Chapter 234
Brittany frowned as she quickly turned to check who it was. However, all she saw were perfectly made–up faces, unable to figure out who had laughed.
Embarrassed, she turned back and awkwardly looked at Lauren. “I’m an actress, but I don’t have many noteworthy works yet. I’m still working hard.”
Lauren didn’t care much about Brittany’s profession. She was only using them to get closer to Paisley.
“That’s nice,” Lauren said perfunctorily. “I know a few directors. If they have any projects in the future and a suitable role, I’ll recommend you
Lauren was just brushing her off. “In the future” meant it could take forever. “If meant it probably wouldn’t happen.
But Brittany didn’t notice and excitedly dreamed of starring in big productions one day. When she made it big in the entertainment world, she’d give Paisley a taste of her own medicine.
Christina, on the other hand, caught Lauren’s dismissive tone but didn’t care. After all, her target today wasn’t the Vanderbilt family,
From the last wives‘ gathering, she learned that the Beaumont family had a younger son who was still single. Although he didn’t have the best reputation, he was still a Beaumont.
If Brittany could catch Diana’s attention and be introduced to her youngest son, she might have the chance to join the Beaumont family in the future. In Harrowfell, the Beaumont family’s reputation was no less impressive than the Vanderbilt family’s
The more Christina thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. She looked at Diana with increasing enthusiasm, eager to show off Brittany’s virtues.
“Oh, my Brittany has such a sweet personality! She’s been excellent in her studies since childhood and during college-
Diana had no patience to listen to Christina ramble on about Brittany. Smiling, she interrupted her mid–sentence. “Why did you only bring one daughter today? Where’s your other one?”
“My other daughter–Christina paused for a moment.
“Where is Ms. Paisley Sutton?” Diana asked directly.
Christina’s face stiffened. Now she understood why these ladies were suddenly being so nice to her–it must be because she had previously claimed to be Paisley’s mother.
She had only done that to impress the gatekeeper. But now, she just wanted Brittany to shine and had no intention of mentioning Paisley. But Diana had the nerve to refer to Paisley with so much respect. Wasn’t she just a screenwriter?
Brittany’s smile faltered for a moment. Why couldn’t she escape Paisley’s shadow no matter where she went?
“Oh, Paisy’s got a bad temper. She’s always arguing with me. As her mother, I have to put up with her attitude all the time. Brittany, on the other hand, is my sweet and caring daughter”
To highlight Brittany, Christina didn’t hesitate to badmouth Paisley. “And honestly, Paisley’s nothing special. Just a mere screenwriter. She doesn’t deserve to be respected by someone as esteemed as you, Diana.”
Diana’s smile faded slightly as she seemed to realize something. “Paisley is also the renowned painter, Ms. Vaire. Didn’t you know?”
Christina froze, then immediately denied it. “You must be joking, Diana. She’s no painter. She’s just a screenwriter who goes by the pen name Nion V-”
