Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me!

Chapter 38

Audrey was unaware of Linda’s frustration. Abner had been hospitalized for nearly a week, and she visited him at the hospital every day.

When Abner was discharged, Audrey was about to start filming, and she wouldn’t have much time to come back to the mansion.

When it was time to join the production team, Audrey took a taxi to the production location. She didn’t ask Anna to pick her up and had her wait on set.

On the first day, Dean did not arrange for any filming. He simply wanted everyone to have the opportunity to get to know each other.

Audrey wasn’t keen on actively getting to know anyone, so she had a lot of free time.

She met Elena, the female protagonist of the original novel. Unbeknownst to anyone in the entertainment industry, Elena was the true daughter of a wealthy family.

She initially wanted to avoid any interaction with the female lead and keep her distance. However, after encountering Elena’s gaze, she came to the realization that there was no need for unnecessary actions on her part.

Elena’s eyes unmistakably conveyed her dislike towards her.

This was to be expected. After all, in the original book, Elena had initially held strong affection for Abner. The same sentiment applied in the opposite direction as well.

The first day was peaceful, and the filming officially started the next day.

After knowing that she was a newbie, many people in the production team were a little worried that she would slow down the progress.

However, after she filmed two scenes, no one was worried about this anymore.

Audrey performed exceptionally in nearly every scene. At times, even the veteran actors found it challenging to match her skill during their shared scenes.

Dean was overjoyed. His intuition told him that he had picked up a treasure. He had a feeling that Audrey would become popular.

There was no problem with filming, but Audrey encountered another problem.

Ever since she met Jerry at the hospital, he had found her contact information from somewhere and would call her often.

Audrey’s rejection was ineffective, so she could only blacklist him.

Jerry didn’t take Audrey seriously in the slightest. He viewed her as nothing more than a stepdaughter. He believed that Audrey should consider herself fortunate that he had taken an interest in her, but Audrey was far from convinced by his perspective.

This made Jerry very angry. He went straight to the production team.

His acting skills were undoubtedly impressive. As a gesture of goodwill, he purchased afternoon tea for the entire production team and treated them to it. Subsequently, he presented Audrey with a sizable bouquet of roses.

Audrey rejected Jerry, but Jerry wouldn’t stop pestering her.

Audrey was reluctant to create a scene in front of everyone. She used the intermission as an opportunity to discreetly speak to Dean, informing him of the situation before taking Jerry to a more private setting in the lounge.

Of course, she didn’t go alone. She took Anna with her.

“Audrey, I really like you. We…”

Audrey interrupted him. “I’ve said many times that I don’t like you. Don’t come on set to look for me in the future. This will cause me a lot of trouble.”

Jerry didn’t expect to be rejected and he didn’t expect such a blunt rejection.

Abner acted this way. Audrey acted just like Abner. Jerry could suppress his anger when encountering Abner since Abner had a legit status and position. But what right does Audrey have?

“Audrey, don’t be so shameless. You’re lucky that I like you. You’re just a stepdaughter. What right do you have to be arrogant?” As Jerry spoke, he extended his hand towards Audrey’s face.

Audrey stepped to the side, and Jerry leaned over again.

Audrey took a deep breath, raised her foot, and kicked Jerry’s calf.

Since she was still wearing high heels for the filming, the blow was unrelenting. Jerry let out a hiss of pain in response to the intense impact.

Audrey was determined to avoid getting entangled with him, so she deftly circled around him and began to move away. However, her intentions were short-lived as Jerry reached out and firmly grasped her arm after she had taken only two steps.

Audrey was on the brink of calling out to Anna when she witnessed Anna rushing over and swiftly kicking Jerry, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Jerry was taken completely off guard by the unexpected altercation. He exclaimed angrily, “Audrey, how dare you attack me? I won’t let you off the hook easily.”

Audrey originally wanted to leave, but she stopped when she heard that.

“Alright, since you’ve said so, there’s no need for me to be courteous.”

With that said, Audrey looked at Anna. “Anna, you’ve practiced martial arts since you were young, so you definitely know which places hurt the most, but doesn’t leave heavy bruises.”

Anna nodded.

Audrey clapped her hands. “Then do it. Regardless of how many times we hit him, he would hold a grudge against us. Then we might as well hit him a few more times just for fun.”
