Rex did not say anything else. In the end, he lowered his head and quietly said to Scarlett, “I’m sorry.”

His voice sounded heavy and helpless.

Scarlett simply nodded.

Oliver spoke again. “Ms. Sanchez, we apologize once more. We’ll take our leave now.”

“Alright,” Scarlett replied. She watched Oliver and Rex walk away.

After they left, Scarlett turned and went back into the villa.

She had a rough idea why Rex came.

Departments like theirs often handled strange and secret missions. Sometimes the tasks were so unusual that no one else could deal with them.

Rex probably wanted her help with something like that.

But Scarlett had no plans to get involved.

Those special units worked directly for the government. If even the government had no solution, there was a good chance she wouldn’t have one either.

Back inside the villa, Scarlett returned to her training.

She practiced until evening, then ate dinner and checked her phone.

That was when she noticed something. The production team of “The Ancestor” had tagged her on Instagram.

The Ancestor Official Account. “@Scarlett Sz We’re honored to welcome this talented actress to join us. She will be playing the role of Princess Mona. We look forward to seeing her join the production soon.”

Calvert liked to announce casting decisions as soon as they were finalized. Whenever an actor was confirmed for a role, the production team would post it online.

Scarlett scrolled through the account. Several actors had already been announced.

One post revealed that Willard would play the male lead during his middle and older aged,

Right above Scarlett’s post was another announcement. It said that Yvonne would play the queen during her middle and old aged,

That post was filled with excited comments from Yvonne’s fans.

They were thrilled.

Many fans were also asking how Yvonne had been doing.

However, Yvonne had never fully explained her situation to the public.

She had only said that she stepped away from acting for six years because of health problems. She spent that time resting and recovering. Now that she felt better, she decided to return to acting.

Scarlett kept scrolling. Then she looked at the comments under the post announcing her role.

Her fans were cheering loudly. But the rest of the comments were full of criticism.

[Scarlett is amazing! She’s playing Princess Mona! The real Princess Mona was known for her beauty, and Scarlett fits the role perfectly. I can’t wait to see the official photos!]

Before a movie or TV show airs, the crew usually releases promotional photos to attract attention.

[Wow! Scarlett is incredible! She’s beautiful, smart, strong, knows psychic reading, and now we know she can act too! The director must have seen her talent. I heard dozens of actresses auditioned for Princess Mona. Congratulations to Scarlett for standing out!]

[I knew it! When rumors said Scarlett was auditioning for this show, I guessed she might try for Princess Mona. She really fits the role. So happy she got it!]

But not everyone agreed. [Seriously? Your fan filter is way too strong. Sure, she’s smart. She knows a little occult stuff, and she can fight. But acting? She’s never acted before. Other than a music video three years ago, she has zero experience. And even in that video, she just relied on her looks. She was about fifteen then and still had that cute baby face. Back then I didn’t even want to criticize her when scandals came out. Now I’m just neutral about her.]

[Why is she playing Princess Mona? What is the production team thinking? What is director doing? Someone already leaked that Scarlett didn’t even audition! She showed up, greeted Yvonne, then went straight into the director’s office with her. She didn’t audition that afternoon at all. And now suddenly you announce she’s Princess Mona? Was this pre–decided? If you were going to pre–select her, then just do it openly. Why ask other actresses to audition? Isn’t that disrespectful to them?]

[If you were going to pre–select someone, then just say so from the start! Why call other actresses in for auditions if the role was already decided? Are you just playing with people? Is that fun to you? Also, is this because she’s popular right now? Didn’t she make things difficult for Lavender on set too?]

[Yeah! Why pick on our Lavender? Scarlett bullied her two and a half years ago when Lavender was still a rookie. And now at the audition she bullied her again. She even tried to slap Lavender and said really awful things. She also accused Lavender of cursing her mother back then. Does Scarlett really think that just because she’s popular right now, she can bully Lavender whenever she wants?]

[Why her? This is Princess Mona! She’s someone with no acting experience at all, Why give the role to her in advance? I disagree! The production team should replace her immediately. Don’t ruin such a highly anticipated historical drama because of one person!]

Many of the angry commenters were fans of the real historical Princess Mona,

When people admire a historical figure, they often worry that an actor might ruin the role.

And Scarlett had never acted before.

On top of that, during the audition earlier that day, Scarlett had sharply shut down Lavender when
