Chapter 100
Tom shot Cohen a dark look. Everyone on set knew about the drama between Cohen and Zack. Tom immediately shut down Simone’s suggestion. He said, “No way. Cohen is still a rookie. I don’t think he’s up for this role
“It’s fine. The industry always needs new blood, and honestly, Cohen is exactly the kind of male lead I had in mind.” Simone replied.
Hearing her words, Cohen looked up at her, a flicker of hope in his eyes. But it faded just as quickly as he dropped his head again,
At the same time. Zack and Vivian exchanged a look, and their faces both changed.
Vivian’s face turned bright red, her eyes wide with anger. She said. “Who do you think you are to replace us? The rights are with our company now. You’re just some newbie writer. What makes you so special
She thought. ‘Even if she’s a writer, she’s still just a broke nobody
Simone let out a cold laugh and said, “Why? Because you insulted my work. To be blunt, your acting is absolutely terrible.”
Her words were like a slap across Zack and Vivian’s faces.
Zack was shaking with rage. He lost his temper and, without thinking, smashed the cup in his hand onto the floor. He said, “Sure, your script is koad, but without the buzz that Vivian and 1 bring, your show is doomed to flop!”
After all these years as a respected veteran in the industry, no one had ever dared call his acting bad, especially not some rookie writer. Zack was fuming, breathing heavily
Simone just watched him lose it, completely unfazed. Instead, she smirked and said, “Zack, you’re not exactly young anymore. Maybe it’s time you learned how to control your temper.
“And let me set the record straight without
you DVD, this show will be a hit. With you and Vivian, it’s guaranteed to bomb.”
Then Simone looked Zack up and down. She let out a mocking stort and added, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re already thirty. Still acting like this at your age? With that kind of attitude, you’ll be out of the industry before long”
Her words stunned everyone in the room. Onlookers were whispering among themselves.
Our said, “Gotta say, this girl is something else. She is so bold, going for it if she is not happy”
Another said, “First time I’ve ever seen Zack get told off. Honestly? Kinda satisfying”
Someone said. “I’m siding with Blackthorn here. To be real, Zack is just unbearable. He forgets
is his lines all the time, so we end up working late, sometimes not wrapping up until eight at night.
“There were so many times I couldn’t pick my son up from school. The poor kid had to sit there by himself from five until eight. Seeing that just broke my hear. More than once, I ended up crying alone in my room.”
Gor said, “And don’t even get me started on Vivian. She’s always late, always leaving early, acting like a total diva and bossing us around like she’s an beiress or something I honestly don’t get what her fans see in her.”
A staff member said, “Blackthorn is different. She’s young but super polite, always treats us with respect. She speaks gently, and even buys us coffee sometime. She never acts superior.”
Another chained in, Tmn with Blackilom, too.
Someone said. “Zark is old, grumpy, and slow. Every time, it’s him making us work overtime. II 1 dichi’t need this job to support my family. I’d Diever work on a set with lain. Compared to hum, Blackdun is lunestly an angel”
Everyone in the room was talking, and some of the chatter drilled over to Zack. His face was turing cold. He made a mental note to senle this score with Sunwa
as stormy.

darker by the second, his eyes
Zack said, You You’re just a rookie writer. Aren’t you afraid of crossing me!
Sunone just laughed, completely infazed. She said. “Throw whatever dirty tricks you’ve got at me. I’ll be waiting. Then the turned to Tom and said, “Tell your company, the rights are off the table. Fin terminating the contract
Hearing this. Tom, Zack, and Vivian all looked stunned, their faces changing instantly.
Avery’s face changed, too. She grabbed Simone by the arm and dragged her away. Only when they were somewhere private did she finally let go.

Avery stared at Simone, eyes wide with worry. She said. “Simone, are you out of your mind! If you break the contract now, you’ll have to pay a penalty!
Simone just shrugged. Her tone was calm and indifferent as she said. “Td rather pay the penalty than watch them ruin my work”
“That’s 3.3 million!” Avery blurted out, her heart aching just thinking about that kind of money

But Simone didn’t seem bothered at all. Since she’d made up her mind, she was sure it was the right move.
