Chapter 46: See in a New Light

A person like him, who is fundamentally quite rotten, might just be seeking new thrills. However, now, facing the confidence displayed by her brothers, it wasn’t just because of outward advantages, but because she truly possessed that inner strength. Clara Bennett glanced at her phone, realizing that she didn’t have enough time to linger as she had previously told her agent she would be recording a few audition videos today. So, she quickly finished the milk in her hand: "Brothers, I’ll explain in detail why I’m so confident when I have the chance, but I’m in a hurry now, so I have to go. Anyway, please await my good news, I’m sure it’ll work out this time!" With that, she quickly ran out, leaving her three brothers looking at each other. The three of them had already discussed yesterday that Clara had grown up a lot, showing obvious rebelliousness when she was dating Samuel Grant. In the past, she often did things that gave them headaches, like staying out all night and mingling with bad teenagers, which worried her family a lot. They even suspected that because they always restricted her from doing this or that as a child, it led to her being more rebellious in some aspects. When the family disagreed with her dating Samuel Grant, Clara behaved even more aggressively. Therefore, they decided now to support her more, trust her, and not obstruct her as much. Everyone hoped that through this method, Clara could truly realize her own value, find her direction in life in a freer space, and also hoped that this could make communication between them a bit easier. James Bennett said, "We need to trust Clara." There was a bit of helplessness in his tone, but also a lot of hope. He understood that only by letting go could they truly see if this little girl could become independent. Edward Bennett firmly said, "Clara will definitely make it!" His voice was full of endless support and trust in his sister’s future. Even though he was busy with work, he never forgot to pay attention to his sister’s growth process, and this opportunity was also a kind of proof for him. Charles Bennett said with a smile, "Oh, it’s just a small audition, it’s nothing for our Clara." He said this easily, and gave Clara an encouraging look, hoping his sister would perform well in the audition. Clara sat in the car, her heart full of both excitement and nervousness about the opportunity to come, then she gently held the hand of her agent, Charlotte Harper, sitting next to her, saying, "Ms. Harper, please take good care of me." Although her words were simple, there was a look in her eyes that longed for recognition. Harper was very courteous to her, responding with a smile, "Hello, Miss Bennett, as expected for the CEO’s sister, not only is your appearance outstanding, but your temperament is also very attractive. Ah, I’ve been really busy lately, so I can only find time to help you handle some matters temporarily. If time permits, I would love to accompany you in developing your career. After all, with your condition and professional guidance, I believe you can soon shine. I especially hope to have such an opportunity to personally guide you growing." Actually, Charlotte Harper was one of the industry veterans, not only having extensive connections but also careful thinking. The reason she praised Clara Bennett so was partly due to her background considerations. As Edward Bennett’s younger sister, she naturally couldn’t be underestimated. However, to be honest, she had some resistance to mentoring new artists from wealthy backgrounds. Because often these kids are used to being pampered, it’s hard for them to accept criticism or too harsh demands, let alone being able to train hard to improve their skills. Moreover, many times their success is more reliant on family resources rather than personal effort, which makes many professionals like Charlotte dissatisfied. So when she first heard Edward Bennett request her to take his sister to an audition, she was actually not willing and had complained several times before. As for Clara Bennett, she saw the situation quite clearly. After holding the hand of this experienced agent, she calmly said, "Ms. Harper, you are recognized in the circle as a veteran, highly qualified and competent. But if I’m just a novice actor going to an audition, you don’t have to bother accompanying me." "If someone happens to recognize that you are accompanying a nobody, it might arouse curiosity and unnecessary rumors and speculations, right? Even though I was recommended by my brother to get in, I don’t intend to take advantage of this relationship to get any special treatment. If the audition really passes smoothly, it won’t hurt to trouble you to help negotiate subsequent details. If the result isn’t ideal, there will be a buffer period, avoiding an awkward situation at that time, right?" She calmly stated her thoughts, revealing a mature yet confident attitude between her words. Charlotte Harper was a bit surprised by this, after all, those rich young ladies she had dealt with before were all eager to pay directly to arrange to be a lead actress. It was rare for someone to want to audition personally. Now, she couldn’t help but take another good look at Clara Bennett. The more Harper looked, the more she felt this little girl was truly beautiful, with an outstanding bearing, seemingly born with a noble aura that was impossible to ignore. Harper couldn’t help but exclaim, "You truly have a noble appearance by nature." Clara heard it but didn’t show any particularly flattering reaction; she just gently smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment. From a young age, my dad and my brothers have treated me like the apple of their eye. If I don’t turn out a bit presentable, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to their careful nurturing and expectations?" As she said this, Harper was even more amazed. Clara’s words were full of composure and confidence, completely unlike an ordinary newcomer to the entertainment industry; indeed, this is how a daughter from a renowned family should behave. So naturally, Harper began to see Clara Bennett in a new light. At this moment, in her eyes, Clara was not just an ordinary auditionee but a potential future shining star. When the two arrived at the destination and sat in a room, Clara first took out the two scripts she had prepared and looked at them carefully, then asked Harper to help record a video for future reference. The entire recording process lasted about 15 minutes or so. After it ended, watching the spectacular performance in the playback, Harper was so excited she was almost speechless: "Miss Bennett, would you consider having me as your agent? I promise to do my utmost to help you carve out a sky in the entertainment circle! After returning, I will immediately convey my thoughts to your second brother. As for today’s audition, I’m sure there will be absolutely no problem! I can swear an oath to you on this!"
