Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 758

Chapter 758 A Request Adrien and Peter found some seats in the visitor area. Once Peter sat down, he never took his eyes off Jolina.

Kisa glanced at Jolina and returned her gaze to the director. It was unclear whether it was because of Kisa’s position in the show or because Adrien was there, but the director saved her some face and said, “Tell me your request. I’ll allow it as long as it’s nothing too ridiculous.”

“Oh, it’s not anything silly. As the plot for the next scene is the second female lead pushing the female lead into the water, I would like to request a change of actress if the second female lead doesn’t perform well for the sake of better efficiency. This means she can’t mess up her act more than five times. After all, we’ve only started shooting for a few days. It’s not too late to have another actress play the role.”

“Yeah, Ms. Becker is right. This will not only ensure the efficiency of the show but also prevent a special someone from trying to take public revenge,” Ariella quickly added.

Sharon started to explode at the sound of that, “Piss off. Why should I be replaced if I don’t perform well? What if you’re the one who messed up?”

“If I mess up, I will let you push me into the water until we get the scene right,” Kisa said casually.

Sharon was not satisfied with the arrangement. “No. That’s not fair. I object to this request. Besides, what right do you have to replace me? I was hired by Mr. Tanner, you know?” As she said those words, she glanced at Adrien expectantly. However, Adrien was smoking a cigarette and did not look at her.

“Uncle Tanner, it’s true that you hired that actress. You have to find a way to settle this matter,” Peter said with a smile.

Kisa looked at Adrien and said, “Am I requesting too much, Mr. Tanner?”

“How could it not be too much? You are clearly trying to make things difficult for me. Even the best actress would mess up. How could we guarantee that we can take this scene in one shot?” Sharon’s face blushed in anger.

“I didn’t say you only had one chance, did I? I said five mess–ups, and you’re out. Besides, you’re an international superstar. Do you have so little confidence in yourself? Or were you just bragging about your fame?”

“You…” Sharon gritted her teeth angrily while she looked over at Adrien and said, “Mr. Tanner, look at her…”

“Five times is generous enough. With your acting skills, I’m sure you can pass it on the first try. I made it five just to be safe. There’s no need to worry,” Kisa chuckled.

Sharon still refused to follow Kisa’s request. She looked at Adrien eagerly, hoping he would stand up for her. But all he did was exhale smoke rings and stay silent. The deep expression he had on his face looked like he was thinking. Peter, who was beside him, said, “Uncle Tanner, just agree to Ms. Becker’s request. If the second female lead gets replaced, it would only be because of her poor acting skills. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

“You!” Sharon glared at Peter angrily, but he did not even look at her. “If she actually gets replaced, I can give Jolina a better role,” Peter laughed.

Jolina looked away unnaturally when she heard him say that. Kisa found no trace of gratitude or joy on her face; there was only cold hatred and disgust. Without overthinking other people’s emotional entanglements, Kisa smiled at Adrien, who had been silent.

“What do you think, Mr. Tanner?”

“Alright, I agree with your request. You do make sense, so let’s get on with it,” Adrien chuckled casually.

“Mr. Tanner…” Sharon stomped on the spot angrily.

“Why are you so anxious? Are you scared people will find out that you’re not the ‘international superstar‘ you claim to be? That it’s only a name you call yourself and not a result of your acting skills?”
