Chapter 118

Maria's announcement drew everyone's attention. As they stared at her, they could barely conceal the smug look on their faces. Most of them were looking forward to seeing her make a fool of herself.

"Jay." Without beating around the bush, Maria called out the name of the lead actor.

“Yes." Jay nodded and stepped forward.

There was a look of rapt attention on his face, but it was just a facade; he was not truly as focused as he was when listening to Francis.

Either way, Maria didn't care. She just looked up and down at Jay, who was dressed in Richard's costume.

"As you know, the first time Richard and Anne met was at his birthday banquet. Despite being incomparably dignified, he fell in love with Anne at first sight. So when he meets her again under the laurel tree, he shouldn't just look arrogant and aloof as usual. There should also be a hint of affection in his eyes."

Everyone was taken aback by Maria's perspective of the scene.
