Chapter 5 Becoming A Freelance Actor

Then Isabella agreed to the contract with Joseph under the terms of a freelance actress, not bound by any company.

On the way home, Marisa was still completely puzzled about what was happening here. They had just finished school, and Isabella had already received the lead role?

Not only that, but Director Joseph personally invited her, and the salary and script were all at Isabella's discretion, which must be said to be very high treatment, something many actors in the industry might not get.

"Isabella, you're really something, just a few words and you got the lead role. But aren't you afraid that Sebastian will think you're clinging to him?"

"Cling to him? Not until seeing the coffin do not shed tears, I will show him... what coffins and tears are."

Marisa looked at her with a strange gaze, clearly, the person in front of her was still her old friend, the same face, the same voice, but it seems the temperament has changed a lot, not only that, but she has also suddenly become very smart and dangerous...

But then Marisa didn't care too much, she clung to Isabella's hand and whispered:

"Isabella, let me know when the shooting starts, I want to get an autograph from my husband."

"Depends on my mood."

"Oh come on! Isabella!"

[...]

At the film set at this moment, there was also some chaos when Joseph wanted to give the lead role to Isabella, many actors also spoke up to dissuade him, but he didn't seem to take it to heart.

Approaching the investor, Joseph looked at him and said:

"Chairman Payne, what do you think about the girl just now, her temperament is very good, both steadfast and compliant, not like other young ladies... I even see in her the traits of the Young family."

Not only Joseph noticed, after a while without seeing her, Isabella as Kendrick knew seemed to have changed a lot... So much that he was almost unable to recognize her.

At this moment, Mikayla looked at him, then said:

"Chairman Payne, it seems Young Mistress Young has no intention of giving up on Sebastian. Initially, she even intended to refuse Director Parks, but after hearing Sebastian was also participating in acting, she immediately agreed."

Pausing a moment, Mikayla then scratched her head and said:

"What exactly is Young Mistress Young doing? On one hand, she shows disdain for Sebastian, and on the other, she acts in a movie with him? Could it be... she wants to employ a strategy of using soft tactics to bind him?"

The more Mikayla spoke, the darker Kendrick's face became... No, this girl is not like his little kitten.

Although Isabella used to act on a whim, arrogant and haughty, she was not the type with such an extraordinary temperament, and furthermore, the matter of the Young family back then in the Robbins country...

The Young family of the Robbins country...

The Young family of the Capital Emperor...

There must be a connection between these two events.

It might sound far-fetched, but Kendrick felt that his little cat was gone, and that woman... Could she be the female general of the Young family who had traveled through time to this era?

He shook his head, thinking he must be going mad. After all, time travel doesn't exist in this world, nor is there any science to prove it.

Thinking more simply, perhaps Isabella has grown up and is thinking more broadly now.

He should probably go meet this cat.

Upon returning home, Isabella also told her parents about accepting that film role. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Young thought their daughter was not yet over Sebastian, wanting to run there to act in the film, even suspecting she would ask them for money to support the film crew and Sebastian.

But then Isabella said:

"Mom, Dad, I hope you can provide me with three bodyguards during the days I film. I don't want to encounter Sebastian."

Rodney Young and Maci Young looked at each other in astonishment, but it was their youngest daughter's request, so they agreed. However, Ryan looked at her incredulously, saying:

"Isabella, do you really dislike Sebastian that much? Why are you avoiding him like the plague?"

"What are you saying? Your sister is, after all, a precious daughter of the Young family, and now she's become open-minded and no longer likes him. Shouldn't we be celebrating?"

As Rodney finished speaking, Maci clapped her hands and said:

"Dad's right, my little one. How about this weekend mom throws a party to celebrate our daughter getting the lead role in a new movie, how about that?"

According to the original host's memories, Isabella had won not a few roles, but most were either supporting roles or monotonous lead roles, and her acting was so amateurish that she had no real reputation.

The Young elders feared their daughter would be sad, so they spent a lot of money buying water army support for her, which helped gain a following and created some buzz for the film. However, the domestic film industry couldn't continue like this forever, and later on, they became more restrained.

But Isabella had to admit that the original host was very fortunate to have such loving parents... In her previous life, she was also fortunate. If she had listened to her father and stayed away from that wretch, she could have lived a fulfilled life. Unfortunately...

"Little one? What's wrong? Do you feel unwell? You look a bit off, do you need mom to call a doctor?"

"No need, mom, I'm just thinking about a few things."

Maci laughed and then served her some food, saying:

"It seems our little one has truly grown up, even becoming thoughtful. Now we can really rest assured."

A dinner filled with such love and warmth comforted Isabella.

However, they still insisted on not forgetting about the celebration for her, when Mariana then looked at her mother, saying:

"Right, mom, why don't we invite grandpa too? It's been a while since he's been home."

"That's true, he's been at the temple worshipping Buddha for three months now, we should bring him home, he must miss the little one a lot."

Hearing the word "grandfather." Isabella paused for a moment, as the original host's memory seemed not to have an image of the grandfather, or more accurately, she didn't care about this person... But why? Was it because the grandfather didn't like the original host?
