Chapter 463
Gerald was pissed and sent a text: [Are you fucking playing games? Feeling guilty, so you don’t dare answer my call.]
[Why haven’t you transferred the movie investment funds to Josie?]
Xavier glanced at the message and replied, [Talk to Ryan.]
Gerald: [Ryan says it’s going through approval. Wasn’t the billion already approved? The investment in Josie’s movie was confirmed. What the hell is there to approve?]
Xavier: [Ryan is in charge. Talk to him.]
Gerald grew even more suspicious when he saw the reply. [Are you backing out of the investment?]
[Filming has already started. You can’t pull the plug now. This will hurt Josie.]
[You promised you’d do everything to support her in making this movie.]
Xavier didn’t reply again.
Gerald had no choice but to call Ryan.
Ryan said, “Mr. Henderson, we already sent over 300 million to get started, and filming just began. Now they’re asking for another 100 million. You know the is strict about these things. We need the crew to provide a detailed list of expenses. Once we review it and everything checks out, we can transfer the next payment.”
Gerald said angrily, “If you don’t transfer the money, filming will have to stop. Can you take responsibility for that?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Henderson, but this is the’s policy. I can’t break it. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t, because the paperwork isn’t complete, and finance can’t release the funds without it.”
“Does Mr. Beltran know you’re holding up the film’s investment funds like this?”
“Mr. Beltran put me in charge of everything related to the movie. The Beltran Group is the investor, and I’m their representative.”
Gerald scoffed, “So you’re saying if the production team needs money, they have to listen to you?”

“You could say that, Mr. Henderson.

“You’re on a power trip. If Mr. Beltran found out, do you think you’d still have your job as his special assistant?”
Ryan said calmly, “Mr. Henderson, as I said, Mr. Beltran put me in full charge”
Gerald shouted, “You just wait. When production halts, we’ll see how you’re going to be responsible for that.”
With that, he hung up and then called Josephine.
After hearing Gerald explain the situation, Josephine became very uneasy. “Gerald, do you think this is Xav’s idea, or is that Ryan guy just flexing his new authority as special assistant, trying to make me kiss up to him?”
Gerald didn’t dare to jump to a conclusion, because he knew that Xavier had seemed annoyed with Josephine lately, and he wasn’t sure if Xavier wanted to back out of investing in her movie.
It was unlikely that Ryan was just putting on airs. He had been Xavier’s assistant for several years and knew his temper. The Beltran Group wasn’t a place where a mere assistant could cause
trouble.
“Josie, why don’t you have the production’s finance team provide the expense breakdown to the? Just wait a few more days, and the approval should come through.”
“The Beltran Group isn’t some small company; they do everything by the book.”
Josephine gritted her teeth. “Gerald, then we have no choice but to halt production.”
Because she was the one who had secured the investment, she had complete control over how the money was spent. She had even transferred a significant amount into her own account, claiming it as her director’s fee.
If the saw this expense breakdown, they would definitely find problems.
It far exceeded the director’s fee stipulated in the contract
“Then let’s halt production. Let Xavier see that without his money, the movie can’t continue filming.”
“He’s already given you 300 million; he can’t just pull out now. If he doesn’t let the movie finish, wouldn’t that be a complete waste of 300 million? Even as the head of the group, he can’t just squander the company’s money.”
