Chapter 530 Wished Him Well

Mason was satisfied with both the actors' appearances and performances, scribbling snotes on a pad.

The stage manager announced, "Thanks for all your hard work. That's a wrap on today's auditions."

Mason called out, "Chad, hold on a second. Cover here."

Violeta glanced at Chad. He gave her a questioning look before heading toward Mason. "Mr. Mason, what can | do

for you?"

Violeta gave a small smile and then turned to leave.

The auditions were done, and she had other things to take care of.

As she got into the car to head to her next destination, Aster suddenly remembered something and turned to

Violeta. "Ms. White, you must have met Chad during the auditions, right?" "Yeah, why?"

Aster said, "It's quite something. Do you know who Chad is? He's actually Wade Howell's grandson."

Violeta's eyes widened a little.

The connection made sense now. Despite being known professionally as Chad Turner, Chad's real last nwas

actually Howell, which was the sas Wade's.

Aster continued, "He's been with the company for five years and never mentioned this. He's really quite

discreet."

Violeta replied, "He probably doesn't want to use Mr. Howell's nto get ahead."

Aster agreed, "Exactly. It's rare to find someone like him these days. | was really surprised to learn this. If he had

used his connections, he wouldn't still be a second-tier actor." That was true.

If Chad had used Wade's reputation, he might have progressed further.

The four actors who had signed with Apex years ago had significant connections.

Mason held Chad back to discuss the role.

"Would you be open to changing your hairstyle?"

Chad had a buzz cut from his role in 'The Island’, and he hadn't let it grow much since.

Mason seemed to be suggesting that Chad might need another haircut.

Chad replied, "Sure, I'm open to changing it."

Mason nodded. "If you could slim down a bit more, you'd be perfect. You match the image | had in mind. For now,

you're good to go, and we'll inform you about the next steps." Chad responded, "Alright, Mr. Mason."

Mason's comments implied that Chad was likely to land the lead role.

Chad had been in the industry long enough to understand this.

He left the studio, frequently glancing back, and immediately started a personal fitness regime.

Two days later, the company announced the final results from the auditions.

Chad was cast in the lead male role, and Violeta was cast in the lead female role.

After Violeta's audition that day, Tracy and Evelina also auditioned, but neither was chosen by Mason because

they didn't meet his expectations.

Evelina didn't push for the role for herself. Her current goal was to surpass Tracy.

Their rivalry had becquite personal, and Evelina viewed Tracy as her main competitor.

With Violeta securing the lead female role, Evelina didn't feel any bitterness, understanding that there was still a

significant gap between them.

As for Tracy, not being selected for the role left her somewhat unhappy, but she accepted it. When Tracy found

out Chad had been cast as the lead, she sent him a text on WhatsApp. "Congratulations! | hope you continue to

do well."

Chad and Tracy had worked together on a short film before either of them had made their debut.

They had met during their early days and debuted together. Even though they had taken different paths

afterward, Tracy still had a soft spot for Chad.

She had once liked him and genuinely wished him well.

Chad replied to the message, "Thanks. Sto you."

Once the roles were confirmed, Violeta received the full script.

With Niall's wedding happening this month, her schedule was tight at the end of the month, but she had more

free tat the beginning and middle.

This allowed her to get acquainted with the script and spend twith her family.

However, she hadn't heard back from Kaylee about her role yet, which made her anxious.

The competition for supporting roles was even more intense than for lead roles.

Even though they all auditioned together, it was clear that the lead roles were reserved for top-tier actors, and

mid-tier artists like them were eager to secure a supporting role.
