Chapter 889 Kicking The Iron te
Oliver mmed the table and dered, "This is going to be a smash hit! I''ve had plenty of blockbusters under my belt. I''ve already gone through the
script for this one. and trust me. it''s gold.”
Abigail inwardly sighed
Every director thinks their own project is destined for sess before shooting even begins. Some of them even have the nerve to me the
audience''s taste when things don''t go as nned. But the reality is. without the audience, they wouldn''t achieve anything.
"If you''re so confident, maybe we should make a little bet." Snaunee suggested, her voice slightly nervous
Oliver hesitated at the idea of a bet. "Miss, it wouldn''t be fair to bet on it. What if luck isn''t on our side when it airs? You know how unpredictable luck
can be, right?"
Shaunee licked her lips and furrowed her brow as she pondered.
Abigail poured a ss of wine for Oliver. “Is it really impossible to secure investment? Isn''t there anyone in the Hinton Family who could lend a
hand?”
Oliver chuckled bitterly. "We do have someone, but why would they help someone unrted like me?”
Shaunee scratched her head. "You know, it''s probably because the Hinton Family does have some clout in Capitalis. That''s why they''re bold enough
to pick on you guys like this."
"What about Mr. Graham? Can he think of any way out of this?” Oliver turned to Abigail for guidance.
"He''s really in a tough spot and will probably face some serious questioning tomorrow." Abigail sighed, and her expression darkened.
With things going south like this, Oliver found himself at a loss.
If even Sean couldn''t fix things, they were surely in a bind.
Shaunee propped her chin up with her hand and stayed quiet.
"Maybe we should just pause the project for now?" Oliver finally relented as he felt trapped.
Given the circumstances, halting the project seemed like the only sensible choice, and investors were being threatened, overtly or covertly.
Abigail wanted to invest alongside him, but she had a bunch of other film projects lined up. If she poured money into his project and then couldn''t fund
the next ones, it would be a mess.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
After dinner, Shaunee felt uneasy.
As soon as she was in the bathroom with Abigail, she whispered, "Can''t you pitch in with the investment?"
"This is going to be a long struggle. Even if you chip in now, can you do it for the next project, too? And what if it deesn''t turn a profit? You and Trekell
could end up in bankruptey. Putting a hold on the project isn''t a bad idea. Let''s just wait and see how things y out," Abigail replied calmly.
Taking a step back sometimes wasn''t such a bad idea.
After Oliver left, he took to Instagram to announce that due to investment issues, the production of the film would be put on hold until further notice.
He had indeed directed several impressive films in the past. and the film he was currently working on had garnered massive attention and was
actually based on a popr online novel. Now, both the fans of the book and the fans of the drama were feeling disgruntled.
As soon as Abigail arrived home, she was greeted by a pop-up notification of histest Instagram post on her phone.
She sat down on the sofa, tapped on the notification, and dove straight into thements section.
‘Why the sudden pullback in investment? Is there something wrong with the film?’
‘This announcement is so vague. What''s really going on? We were all eagerly anticipating this film"
‘If "Red Beauty" is facing issues and now Oliver''s film as well, is the entertainment industry on the brink of change? But why can''t they continue
filming the costume drama? There shouldn''t be anything controversial about it, right?’
Oliver''s Instagram post ignited a flurry of discussion
The following day, other drama crews coborating with L.Moon also reached out to her and decided to temporarily pause their projects one after
another.
Since L.Moon''s design team was handling many of the costume dramas, the sudden issues encountered by five or six dramas madeizens begin
to piece together the puzzle.
Red Beauty” convinced everyone
that there were.quality I issues with
the costumes, leading to the
termination: of their cooperation with
L.Moon. ‘And it turns out, al the
dramas ￠ directed by Oliver are ?
somehow linked to L.Moon. With
funds being pulled out, he. Had no
other option but to part ways.
What''s really going on? Did L.Moon
run into some trouble?’ Content

serious connect ons the wrong way,
and now this big shot is pulling
strings: behind the scenes. Just think
abaut it: who could have shed

‘Now it all starts to make sense. It''s like, out of the blue, this major issue crops up, and it turns out it''s all because some industry princess is making
moves.’
‘Oh, shush now. We can''t spill all the beans, but let''s just say she''s a young genius writer, worshipped by fans as a true god, so she throws punches
at veteran creators and kicks aside other up-anding writers in the industry.’
Everyone knew it was Callen throwing shade.
Abigail just waited to see how this would y out.
Callen probably thought she could swoop in and save the day for these struggling drama crews. But even if every single crew breached their contract
and had to fork over millions inpensation, she would still be fine with it
When something this big happened on such a grand scale, people would start to connect the dots.
No matter how hard Callen tried to keep things under wraps, the fact remained that she and L.Moon had some beef online before.
She even tried to manipte public opinion and hoped to inciteizens to attack L.Moon.
But nowadays,izens weren''t as gullible as they used to be. They had brains when they surfed online.
When something started buzzing, it didn''t take long for it to be a trending topic.
Abigail knew she couldn''t just sit idly by, so she wasted no time in setting the record straight.
''l''ve gathered evidence, and I''ll sue anyone who spreads false information online. Let''s all be rational and refrain from attacking innocent folks just
because we''re emotional.’ she urged
She even shared awyer''s letter, calling out those leaking internal info and those making snide remarks about her.
Within hours, oneizen had already backtracked, deleting theirments and offering up an apology.
Abigail sat back and quietly took in Callen''s strategic moves.
Come afternoon, theizen who leaked internal info made a bold move.
‘@SlowMelody, you''re feeling pretty
bold, huh? If yau don''t p me with
awsuit, you''re just a wimp! Just
because your uncle is a director and
your undle-inw is a prosecutor, ~
you thigk you''re untouchable! I -
checkéd with them. They hagno
clue you were stirring up trouble.
Sing your family''s power to bully
ordinary folks? I won''t stand for it. If
you don''t take legal action, I''ll lose
even more respect for you.’ Content
