“No, I want to continue. You were the ones that invited me here. You have no right to send me away.”

However, Eric turned around and left without glancing back.

“I will send you a contract cancellation agreement soon…” Qiao Sen notified. He knew that Eric had been tolerating Cate for a long time. Fortunately for her, she had only done a few physical tricks up until this point. But this time, she was stupid enough to insult Emma…

She was obviously digging her own grave. Mr. Roborts was the kind of person that could tolerate anything directed at him because he was tough on himself. But, it was impossible for him to see Emma suffer in any way. Especially when he caught someone insulting her.

Cate cried and screamed as she questioned Qiao Sen.

But, her manager completely abandoned her as she went off to pack her things and call their agency to report that Cate had screwed up and was being dismissed.

“Is this the way you bully actresses from overseas? I am going to sue you…”

She was welcome to give it a try. But, did she really think that Eric was a pushover?

Cate had been testing Eric’s bottom line for a while. She thought that Eric would continue to tolerate her. But of course, that would have been the case if she didn’t insult Emma.

“Director, the female lead has been dismissed. Should we continue filming?”

Qiao Sen let out a sigh, “Of course not. Go home and wait for my notification instead.”

After everyone packed and left, Cate finally thought of chasing after her manager. However, her manager boarded her car with no intention of letting Cate on.

“Cate, I’ve endured you for many years. Now, I can finally be free. You can go ahead and book your own flight back to France,” the manager said before she left.

“B*tch! Come back!”

Cate chased after the car, but her manager did not turn back.

…

Afterwards, Qiao Sen reported the entire incident to Emma over the phone, “Mr. Roborts overheard Cate insulting you, so this was the result.”

“OK,” Emma replied.

“Although Cate doesn’t have many scenes, replacing her means that we will need to start again. The biggest problem is, we don’t have anyone suitable for the role.”

Qiao Sen’s biggest worry was the fact that they hadn’t found a suitable actress.

However, at this time, Emma smiled and asked, “Since we have to find a new actress, why don’t we take this opportunity to change the script a little?”

“What are you suggesting?” Qiao Sen asked.

“I have an idea.”

It was impossible for Emma to act in the film because she was pregnant. But, it also didn’t seem right to hire another actress. At this rate, the film was to be stuck at a standstill. So, Emma had another idea.

But, while Emma and Qiao Sen were discussing the matter and figuring out how to deal with it, Cate stormed into the French embassy and completely blew the incident out of proportion.

Of course, the French embassy simply ignored her because she was obviously being unreasonable.

But…the issue got leaked out in the end. Although people within the industry had previously doubted Emma and Qiao Sen, they couldn’t believe that they still went ahead and decided to create a sci-fi film.

So, now that the female lead was causing a commotion, was Emma’s sci-fi dream still possible?

More and more people watched on in curiosity.

“Emma actually gave up being an actress to pursue an unrealistic dream. Has she been bewitched in some way?”

“Although I support Emma, the domestic sci-fi market is so bad that I don’t think it can be saved.”

“Just wait and see. They’re going to start off with the intention to film something completely produced by the domestic market, but they will end up using resources from Hollywood instead.”

“I hope Emma doesn’t go down a dishonest path like that…”

In the eyes of observers, Emma was likely using dishonest methods.

So, with Cate’s matter on top, no one was willing to believe in Emma’s sci-fi film. They thought she was crazy.

But, if Emma actually cared what others thought, she wouldn’t have started with the film and she wouldn’t have invested all her efforts into it.

So, while everyone was exp**ssing their doubts, Emma met up with Qiao Sen.

“Kaleidoscope will handle Cate’s matter. Meanwhile, I’m going to tell you my idea.”

“I think the backstory of ‘The Ant Queen’ can be changed…” Emma showed Qiao Sen a diagram that she sketched out. “Sci-fi films in recent years have long abandoned the need for a hero and a damsel. It’s such an outdated plot. I don’t think the film needs a woman.”

