Chapter 131 Do as He Says

Brady watched the feuding siblings with narrowed eyes, looking smug and self- satisfied. "Come on, Janice. All I asked was for you to have a few drinks with the producer. Why are you making such

a big deal out of this?

"I only took an interest because you're pretty and willing to work hard. I was trying to mentor you, but you're just not getting it. How do you expect to make it in this industry with that attitude? Everything I'm doing is for your benefit!

"I didn't want things to get this messy either. If you care about your brother, you should be more cooperative."

The artsy-looking guy turned to Brady. "Fine. If I do what you're asking, you have to promise the role still goes to my sister!"

Hearing this, Alistair couldn't help walking over to them.

Of the three people, Alistair only didn't recognize the girl. He knew the artsy guy. It was Aaron.

The irony wasn't lost on him. The same street tough who had terrified Liam was now being bullied himself.

In the face of real power, Aaron was just another nobody getting pushed around.

Brady wasn't just some bigwig at Emerald Media. He was also the assistant director on an upcoming show. Compared to a nobody like Aaron, Brady had serious pull and connections. He could blacklist an unknown actor without breaking a sweat.

Aaron seemed ready to risk everything for his sister's career.

Caroline had done her homework on Aaron before all this went down.

He wasn't exactly a saint, but she wouldn't call him truly evil either.

Aaron never picked on innocent people. Everyone he targeted had it coming in some way.

In that sense, he was kind of like those honor-among-thieves

outlaws from old stories.

Once Caroline had determined he wasn't a threat to Alistair, she

had left him alone.

When Alistair walked in, all three of them froze.

Brady's eyes narrowed, his darkening expression confirming he recognized Alistair immediately.
