Chapter 450
“Why? Are you afraid that Jenny might threaten you?” Pearl found it somewhat amusing. The director in front of her was a well-known filmmaker in the country, yet he was a coward.
“It’s not Jenny I’m afraid of, but the person backing her up. You might not know, but this person has tremendous influence even abroad. He’s quite extraordinary.”
“What’s the story? Why don’t you fill me in on this person and their influence?”
The director mentioned a name, but Pearl remained silent and asked directly, “Where’s Jenny?”
“Jenny is recovering in her secluded villa. Do you want to see her?”
“Of course. Since you won’t lend us the set, I’ll have to go see her myself.”
The director felt embarrassed and could only rub his hands together while nodding. “In that case, you may go ahead. I’ll send you the location.”
Pearl didn’t say much, but she sneered in her heart. After she got the address, she immediately headed to Jenny’s villa.
Richard glanced at Pearl and asked, “Aren’t you going to see her?”
“Not now, of course.” Pearl stretched and added with a lazy smile, “I’ll go when everything’s ready.”
Richard knew she had a plan, so he didn’t say much.
In the evening, Pearl went to Jenny’s villa. She knocked politely at the door, and it didn’t take long for a woman in casual attire to come out.
Indeed, it was Jenny. The acne on her face hadn’t completely disappeared, somewhat affecting her appearance.
When Jenny saw Pearl, her expression changed instantly. “It’s you! How did you find this place?”
“If I want to find you, I’ll locate you,” Pearl replied casually, her gaze fixed on Jenny’s somewhat troubled expression. “So, care to tell me why you’re not allowing the director to lend us the set?”
Upon hearing this, Jenny let out a disdainful snort. She made her way back to the living room, took a seat on the couch, and nonchalantly turned on the TV. “I suggest you don’t bother trying. You’ve crossed me one too many times. Even if you beg on your knees, I won’t lend you the set so you better give up on that idea.”
“Who said I’m here to beg you? I came to demand something from you.”
Jenny was furious. “This is ridiculous. If you think you can threaten me into lending the set to you, you’re wrong!”
Pearl remarked sarcastically, “I heard that your benefactor is quite influential, huh?”
When Jenny heard what Pearl said, she smirked with satisfaction. “That’s right. You can’t
afford to cross paths with the person backing me!”
Geez. How powerful can that person be? She was indeed something.
Pearl smiled. “Why don’t you introduce me, Jenny? How amazing is this person you’re talking about?”
“These are heights you’ll never reach in your life. Do you honestly believe you can steal my spotlight? Or is it that Richard can’t keep you in line anymore, so you’ve come here for some attention?”
Pearl was undeniably attractive, with her fair and dainty complexion, oval-shaped face, and eyes that were downright captivating. If she came face-to-face with that person, Jenny would unquestionably consider it a huge threat.
