Chapter 260

“Frederick, you should take a good look in the mirror. Your arrogance is truly revolting.” Selina opened the door and walked out without a glance

back.

George was waiting outside, and his face was etched with anxiety. The moment he saw Selina emerge, he hurried over. “Queen Selina, may I ask…” Selina replied. “It’s nothing. I refused. Just so you know, I’m here only because of my manager. I’m sure you understand what I mean.”

you and Mr.

George responded, “Yes, as long as you’re not upset with me. I truly didn’t know there was bad blood between you

Harvey

Selina had no interest in wasting words with George. She pressed the elevator button, ready to leave, just then, Frederick burst out and shouted. “Wait!” Selina quickly pressed the close button, and by the time Frederick reached the elevator, the doors had already shut

“M–Mr. Harvey.” George hesitated, about to speak, but Frederick didn’t look back as he rushed toward the staircase

When Frederick reached the first floor, he frantically searched but couldn’t replace any sign of Selina. He grabbed a staff member and asked, “Did you see Selina come through here!”

The staff replied, “Queen Selina? No. I definitely would have seen her if she had passed by

Frederick thought. Could it be. He mashed to the back door and, as he reached the road, caught a glimpse of Selina driving away.

Selina saw Frederick chasing her in her rearview mirror and felt a flicker of impatience. She accelerated and quickly disappeared from his view, Selina mused. Tonce thought Frederick was an exception in the Harvey family, but I must have been mistaken. It seems there isn’t a single normal person in the Harvey family

“Damn it!” It was too late to catch up now. Selina, known as Flying Shadow, had defeated the world racing champion, Lloyd. Even if Frederick hailed a taxi. it would be futile. “Selina, is there really no chance for us to talk things over!” Frederick clutched his chest, and his face etched with pain. He thought. If even this ace up my sleeve can’t bring Selina back, what else can i use to replace her!”

Back at the Harvey residence. Ashley was about to enter the living room when she overheard a conversation. She stopped and hid to eavesdrop when she heard Frederick and Selina bring mentioned, Manuel stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall in the corner. Glancing at the clock in the living room he said, Frederick must have met Selina by now. Joseph, Lloyd do you think Frederick can persuade her?”

Joseph remained silent, but Lloyd sighed. “We all know the answer, don’t we? Frederick is just being stubborn. There’s no way Selina will be swayed.”

Manuel remarked, “But what if? Fredericks adaptation of The Game of Viego‘ is a global hit. Who knows how many fans are following it? If Selina lands the lead female role, her fame will skyrocket. It’s an enticing opportunity.” This was also why Manuel partially supported Frederick’s attempt to meet Selina. Under different circumstances, Manuel wouldn’t hack Frederick in seeking out Selina just to set himself up for failure.

Given Selina’s temperament, her refusal seemed highly likely. After all, her exceptional qualities and various identines had completely overwhelmed Manuel

Ashley felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She thought. Since Frederick returned and insisted on replaceing Selina, I had a vague sense of foreboding, I didn’t expect it to be true. I rushed to debut and enter the entertainment industry not just because of the Harvey family’s and Joseph’s support, but also to compete for the female lead role in Frederick’s adaptation of The Game of Virgo Achieving that role would instantly elevate me to global fame!

That was Ashley’s true ambition and a huge stepping stone out of her current status

Ashley considered. Now, the long awaited opportunity I desired is being handed to Selina, the person I hate the most? The intense jealousy made Ashley her teeth and dig ber fingernails into her palms. She thought, It hurts, but the emotional pain is even greater! My brothers, who used to indulge me and always support me, have earned up to deceive me. They kept me in the dark about this, not giving me a single hint about this.

Just then, Joseph spoke. Frederick doing this withour informing Ashley beforehand doesn’t sit right with me.”

Manuel said casually, “There’s no other way. This is Frederick’s only option to attract Selina. I think Ashley will understand once she replaces out. After all, it’s past a female lead role, With Harvey Group’s resources, if Ashley truly wants to pursue a career in entertainment, there will be plenty of opportunities for female lead roles in TV dramas or films. We can always make her the center

Joseph responded, “Manuel, you’re oversimplifying things. This is a globally popular novel, and its adaptation rights have been swiftly secured, not to mention the involvement of big names and famous directors. If it weren’t for the male lead being set as a foreignet. I would have even tried to secure that role myself. This isn’t just about fame in Clusia. It’s a worldwide opportunity. It’s every actor’s dream!”

Oh Manuel was taken aback, hearing Joseph speak so candilly

Chapter 260

Since entering the entertainment industry, Joseph had kept his identity hidden, starting as an extra and gradually building his career. His real identity was only exposed by the media in a completely unintentional situation.

Joseph’s decision to become an actor was driven solely by his own talents and determination. His acting skills were well–regarded Joseph wast hardworking, eager to learn, and didn’t come across as a spoiled scion at all. Many directors admired him and were eager to work with him. Manuel was surprised to learn that such a strong contender for Chusia’s youngest award–winning actor role was so determined to secure the male lead role

in this movie.

Joseph said. “Don’t look at me like that. This is a golden opportunity, and Frederick has the final say. If I miss this chance, who knows how many years it will be before another one comes around? It could be a few years if I’m lucky. Or, it might be ten or twenty years if I’m not. Who can afford to wait that long?”

Joseph’s candidness left Manuel momentarily speechless. He thought, Indeed, it’s so many years. Who could wait that long? By then, one might be too old, and the drive might be gone. Manuel asked, “So… what should we do? If even Joseph is so eager, how do we explain this to Ashley!”
