At the auditorium, a crowd was already standing outside when they learned that the famous director Brewster Riley was coming to Skrix University to scout for talents.

In addition to the young men and women for the audition, there were a number of student onlookers wandering around outside.

Some were there purely to witness the spectacle and revel in it.

Others came with the idea of showing their faces in the hopes of being noticed by the director.

There was no harm in taking their chances. With a little bit of luck, they could land an opportunity of a lifetime.

Ivy was also there.

She was a junior this year, and although she was majoring in dance, she had her eye on breaking into the entertainment industry.

When she heard that Brewster was coming for a casting call, she came with a close friend.

The sight of the auditorium packed with people brought a grimace to her face.

"Really? Are all these people here to take their chances? If they bothered looking into the mirror they shouldn't have come."

"Right? But anyway, don't waste your time on them. You're the hottest girl here. I'm sure once the director sees you, the main role is as good as yours," her friend flattered her.

Ivy's chin went higher and she stood taller, gratified at the praise.

Some of the other girls overheard the exchange. They recognized Ivy, and couldn't help but sneer.

“Isn't it funny when the ones who call themselves high-class have worse breeding than ordinary people? Is she that desperate? She went as far as seducing a man at a banquet."

"People saw her naked! If it were me, I would have wanted to die right then and there. I wouldn't even dream of getting into show business."

"You guys don't get it. There are so many ‘actresses’ who are more known for displaying their bodies rather than their acting skills onscreen."

“That makes sense."

Soon there was the low sound of whispers among the crowd.

Talk traveled fast.

The incident at the Moreno family's reunion banquet half a month ago had already spread through the upper class.
