Rebirth: Top Actress, Your Big Shot Husband is Jealous Again!

Chapter 491 This Little B**ch, How Can She Compare to Me?

Matthew Timberlake’s expression was not pleasant as he looked at Gregory."Mr. Crane, I’ve already mentioned to you before, Fiona Grantham is not suitable for this role, and we have already found a suitable candidate."

As soon as he said this, Fiona Grantham’s face suddenly darkened, and she fixed a poisonous stare on Bella Green.

There was no need to say it; she already knew that the person Matthew Timberlake was referring to must be Bella Green.

If it were someone else, she might not feel any way about it, but knowing that Matthew Timberlake was denying her and tarnishing her reputation made her seethe.

The fact that they turned around and chose Bella Green was undoubtedly like stepping on her face.

This little tramp, how could she possibly compare to me?

"Director Matthew, you couldn’t possibly be referring to Bella Green, could you? A mere newcomer in such a major production — Director Matthew, are you treating the investor’s money like it’s just blowing in the wind?"

Fiona Grantham mocked with unclear intent.

Upon hearing this, Matthew Timberlake’s face showed anger as he glared at Fiona Grantham.

"Miss Grantham, I’ve told you before, you do not fit the image of the female lead this time. I have no doubts about your acting skills; it’s just that this role is not suitable for you. If there’s a chance in the future, we can still work together."

His words were quite tactful, but he didn’t know about the grudge between Fiona Grantham and Bella Green.

To Fiona, this implied she wasn’t as good as Bella Green.

She couldn’t be bothered with anything else now. Clinging to Gregory’s tattooed arm, she gently shook it and spoke with grievance.

"Mr. Crane, look at what Director Matthew is saying. I’ve been in the industry for five years and have won so many Best Actress awards, and yet I’m not as good as a newcomer who just stepped into the industry? Isn’t this too disrespectful to me?"

Hearing that coquettish voice, Bella Green shivered and turned to cast a bizarre glance at Leo Foster.

Leo Foster’s already unpleasant face turned even darker instantly.

What did that look mean to him? Fiona Grantham’s tactics weren’t something he taught her.

Sure enough, Gregory seemed somewhat pleased by Fiona Grantham’s coaxing.

"Matthew Timberlake, I’m the investor this time. What, do I not even have the right to arrange a role?"

The man lowered his voice, threateningly.

One must admit, being from an underworld background, Gregory’s manner of lowering his voice was indeed a bit intimidating.

The deputy director on the side was sweating profusely and tugged at Matthew Timberlake’s sleeve.

"Director Matthew, there’s nothing unsuitable about Miss Grantham. She’s pretty and skilled; just don’t be stubborn. Bella Green is ultimately a newcomer and won’t pull in the ratings, making it not worthwhile."

Although the voice was not loud, Bella Green, being in the same room, naturally could hear it too. She lowered her gaze and looked at Matthew Timberlake.

Matthew Timberlake’s face flushed red as he looked at Gregory. After a while, he exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Crane. It was agreed when I was appointed director that I would determine the casting, and Fiona Grantham is not suitable for this female lead."

This response, giving no face at all, instantly enraged Gregory, who slammed his hand on the table.

"Matthew Timberlake, do you know who you’re talking to? Do you think you’re the only director in this circle? Do you believe I can’t kick you out?"

"Mr. Crane, it’s best not to act impulsively. This year’s popular immortality-themed works have all come from Director Matthew’s hand. I think apart from Director Matthew, other directors might not be able to pull it off. Mr. Crane invested so much in this production to make money. If you want to promote Fiona Grantham, you can certainly tailor a project for her. Why insist on ’Ninefold of Immortal Mountain’?"

Leo Foster, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, looking firmly at Gregory, neither humble nor arrogant.
