Chapter 163: Chapter 104: What’s next? Why does it stop here?_2

"So, did he end up shooting?"

Veronica cut through her reverie, smiling so sweetly for what reason, as if it had anything to do with you.

Pah, old lady!

"The third male lead had very strict physical requirements, and aside from Mister Wayne, all the other volunteer passengers fell short. Wallace had no choice but to seek help again, and only then did Mister Wayne reluctantly agree."

Damn it, he really did agree!

Veronica curled her lips; this beautiful romantic encounter was something that the lecher had never mentioned.

Veiled in confusion, her heart felt stuffy. No wonder he said he quit; it turns out he had already experienced it.

Good, well said, keep going, tell everyone what happened that night, how many times did you sleep with the cement barrel!

Sleep well, and there will be a reward!

Austin, elated, used his years of tact to keep his emotions from showing on his face and pretended nothing was amiss, quietly waiting for Lily to speak.

"Mister Wayne was a true gentleman. During the filming of the kissing scene, he took care of me with a misaligned shot, and the bed scene was also canceled due to a last-minute script change. He might have just been kindly helping out the crew, but he left a very deep impression in my heart..."

Lily’s cheeks turned slightly red, "I’m a singer, acting is just a side job. I couldn’t snap out of character in time, and I had dressed up carefully that night, brought a bottle of red wine and invited Mister Wayne to have dinner with me."

And then? Why does it stop there?

Don’t just blush; spit it out! x4

"Mister Wayne still rejected me. A chance meeting is after all just that, a passing encounter. He politely declined my invitation, saying that he already had someone he liked."

Lily let out a deep sigh, filled with regret, "Such a lucky girl. I stood in the ship’s corridor for quite a while, but that door never opened for me. Afterwards... during the five days of the voyage, Mister Wayne never appeared before me again, and that bottle of red wine never found the right person to share it with."

Saying this, her gaze passed over the group and settled on Wayne, who was tussling with the director.

Lily bit her lip gently, "He was very gentlemanly, highly charming, different from the lecherous men I’ve met. If there was another kissing scene, I definitely wouldn’t agree to a misaligned shot."

Hefei nodded vigorously, worthy of being his wife, such keen insight, learning from her husband’s failures and picking the best student.

That’s what I’m saying, it makes no sense to make a wrong choice twice in a row.

Veronica curled her lips, what’s the point, she had been so looking forward to getting some dirt on the lecher.

Boring, not fun at all!

Moreover, repeatedly refusing a lady’s affection, what kind of gentlemanly behavior is that?

Heartless, ruthless, it’s odious!

While Veronica was thinking, she suddenly realized something was amiss. The diary couldn’t be wrong; if he were a scumbag, he wouldn’t turn down a beauty who threw herself at his door...

Got it, the big star had never seen the diary; the scumbag was pretending to be a gentleman, not satisfied with a one-time encounter and wanting several more.

Upon this realization, Veronica nodded; that had to be it, there was no mistake.

Veiled in a daze, so this was the kind of quitting she was talking about; cutting off past dreams with her own hands, Wayne must really like that girl.

The question arises: who is that girl?

Megan looked at Austin with concern. She had been involved in the planning process of the female star’s scheme and knew how much Austin was looking forward to it.

Now the plan had not only failed, but in front of the key person, it inadvertently handed an assist to the rival, the outcome completely contrary to expectation...

Such a dire defeat, losing so badly, could the master hold himself together?

Austin couldn’t hold it together. His gaze turned ice-cold as he stared at Lily; "Woman, you can’t even handle such a trivial matter as sleeping; your career is over. Don’t even think about mixing in Lundan anymore."

Sensing Austin’s gaze, Lily’s heart sank, and she softly said, "I’m too immersed in the role, my mind filled with wild thoughts, it’s hard to calm down to continue singing. I plan to go to Paris to recuperate for a while until I forget... then consider making a comeback to continue singing."

You know your place!

Austin huffed and left.

Veronica shrugged, pulling along Veiled, who was deep in thought, walking away with a steady stride, head held high like a triumphant general.

The lecher wanted more, scheming to and fro, and in the end, the game was over for him.

Dumbfounded, huh? Not a bit of sweetness for you!

...

Two sedans left the temporary base of the film crew.

Hefei glanced at Megan in the passenger seat and chuckled, "Such a beautiful singer, her being able to act in this movie and just so happening to travel with my student, Mister Lando must have put in quite an effort, right!"

"Hmph!"

Sensing the chill in his wife’s words, Austin turned to look out the window, his fingers fumbling with the Ancient Silver Coin, "You’re overthinking it, it’s just a coincidence. Even if I could arrange everything, I don’t have the power to summon the Evil God."

"Ha!"

Hefei shot back defensively, "I know what you’re trying to do, just this once, never again. Facts have proved my student isn’t as bad as you think, don’t assume just because you’re a bastard, everyone else is too."

But he really is a bastard!

Is there a chance that when you pick bastards, you pick them precisely?

Austin refused to admit defeat, unwilling to be the only bastard. But before he could speak, Hefei continued, "If you really don’t like him, why buy so many stockings and keep them at home? Megan certainly doesn’t wear skirts."

Austin played dead. This was a toboggan he couldn’t even touch, every response led to certain doom.

He admitted, stockings were a good thing, and the cement barrel indeed had some redeeming qualities, not only understanding women but also having a particular insight into men.
