Chapter 1048: 487 Consequence_3 Chapter 1048: 487 Consequence_3 Working herself to the bone in the entertainnt industry, she realized that it all just amounts to selling laughter.
Once age takes its toll, and beauty fades, one could only retreat from the spotlight in desolation.
She didn’t want such an ending.
She wanted to marry into a wealthy family, to achieve a class leap, and beco soone of high status.
The child in her womb was her weapon now.
Perhaps it was the heightened hormones during pregnancy, but Bella White found her temper flaring.
She didn’t feel like biting her tongue anymore.
...
If she didn’t like sothing, she’d confront it head-on.
Would the future Madam Dankworth be afraid of a little girl from Pethkids?
Ridiculous.
She wasn’t worried Marcellus Dankworth couldn’t handle Aubree Groove.
The Dankworths were one of the four wealthiest families in Pethkids.
And even if Marcellus was only a side branch of the Dankworth family, with their support, they had more than enough power to deal with any wealthy family in a small place like Pethkids.
No matter how powerful the Rintos were in Pethkids, they could not extend their influence to Lostswa.
At that mont, the director’s assistant called from outside the door: “Ms.
Hayes, it’s ti for your rehearsal.
Please get ready.”
——
Aubree Groove arrived backstage hand-in-hand with Jordan Robinson.
Verine Hayes walked over slowly, her head bowed to her chest, not daring to look directly at Aubree Groove.
The surgery fees for Jai and Xenia Groove were fully covered by Aubree Groove’s foundation.
Suffice to say, she was the savior of their lives.
However, Xenia Groove repaid kindness with ingratitude, Verine Hayes felt too ashad to face Aubree Groove.
“Where are you guys staying?” Aubree Groove asked softly.
Verine Hayes was taken aback for a mont, then quickly replied, “In the hotel across the street.
The conditions are quite good; it has air conditioning and hot water.
Jai and I are honored to be participating in the Spring Festival Gala.
I don’t know how to express our gratitude.
The matter with Xenia, I want to apologize on her behalf, she has been punished.”
As Jordan was next to her, she didn’t elaborate too much.
Aubree Groove nodded and patted Jordan’s head, “Call if you need anything.”
Aubree Groove didn’t stay long.
The rehearsal went well.
After the final full rehearsal tomorrow, the official recording would begin the day after, and the live broadcast would start at eight o’clock in the evening.
Aubree Groove had only just left when Director Bartholow received a phone call.
“What?
You want to replace Aubree Groove?
Who should I replace her with, go ahead, pick soone.”
The other party hesitated, then suggested, “How about Vivian Hayes?
She also does charity work but doesn’t publicize it, the public just doesn’t know about it.
If it’s okay, I can imdiately find more than a dozen children she has sponsored.”
With a aningful glance at Vivian Hayes, who was touching up her makeup, Director Bartholow asked his question.
Vivian Hayes seed to sense sothing, and looked up to see Director Bartholow looking at her and smiled, nodding her head.
Director Bartholow rolled his eyes, annoyed.
“Impossible, give up on that idea.”
“Ellington Bartholow, I’m not seeking your approval, I’m informing you.
You’re just a director; you have enough on your plate already.
Leave the guest matters to .
Imdiately replace that Aubree Groove, or you can forget about being the director,” the other party stated, and then hung up directly.
Ellington Bartholow held his throbbing head, rubbing his eyebrows while his assistant watched nervously from the side, “Director, what’s going on?”
“If they want to replace soone, let them start with .”
The assistant was filled with fear.
“Director…”
Ellington Bartholow suddenly laughed, looking at Vivian Hayes who had already taken the stage.
It wasn’t Vivian Hayes’s first rehearsal.
She was scheduled to sing a duet with a singer, but the singer had a family ergency and requested a leave, so during this rehearsal, Vivian Hayes was on her own.

The accompanint started, and Vivian Hayes had just sung one line when Ellington Bartholow ordered to stop through a loudspeaker.
Everyone on site was stunned.
No matter how poorly a performance was going, out of respect for the perforr, Director Bartholow would always let it finish before pointing out any deficiencies.
It was his first ti ordering a stop.
Vivian Hayes’s expression stiffened.
She stared at everyone’s mixed reactions and asked with a smile, “Director Bartholow, what’s the matter?
Did I not sing well?”
Ellington Bartholow shook his head.
“This song isn’t a good fit for you.”
Vivian Hayes was taken aback.
She didn’t expect the director to openly confront her.
She’d just seen him on the phone earlier and could guess most of the conversation.
Now Director Bartholow was choosing to make things difficult for her.
Had this woman lost her mind?
She’d chosen the worst possible course of action.
Vivian Hayes walked a few steps closer, lowering her voice.
“Are you intentionally picking a fight with , director?
Think carefully about the consequences of doing so.”
Ellington Bartholow arched an eyebrow and offered a smirking laugh, “You’re the first person who dares to threaten .
I admire your gall.”
“I already felt bad squeezing another perforr into the solo ant for Singer Zhang.
This works out just fine; you can be taken out of the program.”
Ellington Bartholow picked up a pen and crossed out Vivian Hayes’s na from the performance lineup.
Vivian Hayes’s gaze darkened abruptly.
