"Well, I understand." Anna knew it better than anyone that the relationship between her and Jack was
not something that could be affected by a few rumors.
Jack lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead as he said heartily, "I must see you go to a
higher position so that no one has the chance to criticize you and bully you. Only then will you be free
to be yourself."
Anna was moved and hugged him tighter.
"You know I don't care about all that. I believe that as long as we are unified, we can overcome all the
difficulties with ease."
"Exactly!"
...
After instructing Anna with a few words, Jack left the hotel and assigned Bill with the latest task.
"There's a company called Xuanlang Media. I want it to be closed."
"Copy that! President!"
"Do you know where my grandpa lives?"
Bill nodded, "I will send you over there now."
Jack’s face was very unpleasant when he walked into the residence of Old Master Jiang, who was
leisurely feeding the fish. As soon as he saw Jack coming in, he tried to hide in a hurry.
"I've found you here. Do you want to continue hiding? From the moment you got off the plane, I knew
you were back," Jack's voice was cold.
Old Master Jiang coughed helplessly and walked over to Jack.
As expected, his grandson was more amazing. Although he had exerted great effort to hide, as a
result, his precious grandson had known his every move.
"Since you never intended to stop me in the first place, what are you doing by coming to me now?"
Hardly had Old Master Jiang finished speaking when he suddenly realized that he had asked a
question whose answer was self-evident. Of course, the reason why his grandson came here was that
he was distressed about his wife!
"When are you going to stop testing her?" Jack, who understood his grandfather's feelings, didn't stop
him at first and let him do whatever he wanted. But now that Anna had been cooking for him for several
days. Jack wondered whether his grandfather had not got tired of testing her.
"Well… It’s not the time yet. I will naturally tell her later." Old Master Jiang sat on the other side of the
sofa, making up his mind that he shouldn’t be swayed.
They looked at each other. And Jack also knew what his grandfather was thinking. Old Master Jiang
planned to wait before Layton Lee made another move and the situation was out of control. Then he
would teach the person who wanted to bully his granddaughter-in-law a hard lesson.
It looked like there wouldn't be any conclusion to this conversation either. Jack got up and prepared to
leave.
"So far, that girl is doing well. But she hasn't passed my final test yet."
Jack turned back and gazed at Old Master Jiang, thinking that if his grandfather played any more tricks
to make Anna suffer, he would have to do something.
...
Ever since Anna's phone number was made public, the news from the outside world spread even more
bizarrely.
Layton observed the atmosphere in the crew. And when Chester returned to the crew after his break,
he intentionally or unintentionally brought up those things.
"Director Chester, I think that if things continue like this, everyone will be implicated."
Chester gave Layton a meaningful glance and felt that he wanted to burst out laughing. But he held
himself back, "It's me who didn't do my job properly and didn't manage the crew properly, causing a lot
of trouble for everyone."
"Director Chester, why are you still speaking up for her at this point? If she just leaves, won't the issue
be solved?" Layton was trying to force Chester to make a decision.
"Wait a little longer. We'll have a result soon." Chester said no more and got up to walk out.
In Chester’s opinion, since he had made his position clear, Layton probably would have a way out if he
moved away from the brink now.
However, seeing that Chester dodge his question several times, Layton secretly decided that since
Chester hadn't officially made up his mind to get Anna replaced, he would push him and give him a
reason that he couldn't refuse.
Chester, who realized that Layton might make a new move, immediately told Old Master Jiang about it.
"Fine. I'm waiting for him to make a move!" Old Master Jiang snorted, "The best time to take care of
him will come soon."
Old Master Jiang's words were hinting at Chester that Layton was the male lead chosen by him and the
final decision was still in his hands.
Chester nodded. Now all they had to do was wait for Layton to expose himself. No matter how it ended,
Layton was the one who caused it.
Old Master Jiang, however, didn’t pay attention to this matter at all. Instead, he sighed bitterly and said,
"I want to have fun for a few more days. I don't want to disclose my identity at all… "
"If you don't want to, don't make it public. I can handle the matter at this level," Chester didn’t know
whether he should laugh or cry.
Old Master Jiang whispered, "Ugh. I can't delay it anymore. That brat came to warn me yesterday,
saying if I don't stop…" After all, now Dahlia entertainment was managed by Jack. Moreover, Jack was
the future heir of the Jiang family. Old Master Jiang had to consider his feelings.
"Old Master Jiang, it turns out that the person you are most afraid of is Mr. Jiang… "
"How come I am afraid of him? I'm the elder of the Jiang family. But the Jiang family is now in his
hands. I just need to be an old man who can have fun. Why should I anger him?" A large part of the
reason why Old Master Jiang was so carefree now was that Jack was capable of running the Jiang
family. If Old Master Jiang annoyed Jack, then he couldn’t find anybody else to shoulder the burden of
the Jiang family.
They were all waiting for Layton to make one last move. But Layton endured it for two days. And
although he occasionally brought up his dissatisfaction with the crew, he was pretty disciplined.
The news from the outside world was suppressed by Dahlia entertainment. And the crew resumed
normal filming. Everything seemed to be as usual.
After Anna changed her number, she wasn't harassed by those unscrupulous reporters anymore.
This was because Jack was in control of the situation. And Layton was always observing in secret,
waiting for the best time. He knew very well that if he wanted to get rid of Anna, he had to do it as soon
as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late if Dahlia entertainment covered up the matter successfully.
That afternoon, Anna was waiting for the set in the lounge. She had a scene to film in the evening.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, claiming that he was from Layton's company and coming
here to give him something. Then he asked Anna where Layton was. Anna thought about it and told
him that Layton should be shooting a fight scene in Field C right now and he could go there to take a
look.
After thanking Anna, he left.
But Anna figured out that something wasn't quite right. So she called Rosa over and instructed her with
a few words. After hearing her out, Rosa walked out vigilantly.
Anna felt that if the man from Layton's company couldn't find out where Layton was, he could have just
asked a random staff. How come he had preferred to come around to the innermost lounge of the set
to ask her?
She couldn’t chase up and question him. So the best solution was to be careful and vigilant.
No one expected that this incident was the beginning of a plot Layton had come up with early.
In the early hours of that night, a piece of news attracted the attention of the showbiz community, which
was that actor Layton had been attacked and injured in the head and waist...
After Layton had been taken to the hospital, he had been unconscious.
After receiving the news, Chester immediately rushed over to the hospital with a few of the crew
leaders. And Layton's agency arrived there at once as well.
