Chapter 18 " You're Yvette , right ? The director looked pleased , even speaking to her with a rare smile . Yvette returned the smile . " Yes . " [ ] The director nodded . " Not bad . Are you a doctor ? You didn't look like you were acting at all . " [ ] His words were clearly meant as a joke - Yvette was so young and pretty , looking more like a college student than anything else . [ ] That kind of commanding presence and professional charisma wasn't something a kid her age should naturally possess So he was convinced she was simply that good at acting . Yvette said nothing in response . [ ] Sometimes , silence was golden - she knew that well enough . Stella shot Yvette a venomous glare , then turned to the director to complain . " Director , it was supposed to be my turn just now , but she deliberately stole my spot . Shouldn't someone who hogs the spotlight , ignores the rules , and has such poor character be punished ? " Yvette raised an eyebrow . " Wasn't it you who cut in line ? It was supposed to be my turn , wasn't it ? By your logic , someone who hogs the spotlight , ignores the rules , and has such poor character would be … you . " [ ] Stella's face flushed and paled by turns , momentarily at a loss for words - because Yvette was right . ] " I … I didn't , " Stella muttered stubbornly . ] " Alright , stop wasting time . Next , " the director said impatiently . Reluctantly , Stella muttered , " Fine . " then threw Yvette one last glare before hurrying off to prepare .] ] Yvette strolled over to the other side , shrugged off her white coat , and tossed it into the nearby laundry basket . Suddenly , a sharp pain shot through her wrist . ] Royce had seized her by the wrist , his voice icy as he scolded , " How dare you steal Stella's spot ? You've got some n that cheap , that desperate for attention ? " ] Just then , someone walked over from the other side . " This way , Mr. Reed . The director's holding auditions here today , so it's a bit noisy . " But as they approached , they caught sight of the scene . [ ] The crew members nearby suddenly looked awkward . " Wait .. isn't that the young master of the Quinn family … " No way grabbing a female actor like that on set ? That was way out of line . nerve . Are y you Lucas Reed's eyes narrowed coldly at Yvette . He raised his hand slightly . At once , everyone around him fell silent . He leaned casually against the side , the corner of his lips curled into an amused smirk , as if he were watching a show . [ ] Yvette frowned , glancing down at the red marks on her wrist - then grabbed the water kettle beside her with her free hand and smashed it hard into Royce's face . Royce let out a cry of pain , instantly covering his face . The kettle clattered to the ground . A large red mark was already forming across his cheek , and blood was starting to drip from his temple . ] Most of the crew's attention was still on Stella's performance , so not many saw what happened- But the actors and staff nearby witnessed the whole thing They were too stunned to speak . ] Was this woman insane ? She'd actually hit Young Master Quinn ? ! [ ] " Yvette , are you crazy ?! " Royce stared at her in disbelief . " You dare lay a hand on me ? " Yvette flexed the hand he had grabbed earlier and spoke lazily . " Sorry - when a dog bites me , I get scared . " Royce touched his temple and , seeing his hand come away bloody , his face turned even colder . [ ] " You never should've been let out , " he said icily . " You're trying to make me interested in you again , aren't you ? Well , let me tell you - you not only picked the wrong method , but you're going to pay for it . "] Royce had once thought Yvette's downfall might have been because of him , and he'd felt a sliver of guilt . ]] But she was far too much . Pitiful people always have something hateful about them . ] Someone with no morals and no bottom line deserved to be punished . HOW
