Chapter 448 A Dignified Old Man

At the time when the Shadows was preparing for broadcast, Arya was busy for the auditions of “Love in

Burning Fire.”

Because it was a spy-based movie, she needed to do a lot real life combat scenes. Allen was

accompanying Arya for the trainings. Everything was going according to the plan.

However, what they didn’t know was when the husband-wife duo was preparing for the auditions, an

unexpected guest was waiting for them.

…

In the living room of a luxurious villa.

The air condition was working on its full capacity but it still could not stop the sweats that was dropping

from the secretary’s forehead.

In front of him was sitting an old man in his seventies.

The man was indeed old and was supposed to rest at this age, however his aura still hadn’t faded a bit,

making him look like an emperor. He aged like a fine wine.

“Do you understand what I said?” Leaning against the sofa, the old man looked at the secretary and

asked slowly.

The secretary broke into a cold sweat again. It wasn’t like he didn’t understand but he didn’t dare to do

it.

The secretary thought about a moment, then decided to persuade the old man, “Sir, why don’t you ask

them to come and meet with you directly?”

“Huh!” Hearing this the old man sneered, “If that brat listened to me, would I be here today?”

“But Sir, if Mr. Jones knew about this, he will be angry. . .” The secretary said in a low voice.

The old man found these words funny, “Do you think I care if that brat gets angry? Who is he to be

angry in front of me?” At the end, the old man snorted coldly.

The secretary fell silent. It was right. Even Allen Jones wouldn’t dare to do anything in front of this

dignified old man.

“But what you said make sense.” The old man thought for a moment, “That brat would not do anything

in front of me but he can try to prevent me from doing this.”

His walking stick tapped the ground for a few times before it suddenly stopped, “Keep it a secret.”

“Huh?” The secretary was stunned for a moment. How could he hide such a big matter from Allen?

Seeing the secretary hesitating, the dignified old man raised his eye brows.

He is now the master of the Jones Family. Could it be that he didn't even have the power to do so?

The assistant could only bite the bullet and agree to keep this a secret.

On one side was Allen, who dominated the business market, and on the other side was the old head of

the Jones Family. What could he do? Both sides were people he could not afford to offend!

However, Old Master Jones had already retired to the second-string. He only occasionally showed his

face at public events in the company. How could he be so curious about his granddaughter-in-law this

time? He did not even care about Allen stopping him. Did he specially come back from overseas to test

her grand daughter-in-law?

And it was done in secret...

Old Master Jones glanced at his assistant and picked up his phone. It was a message he had just

received. "No problem. With your help, this movie will be even more exciting! Mr. Jones, the location of

the crew is..."

Old Master Jones put down his phone in satisfaction. This message was sent by the director of the

"Love in Burning Fire" crew.

At the time when the Shodows wos preporing for broodcost, Aryo wos busy for the ouditions of “Love in

Burning Fire.”

Becouse it wos o spy-bosed movie, she needed to do o lot reol life combot scenes. Allen wos

However, whot they didn’t know wos when the husbond-wife duo wos preporing for the ouditions, on

In the living room of o luxurious villo.

The oir condition wos working on its full copocity but it still could not stop the sweots thot wos dropping

In front of him wos sitting on old mon in his seventies.

The mon wos indeed old ond wos supposed to rest ot this oge, however his ouro still hodn’t foded o bit,

moking him look like on emperor. He oged like o fine wine.

“Do you understond whot I soid?” Leoning ogoinst the sofo, the old mon looked ot the secretory ond

osked slowly.

The secretory broke into o cold sweot ogoin. It wosn’t like he didn’t understond but he didn’t dore to do

it.

The secretory thought obout o moment, then decided to persuode the old mon, “Sir, why don’t you osk

“Huh!” Heoring this the old mon sneered, “If thot brot listened to me, would I be here todoy?”

“But Sir, if Mr. Jones knew obout this, he will be ongry. . .” The secretory soid in o low voice.

The old mon found these words funny, “Do you think I core if thot brot gets ongry? Who is he to be

The secretory fell silent. It wos right. Even Allen Jones wouldn’t dore to do onything in front of this

dignified old mon.

“But whot you soid moke sense.” The old mon thought for o moment, “Thot brot would not do onything

in front of me but he con try to prevent me from doing this.”

His wolking stick topped the ground for o few times before it suddenly stopped, “Keep it o secret.”

“Huh?” The secretory wos stunned for o moment. How could he hide such o big motter from Allen?

Seeing the secretory hesitoting, the dignified old mon roised his eye brows.

He is now the moster of the Jones Fomily. Could it be thot he didn't even hove the power to do so?

The ossistont could only bite the bullet ond ogree to keep this o secret.

On one side wos Allen, who dominoted the business morket, ond on the other side wos the old heod of

the Jones Fomily. Whot could he do? Both sides were people he could not offord to offend!

However, Old Moster Jones hod olreody retired to the second-string. He only occosionolly showed his

foce ot public events in the compony. How could he be so curious obout his gronddoughter-in-low this

time? He did not even core obout Allen stopping him. Did he speciolly come bock from overseos to test

her grond doughter-in-low?

And it wos done in secret...

Old Moster Jones glonced ot his ossistont ond picked up his phone. It wos o messoge he hod just

received. "No problem. With your help, this movie will be even more exciting! Mr. Jones, the locotion of

the crew is..."

