Reborn Rich: Prices Dropped, My Savings Didn't novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Chapter 78: You Have to State Your Requirements

At least, judging by the online feedback, everyone seemed to really approve of her playing Flora.

This, more than anything, made her happy.

Finn was tidying up when he said, "At lunchtime, I’ll go buy some extra dishes Lily likes. We should have a proper celebration."

"No..." Lily Sterling looked at Finn and shook her head. "Let’s not be too conspicuous. It wouldn’t be a good look."

"What’s the harm in celebrating by ourselves? Lily, you’re being way too cautious," Yuna said.

Lily Sterling pursed her lips. "I’m new here. I should keep a low profile."

Finn and Yuna exchanged a look and could only nod in the end. Finn said, "Actually, Lily has a point. I just passed by Jessica Reynolds’s dressing room and heard her throwing a fit. I think it was about the promotional stills. If Lily is spotted celebrating right now, she’ll definitely offend Jessica Reynolds."

Yuna’s excitement gave way to realization. "That’s right. I thought the production would release Jessica Reynolds’s photos this round. How did it end up being Lily and Andrew Sutton? Jessica Reynolds and Sophie Grant are the two second female leads. Sophie’s were released, so why weren’t Jessica’s?"

Finn shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

Hearing this made Lily Sterling even more alarmed. She quickly asked Yuna, "Does this mean I’ve offended a senior actress?"

"Of course not. This is a matter for the promotions team. What has it got to do with us? It’s not like you had any control over it." Yuna gave Lily Sterling a reassuring smile. "Don’t worry about these things. The show’s promotion is run by a professional team, and they certainly know more than we do. Just look at the effect it had today. That proves they’re professionals."

This reassured Lily Sterling somewhat.

She just wanted to focus on her acting. She didn’t really care about getting famous, and she certainly didn’t want to steal anyone’s spotlight.

Meanwhile, Mia returned with news.

"What did you say?"

Jessica Reynolds stared at Mia in disbelief, as if she hadn’t understood a single word. "Say that again!"

Mia lowered her head, her voice trembling. "The promotions team said... your set of promotional photos is lost. They can’t find them."

"What about the negatives? Are there no negatives?" Jessica Reynolds pressed.

Mia shook her head. "No, the negatives are gone, too..."

"How is that possible!" Jessica Reynolds glared, her expression turning vicious. "It just had to be *my* photos that got lost? The negatives are gone, too?"

No one in the room dared to breathe. The whole thing sounded incredibly fishy.

If they’d really been lost by accident, someone would have informed her team much earlier. And knowing Jessica Reynolds, she would have absolutely squeezed in the time for a reshoot.

But instead, there had been no news at all; they’d simply not released her photos.

Jessica Reynolds had been in the entertainment industry for years; she couldn’t be so easily fooled by an excuse like that.

As her anger subsided, the more she thought about it, the more something felt off. Finally, she turned to Mia. "Impossible. Go contact someone on the promotions team and get a clear answer. Aren’t you on good terms with that guy, Mu? Go ask him. It’s fine to sweeten the deal a little. Just get to the bottom of this for me."

’I’d like to see just who has the audacity to sabotage me!’

「At ten in the morning」

Cecilia Sterling finally arrived at Starwood Film Base.

She had contacted James Lockwood in advance, hoping to borrow a professional from Locke Entertainment’s legal department. To her surprise, when she arrived, James Lockwood was there in person.

"Mr. Lockwood?" Cecilia Sterling said, a little surprised to see him.
