Abigail’s Second Life

Oliver slammed the table and declared, "This is going to be a smash hit! I've had plenty of blockbusters under my belt. I've already gone through the script for this one, and trust me, it's gold." Abigail inwardly sighed.

Every director thinks their own project is destined for success before shooting even begins. Some of them even have the nerve to blame the audience's taste when things don't go as planned. But the reality is, without the audience, they wouldn't achieve anything.

"If you're so confident, maybe we should make a little bet," Shaunee suggested, her voice slightly nervous.

Oliver hesitated at the idea of a bet. "Miss, it wouldn't be fair to bet on it. What if luck isn't on our side when it airs? You know how unpredictable luck can be, right?"

Shaunee licked her lips and furrowed her brow as she pondered.

Abigail poured a glass of wine for Oliver. "Is it really impossible to secure investment? Isn't there anyone in the Hinton Family who could lend a hand?"

Oliver chuckled bitterly. "We do have someone, but why would they help someone unrelated like me?"

Shaunee scratched her head. "You know, it's probably because the Hinton Family does have some clout in Capitalis. That's why they're bold enough to pick on you guys like this."

"What about Mr. Graham? Can he think of any way out of this?" Oliver turned to Abigail for guidance.

"He's really in a tough spot and will probably face some serious questioning tomorrow." Abigail sighed, and her expression darkened.

With things going south like this, Oliver found himself at a loss.

If even Sean couldn't fix things, they were surely in a bind.

Shaunee propped her chin up with her hand and stayed quiet.

"Maybe we should just pause the project for now?" Oliver finally relented as he felt trapped.

Given the circumstances, halting the project seemed like the only sensible choice, and investors were being threatened, overtly or covertly.
