Chapter 454


    “See! You can’t even say a word, can you?” Esther found his indignation amusing. Finally, after a long


    time, she had the upper hand, and she was thoroughly enjoying herself.


    “You’re being unreasonable!” Mobius couldn’t control his anger, making it hard for him to catch his


    breath. He had never imagined that the usually obedient Esther would be so rebellious one day.


    Suddenly, gloominess shone in his eyes. He grabbed the back of Esther’s cor. “I’ll teach you a lesson


    on behalf of your brother. I’ll report this to him if you act like this again.”


    “Tsk, I’m not scared of Tyler,” Esther said disdainfully. She felt that he always made excuses and lied


    about his feelings.


    “He said he’s going to tell your mother.”


    In the next second, Esther’s smug smile stiffened. “Okay, forget what I said.” She then hid behind


    Mobius, looking dejected.


    Seeing this, Pearl felt helpless. It was a rare opportunity to force Mobius to admit his feelings for


    Esther, but Esther gave in too easily.


    Eric didn’t dwell on the situation either. He extended his hand to shake hands with Mobius. “Hello, nice


    to meet you.”

    Mobius, with a cold expression, shook Eric’s hand firmly. “I can’t say the same.”


    “Ah!” Eric winced from the firm handshake and turned to look at Pearl in bewilderment. “Is your friend


    really that strong?”


    “Haha…” Pearl forced augh. “That’s just how he is. Don’t take it personally.”


    “Alright,” Eric nodded. “Let’s go in.”


    Pearl led Eric to the set of “The Melody of the West.” Esther wanted to join them but stayed back due


    to Mobius’ threat.


    When the director saw Pearl again, he had a headache. “Miss Pearl, I can’t make a decision about this.


    I told you I can’t upset Miss Jenny’s backer…”


    “Look, Eric. Jenny has threatened all of them.” Pearl turned to Eric, shrugging helplessly.


    Eric wore a serious expression as he stared at the director. “What did Jenny say to you?”


    “She said she would have her boss shut down our production if we let others use the set,” the director


    stammered but continued, “I thought it was just Mister Richard. Since he’s close to Miss Pearl, I


    thought he would agree. But Miss Jenny mentioned that her boss is the son of an oil tycoon and even


    showed me evidence. I…I had to agree.”


    After exining, the director let out a deep and helpless sigh.


    “What if I tell you that the oil tycoon’s son is my friend?” Pearl asked.


    The director’s eyes lit up with hope. “Really?”


    “Here he is.” Pearl pushed Eric forward since the director didn’t believe her. “Why don’t you tell them


    about your identity, Eric?”


    Eric showed his passport. “I’m sure this can prove who I am.”


    After a nce at the passport and the familiar name on it, the director turned pale. It was really him!


    In an instant, the director’s legs felt weak, and his voice trembled. “Oh, sir. You’re here because—”


    “I came to Caplein because of what Jenny did. She used my identity to threaten you all and harm


    Pearl’s interests. I’m very upset about it. So, I want to make it clear that you must prioritize Pearl


    above all else.”