Old Moster Jones put down his phone in sotisfoction. This messoge wos sent by the director of the

"Love in Burning Fire" crew.

No one knew that Old Master Jones was a drama actor before he started his business. He wanted to

see his grandson's wife, but Allen did not agree, so he went straight to the production crew to act as an

assistant. He wanted to personally meet his granddaughter-in-law, Arya, and hide it from Allen.

He used a stage name, Royce Jones, so the director did not know his identity. What he needed to do

next was to become an old agent who played with Arya without anyone knowing. Because the identity

of the old agent was special, he always wore a hat and wore a fake beard, so he would not reveal his

true identity.

The next morning, Allen's car had just stopped at the company when he saw Martin rushing over. He

stood in front of Allen and reported a piece of news that he had just tracked down in a low voice.

Allen revealed a faint smile. "Let him be. As long as he is safe, it is an action film after all."

"If something happens between the old man and Madam at the film set..."

"Arya can handle it."

Allen only said four words before he ignored Martin and walked straight into the company.

"Director Jones."

"Good morning, Director Jones."

The man had a cold expression on his face. He greeted the employees with a nod. When the elevator

arrived, he stepped into the elevator. Martin followed closely behind.

"The old man might be too bored to relax overseas. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to

get addicted to playing games. As long as he is safe, everything else is up to him."

"What about Madam?" Martin did not know if he should tell Arya and ask her to pay more attention to

an old man who could make things difficult for her in the production team at any time.

"For now, you don't need to tell her."

Allen wanted to see what Old Master Jones wanted to do.

Besides, how could his wife not be able to handle such a meeting?

...

Arya was so focused on the audition that she did not expect Old Master Jones to come to the

production.

Because the female lead of "Love in Burning Fire" had to go through auditions to decide. Arya was just

one of the few strong competitors. She had to take out 200% of her confidence to deal with it. Only

then would she have 100% confidence to get this role.

Among the other competitors, the most famous actress and acting actress was Scarlet Barnes, who

had just won the Flying Sky TV Festival Best Supporting Actress Award.

Arya could not care about anything else at this time. Her only choice was to do her best. As for the final

decision, it was completely in the hands of the director and the producer.

Late at night, Arya was still practicing the lines and actions of the audition in front of the dressing mirror.

Her seriousness made Allen unable to bear to disturb her. When he thought of Old Master Jones

already staying at the hotel arranged by the production team, he could not help but shake his head and

smile bitterly. He did not know how his grandfather would make things difficult for his granddaughter-in-

law.

Allen processed a few more documents and saw that it was about time. He then walked to Arya's side

and said, "Take a rest. If you are too anxious, you will not be in your best condition."

Arya nodded. She reluctantly put down the script and walked into the living room with Allen.

Allen thought about it and still did not tell her about Old Master Jones. He held Arya's hand and said,

"Before the audition, you still need to attend the celebration banquet of Memory Fragment with me. I

will arrange everything when the time comes."

"But time is very tight. Can I..." Arya's mind was focused on the script and did not want to do anything

else.

"I know you value this role very much but you have prepared well. At this time, adjust your mentality

and you can also relax. Furthermore, your fans are all waiting to see your latest news."

Arya listened to his words and seriously thought about it. She nodded and said, "Okay, you have the

final say."

Because he was her Exclusive Broker.

Allen pulled her into his embrace and lightly kissed her cheek. He did not know what Old Master Jones

would do and could not make Arya take precautions in advance. There were some things that she had

to face by herself.

But no matter what happened, he had confidence in Arya.

The feeling of being hugged by him seemed to be different from usual. Arya turned to look at Allen in

surprise. "Is there anything special today?"

"No..." Allen smiled, "It's late, let's rest."

"Okay." Arya followed him into the bedroom.

When she was at home, she liked the feeling of following him everywhere. It was as if no matter where

she went, she felt very safe because this man would always be in front of her and help her shelter from

the wind and rain.

At this moment, in Allen's heart, it was also very warm.

They were a couple who were the focus of attention in the entertainment circle, but they also enjoyed

an ordinary married life. This was the rarest.

...

Regarding this celebration banquet, the Dahua had prepared very carefully, because the battle of the

Memory Fragment was too beautiful.

It perfectly blocked off all the voices of doubt. Furthermore, not only was the box office very high, with a

very good result, he pushed open the gates of the Film Festival this year.

According to the requirements of the CEO's office, the Dahua's celebratory banquet was held in a top

five-star hotel in the city. Many big shots and famous directors were invited. At the very least, it was the

reporters from the major media websites.

This was the celebration banquet of "Memory Fragment," but there was no lack of publicity for

"Shadows," so Ezekiel was also requested by Allen to be present.

However, Ezekiel would come because of his "assistant.”

When the banquet guest slowly walked into the main hall, Arya wore a jasmine colored cheongsam.

Her temperament was elegant and dignified, and the smile on her face was tranquil and moving. Her

entire person was like a colorful cloud that slowly drifted over.

Looking at the entire banquet hall, the female guests were all dressed in flowery clothes that were

extremely gorgeous. However, Arya was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam that was even more

prominent and more unique.

Louisa saw Arya in the crowd at a glance. She directly threw Ezekiel to the side and walked towards

Arya.
