After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 130

"Grandpa, I've been practicing the drama for a long time. My face is stiff now."

"You're a close friend to Mayor Cody. He'll definitely agree."

"Please, Grandpa..."

"It's a trifle. Why do you insist on asking me for help? All right. I'll call him," the old man's voice sounded.

Mollie wore a triumphant smile. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Enough. What do you want for dinner? I'll let the kitchen prepare for you," her grandfather said.

"Ribs, chicken wings... beef..." Mollie said some food randomly before ending the call.

She snorted, wishing to see how Mayor Cody would stop Sylvia later.

Mollie's grandfather was a righteous general. He hated it the most when others were incompetent but gained important positions by using connections. He trusted his granddaughter, so he detested Sylvia to the core.

He wondered why Cody had invited such a woman to be the general director.

After ending the call with his granddaughter, the old man called Cody. "Hello, Cody. My granddaughter told me there was a new general director. It's a young woman, right?"

"Yes, she's young but competent," Cody replied with a smile. "What's wrong?"

"The woman is indeed competent. She refused to let my granddaughter sing a solo. As you know, she's sung songs in previous years. Since childhood, she had learned to sing and dance. Why is she assigned to a modern drama this year?"

Unconcealed unhappiness filled the voice of Mollie's grandfather.

Cody instantly understood why he was calling. It seemed Sylvia's aggressive working style annoyed Mollie.

"Sylvia is indeed competent and professional. Please wait and see. Mollie sang a song every year. I'm sure others are tired of it. She's now acting in a modern drama, which is new. I'm sure it'll be excellent," Cody refused politely.

In anger, Mollie's grandfather hung up the phone instantly.

"How arrogant! You even don't respect your old boss. I'm so pissed off."

The news that Cody had turned him down was spread among the actors and actresses shortly after.

Those who wished to change the program became disappointed and stopped trying.

If Mollie succeeded, they would use the same method. However, she didn't.

Mollie was riled up and couldn't believe that Cody even disobeyed her grandfather.

She wanted to quit the gala but was unwilling to let another person replace her.

It would be an excellent opportunity to gain favors from the leaders. Especially their performances would be marked after the gala ended, and the actors and actresses would receive rewards, which were worth mentioning in their personal CVs.

Gritting her teeth, Mollie had to learn how to perform in a modern drama.

Since she failed, others had to be tolerant and dared not to contact anyone to change Sylvia's mind.

A girl, who looked extremely quiet, would play the piano, which was her special program.

Sylvia was sitting next to her on the bench. "You'll play Rhapsody of Croatia, right, Jenna?"

"Yes, Director." Jenna Shepherd looked at her, her big, dewy eyes looking innocent. Sylvia could tell she had just started working as she looked timid.

"Can you play it for me now?" Sylvia asked.

"Uh?" Jenna had learned to play the piano since childhood. She was confident playing, so she planned to practice a few times and returned home.

It was too noisy in the hall, and she felt pretty uncomfortable.

Sylvia's request made her startle.

"Why? Can I listen to it for rehearsal?" Sylvia furrowed her brows slightly.

She could tell the timidness in Jenna's eyes. A lovely smile blossomed across Sylvia's face, which stunned Jenna.

Jenna gaped at her. "You are so pretty..."
