Taking His Son to Back Her Up by Vicky Woods Chapter 12
Chapter 12 “What?” Salma nearly jurnped out of her skin, her heart racing and her body trembling when she heard that. The rest of the Moore family was also irritated by Salma’s commotion. After she finished the call with her agent, Salma’s eyes instantly turned red, betraying the intense emotions bubbling inside her. She had been hovering on the brink of breaking into the A–list, and this role was supposed to be her ticket to make a breakthrough in the highly competitive entertainment industry. “What’s wrong now?” Sergio asked impatiently, his tone tinged with frustration. Salma took a deep breath, gathering herself before explaining, “My agent just informed me that the investors want to replace me as the female lead in the television series.” Sergio’s frown deepened as he absorbed this information. “If I remember correctly, the investors are from Shatrera Media, a subsidiary of the Hayden Group, right? Did you offend someone from the Hayden family?” he speculated, trying to make sense of the situation. “Impossible! I do not even know anyone from the Hayden family,” Salma quickly denied, her voice filled with genuine surprise. Then, a glimmer of hope sparked within her. “Sergio, I don’t care what it takes, but you have to fight for this role for me. It’s crucial for my career in the entertainment industry!” Sergio found the situation increasingly strange. Normally, a role that had been decided upon would not be easily replaced. The fact that the investors were considering such a drastic change indicated that something was amiss. At that moment, he suddenly thought of something, “I heard that Ethan and Joel grew up together since childhood. Although Ethan spends most of his time abroad, the two have always had a good relationship. Could it be that Joel deliberately asked Ethan for help to make things difficult for you?” “That cunning Joel!” Salma exclaimed. She did not doubt Sergio’s words at all. directly to “IE you want the role, I suggest you talk to Joel about it or, better yet, god Ethan,” Sergio suggested. Chapter 12 “Sergio, what do you mean?” “Dad mentioned a few days ago that Ethan has a favorable impression of you. If you marry Ethan, wouldn’t it be easy for you to get the role?” Sergio explained plainly. “I don’t want to! I don’t want to be a stepmother. Absolutely not!” Salma refused. “I’d rather go talk to Joel than Ethan!” Sergio did not say more. Anyway, Salma had been spoiled since childhood. If she didn’t want to do something. no one could force her. “Ah–choo!” In the Royal Clubhouse’s top–tier private room, Joel suddenly sneezed. It was late at night, and it was a bit cold. “What are you standing still for? Mr. Hayden finally agreed to come for drinks. Have a few more!” Xavier urged Joel.. “Tonight, we must drink until we’re drunk!” Joel quickly replied. Ethan might have been annoyed by Joel’s constant calls, but eventually, under Joel’s persistent invitations, he decided to join the night out. In the private room, there were only Ethan, Joel, Xavier, and Leopold. They had grown up together, but Ethan spent most of his time abroad, making it difficult for them to reunite. The last time the four of them gathered was eight years ago when Ethan returned, and they celebrated his coming back.. Ethan had drunk quite a bit that night. And when they finished the drinking, he left for someone’s house. “I didn’t expect eight years to pass so quickly.” Joel, unusually sentimental, lifted his glass, wanting to drink with Ethan. A phone call suddenly interrupted them. Joel looked somewhat displeased but still answered, “Who is it?” Salma, back in her room, reluctantly dialed Joel’s number after swallowing her disdain. for him. 19:37 Fri, 1 Mar @D Chapter 12 When she heard Joel’s indifferent voice, her expression changed immediately. Her phone number had never changed. How could Joel not recognize it? Was this intentional? Men were really disgusting. “It’s Salma.” Joel was stunned for a moment. After a while, he remembered who she was and asked, “What do you want?” “I know you can’t forget me, but the way you’re treating me, don’t you think you’re being childish? Let me tell you, Joel, I can’t stand someone like you. The more you deliberately make things difficult for me, the more I look down on you…” Joel hung up the phone directly. He thought that Salma was out of her mind, and she was delaying his drinking. Salma stared at the “call ended” message in disbelief. […]
