She is Beautiful
Eulalia didn't want to mess up by mistaking someone again. After all, a mistake in her previous life had ruined her and cost her life.Eulalia stared at the photo on Jane's phone, pushing down the sourness in her eyes."Eula, are you okay?" Jane asked cautiously. Even with her usually thick nerves, she could tell something was off with Eulalia.Eulalia shook her head, "I just want to meet this person." Her voice was a bit hoarse, with a touch of frustration."That might be tough."Victor Truex was a movie king, with tens of millions of fans and a reputation as the "most wanted husband," while Eulalia was only a minor star.Tough? Not really. As long as someone is alive, you can meet them.During those years by Percival’s side, Eulalia learned one thing: with ability, you can not only control your own life but also others’.Eulalia refocused her attention on the script in her hands.Jane was puzzled and softly said, "Eula, the movie king recently joined a show called 'Actor's Arrival.'

Total Domination
But now, Eulalia’s eyes were sharp. Standing quietly by the window with sunlight spilling in, she glowed even more than the light.Even someone as picky as Reid had to admit that Eulalia had caught his eye. Such a face could be called a vase, but he thought, maybe in a future drama that needed a character to play dead, Eulalia would be perfect lying in a coffin as a background prop."Hello, I'm Eulalia Clearwater, here to audition for the role of Bodil." Eulalia's voice was cool and clear, snapping Mr. Reid out of his thoughts.Reid asked directly, "Have you read the script?""I have.""Then act out the scene where Bodil dies."Bodil dies in prison, after enduring all kinds of torture: her fingers crushed, her body covered in burns. Driven mad by the pain, she meets the heroine Yanet one last time, cursing her with blood in her mouth. It's the climax of the entire drama, very impactful.Everyone thought Mr. Reid was being difficult by asking Eulalia to perform this scene. After all, t

A Diamond in the Rough
The place fell silent like a graveyard.Reid was the first to snap out of it. He hadn’t expected Eulalia to have such a powerful presence, bursting out like she’d broken free from some kind of restraint. Her eyes were filled with murderous hatred, and she looked like a vengeful spirit crawling out of hell.Some people are just born for the camera.Eulalia's performance was so intense that only the great Victor Truex might be able to match it without being overshadowed.Reid watched Eulalia's eyes through the camera and felt chills all over. No one had ever shocked him like this before.Even more terrifying, it had been twenty seconds, and no one else had reacted yet.Evette, who was acting opposite her, sat on the ground, trembling and pale, looking like she was stuck in a nightmare she couldn’t escape.Eulalia had completely dominated the scene, effortlessly leading everyone astray with her performance.Whoever said Eulalia was a hack, or that she couldn't act, must have been out of

I didn't Get It
"Clear your schedule for the next while and get ready to play Crissy."Wait, did she just land the role? Eulalia was confident she could nail Crissy's part, but she never thought Mr. Reid would pick her straight away.In this industry, it's all about the money, not talent. They don't care how well you act, just if you can bring in the bucks. With Eulalia's tarnished reputation and bad press, even she wouldn't hire herself for the lead role.The role of Crissy was too captivating, better than the protagonist Yanet. The audience might have a hard time accepting Eulalia in this part.The producer was still reeling from Eulalia's performance. Watching her sit down, he almost wanted to kneel and call her "Your Majesty."When Reid declared Eulalia as the second lead, the producer snapped back to reality, startled. If it weren't for the setting, he might have throttled Reid. He whispered urgently, "Mr. Reid, what are you thinking? That's Eulalia Clearwater.""I know who she is.""She has a l

The One She Dreamed about
Jane was in shock and couldn't believe it even after they got back. Eulalia, who had initially auditioned for a vicious supporting role, ended up securing the role of the cherished second female lead. Jane was dying to know what had happened in the audition room, but no matter how much she asked, Eulalia wouldn’t spill a word. "Eula, I feel like you’ve changed so much. It’s like you’re a different person," Jane said, unable to contain her curiosity. Eulalia put on her mask and sunglasses. Hearing Jane's murmurs, she paused and looked up at the bright sky. "No, I've always been like this..." she said. Yes, she should be like this, the proud Eulalia who could overcome any challenge. She shouldn't be the Eulalia who lost everything for love. Loving someone should include self-love, a lesson she knew as a child but somehow forgot as she grew up. She learned the hard way that if you want to catch the l

