Chapter 92
Chapter 92 Oliver's Flattery Finished The lead actor, Oliver, had openly quit the production because he disliked his co-star. Everyone in the crew knew this by now, it wasn't exactly a secret.
But to bring it up so blatantly? That was a first.
Milly kept a calm expression, unaffected by the sarcastic tone. She asked, "Oh, really? Then I wish you luck in getting the role. I've heard there are more candidates on their way. Don't celebrate too soon. You might end up empty-handed." Neal's face darkened. He hadn't expected the girl in front of him to be so sharp-tongued.
Sensing his shift in mood, Stephanie quickly stepped in, protecting Neal behind her and looking teary-eyed. She accused. "Milly, how could you say that about Neal?" Milly frowned. She didn't think she had said anything particularly harsh.
Stephanie looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, tears streaming down her face, making her look incredibly delicate. Neal wasn't the only one affected; even the bystanders who had been mocking them started to think Milly might have gone too Пar.
This move was a masterstroke in any PR scenario.
With Stephanie protecting him, Neal felt a rush of sweetness. He felt his dream of marrying into wealth was within reach. Feeling righteous, he stepped forward, shielding Stephanie behind him and confronting Milly.
"If you have an issue, cat me. Bullying a defenseless girl like Stephanie is beneath you. No wonder Oliver doesn't want to act with you. You lack talent and integrity. People like you ruin the acting profession!TM His voice was loud and forceful, echoing around them.
It was as if Milly had forcibly separated a loving couple rather than merely spoken a few words.
Joy was standing behind Milly. She frowned at this point. What's wrong with these two? Initially, they sought attention, and now they are the ones making the accusations. These two get all the benefits for themselves, which was convenient for them.
Suddenly, a voice full of anger rang out, asking, "Who are you calling lacking in integrity, Toasty?" Everyone turned to see Oliver with his signature pink hair.
But Toasty? Milly glanced at Neal. He was the type of man that women preferred in the present day, with a well-toned physique and sun-kissed skin. However, he did not appear to be toasted, correct? Predictably, Neal's already darkened expression beceven darker, but he didn't dare argue with Oliver. His fans were notorious for their fierce loyalty.
He bit his lip and explained, "Mr. Oliver, we weren't talking about you. And... as a celebrity, isn't giving people nicknames a bit unprofessional?" 12:51 Sun, 23 Jun ti Chapter 92 Oliver's Flattery Finished Unexpectedly, Oliver raised his chin and stepped forward. He shielded Milly behind him and said, "She's under my protection. Insult her, and you're insulting mel "And who said I was just giving out nicknames on a whim? I thought long and hard about that one. What? You don't appreciate it?" Neal was speechless. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Is that really the point? Even if you thought about it long and hand, it's still a nickname! He glanced back at Stephanie, hoping she'd back him up. Given the Burnetts' influence, Stephanie should have nothing to fear from Oliver.
Stephanie just stood there, unwilling to help.
She frowned and looked at Oliver, who popped out of nowhere. This is odd. Isn't Oliver supposed to dislike Milly enough to quit a project? So why did he suddenly defend her?- Stephanie wasn't the only one puzzled by this. Milly herself was just as confused.
What is this KEY MO to now? She said coldly. "Sorry, but we aren't close. If I remember correctly, half an hour ago, you said you'd quit the moment I joined the cast." Hiss! When the crowd heard what Milly said, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
It was well known that Oliver absolutely despised being contradicted by his face. It was said that a while back, a rookie actress felt smug because she had funding to join the cast. The actress had arrogantly lectured Oliver. Unexpectedly, Oliver didn't take it lying down. He went live on social media, exposing the rookie's affair with a wealthy benefactor. No one knew where he got the evidence, but he even thoughtfully sent a copy to the benefactor's wife.
The consequences were predictable. The industry never saw the rookie actress again.
Similar incidents had occurred more than once, each ending with Oliver presenting ironclad evidence.
As a result, everyone in the industry would show Oliver srespect. He was formidable and seemed to have dirt on everyone.
In this industry, nothing is feared more than a scandal being exposed....
Who in this industry doesn't harbour secrets? Stephanie was well aware of Oliver's temper. She couldn't help but smirk and gloat at Milly's misfortune. Milly had just joined the Burnetts and hadn't had much exposure to the entertainment industry. She probably didn't know about Oliver's notorious temper. This was going to be interesting to watch.
However, Oliver, who was usually brash and arrogant, now showed showed none of his usual pluster. Instead, he stood by Milly's side, desperately trying to win her favour. "Mas... Boss, what are vou talking about? We 213 661 Chapter 92 Oliver's Flattery Finished didn't know each other well the first twe meet, but by the second time, we're considered friends. Your concerns are my concerns, but my concerns are still mine, right? "I'm sorry for not recognising you earlier. Please be the bigger person and don't hold it against me." Oliver lowered his stance to the point where he was almost kneeling, Stephanie, who had been secretly mocking Milly, could no longer maintain her composure at the scene. She glared at Milly, her eyes filled with jealousy, What's going on? Oliver is supposed to detest Milly. Why did he defending her now? Driven by jealousy, Stephanie couldn't hold back any longer. She asked sternly, "Mr. Oliver, didn't you quit because of Milly? You even said..."
"Rubbish! Who said I quit?!" Oliver cut her off and jumped to his feet to defend himself. "Boss you must e believe me. I love this role, and I'm delighted to act alongside you. If anyone tries to stop me, I'll fight them!" He had finally managed to prove his loyalty to his master, and now sclueless person was trying to mess things up.
If this person angered his master, Oliver would definitely kill the troublemaker before his masterm could order his own execution. And he truly meant it-the kind where the victim gets skinned and dismembered! Humph! 20 1 X
