Jane was helpless; it was easy to invite trouble but difficult to get rid of it.
The next day, Jane arrived at the photography studio. Star Entertainment was investing in a drama, and today was the scheduled shooting day.
To her surprise, as soon as Jane stepped in, she saw the previously arranged set turned into ruins.
She widened her eyes in shock. It had been fine when she checked it yesterday, but today it was completely destroyed.
“What happened here?”
Jane called the set manager and asked.
“This is normal. Nobody is here at night, and it’s unavoidable for a few rats to run around and knock things over, causing the damage.”
Jane quickly dispatched the set manager to fix it. The shooting was scheduled for today, so they had to make do with repairing one scene.
Jane felt a bit helpless. Although her mood was sour, the filming went smoothly.
By the time they finished the last shot, it was getting dark outside.
“Today went well. Everyone worked hard. Let’s continue tomorrow.”
The director announced through the loudspeaker, and everyone started to leave.
On the third day, Jane arrived early at the studio, only to find the set destroyed again.
She approached to observe closely. This time, the set was even more shattered than the previous day, and the force behind it was clearly intentional. It couldn’t have been caused by rats.
Jane lowered her gaze, realizing that this had caught her attention.
Fortunately, today’s shooting was outdoors, so they had to repair the set again and check on it tomorrow.
After confirming that the set was repaired, Jane finally left with a sense of relief.
On the fourth day, as Jane arrived at the studio, a gust of sandy wind blew in her face.
She choked on the air and looked closer. The previously repaired studio was once again destroyed, covered in a layer of mud. It was evidently deliberate.
Three consecutive days of destruction were no coincidence.
Jane frowned, wondering who had such a grudge against Star Entertainment, coming to sabotage them before dawn every day.
This could no longer be ignored. If someone’s mischief ruined a production of the company, it would be a great loss.
Jane had someone buy a camera and set it up in a hidden spot before she wiped her hands, instructed the team to clean up the scene, and left the studio.
As she stepped out, Jane came face to face with the director.
She composed herself, realizing that the director was waiting for her here; there must be something important.
“What’s going on?”
Jane asked.
“I just received a new investment offer. They want to replace a Star Entertainment artist. What do you think?”
“But we haven’t even finished shooting this project. How can we have another one already?”
Jane furrowed her brows, although having another project would be good, the company had many ongoing matters, and it might be difficult to allocate resources at the moment.
The director handed her the contract, and Jane immediately noticed the issue.
“The Waters family?”
The contract prominently displayed the name “Waters,” and it was clear that the Waters family wanted an artist from Star Entertainment, most likely Molly.
Jane suddenly realized what had happened. That day, Greta had warned her not to regret it. It was all connected to this.
It seemed that the frequent disruptions of the set were indeed related to the Waters family.
Jane lowered her gaze, understanding that the Waters family wanted to stop the production and devised this plan to make her surrender.
She shook her head faintly; the more the Waters family acted like this, the less she would give in to their demands.
Thinking about the hidden camera still in the studio, Jane smiled.
As expected, when Jane arrived at the studio the next day, the scene was still a mess.
She went to the corner where the hidden camera was placed and saw that it was still there. It seemed that the Waters family hadn’t discovered it.
Jane smiled and nodded, then took out the camera and played back the footage from the previous night.
After verifying the evidence, it was confirmed that it was indeed the Waters family who were behind the mischief.
Several unfamiliar figures appeared in the video, skillfully toppling the equipment as soon as they entered. It was clear that they were familiar with the studio and had done this more than once.
Next, Jane investigated the individuals in the video who were part of the Waters family’s staff. As expected, it turned out to be the Waters family’s butler and servants.
Jane smiled faintly. Since the Waters family had offered her a new investment at this time and had been talking about paving the way for Molly not long ago, all the arrows pointed towards the Waters family. This time, they had nowhere to escape.
Jane’s smile faded as she realized she didn’t have the patience to play along with them anymore. The Waters family had repeatedly crossed her bottom line, and she couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
Jane took a deep breath and called Molly.
“Take a look at this.”
Molly took the phone and watched the video. At a glance, she recognized the person in the video-it was the butler who had taken care of her since she was a child.
“How could he…?”
Molly couldn’t believe it. The butler was actually helping her parents do such things. If it weren’t for Jane’s tolerance, she might have been kicked out as well.
“I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect this.”
Molly apologized to Jane. After all, this matter was caused by her own family, and it was their problem.
“You know my character. Now that I’ve discovered this, I won’t give up so easily.”
Jane’s gaze turned cold, and Molly could only nod in agreement.
“Yes, I understand.”
Seeing Jane’s serious expression, Molly knew that Jane was going to take serious action this time.
After all, it was her own family who had done wrong, and Molly couldn’t undo what had been done.
Jane returned to her office and uploaded the video footage from the surveillance and the contract from the Waters family to the internet. Sure enough, within a short period, there was a storm of criticism online directed at the Waters family.
The Waters family’s Twitter account lost millions of followers overnight, and even their stock price dropped.
Those who were willing to do such things for their own benefit would eventually face punishment.
This caught the Waters family off guard. They didn’t expect Jane to have a backup plan, and they hadn’t prepared for this.
As a result, the Waters family’s dream of entering the entertainment industry was shattered, and they couldn’t even get close to Star Entertainment.
As Jane watched the situation resolve, her heart gradually calmed down.
On the other side, in a bar.
Marco held a glass of alcohol in his hand, looking extremely drunk and his face flushed. He looked at the glass in his hand and couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.
April…
Even though he was drunk, thoughts of April still lingered in Marco’s mind. He lowered his head, filled with deep regret.
However, his rationality remained, and he didn’t utter April’s name. He knew that it would only lead to misunderstandings.
So, he could only drown his sorrows alone in this bar.
And beside Marco, there was a figure standing in the corner.
