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.

497 Chapter 497: You will always be Miss Campbell
Xaviera’s fans wouldn’t think too much about it, they just knew that someone had bullied Anna who was so kind and a daughter of the prestigious Campbell family. How dare that woman try to take her role? 1
The Campbell Villa.
Adrian Campbell sat on the sofa, waiting for news from the kidnappers, but no call came, and he lost contact with them eventually.
He suddenly had a bad feeling and decided to check it out himself. Could they have been discovered?
As Adrian was about to leave, Mrs. Campbell and Anna came in. Mrs. Campbell frowned and said, “You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and someone actually tried to take your role? Who is that woman?”
Anna gave a wry smile, “Mom, it’s fine, it’s all in the past. She’s just a newcomer, only been in the industry for a short time…but she managed to climb up and wanted to take my role. But the director has already given me the role, so she didn’t succeed.”
Mrs. Campbell snorted, “How dare a newcomer try to compete with you? She must have some powerful connections that emboldened her to act so recklessly! Disgusting!”
Anna quickly added, “That’s right, she only dared to compete with me for the role because of the backing of a powerful man.”
“How could she even compare to you? Acting is just your hobby, and if you don’t want to do it anymore, you can come back home and inherit the family fortune. You’ll always be my sweet heart.” Mrs. Campbell looked at her with loving eyes.
Anna’s face was filled with joy, but her eyes soon turned sad, “Mom, I know you and dad love me, but after all…I’m not your biological child. If my sister comes back, will you…”
She choked up, and tears streamed down her face, “No matter what happens in the future, you’ll always be my mother…”
Seeing Anna cry, Mrs. Campbell was heartbroken, “My sweet heart, don’t cry. Whether my biological daughter comes back or not, you’ll always be Miss Campbell, and you’ll always be my daughter. Don’t
worry.”
Thinking of her biological daughter, Mrs. Campbell frowned. At first, when her daughter went missing, she cried her eyes out. But as time went on and she had Anna, she gradually stopped thinking about her lost daughter. Now, she even thought it was better that her daughter didn’t return since she treated Anna as her own.
Moreover, Anna was polite, well–behaved, and beautiful, the aura of a well–bred lady. She was the perfect fit for the Miss Campbell title. What if her biological daughter returned, but was rude and ugly? That would disgrace the Campbell family’s reputation.
Mrs. Campbell became annoyed at the thought, “We haven’t found her yet, so why are you crying? And remember, you’ll always be Miss Campbell, and no one can replace you.”

“Yeah, Anna, I only have one sister like you. Our prestigious Campbell family isn’t a place for just anyone!” Adrian chimed in, “If our sister turns out to be a wastrel or disabled, how could she be worthy of the Campbell name? So, it’s better if she doesn’t come back…”
Anna breathed a sigh of relief as she heard her brother and mother’s words, then spoke softly, “Mom, brother, thank you, I won’t cry anymore. Later, there will be an interview at the house. If you guys aren’t busy, could you just show your faces for a bit? You don’t need to say anything, just a greeting
will do.”
“Of course! Since Anna asked so earnestly, how could we refuse? You are my sweet heart, and the most respected Miss Campbell. No one is better than you.”
Lowen Clubhouse.
As Xaviera turned on her phone, she saw a notification: [Anna Campbell addresses the issue of her role being stolen in an interview at 3 p.m. today!]
She glanced at the time and saw it was 3 p.m., so she entered the live broadcast.
At that moment, the host was standing in front of a mansion holding a microphone, “Hello everyone, I am standing in front of Anna Campbell’s home right now. Today, Anna will officially address the controversy over her stolen role in this live broadcast. Anna’s mother and brother will appear for the first time. Be sure not to miss our interview, and keep following us for updates.”
Xaviera’s eyes narrowed.
She began to wonder if she had a feud with Anna in her past life. The first time they met, the Campbells caused a scene in her shop. The second time, Anna took her role and turned the tables on her. The third time, they sent someone to kill her?

