Chapter 492: As long as I say one word, no one in Brocade City will dare to invest in you.
Gregory looked at him upon hearing this, remained silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Leo Foster? I remember, you used to be Fiona Grantham’s agent, how come you’re now taking on a newcomer?"Gregory wasn’t very knowledgeable about the entertainment circle, but due to some connection with Fiona Grantham, he naturally knew about this top-tier agent in the industry.
Leo Foster glanced at Fiona Grantham indifferently, then suddenly smirked with depth: "With such a good relationship between Mr. Crane and Miss Grantham, don’t you know why she’s so committed to this role?"
Gregory cast a faint glance at the woman beside him upon hearing this, then looked at Leo Foster, waiting for his explanation.
However, Fiona Grantham was feeling unsettled and looked at Leo Foster angrily.
"Leo Foster, you’ve turned your back on your benefactor, and now you want to slander me? I want this role because I believe I’m suitable for it."
She glared at Leo Foster, filled with anger.
She never expected that he would really stop representing her after he said he would. She was the actress he groomed into stardom, and yet he just discarded her like that?
Even if he no longer represents her, how could he turn around and represent Bella Green?
When she saw the two of them together here, she was truly shocked for a moment, and she realized Mason Bennett had signed her to Stourford Entertainment.
That was the company he created for her, yet now he’s trying to blacklist her while signing Bella Green!
Leo Foster listened to Fiona Grantham’s words and sneered coldly, looking at Gregory: "Fiona Grantham has already been blacklisted by Stourford Entertainment, which is why she’s desperate to use this role to make a comeback."
Gregory was somewhat surprised upon hearing this; everyone knows Fiona Grantham is a pillar of Stourford Entertainment, and she has generated substantial profits for them. It’s said she has a deep connection with the company’s secret owner; how could she be blacklisted just like that?
"Leo Foster, I don’t know what grudges exist between you and Fiona, but as a man, isn’t it inappropriate to degrade a woman like this?" Gregory remarked with a half-smile.
Leo Foster wasn’t annoyed upon hearing this, and smiled: "Mr. Crane, are you saying you don’t trust Mr. Foster?"
Gregory sneered: "Let me make it clear today; Fiona Grantham is under my protection. I don’t care if she’s been blacklisted; today, this role is hers. I warn you to take your little newcomer and get lost."
"So, Mr. Crane, you’re asking me to get lost as well?" Matthew Timberlake also put on a stern face and questioned.
Neither Gregory nor Leo Foster gave him any face, and Gregory was enraged.
"Matthew Timberlake, I’m telling you don’t take my kindness as an insult; do you believe I’ll withdraw my investment?"
"If Mr. Crane can’t fulfill his initial promises, I can’t help it if you withdraw your investment."
Upon hearing this, Gregory suddenly laughed, a sinister and menacing laugh: "Of the several investors, who doesn’t give Gregory face? Do you think if I pull out, they’ll continue to invest? With just one word from me, no one in Brocade City dares to invest in you, do you believe it?"
This was a complete threat, a final ultimatum to Matthew Timberlake.
If he doesn’t use Fiona Grantham, then he might as well not plan to shoot this film.
Fiona Grantham smirked upon hearing this, and provocatively looked at Bella Green.
No matter what method she uses, this role is hers; Bella Green has no right to compete with her...
Just as Matthew Timberlake was glaring at Gregory yet dared not speak, the conference room doors swung open once more.
Dressed in a stylish tailored suit, Natalie Xalorin walked in with a smile upon her lips.
"Even if the investment is withdrawn, I won’t use Fiona Grantham."
Having said that, she looked at Matthew Timberlake and continued: "Director Tan, I’ve brought you another investor."
With that, the woman stepped aside, revealing a silhouette in ink-like attire, reminiscent of a nobleman from a Western painting, slowly walking in from outside.
