At the time when the Shadows was preparing for broadcast, Arya was busy for the auditions of “Love in
Burning Fire.”
Because it was a spy-based movie, she needed to do a lot real lifebat scenes. Allen was
apanying Arya for the trainings. Everything was going ording to the n.
However, what they didn’t know was when the husband-wife duo was preparing for the auditions, an
unexpected guest was waiting for them.
…
In the living room of a luxurious vi.
The air condition was working on its full capacity but it still could not stop the sweats that was dropping
from the secretary’s forehead.
In front of him was sitting an old man in his seventies.
The man was indeed old and was supposed to rest at this age, however his aura still hadn’t faded a bit,
making him look like an emperor. He aged like a fine wine.
“Do you understand what I said?” Leaning against the sofa, the old man looked at the secretary and
asked slowly.
The secretary broke into a cold sweat again. It wasn’t like he didn’t understand but he didn’t dare to do
it.
The secretary thought about a moment, then decided to persuade the old man, “Sir, why don’t you ask
them toe and meet with you directly?”
“Huh!” Hearing this the old man sneered, “If that brat listened to me, would I be here today?”
“But Sir, if Mr. Jones knew about this, he will be angry. . .” The secretary said in a low voice.
The old man found these words funny, “Do you think I care if that brat gets angry? Who is he to be
angry in front of me?” At the end, the old man snorted coldly.
The secretary fell silent. It was right. Even Allen Jones wouldn’t dare to do anything in front of this
dignified old man.
“But what you said make sense.” The old man thought for a moment, “That brat would not do anything
in front of me but he can try to prevent me from doing this.”
His walking stick tapped the ground for a few times before it suddenly stopped, “Keep it a secret.”
“Huh?” The secretary was stunned for a moment. How could he hide such a big matter from Allen?
Seeing the secretary hesitating, the dignified old man raised his eye brows.
He is now the master of the Jones Family. Could it be that he didn''t even have the power to do so?
The assistant could only bite the bullet and agree to keep this a secret.
On one side was Allen, who dominated the business market, and on the other side was the old head of
the Jones Family. What could he do? Both sides were people he could not afford to offend!
However, Old Master Jones had already retired to the second-string. He only asionally showed his
face at public events in thepany. How could he be so curious about his granddaughter-inw this
time? He did not even care about Allen stopping him. Did he speciallye back from overseas to test
her grand daughter-inw?
And it was done in secret...
Old Master Jones nced at his assistant and picked up his phone. It was a message he had just
received. "No problem. With your help, this movie will be even more exciting! Mr. Jones, the location of
the crew is..."
Old Master Jones put down his phone in satisfaction. This message was sent by the director of the
"Love in Burning Fire" crew.

Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
No one knew that Old Master Jones was a drama actor before he started his business. He wanted to
see his grandson''s wife, but Allen did not agree, so he went straight to the production crew to act as an
assistant. He wanted to personally meet his granddaughter-inw, Arya, and hide it from Allen.
He used a stage name, Royce Jones, so the director did not know his identity. What he needed to do
next was to be an old agent who yed with Arya without anyone knowing. Because the identity
of the old agent was special, he always wore a hat and wore a fake beard, so he would not reveal his
true identity.
The next morning, Allen''s car had just stopped at thepany when he saw Martin rushing over. He
stood in front of Allen and reported a piece of news that he had just tracked down in a low voice.
Allen revealed a faint smile. "Let him be. As long as he is safe, it is an action film after all."
"If something happens between the old man and Madam at the film set..."
"Arya can handle it."
Allen only said four words before he ignored Martin and walked straight into thepany.
"Director Jones."
"Good morning, Director Jones."
The man had a cold expression on his face. He greeted the employees with a nod. When the elevator
arrived, he stepped into the elevator. Martin followed closely behind.
"The old man might be too bored to rx overseas. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to
get addicted to ying games. As long as he is safe, everything else is up to him."
