Chapter 380

“I’m so sorry, Miss Pearl. I was too audacious. Please forgive me. I’ll do anything you ask,” the girl said with a pale face. She was panicking at the thought of being kicked out, as she had told her friends she would be part of the show.
Pearl squinted at her. “Anything?”
“Of course!” the girl replied, desperate to salvage her role.
“She shouldn’t die by taking pills. If she wants to perform, let her fall into the lake,” Pearl stated, after reviewing the script and realizing that the character was supposed to die by overdosing on pills.
“But it’s so cold, and I’ll probably catch a cold if I fall into the lake…” The girl’s face turned even paler, and her voice trembled
with fear.
Pearl raised an eyebrow, looking curiously at the girl. “Didn’t you say you’d do anything? Why won’t you jump into the lake then?”
Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes as she cried out, “I’m sorry, Miss Pearl. I won’t do it again. Please don’t ask me to jump into the lake!” She almost got down on her knees to beg for mercy.
Pearl glanced at the director, Derek, who was whispering with his assistant. She noticed that Derek’s eyes were darting around nervously and decided to ask the assistant, “Mister Assistant, is there anyone else who could play this role?”
The assistant, who had just taken a bribe from the girl, was about to say no. However, under Pearl’s piercing gaze, he quickly changed his tune. “Yes, yes, of course there is.”
The assistant then selected another girl from the extras. She was young and had a seductive look, which suited the role of the evil side character.
“We do have someone who looks similar to this rotten apple.” Pearl glanced at the girl who had caused trouble and said firmly, “Please leave the set.”
The sentence effectively ended the girl’s role in the production. Hatred flashed across her eyes as she glared harshly at Pearl, then turned and left.
The director suddenly felt that working with Brilliance was a good decision, seeing how Pearl had skillfully resolved the issue for them.
The rest of the shoot proceeded smoothly. Everyone was aware that the investors were monitoring the progress, so they maintained their professionalism.
As it neared noon, Esther changed out of her costume and approached Pearl. They had a two-hour break, and Esther was eager to explore the area with Pearl.
“This is your first time here, so let me show you around. Outside of filming, this place is actually quite interesting,” Esther suggested.
Although the set was primarily designed for filming, Pearl agreed to go outside for a look. When they stepped out, they found an ancient-looking building that seemed intriguing.
Esther led her through the doors, and they discovered they were on a period drama set. Both the male and female leads appeared ethereal and enchanting. Her jaw dropped when she spotted someone drinking, and she immediately realized who it
was
It was Jenny!
Pearl grabbed Esther and said, “Why shouldn’t we look around? She didn’t buy this place. Why can’t we explore it?”
As long as they didn’t disrupt the ongoing shoot, no one could stop Pearl from exploring and enjoying the surroundings.
