?Chapter 478:


    Reality hit Elyse like a cold ssh. She thrust an using finger at Elena, her voiceden with urgency. “That woman is the one ruining our audition. I will ensure she exits immediately.”


    Elyse turned toward Elena with a flourish, her voice rising inmand. “You heard them! Now get out!”


    All the while, Elena had remained a quiet spectator in her secluded corner, her presence barely noted until Elyse’s loud usations.


    A sly, icy smile crept over Elena’s lips as she watched Elyse flounder. From the beginning to the end, Elyse had been the sole one speaking loudly, yet absurdly, she had the nerve to ask her to leave.


    “Elyse, what’s got you so on edge? What is it that you fear?” Elena drawled.


    Elyse immediately bristled at the question, her voice escting to a near shout. “What nonsense are you spouting? Fear? What on earth would I be afraid of? I’ve meticulously prepared for the role of Rylee, unlike you—aplete neer. Why should I be intimidated by you? It’s absurd! This is the audition site for the film based on Lena’s book. If we dy here and push back the film’s production, causing Lena distress, can you bear the responsibility?”


    In contrast to Elyse’s agitation, Elena retained her calm demeanor. She replied with measured calm, “When people feel threatened, their voices tend to rise without them noticing, as if louder words might lend them more credibility. Elyse, did you hear how elevated your tone was just now? I haven’t uttered a single disruptive word.”


    “Word. It’s you who’s unsettled the audition process, and really, you ought to be the one to leave.”


    Elyse’s expression darkened, her face setting into a grimace.


    Elyse’s raised voice had indeed thrown the audition into disarray, and it was clear that Kenton was now notably irritated.


    Kenton rose to his feet, his voice dripping with impatience. “Who dares to interrupt? Haven’t you grasped the basic protocols of this audition space? Leave at once.”


    Kenton moved decisively toward Elyse. However, his stern expression softened the moment his gaze fell on Elena.


    Today, Elena was d in a flowing white dress, the delicate neckline lending a celestial quality to her appearance.


    Stay tuned for more g??lnoνe??s.c?m


    The sight of Elena’s cool, refined featuresplemented by the dress left Kenton spellbound—she was the embodiment of the character he had imagined for Rylee.


    A smile blossomed on Kenton’s previously stern face, transforming his demeanor entirely.


    Elyse, still oblivious to the shifting dynamics, hurriedly interjected, “Mr. Pearson, this woman isn’t one of the actresses. I caught her slipping in a moment ago. We should escort her out and continue with the auditions.”


    Kenton’s tone softened, a hint of intrigue coloring his words. “No, no. If she’s found her way here, she must hold some fascination with ‘A Dream Within a Dream.''”


    “Mr. Pearson,” Elyse’s voice trembled slightly, her anxiety mounting.


    ‘A Dream Within a Dream’ had captured the hearts of many, turning the role of Rylee into a much-coveted prize.


    For any otherpetitor, Elyse would have barely batted an eyelid. She often paraded around as part of the illustrious Harper family and the cousin of the renowned Louis, leveraging their prestigious names to curry favor with influential directors and producers.