498 Chapter 498: Live Streaming of a Top Noble Lady
At this time, Anna Campbell had already appeared in the live stream room, wearing a light purple long dress that covered her legs, but outlined her slender waist and showed off her fair collarbone.
She looked casual in her outfit, but there was an inherent nobility to her. She exuded an elegant and pure temperament, and at a glance, it was clear that she was a top noble lady.
At this moment, the audience in the live stream room was going wild.
[Wow! Anna really comes from a wealthy family! The mansion is so luxurious!]
T
[Anna used to live in Lokio, but now she’s moved to Libanan temporarily. Their mansion in Lokio must be even bigger, I heard it’s like a castle.]
[A top noble lady indeed! Ordinary people can’t compare! I’m so envious!]
Anna elegantly stood up and smiled sweetly, “I’ll give you all a tour of our new mansion first. I just moved in recently, so it’s still quite fresh for me too.”
She cast a meaningful smile down at the floor, thinking that Xaviera Evans must hate her to death right now. Perhaps Xaviera was even watching the live stream.
She wanted Xaviera to know that even if they were related by blood, she had already secured the position of Miss Campbell and wouldn’t give it up easily.
Anna led the audience upstairs.
“This is my room. It has the best natural lighting in the house. There’s also an outdoor balcony where I plant my flowers and plants. If you walk to the right, there’s a walk–in closet.”
Anna laughed shyly, “Actually, this was originally my parents‘ room, but they insisted on letting me have it. They said they wanted me to be comfortable. Everyone in my family spoils me. There’s nothing I can do.”
The host flattered with a smile, “No wonder Anna is a wealthy family’s daughter!”
Xaviera couldn’t help but nod as well. The room was indeed very well decorated, and Anna had excellent taste, not just in luxury, but also in style.
Anna introduced her daily life, which made the live stream audience exclaim with envy. Then, the graceful Mrs. Campbell and the tall and handsome Adrian Campbell appeared and greeted the viewers, causing the live stream room to go into a frenzy.
Anna introduced them, smiling, “These are my mom and brother. My dad is still busy with work and hasn’t come home yet.”
The live stream comments were flooding in.
[Wow! No wonder Anna is so beautiful! Her mom and brother are both good–looking too!]
[I want this kind of life too! Another day envying Princess Anna!]
[Anna is Miss Campbell after all. A mere newcomer dares to compete with her for a role. She’s too arrogant! Doesn’t she fear that the Campbell family might retaliate?]

The barrage of comments suddenly decreased, leaving the host with an awkward expression. Then, he moved on to the main topic.
“Anna, you know that I actually came today to interview you about having your role snatched away. Can you tell us the specifics of what happened? The audience wants to know as well.”
Anna lowered her eyes and laughed helplessly, “Our Campbell family wouldn’t care about a newcomer. As for her snatching the role from me… That’s all in the past, and I don’t have much to say. I just hope there can be more cleanliness within the entertainment industry. Newcomers should focus on learning, and not try to take shortcuts, lest they harm themselves.”
Her tone changed, and she furrowed her brows, troubled, “I… I didn’t want to say this, but I have to warn everyone. Don’t… don’t… Girls should cherish themselves, and not be blinded by the pursuit of a little gain, and take the wrong path.”
[With Anna being such a pure princess, she must never have seen the dirt of the entertainment industry. Some people will go to any lengths just to snatch a role!]
[So Miss Evans used that kind of method to compete with Anna for the role? Disgusting!]
[Using her b*dy for a role exchange, and it’s just a small supporting role. It’s clear that this woman has no skills and can only rely on men to get ahead!]
The comments were filled with insults, and Anna’s fans were eager to defend her.
[What a cheap woman! Sleeping with someone for a role! She dares to compete with Anna for a role. She’s not even worthy to be Anna’s stand–in!]
Xaviera narrowed her eyes slightly.
Anna spoke softly, “There’s no need to react so strongly, everyone. It’s not wrong for her to want fame, but she shouldn’t use such despicable methods. Actually, I was very surprised at the time.”

At this moment, Xaviera Evans pulled out her computer and quickly typed a few lines on the keyboard.
