The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 449

Kala clutched her palms tightly, her knuckles whitening. If the director added any more scenes for Lucia, her role as the leading lady would be nothing but a title.

She could no longer swallow her pride and stepped forward to confront the situation. "Look, if you're going to keep adding scenes, why not just give her my role as the lead?"

The director was in a tight spot. The investors had handpicked Kala, and he could not afford to disappoint her, too.

However, since the investors had not interfered after their initial involvement, he had not taken their choice too seriously. "Kala, it's just a small addition to enrich the story. Don't be unreasonable and make a fuss over nothing," he retorted.

Kala's face turned a shade of steel, "A small addition? I was supposed to shoot all day according to the schedule, but I haven't even started. It's been all Lucia. Am I the one being unreasonable?" The director's face darkened. "Kala, who's the director here, you or me? You should be grateful you're the lead. What more do you want?"

"You..." In the past, Kala would have walked away without a second thought.

But this time, she could not.

This project was secured for her by her friend Vivienne, and it was her only lifeline.

If she walked away now, she would disappoint Vivienne and sabotage her career.

Just then, a voice rang out from nearby. Everyone turned to see Stephen live-streaming.

Stephen smiled into his phone, "Thanks for the dono. Yup, I'm on set. No drama here, just actors discussing the scene. Why would the director casually add scenes for the second lead? All of you book fans have such high hopes for this adaptation. The director wouldn't dream of tarnishing his reputation."

The camera was pointed directly at the trio of Kala, the director, and Lucia.

The director, taken aback, hurried over.

Stephen generously turned the camera to the director. "Say hello to the viewers."

With a forced chuckle and seeing the chat filled with messages of support for Kala and rejection of Lucia, the director grew uneasy.