“Huh?” Qiao Sen didn’t quite understand. “Are you saying…”

“We can abandon the need for a woman, but we can add in a girl. We can tell the story of a father and daughter instead. It will give the film an extra degree of depth. Plus, films like this have already been successful overseas.”

“Moreover, this is a sci-fi film. If we throw a helpless little girl into the mix, the film will have more suspense and it will trigger the protective instincts of the audience and make the scenes appear more dangerous. I don’t think that having a girl in the film will be any less appealing than having a woman.”

“Most importantly, I’ve already selected someone suitable for this role,” Emma placed some information in front of Qiao Sen, “This little girl is called Coco Lee[1]. Because her father is Canadian, this little seven-year-old has beautifully mixed features. However, this is not the main point, the main point is that she is a true acting talent.”

Qiao Sen didn’t know how to react to Emma’s words. But, as business partners, Emma’s suggestion was indeed the best option for them.

So, after taking a moment to compose himself, Qiao Sen finally asked Emma, “How did you think of this idea?”

Emma had to thank Zichen, the little rascal.

A one year old child watching television actually helped his mother solve a difficult problem.

“This is like killing multiple birds with one stone. Most importantly, I don’t need to live in fear while selecting a female lead to play alongside Mr. Roborts,” Qiao Sen was still cautious around Eric.

“By the way, have you discussed this matter with Mr. Roborts yet?”

Emma nodded her head. On the night that she discovered this little girl, she had already mentioned her idea to Eric, “Did you think I was capable of doing all this on my own? Even if I did, it would have taken me a few days. But, for Eric, it only took one night.”

Eric wasn’t just powerful because he was smart. Most importantly, he was great at devising strategies.

There were many things that he didn’t need to do on his own. As long as he made proper arrangements, then everything would fall into place.

“So, are you saying that Mr. Roborts deliberately blew up the matter with Cate?”

In regards to this matter, Eric was truly angered.

[1]I’m aware that this name is the same as a real-life celebrity, but this is pure coincidence. The child’s name is Li Keke (Pinyin), but her father is Canadian, so I tried to make it more Anglo-sounding.

The little girl was indeed a true acting talent. From a young age, she already started appearing on television to help her father make money. But, this was, in essence, very different to acting in a film.

Even though Coco was born into a mixed culture family, in reality, she only had her father. Because her mother viewed her father as weak and useless, she ended up leaving him and marrying a rich businessman as his second wife. But, little Coco was very mature. As soon as her father realized that she had acting talent, she decided to help lighten her father’s burdens by working. As a result, she was now quite famous within the industry.

Emma was, after all, a mother. So, when she heard that Coco Lee was so mature, she couldn’t help but sympathize with the little girl. Hence, when they finally met, Emma subconsciously patted her on the head.

Emma would perhaps never forget the first time she met the little girl. Her eyes were especially big and clear and she had a certain determination to her.

“Although I’m thankful that Miss Miller has offered my Coco such a great opportunity, I’ve read through the synopsis of the film and don’t feel like she can handle it,” Father Lee patted his daughter on the head. “I am her father. I’ve already lost her mother, so I can’t lose her as well. That’s why I need to protect my daughter.”

“Coco, what do you think? Do you want to give it a try?” Emma looked down and questioned the seated little girl.

The little girl had a head of long black hair and an intelligent aura to her. After careful thought, she tilted her head and said to her father, “Daddy, I want to give it a try.”

“But, what if you get scared…”

“Daddy, you’re being silly. There are so many people on set. As long as there are people around, I won’t be scared,” Coco replied confidently. “Plus, I trust that auntie will protect me.”

Father Lee actually knew that his daughter was scared, but he was aware that she was trying to help him.

Because, in the past, he had been too naive. While running his own business, he was tricked by his friends and ended up with a huge debt.

“Fine then.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect her well,” Emma said as she handed Father Lee a contract. “You can ask a lawyer to analyze this contract for you.”

Father Lee had looked through plenty of contracts in the past because of his daughter, so he could tell that Emma was trying her best to take care of them.

“No need, I’ll sign it.”

Emma really liked Coco; it was hard not to like her.
