Ch. 1676..1680: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1676-1680

Chapter 1676

When Nicole saw that reaction from the two women, she asked, " Is there anything wrong?" "N-no...'" Gwendolyn immediately shook her head.

"I just thought that it's such a waste.

You look so pretty.

You'll definitely have a lot of fans once you have made your debut.

You'll definitely be successful if you remain in the entertainment industry." Nicole shook her head.

"It's fine. I don't want to be famous." Nicole had offended many people in the past.

The more famous she became, the more danger she would be putting her family in.

Although she was not worried, she did not wish to invite more trouble for Jared and the Riddles.

Gwendolyn and the makeup artist were in even greater shock when they heard that there were people who did not wish to be famous.

Just like that, the entire room was filled with silence.

Soon after, Nicole was done with her makeup, and so, she followed Gwendolyn back to the launching ceremony.

At that point, almost all members of the cast had arrived, with Nicole being one of the last to arrive.

Hearing that the female lead had arrived, everyone raised their heads, wanting to get a good look of the woman who had gone viral with Lloyd on the internet.

However, they were all attracted to Nicole as soon as they took a glance.

The set, costume and makeup were remarkably simple, but the makeup and the charisma truly matched her, the very regal charisma that complimented her beauty.

"She really is the perfect pick for this role." Nachelle stepped forward and looked at Nicole with her eyes widened.

Previously, she had already thought that Nicole looked pretty, and that she exhibited traits which she wanted in the character.

However, she did not expect her to be so flexible.

After putting some makeup on, Nicole looked as if she was born out of a script.

Once those words were spoken, everyone echoed it.

"Yes, Nachelle really has a good eye." Nachelle seemed proud of himself, thinking that her son had inherited the ability to pick well from her.

Whether she was going to be an actress or her daughter-in-law, Nachelle felt that Nicole was very pleasing to the eye.

Noticing that Nicole was grabbing so much attention, Chloe was on the verge of exploding.

'These people are such sycophants.

They also said the same thing about me!' Now, all of those words were now uttered to Nicole, and it was just because Lloyd had recommended Nicole.

Chloe was intent on not listening to the hogwash they were spewing At that moment, Nachelle pulled Nicole to her side to prepare for the launching ceremony, and though Chloe had already taken the

center position, Nachelle pushed her to the side, sandwiching Nicole between Nachelle and Lloyd in the process.

Chloe was so angry at that sight that her face close to being ossified.

Ka-chick.

And just like that, the photo shooting session was over, after which the host announced loudly, "The ribbon cutting ceremony begins!" Nachelle received the scissors and cut the ribbon asunder while facing the audience.

This entire scene was captured by the cameras all over.

Since the cameras were focusing on Nachelle, they would have to place their shots in Nicole's direction.

Meanwhile, Chloe was annoyed that she could not squeeze into the frame.

She was extremely furious.

After the ribbon cutting ceremony had ended, the launching ceremony was officiated.

Nachelle engaged the crew in some pep talk, whereupon the team began their production.

Chloe only had one scene.

But, once she had heard that Nicole had three to four scenes, she immediately understood what it meant.

"Was this shooting schedule arranged to accommodate Nicole?" The assistant immediately felt embarrassed.

She could only reply with, "I heard that...she is only available during the weekends.

So, the weekends are reserved for the shooting of her scenes." Once Chloe heard that, she became purple with rage.

"What right does she have? Even if she is the female lead, I'm still the best actress! It's one thing for me to play a supporting role! Now, the shooting schedule has to be arranged according to her schedule? This is too much!"

 

Chapter 1677

They were both daughters of the Riddle family.

Because of that, she could not understand why the Holder family would treat Chloe as such.

"Calm down, Miss Chloe.

It wasn't easy for you to join the production this time around.

You better not get your panties ina twist over such a petty matter..." The assistant reminded her out of concern.

After all, they had been kicked out before.

Being able to get the second supporting role was not easy, so they better not be making any demands.

After being reminded by her manager, Chloe suppressed her emotions.

‘Right, I've already faced the consequences once before.

It happened because I could not keep my cool and lost it,' she thought.

After that incident, Chloe definitely had to remain calm.

After placing the timetable down, Chloe calmed down significantly.

"Forget it, let's just make do with this for now.

You can go and make the arrangements." The waiting time might have been long, but it was fine.

Even if Chloe had only one scene that day, she must outperform Nicole.

And at that moment, Nicole was already ready for the shoot outside of the green room, and her very first scene was with Lloyd.

Lloyd had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Being able to act alongside Nicole was something which he had never dared to dream of.

"Are you ready, Nicole?" Lloyd looked at Nicole gently, worried that she was not prepared.

