"Lila, I—I want to go back." Melodie was calling at Laila in a weak tone. Laila had no idea what was going on, but after seeing Melodie's pale face, she knew that something was wrong, as she nodded quickly. "Okay, I'll take you home now." With that, she nodded to Marty politely and said, "Mr. Marty, I'll take her away first." Marty didn't respond to her. From the beginning, they were invisible to him. In the end, Lila held Melodie's hand and left. With her head lowered, Evelyn didn't raise her head until they left. Then, she glanced at Marty with mixed feelings and sighed. "I mean..." With a pause suddenly, she didn't know what to say. For the fact that he always put the blame on her, she felt completely helpless and was even immune to it already. Glancing at her, Marty and said coldly, "What's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?" Evelyn was speechless. What else could she say? What did she dare to s
"I'll teach you." After that, he put the gun in her hand, then walked behind her, lifting her arms, and taught her how to aim and shoot. They were very close to each other. From the back of her ears, she could even feel the warmth from his breath as he spoke. Her cheeks were slightly burning uncontrollably. Although they had an even more intimate contact before, the situation was different at the time. At the time, his mind was not clear. And back then, she only wanted to save him and help him, so she didn't worry too much. Meanwhile, their bodies were tightly pressed together, just like a couple who was in love, with an ambiguous and sweet affection. Evelyn couldn't help but to twist her body uneasily. In turn, Marty shouted in a low voice. "Don't move!" Then he adjusted her arm where she held the gun and said, "Okay, that's it. Keep your right arm clenched tight and relax your left arm. That's it. Okay, shoot!" "Bang!" The plasti
Suddenly, Marty interrupted her. "Whether I owe it to you or not, I am clear of that. You don't have to explain it to me." Evelyn was speechless. Although she felt a little helpless, Evelyn also noticed that she felt a slight warmth deep down. All of a sudden, an ear-piercing scream came from the direction to her left. They turned around and saw a middle-aged woman, who wore a lot of jewelry, suddenly came rushing in toward the table nearby. As she approached the table, she slapped hard on the face of a young lady who looked no more than 20 years old, and she looked domineering. "You b*tch, how dare you seduce my husband. I'll see if I can beat you to death!" The woman's voice was high-pitched and sharp, attracting everyone's attention in an instant. The man sitting next to the girl blushed and immediately stood up to stop her. He scolded in a low voice, "What are you talking about? She is just one of my clients." "Client?" The w
After Marty drove her home, he didn't stay long before he drove away. That night, Evelyn had a sound sleep surprisingly. Probably because she had gone to the amusement park for the whole afternoon, and completed the dream she had when she was a child. Therefore, that night, she actually dreamed of her young self. At the time, the Hussain family had just left Flaucford, and Finneas was still alive. The family was living happily and harmoniously. One day, she heard from other schoolmates that their father took her to the amusement park and played on a merry-go-round. At that time, she was very envious. When she got home, she begged her father to take her there. After the Hussain family left Flaucford, they started a small business in Seda City. Because the business was just started, Finneas was very busy every day. Almost every day, he would go out early and return late, and he had no leisure time at all. But in order to make his daughter
Without an umbrella, Forbos came back completely soaked in rain. Seeing him like this, both Evelyn and her mother were startled. Before she could understand what was going on, she saw him rushed into the house suddenly, and then started to look for money everywhere. Both mother and daughter were shocked, and they didn't know what was going on. Looking at him acting all crazy, they were afraid to ask. Forbos searched all over the house, but still could not find the money. Suddenly, he rushed over, and grabbed her mother's shirt, as he asked, "Where is the money? Where did you hide the money?" Only then, she realized that Forbos was addicted to drugs. In this world, that could be considered as one of the most terrifying things. Everyone knew that for someone addicted to drugs, they would lose their rationale. Therefore, at that time, Evelyn was extremely frightened. That year, she was fifteen years old. Fortunately, her mother
Before that, she had always thought that Marty was a playboy who would never settle down with a woman. Therefore, she could accept it, as long as she could marry into the Blaine family and become Mrs. Blaine. But it was not until today that she realized she was wrong. The others might not be able to tell, but she could tell that Marty had feelings for Evelyn. How could that be? How could a man who had just abandoned her were able to fall in love with another woman right away? Which part of her was not as good as Evelyn? So Melodie could not accept it! The feelings of her resentment aroused deep down like a ball of fire that could blow off at any time. Clenching her teeth and fists, she stared at the picture on the screen. A long time had passed before she took a deep breath, taking out her cell phone and made a phone call. "Hey, get someone for me. I want him to do something..." Meanwhile, on the other end...
"I think he focuses on it, so he may not want to be distracted to participate in the film festival at this time." Upon hearing this, Clarissa frowned slightly. Although this kind of film festival was very important, Freddie, as a famous director, didn't really need the exposure. Therefore, it was not a big deal whether he could participate in it or not. But... He wanted to film a sci-fi movie? What did that mean? Everyone knew that the sci-fi movies made locally were basically cursed. Every one of them was a failure, and none of them made money. Over the years, the audience, directors, actors, or even investors had lost hope in any materials related to a sci-fi movie. It was not something any talented director or great actor could change. The problem was more on the technical difficulties, and it was impossible to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. And Freddie actually said that he wanted to film a sci-fi movie?
"It wasn't until what he said that moved me. Only then did I know that he is the backbone of all directors in Ascijan. That's the reason why I admire him." Then, Freddie repeated what Khalid had said to him at that time to Clarissa. When Clarissa heard it, she too was shocked. It was hard to believe that the words came from such a young director. He said, "In the past few years, locally produced science fiction movies have always been outdone by foreign countries. It is not because we are weaker, but because we lack updated technology and creative ideas. He hoped that he could be the first person to break the barrier and take locally produced science fiction movies to another level, and to be recognized internationally for the first time. He wanted to let them know that the people from Ascijan yearn to visit the universe as well, and are capable to produce good science fiction movies." After Freddie finished speaking, suddenly, the office was quiet.
