Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 496

Chapter 500

However, Yvonne didn't reply as she stared at the phone, deep in thought.

From the way they addressed each other, she thought that they were married. Since they weren't, she would have to teach Vania a lesson.

"Keep an eye on Vania. Tell me right away if there is any news about her."

Previously annoyed, Yvonne had now relaxed considerably.

The gathering tonight would be the stage for a great show.

Lorraine nodded. "Got it. Don't worry." Then, she went back to her previous question. "Since you know Vania, why don't we try establishing a friendly relationship with her? She's the one who invested in this show, so if she can help you snag the female lead role, we'd have an easier time advancing locally."

Yvonne's face instantly fell. "I don't think I should repeat some things I've said."

She didn't want to pull any strings. If she did, she could just ask her family for support; she wouldn't need to beg Vania for help at all.

"Sorry." Realizing that she had made a mistake, Lorraine immediately apologized.

She wasn't quite sure of Yvonne's real identity, but she knew that the woman wasn't any commoner. Yvonne must have come from a prominent background, or Lorraine wouldn't have stayed with her all those years overseas either.

She could just manage any random celebrity locally, and she would earn enough to last her a few lifetimes.

When she thought about how the things she did today might have angered Yvonne, she immediately came clean about it. "I paid for news of your return to get it trending, and I promoted the articles as well. It's a way of setting you up for fame, you see."

As for buying her way into the trending page, Yvonne wasn't too bothered about that. "I believe in your abilities. Just don't overdo it."

Seeing that Yvonne wasn't mad, Lorraine became bolder and continued, "Interacting with fans is an important factor in the local market. You have to interact with your fans online more often so that you can gain popularity here."

"I'll comply."

The local market was another game with its own rules, so she naturally had to abide by them.

"Which character have you settled on for the local scene?" With proper characterization, Yvonne could attract even more fans.

"You should know that my goal is to get awards." Yvonne rejected the suggestion to come up with a character.

"Understood." Lorraine nodded.

Yvonne had her own thoughts and ideas. She still had a clear goal for entering the entertainment field. She loved acting, and she also wanted to win awards.

This was all because she wanted to attain a reputable identity that was on par with Hanson's, not because she came from the Kepler Family.

At that thought, she grew a little wary of Vania. With Vania's identity as Mia Stravinsky, she would be on par with Hanson according to public opinion.

Yvonne would have to quicken her plans to get an award.

"Yvonne, it's about time. Let's go to the venue." After looking at the time, Freya reminded her.

"Okay."

At the audition venue, preliminary preparations were complete. In ten minutes, the audition would start once all the contestants had arrived.

Vania and Hanson were already sitting at the jury seat, looking through the profiles of the contestants.

"We meet again, Miss Greyson." When Yvonne spoke, her tone was obviously different from before. It had a slightly challenging tone to it.

She wasn't surprised to see Vania at the jury seat. After all, the investor had the right to judge.

"I just got to know that you're an actress, Miss Kepler." With that, Vania waved Yvonne's audition papers in her hand. She smiled as she continued, "Since we're in the same field, we'll have even more chances to meet in the future. Thus, you don't have to be too surprised, Miss Kepler."

"Of course. However, if you wish to stay in this field for long, you have to possess real talent. You can't just do whatever you please simply because you're rich."
