At this mont, Victor King sent her a WeChat ssage.
Victor King: "Elliana, all the main roles for the new script have been arranged. Take a look, and if you’re not happy, I’ll rearrange."
Victor King: [link]
So quickly arranged, Victor King really is proactive.
She clicked the link and glanced over it. Tiana Harris was the lead actress, Joy Lyle was the second female role, Sumr Hue the third, ...
Andrew Hue was the lead male.
None of this surprised her. In the original, the male lead started as an innocent young lord and gradually grew through family disasters.
This would be a test of Andrew Hue’s acting skills. If he couldn’t do it, they’d have to replace him, so there was another audition in a few days she needed to attend.
As she read further, she saw an unexpected na.
Brian White was cast as the second male lead! She rembered she hadn’t finalized things with Brian White yet, right?
How did he get cast as the second male so quickly? It seed a bit fast.
Kitty: "How is Brian White the second male lead?"
After sending the ssage, the other party’s typing indicator lingered for a full minute.
Victor King must have been thinking about how to explain it to her.
Buzz~
Victor King: "Elliana, this was a decision I made on my own. Based on the interview, Brian White seems very promising."
Victor King: "Signing him is beneficial for the company’s future. There are currently very few people with such good acting skills. If you think it’s not right, I can change it."
What? He’s already been signed? So quickly?
It’s only been a day!
It seems July dia really lacks people, hence Victor King’s urgency.
Her hesitation was because Brian White’s acting skills were exceptionally good, and she suspected Brian White might be an undercover sent by Roland due to White Orchid’s involvent with Roland.
She didn’t quite believe Brian White’s layoff excuse, considering how young he was. How could he be a priority layoff choice?
However... there was no issue with Brian White playing the second male lead. After all, the second male was a classic tragic character, slightly deranged, which matched Brian White’s image perfectly.
Kitty: "Let’s wait and see, currently undecided."
She had to evaluate Brian White so more before accepting him easily, even if Victor King had already signed him up.
If there were problems, she could shelve Brian White.
Victor King: "Elliana, you need to decide quickly. Mr. Bennett has already helped us contact director Howard King. He can co to shoot by October at the latest, and we need to act fast to capture the dostic market."
She knew she shouldn’t hesitate in big matters, but this really required so hesitation.
Norman Bennett managed to contact a director for her, Howard King, whom she knew and was acquainted with. He had directed her first film. While his technical and aesthetic skills were comndable, his reputation wasn’t great.
It was said that he recently made money and went back to dabble in condints, using many precious ingredients, aiming to create the best condints. But due to high prices, people didn’t buy, and eventually, the factory failed, and he went bankrupt again.
Clearly, he was a film school graduate but was fixated on tinkering with a condint factory; who knows what he was thinking?
Kitty: "Okay, I understand."
After dealing with Victor King, she realized she was about to reach Vicars Hotel, so she told the driver, "Go to Green Laurel Bay."
Zane Bennett’s villa was in Green Laurel Bay. She needed to ask Zane Bennett about Sumr Hue.
She rembered because of checking WeChat. Andrew had been searching for a man with a scar over his right eye, yet had no results. Sumr Hue also hadn’t been in touch.
The good morning ssage she sent in the morning still hadn’t been replied to.
anwhile, she called Zane Bennett.
Zane Bennett was sitting on the company sofa, flipping through photos of Sumr Hue with mixed expressions of worry and smiles.
As he flipped through, his phone suddenly froze, then displayed a call from Elliana Lyle.
Zane Bennett’s expression paused, feeling odd. Why would Elliana call him? His heart felt slightly panicked.
After so thought, he decided to answer the call.
Upon answering, he grumbled, "Brat, what do you want?"
After all, she interrupted him from looking at his wife, so he felt a bit displeased, not to ntion a bit tense, hence the grumpy tone.
But on the other end, Elliana’s tone was serious, ignoring his attitude, and in a cold voice, she asked, "Where are you? I want to et you."
"I’m at the company. You want to et ? What’s up?" Because of Elliana’s serious tone, he also beca earnest.
His heart felt even more flustered, like a heavy stone hanging there, unsettled.
Because Elliana had never been serious with him, such an attitude definitely ant sothing was up.
Though he couldn’t clearly understand what it was.
Elliana simply replied, "It’s nothing, I’m coming to see you now."
As she finished, there was a drawn-out beep―!
The sound lingered as he stared perplexedly at the disconnected call.
Nothing? Then why et him?
This abnormal situation must an sothing bad.
After so thought, he turned to dial Norman Bennett’s number.
It took two calls to connect; he couldn’t wait to ask, "Hey~ bro, what’s up?"
A cold voice replied from the phone, "Talk."
Sure enough, it was his brother. If the other end spoke more words, he’d suspect Norman Bennett had been kidnapped.
"Bro, Elliana just called , saying she’s coming to see . She sounded urgent. Do you know what’s going on?"
Norman Bennett: "No idea."
"Um..." He was montarily stumped, unsure what to say, thought for a bit, then asked again, "Bro, what if Elliana cos looking for trouble? What should I do?"
The line went silent for a few seconds before his brother coldly replied, "You don’t have to hang up; just watch what you say."
Does this an? Surveillance!
Well, that was for the best. If Elliana ca, asking all sorts of questions, and he accidentally spilled sothing, his brother might turn on him right away!
After all... he had accidentally overheard a conversation between his brother and Raymond Wood and had been nosy enough to want to listen more clearly.
In fact, he did overhear quite a bit, but due to exerting too much force, he had pushed open an unlatched door.
Caught in the act.
Looking back, he regretted it. He shouldn’t have eavesdropped!
Oh well, whatever cos, cos.
He quickly got up and walked to his desk, rummaging in the drawer: "Bro, don’t worry. I won’t ntion a word to Elliana. I’ll put on my Bluetooth headset; you have to help out then."
Though he wasn’t easily tricked, Elliana was involved, and he knew there were things she shouldn’t know.
This might very well be why she was coming to question him, so naturally, he was nervous.
Soon, Elliana arrived in a hurry with a large group of people heading towards his office, enveloped in a dark cloud, leaving him stunned.
Elliana raised her hand, and only then did the bodyguards step back, waiting outside the door.
As Elliana turned to close the door, he quietly asked, "Bro, did you hear that?"
However, even after Elliana had turned around, he didn’t hear anything through his headset.
Could it be he didn’t hear? Helplessly, he loudly addressed Elliana: "Oh dear sister-in-law, nice to et you! Have you eaten? Please, sit, sit!"
