Chapter: 441
The duo looked more like they were going to the grocery store than to the film festival.
After finding the entrance and signing their names, Ariana and Jayson were about to enter the lobby
when they saw Jasper. The latter was all glamorous tonight in his pink suit. In fact, he looked like a
peacock.
Next to Jasper was a similarly flashy dressed man. The man was wearing a leather jacket and leather
pants. His half-rolled-up sleeves revealed arms with flowery tattoos. He additionally wore a large gold
chain and a piercing on his lower lip, nose, and eyebrows.
This man looked like the big boss of the underworld.
Ariana didn’t pay much attention to the man, but she recognized at a glance that he was Edgar Benton,
the new director who had risen to fame quite quickly for his excellent romance movies.
It was when she was trying to find the information about Jayson that she learned about him. Edgar and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJayson were about the same age and the themes they had covered before in their films were similar.
They had even often been compared by the media.
Edgar was someone who knew how to analyze situations and had no trouble following the trend. He
was able to find the backer shortly after entering the showbiz industry. As a result, his director’s journey
was much smoother than Jayson’s.
Coincidentally, he also directed a short film this year, which was a strong favorite to win the short film
award at this year’s film festival.
Jasper hadn’t seen Ariana in a long time. He didn’t get to see her often, so he rushed over and stood in
her way. “Why did you end up with Mr. Nobody recently? You could do better,” Jasper said casually.
Ariana had initially wanted to ignore him, but Jasper had always been a handful.
Seeing that Ariana didn’t say anything, he got excited and asked, “What’s wrong?
Are you admitting defeat? You don’t have the nerve to speak, do you?”
Jayson couldn’t stand it and chimed in, “The reason we came to this film festival is to win an award, not
to make things difficult for a lady.”
Hearing this, Jasper snapped at Jayson, “You’re so useless and yet you want to protect her? You’re
actually hoping for Ariana to be your backer, right? I think you better run away from here ASAP, lest you
make a fool of yourself. You refused to cooperate with me, but know that many people are ready to do
so. The director I’m cooperating with now is Edgar. The lead actress in his next film is none other than
the popular Brielle Edwards.”
“Brielle has nothing exceptional apart from her filthy scandals. You better choose your actresses more
carefully instead of being the stupid playboy the Anderson family had the misfortune to raise. Your taste
is as bad as your breath!” Ariana was no longer the same person she used to be. After staying with
Theodore for a long time, she had learned how to be mean and sarcastic.
Jasper was so angry he almost cursed her. Luckily for him, Edgar was ruder. He immediately cut in,
“You’re Ariana Edwards, aren’t you? You are a new agent, yet you are so arrogant?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdgar gave Ariana a ferocious smile as if he was trying to scare her.
Then he looked at Jayson and said defiantly, “Jayson Spears, you’re nothing now.
You can’t even afford your wife’s medical bills. You should change careers ASAP.”
Ariana was so pissed that she immediately retorted. “Mr. Benton, you are no better.
For the sole purpose of getting the funds for your movie and winning the award, you promised to cast a
terrible actress like Brielle as the lead in your movie. That woman only gets her popularity because of
all kinds of publicity stunts, but her acting sucks. Not to mention the tons of dirty laundry she has to
deal with! I addressed you as ‘Mr. Benton’ just because I’ve got good manners, not because I respect
you. You are just a puppet.”
Edgar was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
