Chapter 123 Not On The List Of Those She Sought…

Adonis noticed Hadley’s uncertainty and gave Elvin a quick order. “Elvin, fetch some additional scripts for Hadley–take your time to explore this role, Hadley. No need to rush; you’ve got plenty of time to prepare before we start filming.”

Hadley found it difficult to decline such a generous proposition, so after a moment of hesitation, she consented with a nod. “Alright, Mr. Faulkner.”

Ernest was set to return to Flynn Mansion from the hospital this week.

His recovery now demanded a period of rehabilitation best carried out in the more comforting surroundings of

his home.

Having his family around would likely help speed up his recovery.

Nyla took it upon herself to inform Hadley of this significant development.

“Hadley, make sure you’re there. We’re organizing a special meal to celebrate our family’s unity.”

“Got it, Nyla,” Hadley responded promptly, accepting the invitation without a second thought.

Upon her arrival, however, neither Ernest nor Nyla were in sight; instead, she found Eric alone, smoking on the

balcony.

The memory of Adonis‘ remarks made Hadley uneasy.

She wondered if Eric really had blacklisted Wayne simply because he harassed her that night.

Yet…

Yet, before she could ponder further, Linda appeared, descending the stairs and heading directly towards the

balcony.

“Eric, what were you thinking?” Linda asked with a frown, her displeasure evident.

“What?” Eric responded, casually flicking ash from his cigarette, genuinely confused by her question.

“Wayne!” Linda cut straight to the point. “My public service announcement was in progress, and now the producer is gone? You blacklisted Wayne, they told me.”

“Oh, that.” Eric acknowledged with a slight nod. “Yes, that did happen.”

Linda’s frustration intensified with Eric’s casual response. “Were you unaware that I was collaborating with …? He was financing the whole project!”
