LOVE OF A BILLIONAIRE Chapter 21-30


Chapter 21

“Just as expected Allen Jones’s woman, you are so magnificent!” Luna teased in purpose and sighed of relief. “We have enough evidence to prove that Daniel and Caroline are having a relationship. It’s up to you what you want to do.”

“We’re in no rush to publicize it yet. We’ll let the storm calm and let them be happy for now before we make our move. I’m thinking about ‘The Evening’ production right now.” Arya kept this matter in her heart, “I feel a bit sorry for Director Brown.”

Arya glowed brilliantly people can’t keep their eyes away from her. This was also the reason why Luna had always supported and followed her wholeheartedly. This woman would always be a distinct figure in the entertainment industry.

She looked delicate, but once she has made her mind up, no one can change her decision.

Luna blinked, “Arya, didn’t you know Director Brown has been looking for you!”

“Looking for me?”

“Yes, that’s right! My inbox is filled with e-mails from his assistant. It seems he isn’t angry with you and is interested in cooperating with you. I thought you knew … Oh, it’s my fault. I was too busy gathering the evidence.”

Arya’s eyes lit up, “Luna, can I trouble you to go over there and meet Director Brown on my behalf!”

“No problem, leave it to me.”

After separating with Luna, Arya went straight home. She didn’t expect Allen to be at home already. As she was changing her shoes, Allen hugged from behind before she could even turn around.

He just came out from his shower after doing a bit of exercise, so his hair was still wet. His brows were slightly furrowed, and lines on his face looked dignified. Seeing such a face would easily move any woman’s heart. His chin landed on Arya’s neck, as he was still hugging her from behind. “Why did you take so long …”

The overbearing and jealous remark made Arya smile.

She nervously turned around in his arms, cupped his face and said, “Mr. Jones, sorry I made you wait so long.”

She took the initiative and tiptoed up to give him a gentle kiss to compensate. novelbin

Her fragrance stirred up Allen’s mind. He held her by her waist and asked, “ Compensating?”

Arya’s eyes widened as she slightly raised her chin. Seeming to challenging him, she nodded her head heavily and said, “Yes!”

Allen’s deep eyes gazed on her face. He carried her up by the waist, then strode into the bedroom. As if he was holding a precious item, he gently laid her on the bed.

He caressed her cheeks, her hair, and her lips. As he drew closer, they could hear each other’s heartbeat clearly.

“You should know that the compensation is not even close to enough …” His hand was already slowly stroking her leg.

While in a daze, Arya could only hear the sound of their breathing being entwined …

“I know there is no woman who can make Director Jones wait. Since you made an exception for me, I am willing to accept my punishment.” Arya put her arms around his neck and slowly closed her eyes.

The more proactive she was, the more Allen appreciated her.

He knew that Arya’s willingness to let him dominate required a lot of determination and courage. The more willing she was, the more he wanted her to have an unforgettable memory.

He wanted her heart and her love more and more.

“Next time …” He lightly kissed her lips to calm himself down, “I’m going to have you all to myself… I know you need more time to be sure but I’m sure it won’t be too long.”

Arya lowered her eyes, “Oh Allen …”

This feeling lingered in Arya’s heart for a long time.

Stroking her hair, Allen was slightly disappointed he couldn’t win her trust. He really wanted to destroy that sucmbag, Daniel for her, but he knew that she wanted to break that man herself.

“Let’s go downstairs. I have something to show you.” He stood up and taking away his warmth but Arya could tell that he was just as nervous as she was.

After going down stairs, she saw him standing in the open doorway of the room. “I had them arrange it. I am not sure if you like it or not.”

Chapter 22

When he opened the door, it was full of shoes and clothes.

“Since you’re going back to the entertainment industry, you will need these essential items.”

Arya was stunned. “These are all for me?”

“Yes.” As Allen said this, he turned on the light in the inner compartment. The dazzling jewelry shone under the light, causing people to become dumbfounded.

“This room only has one owner and that’s you.”

His words touched Arya’s heart.

“Thank you …”

Allen put his arm around her shoulders and smiled, “I have faith you will succeed.”

