Chapter 1348

The York family had a strong foundation in Strico, and was a famous. wealthy family in Strico.

“It’s not Bethany who cannot be trifled with,” said Rowan meaningfully.

The assistant looked at Rowan confusedly. “Hanna is just an unknown cartoonist. I haven’t heard that she had any backer.”

Rowan raised his hand and flicked his assistant’s forehead. “Why do you think I gave up another big-

budget work to star in this comic adaptation?”

“Isn’t that because Mr. Gunner’s secretary told the company that they wanted you to star in…” The assistant suddenly paused, and then his eyes widened in surprise. “Does it have something to do with Hanna?”

“You’ll know that afterward,” Rowan said with a meaningful smile.

On the third day, Hanna continued to prepare her new comic in the studio because it was not the day to go to the set.

Suddenly, Hanna’s phone rang. As soon as she answered the call, the producer’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, “Hanna, come to the set. There’s an emergency in the set.”

Hanna was stunned for a second. “What happened?”

“Many actors struck,” said the producer.

Hanna was surprised. Usually, even if this kind of thing happened, it should not be her who the producer wanted to find, unless… Hanna felt a little anxious. She hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Is it about me?”

“Come here first,” said the producer.

“Okay,” Hanna answered. After finishing the call, she hurriedly went to the set.

As soon as Hanna arrived at the set, she saw some actors hadn’t put on their costumes. Some background actors gathered aside and yelled, “We don’t care if anyone strikes. We’re paid daily. You still have to pay us for today!”

A grip saw Hanna, and then he pulled Hanna and said, “Hanna, go to the conference room. The director and the producer are there now!”

“What the hell is going on? “Hanna asked the grip.

The grip said embarrassedly, “Bethany and some other actors struck together. They said it was because of your… misdeeds in college. They didn’t want to work with you anymore.”

Hanna immediately understood that this was Bethany’s revenge.

When Hanna arrived at the door of the temporary conference room, she heard a fierce quarrel inside. “I don’t agree. How can you use those rumors on the Internet to threaten us? You said that we should ask Hanna to withdraw from the crew and not post the name of the original author in the subtitles if we want you to continue shooting. How ridiculous is that?! Which crew would do such a thing?”

Hanna immediately recognized that it was Shelly’s voice.

Then, Bethany’s voice sounded. “Everyone is responsible for resisting immoral artistic workers!”

“Immoral? Do you have any evidence? Show us if you have any! You just slander others without any evidence? Then I can also say you’re immoral!” Shelly said toughly.

“Alright, let’s put this on the Internet and ask netizens to judge whether we should resist such an author or not!” Bethany said provocatively.

Shelly paused. She knew that if it was really put on the Internet, it would only make Hanna more embarrassed.

Many people on the Internet wouldn’t really distinguish the truth but simply believed what they saw.

Hanna pushed open the door of the conference room and directly walked in.

All the people in the conference room turned to look at Hanna instantly.

“The truth will prove my innocence. Ms. Esmond, you can put it on the Internet if you want to let netizens judge it. The strike of actors will only let the crew and the investors of this drama suffer a loss.

Those crews that are about to invite you to join them might have to think twice afterward, Ms. Esmond.

If you dislike someone and want to strike again, who will bear the loss?!”

Hanna said that fearlessly, and this was not only for Bethany but also for those actors who struck with Bethany.

Crews were most afraid of those actors who would make trouble. If the news of this incident was spread out, Bethany’s reputation would be damaged in this industry in the future Sure enough, after hearing this, Bethany’s expression changed slightly, and the other actors who struck also looked hesitant.

“Alright, Hanna, just apologize to them and this will be over,” said the director.

Hearing this, Shelly immediately turned angry and said, “Director, why should Hanna apologize? It’s not Hanna’s fault at all.”

The director rubbed his forehead. He knew that well, but he had to comfort Bethany first if he wanted to continue shooting.

Moreover, compared with Bethany who had a backer, Hanna who didn’t have a backer should take responsibility.

The producer understood the directors intention, so he pulled Hanna aside and whispered, “Hanna, no one wants to see this happen, but our crew has our own difficulties. Besides, on the contract we signed with your magazine before, there’s also a term saying if the drama is af because of the author, then the crew has the right to claim compe from the magazine and the author.”

Hanna looked at the producer. He had made it clear.

“I see,” Hanna answered.

Even if Hanna didn’t do anything wrong, this society was just so cruel. Even if she was right, she still had to apologize to the person who was wrong just because she was insignificant and could be abandoned at will, while someone had strength and backers and was much more important than her.

Hanna turned around and walked to Bethany. “Sorry, it’s my fault. Please forgive me, Ms. Esmond.”

Shelly was anxious. “Hanna, why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Hanna ignored Shelly and just waited for Bethany’s words. Even if she didn’t care about the crew’s claim against her and she could compensate for this with all her property, she didn’t want to get Shelly and the magazine into it.

If the magazine also had to afford a huge compensation, then maybe Shelly who strongly recommended Hanna’s comics would also have to be condemned.

Bethany raised her chin and smiled proudly. “You want me to forgive you? Sure. You refused to be my stuntwoman yesterday. Are you willing to do that now?”

Hanna pursed her lips and took a deep breath. “Okay, I’ll do it. As long as you can let it go, Ms.

Esmond.”

“If you do it well, maybe everyone will forgive you for your previous affairs. But I’m sure you’ll do it well according to what you’ve done in college that was exposed on the Internet,” Bethany taunted Hanna while approaching her.
