Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!-Chapter 821: So Thorough It Hurts

Lily Innes's face turned pale, and her fingers clenched in her palm, making a crunching sound.

Slap!

Suddenly, a crisp sound of clapping echoed.

Lily's eyes widened. Her face tingled as her hair fell down, and the shock in her eyes had no time to fade as she stared blankly at Emily Stewart.

Emily clenched her fingers tightly, her eyes red and filled with anger, glaring at Lily.

She turned her head and strode toward Aurelia Shaw.

Everyone thought, with such momentum, she was going to settle accounts with Aurelia.

But to everyone's surprise, Emily stood before Aurelia and did nothing, just said calmly and respectfully, "Today, it was my agent's fault. I apologize on her behalf."

Oh? Aurelia raised an eyebrow, and after a moment of silence, she said softly, "You're too kind, Ms. Stewart. You are an industry veteran, and I understand some of the industry's rules. Even if you do have something to say to me, I would have no complaints. I've only been in this circle for a short time and have a lot to learn. I hope you can guide me in the future."

A hint of surprise flashed in Emily's eyes, and then she nodded calmly.

"Your acting…" As everyone walked out, Emily leaned close to Aurelia and said in a low voice, "It's excellent."

"Thank you," Aurelia replied with a smile.

After today's shoot, Aurelia was so exhausted she didn't want to move her arms, spread out in the nanny van, and let Amanda Fuller take her back to the hotel.

Amanda curiously asked her, "Aurelia, why didn't you pursue today's matter? The way Emily treated you today, and the fact that Lily used this method to give you a hard time, we have evidence from the nightclub. We could definitely use today's incident to deter them so they won't dare to trouble us in the future."

"And then?" Aurelia asked calmly, too tired to even lift her eyes.

"And then?"

Aurelia let out a breath, "And then, do we not want to continue in this circle? In the future, we will still encounter people like Emily. Does that mean we have to retaliate against each and every one, offending all the veterans in the circle?

My status can get me more resources, but in this circle, it doesn't matter whether you have money or not. They can completely nurture you into a well-off but useless person."

Amanda came to a sudden realization, and the next second her face blushed with shame. She had been Aurelia's agent for more than half a year now, yet she still hadn't thought as far ahead as Aurelia; she needed Aurelia to remind her.

Sometimes, she felt that Aurelia was too mature for her age.

She saw through many things and people too clearly.

So clearly that... it made people feel distressed.

With her eyes closed, Aurelia was indeed thinking about something else.

It was no wonder Emily seemed familiar. The year she died, Emily won the Golden Phoenix Best Actress award. That year, she was muddleheaded from drug use and knew little about the entertainment news, hence she had somewhat forgotten about Emily.

Aurelia squinted her eyes, a sly smile playing at the corners of her lips, murmuring, "Find an opportunity to lure Emily to the company."

"Huh? What did you say, Aurelia?" Amanda asked.

It seemed like she heard Aurelia mention luring someone?

...

The car stopped at the hotel.

Aurelia opened the hotel room, and as soon as she stepped in, her phone rang in her pocket.

She glanced at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows, her tone slightly rising, "I would really like to ask, what was going on with the video you sent to my film crew today?"

Her timing back to the hotel was so tight, just stepping in the door and the call came immediately after.
