Chapter 164 Pulling Olivia Out
Finished
The next day, when Olivia arrived on set, she immediately noticed that something was off. Everyone in the crew was looking at her oddly.
“Does Olivia still not know about it? Poor girl.”
“Exactly. I used to think she wasn’t good enough, but these past few shoots convinced me her acting’s better
than anyone’s. What a shame.”
Trailing behind Olivia, Jared had dark circles under his eyes. He barely slept last night from his anxiety over Olivia’s situation and was now stumbling as he walked. Hearing the staff’s conversation filled Jared with a sense of dread.
Soon, Jos‘ assistant called Olivia over to the director’s chair that Jos was sitting on. Jos‘ expression was clearly grim. Besides him, Amelia was there, having also been called over.
Jos immediately felt conflicted to see Olivia.
Amelia began apologizing with a look of guilt the moment she saw Olivia, “Olivia, I’m really sorry about What happened yesterday. I was just trying to update my fans and didn’t expect the rumors… It’s caused such a huge misunderstanding, really…”

Then, yesterday, more rumors surfaced claiming Olivia was being arrogant on set and went as far as to slap Amelia, and she was altering the script without the crew’s permission.
Normally, Jos.wouldn’t have paid attention to useless gossip, but who would have thought the investors would pay attention to the gossip?
Jos looked at Olivia, making his internal struggle clear. If the investors wanted to replace any other actor in the cast, he wouldn’t have minded, but Olivia was the exception. He genuinely didn’t want to let her go.
Noticing Jos‘ hesitation, the assistant said to Olivia, “Actually, this movie is very different from Mr. Jos‘ usual work, so it’s already risky for the investors.