Anna Campbell adjusted the angle and said to the camera, “I want to advise Miss Evans that to become an actress, you cannot simply rely on your looks. You also need real talent. If you want to succeed, you should study more, improve your acting skills, and not always think of taking shortcuts.”
Xaviera pressed the Enter key.
The entire live–stream room went dark instantly, the host and Anna Campbell didn’t notice and continued chatting.
Anna showed her magnanimity, “Although Miss Evans tried to snatch my role, I don’t blame her anymore. I hope this kind of thing won’t happen again. The entertainment industry needs real talent, not just connections!”
The fans in the live–stream room kept cursing Xaviera, just typing [Get lost, b*tch Evans-
Before they could even finish typing, the live–stream room collapsed, and then the fans found a security video on screen which they couldn’t force to close.
Inside the Lowen Clubhouse, Xaviera grinned meaningfully.
Showtime!
It was only at this moment that the audience found their electronic devices to be seemingly infected with a virus, unable to turn off or send bullet functions, and forced to watch this surveillance video.
The video showed the audition area, with the director and producer seated in their chairs, waiting for the next contestant to enter.
Suddenly, a person appeared in the surveillance footage, and everyone’s eyes widened when they realized it was Xaviera Evans, the protagonist of the role–snatching story.
How could she be in the audition area? Was she planning to cause trouble?
As everyone made their guesses, Xaviera walked to the center of the room and started a performance. She was actually auditioning, and the role she was auditioning for was the sister of best actor winner Elijah Flack’s character. Although it had only a few lines, Xaviera was able to completely express the character’s image and emotions. Even in front of best actor winner Elijah Flack, she did not pale, and it seemed as if she had breathed life into the role.
This was best actor winner Elijah Flack, the actor who was acknowledged domestically and internationally for his outstanding acting skills and good looks, the ceiling everyone in the domestic acting world looked up to. Even in a scene with him, she did not appear weak. On the contrary, Xaviera seemed to be the real protagonist, with Elijah just a supporting character, and all the attention was on her.
It was only then that everyone realized how extraordinary Xaviera’s acting was.
After the scene ended, the director and producer stood up and applauded enthusiastically. They even

took out the contract immediately, and both parties happily agreed to the role and told Xaviera to come for filming in two days,
The security video ended, and the live–stream room returned to normal.
At this point, Anna Campbell was showing everyone her backyard without looking at the bullet.
screen.
[Did everyone see that? What was that just now? Was it a video of Xaviera auditioning?]
[I think she acted very well… why… why are they saying she has no real talent?]
[Even if she is talented, it’s her fault for stealing Anna’s role, and Anna was the first to get that role!]
[Why did the live–stream suddenly stop? Who showed us that video?]
Just after a few bullet comments were sent, the live–stream was cut off again, followed by another security video.
The surveillance was still from the audition area, but this time the person entering was Anna Campbell. The fans were overjoyed – it wasn’t easy to see Anna’s audition cl*ps.
Though the timestamp of the surveillance video showed it was from yesterday, one day later than Xaviera, maybe Anna had reserved the role a long time ago!
Next
Anna Campbell’s audition began, and it was instantly disappointing. She couldn’t even recite her lines, just mumbling a few sentences. Then, she skillfully applied eye drops to her eyes and pretended/ to cry in sorrow. The directors present all looked embarrassed.
THE
People in front of the screen were stunned.
[Wasn’t Anna very dedicated? How come she needs eye drops to cry? And her fans are saying her acting is very good and that she’s a workaholic? Is this supposed to be good acting?]
[She just said Xaviera had no acting skills, when the one who really has no acting skills is herself!] The brain–dead fans still tried to defend her: [Anna is just too busy, and she didn’t have time to memorize the script. Once she formally takes this role, she will definitely memorize her lines proficiently. How could Xaviera, a newcomer, have better acting skills than Anna? Besides, even if she is talented, it still can’t cover up the fact that Xaviera sold her b*dy for the role!]
500 Chapter 500: The Most Cunning Person is You!
The crazy fans had just finished leaving comments when the screen went black again. Then, another surveillance video appeared, showing Anna Campbell and Zoe Campbell entering the director’s office, with the director and producer rushing forward to greet them.
