Chapter 179 Take It From Gustave
Originally, Avery was holding Darlene. Feeling the resistance from Darlene beside him, he took back his
hand with a guilty conscience.
When Avery moved a little further away from Darlene, her breathing became steady.
In Averyâs memory, he and Darlene had always shared the same bed. However, although he was lying
next to her, he felt that it was very unfamiliar.
Avery did not feel sleepy. He got up from the bed and looked at Darleneâs coat beside the
bed.
In her coat bag, other than a few documents and a bit of cash, there was also a small paper bag
containing various colorful pills. The bag did not have any words on it, so it was hard to tell the usage of
those pills.
In addition to this, when Avery brought Darlene back, she was still holding a document bag in her hand.
It seemed to be something very important.
At that moment, the bag was placed on the bedside table. Avery approached it, took the bag, and took
out the thing inside.
It was a script that had already been arranged into a book. It was a thick script, and the words on the
cover were âTV Series âStar and Youââ.
There were two handâdrawn drawings under the script, which were probably promotional posters or
something like that. Avery could recognize the characters in the comic on the script. When Darlene drew
that comic, Avery had seen it many times.
He could recall a few things, but when he thought about these things now, he felt that he could still
remember them clearly.
He could also remember that Darlene had given him the right to adapt to this comic.
Therefore, now that Darlene treasured the script so much, Avery naturally believed that it should be
given to him. He thought that one of the film companies that belonged to
the Gallard Group was preparing to film this comic.
Avery looked at Darlene, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and his heart softened. He thought
that she did not hate him as much as she showed on the surface.
and that she was not so cruel to distance herself from him.
He wondered, otherwise, she would not have written this script for me and even planned to give it to me.
Thinking of this, Avery was not only happy but also had a sense of victory.
It seemed that his position in Darleneâs heart was more special than that of Gustave.
Avery felt better, and the gloom on his face dissipated a little. He took the script and quietly left the
bedroom, closing the door.
After calling Cyrus to the study, Avery handed the script to him. âTell me. Whatâs going on with this script?
I took it from Darlene. Is the Gallard Group going to investigate this
drama?â
If that was the case, then he could help Darlene to do what she cared about and spend more money to
help her.
If he could fulfill one of her wishes, perhaps their relationship could be eased a lot.
Cyrus took it and looked at it. After a long while, he replied somewhat unnaturally, âThe Gallard Group
plans to investigate this comic. Recently, the movie is about to start filming, and the selection of the
characters has been completed.â
Avery looked at the words âTV seriesâ written on Darleneâs script and frowned. âA movie?â
In the end, Cyrus did not hide anything. This movie was about to start filming, so Avery
had to know about it.
âMr. Gallard, you must have misunderstood something. You have the copyright of the movie adapted
from the comic. However, the script she wrote should be for Mr. Walpole.
âThe copyright of the TV series has been sold to the Walpole Group. At the same time, Mrs. Gallard â¦
put all the money of the copyright sale into the TV series, so she is the investor and shareholder of the
TV series.â
The joyful expression on Averyâs face froze. Then he gnashed his teeth and said, âGustave!â
The pen in his hand was slammed heavily on the table in front of him. Avery turned gloomy at that
moment.
He wondered, in the memories that I have forgotten, why is Gustave so familiar with
Darlene?
If it was someone else who wanted Darlene to write the script, it would be fine. In any case, others will
pay, and Darlene just needs to write the work. It will be fine as long as it can be filmed well.
But I just canât tolerate Gustave.
I am the president of the Gallard Group and can help my wife as long as she wants. Itâs not Gustaveâs
turn to curry favor.
Thinking of this, Avery was annoyed. âWhy didnât Darlene have anything to do with the script and
investment? Is she very familiar with Gustave?â
Cyrus was a little speechless, thinking that everyone should know the answer based on the current
situation.
Considering Averyâs feelings, Cyrus did not reply directly. He avoided the important point and comforted
Avery.
âWhen Mrs. Gallard gave the copyright to you, she only made a request. She wanted one of her friends,
Aleena, to act as the female lead because Aleena was the model of this
comic.
âBut you didnât agree. Mr. Walpole agreed to this request, so later onâ¦â
Avery let out a sigh of relief. He thought that this matter could not be easily resolved. âIsnât it just a female
lead? Just follow her wishes.
âContact Aleena now and let her act as the female lead. The payment is negotiable. If she has something
to do elsewhere, just reject it. I will pay for all the penalty fees and damages.â
Cyrus looked embarrassed. âBut now, Aleena has already signed a contract with Mr. Walpole, and the TV
series is about to start filming.â
Avery wouldnât give up. âSo what? They havenât filmed it yet. Give them enough compensation for
breaching the contract. Go and contact Cassius. Tell him that I owe him a favor and ask him to choose
another actress.â
Cyrus could only agree. âYes, Mr. Gallard. I will do it now.â
Cyrus then made a phone call to Cassius. In the room of the Walpoleâs house, Cassius.
was sitting on the sofa with a dark face.
Catalina was being controlled by two bodyguards. She curled up in the corner of the room, looking at
Cassiusâs back with a face full of fear and vigilance.
She was now delirious. It was probably because she had too many unpleasant experiences with Cassius
when she was still normal. The person she was most afraid of now was Cassius.
Even if it was just a glance, she was scared.
Gustave was pressed down by the bodyguard to kneel in front of the sofa. His mother was still under
control, and her mood was unstable. Gustave gritted his teeth and did not dare to be impulsive.
Cassius picked up the phone and understood what Cyrus meant. He immediately promised, âOf course,
there is no problem. There is no need to pay the penalty charge.
âSince Mr. Gallard wants it, Aleena will be the female lead in the movie. Donât worry. I have no objections.
My son will naturally agree with it.â
Gustave was a little agitated and wanted to get up. âI donât agree. Donât even think
about it!â
