Chapter 421

It must have been really tough for Angel to come up with so many unfounded accusations, Valerie thought Angel must really hate her.

In the past, no matter what trouble Valerie encountered, she always tried not to bother Matthew

After all, Valerie never considered them a real couple. Since they were bound to part ways eventually, it was better to owe him as little as possible. But now things were different. Since she was his wife, there was no such thing as being a bother.

“Why did you call me?” Matthew’s voice on the other end of the phone was low and soft, much like his whispers in her ear the previous night.

Valerie figured he was probably in his office now, which meant he had a computer at hand.

“Matthew,” she said, mimicking Angel’s usual innocent tone sounding pitiful, “I saw someone slandering me online. I’m really scared. Can you help me find out who I’ve offended?”

Asshe spoke, she sent him a screenshot.

Matthew’s brows furrowed insediately. This Eternal Melody?”

Valerie replied. “Yes, I used to run a book–reading account and did some other things. This ‘Eternal Melody is my account.”

Matthew was aware of this. “Don’t worry. I’ll look into it.”

Even though he said that, from the slanderous description, he had a pretty good guess who might be behind it

Valerie didn’t push him any further. Strictly speaking, it was his actions that caused her to get slandered. Once Matthew found out who was responsible, he could deal with Angel himself.

Thinking about this, Valerie felt a bit cunning and mischievous. But it didn’t matter. It was Angel who started this. She was just giving Angel a taste of her own medicine.

On the other end, Matthew assumed Valerie was genuinely scared and continued to comfort her, “Vallie, don’t worry. I’m here!

His voice was indeed very reassuring. With just a few words, Valerie felt an inexplicable calmness washing over her, making her think she could on him a bit more.

Valerie suddenly thought of something and asked, “Matthew, can I ask you something? What kind of person is Fred?”

Matthew had been relatively calm, but the mention of Fred’s name made his brows knit tightly. “Did he do something to you?”

rely

Valerie heard his anxious voice and quickly explained. “It’s nothing, I was just asking casually. Last time you had an incident in the mountains, Mr. Hudson had me sign a document on your behalf, and I met Fred at that time.”

Matthew’s brow eased a bit, then he said, “He’s not a good person. Stay as far away from him as possib

“Okay” Valerie lu

hadn’t planned to get involved with Fred anyway. She mentioned it to make Matthew n

more cautious.

After Matthew hung up, he immediately called Charles and questioned him, “What’s the deal with Fred meeting Valerie?”

Charles was eating outside at the moment and his heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He realized he had forgotten to inform Matthew about this matter. He quickly explained nervously. “Please rest assured. Mr. Fred has already gone to the sales department. 1 heard he’s been quite restrained lately

“Restrained… Matthew thought. This bastard is quiet lately. He must be up to something!

Speaking of which, Angel’s kidnapping seemed very suspicious. Matthew pressed his forehead, his face betraying a hint of anger.

After finishing her tasks, Valerie returned to Redfield Pictures.

Just as she was about to start working, Stan approached her. Seeing Valerie, he approached and said softly, “Valerie, where did you go! I heard just arrived?”

Sering Stan’s ambiguous smile, Valerie raised

an eyebrow. “Mr. Fisher, I wasn’t late today. I arrived within the designated time.” Stan paarsed. “Yes, you weren’t late. I was just asking”

Seeing a corner of the document peeking out of Valerie’s bag, Stan took a few steps closer. “What’s this?”

Valerie hung her bag behind her, zipped it up, and said, “Nothing, Just study materials”

Stan questioned, “Is that so! Valerie, you should know it’s a big risk for Redfielder.

information online saying you’ve already signed a contract with Star Xarous Group, and Once Upon A Time has started shooting, you’re doing the dubbing?”

Valerie didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly. Stan’s visit was p

was probably to confirm it with her. She couldn’t deny it now,

Without hesitation, she nodded. “Yes, I just signed the contract. Mr. Fisher, you’re really well–informed“”

Stan smiled. “Of course, right after you signed with Star Xarous, I received the news. The production of Once Upon A Time clashes with ours. Do you know any insider information? Like their promotional materials..

Valerie interrupted him directly. “Mr. Fisher, I’m not very clear about their affairs. I’m only involved in the dubbing phase, I don’t know much about the pre–production. Besides, even if I knew, I couldn’t say. It’s confidential, and I have professional ethics?

