491 Chapter 491: Playing the Role of a Weak and Sickly Sister
[Is the important person Anna mentioned the best actor winner Elijah Flack? Elijah Flack just returned to China and sang a song in a luxury mall, saying it was for an important person as well. Could it be…]
[I heard that Anna bought eighteen bags at the luxury bag store ‘Nina.‘ Do you guys know how much one of those bags costs? Each one is worth millions of dollars, and she bought eighteen of them! What a show–off!]
[Damn! Anna is so rich and extravagant, spending over 20 million dollars?]
[What’s so strange about that? Anna Campbell is Miss Campbell from the Campbell family in Lokio. She’s the most beloved daughter and can afford anything. 20 million dollars is nothing to her.]
[I’m so jealous. Miss Campbell is the heiress of the Campbell family, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, doted on by her parents and brother. Now she’s acquainted with Elijah Flack, and the song he sang was for his sister. Could it be that Anna is also Elijah’s sister?]
[Is Anna the legendary mascot? I’m impressed!]
Xaviera grumbled: “The song you sang was supposed to be for me. She posted on Twitter, and people misunderstood it as for her. Miss Campbell already has quite a high popularity, why does she need to use this method to gain attention?”
Elijah gently smiled: “Darling, I’ll just clarify it on Twitter.”
Xaviera waved her hand, there was nothing to explain. If they clarify now, people online might twist their words. It’s better to remain silent.
Besides, everyone already believed they had arranged to meet at the mall. If Elijah denied it now, Anna would bite back, accusing Elijah of being presumptuous.
A strange feeling emerged in Xaviera’s heart, she murmured: “I have a feeling that Miss Campbell… seems to have inexplicable hostility towards me.”
Caleb’s eyes darkened, and he suddenly looked at Elijah, both shaking their heads in agreement, as if affirming something.
Elijah laughed: “Our sweet Xaviera is so good–looking, Anna must be jealous. Don’t worry about it. Why bother getting upset over a stranger?”
“Xaviera, during my return to China, a director invited me to act in a film. I think the plot is good and would like you to join me and play a role.”
In the Flack family’s residence in the Imperial Capital.
Mrs. Flack frowned, “I feel so bad for Xaviera. Why did this happen to her? I haven’t even told my parents yet! They will worry if they find out.”
Mr. Flack comforted: “Don’t worry. Xaviera is an adult now. She has the ability to face things on her own. Besides, finding her birth parents is a good thing.”

“But…” Mrs. Flack looked worried, “I suggested before… that when Xaviera went missing, we should find a similar–aged girl to replace her. How could I have said such a thing back then? Xaviera must be heartbroken now that she’s back!”
Mr. Flack sighed helplessly, “Didn’t I send Elijah to Libanan? He’ll protect Xaviera and won’t let her be bullied. Moreover, Xaviera will eventually have to recognize her ancestry and come back to the family. We cannot intervene in this matter.”
“But if they treat Xaviera poorly, our Flack family won’t stand idly by! We’ll just refuse to acknowledge
them!”
The next day.
Xaviera received the script for the movie.
Elijah’s film was an ancient costume drama, telling the story of how the male lead, a slave, gradually became a powerful court official. The film showcased the powerful official’s skillful political manipulations, ultimately helping the emperor establish a golden age.

Xaviera was speechless: “…”

493 Chapter 493: The Rules of the Entertainment Industry
“You! You’re wearing Anna’s dress, right? This role belongs to Anna, what right do you have to wear her dress?” 1
Yigol Mamet said indignantly, “Who said this role is Anna Campbell’s? The sister of Elijah Flack is Xaviera Evans’s role!”
The makeup artist was not to be outdone, yelling loudly, “This is outrageous! A newcomer daring to steal Anna’s role!”
Anna Campbell glanced up, her gaze full of provocation, “Miss Evans, what a coincidence.”
Xaviera Evans frowned.
Anna Campbell smiled slightly, “The thing before was just a misunderstanding, and I’ve already cleared it up. Why is Miss Evans making a fuss about it and affecting my filming? Just take off the clothes quickly.”
