Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 492: 492: Role Snatched

Anna Campbell was currently inside the director’s restroom of the film set.

The director asked eagerly, “Is Miss Campbell Mr. Flack’s sister?”

Anna gave a slight smile, neither confirming nor denying it, “Our Campbell family and the Flack family are close, and I’ve known Elijah Flack since we were young.”

The director understood immediately, even if Anna was not Elijah’s sister, she was still Miss Campbell of the well-respected Campbell family and was not someone they could afford to offend.

However, Elijah said that he would decide the role and would need to approve before anyone signed a contract with Anna. Miss Campbell, on the other hand, did not ask for any payment and even invested 10 million dollars to get the role of the male lead’s sister.

If he were to disagree, wouldn’t that be equivalent to rejecting 10 million dollars?

At that point, the producer walked in and whispered, “Elijah Flack mentioned during the contract signing that he had already chosen someone for this role. If we sign Anna Campbell instead… ”

The director persuaded, “Xaviera Evans has never acted before and has no fame. Anna Campbell is an A-class actress, who can bring in more profits for us? Think about it carefully!”

“But Xaviera Evans’ acting skills are really good, like a professional actor, even better than Anna Campbell. You’ve also seen the audition footage; everyone thinks she’s a good fit…”

As the two conversed quietly, Zoe Campbell suddenly shouted, “Xaviera Evans? Are you talking about Xaviera Evans?”

The director looked up, “Uh… she was the original actress chosen for this role.”

Zoe sneered, “She’s just a liar! She swindled money from both Anna and me. How can someone with absolutely no acting experience compete with my sister for roles? If she appears in this movie, it will be completely ruined! Anna Campbell is the box office queen. Are you going to choose a newcomer who will ruin the movie or my sister, Anna Campbell?”

Anna spoke softly, “Zoe.”

Then she graciously said, “I’ve never seen Xaviera Evans’ work. I don’t think she’s a professional actor. Without proper training, how can she perform well in a movie?… However, it doesn’t matter. If you’ve already decided on the role, let’s just move on. First come, first served after all.”

“Sister Anna, why should you give the role to that woman! You are the most suitable person for this role. What qualifications does she have to compete with you?”

The director hesitated for a moment, “Miss Campbell, I think you are more suitable for this role.”

Soon, Anna Campbell’s fans began posting online: Anna and Elijah Flack were shooting a film together, and she would play his sister, both on and off-screen, a powerful combination.

Yigol Mamet heard that Xaviera Evans was going to star in a movie and followed out of curiosity.

Once, Mr. Yigol Mamet himself had a dream of becoming a star when he was young. He even participated in an open audition, but because he only had a handsome face and no acting talent, he couldn’t sing or dance, and his acting was extremely awkward, so he eventually gave up.

However, he was still curious about the process of making a movie, so he decided to come and watch the shooting.

By now, Xaviera Evans had already memorized all the lines. It was not a difficult task for her, as she used to be a scriptwriter and had been involved in many productions. Although she would go to shooting sites to supervise, she would never show her face, and her name was a pseudonym.

Elijah Flack was very satisfied with her acting skills and thought she was the most suitable candidate, so her contract was signed, and the shooting was to begin today.

Xaviera had already finished her makeup and was wearing her costume, waiting, but she hadn’t heard anyone call her.

Suddenly, a sharp female voice came through.

“Who are you! Who allowed you into Anna Campbell’s makeup room?”

Xaviera and Yigol Mamet looked up to see three makeup artists rushing in aggressively, pushing Yigol aside and even shoving Xaviera. After clearing some space, they fawningly ushered Anna Campbell in.

“Miss Campbell, watch your step.”

Xaviera heard the murmurs outside the door.

“Anna Campbell is here too! Truly deserving of being called Miss Campbell, her aura is incomparable!”

“A wealthy family’s little princess! My goddess!”

Anna Campbell sat down elegantly in her chair, and the three makeup artists hurriedly approached, attentively helping her with her makeup, being extremely cautious as if they were afraid of hurting the princess.

Xaviera furrowed her brows. What was going on?

Just as Yigol Mamet was about to ask, one of the makeup artists pointed angrily at Xaviera.
