Chapter 118


Amara didn't take the contract. Her hands were clenched into fists, and she was shaking with indignation. She couldn't believe it-Finnian was still going to fire her, just to please Liliana!

Sure, his words were a bit more polished than yesterday, easier to swallow. But the message was the same. They wanted her out of the production!

"Um, Mr. Everly, Amara's the one who knows Whispers of Winter inside out. If she leaves, who's going to keep the story on track?"

Cedric was just as shocked as he was and, not daring to oppose his investor directly, he asked in a hopeful tone.

"Exactly, Mr. Everly. Who's going to take over as the screenwriter if Amara leaves? Bringing in someone new who doesn't understand the plot could be a hassle in many aspects."

Finnian's expression didn't change a bit. "Understanding the plot isn't an issue. Give someone a week, and they'll catch up.
