Chapter 847: Chapter 847 Another Character_1
But even so, Jimmy Simmons couldn’t let his guard down when it came to Arnold Simmons.
He firmly believed that this must be one of Arnold’s schemes, but after several deliberate probes yielded no reaction from Arnold, Jimmy allowed himself to relax a bit and focused on his own projects.
After being missing for a year, Jimmy was more eager than anyone to make a mark within the Simmons Clan to suppress those coveting his position.
Of course, during this time, his relationship with Tiffany Lynch also developed just as it had in the original plot.
But this time, Tiffany was playing it smart, knowing that for men, it’s always the unattainable that seems most desirable, so their relationship remained unconfirmed.
Even so, Jimmy still helped Tiffany secure quite a few resources.
For instance, the latest script for "The Palace Wall."
When she was with Jimmy, Tiffany finally reclaimed that cherished feeling of being adored and held in the palm of someone’s hand, so when Jimmy asked her what she wanted,
she didn’t hesitate to say she wanted the role in "The Palace Wall."
There was no other reason, except that she knew Hannah Winter had passed the audition for the lead role.
If this had been in the past, perhaps she could only grind her teeth in secret and harbor jealousy in her heart, but now with Jimmy by her side, she had the strength to confront Hannah.
A few instances of feigning weakness and playing the victim were indeed enough to coax Jimmy into snatching the lead role of "The Palace Wall" from Hannah’s hands.
Of course, she didn’t forget to belittle Hannah in the process.
The woman lowered her head slightly, her voice gentle as she touched the man’s heart, "Actually, our team’s agent originally found this script for me, and everyone said I was perfect for the lead role, but somehow... Hannah found out about it, so..."
She paused there as if holding back tears, lifting her gaze to look at the man seated in the wheelchair.
Seeing his displeasure and disgust, she knew she had achieved her goal. A slight smile played at the corners of her mouth, her voice carrying a pretense of strength as she continued, "As a member of a group, when Hannah passed her audition, I was genuinely happy for her, but... Jimmy, you know, I’ve loved acting since I was a child. It’s a pity that, in today’s market, it’s all about popularity, and no one would take notice of an insignificant actor like me, even if I have talent..."
"Jimmy, I’m really grateful to you, if not for you, perhaps I would never have had such an opportunity in my life... But if Hannah finds out, she might hate me. How about you arrange another role for her in the production?"
Tiffany acted as if she’d written herself a script on the spot, a classic entertainment industry story, where she’s the inspirational heroine oppressed by the malicious supporting female, enduring hardships and never yielding to evil forces.
Clearly, Hannah Winter is just someone who got in through connections and even oppresses me, but I not only don’t seek revenge, I even speak on her behalf.
See, how kind I am.
She knew it—impulsive and flamboyant men like Jimmy ate this up. She revealed a smile, looking weak and vulnerable, a soft affection in her eyes.
Jimmy didn’t pay attention to entertainment news, so he wasn’t familiar with Hannah. But through Tiffany’s description, he already formed an opinion of Hannah.
Probably as a woman who is jealous, petty, underhanded, and loves to be ostentatious, his aversion towards her grew even more.
