?Chapter 483:


    Francesca, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, trailed behind Louis, keen to witness the unfolding drama. She knew well how protective Louis could be. When Dovisa previously targeted Elena, Louis had responded by cklisting her, which shut her out of acting opportunities and forced her to take a job as a club waitress.


    Elyse stiffened. Why was Louis here? She had been confident that Kenton wouldn’t actually have the courage to contact Theo or Louis, which was why she had made the suggestion so boldly. Louis had always been distant in his interactions with her, and she didn’t dare take the risk. What if he called her out on her fabrications in front of everyone?


    “Bullying my younger sister? Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” Louis’ smile carried a terrifying edge.


    Kenton was stunned, struggling to grasp what was unfolding. Who was Louis addressing? It appeared Louis was upset, seemingly intent on defending Elyse.


    Reflecting on Elyse’s earlier confidence, Kenton wondered if he had misjudged the situation.


    The crowd erupted into a wave of murmurs. “Oh my gosh! It’s really Louis!” “Louis is here! Did hee to defend Elyse?”


    “I remember Kenton worked with Louis on two projects. Is Elyse going to get the role of Rylee?”


    “Even if she is connected with Louis, she shouldn’t just flout the rules, right?”


    “Rules are merely tools for the wealthy to manipte the less powerful. In the presence of the influential, rules are irrelevant.”


    “I never imagined Louis to be this way. I used to respect him so much…”


    Kenton nervously clenched his fist, coughing into it. “Well… Louis, the situation is like this… I—I…”


    Kenton scrambled mentally, trying to formte what to say next. Louis was not only the lead actor in A Dream Within a Dream but also the third son of the Harper family. He definitely did not want to provoke Louis.


    Before Kenton could gather his thoughts, Louis spoke again, and only then did Kenton realize he wasn’t being interrogated.


    Louis’ tone was chillingly sharp. “Elyse, answer me. Weren’t you quite bold earlier? Elena’s choices are not your concern.”


    Elyse’s eyshes fluttered nervously, and she couldn’t bring herself to meet Louis’ gaze.

    Louis had already joined Elena, his tone softening. “Why didn’t you tell me you wereing here for the audition? I could have picked you up.”


    The difference in his demeanor was striking. It felt like a direct p to Elyse. Earlier, she had just imed to be close to Louis, yet here he was, disregarding herpletely. Even those less observant could now see the truth. Elyse had been bluffing, but now her true nature was exposed for everyone to see. It was ridiculous.


    “Almost had me fooled. I knew Louis wasn’t really like that!”


    “That’s too funny. Maybe I should start iming I’m close to Wesley.” Some individuals, easily riled up, doubted Louis’ words.


    “Who can confirm Louis’ ims are true? Maybe he’s just putting on a show to clear himself of favoritism, and some fools actually believe it.”


    “Nothing justifies nepotism! Louis became an actor because he’s the third son of the Harper family. Now, he’s using the same influence to boost the Harper family’s daughter.”


    “Whether Elyse or Elena gets the role doesn’t matter. The role of Rylee always goes to the Harper family!”
