Chapter 1315

Cornelia decided to take matters into her own hands.

If she waited until the shooting was done, or even after the show aired, and found out they had used her script then, it would be a total pain in the butt to fight for her rights.

So, Cornelia dropped a message to her contact, Nomand, hinting she had some evidence. Shortly after sending the message, Nomand gave her a ring, asking. “Cornelia, are you all bent out of shape about our decision to switch out the scriptwriter?”

Cornelia was lost for words. She’d poured blood, sweat, and tears into this, sometimes burning the midnight oil over the script. Now they were planning to switch scriptwriters, just giving her the boot like that, with no mention of compensation. She wasn’t made of stone. How could she not be upset?

Nomand didn’t wait for Cornelia’s reply. He probably didn’t give a rat’s ass about what Cornelia thought. His only aim was to get his point across. He said, “Hannah has cleared her schedule, and the shooting is going to start right after Christmas. We truly regret having to switch out the scriptwriter so close to shooting. But you must understand, our project is a big–ticket one, with Hannah confirmed as the main lead. The investors aren’t happy with your script and want to bring in a more seasoned scriptwriter to ensure quality! This is understandable.”

Cornelia chuckled, “I can understand why the investors would want to switch out the script. After all, you can’t play fast and loose with projects worth tens of millions of dollars.”

Nomand, “Glad you understand.”

Cornelia, “I do.”

“Thank you for your understanding!” Nomand said, “Cornelia, I have investors and advertisers to consider. I’m just an employee with no decision–making power, even thought I really like your script. How about this?”

Cornelia didn’t reply, waiting for him to continue. At this point, she was pretty sure these guys wanted to use her script but didn’t want to cough up the money or give her credit. Ripping off someone’s hard work like this was downright disgusting.

Nomand went on, “You’ve already spent several months writing this script but haven’t been paid. Even though we don’t plan on using your script, your hard work should be rewarded. I’m willing to personally give you two thousand dollars. Just send me your bank details later and I’ll transfer the money right away.”

Two thousand dollars might be a decent sum for many people, but for these investors, it was peanuts. If it wasn’t rightfully hers, Cornelia wouldn’t want a cent. But now they were making a killing off her hard work and trying to fob her off with two thousand dollars. Fat chance.

Cornelia chuckled, calmly saying, “You’re making it sound like you’re being generous. But I only want what’s rightfully mine. I won’t take what isn’t. If I don’t get what I’m owed, I won’t sit back and take it. I’ll have to hang up now. Goodbye!”

Cornelia promptly ended the call.

She knew her words and evidence weren’t enough to put the fear of God into Nomand and his crew. Cornelia wasn’t born yesterday. If there were resources at home she could use, she wouldn’t be so dumb as to not take advantage of them.

Just as she was about to seek help from Grandpa Augustine, another call from an unknown number came in. Cornelia picked up, “Hello? Who is this?”

A polite male voice came from the other end, “Ms. Stewart, hello! I’m Kurtis, the head of Foriver Entertainment.”

“Hello! What can I do for you?” Cornelia had heard of Kurtis before. He was the CEO of Foriver Entertainment.

Kurtis was really polite, “Some of our employees have done some really uncool things recently, including replacing you. I’ve already dealt with Frankie and the others. We’d still like you to complete the script.”

Kurtis was the big boss of Foriver Entertainment, in charge of numerous projects. He was super busy. How could he possibly have time to worry about a newbie scriptwriter like her?
