Chapter Jilted Bride 105
Chapter 105
Actors and directors who had crossed Rex in the past would find themselves banned by the entertainment industry by the very next day.
Rumors began circulating that Rex belonged to one of the three influential families in Dellanex, the Reyes family.
In fact, their suspicions were right. What they didn't know was that Rex's mother came from the prestigious Carnegie family, giving him the support of two powerful clans. James said. "Well, you've seen how Rex behaves. He makes Kevin explain every scene to him in excruciating detail"
Ophelia's gaze turned icy. "Where is he now!"
"Silverline Media. Why do you think I called you?" James had been fuming all morning, especially with Rex right under his nose. How could he not be this frustrated?
"I'll be there in a moment, Ophelia said curtly before hanging up. How dare he boss around my people, she thought.
Mark showed up right on time. "Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Ronan called all night and came to the consortium first thing this morning
After all, with his beloved eldest grandson hurt so severely. Ronan was bound to show up looking for an explanation.
Kenneth casually sipped his coffee, his eyes sharp, exuding an innate arrogance. "Send him home and inform everyone that
hie to health reasons, he has officially stepped down to enjoy his retirement. No one is to disturb him. As for Patrick, he's not allowed to leave Sinclair Manor from this day forward." "Understood." Mark replied.
"As for the freeloaders within the consortium, clean them out one by one according to the list. And those overseas accounts bursting with cash-recover every last cent. Kenneth adjusted his cufflinks, and his eyes suddenly softened. He said to Ophelia. Tll be quite busy for a while. If you miss me, come find me at the consortium."
Kenneth gently traced Ophelia's cheek and kissed her on the lips. He seemed no longer planned to keep her hidden away, protected
At Silverline Media, in the artist lounge, Rex lounged on the soda in a ridiculous flamingo-pink jacket, legs crossed, while munching on nuts peeled by his assistant. He was also immersed in a game, shouting into his phone, "Mid-lane! Damn it! You dare steal my kill! Are you looking to die?" The sound effects from his game could be heard from the door.
"You get what I'm saying, right? Sitting on a nearby stool with the script in hand, Kevin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses
"Got it, got it." Rex replied absentmindedly, eyes glued to his screen. "Go on. Oh, crap..."
Just as Kevin was about to read the next part of the script, the door to the lounge burst open with a loud bang
On the screen, Rex's game cluracter was killed in one hit.
"Damn it! Who the hell..." Rex was ready to explode, but when he saw who was standing at the door, his face changed instantly, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes.
Rex quickly uncrossed has legs, tossed his phone aside, and swallowed the nuts he was chewing on. He couldn't meet Ophelia's gaze. "Elia, you're here"
Ophelia's eyes shifted to the script in Kevin's hands.
Chapter 103
Rex, eager to please, hurriedly grabbed the script. "Ah, Kevin, how could I trouble you to explain the script to me? Come on. have some nuts to boost your brainpower. 111 read it myself."
Rex quickly hid behind the script, shrinking. At that exact moment, his phone blared: "Defeat"
Rex shumpest, only to look up and lock eyes with Ophelia. His heart skipped a beat. Her overwhelming presence was just too. much for him to handle.
Looking at the usually arrogant and over-the-top Rex, who now resembled a mouse in front of a cat, his agent and assistant were utterly confused. What's going on? they thought.
Rex's agent was clearly just for show. With someone like Rex, who never lacked opportunities, the agent was too scared to cross him and just followed his whims letting him do whatever be pleased.
Is Rex's contract with the company, or does he hold it himself?" Ophelia asked Jason Butler, the agent standing by Rex's side
Having been with Rex for a while, Jason had gotten used to dismissing others. "Why do you care?
"Sort out his contract. Next year, he'll be signing with SN Entertainment," Ophelia said.
Jason chuckded, thinking. This young girl has some nerve, acting like she can give orders. Rex is my cash cow. If he signs with another company, what should I do?"
His temper flared instantly, "You think he'll just sign because you say so? Why should we listen to you? The fact that our artist is even doing your project is a huge favor. Don't act like you car
"Hey, how dare you talk to my sister like that?" Rex hurled the script at Jason, cutting him off. But as soon as the words left his mouth he froze, thinking. Why did I just call her my sister so easily? Jason was utterly stunned, thinking, "Sister?"
Rex swallowed nervously, licking his lips. "Do whatever she says"
"Yes..yes, of course." Jason immediately changed his attitude, inwardly wishing he could slap himself. What did I just say He quickly adopted a respectful tone toward Ophelia, too afraid to offend her. "I-I'll take care of it right away
Ophelia replied, "No rush. We'll handle it after the holidays. She thought that if the Hastings family found out that Sungate Entertainment had signed Rex, Emily would never sell her shares
Ophelia said. "You can all leave now. I want to speak to Rex alone Kevin, you can go ahead and take care of other things too"
The group exchanged confused glances but followed Kevin out. Soon, Ophelia and Rex were the only two left in the room.
Rex stole a glance at Ophelia, and his heart shattered again. But the next moment, he straightened his back, his eyes sparkling with hope. "You you're not interested in me, are you? Do you have a way to stop my grandpa from making you his granddaughter? Ophelia felt a headache coming on. She could never wrap her head around how this trust fund baby's mind worked. "1 actually wanted to talk to you about your future career."
"What's there to talk about?" Rex instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.
Ophelia didn't care about his reaction and continued, "Do you plan on staying in the entertainment industry, or are you going to return to the Reyes family in a couple of years to inherit the family fortune!"
"I haven't really thought about it." Rex had only entered the industry out of boredom Acting wasn't something he loved or hated it was just something he found amusing

Ophelia said, "If you want to stay in showbiz, you need to starting your craft. As your sister, I have the right to keep you in line, don't [°
Rex covered his chest dramatically, looking like he was about try. He thought, 'Can we please not talk about this?'
Ophelia added, "I've signed you up for an acting class. Drop everything and focus on improving your skills. If not, as a producer, I'll have no problem replacing you. Others might not dare, but I will: Rex sneered inwardly, Whatever
But the next second, Ophelia flashed him an innocent, almost angelic smile. "Oh, and I'll make sure your mom cuts off all your financial support."
"What?" Hex instantly bristled like a startled animal. He thought How could my sweet angel be so cruel
