However, despite how much they disliked Adam’s way of doing things, none of them dared to speak up against him. As a result, all of them could only shoot Zayn and Bobby glances of sympathy.On the other hand, Bobby was completely frightened as he kept on tugging at Zayn and pleading in a panicked state, “Zayn, we’ve really gotten ourselves in a massive mess this time, so let’s just get down on our knees and apologize. Oi!”Bobby’s eyes were now completely red as he was extremely aggrieved.However, Zayn had a very serious expression on his face as he looked at Bobby. “Don’t worry, Odd Bob. I told you that I wouldn’t cause you any trouble and I intend to stand by my word. Neither of us has to get down on our knees. Not even God is able to make us do so even if he shows up right now.”“But he’s Adam, a massively popular celebrity at the moment! As long as he gives the word, we’ll immediately end up on the streets with no work to do!” At that moment, Bobby was slightly furious as he g
What Adam’s personal assistant just said caused everyone on set to become dumbfounded, especially since the latter wore a completely horrified expression. Instantly, all of them became curious and shocked as they were uncertain as to what was going to happen next.When Adam saw the expression on his personal assistant’s face, he was obviously startled for a moment. ‘I can’t explain why, but I suddenly have a bad feeling about this… Is it possible that this fool named Zayn actually has the ability to have me sidelined?’The moment this thought appeared in Adam’s mind, he immediately cast it away!‘Impossible! First of all, this doesn’t make any sense logically. If this fool actually has the capability to do so, why would he be here on set as an extra? Does he really have that much free time on his hands?‘Plus, based on this moron’s temperament, he doesn’t seem like a bigshot at all. At most, he looks like an ordinary salaryman. So, a minor character like him can’t possibly be a thr
Annabelle was amongst the crowd who had witnessed this scene, and she was also stunned because she was also an artist under Black Athens Media Corp, so she very clearly knew how strong and capable her chairman was. ‘I’ve never seen the chairman being so furious and frightened before. It’s as if the chairman of Violet Vision is a massively influential figure that he’d never want to offend.’Adam swallowed his saliva, and immediately said after reacting to the situation, “Sir! Has there been some misunderstanding? I’ve never offended the chairman of Violet Vision before. To be honest, I’ve never even met him in my life, so how could I possibly have offended him? Plus, I’m still filming on set…”Adam felt extremely aggrieved after receiving such a scolding from the chairman out of nowhere. What was worse was that he had the speakerphone on, so everyone on set, which was equivalent to hundreds of people, had heard everything that was just said. ‘This is so embarrassing!’However, immedi
‘The chairman of Violet Vision! That’s an identity with a huge weight behind it!‘Although I’m not an employee of Violet Vision, I’ve heard of his name in the past. I can’t help it since he’s just been too popular recently. He’s literally a legend within the industry.‘A few months ago, Violet Vision was just a second-rate media company. Furthermore, due to the poor management from the decision-makers at the time, the net worth of this company collapsed all the way down to 300 million dollars. Then, this current chairman bought over Violet Vision Media Corp with 350 million dollars. After that, under his management, the company’s net worth increased all the way to 850 million dollars within just a few months, breaking a new record high. In fact, his company’s already almost caught up to Black Athens. Even if it does surpass Black Athens someday, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.‘I was actually quite interested in the chairman of Violet Vision previously and wanted to know what kind
However, how could Zayn possibly forgive him? He immediately kicked Adam away from him.Despite being kicked, Adam still wanted to get back up and grovel once more, but Zayn immediately scared him away by saying, “Touch me again, and I’ll make sure that you won’t even be able to survive in this country anymore!”This time, Adam was thoroughly horrified and did not dare to approach Zayn again. He was completely broken emotionally and finally cried out loudly. When the crowd on set saw this scene, they were all shocked and felt that it was all very surreal.Soon after Zayn and Bobby left, personnel from both Black Athens and Violet Vision arrived. They fired Adam on the spot by sidelining him and writing him off from all future projects.Then, a new male protagonist was immediately brought in as a replacement. Furthermore, Annabelle decided to cancel her contract because of this incident as well.Following this incident, Zayn managed to burn an impression in everyone’s heads, especi
It was impossible that Zayn did not know what the intermediary was implying, but he did not mind it much. ‘I’ve been misunderstood so many times now that I’ve grown numb to it.’Then, the intermediary did not say anything further apart from mumbling a few words. ‘Well, the customer is king, so I guess I should do as he says.’“The best villa district within Waltz City would be in Barrow Cove, where the prices of the properties there are around 1.5 million dollars on average. However, the cream of the crop is priced higher than 4.6 million dollars.”On the journey there, the more the intermediary introduced more properties, the more he felt that Zayn was not a wealthy person.This was because Zayn’s reply would always be very simple and concise. All he would do was nod his head and say, “Alright, let’s go and have a look.”In fact, Barrows Cove was indeed the best villa district and was well-known within Waltz City. Not only were the properties in the neighborhood decent, but the f
“Let’s have a look at the most expensive villa in Barrows Cove,” said Zayn with a frown after he was unable to find a place that he was satisfied with despite having seen a few villas.The intermediary had a listless expression on his face as he said, “In order to deter some incapable people who can’t afford to purchase a villa yet would deliberately come up with an excuse of wanting to look at houses, the real estate agents here have set a rule. Anyone who would like to have a look at the most expensive villa in Barrows Cove must pay a deposit of 30 thousand dollars. Anyone unable to fork out this deposit will not be able to check out the villa.”“Does a rule like that actually exist?” asked Zayn with a frown on his face. ‘I’ve been living in Waltz City for so long now, and I’ve never heard of a scenario whereby a deposit has to be paid in advance to have a look at a certain piece of property. Plus, the deposit is a total amount of 30 thousand dollars… That’s just too much.’When t
Ruby had been feeling very troubled lately because Stella had been rather smug for the past few days. Stella claimed that her precious daughter, Skye, was dating a young, rich boyfriend who was a founder of a web hosting company that made three to four million dollars in annual profits. The profit margin of his company was even higher than the Carters’ Neotech Lighting Co. Moreover, he was going to purchase a villa that cost over one million dollars in Barrow Cove as a gift to Skye after they got married so that they could live together comfortably.Stella Harrison was the wife of Waine’s younger brother, Alan Carter. She was also Skye’s mother and she socialized with Ruby on most days. Ruby was sensitive about her own reputation, hearing Stella’s show off so shamelessly made her sick to her stomach. At least her daughter was the chairman of Neotech Co. now, so losing to Stella was unbearable. As a result, she immediately agreed to join Stella when Stella invited her to view the prope
