Clarissa wasn’t being soft-hearted and kind towards Verona. Instead, she just forgot about what she did for the time being.
It was already evening time by the time she thought of her.
Last night, she had even threatened to give Verona a big surprise in the morning. However, she only remembered it now. Verona might think that I’m just bluffing.
Forget it! So what if I was late for the surprise? As long as I keep my words and put them into action.
With that thought, she immediately gave Yael a call. She didn’t want to rely on Matthew to settle this issue.
Clarissa wasn’t able to kill Verona’s career with her current status in the entertainment industry. But there was still something else that she could do.
She decided to ban Verona from taking any role in any of her work.
After that, her studio issued a statement regarding this issue, making it clear that Clarissa Studio would not collaborate with Verona in the future. With that being released, she was then officially in opposition to Verona.
In the industry, even if they secretly hated someone to the core, no one would show it to the public.
It was rare for a studio to clearly show that they were against certain artists. It was even unprecedented.
Of course, some people might not take the statement seriously. After all, it was just a screenwriting studio. However, for those who were smart and intelligent, it was something to look into seriously.
Verona was a popular actress with a bright future ahead while Clarissa was a famous screenwriter. Of course, she wasn’t the one and only screenwriter in the industry. However, she was certainly someone not to be messed with.
Meanwhile, Verona was initially selected as one of the cast members for a travel variety show. As soon as Clarissa Studio released the official statement, the TV station was rather hesitant in the decision to invite Verona to the show.
This was because the show was considered one of the most popular variety shows in the country, and it was high in the ratings. It had brought fame to a lot of celebrities since the first season. Therefore, they were extremely cautious when casting a celebrity. TV station certainly wasn’t afraid of being threatened by someone or offending anyone. If they were to choose Verona, their decision would definitely not easily affected by a statement from a studio.
Initially, the director had just decided to let Verona be one of the cast members. He had been in contact with Verona’s manager. Although they had not discussed in detail yet, both parties were likely to reach a consensus.
But today, a female producing director brought up the statement of Clarissa studio.
Collaborating with Verona meant they were going against Clarissa studio. Since there wasn’t any close interaction between them and the studio, they could have just ignored it.
However, the female producing director mentioned something, “Boss, in my opinion, it’s better for us to give up on the thought of working with Verona at this time. Let’s choose someone else. Sooner or later, Verona might not be able to stay any longer in the showbiz industry.”
The director was shocked. The female producing director was a capable woman. Usually, she would only talk about this kind of topic with the director.
“What’s going on? You’ve got any inside scoop?”
She shook her head. “I don’t have any, but I do have something to tell you. You have to keep it as a secret, ok?”
Then, she said cautiously, “Recently, I’ve taken a break and spent my vacation with my husband. We headed all the way up to the north. When we passed by W City, my husband and I bumped into Clarissa Quigley. Of course, I didn’t know it was her at that time. Besides, she was with a man and a kid. They were having a meal in a restaurant.”
“Do you have to explain everything in detail? Can’t you just get straight to the point?”
She immediately said, “Here’s the point! Do you know who the man with the pretty screenwriter was?”
“Who was it?”
The female producing director looked around carefully and whispered a name in the director’s ear.
The director’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened as shock overwhelmed him. After quite a while, he finally asked, “Did you say they were with a kid?”
She nodded vigorously.
Bang!
Suddenly, the director slammed the table and walked out of the office. He was yelling as he walked, “Let’s find a replacement! Quickly…”
Meanwhile, the female producing director shook her head and burst into laughter behind him.
Tsk. The director should have thanked her, as well as her husband.
If it wasn’t for her husband, they would not have gone to W City. In that case, they would definitely not run into that family of three. Thus, they would continue working with Verona. It was actually fine for the time being as there would not be a great impact on the show. However, who would know what was going to happen in the future? Verona might be blacklisted in the industry for good. That would be a huge loss for them, especially if they had not finished the shooting.
Thus, one should really be grateful for everything that happened in their lives.
Meanwhile, Verona totally didn’t know what was going on. She still acted recklessly and behaved arrogantly, clamoring to change her manager. By afternoon, she was informed that Maxdon was no longer working as her manager. The company didn’t even mention anything about her new manager in the future.
Everything happened in only a few hours. Verona was a little confused.
