Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 371

Beatrice was hopping mad, shaking all over.

Her and Mamie? Never in the same ballpark.

Unless Agnes and Mamie had some sort of powwow, there was no way Mamie would go out of her way to ruffle her feathers.

Yet, Beatrice had no plans to hunt down Agnes.

Agnes might have already smelled a rat after last night's event.

Just in time, it was Beatrice's turn to be in the limelight the next day.

In the movie, she was playing the baddie.

She was a hot-shot newbie in the modeling world, having only one scene with Mamie, the lead.

Originally, the scene wasn't set for immediate filming.

But for some reason, the scene was fast-tracked.

The plot was at a model competition, Beatrice's character secretly scattered pearls on stage, causing the lead to trip. But the lead cleverly dodged the bullet, resulting in her taking a tumble.

However, in the middle of filming, the director threw in an extra scene.

It was about the lead's rise to power, to better portray the character's transition from a pushover to a tough cookie.

This new scene was about the lead finding out about Beatrice's character's scheme and slapping her.

Beatrice didn't overthink it.

After all, every second on film was precious, having more screen time should have made her happy.

Hamish had given Beatrice a role out of his regard for Laura.

But who knew, the moment Beatrice arrived on set, she started bragging about it.

As if getting Hamish's special favor was something to show off, as if getting a role through connections was some sort of talent.

Later, the news even made it to the papers.

Hamish had always been known for his seriousness and impartiality in the film industry, a renowned filmmaker.

He never dabbled in trades involving money, connections, or the body.

But now, his lifelong reputation was tarnished by this mother-daughter duo.

Even rumors started flying in the film circle, that Hamish's favoritism towards the Pritchard family's daughters was because of a past romance with Laura...
