Chapter 774: Even if I get cancer, I won’t die tomorrow

Book:Became A Queen After divorce Published:2024-6-3

As the recording played, everyone in the room was shocked. Sean looked at his parents in disbelief. He had always thought that the most superfluous and shameless person in the family should be Cheyenne.
Turns out, everything he had belonged to Cheyenne. Over the years, his father had killed her mother, seized her rightful property, and his mother and sister had repeatedly plotted against her, nearly causing Cheyenne’s death several times. And he was no better.
He had been brainwashed by his mother since childhood, believing that Cheyenne was his enemy and that any harm to her was justified. George’s face twitched as he listened. He had already bribed the doctor, so where did this evidence come from?
Malaya’s legs went weak with fear. She had indeed let something slip when she was drunk. What should they do now?
Channing presented all the evidence and aimed the gun at George’s head, declaring in a chilling voice, “I give you three days to return the company to Cheyenne, or else, the recordings and evidence in my hands will be sent to the prosecutor’s office! According to the laws of Chulae, illegal plotting against life and occupation of property can lead to a sentence of more than ten years!”
George, who was nearly fifty-five, naturally felt terrified at the thought of going to prison, especially with a gun pointed at his head. He had no choice but to agree.
After getting the answer he wanted, Channing turned and left, his figure tall and slender, but moving slowly and with great difficulty due to his severe injury.
As he reached the door, the doorbell rang out. The delivery boy at the door was also startled when Channing opened it, “S-sir… your delivery.”
He handed the glass bottle to Channing, his eyes fixed on it. A lazy green snake was coiled up inside the transparent glass bottle, motionless, complying with its hibernation instincts due to the cold winter of Onistead and having gone hungry for several days.
“Apparition?”
At the sight of the snake, a hint of excitement flashed in Channing’s eyes. He reached out and took the bottle, his voice hoarse and weak. “Where did you get it?”
The delivery boy, taken aback by his sudden intensity, quickly presented the package details to prove it wasn’t a prank.
“Don’t get me wrong, sir. It’s from a lady named Kate.”
Who’s Kate?
Channing wordlessly tucked the bottle into his coat pocket and left the Lawrence family with the little snake. He was waiting for good news from George. If the company’s ownership wasn’t returned to Cheyenne in three days, he wouldn’t be the only one showing up at their door.
[In a famous attraction of Metshire.]
Unlike the weather in Chulae, Metshire was basking in the heat of summer, with the azure coastline stretching endlessly.
A white ship glided along the sea, creating a tranquil and healing scene, while seagulls filled the air with their soothing cries. Occasionally, a plane flew by, leaving a long trail of white in the sky.
The sea breeze fluttered the plaid dress of a young girl, revealing a glimpse of her fair, tender legs. She walked in a pair of silver high heels, accentuating her slender waist and delicate figure.
The camera slowly panned up from her ankles, capturing a moment of her black hair billowing in the wind, before settling on her perfect profile.
Her exquisite, doll-like beauty, with her round, youthful face and delicate features, drew the attention of many passersby, both foreigners and locals alike.
The dress she wore also aroused the envy of many women.
The director sat in a temporary studio, his eyes fixed on the equipment, one hand holding the script, and a cigar between his mouth.
Amidst his instructions, the thick white smoke billowed over the equipment as he impatiently wiped the screen with his sleeve, barking orders.
“Stop, stop, stop! The sound over here is barely audible. Lower the microphone! And adjust the lighting, shift it a bit to the left, we can hardly see the actors’ facial expressions!”
“Okay, everything’s ready. Let’s go again. Kate, your eyes need to show some emotions, alright? Do you even understand what emotions are?”
“It’s like when you broke up with your boyfriend, and then suddenly found out you have cancer, and you’re going to die tomorrow! Can you still smile like that?”
Kate, berated once again by the director, could only feel speechless. Even if she had cancer, it wouldn’t mean she’d die tomorrow. Perhaps the director was the one who didn’t understand.
“Mr. Stout, my brother is a medical student. Cancer is divided into early benign tumors, later malignant tumors that metastasize and deteriorate, and in the advanced stage, it becomes a malignant tumor.”
“Even if it’s a malignant tumor, it’s impossible to find out the condition today and die tomorrow, it goes against science!”
And besides, where in the world does such melodramatic things happen?
Mr. Stout was just using an example in his speech, how could he have known that Kate would actually refute his words in front of everyone and even throw out a bunch of medical terms.
What a fool.
“Enough, I’m not in the mood to discuss tumors with you. Let’s continue shooting, and the male actor, remember your entrance!”
Damn, why is this reunion scene so hard to shoot?
Kate refused to have any kissing scenes, at most just embracing, while the male actor, on the other hand, had secretly expressed his desire to modify the script last night.
Adding a bit of passionate scene here would also fit the emotional outbreak of the mission.
He verbally agreed, but was worried about what if Kate got really angry and spilled the beans later?
As he hesitated, the male actor in a blue robe entered the scene, resembling those literati from the early 1920s. However, perhaps due to his fair complexion, he always seemed a bit effeminate.
In the original work, although the male lead had a gentle appearance, he had a passionate side with a sense of patriotism and righteousness.
Now, the aesthetic trend favored these fair-skinned young idols and Mr. Stout had no choice. If he wanted his film to succeed, he could only use popular actors.
