Chapter 2559 Screwed Up
Selena embraced Eric’s arm, deliberately wanting to piss off the director. Then, she raised her chin provocatively.
She followed Eric out smugly.
Mr. Griffin saw how intimate the two of them were, and his face turned pale. He suddenly felt that his mind was blank.
Oops, he screwed up!
“Wait, Mr. Ferguson! We can discuss this. I’ll ask Lara’s sister to leave. Of course, we’ll reserve the guest role for Ms. Nelson…”
He ran over as he spoke and tried to stop Eric as best as he could.
“Mr. Ferguson, let’s discuss the investment. We just started filming today, so how could you withdraw your investment?”
Eric sneered. His voice was cold without a hint of warmth or emotion.
“I have the final say on my money, Mr. Griffin. To put it bluntly, I never had any hope for your film. The money I earn from you isn’t enough for me to buy clothes for someone else. The reason I invested in your film is because my woman has a cameo role in it. Otherwise, why would I come here?”
His words were harsh and resolute.
He did not show Mr. Griffin any respect.
Even Selena was stunned.
This was the first time Eric had spoken out about their relationship in an open and honest manner.
Eric held Selena’s hand tightly. His face was cold and stern.
“Since you’ve replaced her, I’ll just invest in another director and film.”
Eric’s face was rigid. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, and no one could see the emotions in his eyes, Selena could feel that Eric was on the verge of anger.
“Mr. Ferguson, I didn’t know about your relationship with Ms. Nelson. I thought she was just a fan that Harvey recommended. I didn’t know because she keeps saying that she doesn’t know you well…”
Mr. Griffin innocently wanted to explain himself.
However, Selena rolled her eyes.
Eric took her arm.
“Let’s get in the car.”
He did not want to hear Mr. Griffin’s remorseful explanation.
This stupid b*stard picked Lara’s sister over Selena, so he was asking for it!
Selena did not want to stay any longer because it was getting awkward.
After all, she had seen Mr. Griffin’s ingratiating behavior before.
Selena quickly brought Eric into the car while Mr. Griffin was still trying to explain and make amends on the side.
As soon as the bodyguards in the car came over, they pulled Mr. Griffin aside and shrugged him off.
It was useless no matter what he said.
When the two got into the car, Eric was still livid.
He took out his phone and handed it to Selena.
“Call Mitchell.”
Selena paused. She knew that he meant what he said.
She hesitated and said, “Eric, it’s not necessary. The cast of that film is huge, and everyone is paying attention to it. It will definitely become popular.”
Selena was just using Eric to provoke the director.
She did not intend to actually screw things up.
Eric took her hand away from his arm angrily and said in an annoyed voice, “You’re such a hypocrite. You only know how to beat and scold me, but when others bully you, you can’t even say a word..com You even wanted to let them go? Do you really think my money comes easy? If I didn’t see you at the golf club, I wouldn’t have bothered to speak to that Griffin guy. They secretly replaced you and let you come here for nothing. Do you really want to forget about it? I can’t. That’s just a slap in my face!”
Eric was obviously angry, but Selena was slightly shocked.
“You really invested in this film because of me?”
Selena felt like something hit her heart, and she was a little shocked.
It was such a popular cast, but Eric only invested in the film because of her.
Selena never dreamed that she would be pampered like that one day.
Eric had already done so much before they reconciled.
Selena’s heart was complicated at this time.
Inexplicable emotions lingered in her chest.
Eric snorted coldly and admitted bluntly.
“If not? Did I invest because a director flattered me? Or did I invest because of an over-40-year-old high-risk actress who had no acting skills? Selena, you’ve always been smart. Didn’t I give you enough hints on the golf course?”
Eric felt that he had expressed himself very blatantly at that time.
He taught her to play golf, picked up the ball for her, and even allowed her to be confident in front of everyone.
Eric only did this because he doted on her, but Selena did not even notice.
Selena paused. She pursed her lips and said, “I really didn’t expect that when we were on the golf course. I just thought you wanted to take advantage of me!”
Eric was speechless and exasperated.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
Eric urged her. “Call Mitchell now. I have other things to tell him.”
Selena nodded. Not wanting to delay his work, Selena dialed Mitchell’s number and handed the phone to Eric.
Her heart was a mess, but also a little sweet.
She never had this feeling before.
However, she only allowed herself to be immersed in it for a minute.
Selena sobered up instantly.
She could not be fooled by Eric’s generosity.
Mitchell quickly answered the phone. “Mr. Ferguson.”
“Withdraw our investment in Griffin’s film immediately. Don’t delay it. In addition, who the hell is Lara? Inform all the film and television companies under our company that this woman has a bad character and reject all of her projects.”
After Eric finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Selena’s temples trembled. “Don’t you have other things to say?”
“I’m so angry right now, and this is the only way to calm me down!”
Eric spoke righteously.
Selena pursed her lips.
She thought that it was a little too serious.
Just like that, Eric just boycotted someone.
Eric did not hear her and thought she was sympathizing with that woman.
“Don’t speak for her. I will never tolerate your stupidity.”
Selena took a deep breath.
“Don’t worry. I’m not a saint!”
Even if this punishment was a little serious, Lara was asking for it.
It was easy for Eric to boycott Lara, just like how it was easy for Lara to bully Selena.
Selena stopped sympathizing with her and thought that it was better to hurt her.
She paused and moved over to lean against Eric, smelling the warm scent on his body. Her heart was pounding.
“Thank you, Eric.”
Selena was grateful that someone who could do anything for profit prioritized her instead.
This was the first time Selena felt so unconditionally loved.
A small vine was trying to take root and sprout in her heart.
Eric sighed helplessly and patted her head.
“Selena, there are so many advantages to being with me. One of which is that you never have to bow to anyone, including me.”
“It sounds like you’re trying to sell yourself…”
“There’s no need for that. Didn’t I already get you?”
Selena was speechless.
Eric continued, “You just have to be better at discovering my strengths. Look. Although your idol Harvey introduced you to this film, he can’t stand up for you..com This shows that good- looking men aren’t reliable!”
……
On the set, Mr. Griffin was devastated and did not know what to do.
He postponed the filming.
The assistant director had already taken several shots of Lara’s sister, but none of them passed.
