So, the news hit the trending topics, and with Feynman pouring his heart out every hour, the number of
netizens paying attention to this issue kept growing. The defamation against the name ‘Penny‘ pretty
much reached its peak.
Nolan was happily watching the news online, having already planned out how to soll those few scripts.
He had a stable group of investors at his disposal, one of whom was Funfly.
Getting the scripts was just a matter of time, so he had contacted Funfly in advance.
Funfly had teamed up with Nolan twice before. Her Simstar Entertainment had invested in and
produced two scripts, which had yielded returns up to thirty times their initial investment.
So, when Nolan rang her up, Funfly agreed without any hesitation.
“Professor Smith, I’ve always had complete faith in the quality of your scripts. This time, I’m going to do
the same as before, I’ll buy a script for three million and spend another ten million on production. I hope
this collaboration goes smoothly too.”
When Nolan hung up the phone, a smirk spread across his face.
He reckoned Penny was a nobody, with no significant backing. Otherwise, with the trending topics
remaining as they were for such a long time, someone would have stepped in to douse the flames. It
seemed she was just a small fry.
In Greenfield, there were tens of thousands of people with money, but only those with resources were
the real power players.
Nolan chuckled coldly, waiting for the script to be delivered and the payment to be collected.
At dinner time, he received a call from Beck Sanders,
Nolan immediately focused all his attention. He couldn’t afford to be careless when dealing with Beck.
“Mr. Sanders.”
?
At the time, Beck was at a bar. He had overheard someone in Greenfield mentioning the news online
and decided to phone in and ask a few questions. “Professor Smith, about the student you sent to meet
Penny using the business card you took from her, was she the one who jumped off the building?” “Yes,
I couldn’t stop it from happening. The student gave the script to Penny privately, and now her parents
want it back.”
Beck’s eyes narrowed slightly.
As soon as he hung up, a woman immediately threw herself onto him.
“Mr. Sanders, could you stay in Greenfield a bit longer?”
Women were all drawn to him. He was handsome, came from a wealthy family, and was known for his
extravagant spending.
Beck was initially about to kiss the woman beside him, but thoughts of Penny distracted him.
So, he pushed the woman away, grabbed his jacket, and made his way to the exit.
The women were all bitterly disappointed. In the past, Beck would always stay out late, and just the tips
from a single night could amount to tens of thousands.
Maja was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Beck.
“Penny, has the stuff online been affecting you?”
Maja felt a warm sensation in her heart, a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she replied,
“No.”
Beck’s fingers casually rested on his luxury car, “Why don’t you come with me to North America? You
can teach my sister to paint, and I’ll handle everything for you over here.”
Maja had indeed thought about going with him, but if she left now, Star Movie Group would be thrown
into chaos.
These three scripts were needed to start filming as soon as possible. This was Star Movie Group’s
golden opportunity to establish them as one of the big players in the industry.
Her most pressing issue at the moment was dealing with Nolan.
“If Mr. Sanders‘ sister ever comes to Greenfield in the future, I will personally instruct her, without
charging any fees.” novelbin
Beck stood aside, laughing, his long fingers gently tapping on his car frame.
“My sister can be quite headstrong, always expecting others to cater to her. She’s been spoiled rotten,
you may not like her temperament.”
Just thinking about her gave him a headache.
“Penny, I’ll help you clear up the negative comments online first. In the future, if you ever need help,
feel free to call me.”
“Mr. Sanders, there really is no need. These negative comments are all part of my plan.”
The bigger the public opinion, the more attention it would get when everything was turned around.
She planned to make Nolan unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life.
After hanging up on Beck, Maja immediately had someone apply for copyright registration for the three
scripts, and she also instructed him to find out who Nolan’s regular investors were
Zoey told her, “It’s Funfly. They’ve collaborated twice before, and now Simstar Entertainment has
announced that they’re about to work with Nolan again.”
Although Maja had long known Nolan for who he truly was, the fact that he was so full of confidence
contacting investors even before he had the scripts in hand made her feel sick.
Since it was Funfly again, there was nothing to hold back.
“I see.”
She lowered her head, coldly scanning the trending news, the netizens were still ranting.
“This Penny is truly shameless, like a man–eating monster.”
“Why hasn’t anyone exposed her information yet? I can’t wait to criticize her.”
“She’s trying to claim a deceased person’s work right after they’ve lost their daughter! She’ll surely be
punished by karma!”
Maja got up and left, deciding to return to Rosewood Manor.
Seeing so many people paying attention, Feynman’s eyes were red and swollen as he posted another
message.
-That person still refuses to return the script, such a shameless person!
And Jean was weeping beside him, waiting for the day when Erlinda would be buried.
Two mornings later, Maja attended Erlinda’s simple funeral.
Then she personally handed the three scripts over to the couple.
Feynman glared at her fiercely while Jean’s face was full of displeasure.
Maja just bowed on the spot, then silently left.
By the time Nolan arrived, Feynman handed over all three scripts to him without any hesitation.
“Professor Smith, these are the three scripts. That woman just returned them. Erlinda trusted you the
most, and we trusted you the most too. Now I’m giving you the scripts, hoping you can show them to
those investors and see if filming can start.”
Nolan’s eyes were all lit up as he started skimming through one of the scripts.
Only a few pages in and he was already buzzing. This was definitely Erlinda’s handiwork, continuing
her usual mystery style, taking the detective genre to a whole new level!
This script would surely be a smash hit, and he was bound to make a killing out of it!
Penny probably couldn’t handle the heat from the netizens‘ criticism these past couple of days, and
quietly returned the script.
Nolan was feeling like he was on top of the world now. Penny wanted to compete with him without even
considering her own abilities. What a joke!
