Chapter 65
The makeup artist spent an hour giving Charlie makeup. When he came out of the dressing room, the staff members outside were all ready
“Can we start?” Joe asked Charlie with a smile.
Charlie nodded. “Yeah.”
Joe smiled and immediately shouted, “Get ready and start filming.”
Charlie went on stage and started acting.
The plot he acted in today was that a young man who had been kicked out of his family and covered in scars encountered a wild beast outside. He fought with the beast and finally escaped death.
The scenes were all built with green screens, and only Charlie was acting on the stage. He was serious, and he got into the state immediately.
Rebecca stood aside and held her breath nervously. She watched Charlie’s acting style, as well as what he had taught her before about how to find the camera while filming.
Charlie was an excellent actor. He finished filming many scenes without needing any retakes.
Even Joe was surprised, having a big grin on his face all the time.
Charlie finished three scenes in one go without any bloopers. Joe was overjoyed, smiling with satisfaction.
“Chuck, you’re in a good state today. You are indeed suitable for the role of Quentin Burg!” Joe laughed.
Charlie came down from the stage with a bright smile on his face. “I think so!”
Joe laughed again, looking very happy.
Rebecca handed Charlie a bottle of water.
Charlie glanced at her, then took the water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank it.
News of Theodore’s visiting Janet spread as everyone took a break and prepared for lunch.
A group of waiters in restaurant uniforms brought in many lunch boxes. Janet said with a smile, “Hey, everyone, come over to have lunch. Mr. Edwards is treating us to lunch today.”
Those who were receiving the crew’s work lunches gave up their meals upon hearing this and ran towards Janet excitedly.
Chapter 63
Rebecca and Charlle turned around and saw Janet and Theodore.
Theodore stood beside Janet, but he stared at Rebecca as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze.
“Bah, that bastard. It’s just a meal.
“Becky, let’s go. I’ll take you to a feast!”
Charlie snorted disdainfully, then turned to pull Rebecca and walked out.
Rebecca was a little worried that Theodore would catch up and make trouble, just like the last time they were filming the variety show.
Fortunately, until they got outside, there were no footsteps behind them. Theodore did not follow.
Unexpectedly, when they came back from lunch, Joe announced the news.
The Edwards Group invested 20 million dollars in the crew of “Reverse Days” and became the currently largest investor.
Joe accompanied Theodore, grinning from ear to ear.
Charlie got angry and said, “I’ll invest 40 million dollars!”
Rebecca was stunned, looking at Charlie anxiously.
Debra quickly held Rebecca’s hand and whispered, “Don’t worry.”
Forty million dollars was not a big sum to the Carter family. The Edwards family could invest in this drama, and the Carter family could do it, too.
Joe was stunned when he heard that. He blinked and looked at Charlie in disbelief.
Theodore was shocked. He looked at Charlie. Charlie actually spent 40 million dollars just for a woman!
For a married woman!
How could Charlie be willing to do that?
Theodore thought about it and looked at Rebecca again. His sneer became contemptuous.
He thought, ‘Rebecca is really something. She could let Charlie spend 40 million dollars to defend her. No wonder she dares to think of marrying Charlie after divorcing me.’
“Mr. Carter, can we talk alone?” Theodore quickly shifted his gaze from Rebecca. He put on his usual cold expression, turned to look at Charlie, and spoke indifferently.

Chapter 65
Charlie looked at Theodore. As their gazes met, cold light seemed to flash in the air.
“Okay.” Charlie readily agreed.
“Dear bro… Don’t be impulsive!” Rebecca was anxious and almost called Charlie “brother” in front of Theodore. Fortunately, she bit back her words in time and quickly reminded Charlie not to be impulsive.
Charlie looked at her with a doting look. “It’s okay. You should trust me.”
Rebecca remained silent.
Theodore felt inexplicably disgusted upon seeing their interaction.
Charlie and Theodore went to an empty corner outside together.
“Mr. Carter, Rebecca is married, and she has children, Is it appropriate for you to do this?” Theodore asked in a cold
and calm voice.
Charlie smiled, “Aren’t you married and have a child? You and Janet even have an illegitimate child. Do you think it’s appropriate, Mr. Edwards?”
Theodore frowned upon hearing this, and his face became even colder. He was displeased, saying, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Charlie sneered, “Nothing to do with me? Huh, Mr. Edwards, you really have two sets of rules!”
“Charlie, with your conditions, it’s not difficult to have a better woman. Why do you have to cling to a married woman?
“Rebecca has nothing but a good–looking face. If you like beautiful women, I can send you a few.”
Theodore spoke in a cold tone, with a chill presence exuding from him. He tried hard to suppress his anger and talked to Charlie calmly.
The Carter family was not simple. Unless in a compelling situation, the Edwards family did not want to be enemies with it. If it were someone else, Theodore would have used the most malicious means to make the man regret approaching Rebecca.
