My Domineering CEO Husband

Lottie frowned. Why was Luke so confident that she would still help Isobel at this time?

“Lottie.”

Luke took Isobel’s hand and walked up to her. He took out a card and handed it to her. “After all, you are an actress now. You should dress decently when you attend some official occasions.”

“There are twenty thousand dollars in the card. Take it. As long as you help Isobel get this role today, I will give you more.”

Lottie looked at the card in Luke’s hand and smiled. “Do you think that as Ralph Chapman’s wife, I will be short of twenty thousand dollars?”

“You are indeed Ralph’s wife.”

Isobel sneered. She looked at Lottie and said contemptuously. “But is Mr. Chapman willing to spend money on you?”

“Look at you, which one of your clothes is worth more than two hundred dollars?”

“So poor you are!”

Lottie squinted her eyes.

After marrying Ralph, she had never asked for money from him.

The housekeeper had tried several times to pay for her grocery shopping, but she refused.

She married Ralph not because of his money or to enjoy the life of a rich woman.

Unexpectedly, it became a reason why Isobel despised her.

The woman curled her lips and glanced coldly at Isobel’s clothes.

“You get a nice outfit today.”

“Did Luke buy it for you?”

Coincidentally, although what Isobel wore today seemed to be expensive, but…

She had seen this outfit before.

When she took photos of Isobel and Mr. Watts at the seaside of Caknard, she saw her wearing this outfit.

Connie Houghton had said before that Luke had almost lost all his assets after Isobel plotted against her last time. Now, he was hard up.

Isobel frowned and snorted. “Of course!”

Lottie’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Luke is indeed generous to you. It at least cost forty thousand dollars, right?”

Isobel raised her head proudly. “Of course.”

“Do you think Luke will treat me the same way he treated you back then?”

Lottie still smiled neither humble nor pert. “But how can I remember that this bag in your hand… Its store does not exist in Rexwell. There is one in Caknard, isn’t it?”

“This bag is a new arrival launched last month.”

As she spoke, she looked up at Isobel. “So, have you been to Caknard recently?”

Isobel’s face suddenly turned pale!

Indeed, she had gone to the Marine Park in Caknard with Mr. Watts a few days ago, but she didn’t tell Luke!

Now that Lottie had pointed it out, she felt a little embarrassed. “I’ve never been there before!”

Isobel rolled her eyes. “My friend in Caknard bought it for me.”

“Do you have friends in Caknard?”

After all, she had been Isobel’s best friend for six years. She knew exactly what relatives and friends Isobel had.

Her words made Luke frown. “Yes, Isobel, when did you have friends in Caknard?”

“I…”

Isobel avoided Luke’s gaze. In the end, she simply snatched the bank card from Luke’s hand. “It’s fine if you don’t want the money we gave you, but don’t bother in how I get this bag, ok?”

After that, she pulled Luke into the building of the Thunder Pictures. “Let’s go.”

Luke stopped reluctantly. “But Isobel… what about the audition later…”

He knew very well that it was impossible for Isobel to get the role of the heroine of “Azeroath” according to her acting skills.

“I can get it!”

Isobel was full of confidence. “Just wait and see.”

“Without Lottie, I’ll still be able to get the role of the heroine this time!”

Mr. Watts had already promised her that as long as she was willing to accompany him to outing once a month, she would always be the heroine of his film in the future!

Today’s audition was just a formality. No matter how hard others tried, she was the only winner!

Luke hesitated for a moment before turning around to look at Lottie. In the end, he shook his head and followed Isobel in.

Lottie stood there and looked at Isobel’s back, sneering.

…

At nine o’clock in the morning.

The audition began on time.

Lottie, Isobel, and a few leading actresses were arranged to stay in a small reception room.

The staff of the Thunder Pictures sent each of them some short chapters of script to perform according to.

When she distributed the scripts, Lottie found that one of the five pieces of script was folded.

She guessed that the folded script should be given to Isobel.

It seemed that Isobel and Mr. Watts, who were not stupid, had prepared in advance.

“Excuse me, I want to change the script.”

When the staff sent the script to her, she grabbed the script in her hand and said, “I think the script should be chosen by ourselves.”

“What do you think?”

Isobel rolled her eyes. “Who cares about your thoughts?”

“I even think I should be the heroine. Just follow the arrangement!”

After that, she looked at Lottie with a mocking smile. “Well, you’re afraid that you can’t perform well and start to fool around?”

“I thought you could really get this role.”

An actress quickly smiled in agreement. “That’s right. She was just a stand-in. Though she became an actress now, how could she even want to play the heroine? Grandiose aims, puny abilities.”

Lottie squinted and didn’t say anything, but her fingers were still holding onto the script in the staff’s hand, refusing to let go.

“Miss, please don’t mess around.”

The staff rolled her eyes at her and pulled out the rest of the script from her hand with all her might before continuing to distribute it.

After she left, Lottie smiled and leant against the chair in another comfortable posture, ready to watch the show.

Next was Isobel.

After the staff exchanged glances with Isobel, she prepared to send the script with a mark to her.

But when she lowered her head, she found…

the remaining four scripts in her hands were all folded!

The staff panicked.

Isobel was still unclear and kept urging her to give her the script.

“Hurry up, I’m in a hurry to prepare.”

She had practiced her script countless times in front of Mr. Watts last night. There was no mistake.

The staff was so anxious that she were sweating.

And she couldn’t stand being urged by Isobel and the people behind her.

In the end, she had to pick a random one and handed it to Isobel.

“Well, I’ll be the heroine definitely!”

But she was instantly dumbfounded when opening the script smugly.

… How could it be different from the plan?Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
