After Rebirth She Strikes Back (Simone) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Zack turned thirty this year. He was hoping Innocence would be his ticket back to fame, one last shot at an award before making a grand exit from the industry and ending his acting career on a high note.

Vivian, on the other hand, was a trending starlet who still didn’t have a single real hit to her name. To land the female lead in Innocence, she forced herself to sleep with the company bass, swallowing her disgust.

If she didn’t get this role, all that humiliation would’ve been for nothing.

Tom, Zack, and Vivian all stared at Simone, just waiting for her to give in. Everyone thought Simone would cave under the weight of Sky Pictures influence in Sogin, but Simone’s next words completely blindsided them.

Simone said, “I already gave you your chance. Stop wasting your time. This contract is done” Her eyes were icy as she stared at Tom, her tone leaving no room for argument,

Tom was a fairly well–known name in the entertainment industry, and he’d tried every trick in the book, but Simone wouldn’t give him the time of day. His patience snapped, and the friendly look on his face slowly turned dark.

He said, “Blackthorn, are you sure

are you sure about this? What you’re doing is a breach of contract, and you’ll have to pay the penalty”

I’ll pay Simone shot back. She met his shadowed gaze without flinching, her tone calm and steady.

That’s 33 million we’re talking about!” Tom exclaimed. His eyes went wide.

Simone let out a soft laugh and said. “3.3 million? I’d pay 33 million if 1 had to.”“

At that Zack and Vivian’s faces went from furious to ghostly pale. They’d thought Simone was just a kid and would be scared of Sky Pictures‘ influence in Sogin, but they never expected Simone to be so tough

Suddenly, Tom gave a cold smile. He

no one will ever dare touch the righ. You’ve got quite the mouth for someone so young. But if you walk away from Sky Pictures, I guarantee

to Innocence.

He narrowed his eyes, the smile never reaching them, a clear threat in every word.

Simone arched a brow, a glint of ice in her eyes. She said coldly. “Tom, that’s none of your concern. Bottom line, I’d rather never sell the rights than Jet Sky Pictures have them.”“”

With that, Simone and Avery left the set together.

Not once

once did Simone’s expression waver. She looked as if she didn’t have a single worry in the world.

Avery hurried after Simone, worry etched all over her face. She finally couldn’t hold it in and asked, “Simone, are you not planning to sell the rights?”

course I am

,” Simone replied, sounding completely unbothered.

Avery asked, “Hut now that we’ve p

pissed off Sky Pictures, I doubt anyone will dare buy the right to Innocence. What are we supposed to do?”

She rubbed her temples, regret creeping in. She was really starting to wish she’d never sold the rights to Sky Pictures in the first place.

Seeing Simone’s calmness, Avery couldn’t decide whether to admire Simone’s nerves of steel or be more anxious herself. She asked, “Simone, aren’t you even a little worried?”

Simone palled Avery’s shoulder and said, “Helas, I already have a film company in mind.”

Avery’s eyes lit up instantly “Which company is it?” she asked, barely able to contain her excitement.

Simone smiled and said, “It’s not time yet. You’ll find out in a month” She thought, Of course it is not the right time. The company doesn’t even

raul yet

Avery unmediately deflated. She said, “Simone, you’re not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?”

Tin serious. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed in a month, Simone promised, her tone fir

Hearing how serious Simune was, Avery finally believed her. They hadn’t known each other long, but Avery could tell Simone wasn’t the type to joke about big things.

As expected, a month later, Avery got a message from Simone right on time, and the two met up at a café.

Chapter 101

Simone had barely sat down before she picked up her coffee to take a sip.

Avery, anxious, couldn’t wait any longer. She snatched the coffee from Simone’s hand and set it down on the table. She said. “Come on, Simone! You’re killing me here. Just tell me which company it is”

Simone was amused by Avery’s serious face and finally stopped teasing. She replied. “It’s SynNexus Pictures”

Avery’s eyes went wide in shock. She exclaimed. “SynNexus Pictures? Wait, you mean the previous Spence Group?”

Simone nodded, chuckling. She said. “Yes.”

The news was so good, Avery could hardly believe it. She said. “But Simone, are you sure SynNexus Pictures wants to buy our adaptation rights You know, the chairman of SynNexus Pictures and SynNexus Group is the same person. That’s some serious backing”

Avery thought. It would be honestly overwhelming if I could get to work with a company like that.
