Chapter 142
Meanwhile, in Frontier Bay.
Josie saw Reba sitting under a sunshade, massaging her legs when she returned to the filming set
at Frontier Bay. Thetter was wearing a déjected look.
It was hard for the past few days, and she had tried her best to fight for the role.
As an actress, she seldom did house chores herself, not to mention work in the fields. However, in
order to experience the main protagonist’s hardship, she learned a lot.
“Reba, don’t be discouraged. Maybe you will be chosen, the assistant encouraged Reba.
Reba was obviously not confident. “Those who stayed are supported by capital. Ashley was
obviously chosen by default. Esme and Seth are both good actresses. The rest either have
connections or are being funded. So, I have no hope for the
role.
Although Reba knew there was no hope, she still worked hard on it.
Sebastian handed Reba a ss of water. He was really impressed by Reba after working some
time with her. Thetter worked harder than anyone.
“I’m d that you’re chosen. You didn’t let Jo down.” Reba was a little disappointed, but she still put
on a smile while flirting with Sebastian. She said, “Sebbie, all the best. As a manager, Jo is also a
neer. Her position needs your help to be consolidated”
Sebastian’s ears turned red. Putting on an aloof demeanor, he said, “Got it.”
“What a brat.” Reba smiled and touched Sebastian’s muscr waist.
Sebastian swiftly shot up from his seat like a newly–lit firecracker. “Reba, please behave yourself!”
Looking at Sebastian’s gloomy face, Reba wondered if she had gone overboard.
She thought, “He is obviously avoiding me these days. Is he tired of me?”
A trace of disappointment shed in her eyes. Reba was not really interested in Sebastian, but she
couldn’t help but feel as though she was not attractive at all.
Back in school, she had many suitors, but they were not to her liking. On the other hand, those she
pursued were not the least bit interested in her.
“What a disaster. Not only was I hopeless to join the crew, but I was also disliked by Sebbie,” she
thought.
“I want to know what Mr. Cornerstone’s opinion is.”
Josie was chatting with several assistant directors, hoping to gain information about Reba’s
situation.

These assistants obviously didn’t know who Josie was. They noticed she was a neer and replied
impatiently. “Are you asking us? If Mr. Cornerstone is willing to see you, you can ask him.”
Josie sighed and walked to Alex’s studio.
“Hey, do you understand the rules? Do you think anyone can see Mr. Cornerstone?” One of the
assistants was annoyed. “Why? Do I need to undergo a ritual to see Mr. Cornerstone?” Josie frowned.
“You..”
“Let her in.”
The assistant wanted to say something else. However, Ashley appeared by the door and smiled at
Josic, seemingly pitying her.
“Ashley, do you know each other?” said the assistant respectfully, shing Ashley an ingratiating smile.
This was the way of the entertainment industry. People would fawn over the rich and powerful, while
the powerless would get a taste of the fickleness of the world.
Josie narrowed her eyes and walked in without saying anything.
“Is this manager a neer?”
“Who is she responsible for?”
“Do you remember that Reba?”
Several assistants and staff gathered together to talk about Reba.
“That woman? She sure is something and is hot, too. I heard from her previouspany that in order
to seek resources, they ordered her to be an escort. She might have been taken advantage of by so
many people.”
“No
“No wonder she would rather follow a new manager than stay in the previouspany.”
“What a miserable actress!”
“But this woman seems quite unrestrained. Want to try hooking up with her?”
A meaningful smile appeared on the assistant directors‘ faces.
“She is but a used product. We don’t need to worry about anything.”
As soon as the man finished his words, a pail of dirty water was sshed over.
Sebastian threw the pail to the ground, the look in his eyes gloomy.
“How disgusting for a group of men to badmouth a woman behind her back, he thought,
“What are you doing!” the male assistant fumed.
Sebastian smiled innocently. “Sorry, I didn’t know someone was here…
The group of men stood up angrily. They were not afraid of Sebastian, as he was a neer.
“You didn’t know? Are you blind? Apologize andpensate me!” one of them said arrogantly.
Sebastian was unfazed by it. He had both hands in his pockets and was wearing such an indifferent
expression that sent chills down their spines.
The men exchanged nces, thinking. This brat is giving out a powerful aura.”
“Okay, how muchpensation do you need?” Sebastian stood quietly.
“Our outfits cost a few thousand dors at least. You should at leastpensate us 15 thousand
dors!”
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. “If I don’t want to… Will you beat me up?”
“Cut the crap!” The assistants got up, ready to beat Sebastian
1. up.
“Okay, okay. Please don’t do it. Fll ask my assistant to get you money.” Sebastian’s acting skills were
impressive.
Only then did the assistants calm down.
However, Sebastian smiled and turned to look at his assistant, who recorded the whole situation with a
phone. “Have you recorded everything?”
His assistant nodded.
“Well, send it to the police. Tell the police that they are extorting and threatening me,” Sebastian said
with an innocent expression.
The assistants‘ faces changed dramatically, and they charged forward, prepared to snatch the phone.
“I recorded all these, too.” Sebastian’s assistant dodged quickly.
Sebastian grabbed the wrist of the person that was about to hit him and kicked the person away, his
movement deft.
“You!”
“I can’t believe you lot were badmouthing a woman behind her back I can spare you this time:
However, If I hear this again, these videos will be sent to the police and the media immediately. If you
don’t believe me, go ahead and try it.”
No one dared to cause trouble in this industry.
The power of public opinion was frightening. It could effortlessly destroy a crew and a movie.
Just wait!” The assistant director gritted his teeth. He was arrogant just because he had a few
connections with big shots. “Okay, I’ll wait.” Sebastian squinted his cold eyes.
On the other side, the cameras, props, and costumes of the crew were all in ce. All that was left was
the selection of the cast and themencement of the shooting
“Mr. Cornerstone, I would like to know about Reba’s situation, Josie asked courteously.
Hazel was also there in the room. She lit a cigarette and looked at Alex.
Alex was apparently put on the spot. He looked at Josie and then at Hazel. “Well, Reba is a very
dedicated and capable
actress… But-”
Josie interrupted, “But what? Clusia Media Group has a good reputation in the industry. Because of
this, so many actors and employees are willing to contribute to thepany. If they don’t get fair
treatment, many people will feel disappointed toward Clusia Media Group.
“Of course, we will submit the entire name list of the actors and actresses, but the final decision is up to
our CEO. If you ask me now, I can’t give you an answer. Alex shrugged.
The CEO of Clusia Media Group has always been a mysterious person. Are you able to disclose their
identity?” Hazel asked Indifferently.
Back then, Hazel needed a new identity to restart her career in Hofcaster. So, she chose Clusia Media
Group as her first choice because it was a newpany with no background and could be easily
controlled. She knew that Yuri was young and capable.

However, she had never seen the actual owner of Clusia Media Group yet.
At first, Hazel thought Yuri was only trying to mystify her and that the person behind thepany didn’t
have any actual control. However, now it seemed that a mysterious big shot really existed,
“Yeah. Mr. Gibson is an investor in the film, but we haven’t even seen the CEO of Clusia Media Group
before. That’s weird. right?” Ashley smiled as she poured a ss of water for Alex.
*Even I have never seen him before, too,” Alex said helplessly before adding. “But I heard that the CEO
and Mr. Yancey are brothers.”
Josie frowned and thought, “They’re brothers?”
