Damon reviewed the files his son presented. Recalling Lucius\u2019s words, it was clear that his daughter had mentioned the casting choice to Lucius, and it had displeased him. Perhaps Theon was right\u2013Lucius was annoyed that Livia was actively recommending an actor to star opposite her. In any case, it was clear that Rigby was no longer an option.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d Damon decided. \u201cWe\u2019ll go with your recommendation. Cast Fulbright as the male lead. Have the marketing department release the news. Starlight Media hasn\u2019t announced their lead yet, so we can beat them to the punch and generate some buzz.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vindicated, Theon eagerly replied, \u201cGreat, I\u2019ll get right on it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leaving his father\u2019s office, Theon contacted Director Benedict. \u201cBenedict, my father has decided to cast Fulbright as the male lead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds good,\u201d Benedict agreed without objection. While he felt Fulbright\u2019s acting had become a bit too technical and that Rigby had more natural talent, Rigby\u2019s negative press was too much of a risk. Casting him would likely trigger a public backlash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll notify Fulbright and follow up with the contract,\u201d Benedict said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After speaking with the director, Theon went to the marketing manager. \u201cThe casting for \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018 is getting a lot of attention, with fans eagerly awaiting the official cast list. If we announce the leads for our original series, \u2018Soaring High\u2018, first, we\u2019ll definitely steal some\u00a0<\/p>\n
of that thunder.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand, Mr. Tyson,\u201d the marketing manager replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theon emphasized, \u201cYou also need to understand that this series is my first project since joining the company. I need a decisive victory to impress my father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The marketing manager was confident. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Mr. Tyson. Gale Entertainment is an established company. Our marketing capabilities are far superior to that newcomer, Starlight Media. We\u2019ll make sure none of their promotions make a splash online!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theon was satisfied. This Larissa had been causing quite a stir in Regal City lately, even offending Mr. Lincoln. It was all because she\u2019d married into the Palmer family that she dared to be so arrogant. He was eager to see for himself if she was really as capable as everyone said. A strong performance here would not only secure his inheritance but also earn him the powerful backing of the Lincoln family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a run\u2013down apartment complex, a young man was changing the IV drip for an unconscious middle\u2013aged man on the bed. Just then, the phone on the bedside table rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 565\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rigby finished with the IV, sat down, and answered the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRigby, you were rejected again. You didn\u2019t get the part in the Gale Entertainment series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the news, Rigby lowered his gaze, his eyelashes fluttering. He had thought this was finally his chance, but once again, he was turned away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLacey, can you please try to fight for me? I really need the money right now\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His agent, Lacey, sighed on the other end. \u201cI\u2019m really powerless here, Rigby. You\u2019ve offended too many people in this industry with that temper of yours. Almost no director is willing to hire you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDirector Benedict was willing to give you a chance despite your past, but the chairman of Gale Entertainment refused. It\u2019s probably impossible for you to continue in this business. I think you should just quit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
