The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Hold Onto Hope

In the audition room...

Director Sarian clicked his tongue in disappointment. They had just watched the second-to-last actor of this batch, and it was clear he was unimpressed.

"Next!" he called, not bothering to look at the next actor standing before them. He only glanced up after finishing his notes on the previous actor’s paper.

"Can you do this part?" he asked the actor. "I’ll give you a minute."

"Yes, Director." The actor cleared his throat, checking the script one last time, making every second of that minute count.

As the actor prepared, Lola couldn’t help but study the panel. Even the twins looked bored. None of them said a word, but the disappointment on their faces was enough to show they were displeased.

Well, I can’t blame them, Lola mentally shrugged, watching the actor take his cue. I wonder if Cedrick is alright... I’m a bit worried about him.

Being a fallen star in the entertainment industry made someone a target—not just for artists, but also for managers, agency staff, and sometimes even networks. Throwing Cedrick into a room full of actors with significant popularity was like tossing him into a devil’s den.

They would trample him to smithereens.

The corners of Lola’s mouth hooked up as she cupped her cheek, watching the actor.

Shred him to smithereens... just the way I want it.

Lola couldn’t be beside Cedrick to help him internalize the role. But putting him in this situation—forcing him to see the rot of the entertainment industry—would help him rise above all of them.

"Cut!" Director Sarian nodded. "Good work."

"We’ll be contacting you with the results. Good job!" another panel member added, smiling, though the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

As the actor left, the panel members were given a five-minute break.

"Ugh..." Director Sarian leaned back, pushing his glasses up as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why are they all acting so crazy? How can they not understand that Ryker is insane, but the crazy thing about him is that he is crazy, but is really good at convincing others he is not."

The older lady on the panel leaned back as well, tapping the tip of her pen against the table. "Kids, what do you think of the actors so far?"

Everyone looked at the twins and waited for their opinion.

"Ryker’s role is someone others would mistake for a typical successful person," said Second in a knowing tone. "But even with how he presents himself, he gives off a strange aura."

"Ryker never acts crazy," Chacha added with a pout. "Even when he is twisted, it’s not obvious madness. His reveal isn’t that he’s insane—it’s that he’s mad."

Hence, Ryker’s complexity. Chacha wasn’t wrong; Ryker was crazy. But it was a calm, terrifying type of insanity—the kind that made him frightening.

"I don’t think that’s a bad idea," another panel member agreed. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
