Only her sad cries could be heard.
All along, Layla has lived under the applause and praise of the people around her.
Layla was very smart and could learn everything in one go, she had not suffered many setbacks.
Regarding acting, she also often heard people say she has talent.
This is not the first time she has acted. She has performed well in the past and also in crying scenes, but this time, let her express her hatred and resentment for the role of ‘mother’, she can’t take the role.
She has never encountered such setbacks in the past few years.
She felt that she might not be able to complete this job, because what she loved the most was her mother, even if she knew it was a play or a fake, she couldn’t act it.
Thinking that if she gave up halfway, she would fail Uncle Eric’s care and make others laugh, making her heart even more uncomfortable.
“Layla, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean to say you’re bad at acting… well, I probably did say something like that, but I said something else later…I was also a child star, and my acting skills were far worse than yours now.” Frida didn’t expect that a word she accidentally made would make Layla ‘strike’.
Frida worries about the progress of her work. Because Layla was upset, Eric stayed with Layla all the time, and they couldn’t continue filming their rival scenes.
At the same time, she was also worried that Elyette knew about it.
Layla is the apple of Elyette’s palm, and no one knows about it.
If it weren’t for this relationship, she would have publicly rebuked Layla for being unprofessional and poor in her acting skills, instead of privately complaining.
“Go away!” Eric turned his head and said to Frida.
Frida looked embarrassed and was taken away by her agent.
Not long after, Elyette arrived.
He pulled Eric, who was squatting beside Layla, away, and then said to Layla, “Layla, dad is here. Dad will take you home.”
Layla immediately raised her head when she heard dad’s voice.
Her crying scarlet and swollen eyes caught Elyette’s line of sight.
Elyette was very distressed. He never wanted Layla to enter the entertainment circle where the dragon and fish were mixed. It was Averie who said to respect the child’s wishes, so he let Layla follow Eric until now.
If Elyette could choose again, he would never let Layla enter the entertainment industry.
“I want mom.” Layla choked and said this, “I don’t want you.”
Elyette’s throat rolled, feeling a little uncomfortable.
But now his daughter was more uncomfortable, he could only follow her daughter’s request and contact Averie.
“Layla, I’ve already called your mother! She said she’ll be here soon!” Eric’s agent immediately spoke to Layla when he heard Layla’s request.
Hearing this, Elyette stood up immediately.
“Who is Frida?” Elyette asked the agent.
Eric’s agent coughed awkwardly, trying to pretend that he hadn’t made a snitch.
He can’t point to Frida’s face and say, this is Frida, she is the one who made your daughter cry.
How will we meet again after this?
Seeing that Frida couldn’t escape, she could only walk in front of Elyette and sincerely admit her mistake: “Mr. Foster, I’m sorry, it was me who talked about your daughter behind her back, causing your daughter to be sad… I’ve already apologized to Layla, I can go and apologize to her again.”
“Since it’s useless for you to apologize to her, let’s try another way.” Elyette’s voice was indifferent, “If my daughter can’t calm down tonight, you won’t want to hang out in the entertainment industry in the future.”
Frida was so frightened, she slapped herself in the face with a ‘pop’!
“I was wrong! I knew I was wrong!” Frida said, raising her hand again and slapping her face on the other side, “Layla! I’m sorry! I’ll never talk again! I really know wrong!”
…
When Averie came, the scene was full of chaos.
Averie saw a well-known actress sitting in a chair crying, and under the white aperture, she could see the tears in the eyes of the actress.
A doctor was applying ointment to the actress’s face.
Elyette and Layla were on the other side.
Layla didn’t cry, but she looked sullen.
Averie strode up to her daughter and held her daughter’s hands.
“Layla, your eyes are swollen from crying.” Averie said in pain, “Why didn’t you call mom earlier? After mom returned to Aryadelle, she told Uncle Eric, should Uncle Eric tell you?”
“Mom, hug me.” Layla threw herself into her mother’s arms, “Mom, I can’t act that scene well… I tried many times and couldn’t act it.”
“It’s not that you can’t act well, it must be the method.” Averie encouraged.
Elyette’s eyes looked at Averie for a moment.
After an absence of nearly three years, Averie looked more mature than before.
It may be because she had long hair, and the ends of her hair were permed in waves.
“Take Layla home first.” Elyette saw that Averie seemed to be teaching Layla how to enter the role, so he said, “Don’t you want Layla to continue filming?”
“Why not?” Hearing Elyette voice, Averie looked up, “My daughter didn’t say she wanted to give up.”
Their eyes met, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly rubbed in the air.
Because this was a set, there were people all around.
So the two of them didn’t speak very loudly, and they wouldn’t quarrel in front of their daughter.
“Daughter can’t act in that scene. Didn’t you see that she has collapsed?” Elyette had a chat with the director just now, and the director told him that if Layla had to act, the screenwriter could change the script for Layla.
For the sake of his daughter, Elyette can of course ask the director to do this. But he didn’t think it was necessary.
He didn’t want Layla to take this path in the future, and secondly, his daughter might not be suitable for this line of work.
“I said it just now, maybe the method is wrong.” Averie argued with him rationally, “Whether to continue, it’s up to my daughter. Not yours.”
If Layla wanted to leave, Layla would have left long ago.
Since Layla is still here, it means that Layla doesn’t want to give up.
“Layla, tell your mother, do you want to give up filming? You can answer your mother after you have made up your mind.” Averie asked, looking at her daughter’s little face.
“Mom, I don’t want to give up…but I don’t know how to do it well…” Layla murmured, “That aunt said I wasn’t good at acting, I want to act well…”
“Well, mom knows that you definitely want to act well.” Averie already knew the main reason for Layla’s collapse on the phone, “Tell mom, who do you hate the most?”
Layla lowered her eyes, After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, “I…I hate dad the most…”
Although Elyette was present, Layla bravely said the answer.
She blamed her father for the departure of her mother and brother.
“Then imagine your mother’s role in the play as your father.” Averie bit the bullet and tried to figure out a way with his daughter, “Your uncle Eric is in the play, marrying other women, and having children, does not mean that he is in reality. I really want to marry that actress. Your bad relationship with your mother in the play will not affect your good relationship with your mother in reality.”
“Layla, your mother is right. You can play the role of mother in the play, Imagine being your father.” Eric echoed, “I believe you can play well.”
Elyette stood beside Eric, like a walking dead.
First, he was stabbed by his daughter, and then by Averie, and now even Eric’s little white face has bullied him! How ridiculous!
“Then I’ll try again!” Layla took a deep breath and stood up from her chair.
The staff immediately took Layla to touch up makeup.
The place suddenly became busy.
Averie is going to go to the filming of Layla with Eric.
Elyette blocked her way.
His sturdy body was an unavoidable wall of flesh.