She will once again become the brightest star in the night sky that people will witness her beauty.

And that goal would be achieved through her terms and ability!

Daniel demanded his PR team to work through the night. Finally, they were able to control any further development of the situation and protected the image of Brilliant Entertainment. Even though there were still people online discussing the scandal between him and Caroline, it was a trivial matter.

However, due to Arya’s courage attitude at the press conference, more and more and attention and respect was paid to her on the internet. Some netizens even formed their own fan club and posted their

support for Arya to return back to film industry.

The investors didn’t care about public opinion and insisted that Caroline would play the role of Jane. However, due to strong demand from the Directing Team, it was adamant the second female lead is Arya.

They had sent people to Brilliant Entertainment to discuss the cooperation for Arya, but Daniel had an excuse to refuse every way he can.

“Arya has been dormant from acting for more than two years. Are you sure you want her to be the second lead actress?”

“Yes, these are the Directing Team’s requirements, and we believe Miss Morrison’s ability, she will definitely be able to play the character” The assistant director continued, “This is the contract. Director Parker, please arrange Miss Morrison to enter the film crew as soon as possible.”

“Perhaps you change the character to a cameo instead?”

Daniel didn’t even want to know Caroline’s reaction would be if she heard the news. In his heart, he hoped that Arya wouldn’t return to the screen. If she did return, it would be even more difficult to control her. novelbin

“The decision is final by the Directing Team. Also, if Miss Arya does not want to participate, it is very likely that Miss Caroline’s scenes will be deleted. I hope Director Parker will consider it carefully.”

Daniel gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. It is what it is.

Just when Daniel wasn’t sure on how to deal with the matter, Luna received a copy of the contract, “Don’t worry, Director Brown, I will definitely convince Arya to take this role. Regarding what happened in the past, she had always wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it. The play is easy to handle.”

After hanging up Director Brown’ phone, Luna was extremely ecstatic.

“Arya, this is Lady Luck looking after you!”

Arya leaned back on the sofa and looked out the window. She calmly made a sound of acknowledgement. She was expecting this to happen.

“It’s not going to be that easy. Caroline will definitely cause a commotion when she heard the news.”

“That’s true. In order to keep Daniel to herself, she even tried to get pregnant. But now you stole the limelight. It just happens you are playing the second lead actress and you have one-third more than her senses in the movie. She would definitely be annoyed.”

“The more annoyed she is, the better it will be for us.” Arya replied with confidence. She had already mentally prepared herself. No matter what Caroline does, she would remain calm.

The screen of her phone lit up. It was a message from Allen.

“Work hard, Mrs. Jones.”

Chapter 23

Arya smiled in happiness. To have someone like him who fully supports you and believes in you, she was not afraid of anything.

Even Dahua Entertainment had received the news, the matter as of now was confirmed. novelbin

What was left now depends on what’s the next action Daniel would take in order to protect Caroline.

As Arya had predicted, when Caroline found out about the news, she had to do something as she simply was unable to sit still. She ran straight to the company from the hospital, she needed an explanation from Daniel.

She had used everything she had to deceive this man’s love, she was absolutely not going to let Arya wreck up her plans.

“Miss Caroline, CEO Daniel is in a meeting.” The secretary said while she stopped Caroline in front of the office door.

It was announced that she was hospitalized and recuperating; Caroline had to play the part and came to the company with a bandaged hand. “There is something urgent I need to discuss with him!” She shouted through the door, “Daniel, come out here now!”

“Caroline!” Daniel heard a voice and opened the door, “You should be in the hospital now, what are you doing here!”

“If I didn’t come back now, Arya will be robbing us of everything!” Caroline ignored everyone and hugged onto Daniel tightly.

Daniel had no choice but to adjourn the meeting early. Daniel closed the office door and had his assistant guarding outside, “I’ve already made an appointment to see Arya and Luna. I will advise her to give up the role as her own choice, that way Director Brown cannot argue back.”

“You make it sound so simple, she will clearly oppose your advice and she wants you to give up on me! This is her plan from the beginning; she had set up it meticulously to destroy me!” Caroline gritted her teeth in anger. She didn’t hide her disgust towards Arya in front of Daniel.

