Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Playing Against Each Other
It was only when Tiffany Lynch called him that George River learned Hannah had joined the filming crew.
He thought back to what had happened in the private room earlier, feeling a bit down and slightly annoyed.
But he was completely agreeable to Tiffany’s words, promising to do as she said even before she had finished speaking.
"Leave this to my staff at Prideful. You just get your things ready to join the crew."
"Thank you, George, you’re so kind."
"Hmm."
The man’s muffled agreement was as gentle and indulgent as ever, but his gaze seemed darker than before.
The Simmons Clan was in complete chaos.
Even though he hadn’t done the deed himself, he was satisfied with Arnold Simmons’ final outcome.
The only thing that upset him was Hannah’s attitude.
He never imagined that Hannah would be so blindly in love with Arnold, just like she had been with him.
The man was already dead, yet she still defended him.
How ridiculous.
Had Hannah been willing to bend her knees to him, things might not have ended up this way.
A young girl without any backing was fantasizing about making it in the entertainment industry. No matter how impressive Hannah was at the moment, she would inevitably be stained beyond recognition by this big dye vat of the entertainment circle.
Starting from now, he would show Hannah how far-fetched her dream that day was.

For several days, Hannah had been busy on set.
They hadn’t officially started shooting, but the director asked her to move in to familiarize herself with the male lead she would be acting with in the future.
Richard Lee was creating opportunities for Jackie Qualls. Everyone knew this, and Hannah just smiled slightly without saying a word of refusal.
She was as dedicated as a veteran actor.
This left Jackie Qualls uneasy, and every attempt to start a conversation was casually brushed off by Hannah.
Other than a bitter smile, he had no other choice.
When Hannah auditioned that day, the screenwriter of Fairy Maiden felt great regret.
It wasn’t because Hannah didn’t fit the Princess of the Demon Realm in his mind, but because she fit too well.
He was already in love with the character of the Princess of the Demon Realm halfway through writing the script, but the actual world rarely provided an actress who fit this character so perfectly.
He figured, rather than letting someone ruin the character, it would be better to make some cuts and changes and let her play as a villainess.
But after seeing Hannah’s performance, he thought that if given more time, Fairy Maiden might not be the only name for this motion picture.
However, the script was altered. The Princess of the Demon Realm turned out to be a much livelier role than before, even if she was a villainess.
Hannah flipped through the script in her hand. In the scenes to come, there were several intimate encounters.
The Demon Realm Princess, in the guise of the protagonist - a pure fairy maiden, deliberately seduced the hero. They had a passionate relationship, but at the last moment, the hero woke up to the truth, stabbing her and barely saving his sanity.
This scene was part of the original script, used to showcase the relentless efforts of the villainess, Chill.
When they got to this part of rehearsal, Jackie Qualls suddenly said, "This is your first time acting. If you’re uncomfortable, you can use a body double."
Hannah closed the script, covering the lower half of her face, leaving only her radiant eyes exposed as she looked at the man and chuckled lightly, "It’s as if Mr. Qualls is suggesting that I’m unprofessional."
"I’m just concerned about you..."
"It’s better if Mr.Qualls worries about himself. When the time comes, I might not be the first to crumble."
Her soft-spoken words and gaze were like a cloud leisurely landing on the man.
