Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 374

Wendy didn't expect to stumble upon a treasure.

If this script had appeared two months earlier, she would have picked it over the movie she was already working on.

Sadly, her next film was already in advanced stages, making it hard to abandon.

However, there might still be a way out.

James pondered for a moment. Then, his eyes sparkled as he suggested, "How about you guys have a boxing match? If they win, you agree to film the movie."

His proposal seemed oddly casual. But James was a regular at Glorian Boxing matches.

He was a huge fan of Glorian Boxing, and his two bodyguards were also skilled Glorian Boxers.

How might an ordinary person stand a chance against such experts?

A wrong move could prove fatal.

His proposal was too much.

Wendy stood up, intending to dissuade James from the idea.

But before she could speak, James turned to her and asked, "Wendy, do you want to help them fight?"

Wendy froze. "No, Your Highness, I only wanted to remind you. Shouldn't we head upstairs for drinks?"

James clapped. "Let's bring the drinks down here."

...

Someone soon brought the drinks from the winery, as well as a sofa.

The same man went to negotiate with Violeta and her group as before.

As Violeta and her group contemplated slipping away, James had already planned another form of entertainment.

It was their bad luck to run into the royal family today. However, the worst lay ahead.

The man informed them that James wanted them to box.

If they won, Wendy would agree to direct the film, and James would even sponsor them.

Clearly, James had already regarded Wendy as the reward for the winners.

Eugene's eyes widened with shock. "Boxing? Stop joking! We don't know how to box!"

The man remained expressionless. "You have to box even if you don't know how."
