Chapter 138
Because she had been tortured badly by Beau the night before, Eliza woke up at 10 o’clock in the morning the next day. When she woke up, she instinctively took a look at her phone. There were a dozen missed calls and a lot of unread messages. The last message was sent by Ethan. He sent a picture of Esme standing dazedly in the ward in her striped hospital gown. “It’s settled.” Eliza was startled. After a long while, she finally could not resist laughing out loud. Esme actually went to a mental hospital? She quickly clicked on other messages. Of the missed calls, two were from Ethan, one was from Mr. Long, and the rest were from Riley! The person who sent her the most messages was Riley. In the WeChat message, Riley was hysterical. “You’re something. You can even hire Ethan who has never been close to anyone. You’re really wiling to pay a high price just to get Esme into prison!” “Eliza, I warn you, the jade pendant I gave you is fake. The real one is still in my hands. If you want it, ask Ethan to leave as soon as possible!” “Eliza, you’re too cruel. Since you’ve gone all out, aren’t you afraid that I’ll fight you to the death?”
Among the dozen messages sent by Riley, they were either threatening or begging. In the end, his only purpose was to persuade Ethan to leave so that Esme could leave the mental hospital.
But how could Eliza agree to him? “Esme’s admitted in there. You win!” This was the last one. Eliza looked at the words on her phone and could not help but think of the hysterical appearance of Riley. Somehow, her mood got better. After hesitating for a while, she replied to Riley, “Dad, you should understand my painstaking efforts.” “Since Esme already has a mental illness that is intermittent, then she should be completely cured before leaving the hospital for the legal punishment, am I right?” “I found the expert Ethan. After all, he has the authority in the study of mental illness. Since he diagnosed Esme as a mental patient, she can only recuperate in a mental hospital.” “After all, if she is not ill, she will go to jail, right?” After saying these words, Eliza felt refreshed. Did Riley think that he could save Esme from imprisonment if he made Esme a fake psychiatric report?”
Right now, Esme was in a mental hospital… It was not much easier than going to jail. She might as well stay in jail comfortably. She expressed her gratitude to Ethan on WeChat. “It’s nothing. I’m an expert in this field. They happened to run into trouble.” After that, he smiled at Eliza. “Do you remember our agreement?” “I helped you this time. You owe me a favor.” “Yes, I won’t forget.” Eliza also smiled at him. “But I don’t think there’s anything I can help you with.” “You have.” Ethan replied quickly, “Don’t belittle yourself.” “Eliza, in the future… you’ll be able to help me a lot.” Eliza was confused by his words. At this moment, Eliza’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. “Hello, Ms. Lawson. I’m the new director of Purple City. Raul left the entertainment circle because of his personal problems. I’ll take over the film.” “We have to put up the schedule for our shooting. There is a meeting on the script in the afternoon, and I hope you can participate in it on time.” Eliza nodded. “Alright.” Recently, she had been busy with Roseane’s affairs. She almost forgot that she had another movie to film. She had just changed from a stand-in to a formal actress, so she was not used to this change. The meeting was scheduled at two o’clock in the afternoon. When Eliza finished washing and went downstairs, it was already 11 o’clock in the afternoon.
As he spoke, he glanced at Eliza. “As the female lead of this movie, you and Mr. Benton have a lot of kissing scenes. Do you understand?” Eliza nodded, “I know.” But as an actress, this was a normal job. She did not feel that it was anything. Gloria, who was standing aside, curled her lips and muttered, “She’s really lucky.” “Cough, cough.” Mr. Diaz took a deep breath. “But considering that this is your first film, our producer decided to prepare one for Mr. Benton…” “A substitute.” Eliza was stunned. A substitute for Julian? That was to say, she had to kiss the substitute instead? D Eliza was a little depressed. Although she did not want to kiss Julian, at least Julian was still an acquaintance to her. But a substitute… Who knew if it was a middle-aged greasy uncle? 2 Julian, who was on the side, also frowned. “You don’t have to, do you?” “It’s necessary.” The chief director wiped the sweat from his forehead. “This is… this is the request of the producer and investor.” Eliza felt a little despair. “Then what does this substitute… look like?” D
The chief director hesitated for a moment and passed her the list of the producer. “It’s one of these producer.” A producer as a subsitute? Wasn’t this a joke? Eliza angrily picked up the list. At a glance, she saw the name of the producer: Beau.
