Chapter 308


    Chapter 308


    Agent Palmer was really worried about Sydney signing up for the drama “Peaceful Land“.


    Last night, after Sydney fell into the water, Liam swung by and gave her a script on the way.


    The script wasn’t for “Peaceful Land“, but a drama called “Tea Tycoon“. The script was just as good as


    Zach’s “Phoenix Fire“.


    The female lead’s role was even more appealing than in “Phoenix Fire“. A growing female character


    that resonates more easily with the


    audience.


    But Sydney turned it down. She thought the production team of “Tea Tycoon” came from a small


    company. The director used to shoot art films, with many awards but not ideal box office numbers.


    Sydney wanted to shoot “Phoenix Fire” because Zach’s drama has both public attention and quality


    assurances.


    “Tea Tycoon” didn’t have much of a background and focused on winning awards. It’s not her top choice


    for her transformational n as an

    actress.


    Additionally, “Tea Tycoon” started filming at the end of the year. Her contract with Gxy Games was


    about to expire, and she currently had no works waiting to be aired. If she decided to shoot “Tea


    Tycoon“, it’ll create a gap in her screen work.


    Not being able to maintain a certain exposure was really bad news for an actor who relied heavily on


    poprity. She couldn’t risk having such a long gap.


    However, “Peaceful Land” was different. Its team lineup isparable to “Phoenix Fire“, and the work


    itself is guaranteed to get attention. They start filming this month, wrap up in three months, and it’ll


    premiere by the end of the year. The pay is more than three times that of “Tea Tycoon“. Most


    importantly, “Tea Tycoon” had the same schedule as “Phoenix Fire“. It’s the perfect time for a


    showdown, and she’s very confident in her primetime ratings.


    Since Zach dared to reject her, she won’t let “Phoenix Fire” air too smoothly.


    So she didn’t hesitate in turning down “Tea Tycoon” and chose “Peaceful Land” instead.


    Palmer was so mad when he found out.


    Sydney knew “Peaceful Land” was very controversial, yet she still chose to participate, totally


    disregarding her own image.


    But now he’s also helpless. The only thing he can do is to point the giarism issue to the author


    himself, trying to get Sydney off the hook.


    Soon after the cast of “Peaceful Land” was announced, it quickly climbed up the trending.


    As Sydney’s fans were celebrating, awyer’s letter suddenly appeared. The client behind the letter


    was Celestial Haze, the voice actor who had disappeared recently.


    The letter stated that the client had suffered from inte violence for a long time, leading to


    depression. Attached to the letter were medical records, and it demanded an apology from several


    alleged perpetrators.


    Soon after, some media discovered that the used ounts all belonged to Sydney’s fans.


    However, these ount holders quickly denied being Sydney’s fans, deleted their previousments,


    and closed their ounts.


    Nevertheless, Sydney’s ount was still bombarded with criticisms.


    Contrary to Sydney’s desperate situation, Celeste seemed to be quite rxed.


    Originally, thewyer’s letter was just a warning shot. The ounts they released had nothing to do


    with the actual nner, but their organized behavior indicated that they were indeed coordinated.


    Whether or not Sydney was involved, encouraging fans was her fault, so she wasn’t innocent.


    This unexpected gift should be enough to keep her in check for a while.


    Quantum Enterprises.


    After everyone in the R&D department left Liam’s office, Owen entered.


    “Mr. Reed, there’s something I think you should see.”


    “What is it?”


    Liam didn’t look up, thinking it was work–rted.


    Owen said, “You asked me to retrieve the surveince footage from the cruise ship the other day. I was


    going to delete it, but I just took a curious look.” Owen paused and whispered, “That day, Ms. Denton


    seemed to be trying to drag your wife into the water with her. Your wife couldn’t break free, so she


    kicked her off.”


    Liam’s movements halted, and he took the phone from Owen.


    Although the video was a bit blurry, their actions at the time were clearly visible.


    It’s more urate to say that Celeste kicked Sydney off out of self–defence than intentionally. She had


    no choice but to kick Sydney away; otherwise, it might not have been just Sydney who fell that day.


    There’s one more thing” Owen hesitated, but decided he had to report it, “On the night you and your


    wife attended Mr. Rowley’s party, Ms. Denton’s assistant contacted me saying she was injured and


    asked that youe to see her. But you were arguing with your wife, so I didn’t bring it up. I was


    worried in case Ms. Denton really needed help, so I sent someone to check on her secretly. It turned


    out that Ms. Denton wasn’t injured after all‘


    In other words, Sydney had lied more than once, and every time she could get resources from Liam


    through her fake injuries.
