Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1903

Luna's face turned as white as a ghost. Despite everything, she still hoped that Jean would protect her because of their relationship. "You have to help m e, Jean. As long as you try to shield me, then your big brother surely won't have a fall out with you for a mere woman, right?"

Jean said, "If he were any other big brother, then sure. I would just have to say a few words and that would settle it. But you've offended my eldest brother, the well-known crown prince of Imperial Capital. That big brother of mine has always spoiled my sister-in-law. I'm merely his cousin. Even when his own mother offended his wife, the repercussions were grave."

Luna's face turned whiter than a sheet of paper now..." I've offended Imperial Capital's crown prince?"

Jean nodded at her.

Luna immediately burst into tears. "You're the one who told me that you'd always cover for me, that I can walk triumphantly all over Imperial Capital. I haven't even been famous for long before getting trampled on by that sister-in-law of yours. Boo-hoo!"

After crying for quite some time, she thought of a serious question and widened her eyes to ask, "How does the crown prince plan on punishing me?"

Jean replied, "My sister-in-law wants you to give up the lead role."

Luna wiped the tears off her face and burst into a smile. "That's all?"

Jean's expression turned sorrowful, and he paused for a moment before continuing, "But my big brother isn't planning on forgiving you. He wants to shut you out and have you pay up with all of your fortune."

Luna lost all color on her face. "He sure is cruel."

Jean continued, "But you sure are blind. My sister-in-law's beauty is ethereal, so even if she was dressed rather plainly, there should've been an air of grandeur around her. Forget the fact that you offended her, but you even pushed our Josie into premature labor. My sister-in-law specifically said that you lack virtue, and my big brother added that this is the first time she's ever complained about anything to him. He surely won't do anything to disappoint his wife."

After a slight pause, he said, "There's no way out of this matter, Luna. I suggest you quit showbiz for now."

"Okay," Luna replied dejectedly.

Three days later.

Angeline showed up in front of the cast and crew once more. The director told her while groveling, "Miss Harts, the management has agreed to have you take on the female lead role. After this, try to practice your lines with the male lead. Do well, and let's hope you'll

become popular immediately."

Angeline could not care less about popularity, but she had always been a serious and responsible person. Since she had accepted the job, she would do her best for the crew and cast. Hence, she began to be engrossed in the intense world of film shooting.

On her first day upon joining the cast, she met Ash Long, the actor playing the male lead. It was said that this actor was extremely popular and had generally been active only on the big screen. This was the first time he had agreed on doing a drama series.

The young actors and actresses in the crew team admired him very much.

Hence, Angeline took the director's advice and went to him to rehearse her lines.

When the actor heard that Angeline was a newcomer, he began to show a temper of a big shot. "She's merely a newcomer. It's a blessing for her to be able to act alongside me. I don't think there's a need for us to rehearse. I don't have the time to teach a newbie..."

When Angeline heard this, she immediately pushed the dressing room door wide open and walked up to him, trying to reason with him.

"I know how precious your time is, but so is mine. I have a sick daughter at home, and I'd love to end work early so I can be with her. Since everyone's time is limited, let's hurry up so we can all go home early.' Ash looked at her closely and said in a frivolous tone,"

Oh

my.

You're quite the beauty, aren't you? You wouldn't have used any unspoken means to get this far ahead, right?"

Angeline's face became livid.

Suddenly, she leaned forward and said overbearingly," Do you know how the previous female lead got replaced?"

Ash looked at Angelina suspiciously. "Do you perhaps have a backer?"

Angelina replied, "If you dare make any trouble, I can make them replace you as well."

Ash looked at her in slight disbelief and smiled before saying, "Who doesn't have a backer nowadays?"

Angelina retorted, "I'm not here to compare whose backers are more powerful. We're at work, so please be more serious."

Then, Ash said, "Alright then. Let's practice the scenes if you'd like. My part's fine now, you can show me yours first."

Angelina was resisting the urge to slap him to death.

However, since she was a newcomer, Angelina was still afraid of being a burden to everyone, so she self-effacingly started to perform her scene.

She knelt in front of the actor and immersed herself in her role within seconds.
