Chapter: 395
“That’s not true, Mr. Anderson. I’d want you to read this script more carefully. The screenplay takes a
strange turn at the end that pays off wonderfully. As the ending of most mysteries can be predicted just
by watching the beginning, this one is like none of those. The unexpected turn of events is enough to
grab people’s attention.
The writing is excellent, which is unusual.” Vin, his cigar dangling from one corner of his lips, pointed at
the script and continued, “I’ve been privy to some insider data. There are now a large number of heroic
films available. The public is bored of them, and love movie is now unpopular, therefore many
individuals want to expand the market for mysteries to excite the audience. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have
convinced you to spend as much as you could to acquire this script.”
“Indeed, Mr. Anderson. The sort of story where minor characters play major roles is now popular. This
is the only way to arouse the sympathy and empathy of the audience,” Norton said. “Our firm has had
nothing but success with the mysteries we have invested in. Our success and reputation make us an
excellent choice for anyone looking to reinvent themselves in the entertainment industry.”
The revelation brought a scowl to Jasper’s face, and he said, “That means we can’t have Ariana film
this script!”
Ariana stormed out of SJ Entertainment, fuming. She initially planned to return to her apartment, but
knowing Tyler might need her help at any moment, she opted to take a taxi back to the hotel in the film
and television center.
Back at the hotel, she pondered for a while before deciding to call Theodore.
Despite their ongoing silent treatment, the script issue was related to the Anderson.
Group, and Theodore might be able to help.
Norton was clearly on Jasper’s side. Even though it was inappropriate for her to go straight to the CEO,
Ariana had no choice but to seek Theodore’s assistance.
She located the familiar number and dialed it.
However, his phone was switched off.
Was he still mad? Why was his phone off? Had he blocked her number?
Disheartened, Ariana called Horace, but received no answer.
Without further thought, she texted Horace, asking where Theodore was and informing him she
urgently needed to speak with Theodore.
The wait for a reply felt endless. Ariana grew increasingly anxious. Although only three minutes had
passed, it seemed like an entire day.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She eagerly picked it up, only to find it was a call from Sonia.
Why was this girl calling her out of the blue? Weren’t the paparazzi always swamped? Confused,
Ariana answered the call.
“Where’s your husband?” Sonia inquired bluntly.
Ariana, puzzled, responded, “I don’t know.”
“How long has it been since you last spoke?”
Sonia’s voice conveyed immense seriousness. Sensing something might be amiss, Ariana felt a wave
of panic. She considered the time that had elapsed and eventually concluded, “Three days.”
“shit! Three days! 1 knew something was off!” Sonia bellowed in a booming and intimidating voice.
“See what happens when you don’t keep an eye on your man!”
