Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 866 - 862: One "Cousin" Nearly Made Oliver Shaw Vomit Blood

On set, it was almost midnight and Melody Zachary was still filming. In the resting area, Oliver Shaw kept glancing at his watch, his tightly furrowed brow revealing his urgency.

Today is New Year’s Day, and he had rushed to the set hoping to celebrate with Melody, but she kept making excuses that she didn’t have time. At noon, she left with that old man she was acting opposite in the drama, even inviting that old man into her caravan. When Oliver tried to follow, he was bluntly kicked off.

There were many people on set, and someone of his status couldn’t just force his way in. So he went nearby to fill his stomach and then returned to the set to wait.

Melody only returned to the set in the evening, and the old man was still with her in the caravan. The two of them chatted and laughed all the way, and anyone observing might have thought they were married.

Humph!

Oliver Shaw snorted discontentedly. Melody Zachary, this woman—her taste has deteriorated since leaving him. That man looks like he’s over sixty, yet she finds him appealing!

Despite his dissatisfaction, when he saw Melody, he still approached her proactively with a smile, "Melody, you’re back?"

"Melody, who’s this?" The old man beside Melody asked. Melody’s reply nearly made Oliver explode with rage, "Ah, this is my cousin. He heard I was filming and happened to pass by to visit."

Oliver Shaw...

His face looked as if it had frost on it, terribly unsightly. Cousin? Passing by? He damn well flew over specifically to see her, how did that turn into passing by? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

And what truly angered Oliver was what happened next. That old man, upon hearing Melody call him her cousin, hurriedly extended his hand to grasp Oliver’s, saying with a smile, "Cousin, I’m Strong Williams. My colleagues call me Old Strong!"

The word cousin almost made Oliver spit out a mouthful of old blood. An old man of his age, face full of wrinkles, calling him cousin? If it weren’t for his old age, Oliver would have surely blacklisted him.

And his surname is enough to make one nauseous. Old Strong? Neighbor Old Strong—sounds rotten and when looking at Melody, he had a lecherous face. No way, later he must speak to the director, can’t let them act opposite each other, or else Old Strong might climb the wall.

Ignoring the neighbor Old Strong entirely, Oliver looked at Melody coldly and asked, "What time will you wrap up?"

"Well, that’s hard to say," Melody smirked dismissively. Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Oliver really wanted to drag her away and teach her a lesson.

Damned woman, when he proposed divorce she was desperate not to agree, and now, in a blink, she’s made him wear a green hat.

Watching Melody and neighbor Old Strong heading toward the studio, Oliver had no choice but to follow reluctantly. Melody’s scenes for today were extensive, luckily there were no intimate scenes, or else Oliver couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t grab her on the spot, ending her acting career.

Sitting in the resting area waiting, but waiting until it was almost midnight, seeing the enthusiastic filming on the other side, Oliver couldn’t sit still. He got up and walked toward the director.

"Director Liu, when will Melody’s scenes finish shooting? How about ending it today? People of age shouldn’t stay up late."

Seeing Director Liu looking at him inexplicably, Oliver quickly added, "How about this, I’ll cover the loss caused to the crew, or I can invest some."

Director Liu looked Oliver up and down once over, seeing his outfit and demeanor, he didn’t seem like an ordinary person. Plus, Melody’s entry into the crew had been pre-cleared by Nicholas Croft beforehand, hearing Oliver could invest, Director Liu agreed immediately, after Melody finished this scene, she would wrap up.
