Anna looked at Rachel with a smile, saying, "You not only meet him in private, but also act in the movie he invests, which means that you don't want to completely end the relationship with him, right?"
Stunned, Rachel asked, "What do you mean? When do act in the movie invested by him?"
"You don't know?" Anna looked at her doubtfully. She thought to herself, 'Is she pretending?'
However, when she thought about it, Rachel was immediately understood what Anna meant. "Does Mr. Clark invest in the movie that I am filming now?"
With cold eyes, Anna scornfully said, "You just know it now?"
Rachel flew into a rage, saying, "How dare Michelle lie to me? Miss Anna, I will look into it later. But there are some things you don't need to warn me. I will do what I should do. As for your fiance, please watch him carefully! I don't want you to get me wrong."
After saying that, Rachel turned around and went back to the casting group.
As soon as Rachel returned to her dressing room, she asked Michelle to come over and asked, "Tell me the truth. Does Mr. Clark invest in this movie?"
Michelle was stunned. How did Rachel get the news? Didn't Mr. Clark keep it a secret?
"You don't want to answer my question? Does that mean what I said is true?" Staring at Michelle coldly, Rachel hated to be cheated.
Michelle shook her head and replied, "Rachel, I don't know about it. At least when we decided to take this movie, Mr. Clark didn't invest in it, but I don't know whether he invested in after that."
Rachel sneered. How could he do that?
Without saying anything more, she took out her phone and started to call Clark.
"What's up?"
It was a low and hoarse voice coming from the other side of the line. However, she Rachel not in the mood to enjoy the music.
"Mr. Clark, have you invested the movie I'm filming now?" Rachel asked directly.
"What's wrong?" Clark asked. He didn't plan to lie to her.
"Didn't I make it clear to you, Mr. Clark? I won't accept acting in any movie invested by you!" Rachel was very angry, so her voice was a little trembling.
Clark replied in a cold voice, not allowing Rachel to refuse, "It depends on you whether you take the movie or not, but it's my business whether I invest the movie or not!"
Rachel's eyes were fumed with rage. "Clark, do you know you have gone too far? You will only make your fiancee misunderstand me more deeply! I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Please, just give me a peaceful and free life!"
Clark asked, "Did she come to you once again?"
Without answering him directly, Rachel only said in a hurry, "Please keep your fiancee away from me. I have no time to deal with her!"
After hanging up the phone, Rachel turned to Michelle and asked, "What's the liquidated damage mentioned in the contract?"
"Ten times of your salary..." Michelle lowered her head and said uneasily, standing aside.
Stunned, it took Rachel a while to react. She asked doubtfully, "10 times?"
Michelle nodded and said, "This is always the way we sign a contract."
"Then will the other actresses also have the same contract with me?" Rachel asked subconsciously.
After hesitating for a while, Michelle shook her head and said, "No. only we are the exceptions."
"What does Clark mean? He is going too far!" Rachel was really angry. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She knew clearly that she couldn't afford the liquidated damages.
Most of her salary had been used to pay off the debts. How could she have the money to pay for liquidated damages?
Michelle immediately came up to persuade her, "Well, Rachel, don't be angry. What Mr. Clark did is for your own good. If you go out to find the movie on your own, what if you meet a lecher like director Neil?"
As soon as he entered the lounge, Clark finally stopped and turned to face Rachel.
His eyes were deep and oppressive, which made Rachel feel difficult to breathe.
A trace of panic flashed through her eyes. "Why... Why are you here?"
With an indifferent expression, Clark said disapprovingly, "Shouldn't I pay a visit to this movie I invested?"
When it came to this, Rachel was furious again. "I have already said that I will give the money back to you. You shouldn't hide the cooperation from me!"
"I'm doing this for your own good. There are all kinds of people mixed up in the entertainment circle. Are you really willing to take risks?" Clark raised his eyebrows.
Rachel turned her face to the other side and said stubbornly, "It's my business about how to choose my way in the future. I can't live under your protection for my whole life! Moreover, you are going to get married soon. People will misunderstand you if you defend me like this."
"A clean hand wants no washing. What are you afraid of?" Clark replied calmly.
Turning around to look at him, Rachel said coldly, "Mr. Clark, you saved me, too. Should we call it even? There is no point in doing so!"
With a grim face, Clark asked coldly," Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"
"Yes," replied Rachel honestly, "I don't want to be misunderstood that I'm the other woman between you and Anna!"
"Who dares to say that? You are avoiding me!"
His words seemed to have hit the nail on her head. Rachel felt scared. She continued, "why should I avoid you? There is nothing between us!"
Her duplicity irritated him so much that his face turned livid. All of a sudden, Clark stepped forward, grabbed her head and pressed his lips against hers!
With her eyes wide open, Rachel wondered what Clark was doing?
He gave her a forced kiss? How could he do this? He was going to marry another woman!