“Alright, don’t say anymore. If someone heard what you said, what will happen then? I know you feel wronged, but I have always been on your side. Don’t worry; I will help you get more scenes, what’s the difference between the second leading role and a supporting actress!”

Caroline snorted. “If her comeback is successful, with her influence as a Best Acclaimed Actress, will she still you as important anymore? When that happens, she’ll definitely give you the boot.”

“Arya wouldn’t do that.” Even though Daniel said that, but deep down he wasn’t so sure.

Arya’s way of doing things has not been her usual self lately so there was some logic in what Caroline had said.

“Daniel, since she’s still in the company, why don’t you persuade her to give up this role and wait patiently for you to marry her? That would say to be a good wife?” Caroline continued to persuade him.

Knock Knock Knock.

Hearing the knocking sound, Daniel let go of Caroline’s hand and took some distance between him and Caroline, “Come in.”

“So CEO Parker is having an important meeting with Miss Caroline?” Luna walked in with Arya and said sarcastically when she saw it was only two of them in the office.

Daniel and Caroline looked at each other and were just about to give them an explanation when Arya sat on the sofa with a blank expression. She no longer had any feelings for Daniel anymore, but this battle wasn’t over yet.

Chapter 24

“Luna, Daniel did it for the company. Well, the news said, you and Caroline are innocent, aren’t you, my fiancé?” Arya said in a cold tone while looking at Daniel.

“Yes, of course!” Daniel quickly sat beside Arya, “Arya, think of it this way, that you are my biggest support. I’m very lucky to be able to marry you.”

Arya sneered deep down as she kept a distance from him. She gave Luna a glance.

“Here is the contract Director Brown sent over. Arya already signed it, all that’s left is for CEO Parker to seal the deal.” Luna threw the contract onto the table in a domineering manner. Seeing this happen, Caroline gritted her teeth with hatred.

Daniel was stunned, “You are really going back to acting? Arya, I don’t agree with you on this.”

Arya said, “Oh really? What’s your reason? Are you afraid that I’ll steal Caroline’s limelight? I really want to know who is your fiancée and who is an outsider here.”

She casually looked at Caroline, but this made Daniel panic.

“Arya, stop joking around!” He put on a stern face. “We are going to be married soon. If you go back to acting, doesn’t that mean you are giving me up? Are you sure that is what you want?” novelbin

Caroline added, “It’s only the second female lead. They clearly don’t think that highly of you. Arya, don’t let them take advantage of you. It’s better for you to refuse the role.”

According to Caroline, as long as Daniel was on her side, Arya would reject the role. After all, because of her, Daniel failed to keep his many promised to Arya. This time would not be an exception.

Even Luna could not stand their collaboration.

“CEO Parker, don’t forget you also signed Arya as an actress for the company. Aren’t you a bit biased doing this?”

Caroline snorted. “What do you know?” Then she on the other side on Arya, picked up the contract, “This kind of contract is one you don’t even like, right? The role doesn’t even match up with your status as the Best Actress. Arya, just tell them that you won’t …”

“Are you my agent? Who are you to decide what work I take on!” Arya stood up. Sitting in between them was making her sick.

She asked coldly that her voice echoed in the office, “Daniel, let me ask you straight, are you going to let me act in this film?”

Caroline retorted furiously, “You’re just jealous of me and want to overshadow me.”

“Miss Caroline, I am talking to my fiancée. If you say one more word, I’ll use my identity as the CEO’s wife of Brilliant Entertainment to kick you out!” Arya said in a cold office. She would not tolerate her attitude any longer.

“You …” Caroline was shocked to being speechless. Arya never treated her like this before.

Daniel frowned as he saw Arya’s expression. Arya, in all these years with him, he has never seen her loose her temper like that. This emotion made him feel very uncomfortable. This will not look good if he lets this continue. He picked up the contract paper from the table, “No need to say anymore, I will properly think over this matter and let you know my decision tomorrow at the earliest.”

Arya nodded in agreement.

“I’m not feeling well, so I’ll leave first!” Caroline said deliberately as she quickly walked out, looking extremely furious.

