceptionally beautiful?” 

“Yes,” he replied confidently. “She’s stunning–beyond comparison. And I’m not exaggerating. When she arrives, you’ll see for yourselves.” 

The reporter pressed further, his tone edging on provocation. “So, are you saying she used her beauty to secure the role?” 

Director Young’s expression tightened, though he maintained his composure. “She’s a newcomer, but she’s incredibly talented. I’d appreciate it if people refrained from making baseless accusations.” 

Frustration flickered across his face as his sharp gaze settled on the persistent reporter. It was clear to him that the questions weren’t innocent; someone was orchestrating this chaos. The sudden controversy, the missing audition tapes–everything pointed to an intentional scheme, with Lily as the target. 

But where was she? As the grilling continued, Director Young grew restless. His patience was wearing thin. 

“Director Young, where is this actress you’ve been praising?” the same reporter asked aggressively. “Why hasn’t she shown up yet? Is she avoiding the spotlight because of her scandal?” 

Director Young was on the verge of losing his temper when a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. His eyes shifted to the red carpet, and for a brief moment, he froze. Then, a small smile curved his lips. “She’s here,” he announced. 

All eyes turned to see who he was referring to, and the room fell into stunned silence. Lily had arrived, and she was breathtaking. 

Draped in a black lace gown, her dress was a masterpiece that accentuated her every feature. The fitted silhouette highlighted her slender waist, while the neckline beautifully framed her delicate collarbones. The long slit in her dress revealed just a hint of her flawless legs, and the subtly cut sleeves teased glimpses of her fair skin. 

Although the gown was elegant and modest, Lily exuded an undeniable allure. Her beauty was so captivating that the crowd was momentarily dazed. Cameras flashed furiously as she walked the red carpet, her every move radiating confidence and grace. 

For Lily, this was a first. In her previous life, she had worked in her sister’s shadow, never gracing a red carpet herself. Nervous though she was, she masked it with a radiant smile that mesmerized everyone watching. Her poise and elegance made it seem as though she had been doing this for years. 

The reporters, who had been relentless with their questioning moments ago, now stood in stunned silence before snapping back to reality. The air filled with the clicks of cameras and murmurs of awe. 

“Is this the actress chosen for the role?” someone whispered. “She’s even more stunning than Director Young described. He wasn’t exaggerating at all!” 

Lily paused midway down the red carpet to pose for photos, her elegance leaving the crowd spellbound. She then moved to the backdrop to sign her name, each gesture so graceful it seemed choreographed. Every glance, every smile, only deepened the admiration of those watching.

Chapter 45 

Finished 

But just as the audience was recovering from her dazzling entrance, their astonishment doubled. Walking in behind Lily was none other than Mia, 

Why was Mia standing behind her? The sight stunned everyone, leaving them to speculate wildly. Could it be that Lily was one of Mia’s artists? The thought alone was enough to make their minds race. 

The reporters, who had been eager to confront Lily with invasive questions like, “Did you sleep with someone influential to land this role?” or “Did you seduce a higher–up?” suddenly hesitated. If she was indeed represented by Mia, one of the most respected figures in the entertainment industry and a key player at Marvellous Universe, would such accusations even make sense? With Mia’s backing, Lily wouldn’t need to resort to underhanded tactics to secure a role. 

Amidst the commotion, no one noticed the storm brewing in Rose’s expression. Her face had gone pale, her carefully composed demeanor slipping as she glared daggers at Lily, Fury bubbled within her as questions roared in her mind. This woman again? How could this happen? How did she manage to snag the role of the antagonist in this film? And how dare she flaunt herself so openly!