"What about Madam?" Martin did not know if he should tell Arya and ask her to pay more attention to
an old man who could make things difficult for her in the production team at any time.
"For now, you don''t need to tell her."
Allen wanted to see what Old Master Jones wanted to do.
Besides, how could his wife not be able to handle such a meeting?
...
Arya was so focused on the audition that she did not expect Old Master Jones toe to the
production.
Because the female lead of "Love in Burning Fire" had to go through auditions to decide. Arya was just
one of the few strongpetitors. She had to take out 200% of her confidence to deal with it. Only
then would she have 100% confidence to get this role.
Among the otherpetitors, the most famous actress and acting actress was Scarlet Barnes, who
had just won the Flying Sky TV Festival Best Supporting Actress Award.
Arya could not care about anything else at this time. Her only choice was to do her best. As for the final
decision, it waspletely in the hands of the director and the producer.
Late at night, Arya was still practicing the lines and actions of the audition in front of the dressing mirror.
Her seriousness made Allen unable to bear to disturb her. When he thought of Old Master Jones
already staying at the hotel arranged by the production team, he could not help but shake his head and
smile bitterly. He did not know how his grandfather would make things difficult for his granddaughter-in-
law.
Allen processed a few more documents and saw that it was about time. He then walked to Arya''s side
and said, "Take a rest. If you are too anxious, you will not be in your best condition."
Arya nodded. She reluctantly put down the script and walked into the living room with Allen.
Allen thought about it and still did not tell her about Old Master Jones. He held Arya''s hand and said,
"Before the audition, you still need to attend the celebration banquet of Memory Fragment with me. I
will arrange everything when the timees."
"But time is very tight. Can I..." Arya''s mind was focused on the script and did not want to do anything
else.
"I know you value this role very much but you have prepared well. At this time, adjust your mentality
and you can also rx. Furthermore, your fans are all waiting to see yourtest news."
Arya listened to his words and seriously thought about it. She nodded and said, "Okay, you have the
final say."
Because he was her Exclusive Broker.
Allen pulled her into his embrace and lightly kissed her cheek. He did not know what Old Master Jones
would do and could not make Arya take precautions in advance. There were some things that she had
to face by herself.
But no matter what happened, he had confidence in Arya.
The feeling of being hugged by him seemed to be different from usual. Arya turned to look at Allen in
surprise. "Is there anything special today?"
"No..." Allen smiled, "It''ste, let''s rest."
"Okay." Arya followed him into the bedroom.
When she was at home, she liked the feeling of following him everywhere. It was as if no matter where
she went, she felt very safe because this man would always be in front of her and help her shelter from
the wind and rain.
At this moment, in Allen''s heart, it was also very warm.
They were a couple who were the focus of attention in the entertainment circle, but they also enjoyed
an ordinary married life. This was the rarest.
...
Regarding this celebration banquet, the Dahua had prepared very carefully, because the battle of the
Memory Fragment was too beautiful.
It perfectly blocked off all the voices of doubt. Furthermore, not only was the box office very high, with a
very good result, he pushed open the gates of the Film Festival this year.
ording to the requirements of the CEO''s office, the Dahua''s celebratory banquet was held in a top
five-star hotel in the city. Many big shots and famous directors were invited. At the very least, it was the
reporters from the major media websites.
This was the celebration banquet of "Memory Fragment," but there was nock of publicity for
"Shadows," so Ezekiel was also requested by Allen to be present.
However, Ezekiel woulde because of his "assistant.”
When the banquet guest slowly walked into the main hall, Arya wore a jasmine colored cheongsam.
Her temperament was elegant and dignified, and the smile on her face was tranquil and moving. Her
entire person was like a colorful cloud that slowly drifted over.
Looking at the entire banquet hall, the female guests were all dressed in flowery clothes that were
extremely gorgeous. However, Arya was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam that was even more
prominent and more unique.
Louisa saw Arya in the crowd at a nce. She directly threw Ezekiel to the side and walked towards
Arya.