Daniel kept his eyes on Caroline’s back as she left. Arya saw the expression on his face. Why was that, she had not notice his eyes were already on someone else before?

Fortunately, she has woken up and was clear on what she needed to do.

Getting this role was only the first action to take place.

In the past, she was used and taken advantage by others but now things have changed. She was not the naïve little girl she once was.

“You must be busy. I’ll be leaving too.” Arya did not want to stay in the same room as Daniel.

“Wait a moment” Daniel took out the cease of contract he had prepared, “About the rumors and exposure, I’ve never investigated it out of respect for you. But if you insist on taking this role, then let Luna go.”

He gave Arya an ultimatum, he had to control her.

Since the day Luna admitted she made his private life public online, Daniel wanted to get rid of her.

“Then …” Arya gave an awkward expression as though she was put in a dilemma.

Chapter 25

“If you give up on this role, I will reconsider giving her another chance!” Daniel smirked and placed the letter of cancellation in Arya’s hand. “The decision is yours; after all you know I care about you the most.”

It was his sweet talk that Arya had fell for before but to this day, his sweet talk no longer had any effect on her.

“Daniel, I care about you too, that’s why from now on Luna is no longer my agent.” Arya looked at Daniel. All that had happened is what she expected.

She walked Luna out of Daniel’s office, took a deep breath and said, “Luna, you’re no longer my agent, you can do whatever you want from now on.”

She handed the letter to Luna. Daniel chased after them and yelled, “Arya, what is this!”

It was because Daniel found a copy of the employment contract inside the contract, Luna had brought. It was a contract Arya wanted to employ Luna as her Special assistant.

The commencement date was today.

“Huh? Is there a problem?” Arya asked although she knew the answer. She held Luna’s arm and said, “I like working with Luna. After you sign the contract, I’ll be joining the film crew. Of course I need someone I’m familiar with to take care if me.”

“And Luna fits the position perfectly.”

She was driving Daniel crazy by the minute.

“Get in here!” He grabbed Arya but she dodged his grasp.

“If there is something you want to say, then hurry up and say it. I don’t have a lot of time; I have lots of things to do.” Arya being Allen’s wife already knew she needed to keep her distance from other men.

The calmer Arya was, the angrier Daniel got.

“I thought you were ignorant but I didn’t expect you to be irrational. What right do you have to employ her?”

“Don’t all the artists have the right to choose their own assistants? Why is it such a big deal when I want to hire an assistant? If Caroline wanted an assistant, would you have gotten so angry?”

“Arya!”

Daniel yelled out her name.

“You don’t have to yell, I can hear you perfectly. I have put my efforts genuinely to what I have achieved to now. If you are disagreeing to my second female lead in ‘The Evening’ and me employing Luna as my special assistant, at least give a reasonable excuse to convince me instead of yelling at me in from of your office.”

“You have changed, you weren’t like this before!”

“Am I the only one who’s changed?” Arya’s heart no longer ached as it did before. Seeing Daniel act so hard in this matter was a joke.

Daniel frowned, while he gripped the contract tightly, “I don’t want to marry a woman that is a stranger to me. We will have the marriage register extended indefinitely!”

He had used this to threatened Arya many times.

He purposely made a regretful expression while he waited for Arya to breakdown and admit that everything she had done was out of pretense.

The corridor area where they were standing became still.

Arya looked melancholy at Daniel as if she was thinking.

Just when Daniel thought he succeed in Arya backing down, she said coldly, “Alright, that’s fine with me!”

Daniel was completely stunned with her response.

He thought he had misheard her and grabbed Arya’s wrist very hard “Did you not hear what I just said? I’m talking about our marriage!”

“There is nothing wrong with my hearing, I heard you loud and clear. Since you said you don’t want to marry a stranger and wish to postpone the marriage register, what can I do other than agree?” novelbin

Arya’s reaction was quick and decisive. Staying away from Daniel was her best choice. She did not regret what she decided and said today.

Chapter 26

Luna snorted and followed Arya to get in the elevator.

Daniel noticed the change in Arya, but he didn’t have time to understand what had happened as he was in a hurry to comfort Caroline. Daniel believed after some time Arya will be back to her usual self and give in.

