Chapter 16 Sheila Was Scheming
Chapter 16 Sheila Was Scheming
At that time, Sheila didn't want Eva to take away her limelight. She tried her best to explain it clearly.
However, those people thought that Eva was Morgan's biological daughter and kept sucking up to Eva.
Her former good friends also quickly ran to Eva's side.
Thinking of these past events, Sheila was so angry that her nose was almost crooked. She forced
herself to calm down and squeezed to Eva's side with a fake smile.
"Miss Sommers, I wonder if you knew this newcomer before?" Some reporters who were sensitive to All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
drama immediately began to ask Sheila questions.
"Of course we know each other. Eva and I have the same agent." Sheila covered her mouth and
giggled.
"Then you must know Eva very well. Can we talk about Eva?"
Sheila thought for a second before she replied, "Of course. Eva is actually not a newcomer. We
debuted together, but she didn't make it before. I was very surprised to see her in the cast this time."
Sheila talked in a soft voice and she looked like a sweetheart, but her words were an innuendo. These
smart reporters also got her hint and would definitely make up nonsense when they went back.
"Why didn't Eva come out?" HYJAK Daily's reporter immediately asked.
Gemma was a little anxious when she saw that Eva had been surrounded by the crowd the moment
she appeared. However, this topic was directed at Sheila, and it would not be appropriate for her to
rush forward and answer.
Mel also wanted to see how Eva, who was sharp-tongued at the audition, would reply to the reporters,
so he just let it be.
Sheila smiled proudly. This was the effect she wanted, so she took the initiative to answer for Eva, "Eva
wasn't very capable before, right? She has been playing some insignificant roles all this time, but she's
doing so good now. You must not underestimate her. I feel like I'm not a match for her anymore."
When Sheila said this, Gemma became even more anxious. She wanted to pounce forward and slap
Sheila in the face. If it weren't for her boyfriend Brody Gallagher and the Sommers family, she wouldn't
have gotten this role as the female lead! But now she was shamelessly hinting that Eva's acting was
not good. Who gave her the guts?
Moreover, because Sheila's public persona had always been that of an "adorable little princess", most
of her fans were male fans. Being incited by Sheila's words in the interview, it was inevitable that they
would troll on Eva. What a trick she played here. She first criticized Eva for her bad acting skills, and
then pretended to praise Eva with an aim to let the fans attack her.
After fighting with Sheila for so many years, Eva naturally knew Sheila's tricks. She waited for her to
finish speaking before saying unhurriedly, "I played many roles before, and you might not be able to
find me on the screen. But it doesn't matter. You will know after watching 'Rose in the Wind'."
"Are your acting skills really better than Rebecca Franklin and Sheila Sommers?"
"You need to watch our drama to find the answer. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand
people's eyes. All I can do is to do my best in every scene and not let the director regret that he has
chosen me." Eva responded.
Mel really liked the actor who was smart enough and didn't get into trouble like Eva. As the director, he
knew exactly why Sheila was in the cast. He was annoyed when he saw Sheila causing trouble.
Mel snapped, "When have I picked the wrong person? You're really asking the wrong questions. Why
don't you go back and study for two more years?"
Eva did not expect Mel to be so blunt in refuting the reporters. She looked at him in surprise.
The reporters were also confused by Mel. Why did the director suddenly blow his stack?
Fortunately, this episode passed very quickly. The press conference continued to proceed in an orderly
manner. Sheila still wanted to make a move, but Eva did not take it. It was as if her fist had hit the
cotton, making her feel powerless.
Eva knew well enough about Sheila's evil mind. From the moment she returned to the Sommers family,
she knew clearly how hostile Sheila was to her. In the past, she was silly and would bother to fight with
her. However, the final result would always be that she was punished by Morgan.
Therefore, Eva had already learned how to deal with Sheila cleverly. She deliberately ignored her,
leaving her to hold her tongue and sulk alone.
Before the press conference ended, the video of Eva being interviewed was posted online.
There was a lot of scolding on Weibo. Some of them were Rebecca's fans who were turning a blind eye
and accusing Eva. Some of them were Sheila's knight fans who were not satisfied with Eva's reaction.
Their beloved idol had praised her so much, but she still had a cold face! How famous did she think she
was? She looked like a vixen, and it was obvious that she had a sugar daddy!
Occasionally, there were a few book fans who came over. When they saw Gemma's words and Eva's
appearance, they argued with Rebecca's fans. They had the same opinion as Gemma. Eva was
Princess Jayde herself, and Rebecca was the one who had the face of a prostitute.
However, Eva was not clear about all of this. As soon as the press conference ended, Mel brought
everyone to gather for a meal. They would start filming soon. When the time came, it would be
awkward if the male and female leads were not familiar with each other.
They toasted each other. The dishes had not been eaten, but the wine had been drunk quite a bit.
Eva felt that if she continued to drink, it would be evening. She was a little dazed.
"I want to ride with you on one horse..."
Eva's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and found that it was an unfamiliar number. She did
not intend to pick it up.
"Eva, you're quite busy. Just pick it up. If it is your sugar daddy, didn't you offend him?" Sheila had
sharp eyes and saw it at a glance. She said speculatively.
Gemma could tell that Sheila disliked Eva and tried to screw her. Previously, she had spoken nonsense
in front of the media. Now that the media was gone, she was even more foul-mouthed.
"Miss Sommers is very experienced in dealing with sugar daddies," Gemma chimed in.
In such a short time, the phone had rung several times. Eva thought for a moment and picked it up.
"Hello." Eva said.
"Eva Sommers, where are you?"
Caleb's hoarse voice passed through the electric current to Eva's ears. Eva felt that her ears were
going to get pregnant. Every time she saw Caleb, she would discover a new virtue in him. He probably
was flawless!
"Mr. Livingstone?"
"Where are you?" Caleb had been slightly impatient, and his voice was raised.
Eva subconsciously replied, "I’m still in Westin Hotel."
"Wait for me." Caleb hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Why did she wait for him?
Eva was confused. Why was it like guessing riddles when talking to Mr. Livingstone? He always said
something that she could not understand.
