Jasper also noticed that and continued with a complacent smile, âI am well acquainted with Andrew.
I also know that his investment strategy is to cast a wide net in search of potential targets.
The head office probably doesnât know about your project.
Andrew and I go way back.
I believe that Andrew wouldnât refuse a favor from me.
You should probably call him now and ask him to come over.
We can have a chat to see if he will compete with me for the investment.
â
Jayson hesitated, acknowledging the truth in Jasperâs words.
Following the BRD Groupâs investment interest, Jayson inquired about their venture capital subsidiaryâs investment process, which seemed excessively procedural.
The subsidiary would invest in thousands of potential projects concurrently, with numerous limitations and essentially a semi-monopoly.
The BRD Group possessed overwhelming control and could meddle with the casting process.
It was this apprehension that made Jayson hesitant to cooperate with the BRD Group.
He feared losing the film copyright by partnering with them.
Given the BRD Groupâs robust background, offending them as a director would be disastrous.
Heâd be the only one to bear the brunt of any conflicts or disputes.
Although Andrew expressed complete sincerity, Jayson refused to sign the contract without even inspecting it.
Fortunately, Andrew did not insist, but it remained to be seen if he held a grudge.
Jasperâs confident demeanor indicated a good personal relationship with Andrew, leaving him no reason to side with Jayson.
As negotiations hit a stalemate, Jasper narrowed his eyes and observed the anxious Jayson.
Ariana let out a silent sigh, knowing Jasper had come prepared and was adamant about acquiring the script.
Jasper had gone all out, and he wouldnât back down.
She whispered to Jayson, âForget it.
Tyler wonât take part in the movie.
You have an excellent script and strong capabilities.
If you pick another actor, you can still create an excellent movie.
â
Jayson shook his head.
âI think Tyler is the perfect fit for this role.
While there are a lot of good actors out there, itâs rare to find the one I need.
I donât want to give up.
â
With determination, Jayson picked up the phone on the table and dialed Andrewâs number in front of everyone.

The phone rang for an extended period before connecting, and a young manâs voice echoed from the other end.
âMay I know who I am speaking with?â
âHello, I am Jayson Spears.
â
In silence, Jasper observed Jayson and Andrew conversing on the phone to understand the situation.
A contemptuous smile played across his face.
âWould it be convenient for you to come over now? Itâs better to discuss this matter in person,â Jayson requested in a composed tone.
He ignored the others and concentrated on the call.
It was unclear what Andrew said, but Jaysonâs expression changed abruptly, and he gazed up at Jasper.
Arianaâs heart sank at the sight.
Despite Jasperâs spoiled upbringing, he had an endless stream of resources.
Although unscrupulous, he had amassed numerous connections as a member of the Anderson family.
She suspected that Andrew and Jasper were friends.
If that was the case, then Jasper had already won the negotiations.
