The last time Morris gave her a call, he expressed his admiration, even had her watch so many of Billyās films. Now he was starting to swear.
Daisy Zane went upstairs and standing in the corridor, asked, āWhat happened?ā
āI attended a movie event this morning and saw him.ā Morris said angrily.
āAnd then?ā
āThenā¦ I thought since I ran into him, we could talk. Guess what the hell he said?ā
Daisy didnāt make a sound. He certainly hadnāt said anything nice, otherwise, Morris wouldnāt be this upset.
āHe said the quality of domestic films is too poor, the production, storyline, and plot are all unacceptable, so he wonāt shoot domestic films. Damn! It pissed me off!ā
Daisy slightly raised her eyebrows, not saying a word.
āWhatās even more annoying is, I introduced him to my production team, my status, even your identity as a screenwriter, and the various major awards youāve won.ā Morrisā voice was trembling with anger, āBut then, you know what he said? He said āso what?āā
Daisy chuckled lightly, āHe is after all an international Best Actorā.
āA few years ago, our movie won a big award internationally. Did I act stuck-up? Did I brag? Did I have my nose in the air?ā Morris continued, āHe is bullying people in my territoryā.
Standing upstairs, Daisy suddenly saw the fish that were being raised in the living room below.
They must have been sent over by Kevin Clark.
Seeing the goldfish lifted Daisyās spirits, and she continued to listen to Morrisā rant.
āI hate those kinds of people the most, those who hold foreign things in high esteem.ā Morris said, āIf he thinks that the domestic film industry is not doing well, he should save it. What does he mean by disparaging it? He just talks down to people. Damn it! I donāt want to work with him anymore! Iād rather work with anybody else but him! There will come a time when he will be crying and begging to come back, lets see who dares to use him then.ā
Daisy went back downstairs intending to visit the fish, āSince he looks down on domestic films, why did he come back all of a sudden?ā
āI heard he wanted to meet a clothing brand designer.ā Morris heard someone mention it during the event, but didnāt pay much attention, āI think he came to discuss some kind of collaboration.
Daisy came in front of the fish tank, took some fish food, and sprinkled it into the tank, āIs that so?ā
āThatās what I heard. Thatās not important. The important thing isā¦ā Morris said, āHeāll never take you seriously. Donāt tell me youāre not upset?ā
āWhy should I be upset?ā Daisy sprinkled a little more fish food into the tank, āAs youāve said, there will be a time when he will be crying and begging.ā Morris let out a long sigh, āI canāt wait to see him begging and weeping.ā
āYou will.ā
āWhat will?ā
āNothing. Iāll hang up now.ā
Daisy hung up the phone. Seeing that the fish in the tank were happily eating, she sprinkled a bit more food in.
Then she scrolled through her phone messages and opened an old chat from someone named Joseph Allen.
The most recent message exchange was three days ago.
Joseph Allen: [Do you want to come to the Fall/Winter Haute Couture Fashion
Show? I can send you a few invitations.]
Daisy replied several hours later: [No. Donāt need the invitations.]
Joseph Allen responded immediately: [Okay, Iāll still save your invitation for you.]
Daisy read the message but didnāt respond.
Joseph Allen always asked Daisy if she wanted to attend the yearly fashion show, and Daisy always responded the same way. āNo, donāt wantā.
Then Joseph Allen would keep the invitation he had for her safe.
Daisy scrolled back through the messages to check the date of the fashion show, figuring that she should have time to attend.
She sent Joe another message: [Send me a few invitations. Address: xxxx]
Joseph Allen responded immediately again: [Are you coming?]
[I will swing by if I have time.]
[Okay.]
After reading the message, Daisy Zane sprinkled some fish food into the bathtub again. Seeing the fish eating contently elevated her mood, and she went upstairs to go to bed.
Kevin Clark returned to Imperial Capital three days after Daisy Zane did.
There was no valuable information available on Koymoon Island. Besides Robert Kirsten, the assassins they had captured were all just following orders and knew nothing.
And Robert Kirsten refused to say anything. Kevin Clark had tried hypnosis on him, but the moment he asked about crucial information, Robert would instinctively break free from the hypnosis.
His reaction was even stronger than that of the man they had previously detained in the 18th Prison.
There was even a severe case of self-harm.
After several attempts, Kevin Clark saw that both Robert Kirstenās mental state and physical condition were severely damaged. Therefore, he decided to pause the sessions for the time being.
Apart from that, the phrase that Robert Kirsten repeated the most was his demand to see Wilton Edwards. It was like an obsession that wouldnāt dissolve or disappearā¦
After returning to the Imperial Capital, Kevin Clark first went to the villa to see Daisy Zane. He spent half a day with her before he went home to see his parents.
When he got home, it was already past dinner time.
Hugo Clark, Hardy Clark, as well as Kevin Clarkās senior, were all there. They were all sitting in the living room watching TV with Kevinās parents.
Upon entering the living room, Kevin Clark first greeted his parents and his senior, and then Hugo Clark and Hardy Clark called out āThird Uncleā.
Thenā¦ they all turned their eyes back to the TV.
Kevin Clark raised his eyebrow; his parents were not the types to enjoy TV series. What was going on today? Everyone seemed glued to the television.
Moreover, there hadnāt been any dialogue in the TV series from the moment he entered. There was only intense background music.
āWhat are you watching thatās got you so hooked?ā Kevin Clark asked as he made his way to an unoccupied single sofa.
Just then, the screen showed a close-up of the female actor.
She was by a window, holding a sniper rifle, watching the situation on the street outside through the rifle scope.
The lens was almost up close to her face, and on the big TV screen, Daisy Zaneās face was portrayed vividly.
The cold stunning beauty, the sharp, murderous aura surrounding her, as well as the relentless determination in her eyes.
Even having seen it many times, Kevin Clark was once again amazed by this stunning beauty with a strong impact. Then, he raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth even lifted slightly.
Hugo Clark, Hardy Clark, and his senior all glanced at Kevin Clarkās reaction, but not one of them dared to speak out.
āWhy the sudden interest in TV dramas?ā Kevin Clark asked.
āQuiet,ā said Tom Wayne.
Kevin Clark:ā
Not until the Daisy Zane on the screen had finished off several people on the street and put away her sniper rifle, did Tom Wayne look at his son and then speak, āThis show is called āFall of the Quinceā, and itās really good.ā
Kevin Clark didnāt say anything as he looked at the TV.
Hugo Clark kept a straight face and couldnāt help but complain in his heart.
There was no need for the introduction since his Third Uncle was literally
watching the filming.
āYes, itās very well made,ā Dupont also commented, āThe lead actress is obviously very professional. Her posture when holding the gun is very standard. The fight scenes are also well executed. Itās not like some TV dramas, where anything goes, and they only focus on the image of the actors.ā
āGrandpa, sheās supposed to be the supporting female,ā Hardy Clark pointed out.
āThe supporting female? But she seems like the lead female to me,ā commented Dupont.
āAre you biased because you think sheās pretty?ā Tom Wayne interjected.
āIām only saying that sheās good at acting, and who could be prettier than you?ā Dupont always knew how to save himself.
Everyone laughed a bit. From their reactions, it was clear that they were used to such exchanges.
Tom Wayne shot a glance at Dupont and then said, āBut indeed, sheās beautiful, and so is her temperament.ā
Unconsciously, a smile appeared at the corner of Kevin Clarkās mouth.
Then he heard Tom Wayne continuing: āThis is also the girl I bumped into in the restroom that time. I even got her contact information because I wanted to introduce her to Hugo.. Donāt they make a perfect match?ā
