CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 405: YOU’RE A MAN AND I STILL WANT YOU, ISN’T THAT CRAZY ENOUGH?

"If you’re doing this for my sake, there’s really no need. I don’t care about her," Bella Green said nonchalantly.

Mason Bennett looked at her, his eyes earnest, and said, "But I care."

Bella was taken aback by his words.

"I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist kicking her out to film adult movies. To avoid doing something so tasteless, let’s terminate her contract."

Bella looked at him in shock, realizing he actually knew how tasteless that was.

"This isn’t just ungrateful, it’s downright insane, isn’t it?"

Listening to her, Mason didn’t care: "I even want men. Isn’t that crazy enough?"

This unexpected comment made Bella’s cheeks instantly blush again.

This man truly could find a way to flirt with any topic...

"Actually, not terminating the contract is pretty good too. At least if she’s still in your company, I feel justified in bullying her. What if she goes to another company and someone helps her bully me?"

Bella said these shameless things with righteous confidence!

Mason didn’t find anything wrong with what she said, but...

"If I terminate her contract, how could I let another company sign her?"

Bella was slightly stunned: "You mean you’re going to blacklist her?"

Mason raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "Yes, I’m blacklisting her. Is there a problem?"

Bella rested her chin in her hand and thought for a moment.

"I suddenly feel like I’m acting mighty and powerful, using the tiger’s prestige to support the wicked..."

Mason: "..."

"How down must you be to not use a single word to describe yourself as human..."

Bella: "..." o(⊙﹏⊙)o Really?

"Forget it, you better keep her around. At least she can still make you money, right?" Bella said considerately.

But Mason didn’t believe a word of it.

"What are you plotting now?"

Caught red-handed, Bella chuckled.

"Nothing really, I just think, moving step by step, who knows when I’ll get to the top. Such a good stepping stone, can’t waste it."

Mason couldn’t help but laugh, rubbing her little head.

He knew it, this little head didn’t think of anything good.

"Okay, as you wish."

Bella smiled contently.

Indeed, with her current fame, it would take years to reach Fiona Grantham’s status.

Fiona managed to climb to Best Actress in just two years not only because of Mason but also because she’d been in the entertainment industry for three years. Even if she wasn’t that popular, she was at least a familiar face on TV.

Whereas for herself, starting from scratch, it would take years even after a few films.

Why not explore a shortcut instead?

And this shortcut, naturally, was Fiona Grantham...

...

With no classes on the weekend, Bella was quite relaxed, while Mason was busy in the study dealing with the pile of work from before.

Last night, being distracted by her, he managed to finish nothing, so now he was busy.

Bella lounged on the sofa in a completely ungraceful manner, scrolling through Weibo.

Those who critiqued her continued to do so relentlessly; Bella turned a blind eye.

However, one thing did frustrate her a bit; she originally had her eye on the script for "Ninefold of Immortal Mountain."

But unexpectedly, Fiona Grantham got preselected for it.

For a moment, Bella was at a loss, unable to find a suitable script to take on.

No matter how bustling the script, it was no match for the explosive popularity of "Ninefold of Immortal Mountain" this year, said to be the highest-grossing film of the year.

However, as she continued scrolling, Bella suddenly saw a message, her eyes instantly widened, and she forgot to react.

It goes to show, when one’s luck turns, good news comes one after another.

On the screen, a glaring piece of news was trending prominently.

[Director Matthew Timberlake responds to female lead selection for "Ninefold of Immortal Mountain," no decision made yet, and no collaboration with Fiona Grantham.]

Side note: Ten updates, I’ll rest before writing the last two, post them later. My neck can’t take it, don’t rush, don’t rush.
