The Doted Lady Is So Wild

Ethan covered his chest, then took out the medicine bottle in his pocket, poured two pills in his palm, and swallowed them.

After a long while, his chest gradually began to feel better.

Just then, Kristen came out. Ethan opened the door and got out of the car, walking toward Kristen.

However, Ethan hadn’t slept all night and the corners of his eyes were dark. It was obvious that he hadn’t rested well. Kristen’s heart softened when she saw him in this state.

But she still turned around and ignored him, walking away alone.

Ethan grabbed her hand. “Kristen, don’t be angry.”

Kristen did not say a word, but in the end, she could not ignore him. She said lightly, “I’m not angry, but I just need to calm down and think about it carefully. I’ll be in the crew for this period of time. Don’t come to me for the time being.”

After saying that, Kristen broke free from his grip, opened the car door, and got into the car.

Anna felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, but she did not dare to ask any more questions. She could only ask the driver to drive the car away slowly.

When they arrived at the destination, Kristen saw a staff member carrying a piano over. Only then did Kristen remember that she was going to shoot a scene for playing the piano today. She walked into the dressing room and was about to change the clothes when she saw Taylor appear on set.

Kristen’s eyes darkened. Why did it seem like Taylor couldn’t get rid of her and could be seen everywhere?

“Taylor, this film of yours has a total of ten scenes. It’s only going to be filmed for two days,” the assistant director said grumpily. It was obvious that his attitude toward Taylor was not good at all.

In the past, Taylor could get whatever she wanted. Wherever she went, she was respected. Now that the Davis family was no longer rich, the people around her treated her differently.

Taylor clenched her fists and raised her head. Then she saw Kristen.

She snorted coldly and said, “I heard that there will be a piano scene today. Kristen, you are a person who are from an ordinary family, I’m afraid you have never seen a piano before. Can you play it?”

Kristen sat in front of the dressing table without a trace of panic in her voice.

“Whether I can play the piano or not have nothing to do with you.”

Taylor smiled.

“I’m just worried about you. It’s very shameful if your performance is too poor.”

Kristen retorted calmly, “No matter how embarrassing it is, it won’t be more embarrassing than you.”

Taylor’s face darkened. “Kristen, don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t make yourself a laughing stock when you can’t even play a note. I’m waiting to see you make a fool of yourself.”

Kristen replied, “Then your wish won’t come true.”

However, Taylor didn’t think much of it. In her eyes, Kristen was born into a lowly family and it was impossible for her to play the piano. The reason why she had chosen to join the production crew today was to watch Kristen lose face.

“Kristen, stand by.” The assistant director’s voice sounded. Kristen quickly replied, “I’m coming.”

After saying that, Kristen stood up and was about to leave. Taylor wanted to see Kristen make a fool of herself, so she followed her without makeup.

Kristen entered the scene and Director William told her the story very seriously. Kristen nodded repeatedly and finally sat in front of the piano under Director William’s guidance.

She put her fingers on the piano key. But she had just played two notes when she stopped.

“Kristen, what’s wrong?” Director William said unhappily.

The smile on Taylor’s face grew when she saw this.

“I told you not to pretend. Now, you expose yourself.”

Kristen stood up and said to Director William, “Director William, there’s something wrong with the piano intonation. I’ll test it out.”

The people around looked at each other in confusion. They had just listened to it and didn’t find anything wrong with the piano. Wasn’t the piano fine?

It was difficult for ordinary people to identify intonation. Only professionals could do it. Kristen just played two notes and she judged that there was something wrong with the piano intonation. Was she right?

Taylor sneered and said, “Why are you pretending to be a pianist? I’m sick of you.”

No one spoke. Taylor had a high opinion of herself and thought that Kristen was just putting on an act.

Kristen opened the lid and checked it carefully. Then, she played a few notes repeatedly. About ten minutes later, Kristen closed the lid.

“Director William, it’s done.”

Seeing that she had delayed everyone’s time, Director William was already a little unhappy.

“Well, all the departments, get ready. Let’s begin.”

Kristen was sitting in front of the piano and her fingers were placed on the black and white keys. A beautiful piece of piano music rang out and the surroundings immediately quieted down, especially Taylor. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Kristen.

“How could she play the piano so well?”

Remembering how she had mocked Kristen for not knowing how to play the piano, Taylor felt ashamed.

At the end of the song, Director William also called for a pause. Kristen stood up and there was a burst of applause around her. At this moment, a middle-aged man came out and looked at Kristen with appreciation.

“My piano has been repaired countless times, but I couldn’t solve the sound problem. Today, it only took a few minutes for you to adjust my piano. You are really an expert.”

Kristen smiled. “You flatter me. It’s just a coincidence.”

The man looked at Director William. “John, you have a good eye for the protagonist this time! What a good actress!”

Hearing this, Director William laughed out loud.

“Vold, you have sharp eyes. As the heroine, she is really good. But to be honest, I almost missed such a good actor.”

Hearing these words, Kristen immediately thought of the hundred million that Ethan sponsored to the crew.

Immediately, Kristen walked in front of Director William and asked, “Director William, can I talk to you alone?”

Director William raised his eyebrows and said, “Okay.”

So, the two of them went to the lounge. Director William asked, “What’s the matter? Just say it.”

Kristen pursed her lips and asked, “Director William, I want to know, did you choose me because of the 100 million Ethan sponsored for you?”

Director William looked at Kristen.

“Kristen, to be honest, although Mr. Wharton invested a hundred million dollars in me, he only wanted me to give you a chance to audition. In the end, I chose you because of your performance.”

After hearing Director William’s words, Kristen immediately understood. Ethan had only won an opportunity for her. She had gotten this role on her own, and she was still blaming him for acting on his own.

“Thank you, Director William. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Director William shook his head with a smile. “You don’t have to thank me. Your temperament matches my role. I can only say that we are all lucky people. My luck is to meet you, who fits the role. Your luck is to not miss that audition.”
