Fierce Daddy: His Million-Dollar Sweetheart
Chapter 590: If You Don’t Want to Act, Then Don’t
CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 590: IF YOU DON’T WANT TO ACT, THEN DON’T
Ivana Monroe paused for a moment, understanding immediately that Leon Keane must have seen the live broadcast from here and learned of his mother’s actions, so he was apologizing to her over the phone.
"No need to apologize, you’re not the one at fault."
He had already done very well by sending his mother to a deserted island in F Country. The fact that he went to such lengths for her already touched her deeply. It was his mother who returned and wouldn’t let her go.
Moreover, in trying to deal with her, his mother even deceived her own son.
Leon Keane remained silent for a while and then said, "I’ve boarded the plane, and I’ll arrive in Ravenswood in about five hours."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at home."
After hanging up the phone, Ivana held her mobile, her eyes revealing anticipation. Despite not seeing Leon these past days and not saying much during the call, her heart was wishing for his return.
Because she couldn’t help but miss him.
Lying in bed at night, without him beside her, she felt uneasy.
This is probably the habit of being used to having him around!
Truly a scary habit.
A while later.
Ivana thought about the person who had sent her the video and opened WeChat to ask, "Thank you. Can you give me your bank account details now? I’ll transfer the money to you."
The other party quickly sent a message: "No need."
Ivana was somewhat surprised. She offered a considerable amount, not just a few thousand of petty cash. The opposing party’s refusal was as if they viewed money as dirt. Yet, Ivana still wanted to give the money.
Words once spoken must be kept, not to mention the great favor the other party had done for her. She was very grateful.
When Ivana asked for the bank account again, there was no response.
Fawn Rhodes, beside Ivana, saw her actions and laughed: "This person is quite unique! Ivana, could it be someone you know that feels embarrassed to take the money?"
Ivana didn’t know many people, and couldn’t think of anyone who would be so kind as to help her.
"How about making a WeChat video call to see?"
Stacy Floyd suggested.
"That’s a good idea." Fawn replied.
Ivana clicked on the video call with the other party, and all three were stunned as the other party had blocked her.
A moment later, Fawn sighed.
"Doing good deeds without leaving a name, he’s a modern-day Thunder!"
"Comrade Thunder did good deeds and left his name, right? Otherwise, how would everyone know the name Thunder? I think this person is Thunder’s mentor, truly doesn’t want you to know."
Stacy Floyd said with a smile.
Soon after.
Stacy Floyd’s phone rang.
"Sis! Where did you go? Hurry back! We’re about to start filming, and the director is frantic looking for you..."
"Uh... I have some matters, can’t return now. Tell him I’ll be back in an hour."
"How can that be? The director is already very upset now. If you come back in an hour, he’ll definitely blow up, and everyone will think you’re acting like a diva. It could negatively impact your career."
"It’s up to you. I’m done talking, hanging up."
Stacy Floyd hung up the phone, frowning.
"Stacy, where is your filming location?"
Ivana, sitting beside Stacy, overheard part of the conversation due to the quietness in the car.
"Ivana, why are you asking?"
"I want to know what you’re filming recently."
"’Snow Demon’s Tale,’ a film settled last year."
"This is a mythical film—if they could afford you, it must be a big production. The set scene must be dreamy and mysterious, right?"
"It is indeed a big production. The director invested two billion, and it’s taking place in Ravenswood’s most luxurious film base, especially for mythical films. The director did minor adjustments and brought in a foreign team for special effects."
"Driver, take us to the film base right away."
Stacy immediately realized Ivana was asking to figure out the filming address.
"No, driver, don’t listen to Ivana. Drive back, drop Ivana home first, then me to the film base; I’m not in a hurry, and Ivana is pregnant!"
"Miss Floyd, sorry, I am the Kane family’s driver, and I only follow the orders of the Young Madam Kane."
He is paid by the Kane family; not listening to Ivana means looking for resignation himself?
The salary with the Kane family is very high; he doesn’t want to quit.
"Ivana’s pregnancy is for your Kane family’s young master, young princess. Aren’t you putting Ivana first? Aren’t you afraid when Leon Keane returns, he will fire you?" Stacy was frustrated.
"No, he won’t. Leon also listens to Ivana."
Fawn, having overheard Stacy and the assistant’s conversation, sided with Ivana this time.
Stacy glanced at Fawn, her eyes seemingly saying, "Why aren’t you helping me?"
Fawn shrugged; there wasn’t any way to help.
The film base where Stacy’s filming was happening wasn’t far away, just about ten minutes’ drive. Stacy’s assistant kept calling her during those ten minutes.
Even though Stacy told her it would be ten minutes more, she continuously asked how much longer and apologized to the director.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Ivana brought Stacy to the film base, where the assistant was already waiting outside, anxiously.
Seeing Stacy get out of the car, she was almost crying.
"Sis, you’re finally here." The assistant said, "If the director vents at you later, please bear it and say a few words of apology. This is your fault first, after all; you had agreed before and now made the director wait."
"Got it." Stacy replied, "Wasn’t it an emergency for me? That’s why I’m late."
Ivana is one of the most important people in her life. She couldn’t possibly ignore it when knowing Ivana was in trouble.
"Sis having urgent matters, I can understand. The director can’t understand, though. Right?"
"I know what to do."
Stacy stopped for a moment and turned to Ivana and Fawn who had exited the car: "No need to escort me further; we’ve reached the film base, I can go in by myself. It’s quite crowded inside; Ivana being pregnant, it wouldn’t be good to go in."
Originally intending to accompany Ivana inside, hearing Stacy, Fawn changed her mind: "Alright, we won’t escort further."
Ivana felt worried: "Stacy, I still want to go in and see the set."
Stacy smiled: "Want to see the set? That’s easy to solve; once inside, I’ll take a photo and send it to you. Alright, please go back first! If you come in, and there’s any incident, how would I explain to Leon Keane?"
Fawn said: "Ivana, Stacy makes a good point, let’s get back in the car."
Ivana hesitated for a moment: "Stacy, if anything happens, call me."
Stacy made an OK gesture.
Watched the driver take Ivana and Fawn away into the distance.
Stacy then turned to go inside.
Just inside, a white script flew onto her head.
"If you don’t want to act, don’t act! Get out, why are you acting like a diva?" The director shouted at Stacy.