This was because he always thought Arya was at his back.

What he didn’t know was Arya had woken up and has a clearer mind. To cry a river for him? He wasn’t worth it!

Being the weak Arya only existed in the memories of the past. She already had Allen’s affection so she didn’t need anything or anyone else.

“Arya, is everything alright?”

Luna had seen her compromise many times for Daniel and worried that she would fall for his lies again.

“Does not everything look fine?” Arya’s eyes looked very calm, she didn’t take the squabble just not with Daniel seriously, “I am seeing things clearly now. To Daniel, I was just a pawn for him to use as he pleases. I won’t feel sad because of them anymore.”

She has already given her heart to Allen.

“Alright, I’m relieved after hearing you say that. I think Daniel won’t dare to not sign the contract. I will meet with Director Brown tomorrow again to discuss the details.”

“Okay, Luna. I know I can trust you to handle things without any difficulties.”

Arya smiled sweetly. Since her debut, Luna had always been there, she was loyal to her and helped her settle issues countless times.

After they went their own ways, Arya found herself in good spirits. She took a taxi to Dahua Entertainment and stood at the entrance of the building, hesitating. Her marriage with Allen had yet to be made public, so was it a little inappropriate for her to suddenly go to his office?

Not sure how to explain her visit to the reception at the front desk, Arya sighed. She suddenly regretted her decision for going to the office. Turing around, just as she was about to leave, a familiar and domineering voice called out from behind her. “Stop right there!”

An assistant noticed Arya upstairs and informed Allen.

After all, a beautiful woman like Arya would be easily recognized.

While she turned around, he frowned a bit and walked towards her. In his hypnotic voice he asked “Aren’t you here to see me?” novelbin

“I am …” Arya subconsciously opened her mouth, then shyly lowered her head, “I wasn’t sure how to ask to see you. I mean how to ask to see you. I mean, you are the CEO of the Dahua Group and we …”

She felt lost; she didn’t know what to do.

“You never thought of this when you proposed to me?” He asked without hiding anything, which made Arya embarrassed instantly.

“I …”

Her reaction was exceptionally cute. Allen dark eyes was attracted to Arya, so he turned to Martin and made a decisive decision. He ordered, “Postpone tonight’s dinner.” He then took Arya’s hand and led her to the car.

“Am I bothering your work?” Arya blinked in surprise, still holding his warmed hand.

“Dummy, of course not …” Allen let the driver stay behind and he drove the car instead “Besides, I also wanted to see you.”

It seemed they were thinking the same thing.

Arya was bewitched by his words and his side profile, especially when he had a faint smile.

Arya indulged herself at looking at the man beside her, not wanting to miss any expression he gave. After driving for a while, Arya asked, “Where are we going?”

Instead of answering, Allen reached over, held Arya’s hand gently and said, “You’ll know when we arrive there. There’s still some distance to go. You should rest a while.”

“Hmm” Arya agreed. Being with him, she was absolutely at ease.

Chapter 27

The car stopped near the port by the river. The wind blew Arya’s long hair and skirt, her face was flushed by the night wind. Allen saw Arya’s face, he took off his jacket and draped it on Arya’s shoulders.

“Mrs. Jones, please step abroad the yacht.”

Arya looked up at him and she held onto his outstretched hand.

“I didn’t realize the scenery to be so beautiful at night from yacht.”

The stars shone brightly on a clear dark night like a glittered curtain. Leaning against the railing, Arya enjoyed the night.

As the jazz music played inside, the music echoed throughout the yacht. Allen stood next to her and frowned slightly. “It’s not enough.”

“Huh?”

Arya looked at him in astonishment. The next second, he embraced her and then fireworks shot into the air surrounding the night sky. She was drawn to the man’s gaze in front of her.

“I want you to remember this evening, and I want you to remember me.” His affection was deeply imprinted in Arya’s heart.

Arya smiled and gently rested her head on his chest. “I will cherish tonight in my heart.”

His domineering attitude, his care and thoughtfulness and his lingering kisses.

They gazed at each other with admiration and appreciation.

