A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 181 Avery, You’ve Made a Big Mistake

Avery looked at the phone in Aleena’s hand and laughed. “Call the police?”

Aleena said that she was there to sign a contract with him, but apart from her cell phone, she did not bring anything else, nor did she have a backpack. Clearly, she was not here to sign the contract sincerely.

He sat down opposite her and pushed the contract over with a calm expression. “Ms. Spence, thank you for your consideration. The police are not here yet. We will negotiate the contract first.”

Aleena did not like Avery at all. But since the police would come soon, she thought at least she should wait here for the police to come and find a way to

take Darlene away.

Thinking of this, she decided to delay the time and took the contract.

“Tell me, what do you want to talk about? I have already signed an agreement with the Walpole Group to make a film that is adapted from Darlene’s comic. I think you should be very clear about that. What do you want to force me to do

this time?”

Avery glanced sideways at Cyrus. Cyrus immediately handed a check to Aleena and said lightly, “Ms. Spence, this is a token of sincerity from Mr. Gallard.

“As for your agreement with the Walpole Group, you don’t have to worry about it. We have already dealt with it. Mr. Walpole has agreed to cancel the

agreement with you.”

Aleena glanced coldly at the amount on the check and mocked, “170 thousand dollars. It showed great sincerity. You really have staggering wealth, Mr.

Gallard.”

Avery did not like Aleena’s sarcastic tone. He could tolerate Darlene’s sarcasm

towards him, but Aleena was just an actress who he thought worked for

money. How could she put on airs and pretend to be lofty?

Avery didn’t hide his emotion and said bluntly, “Ms. Spence, I heard that you’re short on money and have to do many jobs.

“You don’t seem to be a well–known actress. The amount of this check is not much, but it should be enough to hire you to act in several films.”

Obviously, Avery looked down on Aleena and said in a condescending tone, “Of course, the money is only a deposit for cooperation with you. I’ll pay you for the rest of the shooting at the same price as first–rate stars.
