The rain was still pouring and sparks occasionally flew out of the burning charcoal in the pavilion.
Compared to the chilly temperature outside, the inside of the mansion was rather toasty.
Ross and the others who had just left felt utterly dejected.
In fact, the scowl on Ross' face never went away since he left the mansion. Alexander's words earlier
could not be any clearer. He was already angered by Nina's first round of disturbance, yet they had to
bother the couple for the second time.
It never crossed Ross' mind that filming a scene inside the manor could cause such a huge fuss.
At first, he quite admired Nina's talent and wanted to make her the female lead for his next television
series. After all, her backer was a generous person.
However, Ross had the urge to kick Nina out of the cast after what happened today.
Of course, that was just a thought. The filming for Petite Youth was coming to an end, anyway. They
could wrap up once they finished shooting at the manor and a few more scenes at another location.
The entire crew had worked hard for the shoot for the past two months. As the second female lead,
Nina had quite a number of parts in the series. Hence, it was not ideal to remove Nina from the cast at
that point.
In reality, Ross could not come up with the best solution for the incident.
Just like that, the group returned to the mansion in the southern district with different moods. Nina's
manager felt uneasy throughout the journey. There were many times she wanted to approach Ross,
but she could not pluck up the courage to do so. As Wendy was worried that Nina might suddenly get
kicked out of the cast, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, “Mr. Looney, about what
happened today, what do you...”
Ross, who was originally feeling angry and scared, felt his anger surge when he heard Nina's manager
speak. “Ms. Waak, you've seen for yourself what kind of person Nina crossed earlier. That was
Alexander Xenos and Sophia Yarrow. Everyone in Jadeborough knows these two are not to be trifled
with, yet Nina had to step on their toes. Do you think Mrs. Xenos is stupid to not realize what Nina was
plotting? I don't care how you guys got the resources to join my crew, but you'd better behave if you
want to continue being a part of the shoot. Don't you dare pull any tricks! Besides, you heard Mr.
Xenos. If we bother him again, I don't know how I am going to explain things to Mr. Schild. I can't think
of a solution for today's matters, but Alexander isn't someone we should mess with. You’ve been in this
industry for some time. Surely you know what are the consequences. I have nothing else to say. If
worse comes to worst, we might have to say goodbye to you two.”
Ross did not need to spell things out to make Wendy understand what he meant. After all, she had
been in the industry for some time.
The color instantly drained from her face. Regardless, she was a mere manager. There was nothing
she could say if Nina got blacklisted or even kicked out of the film crew.
Wendy dared not press on when she saw the furious look on Ross' face. She quickly said a few polite
words and went to the fourth floor to look for Nina.
Meanwhile, Nina had just found out that the person she messed with was called Alexander Xenos. She
was still haunted by his glance from moments ago even after returning to her room. Never did she
experience such fear before.
As soon as Wendy entered, Nina approached her anxiously, asking, “Wendy, what did Mr. Looney
say?”
Wendy shot her a glare. “What else can he say? I've told you many times to be careful. Look at what
you've done now. Alexander and Sophia aren't people you can mess with. This time, you can only pray
for them to be in a good mood and forgive you.”
Nina paled when she heard Wendy's words.
Alas, Ross was right.
After a steamy forty-minute session with Alexander, Sophia was finally feeling exhausted and fell
asleep on the bed.
However, she did not sleep for long. The sky was completely dark when she woke up less than an hour
later. Hence, she massaged her temple and exited the room.
Just as she stepped out of the room, she saw Alexander approaching upstairs with a plate of
barbequed food. The delicious aroma made her stomach rumble.
Alexander's eyes crinkled as he smiled at her. “Are you hungry?”
Sophia blushed a little and followed him to the couch. “Yep. A little.”
“Eat up. They're cooked,” said Alexander while setting the plate of food in front of her.
Sophia gave him a curious look when he got to his feet. “Have you eaten?”
“No,” came Alexander's answer. Fishing out his phone, he informed, “I need to make a call.”
Sophia was intrigued by the news. “You're calling Mr. Schild?”
Having no intentions of keeping it from her, Alexander nodded. “Yeah.”
“About what happened this afternoon?”
“Yeah. Some people pry too much.”
Sophia instantly thought about Nina and clicked her tongue. “True.”
After casting her another glance, Alexander moved to the balcony to dial Samuel's number.
Samuel was surprised to receive two calls from Alexander in a day.
“Alex?”
“I want to remove an actress from the film crew of Petite Youth,” informed Alexander straightforwardly.
He did not bother saying it in a polite way.
The request took Samuel by surprise, but he quickly came to his senses. “Are you talking about the
one who knocked on the door this afternoon?”
“She has a bad character and too many flaws.”
The reason was so perfect, so much so that Samuel believed Petite Youth would flop if he did not get
rid of Nina.
Then again, Samuel would not follow orders blindly. “Petite Youth will be wrapping up in less than ten
days. Do you know how long of a delay it'll cause if I remove the second female lead now?”
“There are other artists at Sophia's company.”
Samuel could not help but take in a deep breath when he heard that. “You want to help bring in an
artist from Sophia's company on top of punishing Nina?”
Alexander stared into the dark sky. “Well, you can say no, but I'll be holding you accountable for the two
disturbances I got from your film crew.”
This is getting out of hand, and I am the boss.
When Samuel thought of how ruthless Alexander could be, the former gave in. “There, there. We've
been friends for over thirty years. Anyone who messes with you messes with me, too. Don't worry. It's
just the second female lead, anyway. I'll just pull her out. Remember to send me the contact details of
the artist from Sophia's company later.”
“Okay,” Alexander responded and hung up right away, leaving Samuel no opportunity to catch up with
his friend.
Geez... How cruel and cold-blooded!
