Chapter 234
Although she knew that Lina would not urge her to pay back the money, she owed Lina enough already
and could not keep on accumulating her debt.
Over and over, Grace knelt, groveled, and got up... This repeated again and again.
The other extras became increasingly agitated as well as they knelt over and over again. Some people
even shouted for more money and that they should not trouble people like that.
The director saw the extras' mood getting worse and worse, so he sent the assistant director over to
ask Evelyn for her opinion.
Seeing this, Evelyn pretended to think before saying, “How about this? I think she did a great job. She
has a good posture, and her timing is right. Why doesn't she give a demonstration to the other extras
so that the others can watch and learn? Once they’ve observed how to do it correctly, they can practice
again. It’ll save us the effort.”
And, of course, Evelyn was referring to Grace when she said this.
"However, I don't know whether this extra is willing to demonstrate for everyone. After all, she will be
more tired than the others."
Evelyn looked like she had Grace’s best interest at heart.
"Why not? There's no problem if we give her more money for it." The assistant director was overjoyed.
After all, it was better to trouble one extra than the entire crew of extras.
If so many extras went on strike, not only would it be difficult to find so many replacements at once, but
it was also easy to cause a stir.
It was much easier to get one person to kneel and grovel.
The assistant director asked Grace to come forward and asked her to demonstrate for an extra 200
dollars. If she was unwilling to do it, she would be considered as breaching the contract. That would
mean that she would have to leave with no money.
And, no doubt, this would prevent her from getting other bookings. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Grace—not for the first time—was forced to examine her new life.
If she’d had her wolf, Eva would be rumbling beneath her skin and challenging Evelyn outright.
But instead, she was poor, alone, human.
What choices did she have?
She needed to help her grandmother. She needed to survive.
Grace looked at Evelyn who was standing only a few steps away. She found the smile on Evelyn’s face
offensive.
She knew that Evelyn was doing this on purpose. Whatever demonstration Evelyn requested for was
just to embarrass Grace. However, 330 dollars a day was a lot for her.
Besides, her knees had long been bent and she suffered plenty more humiliations in prison prior to this.
To kneel and grovel was better than physical torture.
Grace looked past the assistant director to meet Evelyn's gaze. Then, she slowly smirked and
affirmatively responded with four words, "All right, I’ll kneel!"
Grace ran up to Evelyn with a calm look on her face. She was neither sad nor happy. She calmly asked
Evelyn, "Shall I start the demonstration now?"
"Ah... Yes!" Evelyn answered, stammering a little.
How could she react differently than she had expected? Grace should at least be mortified or unwilling.
Only in this way could she feel proud and show off in front of her.
Now, however, Grace's deadpan demonstration of kneeling and groveling in a perfectly standard pose
left no room for error. This also left Evelyn entirely without any sense of triumph.
This situation made it seem like Evelyn was the embarrassed one!

Sitting in the air-conditioned room, Lily listened as her assistant described the situation of the shooting.
Her assistant even filmed Grace kneeling with her mobile phone and handed it to Lily to look at.
