The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: I have arrived

Silence quickly fell in the hall as everyone stared at Lola in disbelief.

Beauty? WHERE?

Wasn’t the whole point of that horrendous makeup combination because she was ashamed to show her face?

People tried to search for the beauty she was talking about, but no matter which angle they looked from, they just couldn’t find it.

Director Sarian pinched the bridge of his nose, then glanced at the crew. Even those who hadn’t seen Lola before shared the same twisted expression. He couldn’t blame them. Lola was talented enough to truly transform her beautiful face into... that.

"That’s enough—"

"Lola Young, what are you talking about!? Have you lost—WOW! I am speechless!" Manager Kang exclaimed. "How can you say that’s beautiful when everyone here agrees it’s the opposite!"

Lola frowned at him. "This is a cold reading," she said dejectedly, glancing around the room. Her face twitched as a few people flinched the second she looked at them.

How could all these people have such faint hearts? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What I’m saying is—"

"A cold reading is to see how the actors handle unexpected situations and sudden changes in the script," Cedrick interjected, glancing at her. "If her makeup is distracting, was it really her fault that you were distracted just by looking at her?"

He then snapped his eyes to the others. "She’s the creator of the original script, and she will be working closely with all of us. I just think it’s unfair to blame her unique sense of style when we should be evaluating whether the problem is her appearance—or your lack of skill and focus."

"Are you telling me I lack skills?!" Simon erupted, slamming his hands on the table and glaring at Cedrick. "This might be your comeback film, Cedrick, but aren’t you a little arrogant to tell your co-actors they lack skill?"

"That’s not what I—"

"That’s exactly what you were saying!" Manager Kang shouted from the side, looking at everyone and then at Director Sarian’s grim expression.

"Simon, sit down," Director Sarian warned. "This is not a matter to get riled up. Cedrick is not wrong, after all."

Simon frowned. "Director, this isn’t just about me or my fellow actors—or even Cedrick. All I’m saying is, Slater is part of this series. And from what I’ve heard, he hates distracting things."

Or rather, ugly things.

That was just a rumor, but everyone had heard it. Despite Slater’s perfect public image, it was well known that his vanity was on a whole different level. Assuming it was true, did they think he wouldn’t make a huge fuss if he saw Lola like this?

Lola raised her brows. "Oh, don’t worry about that. Slater said I look good." She smiled, recalling his words from that morning.

"Hah!" Manager Kang scoffed. "Lola Young, what are you talking about? Don’t tell me you personally know Slater?"

"Well, all I’m saying is, Slater won’t mind my look for sure. If anything, I’m pretty sure he’ll think it’s pretty!" she intoned. "Slater hates ugly things and people, but he also has a good eye for beauty!"

Everyone stared at her in confusion and disbelief. They didn’t know whether to be shocked at how twisted Lola’s reality was or whether this was the mark of a true artist. Either way, she genuinely saw nothing wrong with her face.

Director Sarian narrowed his eyes.

Did she know Slater? He wondered, frowning. Well... that’s impossible.

There was no way Lola would have known Slater. Otherwise, she would have told him. Or at least, she would have known that Slater had joined the series.
