?Chapter 477:


    Devonte was equally taken aback. “Oh, um, yes! Lena, you’ve arrived! I’ve missed you so much!”


    Elena passed him the rest of the scripts.


    Devonte was deeply moved. “It’s such an honor that you’re entrusting me with the adaptation of ‘A Dream Within a Dream.’ I’m really touched! I promise to uphold the expectations of your countless fans!”


    Elena gave a simple nod. “Good.” Had she not trusted Devonte, she wouldn’t have permitted him to adapt her novels over the years.


    Devonte set the scripts down. “Please, Lena,e this way. You’ve arrived just in time. The auditions downstairs have likely just begun. Help me oversee them. We’re auditioning for the role of Rylee, and who better to understand the character than you?”


    He nned to escort Elena downstairs, but just then, his secretary appeared with a document that urgently needed his signature.


    Devonte told her, “Lena, please head down first. I’ll be right there after I handle this. I’ve already informed the staff downstairs, so they’ll let you through without issue.”


    Elena proceeded downstairs. As expected, the security guards allowed her into the audition room.


    The audition room wasrge, with the director at the front and actresses taking their turns on stage.


    Elena chose a quiet corner to stand in, aiming not to interrupt the auditions. Suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the room. “Why are you here? Elena, do you realize where you are? This isn’t a ce for you. Leave now and stop interfering with the auditions.”


    Elyse’s face twisted in a mix of rage and disbelief, her voice quivering with a slight edge of panic. Indeed, her eyes hadn’t deceived her. It was unmistakably Elena, the wretched woman! This was the audition for the female lead in A Dream Within a Dream, so why on earth was Elena here?


    Caught up in her indignation, Elyse failed to notice the volume of her voice rising.


    Her biting tone shattered the calm, causing heads to turn in surprise.


    On stage, the actress paused, her expression soured by Elyse’s interruption, her eyes narrowing with irritation. Kenton and the crew, too, swiveled toward the source of the disturbance, a blend of curiosity and fury on their faces.


    Your next story is at gα?ησν????s


    A staff member stepped forward, his annoyance palpable. “Excuse me, who might you be? Don’t you know there’s an audition going on? If you wish to talk, I must ask you to take it outside.”
