Chapter 360

He didn’t care about the others at all, feeding Estelle ice cream as if nobody else was around, showing

extreme affection for her.

Without looking up, Estelle noticed the sharp gaze from the man across the table. She glanced at

Manley, took the spoon from his hand, and whispered, “Stop faking it, no one cares.”

Manley leaned down, lowered his head and smiled shallowly, “I’m not faking it, okay? I just want to

spoil you. I’ll do this even if Jonathan isn’t here.”

Estelle lowered her head to eat her ice cream, and the two of them whispering together looked like they

were sharing sweet nothings.

Hattie looked at Estelle curiously and couldn’t help but admire her a bit. How did she get involved with

Manley after leaving Jonathan?

Bagot smiled flatteringly, “Mr. Scott is really taking good care of Ms. Macclain. Ms. Macclain, do you like

ice cream? I have shares in the hottest Sweet Whispers Bakery in J City, so how about I give this

dessert shop to you?”

Estelle paused while eating the ice cream, she realized that Bagot wanted to please her so much that

he even offered her such an expensive gift, probably not only for Mr. Daly’s movie, but also to hide his

son and actor scandal. Once this matter is exposed, it will also have a great impact on his

company.

Manley revealed a disdainful sneer, “do you think my Estelle can’t even afford ice cream? Does she

need someone else to give it to her?”

Bagot’s face paled, “No, I didn’t mean it like that. I mean, I’ll do whatever it takes to appease Ms.

Macclain!”

Manley picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, saying lightly, “Fine, then. I don’t like the lead actress

in this film. Change her to Estelle. If you agree, I’ll destroy the photos. How about that?”

Once he finished, the faces of the people sitting around changed, especially Hattie’s, who looked

flustered and unconsciously glanced at Jonathan.

Jonathan’s gaze was deep, and he pursed his lips, “When did Ms. Macclain start wanting to be an

actress?”

Manley retorted, “Do you think my Estelle is less beautiful than Ms. Hattie, Mr. Lamont?”

Magdalen saw Manley setting Jonathan up again and couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Mr. Daly quickly said, “Mr. Scott, are you joking? Ms. Macclain is very beautiful, but the actors are

professional. And besides, the film is already halfway done, so it’s impossible to change them now!”

Manley said, “it’s your choice: give up the movie or reshoot it?”

Jonathan spoke coldly, “It seems Mr. Scott wants to take the opportunity to make a fuss as a means to

vent for Ms. Macclain.”

Manley raised his eyebrows, “Spotlight Entertainment will pay for the reshoots, and Estelle will be the

lead actress. I think that’s the real way to take Estelle’s side. Otherwise, Mr. Lamont, you can

choose on your own: who is more beautiful and suitable to be the lead actress Hattie or Estelle?”

Hattie’s face was slightly pale, and she whispered, “It’s Maisie who’s with Hooper, not me. Mr. Scott,

even if you want to help Ms. Macclain out, you don’t have to take it out on me.”

Manley laughed “Hooper and Maisie had an improper relationship, but when my man caught Maisie, he

also saw you coming out of Hooper’s room.”

Hattie’s face changed drastically, “Mr. Scott, you should speak with evidence. I got this role through. Mr.novelbin

Daly’s audition. Don’t frame me!”

Manley looked unconcerned, “If there isn’t anything, then it’s just your bad luck! But you can beg Mr.

Lamont, maybe he will kick President Raye’s investment out of this film for you.”

If the Raye family was out, Hooper and Maisie’s affair would have nothing to do with the film.

So Jonathan’s choice was to invest capital to keep Hattie, or agree with Manley’s words and change

the lead actress to Estelle.

But Estelle was not an actress at all, and Mr. Daly wouldn’t agree either. If Jonathan agreed to change,

he would definitely put himself in an unjust position.

At Jonathan’s level, money is a trivial matter to him, and reputation and fame are more important than

anything else.

Choosing not to change the actress, in a sense, would mean that Jonathan chose Hattie!

In the end, Manley left Jonathan with no room for choice!

Estelle didn’t speak up. She couldn’t possibly act, and she knew that Manley, the jerk, didn’t have good

intentions in the first place.

On the surface, he seemed to be venting for her and not letting go of Hooper’s issues, but in reality, he

wanted to anger Jonathan and stir up the relationship between her and Jonathan.