Allen, wait for me. I will definitely be in a position to stand next to you, side by side.

In Allen’s heart, he too, was also looking forward to that day. He also wanted to see what his little wife had in store for those scumbags.

While Arya was enjoying the wonderful evening, Caroline was at home, angrily throwing things around.

To be in ‘The Evening’, she had put so much effort. Why did Arya have the opportunity to be offered the second female lead? Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. This situation happened because Daniel still cared about Arya.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Caroline turned around, looked at Daniel with teary eyes and asked “What are you doing here?”

“Of course, I’m here to see my darling.” Daniel presented her a beautifully wrapped gift box. “This is the necklace that you like so much last time, try it on.”

“I don’t need more necklaces, I have enough of them!” Caroline wasn’t appreciative. She knew this was Daniel’s way trying to appease her.

“Then what is it you want? I’ll buy it for you right away! Even if you want stars in the sky, I will get them for you.” Daniel said as he hugged Caroline and placed a kiss on the side of her neck.

“You know exactly what I want!” Caroline snorted. “Everything Arya did was to indicate that she will steal you away from me!”

“Idiot, I’ll always be yours. Don’t let your imagination run wild; it’s not good for baby.”

Daniel patted her back gently. He was oblivious that the woman in his arms had plans prepare to embarrass Arya.

Everything would have been alright if Arya had not accepted the second female lead. Since she had accepted the role, Caroline was not to let this go. After all, she was much more popular than Arya. It would be a piece of cake to create problems for Arya.

After all Daniel had no choice but to agree to Arya’s role as the second female lead, Arya was invited to the film crew’s opening ceremony.

“Arya, I’ve arrived.” Luna parked the car in front of the villa and saw Arya walking down the stairs wearing a simple sports coat. She frowned immediately, “Is that all you’re wearing?” novelbin

“Uh-huh.” Arya took a look at her attire. The dress looked relaxed and natural; she didn’t see there was anything wrong with it.

Coincidentally, Allen walked out and overheard their conversation.

“Come with me.” He gently took Arya’s hand and walked into the walk-in wardrobe that was specially designed for Arya.

“Don’t you like any of these? I’ll have someone arrange them again to your style.”

Chapter 28

“No, the cloths here are all beautiful, it’s just that I don’t want to stand out too much and be a show off.” Arya quickly explained.

Allen frowned, “With a beautiful face is already enough to stand out. It doesn’t matter what cloths you wear, it will only enhance your looks. Your stunningness can’t be concealed.”

His words had bewitched charm in it. Arya blushed slightly, “Since Director Jones thinks so, how about you choose one for me?”

Arya suggested me without thinking too much but she didn’t expect Allen actually choose a dress for her. He picked a beige shoulder revealing dress with exquisite diamonds inlaid from the collar to waist designed by the foreign JUDI designer.

“Try this on.”

Arya put on the dress obediently. Her attitude had a quality improvement when she matched her cloths with the white high heels.

“Stunning!” Allen chose a silver necklace for her. Her overall look made Arya gracious.

“I didn’t know director Jones had such a good taste!”

“I have a good test because you are beautiful.” His eyes moved slightly as he pulled Arya to his embrace. He gently lifted her chin and kissed her.

“I lose my cool with your beauty. I don’t want to go to the company. Perhaps we …”

Like a flower in full bloom, Arya’s face blushed faintly as she accepted his kiss pleasingly.

“You’re the CEO of Dahua, you can’t …”

Allen’s hand brushed her long hair, restraining the desire in his heart. He reluctantly said, “Then I’ll see you at home tonight …”

“Okay” Arya replied with genuine happiness in her eyes. She hugged Allen’s arm and walked out of the villa together.

The two of them were match made in heaven. One was beautiful and the other was handsome. Arya’s tranquility with Allen’s tyranny was definitely a masterpiece by the heavens!

Luna could not help but exclaim, “What a perfect couple! If there was a script with both of you as a couple that would definitely be a blockbuster.”

“Let’s go.” Arya smiled radiantly as she got into the car.

They went to the ceremony and once the paparazzi heard the news, they rushed over.