A Trap
Eulalia got up at 6 AM, went for a jog, and then came back to shower and make breakfast. Her previous life experience with stomach cancer taught her the importance of maintaining a healthy routine and eating on time. She remembered how she used to prepare elaborate meals for Percival, only to be met with disappointment and illness instead of his company. Reflecting on this, she couldn't help but think she had been quite foolish.At 9 AM, she received a call from the delivery guy to pick up a package. After getting the code, she put on a jacket, sunglasses, and a mask. On weekdays, her neighborhood wasn't very busy, mostly just elderly people exercising and moms with kids. She picked up her package, took it back to her apartment, and opened it to find a bunch of small parts. After some assembly, she ended up with a device about the length of a finger. She clipped this newly assembled gadget into her hair, where it looked like an ordinary hairpin and wouldn’t attract attention.With limi

Everything Goes According to the Plan
Eulalia’s face paled, her eyes misting with tears. “I... I just want to end our contract…” She struggled, but Cylus’s grip was too strong. She trembled like a leaf in the wind.Cylus glared at her, deleting the recording and formatting the phone for good measure. He then smashed it on the floor, shattering the screen.“No…”After searching her thoroughly to ensure she had no other recording devices, Cylus yanked her by the hair, throwing her to the ground. Her small, terrified face looked up at him, eyes wide like a frightened deer.“Unless you pay the breach penalty, an astronomical amount, you can’t end the contract,” Cylus sneered.Eulalia shook her head fearfully.“Then behave and stop with these tricks. You think you can outsmart me? Pathetic.” He raised his hand and slapped her hard. She tried to dodge, but her neck still took the blow. She crumpled to the floor, clutching her neck as tears streamed down her face.Lying on the ground, she curled up defensively, sobbing. “the com

Fearless
Luckily, the protective film did its job and didn't get damaged. It would've been such a waste to sacrifice a phone just to deal with some scumbag.The phone got wiped clean, and the recordings were gone. Recovery was out of the question. But Eulalia never intended to use the phone to trap Cylus. Cylus has been in the entertainment industry for a long time; his guard is pretty high. He wouldn't easily spill the beans. But he has a major flaw—he can't handle anger.He's like a string of firecrackers ready to explode or a balloon that pops with the slightest prick. People tend to say things they've bottled up when they're emotional. Cylus had been annoyed with her since yesterday, holding it in until today, looking for an easy target to release it on. Eulalia, who he saw as worthless, was the perfect target. Plus, Evette, who was with him, didn't like him either.Sure enough, she easily got him to say more than she expected, and the content was even richer than she'd hoped.Eulalia took

Running Into Percival
“You weren’t like this before, were you?” Same face, but definitely not the same pushover. How could someone change this much? It’s like she’s a different person. If she had always been like this, he wouldn’t have underestimated her. “Well, think of me as having a split personality then. Get used to this version of me, and if you can’t, I’ll make sure you remember me vividly.” Eulalia tossed the magazine she was holding onto the table and said in an orderly manner, “I want the money transferred to me before midnight, and the termination contract sent to my email by the weekend.” Cylus’ face twisted, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t terminate the contract?” “I don’t want to terminate it now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t want to in the future. Do you really think your lousy co

Those Three Years
Percival watched the car drive away, feeling a sudden emptiness inside. How could someone have eyes so similar to hers? The way she looked at him was exactly like in his dreams, and just thinking about it brought him immense pain. Oliver ran up to him, out of breath. “Boss, what’s up?” Percival murmured, “I just saw Eulalia.” Oliver paused, thinking back to the scene. “You mean the woman who just got in the elevator was Eulalia?” Percival didn’t reply, but his silence was confirmation enough. The woman who got in the elevator was wearing a mask that covered her face entirely, showing only her eyes. Oliver couldn’t understand how Percival recognized her as Eulalia. Besides, Eulalia had died three years ago, burned alive on a snowy Christmas day. They all knew that. “Boss, she’s been dead for three years. There’s no way you saw her.”
