He had hoped to find some evidence to accuse Jayson of playing dirty. However, he felt depressed
after watching the short film.
Meanwhile, when the host was wrapping up the event, Jasper stormed out of the hall and bumped into
the disappointed Edgar. “Weren’t you confident of winning?
Why did you lose to Jayson Spears?” Jasper demanded coldly.
“Well, his short film is indeed better than mine,” Edgar said dejectedly, seemingly in a trance.
Jasper was furious and scolded in a hushed tone, “I don’t care about the stupid film.
We must find a way to tum the situation around. Previously, the netizens were so certain that you would
win the award. No one had expected Jayson to win. There must be many viewers who aren’t happy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtabout the results. You can use that to get the judges to review the films again. I can buy you a team of
online trolls.”
“It’s useless. The netizens know what a good film is. Nothing we do can change that,” Edgar replied
dismissively. He was a proud man who didn’t want to resort to trickery to win. Besides, he couldn’t find
a bone to pick in Jayson’s work.
Just then, Edgar noticed Jayson and Ariana approaching their direction.
He stepped forward and interrupted their conversation. “Congratulations on your win.
Jayson frowned and felt indifferent toward his good wishes. After all, winning the award was just the
first step to success. He still had a long way to go.
Edgar continued in a friendly tone, “I suppose this is the incomplete version of your script? I look
forward to the day I can watch the entire movie.”
Jayson’s guards went up. He didn’t expect Edgar to be kind enough to congratulate him.
Just then, Ariana interrupted Edgar with a smile, “We definitely look forward to having you enjoy the
movie when it’s done.”
Edgar turned to look at the petite, beautiful, and gentle woman. “Your performance was good in the
short film, although not as good as Tyler’s. But still, you were amazing. I look forward to cooperating
with you in the future,” he said while softening his arrogance a little.
Ariana wanted to roll her eyes. However, she controlled herself and replied with a polite smile, “I just
offered some help. Besides, I’m Tyler’s agent. I have no plans to be an actress in the future.”
“We need to go,” Jayson urged Ariana softly as he didn’t want to talk to Edgar anymore.
Ariana nodded and left the event venue with Jayson, completely ignoring Jasper in the background.
As Edgar watched the two leave, inspiration struck him, and he suddenly requested, “Mr. Anderson,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlet’s change the lead actress for the new movie. Brielle is not suitable for the role.”
“Edgar Benton, are you hearing yourself? We have already signed a contract. Are you trying to break
it?” Jasper scolded furiously.
“I’m the director. I am entitled to decide on my cast. This has nothing to do with the contract,” Edgar
argued.
Jasper knitted his brows tightly and said angrily, “Brielle is starring in Mr. Winslow Calderon’s Half of My
Country. She’s set to rise to fame quickly. If you don’t cooperate with her now, you wouldn’t have
another opportunity like this in the future!”
“We can wait till she’s famous,” Edgar replied with a sneer. To him, Brielle was just asmall fry riddled
with scandals. There was no way Jasper could help her succeed.
