Chapter 144 Unconditional Support
Sean had encountered quite a number of people in the entertainment industry. Some who seemed
clean on the surface turned out to be even wilder than some wealthy heirs behind closed doors.
Then there were those polite and well-mannered actresses who treated their assistants like dirt. when the cameras weren’t rolling. It was all too common.
Sean couldn’t help but think that if Laura could see Abigail’s capabilities, her assistant Hensey
wouldn’t have spoken about her to Lewis in that manner.
Unable to reach Abigail on the phone, Sean decided to call Lewis directly.
At that moment, Lewis had just finished another call. Seeing Sean’s call coming in, he braced
himself and answered, “Mr. Graham…”
Anthony and Sean were two tough nuts to crack.
“What’s going on between Abigail and Laura? Can you give me the lowdown?” Sean’s tone was surprisingly amicable.
Lewis wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone somewhat weak as he explained, “It’s still under investigation. I asked Miss Quinn, and she said Laura wasn’t satisfied with the costumes, but Laura denied it. Now, both sides are at a standstill. Laura’s assistant is unhappy and even posted on
Instagram, accusing Miss Quinn of lying… It’s driving me crazy.”
“Why cast a young actress in a historical drama with such profound cultural significance?” Sean immediately questioned.
“It’s what the investors wanted. I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. Getting this investment for the show was already a miracle.” Lewis sounded helpless.
Sean tapped his desk. “Is it her company’s demand? How much did they invest?”
“They invested sixteen million.” Lewis sighed.
Historical dramas, especially ones shot on location, were certainly costly affairs.
“Director Lewis, all you need to do is stay on top of this situation. Today, I’ll keep Laura occupied so you have some breathing room. Find the right moment. Whether you can assert yourself is up to you, understand?” Sean concluded and promptly ended the call.
Laura’s dissatisfied with her costume? That probably means she didn’t find it flattering enough to enhance her ordinary looks.
After Abigail finished discussing things with Anthony, the latter suggested using another artist’s scandal to divert attention, temporarily stalling public opinion. Then, he would have Lewis quickly. release a statement, suggesting it was a misunderstanding. He would also discreetly pressure Laura’s company, hoping she wouldn’t make things too unsightly and let the matter blow over. If things. didn’t work, Abigail should reveal herself as Alana.
But Abigail couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t the right approach. It was like planting a time
bomb.
If Laura finished filming and later privately leaked something, L.Moon would be irreparably damaged. Besides, bringing up Abigail’s identity as Alana at this point would be a deliberate act of
suppression.
She declined and decided to speak with Laura herself.
Just as Abigail was about to go looking for Laura, her phone rang.
