Chapter 237
Perhaps it was the recent focus on Callista’s story that unsettled Aurora, or her inability to comprehend Callista’s supposed suicide due to depression.
Aurora frequently visited Cheryl’s place. Ms. Luce had nearly finished adapting the script, and the crew was ready. After a small ceremony, Dual Facades was officially announced.
The news immediately trended on social media, even making headlines in the entertainment and general news sections.
“Mr. Luce’s Posthumous Work Dual Facades Announces Production!”
‘His daughter Personally Revises the Script!”
Rising Star Cheryl Takes the Lead Role, Venturing onto the Big Screen!”
Suddenly, Dual Facades was the talk of the town, overshadowing even Daxton’s variety shows and Zane’s work updates. Cheryl remained a trending topic for two consecutive days.
Undoubtedly, Dual Facades was a highly anticipated project, with many hoping the book’s adaptation would bring more attention to the issue of depression in society.
Cheryl’s portrayals of characters like Yasmine and Belle showcased her profound acting skills, making her a prominent figure among the new generation of actresses celebrated for both talent and beauty. Countless fans eagerly awaited Cheryl’s big–screen debut.
Cheryl’s social media following surged as fans cheered her on daily, eagerly anticipating her first movie venture.
“Cheryl, keep it up!! I’ll be your fan forever!!”
*Suddenly, I’m so curious about how Cheryl will portray depression. The promotional photos and posters are unbeatable!”
“Isn’t anyone paying attention to Cheryl’s boss? I heard many major companies wanted these film rights, but surprisingly, a small studio got them…
“The comment above, what do you mean ‘small studio‘? Have you ever seen a small studio produce such a big–budget movie?”
*Is Cheryl aiming for Best Actress this year??”
‘Don’t stir up drama! Our Cheryl just wants to focus on filming, nothing else.”
“If Cheryl wins Best Actress, wouldn’t it be awkward for Zane? They’re from the same company, with the same resources…”
“Zane is unparalleled!”
While the buzz on social media is one thing, the chaotic mix of comments is another. Gradually, some began to speculate that Cheryl could be the next Best Actress, with Zane as Best Actor.
Aurora could easily guess that these hyped narratives, setting Cheryl and Zane against each other, were likely Evelyn’s handiwork.

Chapter 237
Initially, the internet was abuzz with praise and anticipation for Cheryl. However, the narrative began to shift as dissenting voices emerged.
“Cheryl for Best Actress? Isn’t that a bit ambitious for her age?”
“Evelyn hasn’t even talked about winning Best Actress, and it’s Cheryl’s turn?”
“How can you say that? Evelyn has plenty of work to her name. If she hasn’t won Best Actress, who’s to blame?”
‘From a neutral perspective, Cheryl’s rise has been too rapid. It’s a bit too arrogant.”
Before Aurora could react, Zane stirred the pot with a post: “Why vie for Best Actress when you can aim for Best Actor!”
Clearly, Zane’s post was a direct challenge to the trolls. His words quickly escalated the situation, with headlines like “Zane Aims for Best Actor‘ dominating the news.
Aurora felt a headache coming on, wishing she could storm the military camp and throttle Zane right there.
Weren’t phones supposed to be confiscated by the drill sergeant? Where did Zane get a phone to post on social media?
Now the whole internet believed Zane was ambitiously aiming for Best Actor. But Zane was still “meditating” in the military camp. Managing to portray Gideon without criticism was already a tall order, let alone winning Best Actor. Aurora found the whole scenario highly dubious.
Meanwhile, Cheryl remained unaffected. After the kickoff ceremony, she steadily began filming. Ms. Luce also joined the set to ensure the script would be smoothly executed.
With Cheryl busy filming and Ms. Luce on set, Aurora suddenly found herself with free time, thinking it was about time to pick up Zane.
However, observing Zane, Aurora realized he still hadn’t grasped the essence of camaraderie that Gideon’s character required. How could she make Zane truly understand Gideon’s pain and guilt, the regret of losing a comrade due to one’s limitations?