At the makeup artist’s shout, a crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance.
Anna Campbell’s expression was indifferent, sighing helplessly, “Miss Evans, there are rules in the entertainment industry. You, as a newcomer, may not understand it, but stealing the role of a senior is not right. Moreover, I have already signed a contract. What are you trying to do by taking my clothes?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately furious.
A newcomer, daring to steal Anna Campbell’s role? Desperate for fame!
Zoe Campbell immediately took out her phone and snapped a few photos, adding fuel to the fire, and posted the matter on Twitter. Instantly, Anna’s fans came out to defend their goddess.
Anna Campbell has tens of millions of fans, and now a newcomer is blatantly challenging and stealing her role. Her online fans were furious and started ranting against Xaviera Evans.
Yigol Mamet stood up for Xaviera Evans, “You’re talking about a newcomer, things should be sorted out first. Clearly, Xaviera Evans signed the contract first, it’s you who are stealing her role, yet you’re biting back?”
“Xaviera Evans! What are you doing standing there?” At that moment, the director rushed over in a
huff.
He was afraid of offending Miss Campbell, so he could only push all the responsibility on Xaviera
Evans.
“You’re just a newcomer, and you dare to steal a role? Hurry up and apologize to Anna! If Anna doesn’t hold it against you, then quickly take off the clothes and leave! I don’t want to see you again!”
Yigol Mamet was dumbfounded. This is the entertainment industry?
It was Anna Campbell who stole Xaviera Evans’s role, but everyone thought Xaviera Evans was wrong. They forced her to apologize to Anna Campbell. Is there no justice left?
After the director scolded Xaviera Evans, those who still had doubts were convinced that Xaviera

wanted to steal Anna Campbell’s role.
Anna Campbell maintained her composure, “Forget it, there’s no need to apologize. You may not understand the rules of the entertainment industry. I’ll forgive you this time, but I hope you don’t do it again. Change your clothes and leave the crew as soon as possible. Don’t delay the filming progress; everyone is waiting.”
Xaviera Evans felt anger surging from her heart.
don’t
The director saw her not moving and immediately pointed at her and shouted, “Xaviera Evans! If you want a future in this industry, don’t do irrational things. Anna is an A–class actress and also Miss Campbell of the Campbell family. She’s generous enough not to hold it against you. I hope you overestimate yourself. If you offend her, the consequences are something you can’t afford!”
Xaviera Evans secretly reached into her bag and pressed the recording button, “Director, I signed a contract two days ago. If you want to go back on your word, then pay me the penalty.”
The director spoke in a loud and hearty voice, “It’s just a penalty, we’ll pay you. A newcomer like you won’t need much money. This amount of money is nothing to Miss Campbell. I advise you to leave quickly; if you offend Anna, you’ll get what’s coming to you!”
After saying that, the director turned and smiled at Anna Campbell, “Let me introduce formally, this is the actress playing Elijah Flack’s sister – the popular star, Anna Campbell!”
“Anna has already passed the audition, and her acting is even more outstanding. We unanimously think that Anna is more suitable for this role. It’s getting late, Anna, hurry up and put on makeup; we’re starting filming soon.”
“Miss Evans, I don’t want this situation to become any more awkward. Leave on your own, or I’ll have
to kick
you out!”
At this time, Elijah Flack was still at the shooting site, and only Yigol Mamet was by Xaviera Evans’s side. He felt that he must take responsibility to protect Xaviera Evans, so he unwillingly said, “You guys are bullying…”
“You’re stealing a senior’s role and still not convinced?”
“That’s right! It’s only because Anna is so magnanimous that she doesn’t hold a grudge against you guys. If it were someone else, you wouldn’t have a future in the entertainment industry!”
494 Chapter 494: The Show is Bigger Than the Sky
Anna Campbell spoke calmly, “Miss Evans, I actually admire you very much. If it were another matter, I might yield to you. But the importance of a role is paramount. I’m afraid I can’t relent.” D
Yigol Mamet’s face turned red with anger, “Anna Campbell, you stole the role, you…
“Yigol, don’t be angry with them, let’s go.” Xaviera Evans tugged at his sleeve and comforted him in a low voice. Then she looked up, “Miss Campbell.”
