Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Changing Actress
In the program, the male host said mysteriously to the hostess, "Do you know there is a piece of big news recently?" The hostess immediately asked in cooperation, "What is it?"
"Oh, you are really unaware. Do you know about the forty million dollars investment that America and Korea put into the big production of The White-Love-Song?"
"Sure, I am looking forward to it very much."
"We just got the latest news, the secondary supporting actress of The White-Love-Song, the experienced actress Zoe Anna, has been replaced!"
The hostess instantly covered her mouth, "Oh my god! The filming is almost over halfway done and it suddenly changes actresses? There will be many shots that will need to be re-filmed. If there is not a serious problem, no filming group would be willing to burden such a loss! I am curious about what happened."
"You are right. Changing actresses when the filming process is over halfway done will have a great impact on the group. The reason is really worth exploring."
The two hosts talked for a while, but they did not say what the reason for the changing of actresses was and soon began to broadcast the next gossip. Edie did not listen to the following content and started thinking.
Was it changing actresses? Why would they change actresses? Edie was in a state of shock, it was only one day, and such a significant thing had happened? Edie was prepared to call the director to tell him about the situation. But she thought that the Universe Entertainment was the biggest investor of the film and it was a subsidiary to the L.N. Group, so Stuart should know about it.
Edie turned to asked Stuart tentatively, "Do you know about this?" She felt that she was a bit stupid for asking such a question. Stuart was in charge of such a large enterprise, and why would he personally engage himself in such a little thing of selecting the secondary supporting actress of a subsidiary?
Stuart nodded and said, "Yes." She was stunned, Edie did not expect him to admit it. She asked him with a troubled heart, "Why did you suddenly change actresses? When was it decided? I didn’t know about it!"
Stuart looked at her and said, "Since she tried to harm you, shouldn’t she pay for it?" Edie immediately understood, "You pressed the group?" Stuart did not speak, but it was a silent, yes.
Was it because Zoe had given her an aphrodisiac? Was Stuart...supporting and protecting her?
"If you change actresses now, all of the parts of Zoe that have been finished needs to be re-filmed. It will not only slow down the progress of filming but will also cause great losses to the Universe Entertainment."
"It doesn’t matter. Universe Entertainment has the best risk assessment, team. All losses are within the controllable range and will not have a material impact on the film." freēwēbnovel.com
Stuart knew the concerns in her heart and said carefully, looking into her eyes. Edie instantly had a complicated feeling in her heart. After her mother died, she had been fighting alone and never thought about relying on others. And no one had ever supported her since.
She suddenly felt that it was not empty anymore, and someone was supporting her and helping her. She would definitely use her own way to make Zoe pay for this, but she did not expect that Stuart would directly take action and admit without any hesitation, in his usual style.
There was a voice in her heart telling her that it was a bubble, and it was about to burst. She could not rely on him. They were only cooperators, and Aaron waiting for him. Edie bit her lower lip, "Stuart, you didn’t need to do it."
Stuart suddenly looked her straight into her eyes. His eyes were dark and deep, with the power to perceive people’s hearts and made others uncontrollably attracted to him. "As long as I am here, I won’t tolerate anyone or anything that may hurt you. The last time was my negligence, and I will not allow there to be a second time."
Looking at his eyes, Edie couldn’t refuse anymore. She stopped for a while and avoided the gaze of Stuart, saying, "I can protect myself. I am full. Please ask the nurse to come and clean up the tableware."
Stuart saw her evasiveness, and his eyes flashed with disappointment, but he did not show it. He nodded, "Fine."
At the same time, Zoe was in her apartment. She had also seen the program. After listening to the speculations of the two hosts, the expression of Zoe was very terrible. She tightly held the remote control in her hand, and her shoulders were slightly trembling because of fury.
Her agent was very dissatisfied with her, causing such a big problem, but she still scruples her emotions and said, "Zoe, why not stop watching the T.V. and turn it off? You know this kind of gossip programs will seize every piece of small news and overstate it."
Zoe angrily pressed the shutdown button. As the screen flashed, the room became quiet, but there was an embarrassing atmosphere since both of them were in a bad mood.
"Why?! Why me? It was Edie that acted like a bitch and the group actually changed me instead of her? Are they crazy?!"
The agent sighed. She knew Zoe’s arrogance, but usually, she didn’t care about her small daily conflicts. This time, she didn’t expect that she would really get someone so angry that she shouldn’t have.
"No one expected that Edie actually had such a powerful backup. We really can’t afford it. This time you have to accept the results."
Zoe immediately burst into anger, "Why? Who is she? It is the same as before. I have signed the contract and taken the photos in makeup and costume, but I am simply changed! Once again they bully me. Do they really think I am a vulnerable person?"
The agent roughly heard that the backup of Edie was Master Yates from the L.N. Group. Seeing that Zoe was so uncontrolled, the agent was very frightened and tried to stop her, "Zoe, you cannot say this kind of thing. You know who is backing Edie. If he hears about it, he certainly will not let you go." freёwebnoѵel.com
Hearing the name of Stuart, Zoe immediately remembered the feeling of the cold gun being pressed on her forehead, and her whole body became stiff. She didn’t want to feel the feeling of dying again in her life. Zoe was quite aggrieved and jealous in her heart.
Was there anything that she could be worse in comparing her with Edie? Why should Edie have such a backup instead of her? In the perception of Zoe, all should be blamed on Edie.
The fury and humiliation overwhelmed the fear, and she insisted, "She was just a toy of a rich man. How could Stu... Does Master Yates really pay attention to such a person? As long as we deal with her neatly, no one will ever know it was us."
When Zoe mentioned Stuart’s name, she was still afraid and did not dare to speak his name out loud. The agent frowned and looked at her, "Zoe, do you intend to fight back? Listen to me, this time is different from the past. Just hold on, and it will be fine."
Zoe knew that her agent would definitely disapprove of her plan. She secretly curled her lips and casually said, "Come on, I am just kidding." But her eyes were full of harmful light.
