"I killed them all!" Chase did not think to conceal it, and he said it outright."Alright, you killed them," Lola responded with a knowing smile.Seeing her expression, Chase was speechless for a moment. Nowadays, it seemed like nobody would believe the truth."According to Calvin, you’re planning to deal with the Shelmans and Martial Arts Alliance's master. Can you tell me why, Master Collins?" Lola asked, changing the subject."Revenge!" Chase's expression turned serious as he responded with just one word."If it's revenge, then the Huntingtons are willing to lend you a hand. As Calvin may have told you, my eldest brother was killed by that old fool, Callum. That old scoundrel, Chester Shelman, is also the one responsible for my poisoning," Lola said with gritted teeth, recalling the events."Can I take a look?" Chase had initially thought Lola was injured, but it seemed he had guessed wrong. It was poison."Forget it. This poison has penetrated deep into my bones. All the top
It did not take long for Chase to arrive at the location.The security guard was dozing off in the guardroom, oblivious to Chase's arrival.Chase did not find it unusual and proceeded inside.Which floor was it again?Chase was fretting over the exact location when he noticed two burly men escorting a young woman out of a residential building.The woman was clearly Enola.What a coincidence!Chase casually approached them.The two burly men did not panic when they saw someone approaching them in the middle of the night."What are you guys doing?" Chase asked, pointing at the two."Ah, she's just a little drunk, you know," one of the men said with a smirk, acting like Chase should understand."I don't understand. You'd better let her go!" Chase said sternly.He simply did not understand such actions. He refused to participate in this!"Buddy, stop meddling in other people's business!" the other man threatened as Chase insisted on intervening."I have a kind heart. I can't
"Is the entertainment industry always this chaotic, with people showing up at the door and bringing guns?" Chase joked, attributing it to the chaos in the entertainment industry."Chase, have you been busy these days?""Why?""Would you be my bodyguard for a few days? I'll cover your meals and accommodation, and you can name your salary!""You can cover my meals and accommodation, but no sleeping together, okay?""Do you agree?""Well, are you going to kick me out and have me go to a hotel in the middle of the night?""I'll go tidy up the room for you!"As if she had won a battle, Enola completely forgot about the scene from before.…The night passed without incident. The next day, Enola took Chase to the company.The company where Enola worked was the well-known entertainment company, Telcent Entertainment. They had signed many A-list celebrities. Enola could only be considered moderately popular among them."Hey, isn't this our superstar Miss Enola? Why did you bring an
Enola exclaimed in mid-air, but she could not do anything to save herself in this situation. The force of gravity was fully evident at this moment.At this sudden turn of events, the director and the actors acting alongside Enola were stunned. All that remained among the onlookers was gasps.This was bad!If Enola died on set, then this show was probably done for.The director would be liable for massive damages.Chase did not have time to think much. He appeared below with a flash, leaping up to catch the falling Enola.The two slowly descended from mid-air, leaving everyone in awe.It took a moment for someone to react."What's going on? Props team, what are you doing? How could a wire break like this on the set of a period drama? Do you even want to work here anymore?!" The director exploded."Enola, are you okay?" After venting his anger, the director ran over to check on her."Mr. Calder, I'm fine." Enola regained her composure."That's good, that's good," the director
The director quickly walked over to Enola."Enola, is this your staff member? Introduce him to me.""Mr. Calder, you've misunderstood. He's just filling in as my bodyguard. Actually, he's my friend," Enola hurriedly explained. "Chase, this is Mr. Calder, a famous director in the industry.""Chase, my boy, would you be interested in acting?" Asher Calder politely asked upon learning that Chase was not a staff member."I'm not interested," Chase replied lightly. Hell no. After seeing how cramped the set was, he could not imagine himself acting."Mr. Calder, you shouldn't just pick anyone to act. It's not like everyone can act." At that moment, an untimely voice spoke up.It was Darius. He was accompanied by a striking woman by his side. "Yes, Mr. Calder. Let me call a friend from the industry to save the day. After all, it's the role of the male lead. We can't just pick anyone," Zara Bateman added, trying to persuade Asher."Chase, if it's a matter of compensation, you don't hav
After Chase was done speaking, both Asher and his assistant director were stunned.What?Chase planned to invest a hundred million?The entire drama only cost tens of millions.That was the very reason why they had to rely on green screens in the studio. "Alright, alright." Asher took the card. It was a black card, and he instantly understood that Chase was not lying.This type of black card was something even he was not eligible to apply for.Even Enola was exceptionally surprised at this moment A black card? She had one too, but it was issued to her as a celebrity by the Grand Bactria Bank, and it came with a certain limit. However, the card Chase had given to Asher just now was the legendary unlimited overdraft card.Enola recognized it at a glance.It was said that this black card could purchase anything that could be valued.She remembered the first time she met Chase. She even had the thought of treating him to a nice meal."Chase, who are you exactly? Do you have a
"Mr. Calder, I understand you want to keep your dignity, and I've given in to you. But don't push it too far!" Zara lowered her voice when she saw Asher persisting."What dignity? Zara, what are you talking about? Since you unilaterally decided to reject the role yesterday, then return the advance payment and pay the breach of contract penalty. Otherwise, I'll have to resort to legal procedures!" Asher reiterated."Mr. Calder, are you serious?" Zara looked incredulous."What do you think?""Do you know that if I leave, Bateman Consortium will withdraw its investment and your production won't be able to continue?" Zara made one last effort."No need for you to worry about that, Miss Bateman. I have my way with the funds. Let me tell you, as soon as you walked out, someone else invested a hundred million," Asher said calmly."Who? Which company?" Zara was furious, demanding to know.Just then, Chase and Enola arrived."It's him!" Asher directly pointed to Chase. He left Zara behi
Zara actually had not left yet and had been waiting until now."What's up?" Chase did not put down his lunch box and just coldly asked."Chase, I'm here to apologize for what happened yesterday. I wasn't targeting you; I just couldn't stand the director randomly bringing people into the crew. After all, this drama isn't just the director's; we've all put in effort. "But today, after observing you, I found that you're really suited for acting. So, I came to apologize to you and invite you to have a meal together. How about it?" Zara appeared apologetic."No need for a meal. This lunch box is pretty good. Just say what you need to." Chase shifted his lunch box and said."Chase, give me a chance. I won't hide the truth from you. After watching you act all morning, I realized I've fallen for you," Zara said with a half-hearted attempt.Chase felt a chill run down his spine."Stop right there."Chase quickly stood up, preparing to leave."Chase, give me a chance. Whatever Enola ca