“What can I do for you, Miss Evans?”
Xaviera Evans blinked, “I just want to remind you that not everything can be achieved by relying on the Campbell family. You’d better take care of yourself!”
A hint of malice flashed in Anna Campbell’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She turned to Zoe Campbell and asked softly, “Is the audition video of Xaviera Evans has been deleted for sure?”
Zoe Campbell whispered into her ear, “The director received 10 million dollars from us and has deleted it long ago. The surveillance footage has also been deleted, so no negative news will leak out. Anna, you are Miss Campbell, she’s not your opponent, just focus on playing this role!”
Anna Campbell smiled confidently.
That’s right, she was Miss Campbell, doted on by her parents and brother since childhood, the jewel in the Campbell family’s crown, and with such a powerful background, no one in the entertainment industry dared to offend her.
As for Xaviera Evans… she is just an orphan now. Who can help her?
The two left the makeup room, and Yigol was still upset, “Xaviera! She bullied you so much, are we just going to let it go? Just two days ago, you signed the contract, and you have memorized all the lines. Why should she play the role?”
“And that st* pid woman even claimed on Twitter that you stole her role, and as a senior, she offered you some advice, but you just threw things and left in a huff!”
Xaviera Evans opened up Twitter, sure enough, within just a few minutes, the news about the role stealing had spread across the internet.
Anna Campbell had many fans, and the reposting surged at an astounding rate. Of course, the Campbell family had a hand in promoting this as well.
Xaviera Evans wasn’t infuriated, instead, she smiled slightly.
“How could I just let it go? Am I the kind of person who swallows my pride?”
Yigol’s eyes lit up, “What are you going to do?”
Xaviera Evans grinned cunningly, “Although some things have been deleted, it does not mean they have vanished. As long as they have existed, I have the ability to recover them.”
Yigol didn’t understand her meaning.

Xaviera Evans took him to the restroom, pulled out her tablet which she always carried with her, logged into her Black Tide account, quickly worked her fingers on the keyboard, and she obtained the surveillance footage of the filming site.
She then found the surveillance in the restroom, identified a route that would avoid the cameras, put the tablet in her bag, and dragged Yigol away.
“Huh? Where are we going?”
“Of course… it’s time for a counterattack!”
…
At this moment, after Elijah Flack finished shooting the first scene, his assistant immediately approached him and informed him of the incident in the makeup room.
Elijah Flack’s face darkened, and he strode away from the shooting site, quickly making his way to the director’s resting room.
Many staff members were confused by his demeanor as they passed by. Everyone knew that Elijah Flack might seem cold, but he never lost his temper; who could have provoked him?
Inside the director’s office, Anna Campbell had already finished her makeup and changed into her costume. The director was explaining the role to her, “This character is really great and should attract a large number of fans if played well. Our movie requires original voices, but I’ve found a dubbing actor with a similar voice to yours, Miss Campbell. Don’t worry, we’ll promote the film with original
voices for the whole cast.”
Anna Campbell nodded, “Director Parkin, thank you. As long as you handle this matter for me, our Campbell family will certainly…”
Before she could finish, a loud bang interrupted her.
Elijah Flack kicked the door open, and a bank card slammed violently onto the table. The director looked puzzled and asked nervously, “Mr… Mr. Flack, what is this about…”
Elijah Flack’s eyes were icy cold, he didn’t even glance at Anna Campbell, and his thin l*ps opened slightly, “Penalty for breach of contract.”
The director was stunned for a few seconds, then chuckled, “It’s all right, we will pay Xaviera Evans the penalty for breach of contract. We don’t need you to spend money on this…”
“I quit.”
Elijah Flack exuded a chilling aura, his expression ice–cold, giving the director no room to maneuver, “When I agreed to play this role, I had one condition: the younger sister role must be decided by me. Now that you have violated the contract, I’m quitting this movie!”
