Chapter 165
But Samuel would never give Charles a chance to climb up. He wanted to show Samuel and Skr that the Williams family had absolute authority in Jipsburg. They were merely peasants from the countryside who hade to the city. [1
Challenging the Williams family head<b>–</b>on? It’d be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
As he exited the building and headed to the set, the assistant director called him. Samuel smirked, thinking it had been settled. “Have you gotten rid of Charles?”
“Cut the crap and answer straight. Does Charles have someone backing him? Is he merely ying the role <b>of </b>an extra just to experience life? What’s his background? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me because you don’t like me?
“Samuel, you think you can outsmart me <b>in </b>the entertainment industry just because you’ve had a few lead roles?” The assistant director blew a fuse.
Samuel was bewildered. “What?”
“Fuck you, Samuel!” The assistant director stormed over to punch Samuel. “I’ve been in <b>this </b>industry longer than you. I’m tired of your tricks!
“Are you <b>trying </b>to rece me with your own people? Let me tell you, the director is a family member of mine. He won’t let you seed.”
“I have no grudge against you. Why would I target you? The one who I have a grudge against is Charles!” Samuel was hitting the roof. He was <b>lucky </b>to have dodged the punch. If it hadnded on his face, he would have to hide from the public.
The assistant director finally calmed down. “You don’t know?<b>”</b>
“What?” Samuel scowled.
“I suggested to the director to rece Charles, saying that he might be a risky actor. But the director scolded me. He’s thinking of giving Charles more scenes now.
“He warned me to steer clear of any trouble with Charles. If anything happens to Charles, he’ll be out. I asked again, but he refused to say anything.
“Charles must have someone backing him. So, tell me the truth. Do you know who’s backing him?” the assistant director asked.
“What background could he, a country bumpkin, possibly have? Could the director have been fooled by him?” Samuel was still puzzled.
“You think the director is so easily fooled<b>?</b><b>”</b>
The assistant director considered buttering up Charles, hoping to ride his coattails if he rose to stardom. Luckily, the director had stopped him from making a mistake.
“I’ve transferred back the 20,000 dors to you,” the assistant director said, then stormed off.
Chapfee 165
Samuel was left with a bunch of questions that night. Then, a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. He clenched his jaw. “Skr, you keep denying this sugar daddy business! Who are you trying to <b>fool</b><b>? </b>You used your sugar daddy to back Charles up<b>, </b>right?”
Samuel was seething with anger. Sometime after that, he noticed that the film crew group chat was abuzz with talk of Charles. He didn’t even receive a fraction of the attention as the male lead<b>.</b>
“Charles, do you know Mr. Querbach personally?” the female lead inquired.
“If Charles didn’t know him, why would they arrange a vi for him?” chimed in the second female lead.
“Charles, let’s have a drink tonight,” suggested the second male lead.
Despite being mentioned in every message<b>, </b>Charles didn’t respond, and it wasn’t because he was aloof. On the contrary, he was stunned.
The butler had personally escorted him to the vi. He didn’t have much belongings, just a bag and the shopping bags filled with clothes and shoes Skr bought.
Wasn’t he supposed to stay in the apartment? Why was the butler so attentive in arranging a vi for him?
“Mr. Sullivan, are you satisfied with this vi? If not, I can arrange another one. There are still three vis avable,” said the butler.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Charles swallowed hard, his nerves on edge. “It’s not that. Did you make a mistake? I’m just the fourth male lead. I should be staying in that apartment.”
“You’re Mr. Charles Sullivan, right?” the butler asked with a smile.