Valerie had confirmed the dubbing job for “Once Upon A Time with Shawn beforehand. Since she was only involved in dubbing and not in confidential work, and because Shawn trusted her, there was no issue from his perspective. On the contrary, Shawn thought it was a good opportunity for her to gain more experience.

However, others might not think so.

Stan wasn’t pleased when Valerie refused. He said, “Valerie, you should know, you were rejected by the entire network at one point. It was Redfield Pictures that took you in Just disclose a little, it’ll be fine. They won’t know it’s from us!!

“No!” Before Valerie could responn, A KIPTI VOILE LATTE HINDI KALAHANG AMPUTE

n was even more anxious and uneasy. “Mr. Redfield!”

Stan

Shawn looked displeased. “Valerie is right. Once Upon A Time is

is a business secret. Even if you could extract some information, we couldn’t produce an identical piece. Copying would not benetu Redickd Pictures’s development

Stan’s face turned red from embarrassment. Valerie nodded. “That’s true. Even with so many screenwriters in the industry, creating a unique 11o takes time and can’t be achieved through shortens.”

Stan felt utterly humiliated and silently cursed his bad luck for being caught by Shawn in the act.

Shawn said seriously, “Mr. Fisher, you may go back to your work now.

Stan’s face flushed. He quickly left the office. Shawn looked at Valerie and said, “test assured. Our company does not engage in such practices. Even if our scale is smaller, we will take one step at a time and work steadily”

Valerie was reassured because Redfield Pictures

s wouldn’t stray from the right path with Max at the helm. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have made it to today.

Valerie nodded repeatedly, and Shawn then left.

Finally, Valerie had some free time. After finishing the dulling work for Redfield Pictures, she began studying the script in her spare time.

However, there were

were some parts of the script that she didn’t quite understand.

The screenwriter could write, but Valerie was unsure about some cultural and historical contexts, especially historical objects.

She marked all the unclear parts in the script and tried to look them up online. But without physical references, it was difficult to rely solely on Imagination. Valerie found it quite challenging.

While Valerie was figuring it out, Shawn walked over after loving a meeting. He saw the notes

tes in her notebook. He smiled. “You don’t understand these parts?”

Snapping out of her thoughts, Valerie looked up and saw it was Shawn. Embarrassed, she spread out her notebook. “Yeah, I don’t quite get the story’s background. I can’t imagine the sense of awe from the first encounter

Shawn remarked, “That’s not hard at all

Shawn’s words surprised Valerie. She exclaimed, “Not hard?”

She thought, ‘How could it be easy!‘

The script contained many such descriptions of historical objects, but she didn’t quite grasp them. Her family background and environment growing up didn’t allow her to delve deeply into these areas.

Shawn raised an eyebrow, “I don’t have many collections, but if you’re interested, I can take you to an antique shop to try your luck. They have various artifacts you can experience. Experiencing it in person can give you a real sense of it.”

Valerie readily agreed. That would be great, Mr. Shawn”

Shawn chuckled. “It’s no trouble. Helping you understand the script better will elevate your performance, which benefits our productions.” Shawn, ever the gentleman, drove Valerie straight to an antique

market.

Upon arrival, he introduced her, “This is Antique Street. Inside, there’s a shop called Treasure Island. I can’t guarantee everything is authentic, but we’ve worked with them for a long time. We often consult them for props. You’ll see oner you get in there.”

Shawn hadn’t lied. In period dramas, props often needed to incorporate information from various museums and antique paintings Antique shops were excellent places for sourcing such details. Valerie had no reason to doubt him.

Once inside, Valerie was dazzled by the array of antiques on the shelves, from vintage clocks and glass cups in various statues of all sizes.

The shop owner seemed well–acquainted with Slawn and greeted him. “Mr. Shawn, feel free to look around!”

Shawn nodded. “I brought a friend to get a feel for things today.

He led Valerie inside and said. “Take your time to look arou

arounil. If you have any questions, just ask. The owner can give you a detailed introduction.”

Valerie’s eyes fell on a beautifully crafted brass telescope. Without hesitation, she remarked, “This telescope seems to be from the late 19th century.