11:00
495 Chapter 495: Hide Your Fox Tail Well
The director and the producer instantly changed color. (1
After Flack finished speaking, he turned and left, prompting the director to chase after him, “Mr. Flack, don’t be angry yet, the contract does state that the role does need your approval, but… Miss Campbell isn’t an outsider! You know her, right? And she is the Miss Campbell, she’s willing to take on this role and even brought investment to the team, this can only boost the box office for this movie. It’s all good for us.”
“And you’ve already filmed half of it, if you back out of the movie now, it’ll be a total waste. We can’t find another actor this late, and the losses…”
Flack’s lawyer stepped forward, his reply cold as ice: “Any losses have nothing to do with Mr. Flack. Director Parkin, the contract clearly states that this role is determined by Mr. Flack. Since you’ve breached the contract, Mr. Flack doesn’t have to abide by it. Moreover, Mr. Flack has compensated you for the breach of contract, he has been benevolent to you.”
“Director Parkin, no matter where you go, it’s you and your crew who have breached the contract. If you think Miss Campbell is more suitable, then you can take the money she gave you and find another male actor.”
“You… Flack!” Director Parkin was so angry his face turned red.
Anna Campbell stepped forward, assertively saying: “Mr. Flack, half of this movie has already been filmed, bearing the effort of everyone in the crew. It’s not worth it for you to pull out over a newcomer, and moreover, I genuinely love this character, I hope…”
“Ha! Do you feel entitled to speak?” Flack sneered disdainfully, “Miss Campbell, pretending can never become reality. If you’re smart, tuck away your fox tail. Don’t do anything you shouldn’t, or else you will pay a hefty price sooner or later!”
“You keep going on this arrogant path, I’m curious how long you can maintain this facade of a wealthy family’s daughter. Take care!”
Anna quickly inhaled, her face instantly turned pale.
Elijah Flack…he actually knew about that thing.
So what? She and her dad, mom and brother had been living together for so many years, they
wouldn’t abandon her.
Even if the true wealthy family’s daughter came back, they would still pamper her like before. She’s just a stranger, nothing to be afraid of, and surely couldn’t be as exceptional as herself.
But… she must make herself even more exceptional before that, to let everyone in the Campbell family recognize her value.
Flack walked to the filming site, hesitating for a moment.
The lawyer asked: “Sir, is there anything else you need?”
Flack shook his head: “Nothing, just thinking that the script isn’t bad.”

495 Chapter 495: Hide Your Fox Tail Well
The lawyer thought Mr. Flack was still attached to it and was about to comfort him when he heard-
“It’s alright, this crew is about to disband, at that time I can buy the script and find a more professional crew to film it”
The lawyer’s eyes widened in shock. Was Mr. Flack planning to take over the crew?
Elijah Flack sneered coldly. Anyone who dared to bully Xaviera would pay the price. If they don’t let Xaviera play this role, then no one else can!
At this moment, Xaviera Evans and Yigol Mamet, avoiding surveillance, carefully made their way to the director’s office when everyone else was filming.
The office was spacious, right next to the audition area. She had previously auditioned a part for Evans’s sister here, and everyone was so satisfied they signed a contract with her right away. Unexpectedly, Anna Campbell came in and upset all their plans.
Evans stood at the door, took out her tablet, and with nimble fingers, forcefully shut off all the surveillance in the office.
She walked into the office with Yigol, switched on the director’s computer, and found the folder with the audition videos.
Just as expected, the folder contained everyone else’s videos, except hers.
Evans smiled. This Anna Campbell was quite clever, removing all the audition videos right away, but…
Soon after, Yigol’s eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening in front of him.
Evans’s slender fingers were deftly dancing on the keyboard. In half a minute, the computer screen flickered, and all the deleted videos were instantly restored.
She copied a set of videos and eliminated all unnecessary information. She switched off the computer and left the office, then restored all the surveillance equipment.
496 Chapter 496: My Sister–in–law is So Cool!
The surveillance in the restroom was only turned off for a minute, so even if someone noticed, it wouldn’t seem strange.
Yigol Mamet stared with wide eyes at Xaviera Evans‘ swift actions.
