After Rebirth She Strikes Back (Simone) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Ever since Innocence blew up across the country, Avery had handled selling Simone’s comic rights, both at home and abroad, as well as the radio drama and audiobook rights.

When it came to the TV and movie rights, there were just too many people fighting over them. Avery still hadn’t found the right buyer for the movie rights, but she did find someone suitable for the TV rights.

A few months back, Sky Pictures offered a pretty generous price. Avery ended up selling the TV rights to them. Sky Pictures was the top studio in Sogin, and that was exactly why Avery agreed to the deal,

The crew planned to officially start filming on Monday, Sky Picnires invited Shinone to be there in person, and since Avery was free that day, she went along with Simone to the set.

Avery had already been in touch with the director before. When they arrived, she took the initiative to introduce Simone. She said, “Tom, this is Blackthorn, the author of Innocence”

Seeing Simone this young, Tom was taken aback. He asked, “You mean her, this girl?”

Avery nodded with a smile. She said, “I know it’s a surprise, but that’s really how it is” She wasn’t fazed by Tom’s reaction. She’d felt the same way the first time she met Simone.

It was the first official day of filming for Innocence. Simone sat next to Tom, watching as the leads ran through their scene.

The female lead was the popular actress, Vivian, and the male lead was the award–winning actor, Zack. In the show, Zack played David, a troublemaker fresh out of the police academy, while Vivian played Luna, David’s girlfriend.

At the start of the story, David’s parents got on the wrong side of a gang through their business and were brutally murdered at home. David was determined to avenge them and decided to go undercover in the gang by himself.

But before that, to keep Luna safe, David had no choice but to break up with her. The first scene they were filming was the breakup.

David had just finished his parents‘ funeral when he got a text from Luna. He glanced at his phone, grabbed a cab, and headed to the spot him

sent

As soon as Luna saw David, she gave his arm a hard twist and demanded an answer, “Where the hell have you been these past few days! What took you so long?”

“Nowhere. Just at home, resting.” David replied, hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable as he looked at her.

Luna snorted. She said, “David, this is your last warning. If you ever ignore my calls again, we’re breaking up With that, she linked her arm through

She grinned and continued, “Come on, I found this amazing place the other day: Let’s go eat together. She didn’t notice at all how distracted David

‘m not going” David said seriously,

Laua froze for a second. Then she let out a laugh, half angry, half amused. She grabbed his ear and scolded, “You are something. David. You think you’re all grown up now: You even dare to say no to me.”

David suddenly shook off her hand and stepped back, putting distance between them. His eyes were full of impatience as he said, “Luna, do you even realize how annoying you are when you act like this?”

Lima stared at him in disbelief. She said, “David, you used to say that was what you liked most about me.”

David replied. “That was before. Look at yourself, dressing like that, acting like that. There’s nothing feminine about you. I’m done with you”

Luna’s face went pale, her eyes turning red. She asked, “What are you saying?”

Seeing her eyes fill with tears, David’s heart clenched. He balled his lists, forcing himself to say the words that would hurt her most, “Let’s break up. I can’t stand girls with such a bad temper

His tone was still casual, but as he spoke, the light in his eyes was completely gone.

Luna fought back her tears and shouted at David. “Fine, break up then just don’t come crawling back!”

Simque watched the two of thein perform, her brows knitting slightly.

Chapter 98

For such a simple scene, Zack and Vivian had already been called in stop seven or eight times.

Zack kept forgetting his lines or saying them wrong, while Vivian delivered hers with zero emotion, like she was just reading off the script. She even kept breaking character and laughing, showing no professionalism at all.

Even their last take was barely watchable, but for Simone, it was still nowhere near good enough.

At that moment, Tom gave them a hand signal. He said, “Alright, that’s a

As soon as they heard this, Zack and Vivian left the set, heading for their trailers,

Simone looked at Tom and asked, “Tom, is this the kind of work ethic and efficiency you expect from your cast?”

Her voice was loud enough for everyone on set to hear. Zack and Vivian both stopped in their tracks.

Vivian was a trending star, used to being treated like royalty on every set. This was the first time anyone had ever called her out for her attitude.

She immediately turned around and walked up to Simone, giving her a quick once over. Seeing how young Simone was, a flash of contempt crossed her eyes.
