Chapter 689
Bogus Billionaire
In the assistantâs message, someone claiming to be Yvonneâs sister shared that she had an idea to help Yvonne accept her relationship with Marietta.
Without giving it a second thought, Marietta immediately called her assistant. âWhere is she?â
âSheâs at a cafe in Orchid Avenue right now,â the assistant answered. âYou can directly meet her there.â
Marietta hung up. She rushed to hail a cab and headed straight for the cafe.
It didnât take long for her to reach her destination. It was pretty close to where Marietta was before. She suspected that the woman knew of her whereabouts and deliberately chose this place.
As soon as she stepped into the cafe, Marietta saw Aurora sitting at a table. She instantly knew that her suspicions proved to be right.
âYou were the one who messaged my assistant, right?â Marietta took a seat before Aurora, who was wearing a small smile.
Aurora spoke respectfully to Marietta. âYes, Ms. Weiss. I heard about the problem youâre facing. It never occurred to me that my sisterâinâlaw is your biological daughter. Fate truly works in mysterious ways.â
Marietta wasnât in the mood to listen to her nonsense. âLetâs get straight to the point. Do you really have a way to get my daughter to accept our relationship? Donât tell me itâs going to be by force.â She knitted her brows, looking all grim and serious. âI wonât agree to it.â
âDonât worry, I wonât hurt her,â Aurora said. âIâll ensure that she willingly returns to your side.â
Marietta didnât buy it. She refused to believe such a miracle would actually happen. She had seen for herself how Yvonne reacted on that very day.
âAre you sure you can do it? What do you want as a reward if you succeed?â
Aurora was stunned by Mariettaâs straightforwardness. A moment later, she said, âTâthatâs not what I meant. I want to help simply because I want to be your friend. I have no other intentions.â
Marietta let out a bark of laughter. âStop trying to pull my strings and just tell me what you want. An opportunity like this will never return.â
Hearing this, Aurora dropped the act. Beating around the bush could piss Marietta off, losing her chance once and for all.
âI. I want a place in your scripts. It would be best if you could give me the role of the leading-â Aurora swallowed her words mid sentence when she noticed the change in expression on Marietta silently pondered the idea for some time before telling her, âI do have a script that I intend to use for the collaboration with SY Group. However, things arenât set in stone yet.â
âItâll take about two days for me to get the contract signed.â She continued, âIf you trust me, I can give you the role of the second female lead once thatâs done.â
âBut thereâs something you should keep in mind,â she added as she stared into Auroraâs eyes. âI might be able to hand you the role, but itâs none of my business if your acting sucks and the director dislikes you.â
The script that she was referring to was one that she had put a lot of effort into. It was different from the halfâbaked script last time.
So if Aurora wasnât good enough for the role and the director wanted a change, Marietta wouldnât step in to defend Aurora. This served as a warning to her.
Naturally, Aurora accepted the offer. âWorry not, Ms. Weiss. Iâll do my job perfectly.
âOkay, so tell me this idea of yours.â
Aurora smiled. âI canât tell you about it now. Youâll have to wait a couple of days furst Yvonne will gladly meet you.â
âWhat if that doesnât happen?â Marietta asked.
âIf it doesnât, you can rescind the role you offered me Marietta gave it some thought and made up her mind. âItâs a deal, but you have to give me a time frameâ
Aurora lowered her head and thought deeply A moment later, she raised her eyes to meet Mariettaâs and said, âItâll take no more than five days. If Yvonne doesnât see you within five days, you can cancel your offer â
âOkay, Iâm leaving.â Marietta stood up to leave After seeing Marietta off, Auroraâs face scrunched up in contempt Yvonne was so lucky to have Marietta as her mother
