Chapter 870: Chapter 869: The New Script

"What?" Judy Zimmerman was taken aback, "She’s already stopped you at the entrance of the community? Didn’t cause any trouble, did she?"

"No, she came just to apologize for the previous matter." Bella Acker’s expression was somewhat indifferent, "You can clearly see who’s close and who’s distant in just a few words."

Judy understood the implication right away, "Bella, in that case, we won’t pay her any heed in the future either. She just gave birth to you; we can’t let some blood connection hold us hostage like this."

"She’s actually trying to make amends, and she didn’t intend to cause me any trouble. It’s just that she didn’t expect her current daughter to be so provoked, and didn’t expect that when something really happened, her first inclination would be towards her current daughter." Bella smiled faintly, "It’s understandable though. If it were me, I’d certainly feel more guilt than closeness towards a daughter like me. Let’s not talk about it, let’s go."

"Alright. Oh, by the way, Bella, I saw she still came with a man. Can you guess who that man is?" Judy started the car, reversed, and turned as she spoke.

"Pfft, since you’ve asked like that, do I even need to guess? It’s probably the head of the Caldwell Family or something." Bella turned her head to look out the car window, not particularly interested in Aunt Rhodes’ current life.

"Exactly." Judy said, turning the steering wheel, "The two of them didn’t seem to have a good relationship, their faces were black the whole time."

Bella replied indifferently and was just about to look away when she saw Aunt Rhodes coming out of the community with a man, accompanied by someone who looked like an intermediary.

The man walking beside Aunt Rhodes?

Bella frowned, wasn’t that man the one in Rhonda’s photo?

So Rhonda’s boyfriend is Aunt Rhodes’ current husband?

Judy had already maneuvered the car out, got onto the main road, and seeing Bella frown, casually asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Bella shook her head, changed the topic, "Besides the promotional recording today, is there anything else?"

"Hmm. It seems Ms. Young is interested in a script, planning to arrange a meeting with the director for you. Oh by the way, the director of the new script is Director Ford."

"Director Ford’s project?" Bella was surprised, "I hadn’t heard Director Ford was planning anything new."

"Hmm, it seems they just got hold of the script, and we’re the first ones to know." Judy nodded, "Ms. Young is trying to get you the leading role, but everyone knows Director Ford’s temper in the industry. If your acting isn’t up to his standards, he won’t use you no matter how famous you are."

Bella laughed, "What’s the script about?"

Cynthia Young had already laid out plans for her acting career, even though the beginning years were focused on producing volume and accumulating popularity, she wouldn’t choose scripts carelessly. Since it’s something Cynthia Young personally sought for her, it must be a good script.

"It’s an immortal fantasy drama," Judy said, "Domestic IP dramas are popular now, and there are quite a few immortal fantasy dramas. However, in the past, they mostly focused on the male lead, with female actresses just as supporting roles. But the script Ms. Young is vying for is entirely a strong female drama, centering on a female lead, with a character that is resilient, strong, not overly saintly but still kind, a particularly positive and pleasing role."

Bella nodded, "No wonder Ms. Young rushed to get first dibs on it."

"Exactly, Ms. Young knows your relationship with Director Ford is good, so there’s a big chance. But this time, quite a few people are competing for the female lead. We still need to prepare a lot. Oh, and besides Sue Blaine, whom you’ve worked with before, Rhonda is also in the running."
