Chapter 569 - I Refuse (1/2)

“It’s none of your business!”

Richard gave Natasha a cold glare.

People near the table quietly walked away, pretending they didn’t hear anything. It wasn’t uncommon to find couples in open disagreements with each other during such occasions, and the number one rule was to never get involved.

“She said no, and no means no!” Natasha chided.

Richard’s courteous appearance had given Natasha a good first impression. However, there was a despicable monster underneath the facade.

“Hehe. I took her to three parties before this one, and introduced her to four producers. Those connections are not for free,” Richard said, snickering.

Li Xinru’s face was turning paler by the second.

By the end, she was so ashamed of herself that she could barely look at Chen Fan in the eyes. Although what she did was an unwritten rule of the industry, it wasn’t something that she would brag about.

Natasha glared at Li Xinru.

While Li Xinru was overwrought, Chen Fan finally broke his silence.

“You had her consent, but not anymore.”

Li Xinru’s disgraceful conduct didn’t sit well with Chen Fan, but he also knew that Li Xinru had looked out for Xu Rongfei. She played a key role in Xu Rongfei’s success.

Although Chen Fan had told Li Xinru to take care of Xu Rongfei, the fact that she had followed through on her promise had impressed him.

“Humph! What if I say no?”

Richard sneered.

He loathed Chen Fan.

Chen Fan’s appearance was average and so was his background. However, Li Xinru had ditched him over this young brat twice. Not even the lure of becoming an international celebrity would win her over.

“Then you die.”

Natasha made a dismissal gesture and said, “Did you hear that? Leave.”

“You!”

Richard’s face turned so red that it looked purple.

The Timmons were a renowned family in Austria, also part of the royal lineage. Never had one of its members been insulted by an Asian man.

“What is going on?”

A white-haired old man parted from the crowd and approached them with a warm smile.

“Director Stern?” Li Xinru and the others’ faces changed.

“Director Stern is one of the most famous directors in Europe. It was the dream of many starlets to lead one of his films.”

“It’s nothing, just a couple of uncivilized Asians.” Richard then filled Director Stern in with twisted facts. He accused Li Xinru of being a wh.o.r.e who tried to manipulate him in order to get a role. According to him, even after he refused her a few times, she still wouldn’t give up and had brought her friends to threaten him.

“Liar!” Li Xinru flung back at him hotly.

“Linda, I’ve heard of you. A few of my partners have brought you up. I wonder, are you trying to break into the European Market?”

“Yes, Director Stern.” A hint of joy flashed across Li Xinru’s face.

However, Director Stern pulled a taut face and said, “I am sorry Miss Linda. You’re being banned all across Europe. We wouldn’t use actresses with such questionable morals. Casting you would be a disaster for the box office.”
