Chapter 526
“Sure. You can decide these matters. If you need money, let me know.” Ashlyn acted like her only job was to
provide money.
Thus, she trusted Greg completely to deal with the other matters.
Greg couldn’t conceal his delight upon being entrusted with the important tasks. He swore he’d make a great movie
with her support.
This was his only chance to redeem himself after years of struggle.
If I don’t grab the opportunity, I might have to live in the slums forever!
“Movie?” Lucas listened to Spencer’s report as a hint of confusion appeared in his gaze.
That very morning, he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Jonathan Quickton from his entertainment company in
the lab across him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, he saw Greg Maxwell, who was a washed-up director.
Spencer returned promptly after investigating the matter.
“Yes, Ms. Berry invested three hundred million in that movie.”
“Three hundred million? Where did she get that much money from? Did Jared give it to her?” Lucas furrowed his
brows. Money can solve everything, he thought.
He frowned and added, “Invest another three hundred million. Jonathan is under our company, after all. We should
support his movie.”
Previously, Lucas didn’t want Jonathan to be in Ashlyn’s movie as that young man was good-looking. He had to keep
him away from her.
But since Ashlyn insisted on carrying out the project, he must support her career.
I will support whatever she wants to do.
Thus, that very afternoon, Greg received three hundred million from Spencer.
He gazed at the cheque in shock before he called Ashlyn at once. “Ms. Berry, uh—”
Just as he was about to tell Ashlyn about Lucas’ three hundred million investment, Ashlyn cut in, “I’ve handed the
contract to my legal team. Is there a problem?”
She seemed very calm. Greg parted his lips and blurted, “Ms. Berry, let me explain.”
“Maxwell! There’s a problem with the props team! We need you there!” A staff member suddenly interrupted him
loudly. Greg had to swallow his words. “Ms. Berry, I’ll call you later. I need to go now.”
He hung up hastily and rushed over to deal with the problem.
He had his eyes set on Helena Uber, which was a rookie actress, and was contemplating casting her as the female
lead. The script didn’t have the usual romance elements. The female lead was the male lead’s assistant. When
everyone mocked and ridiculed the male lead, she was the only one who defended him.
That was because she grew up in a village. The villagers depended on a small river to survive. Suddenly, a paper
mill was constructed there one day. Its waste polluted the river. The villagers who drank the river water every day
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere eventually plagued with strange diseases. One by one, they started dying off.
Her relatives passed away one by one, too.
Hence, she gave her wholehearted support to the male lead’s ambition of protecting the environment.
This was a character with a well-written background.
Helena and the Angel and Devil production team had already released rumors about her being the female lead
although they hadn’t signed a contract yet.
When her manager told her Greg Maxwell wanted her to take on the female lead role of a country bumpkin who
ended up as an idol’s assistant, she immediately snorted in contempt.
“Greg Maxwell is nothing but a washed-up director. No one will support his movie! Not the audience nor the
investors!”
“I think so, too. Venti’s romance movie will be well-received by the market.” Her manager concurred. “Back then,
Greg was criticized so badly.”
“Yes, if I agree to take on that role, I might get criticized too!” Helena scoffed.
“Okay. I’ll reject the role on your behalf.” Her manager decided. “He won’t be able to find a popular male lead,
anyway. He’ll probably hire some influencer who is below your station.”