–Anna: “Director Parkin, I can invest in the crew, the Campbell family will contribute five million dollars to this movie. I have only one request, which is for me to play Elijah Flack’s sister.” –Director Parkin hesitated: “Miss Campbell, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, it’s just… the role has already been decided, and it’s a newcomer recommended by Mr. Flack, who has great acting skills. We signed the contract yesterday, I’m really sorry…
–Anna appeared nonchalant: “10 million dollars.”
–At this moment, Zoe spoke up angrily: “Xaviera Evans? That b*tch is not even qualified to compete with our Anna? She’s a liar! Does someone with absolutely no acting experience even deserve to compete with Anna for a role? If she stars in this movie, she will completely ruin it! Our Anna is the box office draw, if you choose Xaviera Evans to star, don’t blame the Campbell family for being rude!”
–Anna was generous: “I have never seen any of Xaviera Evans‘ works, I think she might not be a professional, and without systematic training, how can she act well in a movie… But it’s okay, if you have already decided on the role, then forget it, after all, it’s first come, first served.”
–After hesitating for a while, Director Parkin finally agreed: “Alright then, Miss Campbell, this role will be played by you.”
-Anna: “Don’t worry, Director Parkin, I will cover Xaviera Evans‘ breach of contract penalty.”
When the last sentence was finished, the video ended and switched back to the live broadcast room.
At this point, Anna was still introducing her backyard, saying that she often creates or practices acting there, completely unaware that the situation in the live broadcast room had completely changed.
The audience was in shock for a long time. It turned out that it was not Xaviera Evans who had stolen Anna’s role, but Anna who had stolen Xaviera’s role. And now she was biting back?
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds before digesting this news. They heard Anna speak: “This is my first collaboration with Elijah Flack, but…”
The host asked: “What’s happened?”
“But Mr. Flack seems to prefer Miss Xaviera Evans.”
Anna sighed helplessly: “Mr. Flack has already announced on Twitter that he is quitting the movie, and right after the incident with Xaviera stealing the role. I really don’t understand why someone like Mr. Flack would stand up for Xaviera. Maybe it’s because she was recommended by him, and I don’t know what Xaviera said to Mr. Flack, maybe…”
Anna’s words were meant to make Elijah Flack’s fans come out and attack Xaviera, and to let everyone blame Xaviera for Mr. Flack quitting the crew.
500 Chapter 500: The Most Cunning Person is You!
Over his many years in the entertainment industry, Elijah Flack has never had any scandals. Now, for a newcomer, he has quit the crew directly, and the relationship between the two must not be simple.
Anna smiled meaningfully: “I think Mr. Flack will see the truth one day, it’s just a matter of time.”
The host was about to ask a question when suddenly there was a roar from his earpiece: “Are you blind?! Look at the live broadcast room!”
The host was stunned for a few seconds, then turned to look at the live broadcast room and went dumb, the entire screen was covered with items, making the video screen freeze.
Normally, it was quite common for the live broadcast room to be showered with gifts, but these people were sending things like ‘rotten eggs, ‘stinky socks, and ‘broken wine bottles, indicating that the audience was very dissatisfied. What was going on?
Before the host could react, Anna gently asked: “What happened? Let’s continue our tour of my study, which contains many of my collections…”
Before she could finish speaking, someone in the live broadcast room suddenly opened the interactive channel, and a roar came from the phone.
“You’re still pretending! It’s obvious that you stole Xaviera’s role, but you’re biting back! You can even frame a newcomer without any shame, acting all high and mighty on the surface, but in reality, you’re the most sinister person!”
There was silence all around.
The servants in the villa all lowered their heads, fearing that Miss Campbell would take her anger out on them. Anna’s face turned pale, her b*dy stiff.
After a few seconds, Anna hurriedly tried to explain: “I don’t understand what this audience means, you are a fan of Miss Xaviera Evans, then I have nothing to say, I hope you will leave voluntarily, and not disturb our live broadcast.”
