Chapter 142
Meanwhile, in Frontier Bay.
Josie saw Rebecca sitting under a sunshade, massaging her legs when she returned to the filming set at Frontier Bay. The latter was wearing a déjected look.
It was hard for the past few days, and she had tried her best to fight for the role.
As an actress, she seldom did house chores herself, not to mention work in the fields. However, in order to experience the main protagonist’s hardship, she learned a lot.
“Rebecca, don’t be discouraged. Maybe you will be chosen, the assistant encouraged Rebecca.
Rebecca was obviously not confident. “Those who stayed are supported by capital. Ashley was obviously chosen by default. Esme and Seth are both good actresses. The rest either have connections or are being funded. So, I have no hope for the
role.
Although Rebecca knew there was no hope, she still worked hard on it.
Sebastian handed Rebecca a glass of water. He was really impressed by Rebecca after working some time with her. The latter worked harder than anyone.
“I’m glad that you’re chosen. You didn’t let Jo down.” Rebecca was a little disappointed, but she still put on a smile while flirting with Sebastian. She said, “Sebbie, all the best. As a manager, Jo is also a newcomer. Her position needs your help to be consolidated”
Sebastian’s ears turned red. Putting on an aloof demeanor, he said, “Got it.”
“What a brat.” Rebecca smiled and touched Sebastian’s muscular waist.
Sebastian swiftly shot up from his seat like a newly–lit firecracker. “Rebecca, please behave yourself!”
Looking at Sebastian’s gloomy face, Rebecca wondered if she had gone overboard.
She thought, “He is obviously avoiding me these days. Is he tired of me?”
A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Rebecca was not really interested in Sebastian, but she couldn’t help but feel as though she was not attractive at all.
Back in school, she had many suitors, but they were not to her liking. On the other hand, those she pursued were not the least bit interested in her.
“What a disaster. Not only was I hopeless to join the crew, but I was also disliked by Sebbie,” she thought.
“I want to know what Mr. Cornerstone’s opinion is.”
Josie was chatting with several assistant directors, hoping to gain information about Rebecca’s situation.
These assistants obviously didn’t know who Josie was. They noticed she was a newcomer and replied impatiently. “Are you asking us? If Mr. Cornerstone is willing to see you, you can ask him.”
Josie sighed and walked to Alex’s studio.
“Hey, do you understand the rules? Do you think anyone can see Mr. Cornerstone?” One of the assistants was annoyed. “Why? Do I need to undergo a ritual to see Mr. Cornerstone?” Josie frowned.

“You..”
“Let her in.”
The assistant wanted to say something else. However, Ashley appeared by the door and smiled at Josic, seemingly pitying her.
“Ashley, do you know each other?” said the assistant respectfully, flashing Ashley an ingratiating smile.
This was the way of the entertainment industry. People would fawn over the rich and powerful, while the powerless would get a taste of the fickleness of the world.
Josie narrowed her eyes and walked in without saying anything.
“Is this manager a newcomer?”
“Who is she responsible for?”
“Do you remember that Rebecca?”
Several assistants and staff gathered together to talk about Rebecca.
“That woman? She sure is something and is hot, too. I heard from her previous company that in order to seek resources, they ordered her to be an escort. She might have been taken advantage of by so many people.”
“No
“No wonder she would rather follow a new manager than stay in the previous company.”
“What a miserable actress!”
“But this woman seems quite unrestrained. Want to try hooking up with her?”
A meaningful smile appeared on the assistant directors‘ faces.
“She is but a used product. We don’t need to worry about anything.”
As soon as the man finished his words, a pail of dirty water was splashed over.
Sebastian threw the pail to the ground, the look in his eyes gloomy.
“How disgusting for a group of men to badmouth a woman behind her back, he thought,
“What are you doing!” the male assistant fumed.
Sebastian smiled innocently. “Sorry, I didn’t know someone was here…
The group of men stood up angrily. They were not afraid of Sebastian, as he was a newcomer.
“You didn’t know? Are you blind? Apologize and compensate me!” one of them said arrogantly.
Sebastian was unfazed by it. He had both hands in his pockets and was wearing such an indifferent expression that sent chills down their spines.
The men exchanged glances, thinking. This brat is giving out a powerful aura.”
“Okay, how much compensation do you need?” Sebastian stood quietly.
“Our outfits cost a few thousand dollars at least. You should at least compensate us 15 thousand dollars!”

Sebastian raised his eyebrows. “If I don’t want to… Will you beat me up?”
“Cut the crap!” The assistants got up, ready to beat Sebastian
“Okay, okay. Please don’t do it. Fll ask my assistant to get you money.” Sebastian’s acting skills were impressive.
Only then did the assistants calm down.
However, Sebastian smiled and turned to look at his assistant, who recorded the whole situation with a phone. “Have you recorded everything?”
His assistant nodded.
“Well, send it to the police. Tell the police that they are extorting and threatening me,” Sebastian said with an innocent expression.
The assistants‘ faces changed dramatically, and they charged forward, prepared to snatch the phone.
“I recorded all these, too.” Sebastian’s assistant dodged quickly.
Sebastian grabbed the wrist of the person that was about to hit him and kicked the person away, his movement deft.
“You!”
