Chapter 24 Beat Him
Having never seen Samantha who was in such a state, Clara was a little scared, but she still felt pity for Samantha. "Did I scared you?" Samantha asked, looking back at Clara.
"I'm not afraid. I know they owe you all that," Clara replied with a sweet smile on her lovely round face.
Feeling warm in her heart, Samantha held out her hand to pinch her face again.
"I know you love me the most."
"Of course," Clara said sweetly.
Samantha smiled, speechless, and her eyes moved away from the TV screen.
At this moment, her heart was as cold as ice.
Ruben and Peyton have to pay for her death, don't they?
"What do you want to eat? I'll get some takeout." Clara changed the topic in time.
Samantha yawned in a very unsightly manner.
"Meat, of course. I am going to Universal Entertainment tomorrow to sign an agreement. I have to keep fit soon."
How to lose weight had been a woman's worry since ancient times.
Celebrities were no exception. In order to look better on camera, they were as skinny as they could be in private.
Well, it was hard to go either way.
"But Mr Baker said..." Clara hesitated.
"Come on, let's go. I'm your boss. Listen to me.
With that, Samantha went to sleep in her bedroom. As a good play was coming soon, she had to save her energy.
"Peyton, you did a good job this time. Although the incident last night had a certain impact on you, most of the netizen are speaking up for you." Linda analyzed it rationally as she headed to Universal Entertainment.
Peyton stopped, looking at Universal Entertainment, and hatred showing in his eyes. "Linda, I can't reconcile myself to be the supporting role! I won the best actress of Golden Orchid Awards. How could she be the leading role instead of me? I can't bear it!"
Linda gave her a soothing look. "Take it easy. I don't think it's bad. I've seen the script, and the supporting role's part is even more fascinating than the leading role's. As long as you can take a good control of it Helena will be overwhelmed by you. I have confidence in you! When the Helena fails, Universal Entertainment will definitely beg you?"
Peyton lost her cool. In particular, she suffered great humiliation after going though what happened at the party last night.
How could those people compare her with Helena? This was unbearable!
"What if I ask the Moore Group for help? Is it possible to take back my role?" Peyton asked tentatively.
Linda's face sank and she shook her head. "It's better not to do this. Universal Entertainment is owned by the Baker Group, and they decide how the script goes. It's hard for them to change the roles that they have decided. I heard that Helena is going to sign an contract today like us."
Peyton said, with a sneer on her red lips and a twinkling cold light under her eyes, "Since I can't change it, I have to work harder to shift the public's attention to me."
I want Helena to lose everything!
It's just the position of a heroine. As long as Helena didn't do well, she would receive countless praise even if she played the supporting role.
"Yes, you're smart, and sometimes compassion from others are important," Linda said, giving her a look of approval.
Peyton had a gentle and innocent smile on her face, and she was aware of that.
The person who knew Peyton best was Linda.
She knew how Peyton made the Moore family's real daughter die in the fire by showing weakness.
Peyton was vicious enough! Only such people could be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry!
Linda, who was an excellent agent, chose to support Peyton because of the Moore Group and the Knight Group. "When I met Helena today, I knew who she was."
Linda took a wary look ahead.
She went to the conference room of Universal Entertainment with Peyton.
Sure enough, Helena was already sitting in his seat, ready to sign.
"Good morning, Miss Moore," greeted Samantha with a sweet smile, ruffling the hair beside her face.
Peyton was wearing delicate makeup, but she still looked tired.
There was a strong contrast between her and Samantha.
"Well." Peyton gave her a cold look.
Gabriel's secretary quickly gave the script and contract to Linda and said politely, "Miss Moore, we're pressed for time to start filming. I hope Miss Moore can also attend on time."
Looking at the agreement, Peyton hated Samantha so much that wanted to tear her up.
Bitch! She did not deserve to compete with her. How could she be so arrogant because she slept with Gabriel?
"Miss Moore, why are you staring at me? Do I look better than the contract in your hand?" The more frustrated she was, the more happy Samantha was.
Peyton replied, clenching her fist, "I just want to see what kind of face it takes to let Universal Entertainment choose an internet celebrity to be the leading actress instead of me, a best actress! I think people of Universal Entertainment have no eyes?"
Samantha put her hand on the table in an arrogant attitude. She tut-tutted, "Miss Moore seems to be very jealous."
"Be Passionately Devoted hasn't been shot yet. Ms Powell, you just got the leading role. Don't get so excited about this." Peyton laughed, trying to control her anger.
