Chapter 418


    Allison asked in a low voice, “What’s up, Patty?”


    “I was just thinking… maybe I’m overthinking this. I heard Penelope is in the hospital, and her agent


    Charlie seems to have a lot of free time. She doesn’t have any other A–list artists, and for this film, I


    gave you the leading role, but you chose a supporting one. I was wondering, did I do something


    wrong?”


    Even though Patty’s words were gentle, Allison got the jist of it. “So you’re thinking that since Penelope


    is in the hospital, and Charlie doesn’t have any top tiers artists to manage, she mighte to me,


    right?” Allison asked.


    Patty replied, “I do tend to overthink things.”


    Allisonughed lightly, “I chose the supporting female role in this show because I thought the character


    was pretty good. Plus, I just started acting and I like to take it step by step. I don’t like to rely on the big


    bucks behind me to pick roles. You should know that when I choose roles, I only pick what suits me. I


    don’t think I could handle the leading female role in this show. That’s why I turned it down, not because


    I want to get close to Charlie.”


    Patty sighed in relief, “Hearing you say that makes me fee! better.”


    Allison responded, “Patty, I’ve always enjoyed working with you. And I trust you a lot.”


    “Alright, I won’t take up any more of your time. Let’s grab dinner together this weekend if you’re free.”


    Patty hung up the phone and took,a long breath. After all, Allison had Lucian backing her up, although


    not many people knew this, she was one of them.


    Allison seemed gentle and soft, but she was thoughtful and meticulous. Her words eased Patty’s


    worries. Looked like she was overthinking it.


    But she couldn’t help but overthink. There were two actresses rted to Lucian, one was his fiancée


    Penelope, and Penelope chose Charlie as her agent. The other was his lover, Allison.


    Obviously, Lucian invested more in Allison, and Allison chose Patty.


    Now Penelope suddenly got hospitalized, and she needed at least half a year to recover from multiple


    fractures. The engagement between the nagan family and the Lindberg family became chaotic, and


    only the two families knew about it, outsiders had no way of knowing.


    Recent public opinion developed rapidly, Patty had to keep an eye on the trends, and Charlie was


    running around like a headless chicken. If something happened to Penelope, then Charlie would lose

    her top star, and naturally she would lean towards Allison.


    Patty was worried that Charlie would want to get closer to Allison, so she was afraid that Charlie might


    sway Allison.


    With the resource she had personally selected for Allison, and yet Allison declined and asked to y a


    supporting female role, it made her start to overthink things. However, Allison’s firm and gentle


    response dispelled her worries, and reassured her.


    This Allison, she was really something.


    Patty noticed that this woman had a striking resemnce to Penelope and was often seen


    apanying Lucian. That was when she realized that Allison wasn’t as gentle and quiet as she


    appeared on the surface.


    At 6:50 PM, a ck Maybach was driving down the street.


    Lucian checked the address that Shawn sent him and started the navigation to the destination. He


    quickly arrived at the film set, wanted to call Allison to let her know he was there, but suddenly wanted


    to see what she looked like at work.


    There were many people around the library, but they were all stopped by the crew. Only those with


    work permits could enter and exit. Lucian made a call and waited at the door for two minutes. A man in


    crew uniform came over, hunched over and sweating.


    After all, no one knew that this big shot would show up, he said, “Mr. Lindberg, I really didn’t know you


    wereing, you didn’t let me know in advance, I could’ve prepared. I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”


    Lucian nced at the time, “It’s already 7 o’clock, the crew hasn’t finished shooting yet?”


    The man was Mr. Sears from the crew, a deputy general manager of Epic Entertainment. He rarely had


    the chance to see Lucian, and now that he was meeting him for the first time, he was sweating bullets


    and extremely nervous.


    He didn’t know what he had done wrong. This production didn’t have arge budget, and it wasn’t top–


    tier. The fact that someone as prominent as Lucian was involved had him wondering what was going


    on.
