Chapter 32 What the Hell is the Trick?
After she returned to her country, Eva’s life was not smooth. After she signed to HYJAK Entertainment, she received two good resources, but Sheila also signed to Renee’s team, so all the resources were tilted towards Sheila. Eva could only get some unappealing tiny roles until she won the drama “Rose in the Wind” with her own acting skills.
“Come in.” Caleb dialed the internal line.
“Okay, Mr. Livingstone.” Luke put down the work in his hands, quickly heading for Caleb’s office.
From Caleb’s voice, Luke heard a strong killing intent, thinking Caleb was really angry this time.
“Give Renee a call.” Caleb instructed, “By the way, inform the public relations department to keep an eye on Sheila’s movements, monitor Eva’s related public opinion, and report to me at any time if anything happens.”
“Yes, Mr. Livingstone.” Luke didn’t know why Caleb had suddenly become so attached to Eva, in the past, such a small matter, not to mention reporting to Caleb, had already been solved before it could even be handed to him.
Luke felt like he should have found something remarkable.
“Hello, Miss Morin, this is Luke Pearce from Lumenstone.” Luke dialed Renee’s number.
“What?! Luke Pearce?” Renee usually liked to pimp with her men, trying to get them to get close to the big money so she could profit from it. She knew all about the people of the rich class in Hartvenport.
“Are you the Special Assistant Luke Pearce of Lumenstone? What an honor it is to receive a call from you.” Renee said flatteringly, “May I ask what is wrong?”
“Yes, I am. Can you calm down? I have something to tell you.” Luke had a black face.
Renee nodded frantically, “Okay, okay.”
“I’ve received some news. Mr. Livingstone saw that batch of photos yesterday. Coincidentally I just found out that the paparazzo was paid by you. May I ask what are you trying to achieve by slandering your artistes?” Luke said nonchalantly.
Probably because he had to be concise when reporting to Caleb, Luke was particularly talkative in other situations.
“What did you say?” Renee was excited, but at this moment, when she heard Luke’s questioning, it was as if a pot of cold water had been poured over her head, and she instantly sobered up.
Her brain was running at a high speed, and after careful examination of yesterday’s incident, she didn’t think she had upset Lumenstone, “Can you tell me in detail? I don’t seem to have a grudge against Lumenstone.”
“Adam is a member of Livingstone family, Miss Morin, aren’t you known as a know-it-all, how come you don’t know it?” He could not expose William’s identity, and he did not know about the relationship between Eva and Caleb, so he could only mention Adam McCallum, thinking that his boss would not blame him.
“What, Mr. McCallum?” Renee was surprised.
She was so shocked that her voice was shrill, which giving Luke a headache, “I wonder how you are gonna handle it?”
“Don’t worry, it was all Eva’s bad idea, I will definitely blame her and make her apologize to Mr. McCallum.” Renee assured Luke.
“Well, Miss Morin, you are pushing the blame cleanly, but I heard that you have bad terms with Eva, will you still listen to her?”
“This… this…” Renee stammered, unable to speak.
Luke also did not want to waste too much time on her, “Miss Morin, you should know that some people can be moved and some cannot. Just learn your lesson and pay Miss Sommers a few million in compensation to settle it privately.”
“What? No way!” Renee shouted sternly, her lips trembling with anger.
“The decision is up to you, but consider if you can afford the consequences if you choose to refuse.” Luke said coldly, and hung up the phone without waiting for Renee’s reaction.
After ending the call, Renee calmed down, feeling Luke was protecting Eva, not stepping in for Adam. And since Adam had his own studio, he wouldn’t have alerted someone like Luke if something like this happened.
But how could Eva know Luke and have him use the Livingstone family to pressure her!Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The more Renee thought about it, the colder and creepier her back felt.
No, she had to go to the set now to see what Eva was up to!
Renee stood up abruptly.
“Miss Morin, where are you going to?” The assistant asked, as she saw that Renee was going out with a black face.
“Go to the set to see how the two are doing with their scenes.” Renee instructed, “Get off work when you finish your work in hands.”
“Okay, Miss Morin.” The assistant said obsequiously.
When Renee arrived at the set, Eva happened to be filming a scene.
And it was a big show. By now the two countries were at war and Princess Jayde had to leave the capital. Before she left, Princess Jayde could not let go of the man in her heart and decided to see him one more time before she set off.
It was pouring with rain under the dark night, as if God was mourning for Princess Jayde.
“Alexander Whitehead, come out!” Princess Jayde, drenched in rain, stood in front of the general’s house and shouted at the top of her voice.
Eva was completely absorbed in the scene, expressing the despair and disappointment in Princess Jayde’s heart at this moment very well.
Mel and Ethan sat behind the monitor and watched Eva’s performance. Their emotions were also affected.
Princess Jayde in the play waited for half an hour before Alexander Whitehead opened the door to his room and came out, while on the set, Eva also stood in the artificially created rain for ten minutes before the sequence was completely filmed.
Different camera positions to capture different close-ups.
“Cut!” Mel shouted with admiration, “Eva, fix make-up and move on to the next scene, Adam, standby and try to pass in one go.”
“Okay, director.” Adam nodded his head.
Eva was still emotionally caught up in the drama, unable to pull herself out for a long time, like a log at the mercy of the staff, without a backbone of her own.
In fact, she was thinking of her five years ago, who waited bitterly for Brody to come back and give her an explanation, but Brody didn’t show up at all. She even went to Brody’s home and stood under his house for a day without seeing anyone, and it was this incident that made her a complete joke in the upper-class circle.
Mel didn’t give them much time to rest, it was best to finish the shoot in one go while Eva’s clothes were soaking wet, so he soon started to shoot next.
Alexander eventually walked out and the two held each other tightly in the rain.
The next scene was the only sex scene between Alexander and Princess Jayde in the whole drama, so Mel arranged it at the end as a final scene for the two, so that they could develop their relationship better and finish this part of the scene very well.
