Brett Dunn played the good guy, pulling her up from the water, and said, "Let's call it a day!"
Before everyone could react, a sharp female voice rang out:
"How can such a resonant script like 'Love You to the End of Time' choose such a poor actress? She can't even handle a few gulps of water for the shoot?"
Everyone turned to look and saw a fashionably dressed socialite, Mrs. Grant: Angela Liu.
Eva Nightingale followed the voice and saw Benjamin Grant, elegantly dressed in a red suit, perfectly tailored.
He had a face that could enchant young girls!
Beside Benjamin was Isabelle Nightingale, with a lofty demeanor.
Benjamin finally spoke:
"The Grant Family previously invested ten million, and now as the successor of the Grant Group, I announce that the Grant Family will invest an additional thirty million!"
A total of forty million.
This is a significant amount of money, and with the Nightingale Family's previous investment of thirty million, it totals seventy million.
Benjamin continued, "The Nightingale Group CEO has reached an agreement with the Grant Group to invest seventy million in the 'Love You to the End of Time' entourage, and other investors have also reached a consensus. The board has decided..."
"To let Isabelle play the lead female role."
Benjamin spoke with confident conviction.
Completely ignoring the drenched Eva who was standing nearby.
Despite bracing herself beforehand, Eva still felt as if her heart was throbbing with pain from the public humiliation and disparagement.
The pain nearly suffocated her!
She was heartbroken, her father Amos Nightingale's ruthlessness wasn't just about throwing her out but also granting Benjamin and Isabelle the right to humiliate her...
6 PM.
Eva left the set, feeling despondent.
She held in her hand a set of keys for a Lamborghini Aventador, as well as a bag.
Inside the bag was the marriage certificate she got today, along with a note from her husband.
Husband...
Right, she just recalled how much she'd done today; it all felt like a dream upon reflection.
Her agent Bell went to New York for business, and ever since the incident, hadn't even called her once.
Eva left the set, drove her Lamborghini Aventador to her temporary residence.
This flamboyant red supercar was bought by her uncle Sebastian Yansford at an auction in New York two years ago, for her birthday gift, costing 25 million, and it's unique in the world.
But alas, Eva couldn't even afford the fuel now.
Returning to Villa #8.
Eva tidied up the room, then took out the note from her bag, which had Lucas Knight's number written on it.
She still couldn't believe she had entangled herself with such a figure!
But he really is the rumored presidential candidate Lucas Knight?
Anyway, things have developed to this stage, Eva didn't think too much, found the man's number, and sent a few messages.
*
Knight Clan's secret sea base.
Limited edition yacht number one.
Lucas Knight was in a meeting, maintaining a composed expression, muted his phone, and then opened the messages:
"Crown Prince, where are you?"
"I'm telling you, Sovereign Capital is chaotic, there are a lot of punks, you're so handsome, you mustn't run around, you'd be kidnapped for your looks I tell you! In our crew, there's a handsome guy who was filming at night, got dragged into a grove on the way back, and couldn't get out of bed for a week!"
"You're such a troublesome man, …"
The messages kept coming one after another.
Lucas Knight's face turned dark, clouds gathering.
Little rascal was teasing him?
Since they were married as lawful spouses, facing his wife's check-in, the man smirked evilly and domineeringly, replied: "You should change your title, call me husband from now on."
Eva: "..."
However, after that message, Eva wouldn't see Lucas Knight again until a month later.
