Chapter 218 Arranged Marriage
Ava bristled at Joseph’s comment, feeling her nerves being rubbed raw. Indignantly, she hissed,” Is this how you train your employees?”
Joseph did not even spare her a glance. He scanned the lobby, taking in the scene, and asked, ” What’s going on here?”
Lucas turned his head and quietly explained the situation.
“Remove them from the premises,” Joseph commanded.
“But they’ve already paid for the location, and breaching the contract would require triple compensation…”
“Do we not have enough money to pay for it?” Joseph asked, his voice indifferent.
“Understood, Mr. Joseph.”
After giving the order, Joseph and Alexander entered the elevator together.
Lucas called the security guards to disperse the crew.
“We’ve already paid for the location. You can’t do this to us. It’s against the rules,” the producer objected
With a polite smile, Lucas responded, “Our company will compensate for the location fee according to the stipulated penalty in the contract.”
“But we haven’t finished filming yet. The actors and staff have put in tremendous effort. Let’s try to understand each other now.”
Lucas remained resolute and said, “I apologize for the inconvenience, but there are certain individuals whom Mr. Joseph does not favor.”
The producer’s face turned livid, and he angrily turned his head to glare at Ava, who was arrogantly lecturing Wyatt. He was so furious that he immediately called Calvin. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, the producer had an impressive status and was not afraid of these starlets who relied on connections.
Calvin received the call while he was with Noah Gunter, who gestured for him to answer the call. When he saw it was the producer calling, he thought it was work-related and put the call on speaker.
The producer briefly explained the situation, maintaining a relatively polite tone, but there was an underlying tone of complaint. “Mr. Calvin, there are so many people in my crew. It’s not just my efforts that have been wasted. Money is a minor issue. The real problem is finding a suitable replacement location on such short notice. This is really difficult to handle.”
Calvin had interacted with this producer before and knew he was a straightforward man who spoke his mind without reservation. After understanding the situation, he immediately apologized on behalf of Ava.
Calvin’s sigh resonated with a sense of helplessness. “Ava is nothing like Luciana,” he lamented.
Noah chuckled softly in agreement. “Bringing her into the entertainment industry was a mistake.
Grandpa and Grandma never favored such complex environments.”
Calvin could not help but agree with Noah’s assessment, realizing the truth in his words. However, the realization came too late. Looking back, Calvin remembered how he had ventured into the entertainment industry, a decision that had caused Luciana’s parents to view him as unreliable and reject his pursuit of her. And now, caught up in a moment of excitement, he had unwittingly dragged their granddaughter into the same complex world.
Noah shook his head, unwilling to provide advice for him.
