“What should we do about this matter then?”
“What did Amias say?” Eric asked. It was obvious someone had deliberately leaked the information and the culprit was quite obvious.
“Amias has asked Kaleidoscope for candidate recommendations. They are planning to hold secret auditions and replace Quenton at the right time. As there aren’t many martial arts actors, let alone famous ones, Amias has been put on the spot,” Luke explained. In reality, Luke also wanted to add that Amias’s ideal replacement was actually Eric himself.
Of course, he did not have the courage to tell him this.
“Does the old man have any suggestions?”
“He doesn’t either,” Luke shook his head, “Elder Roberts does not have any interest in the candidates for male lead.”
As long as the candidate did not interfere with his acting and torturing of Emma, Elder Roberts did not care.
“Make a phone call to Craig.”
“But, the madam has just completed a film with him. If they work together again, would the viewers be sick of seeing them together?” Luke was a little reluctant. After all, they had already filmed ‘W.H.’ together.
“In that case, let’s contact an artist from overseas and make it an international production! I’ll write down a few names in a minute and you can hand them to Amias. Once he has picked one from the list, I’ll contact them and see if their schedule is available.”
The main motive for Eric’s decision was to help Emma lay out a path to international stardom. Domestically, it wasn’t too hard to find an actor capable of fighting, but they weren’t very good at non-acting scenes. If they could invite someone from overseas to join the cast, it would be likely that they could help uncover Emma’s hidden talents. After all, international actors had more refined acting skills.
Quenton had no idea that the crew was preparing to replace him.
From the moment he decided on his vengeful plan, he should have expected this result. After all, all those that he offended were not simple people.
…
That night, after Emma prepared dinner for Elder Roberts, she originally wanted to head on set to film some scenes, but the old man waved his fan and said, “Don’t waste your energy. Quenton will be gone in a couple days.”
Emma furrowed her brows and turned to look at the old man.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know who started the rumors that are going around,” the old man lifted his bowl and chopsticks to his mouth to conceal his satisfied smile as he spoke to Emma.
“Does Amias plan on replacing Quenton?”
“Why should we keep such a disgraceful person around?” the old man scoffed. “If he had no influence, he should have been patient. Since, he has influence, he should have used this to protect the purity of the entertainment industry. When it comes to evil people like this, I will destroy every single one of them.”
“This is the charm of the Roberts Fam…”
“Huh?”
The old man froze for a second; he had almost exposed himself.
“Oh it’s nothing. Over the next few days, you are free to go film some scenes, but don’t stay up too late. You keep turning up every morning with a pale exp**ssion, who would want to look at a face like that?” the old man exp**ssed his dissatisfaction.
Emma nodded her head submissively as usual, “OK.”
In reality, the old man was hinting to her that Quenton was about to be replaced so she shouldn’t be so serious. She should get some rest and reserve her energy for the real male lead.
For someone as smart as Emma, she of course picked up on this layer of meaning.
So, she had a slight smirk on her face as she walked out.
Although the old man was indeed hard to deal with, he was doing it for her own good. He wanted to supp**ss her ego, in case the success of ‘Stupid’ had made her forget that she was still a newcomer. The timing of Elder Roberts’s appearance was just right.
After returning to the hotel, Emma happened to walk past Harlow. Their eyes met awkwardly, but Emma said calmly, “He hasn’t let go.”
“Sorry, since he made a move, I can only stand on his side. After all, he did this all for me,” Harlow replied. “Let me give you a word of warning Emma, I will gather fans to boycott you. After all, you have always been seen as a good wife to Eric, but this time…”
“…you’ve insulted your identity in the eyes of the fans…”
“Things aren’t going to go the way that you planned,” Emma gave a gentle laugh as she spoke to Harlow without a trace of panic or anger. Seeing this, Harlow started to feel doubtful of herself.
“Tell me, why are you always so calm, no matter what happens?”
“That’s because I know that evil will never prevail,” Emma laughed in ridicule. “At least, in my world, I have yet to come across anyone that’s done something bad successfully.”
Harlow could not see through Emma, but she knew that Emma had already seen through her.
When it came to intelligence, she would never beat Emma; not even in her next life. But, she refused to believe that Emma could overcome all obstacles. Everyone was bound to have bad luck at some point in their lives.
“I know Quenton’s actions aren’t beneficial to any of us. But, I will still give my all to protect him.” After speaking, Harlow left and Emma returned to her room.
It seemed, Harlow had not found out that Quenton was getting replaced yet.
Emma wondered: what was the point of challenging her, when in the end, they would be left with nothing?
That night, Lisa made a phone call to check on the situation, “What happened this time? What’s up with the old man? You’re such a magnet for gossip; as soon as something can’t be explained, you’re up there on the hottest searches.”
“Someone did all this on purpose…” Emma explained helplessly before she recapped everything that had happened on set. After hearing the whole story, Lisa was in an uproar.
“What’s wrong with your luck? Since the male lead and supporting actress are a couple, they will definitely try to kick you out of the cast. Why hasn’t anyone considered who would benefit after you leave?” Lisa sighed, “However, I’m already used to seeing you come across obstacles in everything you do. If nothing goes wrong, then you wouldn’t be Emma.”
“What has the director said about this issue?”
“They are looking for a replacement,” Emma replied.
“Are they replacing you?”
“They are replacing Quenton,” Emma laughed at Lisa’s high pitched response.
“Good…” Lisa breathed a sigh of relief. “If I wasn’t trying to get pregnant, I would be following by your side every day. What kind of assistant did Boss hire for you? She doesn’t seem to be handling matters seriously.”
