Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 82

Preston asked, "How come I didn't hear a peep about you sneaking off for an audition? This is a production from Starlight International Group and Century Entertainment, why didn't you give me a heads up?"

Beatrice replied in a cutesy tone, "I know our family invested in this production too, but I didn't want to ride on favors. You know I dream of breaking into the entertainment industry, but I don't want people to think I got in through family connections."

Preston's face turned serious.

Laura gently added, "Let the kid find her own way. There's nothing wrong with the entertainment industry. Besides, Beatrice auditioned on her own, which shows her ambition. It's rare for her to be this passionate about something."

Preston asked, "What role are you playing? Starlight International Group is only involved in name for this production, mainly to get closer to Ivan. I haven't been paying much attention to it."

Beatrice replied proudly, "I'm the fourth lead female, with a total of 40 scenes."

Preston said, "It's impressive that you got the fourth lead role in your first gig, based on your own merits. Since you want to get into the entertainment industry, work hard. I'll fully support you to become a top-tier actress."

"Thanks, Dad," Beatrice answered with a smile.

Seeing Agnes' lack of reaction, Beatrice turned to her and said, "Speaking of, Agnes, what are your plans for the summer? Are you going to spend all your time in the library again? Don't let reading turn you into a lone wolf. You should get out more at your age."

"How could you say that to Agnes," Laura chided.

Beatrice replied, "I'm just stating facts. Doesn't she spend every summer in the library? But hey, the shooting location is at Lakeside College, Agnes. We'll probably be seeing each other a lot."

Agnes glanced at Beatrice, responding indifferently, "Yes, we probably will."

Having finished her meal, Agnes put down her utensils, "I'm done eating. You guys enjoy your meal. I'm heading back to my room."

As she left, she heard Beatrice complaining, "Dad, I bet Agnes is jealous that I got the part. You know, she snuck off to audition too, and I just happened to run into her..."

Agnes ignored her and returned to her room.

She pulled out a stack of scripts from her bag.

In her mind, Agnes couldn't believe that Beatrice was also part of this drama. This could be troublesome.

Agnes could already imagine Beatrice's reaction when she found out that Agnes was the lead. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
