Eric was shocked at the amount of money that had been transferred. He called Ellie back and told her that the money was too much since the project was more than halfway done.
Samuel reiterated that the surplus was to increase the salaries of the film crew.
Eric understood.
It turned out that everything Samuel had done including the huge sum of money, were all for Ella.
Samuel spent all that money just to please her. Somehow Eric felt pity for their divorce, because they seemed to still love each other dearly.
Meanwhile, Ella was watching the kids play in Daisy's house. She got a call from Eric.
"Hello, Mr. Eric." Holding the phone, she walked towards the balcony.
Ella was astonished by what the director said next.
He informed her that a new leading star had been selected and was ready to film the play, and the crew were waiting for her.
'The whole crew is waiting for me?' Ella felt embarrassed.
"Okay, I see. Mr. Eric, I will come to the set tomorrow."
She would feel bad if it was true.
Looking absent-minded, she just hung up. Daisy asked, "Ella, what happened?"
The most popular news these days concerned her. 'How could it be Amber? She doesn't seem to be that kind of person!'
Ella thought. She planned to visit Amber the following day.
"And I have to restart filming, please take care of Jane for me." She was too embarrassed to look at Daisy.
Lovingly, Daisy gazed at Ella, "Jane is such a good girl. I have already taken her as my future daughter-in-law. Hahaha."
Jane was only born a few days earlier than Sven.
And he grew up with Jane. What a perfect match!
"Well, only if your Sven wants to."
Sitting on the sofa quietly, Sven seemed to dislike Jane, who was playing with toys.
Upon hearing the two adults conversation, he refused their suggestion, "Mom, I don't want Jane to be my girlfriend!"
"Hmph, Sven, no one wants to marry a weirdo like you." Refusing to admit he was inferior, Jane threw a toy ball at Sven.
Shaking their heads, Daisy and Ella looked at their kids. Finally, Daisy resignedly said, "Forget it. They have the right to decide their own destiny."
The two kids fought everyday like they were enemies.
When Sven's was growing up, Daisy had taught him many times to be concessional since Jane was his younger sister.
Sven always refused to make concessions, saying, "She's so naughty. If I don't do something about it, I'll got bullied!"
The two moms were speechless when it came to their children.
Jane had behaved like a lady when she met Daniel, who was 3 years older. Ella couldn't stop feeling like Jane was Lola's daughter.
...
The next day, Ella went to set and met the new leading star - Shae, another popular actress from Harry's company.
Ella had met her once when Shae was filming a movie in Hollywood.
Ella could feel the way the crew were treating her in comparison to before had changed since she stepped into the studio.
Except Joseph, every other member of the crew, including the new leading star, were all courteous towards her.
Feeling confused, she thought maybe they were just being sympathetic because she just got kidnapped.
Soon, she felt comfortable working with Shae, who had been a big shot in the business for many years.
Since the filming process had been delayed, the whole crew had been eating and sleeping near the studio.
