Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607

“Mom, according to Sandra, I have to pay back all that money. Does that mean I’ve been working for nothing?”

“How can I possibly ask the actors to give back the money that’s already in their pockets?”

Courtney said seriously, “Don’t panic just yet. You’ve been directing for a while, they can’t just not pay you at all. At most, you’ll only have to pay back a portion of it.”

“As for the actors, let the production team ask them for the money back themselves.”

“And as for whether this was Xavier’s decision, have Gerald go and ask.”

Josephine nodded. “I agree, I think only Gerald can help me. There’s no way Xav will see me.

Courtney said with a dark expression, “Or, you could go to The Croft Tower to find Xavier and demand to know why he’s treating you this way.”

“But before you do that, have Gerald ask first if the situation is really what Sandra said it was.”

Josephine nodded and picked up her phone to call Gerald.

After talking to Gerald, Josephine told her mom, “Gerald is shocked too. He said there’s no way Xav would do this, it must be that special assistant acting on his own.”

“He said he’ll ask Xav.”

“Eileen’s court case is this afternoon. He asked if I was ready.”

Courtney nodded seriously. “That case with Eileen… we’ve talked about it many times. You should know what to do. Don’t be nervous, just handle it the way we planned.”

Josephine nodded. “Okay, I know.”

She wasn’t worried about Eileen’s case at all, because Eileen would never say she was the one who ordered it; after all, as the one who carried it out, Eileen would also go to jail, and she wasn’t that stupid.

What she was furious about now was being kicked off the set.

In the Executive Office at The Croft Tower, Ryan got a message from Sandra and went into the

“Sandra said Steven is furious. He thinks she and I set the whole thing up to trick her, and that it didn’t come from you, Mr. Beltran.”

Xavier was signing documents. He didn’t even look up as he said coolly, “Just replace her. Who cares what she thinks.”

Ryan said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Beltran. The new script is great, and the director is a veteran with a solid track record. This is the’s first time in the film industry–it’s definitely going to be a hit.”

Xavier looked up at him and said calmly, “Just don’t lose money.”

Ryan saw that Mr. Beltran was giving him an out, so he nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Beltran, I’ll do my best to make sure this project doesn’t lose money.”

Xavier gestured for him to leave.

Not long after Ryan left, Xavier’s phone rang. It was Gerald calling. Xavier guessed Josephine must have gone crying to him, and now he was calling to confront him.

Xavier figured it was better to clear the air, so he answered.

Gerald’s tone was hostile. “Was it your idea to replace Josie?”

Xavier replied calmly, “Ryan told me about the situation on set. It was my decision.”

Gerald exploded, “Xavier, you bastard! You went back on your word! You said you

would definitely support Josie’s career, that you’d unconditionally support her until the movie was finished.”

Xavier said flatly, “I remember you’ve said that before. Try something new.”

“Before, it was because you cut the funding. Now, you’ve replaced Josie as the director.”

“Xavier, you cut the funding just so you could replace the director, didn’t you?”

Xavier replied calmly, “Yes.”

“You… you bastard.”

“Gerald, you’ll find out who the real bastard is in the future.

Anyway, I’m warning you, stay away from Courtney and her daughter Josephine.”
