Chapter 526


    “Sure. You can decide these matters. If you need money, let me know.” Ashlyn acted like her only job


    was to provide money.


    Thus, she trusted Gregpletely to deal with the other matters.


    Greg couldn’t conceal his delight upon being entrusted with the important tasks. He swore he’d make a


    great movie with her support.


    This was his only chance to redeem himself after years of struggle.


    If I don’t grab the opportunity, I might have to live in the slums forever!


    “Movie?” Lucas listened to Spencer’s report as a hint of confusion appeared in his gaze.


    That very morning, he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Jonathan Quickton from his


    entertainmentpany in theb across him.


    Then, he saw Greg Maxwell, who was a washed-up director.


    Spencer returned promptly after investigating the matter.


    “Yes, Ms. Berry invested three hundred million in that movie.”


    “Three hundred million? Where did she get that much money from? Did Jared give it to her?” Lucas


    furrowed his brows. Money can solve everything, he thought.


    He frowned and added, “Invest another three hundred million. Jonathan is under ourpany, after all.


    We should support his movie.”


    Previously, Lucas didn’t want Jonathan to be in Ashlyn’s movie as that young man was good-looking.


    He had to keep him away from her.


    But since Ashlyn insisted on carrying out the project, he must support her career.


    I will support whatever she wants to do.


    Thus, that very afternoon, Greg received three hundred million from Spencer.


    He gazed at the cheque in shock before he called Ashlyn at once. “Ms. Berry, uh—”


    Just as he was about to tell Ashlyn about Lucas’ three hundred million investment, Ashlyn cut in, “I’ve


    handed the contract to my legal team. Is there a problem?”


    She seemed very calm. Greg parted his lips and blurted, “Ms. Berry, let me exin.”


    “Maxwell! There’s a problem with the props team! We need you there!” A staff member suddenly


    interrupted him loudly. Greg had to swallow his words. “Ms. Berry, I’ll call youter. I need to go now.”


    He hung up hastily and rushed over to deal with the problem.


    He had his eyes set on Helena Uber, which was a rookie actress, and was contemting casting her


    as the female lead. The script didn’t have the usual romance elements. The female lead was the male


    lead’s assistant. When everyone mocked and ridiculed the male lead, she was the only one who


    defended him.

    That was because she grew up in a vige. The vigers depended on a small river to survive.


    Suddenly, a paper mill was constructed there one day. Its waste polluted the river. The vigers who


    drank the river water every day were eventually gued with strange diseases. One by one, they


    started dying off.


    Her rtives passed away one by one, too.


    Hence, she gave her wholehearted support to the male lead’s ambition of protecting the environment.


    This was a character with a well-written background.


    Helena and the Angel and Devil production team had already released rumors about her being the


    female lead although they hadn’t signed a contract yet.


    When her manager told her Greg Maxwell wanted her to take on the female lead role of a country


    bumpkin who ended up as an idol’s assistant, she immediately snorted in contempt.


    “Greg Maxwell is nothing but a washed-up director. No one will support his movie! Not the audience nor


    the investors!”


    “I think so, too. Venti’s romance movie will be well-received by the market.” Her manager concurred.


    “Back then, Greg was criticized so badly.”


    “Yes, if I agree to take on that role, I might get criticized too!” Helena scoffed.


    “Okay. I’ll reject the role on your behalf.” Her manager decided. “He won’t be able to find a popr


    male lead, anyway. He’ll probably hire some influencer who is below your station.”
