Tim was shocked!
His pupils dilated with anger and he raged, “Who was it?”
Nell looked at him and smiled sarcastically. “Celine Jennings.”
“What?”
Tim was very surprised.
Besides him, anyone in the crew would be surprised to hear this answer.
It was not that they felt that Celine could not do something like this, but rather that there was no benefit for Celine to do this.
Everyone knew that because of the scandal, Celine’s career had been in a state of decline. She had not had much exposure in the past half year.
She put in a lot of effort to make a comeback this time, and finally got the role of the second female lead in this drama. Naturally, she would play it well and try to save her image in the eyes of the audience.
It was precisely because of this that this drama was especially important to her.
If the director and the lead actor of the drama were to have problems at the same time, the crew would definitely be affected, and if the event had a big impact, it might even affect the drama when it was broadcasted later.
If all these were affected, how would she, as the second female lead, be unaffected?
So, why would she do something like that?
Does she think that her reputation was not bad enough?
Did she just want to pull someone else down with her?
Tim simply could not think of a reason why she would do this.
Nell smiled and calmly poured him a cup of tea before doing the same for herself.
Then, she said sarcastically, “This might be called winning on the surface but losing both sides in secret! Although there aren’t that many idiots like this in the world, it’s undeniable that they exist.”
Tim was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table.
“I was unable to figure out who set me up no matter how much I thought about it, so it turned out to be her? Sh*t! Is she trying to ruin the entire crew by harming you?”
Nell laughed.
Compared to Tim’s anger, she was way too calm.
Tim looked at her, suddenly suspicious.
“Do you have proof of what you just said?”
Nell took a sip of tea and nodded. “Of course.”
She took out her phone from her bag, pulled up the recording on it, and placed it in front of him.
The recording was Kylie’s voice which completely detailed how Celine had given the order to do those things, as well as the purpose of those actions.
Tim’s eyes widened as he listened.
“Damn it! That b*tch!”
When the recording finished, Nell put away her phone and said, “I suspect that she’s also the one who secretly took pictures of us in the restaurant and spread rumors.”
At this point, Tim naturally would not doubt Nell’s words anymore.
His expression was dark, and his eyes were filled with anger. He gritted his head and stared straight ahead.
“I see. Very good. Since she’s able to pull off little stunts like these behind everyone’s backs, it seems that I underestimated her! Nell, don’t worry. Since it’s clear that she’s the culprit, I definitely won’t tolerate it. She can say goodbye to her role as the second female lead!”
Nell raised her eyebrows.
“Are you going to fire her?”
“Of course! A scourge like her is cancer for the crew! If I don’t get rid of it, something else will definitely happen.”
Nell shook her head.
“It’s not worthwhile.”
Tim was stunned.
Nell gave him a detailed account.
“Two-thirds of the shooting for the drama has already finished, and it’ll be finished in a month at most. The trailer will also be released in a few days, so it’s not cost-effective to fire her now. You’ll need time and money to find a replacement.”
Tim’s teeth itched in anger.
“So do we just let her go?”