My sister–in–law is so cool!
He excitedly exclaimed, “Xaviera, I officially declare you as my idol from now on! I want to learn from you!”
Caleb Mamet was already waiting outside the shooting base, and after Xaviera and Elijah Flack said goodbye, they got directly into the car.
Elijah Flack’s assistant whispered, “Miss Xaviera doesn’t seem to care.”
Elijah Flack smiled slightly, “She wouldn’t care about an outsider, let alone the fact that this role is optional to play or not to play!”
But he cared.
Xaviera always liked to pretend to be weak, and this movie portrayed a fragile sick sister, perfect for showcasing her acting skills. But who would have thought that Anna Campbell would mess it up.
He didn’t care what relationship Xaviera had with the Campbell family. Since Anna bullied Xaviera, she would have to pay a painful price!
Soon after, Anna Campbell received a call from her brother, Adrian Campbell.
“Anna, I saw the news online, that woman’s name is… Xaviera Evans, right? She dares to snatch
role?”
your
Anna Campbell spoke softly and weakly, choking back tears, “Brother, I’m fine. Some minor celebrities want to get famous, so they deliberately snatch my role. They don’t necessarily want to act, but they just want to get famous off me.”
Adrian panicked, “Why are you crying?”
“Anna, that woman actually dared to bully you! You’ve been wronged, my brother will help you take ‘revenge, and she’ll definitely pay the price! She should know the consequences of angering you!”
Anna whimpered weakly, as if her voice was soft to her bones, “Brother, don’t… don’t be impulsive, she’s just confused for the moment. Anyway, she didn’t take the role, but the male lead gave up his role for her. I got the role but can’t continue filming!”
“This is outrageous! Since she can’t play it herself, she’s causing you not to be able to play either!” Adrian angrily said, “Anna, don’t worry, your brother won’t let you be bullied!”
Anna Campbell smiled slightly.
Xaviera, your own brother is trying to deal with you!
When the time comes, the Campbell family will despise you, reject you, and even if you return to the

family, they will not accept you.
Why don’t you just die! Why did you have to come back!
***
As Steve Price drove, his eyes glanced at the rearview mirror, and he furrowed his eyebrows, “President, it seems like someone is following us.”
Caleb Mamet appeared indifferent, his eyes downcast, “Steve Price, your observation skills have declined, you only just realized? Do you want me to send you for training?”
Steve Price: “.”
So even noticing that someone is tailing us is wrong? The president is really troublesome.
Steve Price, trembling, asked, “Pr-, President, what do we do now?”
With Caleb Mamet’s slender fingers playing with a dagger, he hid it in his sleeve, his b*dy lazily leaning back, and his thin l*ps slightly opened: “Lose them.”
“No problem!” Steve Price stepped on the accelerator, instantly speeding up and pulling away from the other car.
At the intersection, Caleb Mamet spoke again: “Turn left.”
Steve Price made an immediate sharp turn, and the following vehicle couldn’t react in time, continuing straight ahead through the intersection.
Boom!
It was a blind alley in front, and the tailing car accidentally hit it, immediately sending up thick smoke.
Caleb Mamet pushed the car door open, and the people in the other car knew they had been discovered, so they got out with weapons as well.\
“Are they after me?” Xaviera asked in surprise,
She also got out of the car, kicking away a man who was attacking her, and coldly laughed, “The Campbell family sure moves fast!”
There were four people in the car, and in no time, all of them were lying on the ground, wailing. Xaviera turned around and asked, “There should be surveillance on this road, right?”
“Yes.”
Xaviera sneered coldly, “I didn’t want to bother with the Campbell family initially, but since they insist on provoking me, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
That night, the news about a newcomer snatching roles took over the trending searches. Anna Campbell’s fans started blasting each other, and Xaviera Evans‘ account also got dug up.
As for the identity of Yvonne, she wasn’t actually known as Xaviera on the internet. After all, only a blurry photo was leaked initially, so the face couldn’t be clearly seen. People just thought that Xaviera looked familiar, but they would never think that Xaviera was actually Yvonne.
