    Chapter 146


    Olive wore a well-fitted suit, exuding the elegance of a mature woman, revealing her sexiness and


    beauty. Behind her followed Shirley, who wore a white long dress, looking angelic and stunningly


    beautiful.


    William immediately stood up, walked over, and hugged Olive, “Olive! You finally made it! Such a big


    swagger!”


    Olive covered her mouth andughed, “Mr. Lindsey, don’t tease me, where did I get any swagger


    from?”


    Shirley approached and gently shook hands with William, “Mr. Lindsey, nice to meet you.”


    William also smiled and shook hands with her. The group greeted each other warmly, as if they couldn’t


    see Marie and Sasha at all,pletely ignoring the


    two of them.


    The secretary brought the contract and ced it in front of them. Marie flipped through the contract,


    turned to William, and asked, “What does this mean, Mr. Lindsey?”


    William smiled at Marie and asked, “Ms. Spence, what do you mean by ‘you’?”


    Marie flipped open the contract, pointed to the first page, tapped her finger on the table, making a


    muffled knocking sound, and asked, “What does it mean. that Sasha ys the second female lead?”


    William hadn’t spoken yet, and Olive, sitting across from Marie,ughed and said, “Marie, can’t you


    read? The contract says ‘second female lead,’ which means exactly what it says.”


    Marie smiled and looked up at Shirley across from her, saying, “If I’m not mistaken, the female lead role


    of Amelie Lansing is for Ms. Raleign, right?”


    Shirley looked at Olive without speaking,pletely following Olive’s lead at


    that moment.

    Olive opened her contract, turned it around, and handed it to Marie, saying, “It’s written in ck and


    white, you can see for yourself.”


    On the first page, it clearly stated that Shirley yed the female lead, Amelie Lansing!


    Marie mmed the contract on the table with a whack and looked at William, her eyes cold and fierce.


    “Mr. Lindsey, are you joking with me? You said Sasha would y the leading role in this movie, and


    now it’s changed to Shirley?”


    William rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, “Ms. Spence, you might have misunderstood. I never


    confirmed that Sasha would y the leading role. Maybe the staff conveyed the message incorrectly? I


    apologize for any confusion.”


    Marie sneered, “Mr. Lindsey, do you think I’m a child? We’re both


    businesspeople, so let’s be straightforward. What price did Olive offer you that made you so decisively


    choose Shirley?”


    William felt a bit embarrassed and nced at Olive. Olive immediately said, “Marie, we got our roles


    based on our abilities. It’s pointless for you to pester endlessly like this!”


    Marieughed, “How could it be ‘pester endlessly’? I also want to learn from


    you how to snatch roles from others. After all,st time Shirley’s tax evasion


    scandal was well-known, yet you were able to convince Mr. Lindsey to let her


    y the leading role in the movie. I wonder what methods you used?”


    “Marie Spence! What do you mean? What can I do?” Olive said, a bit frustrated and upset.


    Marie smiled and raised her eyebrows at Olive, “Olive, why are you so agitated? You didn’t really use


    any shady methods, did you?”


    After pausing for two seconds, Marie smacked her lips and said, “Really?


    Weren’t


    you always hoping to marry into a New York noble family? I thought you were always very careful to


    keep your hands clean.”


    “Shut up!” Olive had already stood up, her hands on the table, leaning forward, looking like she was


    about to fight with Marie.


    “Olive, don’t get worked up, I was just saying it casually,” Marie waved her hand, exchanged nces


    with Sasha, and they bothughed knowingly.


    “Olive, sit down, sit down, don’t get upset,” William said,forting Olive as


    he pulled her to sit.


    Olive took a few deep breaths and then sat down.


    Olive was so worked up because Marie had hit the nail on the head.


    She and William were university ssmates. Back then, William had already


    shown interest in her, but Olive had always been nonchnt, leading him on.


    It wasn’t until these recent years, when William had be sessful in his


    career and established a firm foothold in New York’s high society, that Olive gradually warmed up to


    him.


    She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years that she was no longer an inexperienced


    little girl. This time, she simply went out with William a few times, and he waspletely won over by


    her. He gave her the


    endorsement for an international cosmetics brand and also gave the role to


    Shirley.


    William gently patted Olive’s back, feeling sorry for her, and sat back down in his seat. He looked at


    Marie with some displeasure and said, “Ms. Spence, this is where you’re wrong. Olive is your sister


    after all, how could you speak to her


    like that?”


    Before Marie could speak, Sashaughed and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Lindsey, in what capacity are you


    lecturing my boss? As a coborator? You might not be able to achieve this coboration anymore. If


    it’s as Olive’s boyfriend, you should be just like me, quiet and well-behaved. The Spence family’s affairs


    can be handled by themselves.”


    Normally, Sasha would never say anything to offend a producer or director due

    to their cautious nature. However, this time, Sasha knew that the


    coboration was doomed because of Marie’s personality.


    “Sasha, what are you saying?” As soon as Shirley saw Sasha speak, she


    immediately spoke up in support of Olive.


    Marie’s gaze was sharp as a knife as she looked at Shirley, “Did Sasha say anything wrong? Or do I


    need to spell it out to you? The Spence family’s affairs are none of your business!”


    Shirley looked at Marie with fear in her eyes, shrank her neck, and didn’t dare


    to speak.


    Olive gave Marie an impatient nce and said, “Now Mr. Lindsey’s intentions.


    are clear. Either sign and let Sasha y the second female lead, supporting


    Shirley, or don’t sign and give us the script.”


    Marie held the contract, flipped through it, and a hint of a helpless smile


    appeared on her face.


    Olive sneered, Why pretend to be tough? In the end, you’ll still sign, right? Otherwise, everything will go


    to her, and what will Sasha film in the second half of the year?


    As long as Sasha yed a support role for Shirley, Shirley could make a


    discuss at that time.


    Marie picked up the contract, turned it sideways, and with a “rip” sound, tore


    it in half. Then, under the astonished gazes of William and the others, she


    effortlessly shredded the contract into pieces.


    Marie stood up, waved her hand, and the fragments all fell onto the brown-ck conference table.


    Some evennded directly on Olive’s face.


    Marie sneered, “Shameless! What makes you qualified to have Sasha y a


    support role for you?”

    “Marie Spence! You…” Olive wiped the debris off her face and head, just about


    to get angry.


    Marie looked at her coldly, “Olive Spence, do you really think I care about this kind of thing? If you like


    picking up what I don’t want, go ahead and take it. I hope you can promote Shirley, otherwise your


    studio should close down for good!”
