Chapter 571: He’s Not a Dog(Extra Story)

However, some things still troubled him. Tobias informed him that his fiancée, Charlotte, had confronted Aurora at the hotel, physically attacking her and hurling insults, calling her a homewrecker and a seductress.

Upon hearing this, Everett’s lips curled into a cold smile.

He had never cared much for women before. To him, marriage was all the same, so when his parents arranged his engagement, he simply went along with it, indifferent.

But at this moment, how could he just endure it?

"Charlotte really has some nerve... The Taylor Group is about to immigrate to Country Y, but that doesn’t mean I have to give them any face."

Everett turned to Tobias with an icy gaze. "Draft a statement. I’m calling off my engagement to Charlotte. My future wife must never be an arrogant, brainless woman with an overinflated ego."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Tobias was once again stunned. The Young Master had always ignored Charlotte, so much so that he had been too lazy to even break off the engagement before.

But now, because of Aurora, he had been making exception after exception.

The power of love was truly formidable.

A few days later, Everett’s statement was posted on his personal Twitter account, quickly making headlines as major newspapers and news websites picked it up.

Charlotte had even rushed to the company to confront Everett, but all she received was a cold rejection.

However, Everett had also made up his mind—he would no longer pursue Aurora, nor would he entangle himself with her any further.

He had indeed fallen for her, but for Everett, self-respect and dignity mattered more. Since she had rejected him time and time again, even going so far as to refuse him through Eric and Ella, then...

How could he lower himself like a stray dog, constantly lingering around her, making her feel nothing but disgust and irritation?

He was a man, not a dog.

Without Everett’s persistent pursuit, Aurora felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She no longer had to live every day on edge, nor did she have to see that flashy Maybach parked outside her building.

This was exactly what she had wished for.

Aurora decided to audition for a shampoo commercial. Her agent told her that several famous actresses were competing for the role, so she needed to give it her all and stay focused during the audition.

If she landed the commercial, she would receive a payment of one million. Although she had gained some recognition as a singer, competition was fierce.

Still, she was willing to fight for it. If she secured that one million, Alexander wouldn’t have to overwork himself anymore, and they could afford to buy a 150-square-meter apartment.

Once she earned ten million, Aurora planned to leave the industry for good.

After all, this was not a world she belonged to. If she didn’t quit entirely, she would at least negotiate with Eric to focus solely on singing—no acting, no social engagements.

"Aurora, get ready. It’s almost our turn!" her agent reminded her.

Aurora took out a compact mirror and checked her makeup. It was still intact—no need for a touch-up.

Today, she was dressed in a simple white dress with minimal embellishments. Her long, silky black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and the contrast between her dark hair and the white fabric only made her look more radiant. She effortlessly outshone the other actresses waiting for the audition.

Aurora had observed the competition. In addition to a few big-name actresses, there were also several second-tier celebrities trying their luck.

As a second-tier singer herself, Aurora knew that if the role were awarded based on fame alone, she wouldn’t stand a chance.

After all, she was competing against the likes of Savannah and Jaxon.

Savannah had risen to fame in recent years through historical dramas and had amassed a sizable fanbase.

Jaxon, on the other hand, primarily starred in idol dramas. She had an exquisitely beautiful face and a sweet smile, while Savannah exuded an air of cold elegance. As for Aurora, her beauty was ethereal and otherworldly.

Her agent also shared some unsettling news—Savannah’s boyfriend was the general manager of the shampoo brand, and on top of that, she was Charlotte’s cousin.

It seemed like the chances of landing this commercial were slim.

"Next auditionee, Miss Aurora, please come with me."

The director for this audition wasn’t the same one from LXL; instead, NJ Company had hired a professional commercial director, someone highly experienced in shooting advertisements.

NJ Company owned several top-selling brands, including Shampoo and Sanitary Pads. Their products consistently ranked number one in sales.

This time, they had developed a new clarifying shampoo specifically designed for people with dandruff issues. Since they were in the middle of a major promotional campaign, they had invited several female celebrities to audition for the commercial, hoping to boost the new shampoo’s visibility on television.

Aurora felt a slight tinge of nervousness as she followed her agent and Dominic into the audition room.

As Savannah, who had just finished her audition, swayed her hips and walked out, she cast a subtle glance at Aurora and said with a faint smile, "Miss Wilson, hello. I didn’t expect you to look even more beautiful in person than on TV."

"Thank you for your compliment, Miss Taylor. You’re also very beautiful and charming," Aurora responded evenly.

This woman was Charlotte’s cousin, which made Aurora wonder—would she hold any grudges against her?

For now, Aurora couldn’t tell. She could only hope that Savannah wasn’t the kind of woman who pretended to be sweet but had ulterior motives.

After greeting the director and the others in the room, Aurora noticed the director’s gaze fixated on her long, sleek black hair. He couldn’t help but praise her. "Aurora, your hair is absolutely stunning. I have a feeling your audition will turn out the best."

"Thank you, Director. I’ll do my best," Aurora replied with a poised yet polite smile.

She had secretly observed Savannah, Jaxon, and the other actresses. Many of them had deliberately straightened and dyed their hair black for this audition. Yet, she had a gut feeling that, among all the women present, her hair was still the softest and the most naturally jet-black.

The audition went smoothly. Several executives from NJ Company, including the marketing director, were watching from the sidelines. As Aurora’s audition concluded, they clapped and murmured their approval.

Once she left the room, the executives immediately began discussing the candidates. The majority leaned toward choosing Aurora—not because of her beauty, but because her hair was truly the softest and most lustrous.

The other actresses had over-styled and damaged their hair, making it lose its natural shine.

However, the final decision would still be made through a formal vote back at their office.

Aurora was in a great mood. Her agent also reassured her, saying she had performed well. They had been keeping tabs on the reactions to previous auditions, and the general consensus was that the other actresses’ hair didn’t meet expectations.

Aurora’s hair, however, looked the most natural. Since she had only been in the industry for a year and had only released one song—with no concerts or frequent social engagements—her hair hadn’t been over-processed.

After all, the more you style and manipulate hair, the more damage it sustains.

"This commercial is practically yours. Don’t worry. I heard they’ll make the final decision in a few days," her agent said confidently, beaming as they walked out together.

Aurora, feeling a little shy, responded, "I hope so... Shooting a commercial would be great."

At the very least, she really needed the money right now.

Dominic was also thrilled—if the celebrity she worked for started making money, her own tips and salary would increase as well.

But just as Aurora stepped out of the company’s front entrance, a soda can suddenly flew toward her, narrowly missing her.

A woman’s furious voice pierced the air as she screamed, "You whore! Stealing other people’s boyfriends and husbands—climbing your way to the top no matter what! You shameless bitch!"
