Chapter 546
Sophia''s eyes crinkled when she saw Alexander approaching. “Did Mr. Schild say yes?”
Hearing her voice, Alexander took one nce at her and wiped the grease off the corner of her lips
with his finger. Only then did he say, “He wouldn''t dare to say no.”
Pausing briefly, he added, “I told him to get rid of Nina from the film crew and rece her with an artist
from Specter Entertainment.”
That was unexpected for Sophia. Not only did Alexander get rid of Nina, but he also got the role of the
second female lead for Specter Entertainment.
Jonice did not let Katherine take up any roles ever since thetter knew she was pregnant. Thus,
Katherine had a lot of time on her hands. When Sophia was too busy to apany her, she would
take the red Ferrari to go to Jadeborough University to hunt for talents.
Sure enough, Katherine managed to bring in one new talent in May.
Specter Entertainment had fewer female artists. In fact, there were only three female artists in the
company including the rookie Katherine found, Linda Lockhart.
The other female artist was a singer and was not good at acting. Hence, the role of the second female
lead could only be given to Linda.
Katherine seemed to like Linda a lot. As soon as the former signed Linda up, she got Jonice to give
Linda a third female lead role in a web series in June while thetter''s schedule as a freshman in uni
was not too packed yet. Katherine even taught Linda how to act personally.
Although Linda was not trained professionally, she was a smart and fast learner. ording to
Katherine, the former remained humble and took up all the roles assigned by thepany because
she was well aware of her poor acting skills.
However, she usually had little work due to her poprity. During her free days, she would study the
works of A-list celebrities at her university.
asionally, Linda would record her acting in ssic scenes and send it to Katherine on weekends.
Sophia had seen the recordings as well. She could tell Linda''s eagerness had helped her to improve a
lot.
At first, Linda''s acting skills were reallycking and a little awkward. Nheless, she did not give up.
She worked hard whenever she was free for a few months, and finally, Sophia could see the former
having her own understanding and style in expressing the lines. Although Linda was still immature, her
future was looking bright.
Logically, a rookie like Linda would never get to be the second female lead for Petite Youth.
Sophia had always been an adventurous person in terms of investments and using talents.
Since Katherine imed Linda to be a talent with hidden potential, Sophia did not mind investing in the
latter.
It was just that Sophia had not found a good script yet. Little did she expect the opportunity toe so
soon.
Naturally, Sophia epted the offer gratefully. After all, Samuel was a businessman by nature, so he
would never ept deals that would put him at a disadvantage. The fact that he agreed to let someone
from Sophia''spany take up the second female lead role proved one thing—even if Linda failed to
reach their expectations, the film crew could make her reach them.
All in all, it was a good—not to mention free—opportunity to train up a rookie like Linda.
At that thought, Sophia suddenly found Nina less dislikeable.
After all, Nina was the one who gave away such a great role to Specter Entertainment.
One should never take what they did not deserve.
Beaming, Sophia answered, “Okay. I''ll get Katherine to arrange for someone to contact Samuel''s
employeeter.”
“Okay,” responded Alexander. Then, he served Sophia with barbequed lobster meat, and reminded her,
“Have your dinner first.”
“Okay.”
Sophia was starving from the intense “workout” just now.
Meanwhile, Samuel was extremely efficient. Right after the call with Alexander, the former instructed
his secretary to break the news to the film crew of Petite Youth.
Midway Media was the main investor in the television series. When the news reached Ross'' ears, he
dared not say anything even if he disagreed. He could only me Nina for bringing trouble upon
herself.
After hanging up, Ross informed Wendy about it and told them to pack up their belongings. They were
to leave the manor that night itself.
Wendy paled with horror at what she heard. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Looney? We signed a
contract, remember? Besides, the series is wrapping up soon. How could you kick Nina out of the film
crew just like that? Aren''t you afraid of what Mr. Chambers might say?”
Ross had gone through many simr cases after working in the industry for some time. He listened to
what Wendy had to say in a deadpan manner before saying, “Ms. Waak, I''m not the one who gave the
order. It was Mr. Schild. You can talk to him if you''re unhappy about it. Besides, it''s Nina who''s at fault.
The contract clearly states that the artist must not do anything that''ll affect the film crew negatively. If
Nina doesn''t leave the film crew, Midway Media will withdraw its investment. We''re wrapping up in
about a week. How are we going to shoot the rest of the scenes if our main investor withdraws their
investment? Even I will be chased out of this manor if that happens.”
At that, Ross'' countenance softened as he changed the topic. “Of course, if Nina could make Mr.
Chambers invest another thirty million into the series, she won''t have to leave the crew.”
Wendy could not bring herself to rebuke him. Her expression shifted, but she still managed a smile like
a veteran of the industry. She quickly apologized to him and said a few sweet words before heading
upstairs to look for Nina.
“Pack your things,” ordered Wendy.
Nina was talking to the wealthy backer she got acquainted with not long ago, thinking the incident was
over. Hence, she failed to register what Wendy said. “What for, Wendy? My room isn''t messy.”

Wendy red at the stupid woman and snapped, “Mr. Looney said Samuel has ordered him to kick you
out of the film crew. You''re no longer the second female lead.”
Upon hearing that, Nina hurriedly got up from the couch. “Why? I''m almost done with the shoot. Why
am I suddenly getting kicked out? Have they lost their minds?”
“Midway Media is the one with the most power here. All I can say is that you''re unlucky to have messed
with Alexander Xenos this time.”
Wendy was in no mood to exin further. She simply patted Nina''s shoulder tofort thetter.
Nina bit her lip, her eyes teary as if she were about to break down. It was a sight that made Wendy feel
bad. “Don''t be sad. Mr. Chambers isn''t too bad either. Stay close to him and ask for the role of the first
female lead. Isn''t that better?”
It was at that moment Wendy suddenly remembered something. “Oh, that reminds me. You should find
the right time to bring this up to Mr. Chambers. You know what men are like. They love to y heroes.
It''s not too bad if you identally mention it and casually ask for a roleter.”
Nina was still displeased with the oue. She did not think she went overboard. Even if she had the
urge to plot something, she did not do it. It made no sense to her that Alexander held a grudge against
her over something so trivial.
Seriously, he''s a man. Does he really have to go that far?
To Nina, men should not be the kind to be so petty. Besides, she doubted Alexander did not have even
a hint of pity for her with her above-average looks.
Now that Nina was kicked out of the cast for real, only one person came to her mind. It must be Sophia.
I can''t think of anyone who can be more petty than her. She''s his wife, huh? I''d like to see if there''s
really a man in this world who won''t fall for my charms. Hmph!
