Chapter 126

Eileen hadn’t hit up Egbert before because she knew he was still busy filming Eyes on the Rendezvous. Even though she had wrapped up filming, Egbert hadn’t yet.

Eileen sent another message. [Do you really have time? Will the director let you leave?]

Egbert replied. [Uh-huh.]

Just as Eileen was about to say something else, another message came from Egbert’s end. [Working on set. Chat later.]

After that, Egbert disappeared.

In the group chat, Phyllis suddenly blurted. [Which director? Not Galen, right?]

Bblythe responded. [Your news is super outdated. Everyone in the circle knows, Egbert took the new flick by Galen, and Eileen starred in that movie too.]

Phyllis. [Wow! That’s incredible! Eileen, you starred in Galen’s movie!]

Eileen frowned, asked. [What have you been up to?]

Phyllis. [Been in court. I’m so out of the loop, I know nothing.]

Eileen. [Short of evidence?]

Phyllis. [Plenty of evidence, but it’s complex. With the scheduling, waiting for trial and all, lots of red tape, probably gonna drag on for half a year or so.]

Before the case was closed, Phyllis couldn’t join any events.

PrismPulse Entertainment and Kenley were having a rough time too. Over the last few months, Kenley, once lauded as the rising super-star, was almost forgotten. PrismPulse Entertainment, due to the lawsuit, had many of its artists affected with resource issues.

Seeing that Phyllis was relatively upbeat, Eileen decided not to say more.

After chatting with Bblythe and Phyllis for a bit, Eileen put down her phone and went to check on the contestants. The first stage performance just ended today, so they wouldn’t be actually training for anything.
