Chapter 20 Keiras Become More Confident At that moment , several peoples gazes fell on Keira . Menu But Keira just looked at Andres silently , took a deep breath , and then said what she had wanted to say for a long time , Youre really like an idiot who cant even understand human language . Upon hearing this remark , Jordon almost laughed out loud . He didnt expect that Keira , who was * usually gentle , would actually curse at someone like that . He somehow felt a little pity for Kamden as he missed this scene . Also , he felt that he should have recorded it just now . Meanwhile , Andres expression froze , and he couldnt quite grasp the situation . What did you say ? Neira snorted , Feel free to quit acting in this play if you want ! As for Marlee , shes not capable enough . No one can let her stay in the cast ! You … Andres was so angry that his eyes widened as he glared at Keira . Youre really … He thought , Sure enough , it was her ! She used despicable means and took away Marlees spot ! Yes , Im unyielding and stubborn . I wont listen to you anyway . If you want to leave , then quickly take your beloved and leave . We dont have room for you two here ! As soon as Keira finished these words , she felt a bit nervous . After all , the one in charge here was not her , but Markus . And she wasnt entitled to decide whether to let Andres stay or not . Andres also knew about it . He looked at Markus and asked coldly , Mr. Schultz , you just let her act so recklessly like that ? Markus blinked and didnt say anything . To be honest , he was somewhat surprised when Everett recommended Andres to play a role in this movie . Andres had good acting skills , and he was also popular , making him a great candidate . Schultz , Jordon suddenly spoke up with a half smile . Actor is a profession , right ? Since thats the case , shouldnt the actors be dedicated as well ? His words were neither fast nor slow , but Keira could still sense a hint of oppressiveness like she had seen in Kamden . Jordon smiled coldly and continued , The outside world knows that the employee benefits of our Vaughan Group far exceed those of other companies . Vaughan is not a fool . An unprofessional employee will never have the opportunity to enter the Vaughan Group . The Vaughan Group has abundant funds . Even if we want to invest in a movie all on our own , its expense is still nothing compared to the annual income of the Mr. Schultz , what do you say ? Markus pursed his lips and glanced at Andres . Jordon expressed his thoughts in a tactful manner , but the meaning was already very cleara Andres wasnt a dedicated actor , and he was the kind of person Kamden hated the most . As long 16.1 % Andres left , Markus could ask the Vaughan Group for as much investment as he wanted for his movie . Even if he wanted tens of millions of dollars , the Vaughan Group would agree . Markus knew that millions of dollars were not a big deal for the Vaughan Group . Somehow , he felt that Jordon was intentionally targeting Andres . On the other hand , when Ketra heard Jordons words , she was a bit shocked . She suddenly remembered that she had casually mentioned to Kamden yesterday that she felt the investment amount brought in by Markus for this movie might not be enough . She also mentioned that if we couldnt get the subsequent funding , everyone in the crew might have to tighten their belts and live frugally . Unexpectedly , Jordon came over today . If Keira didnt come here today , she might not even know about it . Suddenly , Keira felt a little touched . But meanwhile , she was also a little worried that Jordon might have exaggerated it in order to protect her . After all , the money of the Vaughan Group didnt come out of thin air . She gently tugged at Jordons sleeve and whispered , Jordon , I think maybe its enough . Dont be too exaggerated . * At the same time , Andres face darkened . up for Marlee was taken aback by the situation , but she still remembered that she should stand Andres . She looked at Jordon and piped up , Who are you ? The decision of whether the actor stays or leaves should be made by Mr. Who do you think you are to have a say here ? Hearing this , Keira pressed her lips together hard , afraid of laughing out loud In theory , Markus would indeed not easily be influenced by investors opinions . However , the Vaughan Group was too generous in money this time . The roles of the movie hadnt been officially announced yet , and Andres had not signed the contract . He was originally recommended to come here by Andres , and the audition was just a formality at first . But now … Keira noticed that Markus was hesitating . Markus originally intended to let Andres stay . After all , it was Everett who recommended Andres , and Markus didnt want to make things difficult for both parties However , after Andres said that he would only stay if Marlee stayed , Markus no longer wanted to let him stay . Now , he began to feel troubled about how to explain it to Everett later . Apparently , Andres and Keira were at odds , and the Vaughan Group had provided Markus with such a generous offer . Markus was not hesitant anymore . Andres , he smiled apologetically . Keira is right . Marlee is indeed not capable . She cant stay in the cast . How about this ? If there are any new movies in the future , I will consider giving her a chance , OK ? As for you , my original intention was to keep you . But as you can see now , I have to keep the Vaughan Groups investment . This is not only for myself but also for the entire cast and crew . I hope you can understand . 16.1 % In short , Andres Markus suddenly Chapter 20 Keiras Become More Conf wanted clenched money , and Andres and Marlee had to leavet his fist , clearly not expecting this outcome . His face darkened even more . He thought it must be Keira who let Markus make this decision . He glared at Keira , hissing , Keira , youve really surprised me ! Keira was puzzled . She frowned and thought , Whats wrong with him ? What does it have to do with me ? How could this happen ? Marlee was bewildered . This was completely different from what she had anticipated . Now , even Markus had refused to let them stay . With both Markus and Jordons support , Keira had become more confident . She chuckled and asked Marlee with a playful smile , Arent you curious about who this man is ? Marlee showed a pitiful look . She looked up at Jordon , her eyes still red with tears . Keira raised her chin at Jordon , and Jordon and Jordon immediately straightened his back Jordon truly felt that it was an honor to be able to help Keira . After all , he knew very clearly how important she was in Kamdens heart . To leave a good impression on Kamden , Jordon felt that it was much more effective to flatter Keira than to curry favor with Kamden himself . Keira said with a smile , This is Mr. Jordon Wilcox , the personal assistant of the president of the Vaughan Group . Though her voice was soft , Marlee found it grating . And so did Andres . The Vaughan Group ? He showed a doubtful look . After all these years , you havent cut off contact with Derick ? Keira stood still , her eyes filled with a faint chill , exuding a cold sensation . Why are you suddenly interested in my personal affairs ? She had a smile on her lips , but there wasnt a trace of happiness in her eyes . Andres was stunned for a moment . He used to be very strict with Keira . He was possessive and couldnt stand her having any relationship with other men . Occasionally , he would even get jealous over some work related matters of hers . But in the past two years , after he became an award winning actor , his workload increased significantly . Plus , at that time , Marlee had just entered the entertainment industry . So , Andres was a bit distracted and naturally paid less attention to the things around Keira . Andres thought that faithfulness was the most basic requirement in a romantic relationship . And now , he glared at Keira , and his heart was filled with anger . Keira , you betrayed me ? Hearing this , Keira almost laughed out loud . She sneered at him , You better let go of your little sister in your arms before coming to question me !
