Chapter 384


    “I’m not going to act, I won’t be part of the industry either.” Pearl turned the director down and winked at


    Jenny. “So, Miss Jenny, did you remember what I said?”


    Jenny felt like she was just a backup, only getting what Pearl didn’t want. Her frustration grew. She took


    off her costume and threatened to leave the set.


    The director, being cunning, knew he couldn’t convince Pearl. So, he quickly changed his tune and


    started being nice to Jenny. “Please don’t leave, my dear. You’re the main actress. I can’t give your role


    to anyone else.”


    Richard had put 1 million dors into this show, being the biggest investor. He almost forgot this when


    he was trying to hire


    Pearl.


    “You prefer Pearl’s acting, don’t you? Well, I’m done acting. We’re pulling out the funds!” Jenny was


    furious. She dialed her phone, pretending to cry. “Rick, they’re bullying me on set. Can youe


    over?”


    She hung up and looked smug. “Just wait. Rick will be here soon, and we’re going to withdraw the


    funding. Let’s see how proud you’ll be then!”

    Pearl waited quietly, feeling uneasy when she heard that Richard wasing.


    Richard arrived quickly and spotted Pearl and Esther in the crowd.


    “Rick, they were bullying me. Pearl even tried to steal my lead role. Worst of all, the director agreed to


    it. Let’s withdraw our funds. I don’t want to be part of this anymore!” Jenny rushed over to Richard,


    trying to be charming.


    “Pearl wants to be the lead actress?” Richard found that hard to believe.


    Jenny’s expression changed. “Yes, she wants the lead role.”


    Pearl ignored her. She could say whatever she wanted.


    But Esther couldn’t stay silent and called her out. “What do you mean ‘steal’? The director didn’t want


    you because your acting was subpar. Now you’re lying through your teeth.”


    Richard looked over, and when the director heard this, he shrank back and said, “I didn’t. I stopped


    considering it because Pearl wasn’t performing to her potential.”


    “I invested 41 million so Jenny could act here happily. Now you want to switch to Pearl? Don’t you want


    the money anymore?” Richard wasn’t loud, but his tone wasmanding.


    Pearl felt the pressure.


    Esther protested loudly, “What are you doing, Richard? Are you helping your ex bully your girlfriend?


    You’re such a jerk!” Richard’s expression remained unchanged. “Was anything I said wrong?” He was


    simply protecting his investment. He had invested because of Jenny, so if Jenny couldn’t act, he saw it


    as a loss.


    Pearl understood that, but she couldn’t understand why Richard was so kind to Jenny and seemed to


    be ignoring her. Was it true that Jenny’s im about him not getting over their past rtionship was


    urate? Did he want to get rid of her now that Jenny was back?


    She looked into his eyes. They were as calm as rocks, but for a split second, there was a curious look


    in them, although it quickly disappeared. She thought her eyes might have tricked her.


    “Let’s go, Esther.” Pearl didn’t want to dwell on it, and now that she had put Jenny in her ce, she


    was done. Esther red at Richard and left as well.
