Chapter 59 Beside Her
Anderson leaned back in his chair and looked at him with a faint smile.
"I remember I said that I'm only responsible for investing, and I won't participate in specific choosing actors and shooting."
Freddie smiled awkwardly.
"I know. But the situation... is special now!"
He swallowed, because he was not confidence enough.
Anderson let out a lazy laugh.
"Oh? Why is it a special situation?"
"What I'm thinking now is that since Clarissa is so suitable for playing Ava, we can let her play this role. If Lara is willing, she can play Myra. But in this way, she may withdraw her investment, so..."
He smiled awkwardly, and Anderson understood what he meant.
He raised his eyebrows.
"You want me to invest more money?"
Freddie nodded.
"Alright!"
Anderson pulled open the desk drawer and took out a check. He wrote a few words on it.
Then, he put the check in front of Freddie.
"I can invest another 50 million dollars in person! My condition is that Clarissa is not allowed to perform in this play!"
Freddie opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He looked at the check on the table and then looked at Anderson in disbelief.
"But, why?"
He had already planned to persuade Clarissa to participate in this play in his heart.
Judging from Clarissa's performance, he was sure that she would definitely become a famous actress.
There were two types of actors. Some of them were talented and the other made great efforts to improve acting skills.
Some people had no talents, and they could only improve acting skills by making great efforts, while someone was born to be an actor.
He had been working in this industry for decades, so he would never be wrong. Clarissa was really a very talented actress. If he could teach her more, this play would definitely become popular!
He didn't understand why Anderson refused him!
Anderson sat there, looked at him and sneered.
"Besides her, you can let anyone play the leading role! I don't want to talk to you about anything else. You can leave now!"
Freddie's expression was very complicated.
He wanted to be angry, but he didn't dare. He wanted to reason with Anderson, but Anderson wouldn't listen to him.
Finally, he could only get up angrily and walk out.
Halfway through, he thought of something and turned to take the check and his computer.
Looking at his back as he left madly, Anderson sneered.
He thought, "Are you kidding? You want my woman to play the leading role?"
"It is so hard and tired to act, and there are many fight scenes in the play. What if she gets hurt?"
"The most important thing is that she will have to kiss others in the play!"
"Don't think about it!"
At the same time, Clarissa didn't know that she had been rejected like this.
After lunch, she received Freddie's message and brought Evelyn to his company.
After signing the contract, Freddie looked at her with a guilty face and said a lot of words that she didn't understand.
Clarissa was confused.
However, she did not think too much. Evelyn would act in the play soon, so she had to arrange an assistant for her.
The arrangement of personnel in the company was in a mess. In the afternoon, she returned to the company and arranged an assistant who looked smart and honest for Evelyn. Only then did she rest assured.
Anthony finally found some clues to solve his problem.
After being reminded by Clarissa, Anthony checked the bank account of his ex-girlfriend and finally found that she had received lots of money recently.
The person who had transferred money to her was his mother, Anderson's aunt, Hannah Phillips.
It was ridiculous!
It was just like Anthony's mother threatened Anthony's ex-girlfriend to leave Anthony with money, because the girl was not rich and famous.
But logically speaking, even if his mother wanted his ex-girlfriend to leave him, or she wanted them to become enemies and never see each other again, why did she try to ruin Anthony's career?
Clarissa was puzzled. After asking Anthony, she knew that his mother didn't want him to become an actor.
In her opinion, even if he worked as an actor for a life time, he could only become a relatively popular star.
Compared with the powerful Jordan family, an actor was of no use and had no power.
His mother wanted him to go into business as a career, just like Anderson, but he had no interest in business at all.
Anthony's mother had no choice but to come up with this idea.
After hearing this, Clarissa felt very speechless.
How could his mother do such a thing?
But Anthony looked very calm.
He just said very euphemistically on the phone that it might be inconvenient to expose his mother. In other words, it was impossible to tell the public the whole story, so they could only find another way to solve it.
Clarissa understood him and agreed.
When she asked about the girl, she knew that she had already had a new boyfriend. When she broke up with Anthony, she probably thought that she had to break up anyway, and it was good to make a sum of money, so she agreed to his mother's request.
Clarissa soon contacted the girl.
Through some means, he got the audio and video that had been edited from her and forced her to admit publicly that she had lied.
Clarissa left some leeway for her.
She did not say that she took the money and slandered Anthony. Instead, she asked the girl to say that she was unwilling to break up with Anthony, so she lied.
A girl who was unwilling to give up her love was much easier to be forgiven than a girl who framed her ex-boyfriend for money.
Of course, Clarissa needed to deal with the aftermath.
Although the girl had apologized, Anthony's reputation was damaged to a certain extent.
However, a big-budget play that he acted in was going to be broadcast. Clarissa had heard of it before, and it was a nice play. Anthony's performance in the play was also very good, and it could earn some reputation for him.
Clarissa wrote several articles personally and sent them with her private social media accounts which had lots of fans.
Sure enough, it worked. Gradually, there were some people speaking for Anthony.
His fans, who didn't dare speak for him because of public opinion, began to fight back. They regulated the comments about Anthony online and reported his anti-fans.
It took some time to subside the tumult completely.
After doing all this, Clarissa knew that there would be no more problems in the future, and she was relieved.
It was time to consider her own business!
In the evening, it was early when Clarissa came home.
The dinner was not ready, and it was not six o'clock yet. There was about half an hour before Anderson came back.
Clarissa walked into the kitchen and saw Pattie and a few servants busying with cooking.
When they saw her coming in, they were all a little nervous and looked at her curiously.
Clarissa said, "Don't care about me. I just came to have a look."
Pattie smiled and walked to her, "Mrs. Jordan, there is an odour of cooking oil here. You'd better go out and sit down! If you are hungry, would you like to drink a bowl of soup first? Mr. Jordan should be back soon."
Clarissa smiled, "What do we eat tonight?"
Although Pattie did not know why she asked this, she answered honestly.
"Stewed bamboo with dried mushrooms, sour fish, sour and spicy lotus root, lily and lotus seed soup, and shrimp dumplings..."
Listening to these names, Clarissa had a good appetite.
After listening to the menu, she pointed to the two dishes on it.
"Have you cooked these two dishes?"
Pattie was stunned and replied, "Not yet."
"Alright, I'll cook them!"
Clarissa did as she said. She changed her clothes, put on an apron and went to the kitchen.
Although those servants were shocked, when they heard that she was cooking for Anderson, they felt relieved.
They thought, "The relationship between Mr. Jordan and Mrs. Jordan is so good. Mr. Jordan is handsome and Mrs. Jordan is beautiful. Since they are so deep in love, Mrs. Jordan will get pregnant soon!"