Samantha said lazily, "The heroine is me instead of you. Is that not enough to prove anything?"
Peyton retorted, gritting her teeth, "What can be proved? Don't you know how you got the role?"
Samantha replied with a sneer, twining around her long hair with her finger, "What can be proved? It proves that you lost this time no matter how glamorous you are before! " Peyton's face changed and she said in a hateful voice, "Don't be so excited. It's still up in the air who will win or lose."
These two people were tit for tat. Fortunately, there was no one else in the conference room except their agents. Otherwise, this was going to be another big news.
With a long face, Gabriel's secretary managed to force a smile.
"Miss Moore, Ms Powell, can you sign the contract first?"
"Can you two stop talking! Is it funny?" The secretary thought.
If Samantha knew how she felt, she had to admit that she did feel pretty good.
Seeing that how furious Peyton was, Samantha couldn't be happier anymore, and she might eat much more on dinner.
Oh, no. As she was on a diet, Gabriel told her to stay in shape.
She sighed with disappointment.
She couldn't eat spicy hotchpotch tonight.
Peyton, however, thinking that secretary's words was a mockery of her, she snorted and signed the contract..
Samantha also signed the contract quickly and showed it to the secretary.
With that, Peyton left, followed by Samantha, leaving the secretary to sigh alone.
The director did have an eye for choosing actress. Not only was Helena beautiful, but she was very recognizable. The most important thing was that her cold aura made her more attractive than Peyton whose public persona was an innocent and beautiful girl.
If her acting was good, it would be a matter of time that Peyton was replaced by her.
The appearance of Helena that made Peyton, the move queen, feel threatened.
At the entrance of Universal Entertainment, Gabriel and Clara were waiting for her in the car.
Samantha went to the door and saw a red sports car driving to the side of the road. A tall and thin man stepped down from the car and stopped in front of Peyton.
"Peyton, who took your part? How ignorant she is!"
Samantha, who was standing not far away, saw his face clearly.
Wearing a motorcycle suit, sharp-featured, he looked cool and handsome, but he seemed to be dissipated, and he was a typical rich second generation.
Samantha shivered at the sight of his face.
He was Caelan, Samantha's twin brother, and she was born only five minutes earlier than Caelan.
Caelan had harbored ill feelings towards her, and gave her hard times with Peyton. He always felt that Samantha was ugly and rustic and didn't deserve to be part of the Moore family. Therefore, in Caelan's eyes, Peyton was the only one whom he took as sister.
Look, how vulnerable was the so-called blood relationship? Family love was just a joke.
Being wreathed in sun, Samantha had mixed expressions on her face, and she couldn't feel any warmth. All she could feel was being surrounded by coldness.
Caelan figured it out after seeing her eyes.
"Did you take my sister's part? You don't even deserve to carry her shoes. Plastic face."
As the youngest son of the Moore family, Caelan was able to get anything he wanted. How could he show any respect to Samantha?
"How can you talk like that?" Clara got out of the car and ran over. She pushed Caelan away and guarded Samantha behind her. Caelan's expression become sinister. Samantha thought he would rush forward and beat her up to vent his anger for Peyton. "Caelan, stop," Peyton said, who came slowly.
Caelan said to Samantha, pointing at her, "My sister is kind-hearted and doesn't want to make a fuss with you. I won't let you give her a hard time. How uneducated you are to take away others' things. Do you think you can keep a foothold in the entertainment industry by sleeping with others?"
Caelan was spluttering with rage.
There was some resemblance between Caelan and Samantha before she was disfigured. They were both good-looking, but Caelan's arrogance made Samantha disgust.
She had never disliked someone like this, even if the person was her own brother.
"Mr Moore, are you standing up for your sister? But you may be disappointed. It's none of your business how I get the part. Mind your business. How capable you are to speak up for your sister? You are just a rich second generation who is idle, good-for-nothing! " Helena said, with a sharp voice.
Being attacked, in a fit of bad temper, Caelan came to Samantha, who was half head short than him.
"Is your mother dead? Didn't she teach you to how to talk well?" Caelan insulted.
"Watch your mouth, shut up!" Clara snapped in a hurry.
There was fury in Samantha's eyes, but she slowly pushed away Clara.
"Clara, don't fight with such a person. He is out of our league."
As soon as she finished speaking, Samantha gave Caelan a quick slap on his face, making him dumbfounded.
"Nicely done! Let the fool know how powerful you are!"
