Substitute 63
Chapter 63 Such a Dirty Trick
“Heh…”
Luna suddenly sneered, “Nancy, you’ve surprised us. You even managed to defeat the Queen of Billiards in City Nustin. We really have underestimated you.
What!?
Nancy was taken aback, looking at Luna with utter astonishment. She had no idea how Luna knew about the drama that had happened last night.
She had a premonition, so she asked with a frown, “Luna, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?”
Luna’s expression became icy cold as she raised her hand and slapped it on the small table beside her. “Nancy,” she said sternly, “You said you want your father back, so stop showing off your talents while using Vivian’s identity.”
Nancy’s heart pounded with fear as she shook her head, “I’m not showing off! It just happened. And I can’t hide under Vivian’s name and act cowardly, right?”
Luna was struck dumb for a while.
It did seem to make sense.
Regardless of whether Nancy genuinely enjoyed competition, or was
considering Vivian’s reputation, her refusing to back down was beneficial for
Vivian.
But…
Luna’s voice finally softened a little, but it was still unkind, “That’s true. But. Nancy, it has gone viral on the Internet. Everyone is talking that Vivian has defeated the Queen of Billiards in City Nustin with pocketed balls from the beginning to the end, and even managed the difficult and impressive move of reversing the stick.”
“Director Jack Grant has called me this morning. He wants Vivian to be the second female lead in his new movie. And the role is the Queen of Billiards. What do you think we should do now?”
They wanted Nancy to make the decision?
They were making it difficult for her!
Nancy wasn’t a fool. She understood what Luna was implying. Luna wanted her to replace Vivian in Director Grant’s movie again.
Even though they needed her, Luna acted as if Nancy had made a mistake. Luna really knew how to play dirty!

Nancy felt that it was ridiculously funny, “Why should I be the one to decide? Vivian and I clearly agreed that she would return my father to me today, and we would switch back to who we are…
As she said that, she became serious, “I’m going to take my father away now. You must give him back to me!”
“Nancy!”
Lily was so angry that she slammed the table and made a loud “bang“. Nancy was scared by her mother. Her fear for her mother was rooted in her blood.
“Why are you so mad!? The drama yesterday was caused by you. Now someone invites Vivian to play a role. If Vivian turns it down, people will know she isn’t the one who defeated the Queen of Billiards in City Nustin last night!”
Nancy bit her lip in annoyance, “Vivian is a pianist. Isn’t it normal for her not to act in films?”
Even though it was clear that Vivian wanted to seize this opportunity to break into the film industry, she had to dress this fact up in noble pretense. Did she really consider Nancy as a fool?
At this point, Vivian, who had been quiet all along, gently pulled at Lily’s hand. As Lily turned to look at her, Vivian’s eyes turned red, “Mom, don’t be angry. What Nancy said is right. It won’t matter if I don’t participate in the movie. If anybody asks me about it, I’ll just say I wasn’t prepared to act and I felt bad for missing this opportunity.”
“How can this be your fault?”
Lily gently patted her hand, “Vivian, you are too kind–hearted. You always think
about your sister and never yourself. Let me tell you, this is a rare opportunity for you to break into the film industry. Once you become a top star, mom will be super proud of you.”
As Lily finished, she suddenly turned her head and glared at Nancy, “Nancy, whether you agree or not, you’ll do it. There is no room for negotiation!”