"Don't worry, I've memorized the script.

Let's start right away." Nicole flashed him a calm smile.

On the other hand, Lloyd was very awkward.

He did not know how to convey to Nicole that acting was not just about memorizing her lines.

However, he still decided to give Nicole a shot.

“Alright then, let's begin." Nachelle received Lloyd's response and immediately ordered the cameras to begin rolling.

Although Nachelle was excited to see Nicole's performance, she was still level headed about it.

It was Nicole's first time acting, so she should not be expected to act perfectly.

Surprisingly, once Nicole spoke, her speech was articulated with perfect clarity and tone.

Furthermore, her gaze quickly matched her character.

"Anson, I did not expect you to be such a person," Nicole delivered, her eyes filled with despair from betrayal.

Although her face was cold, it was heart-breaking to watch.

Her acting was not as great as those of experienced professionals, but it was still believable.

Those expressions were her most genuine performance.

"Nachelle...this acting technique..." The assistant director was so stunned that he was at a loss for words.

"Don't stop.

Continue filming." Nachelle looked at Nicole in surprise, unable to turn her gaze away.

At that moment, Nicole was already very much into the character.

As the best cast members could motivate the others, Lloyd got into the character too and replied, "What's wrong with that? You should have known it from the start.

There's no one in my heart, not even you." Lloyd's face was icy and he performed well as the prodigal son he was.

Nicole stared at Lloyd and bit her lips.

Then, she uttered her lines again.

Every word, and every sentence were all uttered clearly with the appropriate intonations that everyone present could not help but admire her skills.

Just like that, Nicole continued to perform well! Initially, the scene was one that required the development of emotions.

But to Nicole, it was so easy that she could immediately complete all of it in a single take.

On top of that, that particular take was approved by the directors.

When Nicole resolutely turned around and walked off, Nachelle shouted with satisfaction, "Cut!" However, in an instant, the look of despair that belonged to the character had disappeared from Nicole's eyes.

It had turned blank.

It seemed to everyone that she did not even have to shake herself out of the character, and proceeded to walk out of the frame calmly.

Lloyd walked over with a look of surprise on his face.

"Nicole! Your performance was superb!" He thought that after the test shot, he would have to explain the movie to her.

However, he did not expect Nicole to pass during the very first shot itself.

Nicole glanced over coldly.

"What's so hard about that? Have we not gotten enough practice back in the day?" Indeed, back in the day, their lives would be in danger if they failed in putting up an act.

Thus, Nicole was well-trained in such a craft.

It was nothing to be surprised of.

Chapter 1678

Lloyd was stunned.

When Lloyd attempted to advise Nicole all those years ago, those were the exact same words which he had uttered.

"That's true.

After all, we're long-time partners," he said as he thought about how the movies they had acted in previously were a lot more complex than this.

"Don't worry, I've watched quite a number of soap operas as of recent, but I've taken care to remove those exaggerations.

It should look a lot more natural." Nicole replied seriously.

Lloyd did not expect Nicole to put in the effort to study the techniques.

That was the reason as to why she could handle it well.

"It was definitely natural." Nicole's acting was extremely natural.

Who knows, perhaps once the series had been aired, her techniques would become a trend.

“We're done with this scene, right? I'll go and catch a break now." She waved Lloyd goodbye and walked to her green room.

Her room was remarkably close to Nachelle's, and when they met, Nachelle could not help but laugh.

"Nicole, is this really your first time acting? You acted very well.” Nicole gave Nachelle a polite smile in response.

"Thank you for your compliment.

That is part of my job." Since Nicole had agreed to help, she would put in the effort.

Her acting was not the issue.

The hardest part were the lines.

However, Nicole had learned quite a few things in that period of time.

She was just testing the waters with some of her skills.

To her surprise, the outcome turned out really well.

If she was given a bit more time, it would have been even better.

What Nicole did not know was that everyone else was shocked by her acting skills.

At that point, they understood why Lloyd had brought someone new in for the role.

As expected, skills were important.

Nachelle looked at the time and said, "You can film really fast.

Later on, I'll ask them to add a few more scenes for you so that we can get more done today." "Alright." Nicole nodded.

After all, getting more done would mean that they would be able to end the production earlier, something which she did not mind at all.

Chloe had been waiting until the sun had set, and yet, no one had come to call her.

The fact that an award-winning actress had been sidelined and abandoned by others did not bode well.

Unable to stand the wait any longer, she asked, "What happened? Isn't Nicole supposed to have two scenes only? Is she not done yet? ‘Her acting skills must have been so bad that it dragged on up until this point,' she thought.