Before Arya could get out the car, paparazzi surrounded her car, “Arya, you have been dormant for two years, why are you making a comeback now? Does it have anything to do with Daniel Parker?”

“How is your relationship with Caroline? Now that you both are in the same production, will it be awkward?”

Arya waved to the reporters and walked towards the hotel entrance. She didn’t answer any questions the reporters threw at her. This was the movie queen’s demeanor!

Her grace and elegance were especially pleasing to the lens and attracted everyone’s attention.

After meeting with the film crew one by one, Director Brown walked to Arya, “Welcome to the team.”

“Director Brown, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will try my best to portray the character.”

While Arya met with filming crew, in President’s office of Dahua, Allen didn’t want to take a risk so he issued an order, “Arrange some body guards and protect Arya secretly and prevent anyone suspicious in proximity to her!”

He knew better than anyone what was going on the showbiz.

For some people, Arya acting this role would become thorn to their side. novelbin

After Arya met with the director, she was about to take her seat when few actors questioned her sincerely, “She shouldn’t try to trick the film crew again, right? The last time she faked her identity and caused much problem.”

“Don’t talk too much. She is the fiancée of the CEO of Brilliant Entertainment, she has a huge backer! It would be easy for her to make someone disappear from entertainment industry!”

Close by, Caroline was watching the Scene with hatred, “Arya, so what if you are part of the film crew. You are still destined to be trampled by me!”

Chapter 29

Director Brown coughed as a sign to stop them from continuing talking further.

“Director Brown, this is my job. I’ll deal with it.”

Arya smiled gently and turned around to look at other actors. “Because of my personal reason, I sincerely apologize it affected everyone’s work.”

Her attitude could not be faulted. Everyone had seen the news online. Although the matter had yet to be given a full explanation, the fact is Arya’s reputation had been tarnished. However, it is also a fact that she stood up and took the responsibility which was satisfactory proof of her character and personality.

There were some actresses that deliberately made things difficult for Arya because they had received benefits from Caroline.

After hearing Arya apologize, one of the actress hurriedly choked, “What is apologizing going to do? Did you know because of what you did, several investors withdraw their funds? If it wasn’t for Caroline, Boss Evans would not have continued with investing in this movie.”

What they said was indeed the truth therefore; Director Brown and the other assistant directors were speechless.

At this moment, the entire production team was supported by Caroline’s sponsoring. If there weren’t other investments, then the screenplay would be reduced and the production would certainly suffer.

“That’s right. If I were you, I would take the initiative to quit and not cause any further trouble for the director and everyone! You’re such a nuisance.”

There was no room for Arya to retreat. Under these circumstances, the more she aggressively argued, the more they pushed her into the abyss so she decided to choose another method. She gave a gentle smile as she looked at the person who criticized her and asked, “So what you’re saying is, if I’m able to score the investment for the production then I’m qualified to join the team?”

“That’s right, if you …”

“I didn’t expect a professional actress like you would say such a thing like that. I admit that having an investor is very important, so does that mean anyone with money can be an actor? You must be responsible for what you suggest.”

For a moment, the entire audience was speechless and remained quiet.

The few actresses had a grotesque expression on their faces and could not be refute.

In the corner, there were a few applauses. Then everyone expect the few actresses applauded Arya’s words. novelbin

“Everyone is doubting me but it doesn’t matter. The production starts filming tomorrow. I’m inclined to use my acting skills to prove that I have the ability to stand here.” Arya stated confidently.

“If we say you don’t qualify, will you leave this production?” The actress continued to stir up trouble. If Arya was really to stay on the set, she would definitely retaliate against them.

“Sure.” Arya’s tone changed as she replied, “But if everyone is happy with my acting, I want you to apologize to me in front of everyone.”

This was Arya’s strength and confidence to face everyone’s doubt about her.

“Alright, deal!” The actors exchanged glances with each other and quickly left.

Arya walked over to Director Brown and said “I was too impulsive just now …”

“No, you have grown more mature than three years ago when I saw you. I’m looking forward to your performance. It’s almost time to leave now. We’ll officially start filming at eight o’ clock tomorrow!”

