Chapter 523 Her Advantage

Eugene said, "Yeah, Evelina does have quite a few advantages, but it's strange. Today at the party, Evelina tried

to offer a drink to Mason, but he turned her down. So, she switched targets and started cozying up to the CEO

instead."

Violeta was taken aback. "Who?"

Eugene replied, "Our CEO, Jasper Weekley."

"What?!" Impressive.

Jasper was notorious for changing girlfriends frequently without getting emotionally attached. His reputation was

well known among the rich kids and the study-abroad circles.

It made sense for Evelina to set her sights on Jasper, but her strategy seemed baffling.

If she already had a significant advantage with Mason, why would she go through the trouble of pursuing Jasper

instead?

Jasper might be generous when dating, but he never kept anyone around for long.

Even if Evelina did manage to hook up with him, she wouldn't last more than a month at most.

Was she hoping to becthe movie's female lead by relying on Jasper?

There was a straightforward path ahead, yet Evelina chose to take a more complicated one.

Violeta thought it was suspicious.

Eugene's next words were a revelation. He said, "Do you think it's possible that Evelina realized she wouldn't get

any special treatment from Mason, so she decided to go after the CEO instead? But why wouldn't she have an

advantage with Mr. Mason? It doesn't make sense."

Violeta thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.

How did Evelina manage to land the lead role in The Lies in Winter?

"Forget it. We'll see how it plays out. Eugene, when's the audition?"

"At the end of the month."

"Got it."

Her was set to air soon.

There has been a significant online promotional push recently, releasing a lot of behind-the-scenes footage.

Even Zelena's team, which had been quiet for a while, joined in the promotion and shared several posts on social

media.

Eugene asked, "Beauty, how did your day go?"

Violeta replied, "It went well. | took him to meet my parents. Everyone was happy, and the atmosphere was

great."

On the other end of the line, Eugene rubbed his chin. He thought Violeta's boyfriend might be a lot better than

the guy Lydia was dating.

Eugene felt reassured because

had already introduced him to her

parents, knowing they were the

best

people to screen her future husband.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. I'll keep you posted if anything comes up. Tomorrow, just follow your regular

schedule."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Violeta set her phone down and paced in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. She was deep in

thought.

The housekeeper walked in with a

plate of freshly washed

strawberries. Tuna was waggi

its

tail and followed closely behind, hoping to share in the treat

"Ms. Violeta, have sstrawberries."

Violeta was deep in contemplation, her expression troubled. Gabriela asked, "Is something bothering you?"

Violeta sighed and said, "Yeah, I just can't figure something out."

She could understand Evelina's motives but not her approach.

Violeta tried to recall whether Evelina had indeed played the lead in The Lies in Winter in her previous life.

Why would Evelina abandon her own advantage and pursue Jasper?

As far as Violeta could remember, Evelina was indeed the lead actress in that movie.

In her past life, Violeta had also gone through a rough patch. She had watched this heartwarming, healing film.

Evelina was definitely the lead.

Violeta picked up a strawberry and took a bite.

"Ms. Silverleaf, do you think someone would abandon their advantage and take a different path to achieve their

goal?"

Gabriela responded, "Is that what's troubling you, Miss?

"Actually, it's not that difficult to

understand. Perhaps what you perceive as an advantage isn't perceived that way by them. Your perspectives are

different, so you perceive things differently.

Gabriela's words enlightened Violeta.

She had assumed that Evelina's advantage was her role in the first film, likely making her Mason's muse.

If she looked beyond that assumption, maybe Evelina wasn't Mason's first choice after all.

Even though Evelina led Mason's first film, she may not have been the first choice. If so, her advantage as a

muse would vanish.

Violeta smiled and said, "You're right, Ms. Silverleaf. That makes perfect sense."
