Chapter 125
The production team’s investment was cut off for three days, and they couldn’t hold on any longer.
They searched through all the surveince footage, including the random short videos taken by the
staff, and finally found the staff member who had tampered with the wire.
Marie had a “friendly” conversation with Luca, during which the staff member admitted that
Shirley had given him 3,000 dors to loosen the wire lock. He didn’t actually intend to kill Sasha,
just to scare her.
But it was just a matter of 3,000 dors, even if Marie exposed this issue, she couldn’t really do
anything to Shirley. Besides, the staff only mentioned it to Luca once, and then, fearing trouble,
they never acknowledged it again.
Marie called Daphne at KBK, mentioning that Shirley had switched to Olive Entertainment and had
really screwed over KBK. Daphine was gnashing her teeth with hatred.
Coincidentally, Daphne mentioned that recently the relevant department was investigating Shirley’s
finances. It was said to be rted to two movies filmedst year, where Shirley had signed
two contracts tomit tax evasion.
Marie passed the message to Cullen, and considering Dennis’ position, it wasn’t impossible to put
pressure on and make a big deal out of this issue.
Two dayster, it was exposed online that Shirley’s tax evasion amounted to 4.2 million dors.
The news shocked the entire inte.
Last time Shirley’s private life, which was a mess, was exposed, KBK tried their best to rify that
Shirley was wronged, and the person in the photos and videos was not Shirley, but it didn’t have
much effect.
It wasn’t until Shirley switched jobs to Olive Entertainment that the matter was rified. The paid social
media ounts that had previously exposed her chaotic personal life publicly apologized and
In fact, these were just Olive’s methods to whitewash Shirley. Now that Shirley was on her side, Olive
naturally had to find ways to resolve past issues.
However, this time, Shirley was singled out and received criticism from the relevant authorities, which
was something Olive couldn’t suppress. Shirley had no choice but to publicly apologize as soon as
possible and immediately pay the overdue taxes. Nevertheless, public opinion was still overwhelming,
and for a while, Shirley became an artist who had many scandals.
In the production team’s office, Marie sat leisurely in her seat, listening to Lawrence, who was sitting
across from her, grumble, “Ms. Spence, the incident with Sasha getting injured has already passed. Do
you think it’s time to invite the investors back?”
Marie banged on the table, “It’s over? How did it just end?”
Lawrence was confused, “Didn’t we find out that Shirley was the one who didn’t understand things?
Since we’ve already investigated, let’s just film, right? The production team has been waiting for
the past few days.”
“So just let it go if we find out? Shirley messed with my people, and we’re just supposed to forget
about it?” Marie’s fingers tapped on the table one by one.
“So, Ms. Spence meant…” Lawrence was a bit uncertain.
“Shirley caused such a hugemotion with her tax evasion that she’s now known as an artist who
had many scandals. ording to KBK’s previous rules, Shirley should have been cast aside long ago.
How could Lawrence still dare to cast her in a movie?” Marie said.
“Ms. Spence, Shirley is no longer with KBK now. Besides, whether it’s cast aside or not, it’s not up to
me to decide…” Lawrence said with a smile.
Marie alsoughed, “Of course I know that Mr. Larson’s words aren’t final, but the production. team’s
filming, the choice of actors, all of that is up to Mr. Larson. Mr. Larson is a smart man. Recing a
scandalous Shirley with Darwin and Sasha, plus arge amount of investment, deal guaranteed to
make money.”
this is a
Lawrence awkwardlyughed and thought with his head down. It was true what they said, but he had
also benefited from Olive’s kindness. Kicking Shirley out like this would be difficult to exin
to Olive.
“Ms. Spence, Shirley, she…” Lawrence was trying to plead, to persuade Marie once more.
“Mr. Larson, think carefully before you speak. Today, I can turn Shirley from someone whomitted
tax evasion into an artist with many scandals. Tomorrow, I can kick Olive out as well. If you choose the
wrong side to support, you’ll have nowhere to cry when you lose your career,”
Marie said with a smile.
“Shirley, did you do this?” Lawrence asked in shock. If so, that would mean Marie had taken action
from a powerful position.
Marieughed, “Your expression now is just like when he initially didn’t believe that I brought the
investor. People can’t be so naive every time, right?”
Lawrence looked at Marie again, a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a beautiful little suit,
with light makeup on her face. She sat across from him, calm andposed, like an experienced
gambler at the card table, holding a winning hand, waiting for him to lose all his chips.
But Marie was still so young, she shouldn’t have been like this. She should have been like Shirley and
Sabrina, arrogant because of the support they had, causing trouble everywhere, and always making
mistakes because of their youth.

But beneath her mboyant and arrogant exterior, she had a calm and collected heart, like that of a
sniper with absolute patience, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent.
“Mr. Larson, have you decided? Do you want investment, or do you want Shirley?” Marie asked.
Lawrence snapped out of his thoughts and smiled ingratiatingly, “Where is Ms. Spenceing from
with that idea? With all the fuss Shirley has caused, wouldn’t casting her in a movie be a recipe for
failure? The director wouldn’t agree to that either.”
Marieughed and said, “So, when Shirley left, that’s when the investor came back.”
She stood up and left the office. Lawrence let out a sigh, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat
from his forehead. Marie, a little girl, spoke as if there was a knife hanging over the negotiation table.
He didn’t know where that girl got such a sharp gaze and aura.
Marie went to the hospital to see Sasha. Sasha had indeed just fainted and woke up that day, but both
Marie and Darwin were worried about her. After all, she had fallen twice, so they decided to let her stay
in the hospital for observation for a week.
The actor named Christopher suffered a broken arm and a concussion; his injuries were quite serious.
Global Medias arranged for him to stay next to Sasha, and the production team
When Marie went to the hospital, Sasha was chatting in Christopher’s room.
“What were you talking about? You seem so happy,” Marie asked as she walked in.
“Ms. Spence,” Christopher greeted her as he sat on the hospital bed.
Marie nodded with a smile and ced the fruit on the table. This time, if it weren’t for Christopher
protecting Sasha when they fell, Sasha wouldn’t have just fainted for a while and then been fine.
“Marie, we were just talking about how in the y, Jasper took a hit from Tiffany’s sword to save Sierra.
I never thought that in real life, Christopher would actually save me!” Sasha said.

Christopher smiled slightly, “Well, I guess I’m lucky then, because in the y, Jasper died trying to
save you.”
Sasha hit Christopher’s leg and said, “What are you talking about? What’s all this about dying?”