Arya and Luna looked at each other and took the script with them to the hotel. Arya patiently study each scene with extreme focus since everyone was doubting her.

The next morning, no matter where Luna searched, she couldn’t find Arya’s dress. “I left it here yesterday!”

Arya walked into the dressing room and smirked, “Could a thief broke in?”

Luna frowned and ran out. In the hallway where the rubbish bin was, she found the expensive dress designed by JUDI.

“I’ll hunt down those scumbags!”

“Luna.” Arya grabbed and stopped her, “Forget it, it’s not the first time we’ve encountered this situation before. I just feel bad for his good intentions.”

In her eyes, regardless whether the dress was a limited edition or not, what mattered was the great care Allen took choosing this dress for her!

Chapter 30

“I’ll find someone to see if it can be restored to its original state.”

Luna hurried and left. Arya saw an incoming call on her phone. It was Allen.

“How is work? Going well? The weather forecast says it will be a bit colder later, take of yourself.”

Arya smiled faintly and replied, “No, there was some issues but I will deal with it.”

She put the phone in her bag and walked back to the set. novelbin

On the other side of the phone, there was a coldness in the man’s dark eyes. Tapping his fingers on the table, he said, “Go order lunch in Arya’s name and deliver it to her.”

“OK, Director Jones.”

Although he could not interfere with her plans, he could not neglect her. At the very least, he wanted to let others know that Arya had someone protecting her from afar.

After Arya had makeup on and changed her cloths, Caroline arrived.

“I’m sorry for being late, director. I just got discharged from the hospital, I wasn’t feeling well.” She explained as she held her forehead, looking very tired.

Director Brown looked at the schedule for today, then said, “There’s no scenes for you to do today, you can go back and rest.”

Caroline smiled and said, “I want to stay with everyone. You don’t need to pay attention to me, please continue.” Then she walked to her seat on the side to sit down.

Arya ignored her completely as she quietly sat on the bench, waiting for the director’s instructions.

When the actors saw how calm Arya was, they mocked her and said, “She is not even reading the script. Who knows how many mistakes she will make in a short while.”

“She’s properly already prepared to quit the production.”

After a short discussion between the Director and Assistant Director, Director Brown yelled into the loudspeaker, “Everyone get ready. First scene, shoot the scene when Emma enters the mansion.”

He glanced at Arya, who was already prepared was in position, “No problem, right?”

Arya made an OK gesture with her hand. Her expression was very calm. After the director finished his instructions, her expression immediately went into the character.

In front of camera, she seemed to have become a complete different person. From excited to nervous, also a little shy, portraying the second female lead, Emma, very well.

As she knocked on the door, she lowered her head and smiled. After opening her mouth wide, she stepped back two steps before stepping forward again. Just as she was about to knock again, the door opened suddenly.

When she saw the pavilion inside, her surprised expression was distinctly visible.

“From now on, will I be staying here?” Her eyes showed her inner excitement as she stepped through the door.

The director checked the scene, was very satisfied then shouted, “Cut, it’s done!”

As expected, Arya still lived up to his expectations. After working together after three years, the movie queen’s radiance hadn’t faded at all.

The film crew all nodded in satisfaction. With one shot, she was able to portray the character so well. Arya’s acting was too perfect. Next, Arya had two more scenes and in one of the scenes, she gave a long dialogue which again made no mistakes.

Towards the end of the scene, her teary eyes made everyone praise her in admiration.

It wasn’t until the director shouted ‘Cut’, she resumed her normal and quite demeanor. This was definitely a textbook performance.

“Did you see her recite her lines?”

“No, I didn’t see her bring the script over. She memorized all the lines? That’s impressive!”

“As expected as a movie queen award winning actress, if she hadn’t retired, who knows what her worth would be as a famous celebrity?”

On the other side of the phone, Caroline was enraged when she saw Arya’s performance. She wanted to act on her anger but on the second thought, she decided to be patient. After all, since she was in a production team with Arya, there would be plenty of opportunities to torment her. She would ensure Arya wouldn’t have a peaceful time, “Just you wait, I have someone in production so wealthy supporting me, you are just a clown who can act!”
