Chapter 1184 Arriving at Hawford
From revealing his identity to announcing his new project alongside Rowan, Tobias was now about to join an elite production team that others could only dream of joining.
This was because the screenwriter for this project was highly acclaimed. Every piece of work they produced became a hit. Their success wasn't limited to only domestic markets, and they were equally popular internationally.
However, this screenwriter had very specific tastes, and average actors wouldn't make the cut. Even investors couldn't force actors into the cast because it wasn't about money.
In short, this screenwriter was very particular and had absolute authority.
Strangely enough, the celebrity of Jacqueline's agency, Tobias, had been selected for this role despite lacking significant acting experience.
Indeed, based on Jacqueline's work approach, completing the current production well was key. She herself didn't know why she was swayed so easily by others' words this time.
No, that wasn't right. It was because the person who gave her empty promises was someone she had always wanted to meet.
It was the Wray family's scion, Lynette Wray. She was a socialite in Hawford.
The impression Lynette left at the banquet was too memorable. Jacqueline always felt that such a person was beyond reach.
Moreover, Lynette's career had been so successful that she had amassed more wealth than most could accumulate in several lifetimes in just a few years.
Therefore, when Lynette threw the bait, Jacqueline had completely forgotten her role as an agent and that her primary duty was to steer the actor's career in the right direction.
It wasn't until Marie's reminder that Jacqueline realized this.
Most importantly, if Jacqueline had impulsively agreed to this endorsement on Tobias' behalf, she wouldn't have been able to explain herself to Wynter.
"I'll decline their offer right away." Jacqueline was anxious. "I'll also handle the public opinion carefully."
Marie looked up. "Don't handle it hastily. Issue a formal statement, and make sure we don't associate with the club."
Jacqueline was slightly puzzled. "But why? I apologize, Ms. Whitman, I'm not trying to question your judgment. The other party did mention being your friend. Besides, there's no need to handle this so harshly.
"There are plenty of resources in Hawford. I'm worried that offending them might restrict our future work. You should be aware of the influence the Wray family has in Hawford."
Marie pondered as she weighed the pros and cons. In the end, she chose to trust her own judgment.
"There might be issues with the beauty club of the Wray family. We must issue the statement. If it offends them, so be it.
"If they can't handle a simple statement and want to use their influence to pressure us, then let them see what happens when they challenge the Quinnell family."
Having been part of the Quinnell family, Marie neither sought trouble nor feared it. Although Shane was a
scoundrel, she never doubted the Quinnell family's power.
Both Fabian and the late Harriet treated her well. Her swift divorce was also due to having a father-in-law who was both sensible and righteous.
The Quinnell family started as national businessmen and despised those who used their power to bully others. They had educated Marie's sons well, and now Wynter, too.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Based on the interaction Marie had with Lynette and the words she had spoken, it was clear they weren't on the same path.
Moreover, Marie suspected that the Wray family was the most opposed to the Quinnells coming to Hawford.
At 7:07 PM, the high-speed train from Kingbourne to Hawford arrived on time. A business Alphard van, arranged by the Yarwood family, waited by the roadside.
The team from the Yarwood Group paid particular attention to these details.
Knowing that Dalton was coming, the Hawford branch's manager had been waiting since 4:00 PM. He feared traffic delays might hinder his timely arrival to pick Dalton up.
