Three Treasures: Spoiled Wife Goes Wild-Chapter 1636: At the Mercy of Others
After speaking, Charlotte Thompson moved her gaze away from Riley Thompson.
She gestured for the director to introduce the others present.
After all, besides Riley, the remaining actors and crew members in the room were all selected by the director himself.
As the largest investor in the drama, getting acquainted with the people in the crew is also very important. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Everyone at the dinner was chatting happily, except for Riley, who sat there with an inscrutable expression.
Her absent-minded manner was noticed by everyone, yet no one was willing to pay attention to her.
Riley then found an excuse to go to the bathroom and temporarily left the room.
In the bathroom, Riley quickly dialed her agent’s number.
As soon as the call connected, Riley didn’t care who was on the other end and directly started questioning fiercely.
"You know this drama is invested by Charlotte Thompson, so why did you still sign me up? I’m the one acting, what right do you have to sign contracts for me!"
However, the next response Riley got was not her agent’s voice:
"Haven’t you always been looking for an opportunity to act in a major production drama to make yourself more famous? Now that such an opportunity is in your hands, how can you not be satisfied?"
Upon hearing the voice coming from the phone, Riley felt as if all her blood had frozen.
She opened her mouth, her pupils constricting: "Young Master..."
"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Leon Battleson’s voice rose at the end, but his mood couldn’t be discerned from his tone.
"Charlotte Thompson is the major investor in this drama, if I really enter the crew..."
Facing Leon Battleson, Riley struggled to articulate her words, stammering. This earned her a light tut from Leon’s side.
"It seems you’re really not satisfied with my arrangements? Did you forget why I wanted you to enter the entertainment industry in the first place? To make you a sought-after star and gain fame and fortune?"
The simple question from the other side of the phone made Riley feel a coldness climbing up her spine.
Riley tightened her grip on the phone in her hand, only to find that her palm was already covered in a layer of cold sweat, the sticky chill causing her body to shiver.
Yes, how could she forget, in Leon Battleson’s eyes, she was always just a pawn, and now she was just under his control however he pleased.
"Is there anything else?" Leon’s side seemed busy with something, but Riley could hear the sound of clinking glasses.
"No, nothing."
Riley slowed her breathing, and then felt her palm holding the phone slowly slip down.
Then Riley slowly moved to the sink, swallowed, but still felt her throat was dry and sore.
The incident at the hotel was clearly her provocation towards Charlotte Thompson, and she and Charlotte had long secretly fallen out.
If she really enters the drama crew invested by Charlotte, how could Charlotte let her go?
But Riley was also aware that she was nothing more than a puppet manipulated by others, with no real power to make her own choices.
With her hands propped on both sides of the sink, Riley intended to splash some cold water on her face to sober up, but as she lifted her head, she saw in the mirror the reflection of Charlotte Thompson.
Riley screamed in fright, then hurriedly turned around in panic.
