Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me!

Chapter 69: Fated Enemy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Audrey found herself at a loss for words. In the original book, she and Elena were destined to be enemies, but Elena had already set her sights on Audrey before she could even make a move. Audrey couldn’t help but marvel at the intricacies of fate.

If her memory served her right, in the original book, Audrey had provoked Elena first. Then, the male lead of the story, Fred, had swooped in like a hero to rescue the damsel in distress.

And now, Audrey was playing her part dutifully, only to find herself unexpectedly at odds with Elena, despite Elena being the one who had initiated the “attack.”

It seemed that the inevitable outcome was beyond alteration. Audrey and Elena were destined to become lifelong adversaries.

“Director, are you certain about this portrayal?” Audrey asked as she stared at the assistant director with a fake smile.

The assistant director appeared hesitant. Dean had only mentioned Audrey’s great potential to him and hadn’t provided any specific instructions to take care of her.

It was precisely because of this that the assistant director focused on Elena. After all, she was supported by a very powerful person.

As for Audrey… The assistant director had only heard of her being a pretty girl with no acting skills. She even needs eye drops to act in a crying scene. In that case, there was no need for him to offend Elena over the script.

Audrey had heard rumors that Dean’s chosen script was promising. After all, many of the dramas he had directed had already gained so much popularity. Given this, she wondered how Dean would react upon discovering that the assistant director had casually altered the script.

With this in mind, Audrey held her tongue and followed the assistant director’s instructions.

Audrey’s on-the-spot performance was commendable. Despite the changes to the script, her performance remained unaffected. Before long, an insufferable and frail royal princess came to life on the stage.

Even those who were inclined to nitpick couldn’t help but admire Audrey’s acting prowess.

Elena’s expression gradually darkened.

In the subsequent scene, the female lead and the second female lead voiced their opinions on the kingdom’s spiritual symbol, the “Goddess Bella.” This scene was a turning point as it marked the official rupture between the female lead and the second female lead.

Perhaps Elena’s frustration with Audrey had reached its peak, because once the scene began, the disdain on Elena’s face betrayed her true sentiments. Audrey, on the other hand, matched every move, taking her performance to new heights.

“Duchess, if you claim to have failed your people, the true culprits are the cruel upper class and that accursed goddess statue. Why, then, do you drape yourself in priceless silk and luxurious perfume, criticizing the royal family’s dissatisfaction while enjoying a life of opulence? Why not relinquish your wealth and privilege to join the impoverished masses?”

Martha’s arrogance was evident in her biting words.

“Princess, our status in the upper class doesn’t make us equals. To be precise, you are far more despicable than I am,” Sharona’s disdain seemed genuine.

Sharona’s disdain seemed genuine.

“Enough!” Elena suddenly roared. Then, she angrily threw the small feather fan she carried with her to the ground!

Everyone was stunned.

“Director! She doesn’t know how to act at all!” Elena fumed.

The assistant director appeared perplexed. “Elena, there’s nothing wrong with

Audrey’s performance. You…”

“What do you mean there’s no issue?” Elena was so infuriated that she ceased her acting and sat down. “Look at her! She explicitly mentioned that she’d portray a hypocritical and feeble supporting character in the early stages. How could she suddenly don such an arrogant and domineering expression when confronting the female lead? It’s a blatant provocation!”

Audrey couldn’t help but chuckle. “Miss Elena, have you carefully read the script? Martha isn’t a good character to begin with. She and Serena are archenemies. When they meet privately, is there any need to feign kindness?”

‘That’s right. Is it necessary?’

Everyone knew this logic in their hearts.

In real life, if two individuals with an existing grudge were to meet in private, even though a direct confrontation might not be guaranteed, a harmonious relationship wouldn’t be expected, right?
