Emily returned to the office and recounted everything to Nathan. As soon as Nathan heard it, he was furious.

Emily said, "Nathan, please don't be mad. This is all my fault for not handling things properly."

Nathan comforted her. "Emily, don't blame yourself for everything. This isn't your fault. It's clear that Ophelia is out to get us."

Emily was anxious. "Nathan, what do we do now?"

After all, the two of them were the only ones who knew about embezzling the seven million dollars.

Nathan thought for a moment. "This script is by top screenwriter Elliot. It's guaranteed to be a hit. Even if we have to take out a loan, we have to get this made. If James doesn't want to work with us, he'll regret it soon enough."

Soon after, the announcement came out online. Sungate Entertainment collaborated with top screenwriter Elliot on a film titled A Life of Wonder. Meanwhile, Dreamscape Studio and Silverline Media were working on a film called With Love as My Cause.

Both films were already in production, and the competition was heating up. However, the next day, Elliot suddenly posted on social media, accusing the writer of With Love as My Cause of stealing his work. Elliot even posted photos of his original draft as evidence. Just the day before, Kevin's house had been broken into, and his script was stolen.

Since it was an old neighborhood with no surveillance, and nothing else was taken but the script, the police didn't take it seriously. To them, it was just a bunch of papers, and they shelved the investigation.

At Silverline Media, in the artist director's office, James' brow furrowed deeply. "What's going on, Ophelia? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

The script Ophelia had shown him was practically identical to Elliot's.

"I'm sorry. It's all

my fault. I've dragged you into this," Kevin said dejectedly, slumping on the couch. He took off his glasses, his arms resting on his knees, and the light in his eyes dimmed. He knew exactly who had done this but had no proof. James glanced at Kevin on the couch and frowned even more. He thought, 'What has possessed me to invest in this project?' He sighed, "Sungate Entertainment is already manipulating the public narrative online. Elliot's also planning to take this to court. If we lose, not only will all our upfront investment go down the drain, but Silverline Media and your new studio will also take a hit."

James thought, 'Does Kevin think an apology would fix this?' But he wasn't going to say anything too harsh. Kevin understood. "I'll release a statement, taking full responsibility. I won't let this drag down the company." While the public opinion snowballed, Ophelia didn't seem worried at all. In fact, she appeared quite relaxed.

James couldn't figure her out. "Are you planning to tell me what you're going to do? My blood pressure's through the roof, and you're acting like nothing's happening."
