A Film Queen

A Film Queen of Two Worlds: Chapter 63 Delivering Herbal Soup.

George reclined in his boss's seat, his stare locked onto the computer screen.

A hazy silhouette moved elegantly under the moon's glow on the display. The face was obscured, and the visual clarity was low, resembling a candid shot from security footage.

Nevertheless, George couldn't shift his gaze, steadfastly avoiding blinking.

There are only two conditions. First, Giselle's role must remain unaltered, and second, utilise this sum of 15 million to amplify the team's workplace conditions. It shouldn't be overly stringent. If it proves inadequate, return to me, and I'll allocate further investment." Alan was startled.

Just like that? Is it that simpler Shouldn't he act like other bosses, tossing cash and setting up a lover for a small role? He dared to ponder this but didn't have the nerve to voice it. Still, since it was so simple, he wouldn't refuse. "Alright. Mr. Tate, I will fulfil your requests." After hanging up. Alan couldn't help but laugh. Fortune was definitely favouring him. The movie hadn't even begun shooting, and he already didn't need to stress about finances.

With 15 million dollars at his disposal, he could direct the movie exactly the way he wanted! His excitement had barely lasted two minutes when a sharp ringtone broke the silence. He grabbed the phone and glanced at the screen, causing him to pause once again.

The display read: Mr. Burnett from Burnett Group.

What was going on today? Why were all these powerful people contactingone after the other? Clearing his throat, he responded, "Hello, Mr. Burnett.

The voice on the other end was just as icy. "Hmm." This situation felt oddly familiar.

"Mr. Burnett, how may I help you?" Jordan's tone was serious. “I understand you're set to produce a new movie called 'Silent Sea, right? The Burnett Group is very interested in this script and has chosen to invest 15 million dollars in it." Alan swallowed hard.

If he hadn't known George and Jordan, wasn't acquainted with their voices, and hadn't saved their numbers, he might have thought he was dealing with a scam or a criminal group.

In the past, when searching for movie investors, he had to plead and almost beg, practically on his knees with his script in hand. Even with grand promises, they often chose not to invest.

Now, someone was suddenly keen to invest, and it all felt unreal.

☐:68% Chapter 63 Delivering Herbal Soup Had the wealthy suddenly becmore generous? "Thank you. Mr. Burnett. I was wondering if you have any other requests. Since we're still in the pre- production stage, we can plan accordingly.

Anthony's voice was firm. "I have two conditions. First, Giselle's role must stay the same, and second, use these funds to make sure the set environment is comfortable and not too harsh. If it's not enough, contact me, and I'll add more." When the call ended, Alan was completely stunned.

Why did it feel like déjà vu? I just got the srequest from both powerful men.

Both demanded that Milly play Giselle, and no one else.

l'ait a moment...

Milly Burnett... is her surnBurnett? The recently revealed heiress of the Burnett Group also had this name...

So, the Burnett Group is backing Milly! In that case, it's understandable for the Burnett Group to invest, but why is the Tate Group also participating? Could the online rumours be accurate, hinting that "Mr. Tate actually has a fondness for Mr. Burnett? Upon consideration, it seemed conceivable. The two were evenly matched, and each interaction carried a subtle undercurrent. Moreover, they were both mature and unmarried...

Indeed, the realm of the wealthy is remarkably complex.

Milly remained unaware of Alan's recent encounter.

As usual, she woke up early for school but was surprised to find someone she didn't want to encounter waiting at the door.

Standing at the entrance to Class A-Senior Year-was Ken, a robust figure, firmly holding onto a classmate's collar and pushing him against the wall with forceful words. His posture suggested a potential confrontation.

The classmates watched quietly, unsure whether to get involved.

Previously, considering Milly's character, she would have merely left the scene. She tended to shy away from disagreements and definitely didn't want to get caught up in such circumstances.

But now, as the Class A monitor,/she felt obliged to intervene.

Stepping forward, she spoke to Ken with determination, saying, "Ken, what are you doing? Release him!" Ken's clenched fist halted in mid-motion, his body still with tension.

Who did my angel have to muitnesslike this? Such unfortunate timing Chapter 63 Delivering Herbal Soup Uh-oh, what if she seesbeating up her classmates? Wouldn't that give her a bad impression of me? Had I anticipated her early arrival, I would have controlled myself.

Pulling back his hand awkwardly, Ken turned to Milly with a touch of unease and said, "Angel... you're here Milly furrowed her brow, looking at him with seriousness. "Why are you creating a disturbance at our classroom entrance? Is resorting to violence really the solution?" Having lived through two lifetimes, totaling almost thirty years, she couldn't help but feel exasperated at the sight of this boy resorting to violence at the drop of a hat. She felt like giving him a good whack! How immature!

Afraid of her getting angry. Ken quickly explained, "Angel, please don't misunderstand. I didn't start trouble. It was him over there being disrespectful towards you, saying all sorts of things about how pretty you are. It's like a toad lusting after a swan. Do you think he deserves a beating?" His agitation mounting as he spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves again. However, catching Milly's icy stare, he paused and stopped himself.

The boy, feeling threatened by him, hadn't expected him to speak so boldly in public. It was probably om embarrassing for him, and he immediately retorted, unwilling to back down, "You just said it yourself.

You just claimed that Milly is your angel and that you'll marry her in the future. Aren't you also a toad lusting after a swan?" "How dare you!" Ken stuttered, unable to find the right words.

Caught in Milly's piercing stare, his tough exterior melted away, revealing a blush and a gentler manner.

He muttered to himself, "I did say that, but you provoked me. And, well... my words were uncouth." Milly was speechless.

Taking a deep breath, she commanded, "Ken, go back to your seat. Handle conflicts with civility in the future and refrain from violence." Turning her gaze to the boy, she continued, "You too, go inside. Class is starting soon." Seeing Milly getting ready to depart, Ken panicked, "Angel, please wait!" Milly was confused.

To his surprise, she witnessed a bashful boy produce a sizable thermos from seemingly nowhere, presenting it. Um, this is a ginseng herbal soup my aunt made. It's really good, and I thought you might like to try it. Milly was taken aback.

What a bizarre move! Who delivers soup at such an early hour, especially a herbal soup?
