Chapter 327 No one in the entertainment industry had ever dared to ignore Barbie like this.
She stepped forward and shoved Cheryl's shoulder impatiently. "I'm talking to you. Are you mute? With Yvette here, do you really think you'll pass the audition? Do you even deserve it?" A gleam of light flashed in her eyes. There was no better tthan the present to attempt to solidify her relationship with Yvette.

"That's right. Someone who's never acted before thinks she can audition for Ms. Newton's show? Does she think this is the supermarket where anyone can just show up?" "It's important to know one's place, but speople clearly don't." "Running into Ms. Herschel for the saudition is just bad luck. Without even an ounce of fame, how does this lady expect to succeed?" Everyone here had clawed their way up in the industry, and what they disrespected the most was someone who thought they could rise to the top overnight. Their comments were all belittling Cheryl.
Cheryl clenched her fists behind her back, forcing down her nerves and plucking up the courage to meet their disdainful stares. At that moment, she understood that their ridicule would never stop until she succeeded. So, she straightened her back and faced them head-on.
The group merely scoffed and continued making fun of her. Suddenly, a shout from the audition room interrupted them. "Yvette Herschel, please cin for your audition." Yvette stood up, and as she passed Cheryl, she gave her a cold, mocking look. "Acting isn't just about having a pretty face. The supporting female lead role is mine. If you don't have the skills, stop dreaming." Seeing Cheryl's face turn pale, Yvette withdrew her gaze and strode into the audition room.
The murmurs started again.
"I heard Yvette might be bringing investment into the production. She's really determined to get this role." "She may be arrogant, but you can't deny that her acting is good." "Good acting skills, solid financial banking—she's got every advantage. Isn't the role basically hers?" "What else would you expect?" Cheryl heard every word, and the pressure she felt multiplied. What chance did she have of winning against someone like Yvette? Cheryl was sure that she would lose. Her gaze sank, her body stiffening as she sat frozen in place.

She's rich, talented, and beautiful." her She turned to Cheryl, scrutinizing her outfit before deliberately raising voice and continuing, "Unlike speople. Forget the lack of talent, she even cdressed like a beggar." Apart from a decent-looking face, there was nothing impressive about her. But in the entertainment industry, good looks were the least valuable asset.
Barbie sneered, "I think speople really need to stop chasing after things that are out of their league."
A few women who were close to Barbie joined in, saying, "She probably won't give up until she gets rejected. Just war and see-Yvette will walk out of that audition room with the supporting female lead role in the bag."
Cheryl ignored them and kept her eyes locked on the closed doors of the audition room. Her indifference only fueled their anger. She had nothing, so what was there to be so proud of? Soon enough, she would learn her place.
Just then, à loud crash cfrom_
inside the audition room, stopping the chatter outside instantly. Om Everyone exchanged nervous glances, their expressions shifting. One person whispered, "I heard Ms. Newton is in a bad mood. Did someone's bad acting piss her off?" At that, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