Unexpectedly, the assistant replied, "I've just checked.

I heard that Nicole's acting was so good that most of the scenes were completed in just one take.

So, the director at the last minute added a few more scenes for her." “What? They actually added scenes for Nicole.

If that's the case, I'll have to continue sitting here and waiting?" she asked.

Unable to stomach it anymore, so left the room to check things out.

"I'll go and take a peek." "Okay." The assistant made way and followed Chloe out of the room from behind.

As expected, when Chloe went out, Nicole was already filming a scene with Lloyd.

Watching as Nicole touch Lloyd's face as the both of them leaned in close to each other, Chloe could not help but raise her brows.

Good things really did come knocking her door when she least expected it.

Chloe was thinking of ways to mess around with Nicole, and a window of opportunity had just opened itself up for her.

At that thought, Chloe immediately took a picture of the moment when the both of them were faking a kiss.

Then, she sent it anonymously to Jared...

“You're screwed.

The show is just about to begin." Chloe smiled smugly and pocketed her phone.

At that moment, it just so happened that Nachelle saw Chloe.

Then, she was reminded that Chloe had been waiting and that her scene was yet to be shot.

Coincidentally, the scene of Nicole was over within one take, prompting Nachelle to call out for Chloe.

“Chloe, you came at the right time.

The next scene will be between you and Nicole." Upon hearing that, Chloe became excited, and Nachelle went on to mind her.

A grin crossed Chloe's face.

"Of course. I'll go and prepare immediately." Chloe left the side of the set to get a touch up for her makeup.

At that moment, Nicole had just walked past her, and when they locked eyes, Chloe seized the opportunity to coldly say, "When we're filming our scenes later, you better learn something from me."

Nicole's eyes narrowed and she asked, "You're an award-winning actress who is obsolete.

Where did you find the confidence to teach me?" Once those words exited Nicole's mouth, Chloe became so enraged that she did not know how to respond.

“Who says that I'm obsolete?" Previously, she had only gone out to have fun.

Her fans would not forget her that easily.

“T said it.

Are you deaf?" Nicole mocked in a low voice.

 

Chapter 1679

Chloe's face turned pale in an instant.

She really wanted to scream and strangle Nicole.

However, she could not do so.

One thing to consider was that they would be filming a scene later.

With that in mind, Chloe said, "Just you wait.

I'll make you suffer later." The upcoming scene involved the supporting character slapping and scolding the female lead, and because of that, Chloe was given the means to teach Nicole a lesson.

Yet, Nicole did not seem to care.

Watching as Nicole left to get her makeup done, Chloe snorted.

She believed that as long as she and Nicole were put together, Nachelle would know who the better fit for the role of female lead was.

Finally, everything was ready, and Chloe and Nicole stood next to each other.

After Nachelle had ordered the cameras to roll, the both of them quickly got into character.

Initially, everyone thought that Nicole would seem less talented when put together with Chloe, no matter how good Nicole was.

But this time around, Nicole got into character a few seconds quicker than Chloe did, causing a hint of approval to appear in Nachelle's eyes at once.

In a few seconds, Chloe switched and took on the hostile demeanor that was expected of her character.

"Do you know how much Anson has sacrificed for you? He loves you so much, and what have you done for him?" Every step that Chloe took was extremely aggressive.

Nicole followed the script.

Her eyes were filled with remorse as she stepped back slowly, showing an expression of denial.

Chloe delivered a huge chunk of her line, and just as she was about to perform the next action, Nachelle suddenly shouted, "Cut!" Then, she turned to Chloe and yelled, "Chloe, your emotions came in too slow in this scene.

You better gather yourself for a while and enter that state of mind quickly in the next take.

And here's another issue.

Your pronunciation for the second line was not accurate.

Pay attention." Chloe was stunned.

She thought that if she acted with Nicole, the one who would cause an issue would be the latter.

In spite of this, Chloe was still planning to gloat from the side.

To her surprise, however, Nachelle did not say anything bad about Nicole.

Instead, she criticized Chloe's performance.

By right, it was impossible for Chloe to do worse than a newbie, but judging by the reactions of those present, they were extremely dissatisfied with Chloe too.

Earlier on, Nicole had shot six to seven scenes in a row, and they were all completed in one single take.

Yet, there were forced to cut once Chloe began her scene.

"Let's restart again." Nachelle ordered without comment further and immediately restarted the entire shoot.

Chloe glared at Nicole.

If Nachelle had not stopped her, Chloe would have given Nicole a slap as written in the script.

This time around, she was determined not to make any mistakes.

However, the more nervous Chloe was, the more twisted her tongue became, culminating in her getting cut off again at the very last line.

