Chapter 502\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, he released a high\u2013quality film every other year, silencing his critics for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, he suddenly collapsed while filming his fifth movie, and the assistant director had to complete the final half.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the film was released, sharp\u2013eyed fans noticed a distinct difference in quality between the first and second halves. The stark contrast only served to highlight his unparalleled skill as a director, from his masterful techniques to his killer instinct for casting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s get down to business,\u201d Larissa said, taking a small sip from her own coffee. \u201cI\u2019m entrusting you with the direction of \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018. The lead actress is already cast, but the male lead and all other roles are yours to choose.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gustave nodded, setting his cup down. \u201cAlright. You can count on me. I\u2019ll pour every ounce of my energy into this project for you. We\u2019re going to land a decisive blow against Gale Entertainment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled. \u201cGustave, do you have a place to stay in Regal City? If not, I can arrange something for you at the Judson estate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gustave waved his hand dismissively. \u201cDon\u2019t you worry about that. My assistant has already rented a suite for me at a resort hotel for the year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, then. Just let me know if you need anything at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After seeing Gustave off, Larissa returned to the office, where her secretary, Ursa, immediately rushed over, her eyes wide with disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Judson, was that the Gustave? The legendary director who had to retire at the height of his career due to illness?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As other employees stared in shock, Larissa nodded. \u201cYes, that\u2019s him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, now that we have the people and the director, I want everyone to focus and work hard,\u201d Larissa announced to the room. \u201cIf \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018 is a hit, there will be hefty bonuses for all of you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Ms. Judson!\u201d the staff replied in unison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa\u2019s eyes were filled with nothing but admiration. Ms. Judson had managed to bring Gustave out of retirement. He was in a different league entirely from Director Benedict!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa glanced toward the marketing department. \u201cMake sure you find the right time to launch a campaign about Gustave\u2019s return to direct \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood, Ms. Judson!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was ten at night when Finley\u2019s plane landed. He turned on his phone and saw a new message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t from Larissa. It was from the female employee at Starlight Media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Mr. Judson, your sister found a replacement for Benedict!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s heart sank. He had a strange, sinking feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:131\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 502\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Do you know who it is?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reply came almost instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Yes, it\u2019s Director Gustave! The one who retired three years ago!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley froze in place as if struck by lightning. The cold night wind cut through him like a knife, making him shiver. A light drizzle began to fall, the icy drops hitting his face and chilling him to the bone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He suddenly felt ridiculous. From start to finish, he had been nothing but a pathetic clown, arrogantly thinking he could do something for his sister. In reality, he had accomplished nothing. He had changed nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as he was drowning in self\u2013loathing, his phone buzzed with another message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley numbly lifted his phone. When he saw the sender\u2019s name, his eyes widened in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, it wasn\u2019t from the employee. It was from his sister, Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
