Soon, only Jayson and Ariana were at the table, and Jayson was smiling so happily.
It was the first time he showed his emotions on his face.
He then excitedly discussed the casting and timeline.
Ariana, on the other hand, was somewhat absent-minded.
Seeing that Adrian was walking away fast, she chased after him and called out, âMr.
Perkins, please wait a moment.
â
Hearing her voice, Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise and stopped.
He turned around and asked, âMs.
Edwards, is there anything else I can do for you?â
âThank you so much for the investment and help.
â
âYou donât have to thank me.
You should be thanking Mr.
Fredrick,â he explained hurriedly.
Ariana took a deep breath and asked, âMr.
Fredrick is behind all this? Why would he do this?â
She always thought it was strange that the people from the BRD Group would come in to help when she needed it.
Even this time, the problem had been resolved so quickly after Jaysonâs call for help.
It was as if the BRD Group had been monitoring the situation from the start.
Ariana was not stupid.
She figured that Holden must have a hand in this, and Adrian confirmed her suspicion.
âyes, Mr.
Fredrick had ordered the company to pay attention to this movie.
We respected Mr.
Spearsâ decision to cooperate with another company, but we had to intervene when Jasper caused trouble,â Adrian explained with a smile.
Ariana would never know what Theodore had done to pull this off.
âWhy did Mr.
Fredrick help us?â Ariana was puzzled and worried.
She thought that Holden was being too kind to her.
Adrian hesitated and sighed, âAs Mr.
Fredrickâs employee, I am not inclined to question his orders.
Ms.
Edwards, it would be best that you ask him yourself.

At the Anderson Group headquarters, Jasper faced a scolding from his father.
He didnât dare to talk back.
Once Darian had vented enough, Jasper said, âDad, donât be angry.
I simply donât want to lose the bet.
Because of Theodore, you were removed from the board of directors.
I canât stand that.
â
His words were a mix of truth and deceit.
In reality, he didnât care much about whether Darian had any influence in the company.
However, flattery never hurts.
As expected, Darianâs anger subsided somewhat.
He snorted, âI know you care.
If youâd transfer the three percent of the shares back to me, Iâd feel more at ease.
â
Jasper understood that the old man still coveted the shares he held.
Darianâs self-interest infuriated him.
âDad, the three percent of the shares wonât change anything.
We should focus on finding a way to take control back from Adrian.
â Jasper chuckled, and then added, âNow that Adrian is the chairman of the Anderson Group, heâs still using SJ Entertainmentâs resources to profit the BRD Group.
You could report him to the board of directors and bring him down.
â
These words reignited Darianâs anger.
How could he have such an imprudent son?
âAnd then what? Adrian holds the majority of shares.
The board members are all fickle.
Do you think anyone will side with us? Besides, the Anderson Group is no match for the BRD Group in the end.
As long as Adrian remains vice president of the BRD Group, we have to tread carefully.
â
Jasper scowled and grumbled, âAdrian is nothin;
As soon as Jasper finished his sentence, Darian struck him on the head.
âEven if heâs nothing, heâs currently the most powerful person in the Anderson Group.
