CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: CAMPUS BELLE? YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A JOKE

"Ah..."

Cassia Everett’s slap hadn’t landed yet when her wrist was tightly grabbed.

Serena Everett applied a bit of force, and Cassia Everett let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"It hurts so much... Serena, let go of me..."

Serena’s eyes were cold, and she released Cassia’s wrist disdainfully, as if tossing away trash.

"Ouch..."

Cassia lost her balance, heavily falling to the ground, her heart filled with even more resentment, but hearing footsteps outside the door, she quickly changed her expression.

"Cassia, why are you sitting on the ground?"

Jocelyn Sterling and Ivan Everett saw this scene as soon as they entered the living room and immediately asked with concern.

Cassia first glanced timidly at Serena, then said in a grievance tone, "I just had a little argument with sister, and she pushed me down. But it’s okay, I don’t blame her..."

"Serena could never push someone, Cassia, maybe you just weren’t standing steadily?"

"Yes, yes, Serena isn’t that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding!"

Seeing Jocelyn and Ivan defending Serena without a second thought, Cassia’s face instantly turned gloomy.

They are really biased, defending that bitch Serena like this!!!

"Aunt and Uncle, I was standing very steadily just now." Cassia continued showing a pitiful expression, "Maybe there’s something I did wrong that made sister not like me..."

"Oh, really?" Serena looked at her coldly, with a rather casual tone, "Then let’s check the surveillance footage."

At the mention of checking surveillance, Cassia’s complexion changed immediately, and she was quick to amend, "No need to check the footage, sister, I also think Aunt and Uncle are right, it must be a misunderstanding! Sister, you must have accidentally pushed me just now, I don’t blame you!"

Seeing her quick change of face, Jocelyn and Ivan couldn’t help but furrow their brows, a feeling of discomfort rising in their hearts.

Realizing Jocelyn and Ivan’s shift in attitude towards her, Cassia secretly glared hatefully at Serena while smiling sweetly to divert their attention.

"Aunt and Uncle, I have good news to share with you. I’ve been chosen by Director Farber, and he’s willing to shoot at Imperia University, so I won’t miss my classes!"

"That’s great news, Cassia. Do well, we believe you’ll do a great job acting!"

Hearing their encouragement, Cassia’s smile grew even deeper, and she gave Serena a provocative glance before turning back with a face of innocent kindness.

"Thank you, Aunt and Uncle, I will work hard for the role! Oh, I recently learned some massage techniques, let me give you a massage to relieve some fatigue!"

Unable to refuse, Jocelyn and Ivan let her massage them, while Cassia continued with her act of sweetness and obedience.

...

The film crew was shooting at Imperia University, surrounded by onlookers.

Cassia had arrived early, waiting for Director Farber; she was dressed extravagantly, like a peacock.

"Cassia, I’m really envious of you, being chosen by Director Farber, and he even agreed to shoot at Imperia University for you, such treatment is not even given to big-name actors!"

Cassia had even gotten two fake teeth overnight just to present her best image to Director Farber.

Listening to Yara Shawnessy’s flattering words, Cassia smiled modestly, appearing humble, but her words hinted at boasting, "Director Farber indeed treats me very well; he even said I fit the role perfectly, insisting that only I could play it and no one else..."

Sure enough, her words sparked everyone’s envious exclamations.

"Wow! Cassia, since Director Farber values you so much, it seems you’ll never lack roles once you’re in the entertainment industry!"

"Indeed, plus Cassia is Everett Family’s daughter, her family background is established, and with Director Farber to back her up, she’s bound to have a bright future!"

"It’s truly enviable..."

Cassia enjoyed the feeling of being admired, her heart couldn’t be more pleased, and upon spotting Serena in the distance, her eyes flashed with malice.

"Little one, did you receive the items?"

Serena, holding a bag full of delicately packaged snacks, replied lazily with a one-word answer, but the opposite side quickly replied.

"If you take from brother, you must not take from others."

Even through the screen, Serena imagined the man’s alluring and charming expression, she blinked slightly and just as she was about to reply, a boasting voice rang out.

"Sister, are you here to congratulate me too?"

Hearing this insincere voice, Serena’s delicate brows and eyes turned cold, "Move aside."

Recognizing that the snacks Serena was holding came from The Imperial Court, jealousy instantly showed in Cassia’s eyes.

Snacks from The Imperial Court can’t be bought just with money; they require a reservation, it must be Niall Everett buying them for her again!

"Sister, I know you grew up in the countryside and haven’t tasted these before. If you like them, just let me know, I’ll buy them for you, Fifth Brother trains very hard every day..."

Those following behind Cassia immediately nodded in agreement.

"Our major beauty is indeed kind and considerate, unlike Serena who is selfish!"

"Yes, yes, Fifth Young Master is already tired from training every day, and she still has him buy snacks, doesn’t she know how hard it is to get snacks from The Imperial Court? So selfish!"

"Just a country girl, she has that small-town vibe about her!"

Listening to these disparaging words about Serena, Cassia finally felt satisfaction, but just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shout.

"Director Farber is here!"

At the mention of Director Farber, Cassia eagerly turned around, walking quickly towards him, and greeted him with what she thought was her most beautiful smile.

"Director Farber!"

Unexpectedly, Director Farber, originally smiling, immediately furrowed his brow upon seeing her, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Has Imperia University’s beauty arrived yet?"

He had come early specifically to see the young girl from yesterday, but to his surprise, she wasn’t there and he was stopped by an unknown person. Director Farber, already impatient, felt even more annoyed.

Seeing Director Farber’s undisguised disdain, Cassia froze, "Director Farber, I am the beauty of Imperia University..."

"Beauty? You’re more like a joke!" Director Farber recognized her as the uncouth person who bumped into him yesterday and disliked her even more, saying mercilessly, "Imperia University’s threshold for beauty must be very low!"

Embarrassed by Director Farber’s scolding, Cassia quickly spoke up, "Director Farber, wasn’t it you who had your staff contact me, saying I was perfect for your movie’s role, and you urgently wanted me to play it?"
