Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

"No! In my opinion, the most beautiful one would of course be you," Larry replied sincerely.

Eleanor frowned when she saw him. "Why do you look so familiar? I felt like I've seen you before somewhere."

Eleanor was very certain that she had indeed met Larry before.

"Him?" Veronica Murphy pointed at Larry. "He's a popular actor, of course, you've seen him before, but probably only on TV."

"Oh," Eleanor had an epiphany and nodded. "You're right. That's probably why you look so familiar."

"Now that you've met me, you'll be able to recognize me in the future." Larry put his arm around Veronica's shoulder and opened the door to the audition hall while telling Eleanor, "Miss Eleanor, come. Let me show you around."

The three of them entered the audition hall together. They saw a slender and beautiful girl performing a scene of extreme hunger.

The judges glanced at Veronica briefly and continued watching the actress's performance.

"You two can sit here and rest for a while. We'll call you later." Larry patted Veronica's shoulder and whispered, "Don't be nervous. With me around, I guarantee you'll be fine."

"Thank you," Veronica said.

"No need to thank me. You thanking me will shorten your life," he replied jokingly.

After saying that, Larry turned and walked to the judging panel. He sat down and started to watch attentively.

At this moment, the actress finished the scene and stood in front of the judges. She bowed and waited for their comments.

"Finished? What kind of acting was that?" A bald man sitting in the center of the judging panel adjusted his glasses and pointed at her, reprimanding her in a deep voice. "You were supposed to portray a poor child who hadn't eaten for two days. Although it was a non-physical performance, as a professional actor, how could you fail to do the basics?"

"It was overacted and lacked nuance." Larry summed it up concisely.

Another judge shook his head. "I only have three words—out of character."

As the actress listened to the judges' comments, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in them.

The bald man immediately pointed at her. "Now, your current state is much more realistic. It can evoke emotions and stir our emotions."

The actress, feeling unjustly treated, pursed her lips. She felt that the director was humiliating her so she retorted, "But I've never experienced being hungry for two days without anything to eat. I've tried my best."

"What is acting? Acting is a form of performance. You said you couldn't portray the feeling because you have never experienced hunger. Do those actors who act as murderers really have to kill someone to portray that kind of sensation?" The director was displeased, and he waved his hand. "Next!"

The actress covered her face in grievance and ran out of the audition hall crying.

After witnessing this scene, Veronica became anxious.
