Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 275 I Can Rely On You

When Hannah called Hattie to inform her about this, Hattie was so shocked that she was at a loss for words.

The candy that was right within reach slipped away!

"Mom, what do you mean by this? Didn't we already settle everything here? Wasn't the contract signed already? I've completed all the paperwork at school, and everyone knows I will start filming. What am I supposed to do if we can't film now?"

Hannah answered, "Remember at the previous dinner, he mentioned that a powerful figure in Quinston was interested in this script? Stanley informed me this morning that the project has been shelved. It won't start production until early next year. We'll have to wait for further notice on when it will resume."

Hattie asked, "What about my contract then?"

Hannah replied, "Your contract hasn't been terminated, but the filming isn't happening."

Hattie didn't understand, "What's going on here? They're stopping the filming, but not replacing me? Are they just going to keep me hanging like this?"

Hannah responded, "Yes, I don't fully understand the situation yet. I need to find out more first. If they keep delaying the production, we might miss out on next year's Best New Actress Award." Hattie pleaded, "What should I do then? Mom, please help me figure something out!"

Hannah had initially intended for Hattie to have a full-fledged debut, beginning with a Best New Actress Award victory and going on to win Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress Awards before landing a grand slam.

Now, Hattie's time would be utterly squandered if the Blind Detective script was to be delayed any further.

Hannah lowered her eyes slightly. "Hattie, don't worry too much for now. If Blind Detective can't proceed, The Moon Belongs to You is still there, right? Although I wasn't keen on that drama before, we'll have to go with that one if there's no other choice."

But The Moon Belongs to You had already signed a contract with Zelena.