"Chloe, what is wrong with you? What are you thinking about? Can you focus a little bit more?" Nachelle yelled.

Nachelle was far from happy with her performance, for the momentum had now been destroyed because of Chloe's choppy lines.

"I'm sorry, Nachelle...I was too nervous just now." Chloe felt so guilty that she quickly admitted her mistakes.

Yet, she did not fee] good losing to Nicole.

It was due to the fact that she wanted to slap Nicole so badly that she got distracted.

"Let's start from the top!" Nachelle said grumpily.

Chloe immediately got into character.

This time around, she did not rush into it.

She read her lines accordingly and entered the character's state of mind.

But Nicole's eyes seemed so innocent that Chloe could not find fault in Nicole's acting.

Chapter 1680

However, Nicole was just a high school student, and she had never acted before.

How could she possess such excellent acting skills? The jealousy in Chloe's heart caused her to raise her hands to slap Nicole after she was done saying her lines.

And so, the hands headed straight toward Nicole's cheeks.

Nicole noticed the height of Chloe's hands and her eyes froze.

‘This little b*tch wants to take this opportunity to give me a real slap?' she wondered.

Without giving it much thought, Nicole grabbed onto Chloe's hand and retaliated with a slap of her own.

With a loud smack, the air became still.

This left Chloe stunned, as well as everyone who was present, for it was not written in the script.

Unexpectedly, Nicole changed the lines and looked at Chloe with downcast eyes.

"That is between me and him.

What right do you have to interfere? Nina, please know your place! You have no right to tell me off!"

The powerful aura and the restrained sadness were perfectly depicted through her acting, so much so that everyone present was convinced about that story.

Nachelle was also stunned.

Initially, she wanted the female lead to receive a slap as some sort of wake-up call.

To her surprise, with Nicole's sudden flipping of the script, it somehow managed to add a layer of strength and arrogance to the female lead Moreover, it also added one more conflict to the story.

The editor at the side also praised her in a daze.

"Wonderful...1 think Lynette's character was lacking such uniqueness.

Such arrogance is really attractive to the audience!” At that moment, Chloe, who had just received a slap, came back to her senses.

She looked at Nicole in shock, "H-how dare you hit me?" Chloe was supposed to be the one to hit Nicole in that scene and Nicole was only supposed to receive the beating.

Yet, Nicole had changed the script and made a move on Chloe.

At that thought, Chloe laughed; Nachelle hated it the most when someone changed her script.

As such, Nicole would most definitely receive a reprimand for having done so.

However, Nicole did not stop.

Instead, she continued acting and responded to Chloe's question.

"So what if I hit you? Do you think I'm blind? I know all about the ways you've used to seduce Anson in the office.

Don't forget, you're just his assistant.

Even if I did not exist, a b*tch like you would never have the chance!" In an instant, Nicole's charisma skyrocketed to the point that even Nachelle could not help but feel fascinated.

With Nicole's aura and personality, her acting chops became all the more enchanting.

At that point, Nachelle was sure that a female lead like this would definitely become popular.

Chloe did not expect Nicole to continue acting, and as she did not wish to cooperate, she spun around to look at the camera.

" Nachelle! Nicole changed the script without permission! What is this!?" Nachelle was perplexed.

She wanted to watch the two of them proceed, but with Chloe suddenly asking her to stop the scene, she had no choice but to do so.

With her patience wearing thin, Nachelle immediately shouted.

" Cut! Chloe, what's the matter with you? Did I ask you to stop? Why did you turn back?" Chloe's eyes widened at once.

'What the hell is this!? Nicole was clearly the one who flipped the script and slapped me in the face.

And yet, I'm the one getting reprimanded?' "Nachelle, it wasn't me..." Chloe attempted to explain but Nachelle was not having any of it.

"Do you know who the director is? I'm the only one who can shout cut or for the film to stop! You've disrupted all of Nicole's mojo!" Chloe was completely dumbfounded.

Nicole had changed the script without permission, but Nachelle did not only let Nicole off the hook.

She had also blamed Chloe for stopping the shoot and for throwing Nicole completely off.

"I'm sorry Nachelle.

Miss Chloe was just shocked that the script has been changed suddenly...Sorry.

Sorry." The manager immediately came over and apologized as she was worried that Chloe would spew venom out of anger.

Nachelle stared at Chloe's manager angrily and yelled, "Let's start again!" Then, Nachelle walked toward Nicole and in a gentle tone, she said, "Nicole, what do you think? I think the improvised scene was excellent.

Furthermore, it gave the female lead a distinctive character." Nicole laughed.

"Did it? The idea came all of a sudden.

It's good that you liked it."
