212 Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second Finished Chapter 432 How poor could the Moore family be Liliana felt her heart settle the moment she saw the scene before her.
It was as if the heavens were on my side!
Brody, Paul, and Walden: â..â
Damn it! How poor could the Moore family be?! Could they not even afford to turn on a single light!
Little did they know...
Inside the garden hall, Olivia was casually playing the piano with one hand while holding a roasted lamb leg in the other.
The reason when Benjamin had gone looking for Olivia earlier, he found her in the middle of devouring the lamb, her lips glistening with grease, clearly not done with her meal. Feeling a pang of sympathy, he had ordered the staff to modify the garden hall slightly, setting up the curtains while also placing a roasted lamb near the piano so Olivia could eat while playing one hand.
Not wanting to compromise either task, Olivia had chosen a relatively simple piece to play.
Since Daxtonâs birthday banquet had no other guests from the entertainment industry apart from Olivia, her striking beauty and mysterious presence had sparked curiosity among many attendees.
Earlier, in the back garden, there hadnât been many guests around, so only a few had noticed Alexanderâs particular attentiveness toward Olivia.
Now, most of the guests found it odd that a minor celebrity, someone who had only just begun making a name for herself, was the only entertainer present at such an exclusive gathering. However, once Olivia -started playing, their scepticism began to fade.
âI knew it! I was wondering why Mr. Daxton would invite some unknown actress to his first publicly hosted birthday banquet.
Turns out, sheâs here to play the piano,â a group of wealthy young men murmured among themselves, each holding a wine glass.
They were all here hoping to curry favor with Daxton.
âYouâre still too naive, do you really think sheâs just here to play the piano? Donât be ridiculous. Her piano skills are just average.
If the Moore family truly wanted a pianist, with their status, they could have invited any world renowned maestro. Why bring in a second rate actress?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âBrother, have you even looked at this Olivia appearance?â The speaker smirked. âShe may not be famous, but sheâs absolutely stunning. Those delicate features? In the entertainment industry, sheâs topâtier. You should know by now what that means in our circles.â
In his words, the other wealthy heirs exchanged knowing glances.
Women in the entertainment industry, regardless of their status. Were always viewed as prime targets for their indulgences.
âNo matter how beautiful they are or how many fans worship them, I know exactly how these smallâtime actresses operate. As long as the price is right, thereâs nothing they wouldnât do... The Moore familyâs young bossman isnât that old yet. Who knows?
Maybe this girl is his latest conquest.â

Finished âDidnât you notice, sheâs only played two songs, and theyâve already covered the entire garden hall in sheer curtains. Itâs pitch dark inside, who can even tell whoâs playing? For all we know... that girl could be in there, and the Moore familyâs young bossman could be with her...â
A chorus of snickers spread through the group. They had seen situations like this too many times before. Using their own experiences as a reference, their minds immediately conjured up an assortment of indecent scenarios.
âThe Moore familyâs young bossman is probably just having his fun. But I have to admit, that girl is a real beauty. If the opportunity arises, once heâs had his fill, we should get close to her too. She wouldnât dare say no...â
