Chapter 480
So that’s how it is… Aubree thought.
She hadn’t known that Carmen was behind the shared e-bike project. When she found out, she was puzzled as to why the Diamonde family would help Carmen with her business.
As far as Aubree knew, Carmen was doing well. She was pretty well-known in the art school at her university. Plus, she had stepped over her teacher to get ahead, making her a rising star in the art world.
Without any outside interference, it was only a matter of time before she reached the same level of success as in her previous life. There was really no need for her to jump into the business world and make things harder for herself.
Now, Aubree understood.
Carmen had big ambitions. She said that she joined Wilson Group to help the Wilson family deal with Aubree, but in reality, she had her eyes on Wilson Group. Her real goal was to kick Bryan out and take his place.
Aubree let out a mocking laugh. The Diamonde family had definitely been pulling strings behind the scenes, and Ethan’s ambition clearly hadn’t died. He was always scheming for a way into the Wilson family.
Aubree thought, “Those two really are thick as thieves. They are using the shared e-bike project as a stepping stone. The Wilson family is practically handing me an opportunity on a silver platter.” Aubree could barely hold back her laughter.
Aubree looked at Carmen, her smile layered with meaning. “Protect your family?”
“Well, you’d better make sure you do.”
Carmen felt goosebumps rise under Aubree’s stare. She frowned, thinking, ‘Is she actually planning something against me?
‘Even if Aubree really wants to mess with me, I’m not scared. Now that my interests are completely tied to the Wilson family, and with my uncle backing me up, Aubree will have to think twice before making a move.
Now that BeeShare had taken its first step and was firmly on track, Carmen set her sights on the next stage of development. She wanted to expand BeeShare’s reach and bring it to third- and fourth-tier cities as well.
She needed money. BeeShare needed financing.
Lately, Trevor had finally started to feel like things were going his way.
The short drama that Skyler Huber had taken on was being funded with their own money. With the current craze for short dramas and their production quality setting them apart from the rest, it was sure to be a hit.
Filming had already begun.
Trevor had joined the cast. He finally felt like he was getting back that feeling from before the whole Sophia incident. Everyone was fawning over him and treating him with respect and envy.
There weren’t many recognizable actors in the whole crew. The female lead was a total newcomer, and the rest of the supporting cast were all nobodies in the entertainment industry. In this place, Trevor was the biggest star.
Even the director had to watch Trevor’s mood and take his cues from him.
With Trevor’s fame, the lead actress, extras, and other staff were practically lining up every day just to get on his good side.
“Mr. Wilson, how about we shoot that intimate scene with you and Kate from scene ten next?” the director suggested.
‘Scene ten?’ Trevor thought, his expression shifting.
He remembered that this was the scene where the male and female leads first started catching feelings for each other. It was a kiss scene.
Short dramas had way looser rules, so as long as the chemistry was there, they could really go for it with the intimate scenes.
He and the female lead couldn’t just fake it with camera tricks. Of course, whether it was a real kiss or just a stage kiss would all come down to what he wanted.
Trevor thought, ‘As for this female lead, Kate Robertson…’
Trevor lifted his gaze to the girl sitting up ahead on a little folding chair, fanning herself with her hand in a white dress. He’d never seen a girl so innocent and untouched by the industry.
She really caught his interest.
“Sure, but will Kate be able to handle it? She’s still a newcomer, after all,” Trevor said with a polite smile.
His gentlemanly concern for the rookie actress only made him seem even more charming.
